please excuse any errors.

I owed you guys a spoiler so here it is; I was going to do something
before this part but that would give everything away and make you all
hate me and you will like this more anyway.

Piper stared at the wall that showed the beach where Percy
confrontated her about their status as a couple. The waves were slow
and barely touched the shore and the sky was that gloomy grey it gets
when it rains; there was no sunshine, no sparkle of the sea, no color
added to the world because there was nothing to be happy about. Piper
knew this and she didn't deny it; her bloodshot eyes, puffy tear-
stained pink cheeks showed this. She had refused food and water for a
few days because what was the point in living? She had already gone
through the pain and heartbreak of this and it was too much to go
through it again, especially when this was more painful because he was
so much closer and nicer and more perfect than anyone. She swallowed
back the sob that threatened to rip her throat until the pieces of her
broken heart could easily slip through.

The scene changed to inside the throne room where Percy had told her
he loved her, and where she finally broke her code never to fall in
love again and admitted it; the place they had come to save and did,
but losing something much more important than a fucking family feud.

Piper had never really hated someone before; she never hated Jason for
what he did, she was just hurt and angry because he led her on. She
didn't hate Drew, part of her felt bad for her becuase she would never
know what it was like to have true friends and what being nice means.
But then they were in the Throne Room, and suddenly, she hated the
gods for taking her chance of love and happiness away from her and not
caring too much afterwards even though he had saved them how-many-
times. She hated her mother for putting her through this when he just
ended up leaving. She hated Zeus and Poseidon for causing this whole
war and bringing her back to hell, only to find a bit of heaven, only
for it to turn bad.

Her throat was raw and it hurt to swallow, but when she screamed as
the wall changed to her guest room on Pluto where the walls were all
New York and was obviously still following Percy's last request, it
was raspy and it was filled with pain, causing some for her as well.

She turned away and buried her face in her pillow. Why had it been him
and not her? Why couldn't he leave that alone and continue with his
fight? Tears formed a pool in her pillow that Percy had once slept on.
Why did he have to be so damn heroic? It wasn't supposed to end like
this! They had plans for the future and he didn't hold up his end!

There was a knock at her door, but she ignored it; her commanders knew
not to bother her while she was grieving for they had found that out a
day in. She ignored them and yelled at them to go away. Besides, she
didn't want to see anyone unless it was Percy and that wasn't going to
happen.

The door opened, but she paid no mind and continued clutching the
sheets in her hands and sobbing into her pillow that smelled like
Percy. Gods, she missed him. She wished he was here with her; she
wishe they could leave this place together and never look back while
they started their new life on a differnt planet in a different galaxy
like she had always wanted.

Oh, Chaos, how she wished.

A hand touched her back softly and rubbed soothing circles. The bed
shifted with the weight of the person as they sat on the side of the
bed. "Pipes," they said softly and Piper was too sleep-deprived,
hungry, and dehydrated that she didn't recognize it. "Pipes, come on,
stop crying. I don't like it when you cry."

"No!" she cried. "He's gone!" Another sob ripped open her throat. It
hurt like hell, but it was nothing compared to the emotional pain she
felt. "Gone!"

"He's not gone," the person told her and their hand stopped at her
shoulder to lift her up the slightest. "I'm right here, Piper."

She sniffled and looked up at his face. Sea green eyes that sparkled.
Strong jaw, high cheekbones. Messy and shaggy black hair that fell
down to his eyebrows. A soft smile on soft lips. He looked exactly
like... "Percy?" she asked, moving to her side to look at him better.

His smile faltered and he reached out to brush away her tears. "No
more crying since I'm here, yeah? I'm not going anywhere anymore
unless it's with you."

She sat up and looked up at him in awe. "But...How? I saw
you...You...Hades said..."

"It was Chaos," he replied as he wiped away all the tears on her face.
"He brought me back because you need me."

She studied all the aspects of his face, he was warm and she could
feel it from his hand and his body. "Are you really here?" she
whimpered, tears welling up in her eyes again. "Am I just going crazy?
Are you just a dream?" She shook her head. "I couldn't handle that,
Percy, if you just left me again."

He grabbed her face in his strong hands and touched their foreheads.
"I'm never leaving you again, okay? I'm staying, and this time forever."

She grabbed desperately at the middle of his chest where there should
be the result of his heroicness only to find padded armor and cloth.
"You swear?" she asked and it hurt to talk.

"As long as you want me around, I will always be there." He tilted his
head to give her a lingering kiss and electricity sparked off of both
pairs of lips. Piper's eyes closed and she felt at peace and calm and
happy. He was here he was never going to leave her and everything was
alright. "I swear it on the Styx," he finished against her lips and
she laughed joyously, tackling him to the floor and his arms wrapped
around her waist.

He chuckled and kissed her again and again and again. "I love you," he
told her as she ran her fingers in his hair and felt her heart pick up
the pieces and put it back together precisely the way it was before;
her throat slowly grew back to normal and he was taking all the breath
out of her lungs, but that was okay because she was enveloped in his
warmth and tingly all over; her lips were on fire and she would
forever be happy if they stayed like that forever.

She laughed again, full of joy and relief. "I love you too," she told
him and she felt his grip tighten around her as they kissed another
time.

Maybe falling in love again wasn't such a bad idea after all.

Here we have it, a spoiler of when they get together. If you figure
out what happened before this and hate me...I hope this makes up for
it. This will be near the end, and of course, there will be more added
on because I couldn't just leave you hanging like that. So? What'da
think?

Love it? Hate it? Tell me about it(:
