Summer passed by too quickly. Before I knew it it was time to pack up and move to Prestion.

I looked around the campus with a mixture of excitement of anxiety. I'd known this day was coming for months but still, part of me couldn't believe I was actually here. I guess after everything I'd been through the past few years, I'd thought this was impossible. But it wasn't. I was here. This was happening.

"This place is huge." Cali said looking around with an expression that was almost intimidated. "How are you going to find your classes?"

I wasn't looking forward to a year without her, but she wasn't too far away, and she would visit.

"Let's go you two." My mother said excitedly. "You're in my old dorm building Will."

"Alright." I said grabbing one of the bags out of the trunk and Cali did the same.

The halls were packed as we stepped into the dorm. They were full of people like us that were carrying things like boxes, mirrors, and suitcases all trying to get to their rooms on move-in day.

"This building is co-ed?" Dave said frowning as he spotted two girls walking out of the hall bathrooms in towels and back into their rooms.

"Like you need to worry about him doing anything." My mother said rolling her eyes. "Between classes and practice he's not going to have time to sleep let alone talk to girls."

"But still…"

"Cali is right here." I said looking at them indignantly. "You don't think the fact I have a girlfriend factors into this at all?"

She grinned. Unlike Dave, she didn't seem worried at all.

"Here it is." My mother said looking at the room with the number eighteen on the door and we stepped inside to see that there were several boxes already stacked on the desk and bed on the left side of the room.

"Looks like your roommate's already here." Dave said dropping the box he was carrying on my desk and heading back into the hall.

"Will, you start unpacking." My mom said also putting down a box. "We'll go to go back to the car and get the rest of your stuff."

"Alright." I said letting the bag that was over my shoulder fall onto the bed and taking the one Cali was holding and tossing it on there as well.

She followed Dave back into the hall and I turned towards Cali who'd drifted over to the window.

"Nice view." She said watching as people walked back and forth between their cars and the buildings with their stuff. We were seven floors up which meant not only did I get a pretty good view of the lawn, but also river that ran next to campus.

"It's nothing compared to what I see everyday." I said putting my arm around her shoulder and pulling her closer to kiss the top of her head.

"Not anymore." She said quietly and for the first time I heard the disappointment in her voice. "I guess this is it, isn't it?"

"You make it sound like I'm dying." I said putting my chin on her head and wrapping my arms around her.

"I'm just going to miss you." She said softly.

"You realize that I'm going to see you like every weekend right?" I asked her. "And I'll be home over break. And I'm sure Mom is going to drag you and Dave to every track meet."

"Yeah I know." She said. "It's just weird not to have you one room away."

"Only for a little while." I said quietly.

We continued looking together out the window for about thirty seconds until she said.

"I should probably go help them get the rest of the boxes."

"Yeah and I need to start unpacking." I said letting her go.

"I'll see you in a bit." She said standing on tip toe to kiss my cheek then walked out to the hall. I saw a few boys in the room across the hall stick their heads out as she walked by. They quickly went back in however, when they caught my expression.

I turned to the box that Dave had left on the desk.

I knew I should have started unpacking my clothes so they could grab the suitcases on their next trip down, but what Cali said had affected me more than I'd let on. She was right, for the past few years Cali had been only a wall away. Even before we were dating it was nice knowing that she was there. She might have been a bit crazy at the time, but she was one of the very few people in my mortal life that knew everything about me, and was the only person who understood everything I'd gone through.

What was I going to do without her?

So instead of going through the bags, I opened the box full of my posters and pictures that I'd brought from my room. If she wasn't going to be here, I wanted to at least make it feel as much like home as possible.

I sifted through the pictures and smiled when I found the one I was looking for. Just as I had tacked it up on the wall next to my bed and started looking through the others, a tall boy with sandy blonde hair walked through the door, his phone pressed against his ear by his shoulder as he carried in a huge card board box.

"Yeah Mom," he said sounding exasperated. "Ok, I won't forget where the car is parked. Yes, I have them! Mom the box is literally in my hands right now. Mhmm." He said setting the box down. "Ok, bye."

He hung up the phone then seemed to notice me.

"Oh hi," he said. "You must be Will."

