Finally, here's the last chapter. And I'm really sorry for the very disturbing events of the last chapter. I just really had to add that part. I find it very sick and funny. LOL.

Thank you all for reading the story and reviewing. I hope you like this ending. Oh, and a short advertisement, if you loved this, read my other story Percy Jackson and the Falling Stars!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything.


Camp of the Dead, Part 3


"What the Hades is going on?" I asked very confused. All the campers strangely were back to normal and have costumes on. They were gathered at the center of the mess hall, holding very big banners that said 'SURPRISE!' and 'HAPPY HALLOWEEN!'.

"Don't you dare use my name in such manner, boy," someone said behind me. I turned around to see all the gods standing by the entrance of the pavilion. They were all smiling except Hades who was glaring at me, Athena who gave me a very stern look, and Dionysus who was drinking from a can of coke and not really caring.

"I'm sorry, my lord," I apologized. He waved his hand as they all dispersed and mingled with their children. Annabeth, who was standing beside me the whole time, intertwined her fingers with mine. She was also probably the one who covered my mouth and removed my blindfold.

"You knew about this all along?"

"Yeah. So, what do you think?" she smirked.

"What exactly is going on?"

"You're such a Seaweed Brain," she said, rolling her eyes. "Haven't you figured it out yet?"

"Uh, no?"

"Well, we all thought that it would be nice to throw a party after the war because there wasn't any. Since Olympus is still under renovation, we decided to have it here."

"Why on Halloween?"

"Because-"

"It was our idea!" Travis and Connor interrupted as some my friends started to gather with us. Will and Jake patted my back, Katie smiled, and even Pollux, who I just got to know since the war, came by.

"We wanted to pull the greatest prank ever!" Connor said.

"And what better day to do it than on Halloween!" Travis added.

"So, you waited for 2 months just to hold a party, and pull a prank?

"You're finally catching up. I'm proud of you," Annabeth mocked. They all laughed but I just ignored them.

"And why me?" I asked.

"Because we wanted to see you cry for your mommy, punk," Clarisse anwered as she and Chris joined in. Chris nodded in greeting, "Hey."

I glared at her. I was about to answer back when Grover charged me. "Perrrcy!"

"Hey, G-man. You were in this to?"

"Everyone is," he grinned.

"You're telling me, you all had this planned out?"

"That's exactly what we're saying, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth concluded.

"You guys," I said, shaking my head but I can't help but smile. We all chatted for awhile and surprisingly, we were all getting along, especially with Clarisse. I was actually having a good time, but soon they went their separate ways to talk to others, leaving me and Annabeth. Slow music started playing as campers started to dance.

"I can't believe you all had the nerve to do that to me," I said in disbelief.

"What's the matter? Did you wet your shorts?" she asked teasingly.

"Ha-ha," I smiled as I put my hands around her waist, holding her close to me. We started swaying along with the music.

"I told you. I always have a plan," she whispered, putting her arms on my shoulders.

"Yeah. I already know that," I answered as I closed the gap between us, my forehead touching hers. "How did you pull it off?"

"Everybody helped for the cause. The Hecate cabin did the transformation spell. The Aphrodite cabin helped with make-up and costumes. The Hephaestus cabin made a few automatons for additional effects. Those were the ones with falling body parts," she pointed out. I shuddered as I remembered thinking of campers crumbling into pieces. "Then the Apollo cabin did the sound effects, like Nico's voice. The gods even helped us, like Hermes with-"

"I get the point," I cut her off. She was having too much fun with the ideas of her plan. "But what was it all for?"

"For the hero of Olympus to wet his shorts," she smirked.

"Then you've failed," I pointed out.

"Well, it doesn't matter. The point is we all enjoyed and had some fun."

"You all had the fun! And I was the one you were all making fun of!" I complained.

She leaned in and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. "Still not having fun?" she teased.

"Maybe," I grinned as I kissed her back. It didn't really matter if we were making a scene because everybody was busy bustling around. I didn't even mind if Athena saw us, until somebody cleared their throat to get our attention. I nervously pulled away, taking back what I said about not minding Athena watching us. Man, was I so glad when I turned to face the one I was impersonating, my father, Poseidon.

"Hey, dad," I smiled. We would've passed as identical twins, except that he was taller and looked a lot older.

"May I borrow him for awhile, Annabeth?" he asked kindly. She nodded and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving us.

"Great catch, son," he winked. I laughed heavily. I actually found his joke very funny. You know, because he's the God of the Sea, and he loves to fish, and he said 'Great catch'. You don't get it? Never mind. But seriously, he has no idea how lucky I am to actually end up with Annabeth.

"So, what's up, dad?"

"Well, nothing is up. Except your uncle who's showing off again," he said, pointing up. We laughed. Zeus was hovering in the air juggling ten electric balls as everyone watched and clapped in amazement.

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

"What do you mean?"

"We've been watching you the whole night. And I have to say, you were more frightened tonight than the time you faced Kronos."

"Not really. I mean... Wait! What? You've been watching me?"

"Oh, yes. Hephaestus set it up for us. We've been informed about the party and the campers' plan a long time ago, and Hephaestus made sure that we were able to see every single detail," he explained.

