6.) Sam Clarkson
A/N: Set three years after the giant war, and you guys might kill me halfway through...
Sam
I scaled a tree at the edge of the forest near the fireworks beach, watching Percy and Annabeth. Their silhouettes stretched out onto the sand behind them as they watched the sunset. "Would you care?" Annabeth suddenly asked him.
"Would I care for what?" Percy replied.
"If I left you." Percy turned to face Annabeth.
"Of course I would care. I wouldn't be sane without you."
"It's just that... Piper and Jason are engaged. Frank and Hazel are living together in New Rome. Leo and Calypso are gods know where, travelling on the Argo III. We haven't even moved in together for college."
"I know. But we bought a house. Do you want to-"
"Three months ago when we moved most of stuff in there Percy! We had a celebration party that night, just the seven and Calypso."
"I can't even remember that night." Percy admitted.
"You shouldn't." Annabeth was in tears now. Suddenly, she sprinted off the beach, her face in her hands. I leapt out of the tree and followed her.
It took me ten minutes, but I eventually found her leaning against the Athena cabin wall. I walked up to her and put my hands on either side of her head, on the cabin walls. "G-go away." She sniffed, not even glancing at me.
"Never. He hurt you, and I will be there for you." Then I brought my lips to hers.
There was a gasp, running feet, and a lot of pain. Annabeth had judo-flipped me onto the cabin wall. Everything went blurry, but I made out Annabeth calling Percy's name and crying.

Annabeth
I didn't know what happened until it did. One moment I was leaning against my cabin wall, the next I was kissing someone. Thinking it was Percy, I kissed back, but I soon realised my mistake.
Sobs echoed around the Poseidon cabin. I knocked on the door. "Go away!" Percy screamed at me. I was taken aback, this wasn't like my Seaweed Brain.
"Please Percy." I murmured through the crack in the door. "I didn't-"
"I SAID GO AWAY!"
Tears fell down my cheeks in waterfalls. I stomped off to my cabin, packed a small bag, and left camp, determined to never see Percy Jackson again.

I threw up in the toilet again. My dad was getting worried. It'd been two weeks since I had left Camp Half-Blood, and I had called my dad who came to pick me up. Shakily, I rose to my feet from my crouch before the toilet. I went over to my stepmom's special 'girls only' cupboard, and pulled out a box.
I did it three times, just to make sure.
Positive.
Positive
Positive.
Tears formed in my eyes. I sobbed into my hands. The pregnancy tests left scattered over the floor.
"Annabeth sweetie, are you alright?" My stepmom called through the door.
"I'm o-okay." I replied, leaning on the floor with my back against the wall.
"You're not." She decided, and came in. From one look at the scattered tests to me crying, she summed it up quickly. "When did this happen?"
"Three months ago."
"Its okay." She comforted me. "Have you told him?"
"He broke up with me."
"You do realise that you'll have to tell him someday-"
"Not yet." I replied firmly.

Percy
It had been five years since I'd broken up with Annabeth, and I just couldn't move on. Piper has been charmspeaking me to eat, otherwise all I did was sit in my cabin and stare blankly at the wall. Apparently someone was coming to camp, someone who hadn't been here in a while.
Everyone was excited. Everyone except me. I knew that it was Annabeth. It had been eight years since the giant war. The others have gotten married, Piper and Jason, Frank and Hazel, Calypso and Leo, even Will and Nico are together. But I'm lonely.
There was a knock on my cabin door. "Perce, you gotta come out sometime." Jason's voice said from my door. I didn't reply. "There's blue cookies."
Immediately, I perked up. Blue cookies were one of the only things that kept me sane. "Coming!" I called, my voice scratchy and hoarse.
There were no blue cookies waiting for me. Instead there was the girl who I never wanted to see again. Annabeth.
Beside her was a little boy no older than four and a half. He had messy blonde hair and bright sea green eyes. "Wise Girl." I greeted coldly.
"Percy." She replied. "I'm sorry-"
"I DON'T WANT YOUR APOLOGIES!" I screamed at her. "You cheated on me. We're over."
I turned to go back inside the Poseidon cabin, when Annabeth's soft voice stopped me. "I missed you. You told me that we weren't getting separated. You said that you wouldn't be sane without me."
"You had a child with someone else." I spat, my back still turned.
"No I didn't. He's yours. Luke Chase-Jackson." I turned around fully. The boy gave me big sea green puppy eyes. And my walls came tumbling down. I opened out my arms for a hug, and he smiled, leaping into them. For the first time in five years I laughed. Then Annabeth came up and hugged me. Just the three of us.
"Love you." I whispered into her blonde curls. She smiled, and as Luke ran away to Jason and Piper's twins, I gave her a kiss.
"Love you too." She replied.
"Annabeth?" Someone squeaked. Behind Annabeth stood the boy who started it all. Sam Clarkson. "I-"
"Oh no you don't." A voice snapped. Aphrodite and ten Aphrodite Rangers stood there, the goddess standing in the middle and the others fanning out around her. "I've been waiting thirteen years for this moment, and you just have to ruin it!"
"Wait - I only left for five years, what do you mean by thirteen?" Annabeth asked.
I gulped and pulled out the blue velvet box out of my pocket. Then I got down on one knee. Several Rangers squealed, while Aphrodite just smirked.
"I've been waiting five years for this, Annabeth Chase." She gasped. "Will you marry me?"
"Say yes!" Someone yelled.
"Say no!" Sam yelled, taking Annabeth's hand and smashing his lips on hers. Before I could strangle this guy, a Ranger jumped on him and knocked him to the ground. She started punching him to death.
Meanwhile, Annabeth turned back to me, and screamed "YES!" I stood up and slid the ring on her finger, then we watched Sam slowly get traumatised by the Aphrodite Ranger, her comrades cheering her on.
A/N: Should I redo this in an Aphrodite Ranger's POV? Maybe a character from my other story, The Aphrodite Rangers, one of your OCs?
Christmas special up next!
