Chapter 12:

"Okay, can I have everyone's attention?" Leo asked once they were all aboard the ship.

Six pairs of eyes turned to him.

"Okay so I made a schedule for our shifts. Each shift is 3 hours long." Leo explained, "Okay so the shifts start at 12 a.m. The first shift will be Jason and Piper, and then the next will be….Hazel and Fred?" Leo asked not sure if those were their names.

"Frank." Frank corrected him.

Leo nodded, "Sorry. Then the next shift will be Percy and Annabeth. My shifts will be every other hour, seeing that I don't have anyone to be paired with."

Everyone nodded.

"Okay then. Welcome aboard my ship!"

The ship swayed back and forth on the waves.

Percy watched as California disappeared behind them.

"Percy?" Annabeth walked up behind him.

He looked at her and smiled, "Yeah?"

"Want me to show you the cabins?"

Percy nodded, "Sure."

Annabeth smiled and led him below decks.

She led him to the first cabin on the right, their cabin.

Percy closed the door behind them.

"Nice place." Percy said looking around.

"Yeah." Annabeth agreed.

"Whose cabin is it?" He asked.

Annabeth blushed, "Um…it's ours."

Percy was confused, "As in we are sharing it?"

"Yes, Seaweed Brain." Annabeth told him.

The corners of Percy's mouth lifted into a smile, "What's that?"

He pointed at a picture on the wall.

Annabeth looked at the ground and then back at Percy, "I missed you."

Percy walked over to the wall and got a closer look. It was Annabeth holding the picture of them kissing underwater and sleeping in his bed.

Percy smiled and looked at Annabeth who was staring at her feet.

He walked over to her and put one finger under her chin and lifted her head up so she would look at him.

"I missed you too." Percy wrapped his arms around her waist and gave her a long kiss.

Annabeth wrapped her arms around Percy's neck loosely and smiled through the kiss.

After what felt like ages later, Percy pulled away.

Annabeth sighed happily, "I've been waiting eight months for that."

Percy smiled, "The whole time I was gone, all I could think about was you. You were the only thing I could remember."

Annabeth looked him in the eyes, "Really? What about Hera? Didn't she steal all of your memories"

"Even Hera couldn't make me forget you."

Annabeth's mouth spread into a wide grin and she rested her head on his shoulder.

This isn't going to last you know. The voice inside her head told her. You will have to abandon him and follow the Mark of Athena.

No! Annabeth told the voice in her head.

She had to live in the moment and right now she didn't want to ruin it.

"Wow." Jason said absorbing everything that Hazel had just told him.

She told him about her secret, about the War Games where Frank led them to victory, about their quest, and about the war at camp that had just happened the previous day.

Hazel nodded.

"Frank, you seem like a really good addition to the Fifth Cohort." Jason told him.

Frank smiled, "Thanks."

"And that about sums up everything important that happened when you were gone." Hazel told Jason.

Jason nodded, "I guess it's my turn to tell you what has been happening lately."

"Yes, yes it is. Now spill the beans." Hazel said smiling.

Piper smiled and waited for Jason to start to the story.

"It all started on a bus…."

Night fell sooner than they thought it would and everyone sat together eating dinner.

They talked about all of the stuff that had happened in the last few months.

"So, Percy, how does it feel to be praetor?" Jason asked.

Percy sighed, "I really didn't want to be a praetor. I guess it's okay, but you can have the praetor job back. I don't really need it."

Jason smiled, "Thanks."

They continued to eat and talk and all seemed okay until Leo noticed something headed towards them.

"Guys…. We've got company." Leo said causing everyone to stand up, "Do you think it likes tofu tacos?" Leo asked.

The creature got closer to the boat and like any other normal people would, they all screamed.

HAHAHA cliffhanger! Sorry guys I had to do it. Anyways I hope you liked this chappie! I got a little more mushy with Percabeth...aww ;)

Anyways I am writing a sequel to this story and once this fanfiction is over you can go and read that one!

I really hope you guys are enjoying this as much as I am and judging by the reviews, I think you are :))

And sorry about that review from me that says 'i love you' that was my friend reviewing my story while he was on my account lol.

I have another question for you: Do you think that Rick Riordan is going to kill off any characters in the books? I say that he shouldn't but if he did I would want him to kill off Percy and then bring him back. That way I can cry reading it and then get all excited that hes alive..lmaoo..kk till next time!

BYEEEEEEE! 3