I felt my cheeks heat up and I know I was as red as a tomato. Just great. Tonight's show will probably be on the top of the Hephaestus-TV Most Funniest Videos. We already got on the list before with the footage from the Tunnel of Love.

"Ha-ha," I laughed along with my dad nervously. We talked for awhile about his palace being repaired and about the gods keeping their promise.

"Your notion is quite remarkable. So far, it's worked for the better. I suppose I should claim mine soon," he said, smiling and giving me one of his inside-joke winks. I laughed politely this time. The last time he made the same joke, I was terrified. But it seems he was really just joking. At least I hope he is.

"Speaking of relatives, your brother is here," he informed me.

"Tyson? Where is he?" I asked excitedly. I only get to see him when we visit the Empire State Building. The cyclopes were helping in repairing Olympus.

"He's somewhere here. But before you go look for him and your friends, I should warn you. Even though the war is over, it doesn't mean that you'll be living in peace. You should know that the life of a demigod is never simple."

I already know what he was talking about. I've been a demigod for sixteen years, and I've been aware of the existence of Western Civilization for five years. I understand what he meant, but for some reason, it felt like he was warning me about something that is soon to happen. But before I could ask him, he waved and walked away, leaving me by myself.

I looked around searching for my friends. I sighed as I saw Travis and Connor stealthily mixing something with the punch. Then I gasped when I saw Nico talking to a girl. And not just any girl. It was Rachel. I was surprised for many reasons. One, that Nico was able to talk to a girl. Two, that Rachel was here. Three, that they were actually getting along pretty well. I could say a few more, but enough with that.

I continued to look around. I shook my head as I saw Grover busily swallowing whole enchiladas one at a time as he nervously stalked the hunters. I can't believe he still had the guts to do that when he already had a girlfriend. And speaking of his girlfriend, Juniper finally caught him and pinched his ear. He dropped all his enchiladas as he yelped and tried to explain.

I started to walk around and finally saw who I was looking for. "Tyson!" I yelled. He was wearing something like a Frankenstein costume. At least that's who I think he's supposed to be.

"Percy!" he said gleefully as he lumbered towards me and gave me a hug. Even though I was invulnerable, it felt like a few of my ribs cracked.

"Can't... breathe..." I muttered.

"Sorry," he said, pulling away.

"How have you been, big guy?" I smiled. He told me about all the things they've been doing up in Olympus, and how it was so nice to be given all the peanut butter sandwiches he wanted.

"And look," he said as he pulled a barbecue stick out of his pocket.

"Um, what exactly is-" I started but then I gasped as the barbecue stick elongated into a long and sturdy staff. It was made of wood, but somehow it glowed like it was made of celestial bronze.

"They gave me this stick as gift." He explained that it was made of Narra and was dipped in melted celestial bronze.

"That's amazing. Anyway, I have to go. I'll see you around, 'kay?" He happily nodded and walked away. I wandered around and I somehow ended up facing a goddess I didn't want to speak to. And no, it's not Athena.

"Lady Aphrodite," I bowed.

"Oh, no need to be polite. After all, you are the hero who defeated Kronos. So, tell me, Percy. How is Annabeth?" she asked smiling widely.

"Uh, she's fine, I guess."

"Still confused are we? Oh, you kids are just so adorable! Ever since," she wiped a tear out of her eye as she started to sob, "I lost my daughter, I've lost focus on strengthening relationships."

She was crying now. Wow, a goddess can be so emotional. "Please, don't cry. I'm sure she's in Elysium. And I'm also sure Silena is happy with Beckendorf." I wondered how that got out of my mouth. I guess Aphrodite's presence is getting me a little bit sensitive.

"That son of Hephaestus and my daughter. Very tragic, indeed. But now that the war is over, I'm back!" she exclaimed suddenly changing from being sad and back to being happy. Plain weird. "And no worries. You and Annabeth won't end up like that. Oh, no. I'll make sure your love will be strong." She then stared into thin air dreamily and nodded rapidly like she was agreeing to whatever she was thinking.

"I'm so excited!" she squealed. "Until you get married and be under Hera's domain, I'll make sure your relationship won't be boring. Angst. Sorrow. Heartbreak. It will be the romance of the century!"

"You don't need to go all that trouble," I said nervously.

"Oh, but I do. What fun will it be if it's all kissy-kissy for the two of you, right?" she smiled mischievously.

"But-" I began, but she walked away.

"Ta-ta!" she waved goodbye. Great. Two Olympians just told me that I'm going to go through a lot more even though the war is finally over. I mentally sighed. Now wasn't the time to trouble myself with those thoughts. It's hard to feel bad on a great night, and this party was especially thrown for me. With the special attention of be pranked at.

I strolled around the pavilion, occasionally greeting a few of my friends, and being teased about the prank. I also happened to run into Chiron and Mr. D, who was so drunk, he didn't mind me laughing at him. Zeus was so busy entertaining others, Mr. D was able to sneakily drink a few glasses of wine. Chiron told me to move along before Mr. D would 'violently force' me to drink with him.

