Me and thalia get to her cabin. I stop in front of the door. " luke. Are you okay. " thalia asks.

" yeah . Its just. When we first lost you I used to come and sit in here. I would think about what would have happened if I had gotten you in to camp. And by the time you came back. I was well kronos. " I said.

" well that's not you. It was kronos. You know that . Now coming or not. " she said. We went into the cabin . We spent the rest of the night talking about the last few years. It was almost three when we finished. But we still weren't tired. So we went for a walk. We were at the lake when I said," hey. Did you notice that Jason wasn't in your cabin. " we laugh. " did you hear him, piper and Aphrodite. "

I take of my shirt and say," going for a dip. Coming. " we run into the freezing lake. We swim out to a big rock and sit on it . Its perfect. We spent the night cuddling. Then we watched the sun rise. I saw Apollo go by. " I think we should head back. People will be getting up. Chiron wants to have a party for the nine and you. " I say.

" and you. i heard him. its for your return. " thalia says. we swim to the shore. percy and annabeth are waiting for us. " hey guys. " i say. annabeth is shaking her head and taping her foot. " what. " i say.

" I can't stay with Percy for a while but you two can spend the whole night out here. " she said.

" we weren't out here all night. We just woke up an hour ago. We decided to go for a swim. Besides who knows what you and kelp head would have done. Me and Luke are responsible." thalia said.

" first of all. Yes you were out here all night. I say you decided to go for a walk around three . Then for a swim. Second, you guys are freaking me out. I knew you were like a family but I didn't think this much. Luke is the dad. Thalia switches between the mom and older sister. And Annie is the teenager. " Percy says.

we all laugh. Then I say," how did you know what happened. " " I'm the son of the sea god. I can tell when someone is going for a swim. And i saw you. Annabeth came back to my cabin around midnight. She left at three ish. " he said. Annabeth elbows him in the stomach and says," you weren't supposed to say that part. "

" annabeth chase. Naughty naughty naughty. How many times have I told you no sneaking out. This one time we spent a summer on this beach. She saw this boy and she had a crush on him. So one night she snuck out and met him. It was adorable. Luckily the kids mom didn't really care. She thought it was sweet. " I said. " oh and Annie your grounded. "

" wait . How old was annabeth. Was she seven." Percy said. We all shook our heads yes. " so it was like nine years ago. Oh my gods. "

" what. Percy what's so funny. " annabeth said.

" about nine years ago. Me and my mom spent the summer at a beach. I don't remember the whole trip. But I do remember a little blonde headed, very bossy and a know it all. Well anyway I had a crush on her. My mom said one night we snuck out. The girl didn't have parents but she was with her older sister and brother. " we all laughed.

" oohhh so sweet. You two have been a thing for like ten years. " thalia said.

" well then I guess Percy. You owe my a ring. " Annie said. She and Percy laughed. They hugged. " come on . Lets go party." annabeth said. They started to walk towards the dining pavilion.

" what. Wait . What do you mean he owes you a ring. Annabeth. " I shouted after them. Thalia grabs my hand and says,"you don't know. Yeah that little kid . Yeah he proposed to Annie. So I guess there engaged. " I didn't say a thing. We laughed. We walked to the dining pavilion. When we got there the nine were outside. Chiron was with them. " oh good. I want all of you to walk in together. " he said. .
