Annabeth
III

Annabeth followed Piper and Leo off the boat, walking straight onto the dry grass in the middle of a field they'd landed in.  At first it was hard to ignore the 200 or so Roman soldiers stood straight in front of them. Quite a few of them seemed to be in mild shock, first a great big Greek warship lands right in their back garden, then Jason their lost hero comes strutting out telling them they've got to be nice to a bunch of Greek demigods, then a bunch of Greek demigods walk of their ship completely unarmed and wanting to be best friends.

ADHD getting the better of her, she noted the large, marble buildings in the backdrop, which they had cleverly nestled in the heart of the Berkeley hills. She also noticed how much bigger it was than then camp half-blood, with two different sets of buildings set a little way apart from each other.

A little further away from the bulk of the Roman legion, Jason was surrounded by separate  group of people, which Annabeth hoped was a good sign. Jason, noticing that they were all looking behind him glanced over his shoulder and smiled at the trio, ushering them over. Leo and Piper nervously made their way forwards to introduce themselves but, no matter how hard she tried, Annabeth couldn't move. Right in front of her was Perseus Jackson. Right there. After weeks and months of searching he was just...there. The lost hero. The son of Poseidon. The saviour of Olympus and most importantly her best friend.

Everyone else seemed to fade from view, her eyes simply concentrating in on his face and his black hair, which danced about in the wind. A smile curved onto her lips as his began to move, calling out her name. He remembered her, he knew who she was, relief washed over like waves on the shore.

In the next second, before she could think anything else,  he was running towards her, purple cloak billowing in the wind behind him, face shinning brighter than the sun in the sky. It felt like Kronos was at work, freezing time, making the approach slower than it should be. Once he did, eventually,  reach her he didn't stop. His strong arms using the momentum to lift Annabeth up into the air and swing her around, leaving her loose hair to flow behind in a long golden trail. Sliding her back down to the ground Annabeth placed her hands on his chest lightly, as his arms pulled her close.

"Hey there."

"Hey."

"Long time no see."

"Yeah well I've been busy, what about you?" Annabeth asked. Percy thought for a few seconds.

"I got lost." He shrugged, leaning down and putting his lips gently onto hers. Eyes closed Annabeth clung to the material of his top as a few silent tears began to leak through her eyelashes, rolling down her cheek and then dripping onto her shirt. 8 months was a long time to be away from somebody. When he'd first gone missing Annabeth was in a state, it was just what she needed after having only just lost Luke. Thalia was never around anymore and Grover was always busy with the council. Percy was the only thing she'd had left and even he'd been taken away. When they had figured out that there must be a Roman camp and that's where Percy must be. She'd felt happier than she had since he turned down immortality to be with her. Slowly they pull apart. Percy lifted her face up steadily with his thumb; so she had no choice but to look into his sea-green eyes.

"Am I really THAT bad at kissing?" He asked grinning like an idiot. Annabeth laughed away the tears as he whipped the water from her cheeks with the back of his hand.

"I've had worse." She told him grinning.

"Oh I see how it is, I'm gone a few months..." Annabeth rolled her eyes and pulled him close again.

"I'm glad you're not dead seaweed brain." She told him. "I don't know what I'd have done..."

"I'm glad I'm not dead to." He told her. Leaning his forehead down against hers. Over his shoulder she caught sight of the other Demigods; who had seemed invisible only a few seconds ago. All of them had their eyes glued to the reunited couple like it was the last ever episode of their favourite TV show.

"I think we'd better get going, we don't have a lot of time left, what with the delay and everything. Plus there's still a couple of people you need to meet." Percy wrapped his arm around her shoulder as they slowly made their way over to the group.

"I think you're really gonna like my new family." He told Annabeth.

"What's wrong with your old family?"

"They lack...pizzazz."

"Pizzazz?" She questioned raising an eyebrow.

"Yep."

"You know..." She said tilting her head. "I think I'm the one with the amnesia, I'd almost completely forgotten how much of a seaweed brain you really are." He gave her a friendly shuv on the shoulder as they joined the circle of Roman and Greek demigods.
