Hey guys! thanks for all the reviews last chapter! So this is the longest story I've ever written, and by far the most popular. :) Anyone that's read any of my other stuff (or even seen it) will know that i was pretty popular before but now... All I can say is OMG and THANK YOU SO MUCH! Also, thanks for your inputs on what story I should write next! This is the last chapter. It's pretty sad. :( I think I might combine both those ideas that I mentioned in the poll! That'd be pretty fun to write. :) I also hope you guys will head over to that once this is over! That'd be great. :) Anyways, I own nothing but please enjoy this chapter. :)

SOP/Nixi: great chapters! Can I have the next once you have them?

Piper's POV

It wasn't. Percy finally looked up from the floor, staring deep into my eyes. "Piper," he whispered. I nodded slightly, leaning in a little closer. "I love you too."

Its been two weeks since Percy was brought back to camp and unfrozen. With the help of all his friends and family, he's been recovering memories almost every day. He now remembers the entire war with Gaea, as well as a bit before that. Memories from his childhood still seem a bit hard for him to recall, but he's been making great process. Tyson came to visit the other day, and that's when Percy– the real Percy– realized he had actually been gone for over two years. To say he was shocked would be an understatement.

"Piper! Piper, hurry up!" Percy called, jumping a few yards in front of me impatiently.

I laughed at his childlike nature. "I am hurrying!" I yelled back, and continued walking at a normal pace towards the beach.

"No, you aren't!" Percy pouted.

Percy and I became boyfriend and girlfriend shortly after he said he loved me two weeks ago. It's been the best two weeks of my life. He had asked me earlier today to go with him to the beach; apparently, he had a "surprise" planned. From the way my siblings were squealing as I walked put of the cabin, and from the way the bushes keep shaking as I walk past even though there's no wind, id say Percy had some help with the surprise.

Knowing my siblings, there's only one thing I can say: Gods help me.

We were almost to the beach. I could see patches of sand through the trees and bushes, sparkling like diamonds in the light of the setting sun. We were skipping dinner and most likely the campfire for my "surprise". I just hope that Kelp Head remembered to bring food so we don't both starve.

Just as I was about to step past the trees and onto the warm sand, Percy gasped, causing me to stop.

"What's wrong?" I asked worriedly. Was he remembering something from his past?

"You can't see the surprise yet!" He exclaimed. Remembering something, yes. From his past, no.

Before i could object, Percy ran up to me and covered my eyes with his hand. "Don't worry," he soothed gently. "I'll guide you."

I hesitated. Do I trust him enough to let him lead me around blindly?

"Trust me," he said. And I nodded without any hesitation.

True to his word, Percy carefully led me down the sandy dunes. I could the roar of the waves get louder, meaning Percy was walking me closer to the water's edge.

We stopped moving. "Close your eyes," Percy instructed. I did so. "I'm going to take my hand away. Don't look until I say you can!"

I nodded, and I felt his hand leave my face. I was so extremely tempted to open my eyes, but obediently kept them closed. A few moments later, Percy's voice called to me above the sound of the waves. "You can open your eyes now!"

The first thought that came to me once i opened my eyes was a simple one: Wow. Several others followed, but the first was the most dominant. Wow.

My siblings finally got it right.

I was standing in front of a wooden gazebo-like structure, with four pillars supporting several horizontal beams. Hanging from the beams and wrapped around the pillars were strings of lights. In the middle of the four pillars, a red-checkered picnic blanket was resting in the sand. A picnic basket was sitting on it, along with a lit candle and an empty vase. I wondered what the vase was for until I saw a blushing Percy standing next to the blanket and holding a single red rose. Red rose... Don't those symbolize love and passion?

"Uh, this is for you," Percy stated awkwardly, holding the rose out to me. "I would've gotten you fifty, but I don't have a vase big enough." He chuckled awkwardly.

I smiled, acceprjng the single red rose. Then I frowned slightly. "Fifty? Doesn't that symbolize-"

"We'd better start eating before our food gets cold!" Percy interrupted. For the moment, I dropped the subject. We both sat down on the picnic blanket to eat.

From the picnic basket, Percy took out two garden salads in bowls, one of which he passed to me. I stared at it.

Percy noticed my lack of movement. He paused, hand deep in the picnic basket. "What's wrong? You don't like it?"

I kept staring at the salad. "No, I do. It's just... You remembered that I'm a vegetarian?"

Percy looked at me. "Yeah, of course. Why wouldn't I?"

I blinked a couple tears out of my eyes. "Jason didn't remember," I mumbled quietly. Percy still heard me.

"Jason was a dick."

I smiled softly at him. "You always know the right things to say."

He grinned. "I'm just awesome like that. You should nominate me for best boyfriend of the year."

After that, we ate our salads while we watched the sun set over the ocean, turning the water and sky a rainbow of colors. We were both finished by the Time Apollo had driven his chariot under the ocean.

"Piper?" I looked at Percy. "I need to ask you something," he told me.

I nodded. "Anything."

He bit his lip nervously. "Well, we've only been together for two weeks, but it feels like much more. I want it to be more. If I lost you, I don't think id ever find someone half as perfect as you are." He paused. "I want to marry you, but I don't think we're ready for that." He stood up, then went down on one knee. He pulled a box put of his pocket. "Piper McLean, will you promise to marry me by wearing this promise ring?"

I was in shock. Finally, I managed to choke out a "yes". Then another, louder one. "Yes!"

I tackled led him down in a hug in the sand. He laughed and hugged me close. "Fifty roses?"

I smiled. "Unconditional love."

I unfroze his body by mending his broken heart. Love does melt all.

The end.