I looked around a little more, and I finally saw Annabeth happily conversing with Thalia. I smiled as Thalia was making hand gestures and Annabeth laughed. I didn't want to interrupt them, and everyone seemed very occupied with the party. I sneaked out of the mess hall and went to the beach where for once tonight, I can be in peace.

The view of the sea cleared all my thoughts, and I took in its stillness with me. The stars twinkled up in the sky and the calm surface of the sea sparkled with the reflection. I inhaled the heavy scent of sea salt in the air, and I slowly glided on the sand, occasionally kicking sand with my feet. The cool breeze was restless as a few gusts of wind greeted me in the cold night.

I flopped down on a lump of sand and stared peacefully at the sea. I was lost in another world where only bliss and calmness existed. I was so lost, I didn't notice someone approach me and cover my eyes with both hands. I've held those hands countless times, I knew to whom they belong.

"Very funny, Wise Girl," I said.

"How dare you accuse me of someone else," she said in a very stern voice, almost sounding like Athena. I turned around and I jerked backwards. She laughed as I took in her features. She somehow found her wig and had it on again. "Grover found them," she said as if reading my mind. "Here." She handed me back my trident.

"You know, with the wig on, you actually look like your mom."

"That's the point of the costume, Seaweed Brain," she said, rolling her eyes.

"Don't you think I know that," I smirked, mimicking her expression earlier.

"You know what, I actually don't."

"You don't know? Wow. That's something you don't see everyday."

"No," she frowned. "I meant I don't think you know."

"Ouch!" I said, resting my palm on my heart and acting hurt. She stuck her tongue out as she sat beside me.

"You're invulnerable at that spot. You can't get hurt."

"That doesn't mean I can't be hurt internally, or emotionally."

"Oh, being emotional are we?" she teased.

I shrugged. "Not really. I think it has something to do with me talking to Aphrodite."

"What did she talk to you about?"

"Oh, you know. Stuff. She just reminded me of a few things she told me the first time we met."

"Don't mind what she tells you. She just loves to mess around."

"Well, she is the Goddess of Love. She's so full of love, she needs to share it with anyone."

"Are you trying to say she's unfaithful?" she said, trying to hide a smile. She knew where I was going with this.

"Oh, no. She's very faithful," I snickered. "She' so faithful to her boyfriend, she ditched her husband." We burst in laughter.

"We've been looking everywhere for the two of you!" someone spoke up from behind us. We turned to see Nico, Rachel, and Thalia watching us from the top of the hill.

"Nico!" Rachel protested. "You're disturbing the lovebirds."

"Can't you see they're having a moment?" Thalia added, smirking.

"Lovebirds?" he asked in disgust. He then made gagging faces, but Thalia smacked him behind the head.

"Ow! What was that for?" Nico complained.

"For being an idiot!"

"You're one to talk! What do you even know about having a moment?" he teased. This ended up with Thalia grabbing his hair and dragging him down the hill. Rachel laughed as the two of them disappeared from our sight. She then turned back to us.

"You better get back. Everyone's been looking for you. The party is for the heroes of Olympus," she smiled and ran, following the other two. I stood up and reached my hand out for Annabeth, helping her up. She brushed the sand off her dress, and as she was doing this, I somehow ended up staring at her. She looked beautiful in the moonlight, even though she looked a lot like Athena at this moment because of the wig, but she was still the Annabeth I grew to appreciate. Her gray eyes twinkled in the dark, her soft lips pressed together into a sweet smile, her...

"Percy!" she said, snapping her fingers in front of me and taking me out of my trance.

"Uh, sorry," I said, subconsciously rubbing the back of my head.

"Come on," she smiled, taking my arm. We went back to the mess hall and the party went on for a few more hours. There was dancing, the awarding of the 'Best Costume', more dancing, a rerun of the footage of the prank that night, more dancing, Mr. D causing a few campers go mad, more dancing, Nico accidentally summoning skeletons and causing havoc, more dancing, Artemis turning the Stoll brothers into jackalopes, more dancing, and pretty much the whole night, all we did was, you guessed right, dance. We even did the Congo, and everyone participated.

It was a very fun night, except for the fact that I did wet my shorts. But that will be our little secret.


AN: Yey! Finally finished my first story that is not a one-shot. LOL.

Anyway, I know it's not really very possible for him to actually wet his pants, but I just really had to end it like that. You know, for a good ending. And sorry for those who I have scarred for life because of the PercyxLuke scence during the Thriller part. But I did warn you. So don't blame me.

And for those who have kept bugging me, I will update Percy Jackson and the Falling Stars. Maybe tomorrow, or the next day, or the next day. But the point is I will update! So no worries. I'm still loving my current position of watching you guys hang. LOL.

One last thing, someone PMed me about my stories, and I will at least answer you here in my AN so that others will understand as well. Yes, all my stories are connected. The time-line is post-TLO, and all the events are connected to one whole plot. That's why I keep mentioning that my stories are spin-offs or one-shots related to Percy Jackson and the Falling Stars. You may not need to read all my stories, but reading them will give you additional insights on the plot.

And, that's it! Wow, this is one looong AN. Cheers!
