The Funeral

Annabeth woke up to the smell of the salty air in the Poseidon cabin where Percy would never be in. Today's the day, she thought to herself grimly. It's been a week since Percy's death and the funeral was happening only today because everyone was available.

Well, almost everyone. Bob, Damasen and Small Bob were still in Tartarus because of them. Who knows if they are still alive or not? Annabeth had nightmares about Tartarus every time she slept but this was the first time she faced the full brunt of the trauma because there was no Percy to take solace in.

A lot of things took place in the week that Percy had died. For example, Annabeth could see Nico and Will together everywhere they went. How that worked out, she didn't know, but she was happy for the younger demigod.

At least one of them has moved on and is happy. Annabeth sighed and got out of bed. She brushed and showered and wore Percy's camp T-shirt which still smelled like the sea and Percy. She didn't know what she'd do when that scent finally fades.

But that's something to worry about another day, she thought, and walked out of the cabin to the dining pavilion for breakfast. She sat with her siblings and ate blue pancakes. All she seemed to eat was blue now.

She remembered scolding Percy for drowning his pancakes in syrup. "I'm a son of Poseidon. I can't drown and neither can my pancakes." She remembered him say and tears prickled her eyes.

No matter how much she thought she had cried enough, there were always more tears struggling to come out. The weather was calm and cheery, like it was mocking everyone's pain. The sea no longer rumbled along the shore. It just hit against the shore like it had when Percy was still alive.

"Annabeth," Grover ran towards her, panting, "There's a . . . Titan . . . a kitten or tiger . . . Dammit, you have to see this," he said pulling Annabeth away from her seat and towards the entrance of camp.

Sure enough, there were three figures which she recognised really well. There was a whole line of demigods surrounding them, holding up their weapons, "Annabeth give us the word," Clarisse said, spinning her sword in her hand.

"Don't you dare touch them," she said, happy tears streaming down her face as she cut through the crowd and hugged the Titan, a not so giant Giant and a tiger. "You guys made it back," She said. The tiger purred and licked her face.

The campers, both Greek and Roman stood stunned. "What in Hades is going on here?" Clarisse asked the first one to break out of her stupor. Annabeth didn't answer; she focused on Bob, Small Bob and Damasen.

"The Gods decided we weren't much of a danger I guess. Most of it was Poseidon," Damasen replied, "They even shrunk me down." "Wow, it would've been a lot easier if we could've shrunk the giants in the war," Annabeth replied.

"It's not that easy. The giant has to be willing," Damasen replied. Annabeth turned to the camp, "Guys, this is Bob, also known as Iapetus, Damasen and Small Bob. They helped Percy and me to get out of Tartarus by staying back," she said.

"You know, the nice weather was probably because of you. I knew Poseidon was up to something," Annabeth mused out loud. "Huh? What do you mean? And where's Percy?" Bob asked. "You came in time for his funeral," Annabeth replied, her voice small.

"How?" Bob asked. Annabeth just shook her head, the words stuck in her throat. "Where is he?" Damasen asked. Annabeth led them through the crowd to the pavilion where all the shrouds would be burned and showed them Percy's coffin.

Tears came out of the Titan's eyes while the giant tried to blink them back. Small Bob purred in distress, causing the ground beneath his feet to vibrate. All the campers took their place in the pavilion as the funeral began.

Each camper was praised and their intricate shrouds burnt. As their shrouds burned, the fallen warriors' body disintegrated into dust and flew into the sky. Percy's shroud finally came on the dais.

Grover made the first speech. "He was my best friend," he said tearfully. "When we were back in Yancy, he helped from getting bullied and always had my back," his voice broke, "I am grateful to have fought with such a loyal and inspiring person," he finished, wiped his eyes and stepped of stage.

Chiron spoke next, "Percy was the most valiant soldier I have ever trained. Even Hercules was nothing compared to him. Percy was loyal, faithful and fierce protector to everyone and he sacrificed his life for us. We will forever honor him. He may be dead, but he'll live on in our hearts," and the centaur trotted away.

"I never thought he was impressive. He was always this laidback boy who was more of a trouble maker, but in my time with him on the Argo II, made me realize how grossly I had underestimated him," Piper said and left way for the next person to come on stage, who was none other than Nico.

"He was my hero when we first met. I wanted to hate him when he couldn't save my sister but I didn't. Percy, as oblivious as he is, always meant well and looked after me whenever he was around me, or rather, I was around him. He will forever be my idol," Nico stepped down.

