AN: Thank you guys for reviewing. I am taking allen r's suggestion now so yay! It was a great idea btw! Also, I don't own Percy Jackson or any of the other charatcers…I'm just a lowly fangirl.

Chapter 2

Percy

Nico looked at me and it brought me back to the start of the Battle of Manhattan…Beckendorf.

"Hey could we maybe bring back Beckendorf too? I asked.

"Yeah. Oh my gods. I always wanted to meet him. I mean everyone always raves about him. Sweet!" Leo exclaimed.

"Ummm…sure. I think so," Nico muttered. He flexed his wrists and stretched. "They should be fairly easy. I saw both of them the last time I was in the Underworld. And I mean we are just summoning spirits…"

Nico looked at me and I brushed him off. He handed Leo a list of supplies and he was off. Piper smiled a proud smile. I mean this was all her idea. That's when the guilt settled in. I had let Beckendorf die. Did he resent me for that? I was really nervous about talking to them now. I was just jittery I guess. I mean we were all eventually going to design the ring for my Annabeth. And then we could be getting married.

Leo came back with some shopping bags. He set them down and Nico immediately dived in them and pulled out the contents. There was a bag of chips, a bottle of soda, some chalk, one of those huge storage plastic buckets, and a box of matches. He opened the bag of chips and the soda and poured them in the bucket tote thing. Why do they call those thing totes? They aren't bags. Anyways, he then muttered something then the chalk box lit up. He drew a circle and as I watched him draw it, I felt helpless.

"You need a hand?" I asked.

"No. It's fine. I can do it on my own," he grumbled.

He shoots me a glare and I scurry back to Leo and Piper. After drawing a circle around the bucket, He lit the concoction on fire. Leo went over to him and kept the plastic from melting. AN: Just so you know, I completely made up this ritual. Then Nico twisted his scull ring and began to chant.

"Oh Father, Let us be in association with two spirits. Let us commune with the dead. I summon Silena Beauregard and Charles Beckendorf."

The concoction began to bubble and as the bubbles began to grow, two reasonably large ones formed and eventually grew up. They popped and the ghosts of Silena and Beckendorf appeared. Silena looked so much better than when she died. She had joy back in her face. And Beckendorf looked so peaceful too. Not like he was on our mission.

"Sup Percy."

"Puhlease tell me it finally happened," Silena stated.

"Yes. Me and Annabeth have been dating for over a year now," I said. "That's why you're here.

"We need your help designing an engagement ring! I'm Piper by the way. And I'm your half-sister."

"Oh my gods! Oh my gods!" Silena exclaimed. She and Beckendorf smiled at me.

"I know right!" Piper agreed.

Silena and Beckendorf floated behind us to the drawing table.

"So, what are you thinking Percy?" Beckendorf asked.

"Um, I'm not sure. I mean I want something that is us. Maybe incorporate a pearl or something silver," I said.

"Ohhhhh. Totally," Piper and Silena squealed.

"Why don't we engrave it," Beckendorf suggested.

"I like it," Leo stated.

He started skecting and kept looking back at Beckendorf for approval. He just smiled and nodded. I kept going back to the guilt from the Titan War and I pulled Beckendorf aside.

"Percy, I know what you're going to say. It's okay. I have Silena with me. I am content for eternity."

"Thank you and I'm sorry I couldn't save you," I said.

"It's alright Perce," He replied.

We rejoined the group and the design is looking great. The final design was a like an "S" with a small diamond in the middle and where it curled, one was a pearl and the other was a silver stone. In the actual band, I had "Always together" engraved. I really liked the final design.