I nodded.

"I'm Tony." He said extending a hand that I shook.

"Who's that?" he asked curiously noticing the picture I'd put up. It was of Cali and me from our latest stay at camp.

"That's my girlfriend." I said and his mouth fell open.

"Are you serious?" he said dropping my hand and taking a closer look at the picture.

"Yep, that's Cali."

"You're kidding..." he said looking at me skeptically, as if he didn't believe me.

"Will," Cali said stepping into the room with a laundry hamper full of blankets and sheets. Tony looked like he'd been hit by a truck. "Apparently there's some sort of problem with your RA. He says each time I visit in need to check in with him…"

I raised an eyebrow and realization dawned on her.

"I'm kicking his ass." She said and I laughed.

"Cali, calm down." I said gabbing her arm before she walked back down the hall. "Meet my room mate, Tony."

"Hi." She said flashing him a smile and I thought he might faint. "Are you ok?" she asked in concern when he sat on his bed looking dizzy.

"Fine," he muttered and looking away. "Hi."

"You're Mom's on the way up with the last box." She said turning back to me. "You have anything for me to take back to the car?"

"Not yet." I admitted and she seemed to notice that the picture was the only thing that I'd unpacked.

She smiled.

"Take this down." I said unzipping one of the bags, dumping the clothes onto my bed, then tossing it to her.

She easily caught it and walked back into the hall.

"How?" Tony asked looking up from the wall now that he was sure she was gone. "Just… how?"

"Kind of a long story." I said with a grin. "We were neighbors until she moved in with me and my parents."

"They let her live with you?" he asked incredulously.

But before I could even start to explain, my mother walked into the room.

"Will," she said in exasperation when she spotted how little progress I'd made. "You can put up pictures later. We've got to move the car soon."

"Alright." I said unpacking my clothes as she struck up a conversation with Tony. I faded in and out but from what I gathered, he was from Vermont and planning to major in chemistry.

Eventually Cali and Dave made it back to the room and after I'd put away everything important, we carried the suitcases and boxes back to the car.

"Do you think you'll be ok going to the student mixer alone?" my mother asked after we'd moved the car to a street removed from the chaos of the main campus. "Coach Thompson and his wife invited us to lunch but I wasn't sure if you'd want us to go with you or not."

"We'll be fine." I said taking Cali's hand as she slid out of the back seat.

"Alright." She said looking at me with a mixture of pride and disappointment and part of me wondered if she'd wanted me to ask her to come. "Well, I guess we'll meet back here in a few hours and then go to dinner?"

"Sounds good." Dave said and after one final sad smile, my mother allowed Dave to pull her in the opposite direction Cali and I would be heading to the Freshmen Mixer.

"Something tells me my evening is going to be ice cream and looking at your baby pictures." Cali said looking after my mom.

"I hope not." I said frowning. I wasn't a very cute kid…

"You know this place is really nice." She said looking at the mix of modern buildings and old town houses that dotted the campus. The brick side walks were lined with large trees and the grass looked obsessively maintained.

"Think you might apply?" I asked curiously.

"We'll see what happens when my SATs results come." She said evasively.

We walked to the center of campus where a series of things like over sized boxing, mechanical bulls, and bouncy castles were set up on the lawn for the incoming freshman and their families to get to know each other.

"I can't see anything." Cali complained standing on her toes trying to look over the crowd as we checked out the pit band that was preforming some of the songs they were known to play during the football games.

"C'mon on." I said amused dropping to one knee, she looked down at me and grinned, then let me pick her up and carry her on my back.

"Better?" I asked as she rested her chin on my shoulder.

"Much." She said sounding amused.

"Jesus Cali, you really are short."

I turned, which meant we both turned, to see Chris, holding hands with Madison and grinning at us. They were both wearing ludicrous balloon hats, in the school colors of sky blue and slate gray, as well as balloon swords.

"I'm not short, everyone else is too tall."

"You keep telling yourself that." He said amused then looking down at Madison. "So, you convinced yet?"

"I told you." She said looking stubborn. "I'm going to New York."

"What are you talking about?" Cali asked forgetting her irritation with him and glancing at Chris, but it was Madison who responded.