Leo let go of Calypso's hand and went up to the dais, "After meeting Calypso, I really wanted to hate Percy because he had left her stranded and never gave her a second thought, but he regretted it and offered me his help to find her.

"Percy Jackson is a man of his words and a really awesome friend and leader," Leo said. Coach Hedge gave a short tearful message on how he should've saved Percy, and kept slapping the back of his head.

Annabeth went up last. "When we first met, I didn't like him. He was an annoying demigod. But as we grew closer, I realized what a great person he was. He was the best boyfriend anyone could ask for. Even before we got together, he did a lot for me.

"He literally held up the world for me. He left a really beautiful girl for me and he gave up immortality for me. He fell into Tartarus because he didn't want us to lose each other again. Even Hera couldn't make him lose his memories of me.

"And I can't digest that my Seaweed Brain is—"

"Poseidon's Underpants, I guess I'm late for my funeral . . . again," A familiar voice rang out from the crowd. "Percy," Annabeth whispered as she saw him make his way through the demigods who were seated.

He still had that same raven hair, green eyes and that troublemaker smile. Annabeth turned to look at his coffin, his body as no longer lying there. "Oh Gods, Percy!" Annabeth yelled and ran into her boyfriend's arms, tears falling down her cheeks.

"Please tell me I'm not dreaming, please," She cried weakly. The campers around them were stunned and frozen. "I really hope it's not my dream, Wise Girl," Percy replied, holding Annabeth tighter in his arms.

"How in Hades are you alive? I saw you die, we all saw you die," Annabeth asked. "I don't know," Percy replied. Poseidon came barreling into camp out of nowhere and tackled Percy in a hug.

"Thank The Fates. You are alive again," Poseidon cried, holding his son close to him. "Dad, what did you do?" Percy asked. "I put on an ultimatum and demanded Zeus give you back to me," Poseidon replied.

"So that's why there were so many storms," Annabeth said and Poseidon nodded in her direction. "Why, Dad?" Percy asked, "You've never done this for any other demigod before," he said.

"Percy, you are my most precious son. I couldn't stand losing you," Poseidon replied. "What if a monster finishes the job the next time, Dad? You can't go on serving ultimatums to the gods," Percy said.

"This was different. It was due to the gods I couldn't save you. Zeus owed me and I made him pay me back," Poseidon replied. "Hmm, this means I have to pack my stuff back up, right?" Annabeth asked.

"I moved into your cabin because of the dreams and grief," Annabeth explained to Percy. "I'll be back my son. Now it's time to reunite with your friends," Poseidon said and disappeared into mist.

The stunned campers finally broke out of the stupor and came to hug their resurrected leader. Grover, Thalia, Nico and the rest of the seven got to him first and squeezed him. "Guys, I'm going to die all over again if you don't let me breathe," Percy said, grinning at his friends.

"Wow, this is like déjà vu. The last time I was late for my funeral was when I landed on Calypso's island. I hope Leo has found her. Gods know she needs a break," Percy said. After Annabeth had finished squealing about Percy's second chance inside her head, she hit him hard on his head.

"Hey what was that for?" he complained. "That was for leaving me. You promised me, as long as we were together," Annabeth said and before he could answer, kissed him. "That's for coming back alive," she said.

"Hello Percy Jackson," a melodious voice came from the cluster of demigods. "Calypso," Percy whispered, giving her a hug and then Leo a hug. "Congratulations man, you deserve your happy ending," he said,

"I'm sorry I couldn't be of any assistance." "Dude, you were dead. I don't blame you," Leo said coolly. Percy smiled at him and gave him a high five. Percy then spotted Nico and hugged the younger demigod.

"I'm glad to see you here Nico. A very small part of my mind was telling me you'd shadow travel back into the underworld or something," Percy said, "And I see you have a boyfriend now," he waggled his eyebrows suggestively.

"Shut up," Nico mumbled, "Will's just my friend." "Whatever you say, Nico," Annabeth said from next to Percy, "Just know that De Nile is not only a river in Africa," she smothered a chuckle.

Nico grumbled and gave Percy another hug, "I'm glad you're back, Percy," he said, and let two other demigods go past him. "Thank gods you're alright," Hazel said tearfully, hugging him. Percy patted her back.

"Don't cry. I'm alright. I meant when I said that you guys are going to be stuck with me for a long time. My dad made sure I made good on my promise," he told her. "I was so scared that I'd never see your face again." Hazel said and pulled away from Percy.

