Annabeth POV:

Every second felt like an hour. Percy was almost within reach but too far to grasp. The agony was eating Annabeth alive. For the past eight months she would look at couples in envy. Take Piper and Jason for instance. They may not be officially together but they make some pretty big sparks. At least they had each other. The hardest thing about losing Percy was that she had no one to give her their jacket on the cold winter nights. No one's shoulder to fall asleep on during campfires. No one to embrace after a near death experience. He was never there. Annabeth prayed to the gods that Percy will remember her. If he didn't, she wouldn't know what to do.

"Arrival in one minute!" Leo hollowed for the balcony on the ship. Slowly the ship started to descend to the ground. Once the ship landed Annabeth jump off like there was no tomorrow. She shoved through the crowd of purple shirt kids until she saw the gleaming white smile, and those seaweed green eyes.

"Percy!" Annabeth ran a top speed to him. He grasped her hips once she was in reach. "Seaweed brain! You had me worried sick! How could you just leave? Who are these people? Why are-"Out of nowhere he kissed her.

"Does that make up for everything I missed?" he asked in his deep calm voice.

"No", she put her head on his hard shoulder, "I love you, Percy." A tear ran down her face. He remembers her. She never felt so relieved in her life. His warmth was so soothing. She needed someone to hold right now. Too much has happened. But the important thing is they were together now.

Percy looked into Annabeth's eyes and said, "I forgot how beautiful your eyes were." He stroked his hand through silky blonde hair. "You'll always be my 'Wise Girl'." Percy realized that everyone was staring at them. "Everyone, this is Annabeth. She's my girlfriend. Daughter of Athena." He didn't notice anyone else until Annabeth took him over to introduce him to the others.

"Percy, this is Piper McLean, daughter of-"Annabeth said until cut off by someone in the crowd.

"McLean! Like Tristan Mclean; the movie star?" A girl from the third cohort screamed. The group of preppy girls surrounding her squealed with excitement. Piper looked down. Leo patted her shoulder. Her dad was a touchy subject to her.

"Daughter of Aphrodite; goddess of love and beauty." Percy and Piper made eye contact. She was strikingly beautiful; he smiled and gave her a friendly nod. "This is Leo Valdez, son of heptheus." Leo gave a big smile, then stuck his tongue out.

"Repair Boy, right?" Percy asked Leo. Piper let out a playful snicker. Leo shot Percy a dirty look then a nod.

"Where's Jason?" Annabeth asked Piper and Leo. They shrugged. Before Annabeth went looking for him he jumped off the boat. Reyna gave a loud shriek and hugged Jason. Piper obviously wasn't too happy to see Jason had a lady friend at camp. Annabeth gave Piper a sympathetic look. She knows what it feels like to be let down.

"Hey, Reyna." Jason gave her his cute half mouth smile. All of a sudden he grabbed Piper's hand and pulled her towards him. Piper felt her face turn as red as an apple. "Have you two met?" Jason asked them. There was an awkward silence. Obviously he had feelings for one of them, but which one would it be.

"Jason…can we talk?" Piper politely asked. He nodded and they shifted away from the crowd. "Is she your…um…girlfriend?" Jason gave her a confused look. His memory wasn't fully back yet. He did know he has deep feelings for Piper, but he also knew Reyna has deep feelings for him.

"No. Piper, I need to tell you something. Ever since we met on that bus, I had a huge crush on you. And know that I'm here I may as well just get it out. Do you wan-"

"Hey. Sorry to interrupt but we are having a council meeting in a minute." Percy said. Jason gave a desperate look at Piper. She walked away with Percy towards the meeting.

"Damn!" Jason yelled. He kicked the dirt, and followed Piper and Percy to the meeting.