"Chris is trying to convince me to apply." she said rolling her eyes. "But I've told him a million times I'm going to a school where I can also see shows on Broadway."

"But there's a really good program here."

"I don't care how good it is."

"But I'm here."

"I will use this." She said brandishing the balloon sword at him and he grinned.

"They've got a theater program here?" I asked interested.

"See!" Chris said looking down at Madison. "Now you have to come here, you know Will's gonna convince Cali. Don't you want to go to school with your best friend?"

"Leave it alone Chris." She said warningly.

"But-"

'WHACK'

"Told you I'd use it." Madison said cackling and running as Chris chased after her determined to repay her with a balloon strike of his own.

"What do you think?" I asked looking at Cali who was watching Madison amused.

"About?"

"The school. If you could study theater here, would you come?"

Despite having only just discovered her interest in it, Cali had developed a passion for acting that no one had really seen coming. After the spring musical, Madison had convinced Cali to get involved with her local theater troupes and she'd burned through all the novelizations and film adaptations of classic musicals and plays Madison let her borrow.

"Do you really think I'd get in?" she asked.

"Anything's possible."

"I'll think about it." she said and I grinned.

Eventually, I let Cali down and we continued walking around the even playing some of the games. We ran into Tony at the 'How Much is Too Much?' booth where they spread information to incoming students about partying and alcohol consumption. At the booth was a contest to see who could pour the correct amount for a shot with water, where Cali won a school shirt. We bumped into Madison and Chris a few more times, but by the time we were supposed to meet my parents back at the car it was just again.

Dinner passed much faster than I expected, and before I knew it, I was hugging my teary eyed mother goodbye in my dorm room.

"You're going to have so much fun." She said and though her eyes were watering, her smile was bright. "Make sure you get to practice on time tomorrow ok?"

"I will." I said grinning as she released me.

"I'm really proud of you." She said wiping her eyes. "Oh damn, I told myself I wasn't going to cry."

"It's alright Karen." Dave said putting a hand on her shoulder as she tried to regain her composure.

He turned to me and while I went to shake his hand, I was surprised when he too gave me a hug.

"I'm proud of you too Will." He said smiling his eyes bright behind his glasses. "I hope you know that I truly have come to see you as a son."

I was stunned into silence, but he didn't seem to require an answer. Instead he looked down at Cali.

"Well you're up." He said she too stepped into an embrace.

This one was longer than the other two, but even then I wasn't completely ready to let her go as we broke apart.

"I'm going to miss you." She said. She wasn't crying like my mother, but her eyes were deep blue, and I knew she was sad.

"I'll miss you too." I said and my mother was tactful enough to start a conversation with Dave as we continued our goodbyes.

"You're not going to forget about me now that you're a big university student are you?"

"Not possible." I said and she smiled. "Besides, you'll be here next year right?"

"I guess I found motivation for Senior year." She said vaguely.

"Yeah you'd better I won't be around to keep you in line."

She rolled her eyes but laughed and kissed me.

"Call me tonight?" she asked hopefully.

"Every night." I answered.

"Your roommate's going to hate you." She said laughing again.

"He's seen you. I think he understands."

She smiled and Dave glanced at his watch.

"We should really head out." He said looking at me. "You all settled?"

"Yeah." I said with a nod.

"Then I think it's time." He said matter of factly. "Karen? Cali?"

They nodded, and my mother gave me one final hug and beam of pride. They filed out of the room. Cali was last to leave, and she looked over her shoulder to gave me a final smile before walking towards the elevators with my parents.

Without really meaning to, I crossed the room to the door and watched her walk down the hall. She'd linked arms with my mother who was dabbing at her eyes with a tissue Dave had given her.

They stepped into the elevators and just as the doors closed Tony had made it back to the room.

"Hey." He said noticing what I was staring at. "I just got invited to hang out with some girls on the second floor, but I'm guessing you're good?"

"Yeah." I said. "I've got practice tomorrow morning anyways, sorry."

"It's cool, I didn't really expect you'd want to go anyways." He said his eyes glancing at the picture of Cali on my wall. "You know most guys wouldn't want to come to college already in a relationship, but I guess most people could understand in your case."