Frank gave him a hug. "Do you remember anything of the underworld? How was it?" he asked. "I don't remember anything actually," Percy replied, "Must be the gods' doing." "Oh who cares, you're back," Frank said and proceeded to suffocate Percy with his bear hugs.

Percy laughed and returned Frank's hug. "Brother, you're back," Tyson's voice carried to Percy's ears as his brother tackled him in a hug. "How did this happen?" he asked. Percy replied, "Dad."

Tyson laughed joyfully and resumed hugging his brother. "This is the first time I'm seeing him smile this whole week," Annabeth said. Percy just hugged his brother tighter. "Stay here. I have to find Mrs. O'Leary and Ella," Tyson said and ran off.

Sally was the next one to suffocate Percy. "Don't you ever do that to me again or else I'll skin you alive," Sally said. "Death threats after coming back alive? Not cool, mom," He said with good humor, hugging her back.

Sally cried into Percy's shirt. "I thought you were gone forever. I was worried that I—I'd never see your face again or bake blue cookies for you or hug or, or," Sally trailed off. "It's ok, mom. I'm here now and I love you," Percy said.

Paul gave him a one arm hug, "Glad you're back, Percy. I didn't know what to do with two dangerous and grief stricken females in my hands," he joked. "Don't worry, Paul, I can take care of my girls now," Percy said, hugging both Sally and Annabeth. Sally laughed at their antics and gave Paul a chaste kiss.

A huge horse came out of the sky, galloping and nudging the campers to make way for him. "Blackjack," Percy smiled, petting his horse. Blackjack gave him a wet lick. A tear rolled down his eyes.

"You're a tough horse, Blackjack. Don't cry," Percy said, hugging his horse. Blackjack nuzzled his neck, I missed you loads, boss, he said, your cabin is pristine a perfect. Didn't set a hoof in there.

Percy shook his head and then noticed Blackjack's state. The pegasus was disheveled and messy. "Hey just because I died, no one took care of my pegasus?" Percy asked angrily. "He didn't allow us near him. I tried charmspeaking him but that lasted for about ten minutes and resulted in a knocked out Jason," Piper replied.

"Dude, what's it with you and getting knocked out?" Percy asked, chuckling. "Hey, it's the thought that counts. Your horse went all Hulk on us whenever we tried to go near him. Only Annabeth was allowed near him and she only got out of your cabin, so that she could feed him and talk about you. He even kicked Chiron away." Jason replied.

Percy laughed and was suffocated by someone else. "Clarisse?" He sounded surprised. "I'll deny this ever happened, but I'm glad you're back, Prissy," she said and walked away. "Percy, my boy! Thank Hades, he let you out," Chiron said, bending down to hug the young demigod.

Percy hugged him back and smiled. "Guess I was missed over here," he said. "Dude, the campfire was black for the entire week," Jason said. "Wow, really?" he asked. "Yup. Even Hestia didn't tend to the flames. She just sat there, her arms around her knees and looked at them."

"Well, I'm back now and going to be with you for a long time," Percy said. "Do I have to move out?" Annabeth asked Chiron. "You have to my dear," Chiron replied. "Oh, come on, Chiron, please," Percy said pouting and showing him those sad baby seal eyes,

"We'll be plagued with nightmares." Chiron sighed, giving in to those sad sad eyes, "Only if you promise not to do any freaky stuff," he replied. Percy hugged Chiron, "Thanks, Chiron," he said, and then he fainted.

Jason caught him before he could hit the ground. "Shit! What's wrong?" he asked. Poseidon appeared again and took Percy into his arms for a minute and gave him to Annabeth. "Zeus and Hades didn't g back on their words. Getting back from the dead exhausted him. He'll be fine if he sleeps for a couple of hours. Take him to his cabin, Annabeth, he'll be fine."

Annabeth nodded at Poseidon and Jason and her dragged an unconscious Percy back to his cabin as Poseidon disappeared yet again. Annabeth smiled to herself. Her Seaweed Brain was back and isn't going anywhere.

ALRIGHT, SO THAT'S IT. HOPE YOUR NOT DISSAPPOINTED. AND FOR THOSE WHO THOUGHT PERCY WOULD STAY DEAD, I HAVE 4 WORDS FOR YOU. HE'S PERCY FRICKIN JACKSON. AND THERE'S NO WAY I WOULD KILL OF MY OTP PERCABETH. MAYBE IT SHOULD BE TTP CAUSE PERCABETH AND SOLANGELO ARE MY TWO TRUE PAIRINGS :)
