Percy's POV

It was Friday morning and I was in the middle of packing. I would bemissing a day of school for this but I didn't care I was going to see Annabeth. I smiled the whole morning while I packed. I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I forgot what to pack. Sighing I called my mom.

"Hey mom." I said.

"Hey Percy."

"I'm going to see Annabeth for the weekend and I forgot what to pack can you help?" I heard her laughing on the other end of the conversation.

"Actually I think Paul would be better for this task." I heard my mom hand the phone off.

"Hey Percy are you going somewhere?" I frowned trying desperately to remember what I forgot.

"Um... Yeah I'm going to watch Annabeth's qualification meet." I could here Paul smiling on the other end.

"Let me guess you forgot what to pack."

"Yep!" I replied and he laughed before launching off on what I needed.

I was sitting on the plane clutching the arm rests and praying to Zues that I would not die. Trying to relax I place my ear buds in the correct ear and tried to listen to my music. I could feel my body relaxing and soon I drifted off to sleep.

I dreamt about our latest date. I had set up a blanket under the stars by a lake. There was a raft sitting at its edge. I remember covering the raft with the blanket. The next thing I knew a pair of hands wrapped around my waste and a head rested on my shoulder. I sighed contentedly. Turning I saw my beautiful Wise Girl wearing a casual shirt and shorts.

"You made it!" She nodded a smile tugging at her lips.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world Seaweed Brain." Laughing we walked to the raft and helped each other on. Laying on our backs we gazed at the stars. They twinkled like small jewels in the sky. I willed our platform out into the middle of the lake. Annabeth shifted resting her head on my chest and I stroked her hair.

"Thank you Percy. For everything. You'll always be my one and only." She whispered. I smiled but I asked her something I had been wanting to for years now.

"Annabeth, don't get mad. I...well I've always wondered what if Luke wasn't evil what if he was still alive. Would you love him?" She gave me a sad smile.

"Percy to be honest I'm not sure it probably would have been you. Thinking back on it I should have realized he never loved me. Eventually I excepted that and found peace. What made it easier to except though was you. You were always there sure you were annoying but even then that's what I liked about you. I saw us going places together. You were so much more, everything that I wanted that Luke wasn't. You were perfect. Sure there was a time when I loved Luke. But after meeting you I realized what he was missing. The only problem was that I was confused. Torn between my past with Luke and you. Then I realized I only loved him because he was the father figure I never had. I loved him because he found me and showed me what a caring person could be. Soon though I realized I didn't love him, I loved what he had done for me." She finished with a bit of guilt in her voice. I smiled and kissed her. Right under the stars alone without any worry's.

"That's my answer Annabeth. Thank you, for telling me, thank you for loving me." That night she fell asleep against me snuggled up close. While she slept I held her. She was mine and for the first time I realized just how much I loved her.

I woke smiling from my dream to the flight attendant announcing our arrival. Grabbing my things I headed off the plane to grab my luggage. Once I had secured it I searched the crowd for Annabeth. That's when my phone rang. Looking at the caller ID it read Malcolm. I answered and we chatted. I told him I was going to need a ride.