"So I'm guessing you won't care if she visits a lot then?"

"Nah man." He said grinning. "But I do have a condition."

"What is it?"

"If she's got a sister, you need to introduce me."

I laughed.

"I'm not sure I'd be doing you a favor there." I said thinking of Amorette. "They can be a bit intense."

"What about Cali?" he asked curiously.

"Intense doesn't even begin to cover it." I said amused and sitting on my bed.

"You don't seem to mind." He pointed out.

"It's one of my favorite things about her." I said honestly. "You never know what to expect."

"Most guys wouldn't like that." He said giving me a thoughtful look. "Regular girls are confusing enough."

"I enjoy a challenge." I said with a shrug.

"I think most people would if they looked like her." He said flatly. "So, you're one of those guys that's like totally about his relationship?"

"If you want to call it that I guess." I said frowning.

"Hey I'm not judging." He said shrugging. "It's just when you said you were a school athlete in your emails I'd figure you'd be a jock tearing through the place. I didn't expect you to be tied down that's all."

"Well believe it. 'Cuz that's not changing."

"Think you'll survive long distance then?" he asked grinning and I through back over the years and everything that Cali and I had been through. Monsters, magic, mortals like Tyler and her father, and even Gods.

"I know we will." I said certainly. Cali and I had been through much worse, and there was nothing in the mortal or our parents world I would give her up for. I didn't care of Zeus promised me Olympus itself.

I'd sworn to be a part Cali's life no matter what happened, and although my motives today were very different, I had no intention of ever going back on that promise. I didn't care what the Gods through at me. As long as she was with me, I could handle anything.

Well I hope you liked it! Feel free to imagine your own endings for the characters but, if anyones interested in where I imagined them, that's below. Thanks for reading!

...

Will goes to school and follows in his mother's footsteps by training at the Olympic level. He had to take a year off his Junior year for the games but doesn't regret it because it allowed him to graduate the same year as Cali, who, after she left high school ended up at Prestion as well where she studied theater. After school she becomes an actress, and though she'd spent most of her life trying to avoid attention, she ends up ironically becoming very famous. She puts her influence to good use though, and has becomes an activist against child abuse. Much to her frustration however, most of the media was more interested in her relationship with popular Olympian Will Silverman than her cause.

Madison ended up in New York, where she also studied theater and preformed on broadway for a few years. Chris, who despite being an athlete, managed to graduate in nine semesters, moved to New York to live with Madison and they eloped before he applied to medical school. The couple are still best friends with Cali and Will.

Max and Amber broke up in their sophomore year but remained friends. It took him a while to believe that Will and Cali's parents were Gods, but after an adjustment period, he accepted it, realizing it was the only explanation for what had gone on in his sister's life. Eventually, he did end up in Florida, where he studied graphic design and started a popular webcomic called 'Chaotic Cali', a story about the adventures of trouble prone teenager and her boyfriend who always stumbled into one problem after the next, which he swears has nothing absolutely nothing to do with his sister and Will. He and Cali are still extremely close and he visits her every break.

Sadie and Cali remained friends and Sadie constantly video called her for her opinion on her school projects as she went to study fashion. While she originally wanted to be writer in a fashion magazine, she ended up becoming a stylist for various celebrities she met through Cali.

Celeste stayed as one of the most loved head Councilors of cabin 10 and she and Cali remained close. To no one's surprise Amorette ended up a model. Like Cali she grew to be extremely famous, which was a little awkward seeing as they often ran into each other at celebrity events. Eventually, after a while they were able accept each other as sisters, though because their personalities are so different they would never be very close.

After she graduated high school, Cali never saw Tyler again. No one was really sure what happened to him or her father, but years later, she finally tracked Grayson Parker to a small town in France where he'd first met Aphrodite. Better able to control her abilities, Cali manages to fix her father and is currently working repairing her relationship with him.

Despite his initial anger at lying to him, Max forgives Will and the two become very close. Together they encourage Cali to pursue a relationship with her mother and even managed to convince the goddess to come to Cali's surprise 23rd birthday party, which they worked so hard to make everything perfect. It had to be if Will was going to propose.
