Months After

Oh, sleep was amazing for once. I didn't have a crazy demigod dream. No, just a regular mortal-like dream. It was me and Annabeth, at Chuck-E-Cheeses, a little toddler running around next to us. She had Green eyes and blonde hair, and she was pretty annoying. Annabeth seemed to like it, and Grover came and picked her up, walking away. "See you guys later. She's coming to play with me!"
Nico was walking around with a little kid holding his hand, and he looked just like Nico. Then, Reyna came up to him... and kissed him. Um... What?
Thalia was making out with Luke, and Jason was running around giving Piper a piggy back ride. Ah, young love.
Calypso and... Calypso? What was she doing there? Anyway, Calypso and Leo were holding hands, walking with a little girl, only about 3 or 4.
Then, We all gathered around a giant mouse and a birthday cake, and started singing.
The little girl was smiling the whole time, and blew out the candles.

That was one weird dream.

I woke up on the floor, with Annabeth looking down at me, laughing.
"Are you OK, Seaweed brain?' She asked, offering me a hand. I got up, and rubbed my head.
"I've woken up better."
After breakfast, Annabeth and I went to the mall to get Piper a birthday present.

"Look, i'm telling you! She'll love us if we get her makeup!" I said, catching up to Annabeth.
She rolled her eyes and kept walking around the mall. It took us about fifteen minutes to find a present for Piper that was in a store... that we had been to four times already.
"it's perfect!" She said, looking into a glass case with assorted necklaces and rings. "Isn't it just what Piper needs?' She was pointing to a necklace that had a few jewels or whatever in it (I'm not good with jewelry).
"Yeah! It would be... If it wasn't a hundred bucks." With that, she shot up.
She gave me puppy dog eyes, and I couldn't resist. "I'll split it; I'll pay seventy five, you pay twenty five. OK?"
She shot up and gave me a kiss. "Thanks Percy! I love you!" Ugh. I can't stand women.

It took me four weeks to get that money, but it was for Piper, who was turning 16.
She hosted legendary birthday parties (They really were. I had an agreement with her that there would always be a blue cake).

"Hey, Annabeth," I said while driving to Piper's house with Leo in the back seat.
"Yeah Percy?' She said, not looking up from her book.
"Last night... I had a dream. We were at Chuck-E-Cheeses, and it was a little girls birthday party. Everyone was older- Nico had a kid... With Reyna... and-" Annabeth shot up from her book, and it almost made me swerve off the road.
"What?!" She looked at me like there was a spider on my forehead.
"Yeah, Reyna and Nico. And Leo was with Calypso, and they had a little girl, and-" I got cut off from Leo.
"What?!" He said, grabbing my shoulder.
I Had to pull over to explain the rest of the story.

After I explained it (Purposely leaving out Luke; She didn't need to be reminded of him), Leo was sitting in the back, thinking deeply, and Annabeth motioned me to keep driving.

She smiled. "Wow."
