A/N: Gah! I'm sorry but I'm keeping her name the way it is. Anyways, I'll try to make the chapters longer. Hope you enjoy, sorry if its OOC...

Perci was waiting for Anthony on the beach. Her toes in the water, gave her a calm feeling. She loved the water, but not as much as she loved Anthony. At least she thinks so. She and Anthony have started drifting apart lately with their different callings. Anthony was designing plenty of things on Olympus. But Perci had feelings of neglect. Like Anthony wasn't paying her much attention like before. It's all swell and dandy that Gaea is gone. But she wanted his attention more. They had arranged to meet on the beach, the same place where they had shared their first kiss. She waited until finally she heard footsteps coming closer. She turned to see him jogging up to meet her. She tackled him lightly to the ground.

"There you are wise boy, I thought you'd never show up." She looked down at him smile on her face. He smiled back but it didn't seem like he was giving it his all. "So what do you wanna do? I know you've been busy lately and I thought...well we could go out, maybe see a movie or something." She couldn't help blabbering on. She was just excited to spend some time with him. Anthony gently lifted her to the side and off his chest.

"Actually Perci, I don't think I can do that today. I mean I really have to work on making Hermes and Apollo have a built in snack bar installed into their thrones." Her face fell. She was less important compared to a built in snack bar? Okay she did have to admit that was pretty cool. But really the nerve of him. She looked away from him. He gently grabbed her forearms and pulled her towards his chest. Giving her a tight embrace.

"Forgot...didn't you...?" She asked her voice barely above a whisper.

"Forget what Perci?" He asked looking down at her, stroking her long black hair. "I don't think I forgot anything that important." She couldn't believe what she just heard. She broke out of his embrace and looked at him in the eye.

"Anthony...it's August 18..." Anthony still looked confused. "Anthony Albert Chase...It is my birthday. Gods damn it. It's the day you and I started dating...the very first kiss we had underwater..." By now tears were falling from her face. Her voice growing louder and louder. The tides were drawing nearer. "I thought...I thought we had something special?"

"Gods Perci we do, we do, its just work has me swamped and..."

"Work...that's all you talk about know. Work this work that. I see you constantly staring at the screen of the new laptop Daedalus gave you in your cabin. Did you know how I felt? Did you CARE? I FELT LIKE GARBAGE FLOATING DOWN THE STREAM. NEVER GETTING NOTICED, JUST A PIECE OF TRASH." She hadn't noticed but the sunny day had just turned dark, as storm clouds were forming, the wind was picking up speed and the water was becoming restless. She was forming a hurricane.

"Perci please you have to stop this!" Anthony yelled over the winds. "You're going to destroy the whole camp if you keep this up!" But his words fell to deaf ears as she didn't want to hear his words. He hugged her close, even if she was struggling to get out of his grasp. He held on tight, over and over again he whispered into her ear.

"I'm sorry, so very sorry." She cried louder and louder but the storm was starting to cease. The campers who had stayed behind for the year were hiding out at the mess hall as it was too far to reach their cabins. Piper, Jason and Leo saw the whole exchange behind a sand dune. Piper was mad, because Anthony should've had time for her. But a part of her was a little glad that she wasn't the reason why that had happened.

The ocean was unpredictable, full of churning emotions that don't want to be held back. "I c-can't do this..anymore," she replied, sobbing quietly into his shirt.

"Shhh, I know, I understand. I can't do this anymore either. That's why I wanted to talk with you." He wiped her tears away with his thumbs. "Please don't cry, I loved every second of being with you. Remember that, you're stronger than I ever will be and more," He replied looking at her face. He leant down and they kissed. It was a short sweet kiss filled with melancholy. But no regrets. Who knew that their relationship would end with a kiss, at the same place that started with one. They slowly pulled apart.

"I hope we can still be friends." Anthony said hopelessly looking down. She gave him a quick peck on the cheek and smiled. Yet she felt broken inside.

"Friends it is Wise Boy," she replied. He nodded and left the scene.
