Chapter 14

I had led Annabeth through the halls of the F.B.I. headquarters, knowing exactly where I was going. After finding a door off to the side and opening it, revealing a hidden staircase, we climbed up it until we reached another door at the top. I pushed it open and Annabeth gasped softly behind me. The door led out onto the roof, where the stars shone down on us from the navy blue sky.

"This is really nice, Percy," Annabeth said as she walked to the edge of the roof and looked down at the lights of New York City flashing by. "Do you come here often?"

"Yeah, sometimes," I replied. "Although it's kind of lonely when I do."

Annabeth gave me a small smile, then turned back to watch the scenery. "Well," she said after a while. "It's just me and you again."

"And not in immediate danger, luckily," I replied.

She chuckled. "Though, you had to admit, Percy, we had fun."

"Getting kidnapped and tortured was fun?"

"Well, not that part, but we won, didn't we?"

"You really like this job."

Annabeth sighed and looked at her feet. "Like I told you at the ball… people expect me to be a real diva, but I'm not like that." Then she turned to me, a smile spreading across her face. "But, thanks to your father, I can now show them that!"

I was glad that Annabeth was so happy. We would have fun together…

"Look, Annabeth," I began, deciding this was the time. "During our mission, I… I realized something."

"And what was that?" She had a certain tone to her voice, as if she knew what was coming next.

"You're the only person that I've truly cared for since my mother's death. I mean, there's my father now, but I've only just discovered that he existed. Having you along my mission made it a lot better, because you did some things that I didn't think anyone else would do for me… And when Gabe Ugliano kidnapped us, I could only think about your safety. You've come to matter a lot to me, Annabeth, because you truly showed me what it meant to be in love again."

Annabeth stared at me, but she didn't look angry. Her gray eyes sparkled the way they did when she had been laughing in the room in front of Gabe Ugliano's cell. Framed against the moonlight, which reflected off of her blonde hair, made her look absolutely beautiful.

"Oh, Percy…" she whispered. "There are so many things I want to say to you in agreement right now, but I'm going to sum it up all in one word: I love you, too."

I laughed and pulled her into my arms. "You can tell me all of those things later."

"And right now?" she asked.

"This." And I kissed her.

So that was the story of me, Percy Jackson, a secret F.B.I. agent who had been through a crazy adventure but had luckily found love with a girl named Annabeth Chase (they could write a book about us, couldn't they?). Now we were going to work for the F.B.I. together, because my girlfriend had some awesome skills that she could finally display.

Also, my father told me that I would be living with him, and that he would show me his house in about a week (he wanted to spice it up a bit before I came to stay). I was happy about that; I would finally have a family again… a real one that I loved.

So, I guess this goes to show that even the most normal life can go completely wacky, but can end well again. I know, however, that I still have many adventures yet to come… with Annabeth, of course… and I have to say that I am pretty excited.

THE END

I hope you guys enjoyed reading that, because I sure enjoyed writing it. Percy and Annabeth really are the best! (And Leo, of course) XD.

I want to thank all my followers and reviewers for their support… it really made writing this fanfic better. I hope you continue to read my stuff!

Whether there will be a second "Undercover Love" I'm not sure at the moment, but my next fanfic is hopefully going to be a Harry Potter and Once Upon a Time crossover, so tune in for that.

Once again, thank you, and always, happy reading!
