The turn out was huge. Hundreds of people gathered. Most would expect it to be for something exciting but that theory vanished once it is noticed everyone is dressed in black and tears cover many faces. Olympus is practically silent accept for the awkward hellos and the sound of shuffling feet.

A hero had died. A hero who was popular at both camps. It was only fitting his funeral was held on Olympus.

No one was even exactly sure what had happened. Or they didn't want to believe it. One moment he and his friends were out getting some pizza. The next they were walking up the hill to camp when they had been attacked. He had been flung back by a hell hound and out of sight. They fought off the monsters before finding him. He had landed on a rock. Hitting his head. Blood pooled around him, his eyes wide open in shock.

Know one could believe it, Perseus Jackson had died.

Reyna watched as person after person went up to say something about the hero. It went on and on but no one complained. She watched as the shroud went up in flames. Loud sobbing coming from his mother as she burrows her face in her mortal husband's neck.

Once the shroud had been burned food was served and people talked. Reyna began to silently slip away from the others in search of her secret girlfriend.

Annabeth fled the 'party'. She couldn't see it as party. She saw it as everyone pretending to be over a death when they aren't. She ran down the streets she had designed. She ran until finally slowing and siting on a bench.

She told herself she had been fleeing the party cause it was a party, when that was only part of it. She had been fleeing Reyna. The girl she knew she loved. Though she hadn't yet told the other girl.

The reason was Percy. She had never told Percy about her secret relationship, but was going to. During college in New Rome she grew closer and closer to the daughter of Bellona. She soon began to drift away from Percy. But she just couldn't leave him. She couldn't break his heart. He had done so much for her and she couldn't hurt him. So she went behind his back.

Now she can't face Reyna. Feeling it would be an insult to the son of Poseidon's memory.

Soon she could her footsteps and she had a guess of who it was. She didn't look up but spoke softly.

"Go away Reyna."

"I'm not Reyna," a voice says.

"Though she is looking for you," announces another. Annabeth slowly looks up to face three people. Piper, Nico and his boyfriend Will.

"You should go find her," Piper says taking a seat next to her. Will sits on her other side while Nico stands. None of them giving her an oppurtinuty to leave.

"Why?"

"Because the two of you love each other." Annabeth opens her mouth to deny but is cut off.

"I'm the daughter of Aphrodite. I know things."

"Why won't you talk to her?" Will asks.

"I went behind Percy's back. I never told him I was afraid of hurting him. Now that he's gone... I just..." She trails off as her voice fails her. She looks back down at ground.

"You didn't hurt him," Nico says quietly. Annabeth slowly meets the dark eyes of the pale younger boy. "Yes, he was upset at first. But Will and I dragged him to Piper to see if he was being melodramatic. Or if his suspicions were true."

"I felt bad about lying so I told them the truth. I could tell you like Reyna and I told them," Piper says.

"How did he know before you talked?" Annabeth asks in a small voice.

"He heard her saying she loved you one day," Nico answers.

Silent tears fall down the blonde girls face. Piper quickly wipes them away.

"He was okay with it," She says.

"W-w-what?" Annabeth stutters.

"He just wanted you to be happy. No matter who you were with. He was just waiting for you to tell him when you were ready," Will says.

"No. But. But..."

"Would you like to hear it from Percy?" Nico suggests. His eyes flicker to his boyfriend. Will doesn't protest but he gives Nico a look as if saying: Only this one time.

The four demigods hold random pieces of food in their hands. They are in a more seculded part of Olympus.

"Well it's no happy meal but it will have to work," Nico says. He takes a step forward and begins to chant. He twists his ring transforming it into his Stygian Iron sword. He drives into the ground and a crack forms. His companions throw in the food. He continues to chant and a whisp of light flows out of the crack and takes a form. The form becomes clear. Percy Jackson with a confused look on his face.

Once his eyes land on his friends he gives a small smile and waves.

"Uh, hi?" He says uncertainly.

"Once a Kelp Head always a Kelp Head. Even when your dead," Nico says shaking his head a small but sad smile on his face.

"Missed you too Death Breath," the ghost boy answers with an eye roll. A question comes to him as he looks at the small group assembled. "Why are you all wearing black. Well I get Nico. But the rest of you?"

"It's your funeral," Annabeth says softly.

"Oh."

"We summoned you because she didn't believe us about the Reyna situation," Piper says. Much to Annabeth's surprise, Percy nods in understanding. He turns to Annabeth a smile on his face.

"I certainly miss you Wise Girl but you should be happy."

"How are you okay with this!?" Annabeth shouts suddenly. "I cheated on you!" Percy sighs.

"I wasn't at first but you mean so much to me. I want you to be happy no matter what. If Reyna makes you happy, I'm not gonna be mad. I only want my friends and family to be safe and happy."

"How could I have forgotten about that fatal flaw," she answers wiping a few tears from her face with a smile. Percy places as ghostly hand on her cheek wishing he could actually touch her.

"Your my best friend. Go. It's okay. Go find Reyna. Let me go."

Annabeth nods once. Percy opens his mouth to speak but his form flickers.

"I'll be in Elysium. I'll see you all again one day," he says before he disappears.

Annabeth looks at the other three before hugging them gratefully. She lets go before running off in search of her Roman.

"They grow up so fast," Piper says wiping away a fake tear.

"I'm gonna take a nap," Nico slurs before falling on top of Will unconscious.

Annabeth sprints back toward the party passing everyone as she goes. Many give their sympathy but she ignores them. She nearly runs into Aphrodite who only smiles and points the girl in the right direction.

Annabeth thanks the goddess before running off in the indicated direction. She soon finds the black haired girl walking in the opposite direction.

"Reyna!" She calls. The other girl turns relief on her face. Annabeth runs up to the other girl who hugs her.

"Annabeth! I've been looking for you. You ran off. Are you-" Reyna is cut off as a pair of lips crash on to hers. Reyna is surprised but returns the kiss.

When they part Annabeth looks into Reyna's eyes and speaks. "I love you. I was afraid to say it before. It's okay now. I love you."

"Good. I love you too."

The two kiss again before walking through Olympus hand in hand. Annabeth could practically see Percy smiling his lopsided smile.

His words repeat in her head. He told her two words and that was all she needed to hear.

"It's okay."
