A/N: I do not own the series PJO, however, I do enjoy the stories.

Chapter 1

The New Room

It's been a year since we defeated Kronos and everything seems to be back to normal. I'm back at my favorite place in the world, Camp Half-Blood. My friend Grover is off with the other Satyrs to schools around the world searching for other Demigods. Last I heard from him, he was in this little place called Garfield Heights, Ohio. He said he'd found one, but this one was different, it was like he knew what he was and wanted to be found. He told me he'd be back to camp with him by dinner. I couldn't wait to meet this kid.

My girlfriend Annabeth, daughter of Athena was on Olympus right now, rebuilding it and adding new features. I really miss my blonde-haired, gray-eyed angel, but I'd never say it like that out loud. She sent me an Iris Message saying that she'd be back close to dinner too, but might be held up because Ares didn't think his new statue in his new temple looked fearsome enough, the big baby.

I walked down the hill, petting Peleus, our guard dragon, on the way down. He was resting peacefully under Thalia's pine. I passed a couple of new kids most being claimed. I saw signs of Apollo, Hermes, Aphrodite, and some minor gods as well, Morpheus, Hecate, Melinoe and Phobos. I guess the gods were keeping their word on the promise I had them swear last year. I looked off in the distance and saw all the new cabins being built. No doubt Annabeth had a hand in that.

I walked up to the Big House and saw Chiron sitting on the porch in wheel-chair form, playing cards with Mr. D, or Dionysus if want to get on his bad side, and Rachel Elizabeth Dare. She was my friend now turned Camp Oracle, the first one in over70 years. For which I am grateful, the old mummy Oracle really creeped us all out. From the looks of it, Rachel was winning.

"Oh bother," Mr. D threw his cards on the table. "Not again. Every bloody time she plays, neither of us wins. She's cheating."

"Now now Mr. D," Chiron chided. "Just because she's the Oracle, doesn't mean she can see your cards. Am I right child?"

"Nope," Rachel smiled. "Mr. D's right, I am cheating." She laughed hysterically before she spotted me. "Percy!" she ran up and jumped in my arms. Thank the gods Annabeth wasn't there. Even though the Oracle HAS to be a maiden, that still wouldn't stop Annabeth from being jealous. Chiron cleared his throat.

"Oh," she looked down and blushed. "Sorry Percy…and Chiron."

Chiron chuckled, "It's quite alright my dear. I understand what it's like to go to one of those Preppy Girl Boarding schools. I've taught at quite a few." He wheeled his chair over to me and smiled. His scraggly beard had now been tamed and his hair wasn't so wild. Although, his tweed jacket and fake pants looked like they'd been burned. "Hello Percy," he held out his hand. "I'm glad to see you again."

"Ah yes," Mr. D sat up. "Mr. Johannes is back. Yay."

"It's nice to see you too Chiron, and you too Mr. D… And it's Jackson. Percy Jackson."

"Yeah yeah," Mr. D waved. "Whatever. Haven't blown up anymore schools again have we?"

I just glared at him; surprisingly this school year had gone off without a hitch. No monsters, no freak weather, just a normal, almost mortal, school year.

"Percy," Rachel grinned. "I think you should go to your cabin, Annabeth made a few, adjustments." My eyes shot out of my head. Annabeth had been in my room! Oh gods, I hope she didn't find the gift I was working on for her that I started last summer. I was making her a seashell mirror with the help of Tyson and my dad. For some strange reason, my dad, Poseidon, was cool with me dating a daughter of his bitterest rival, Athena. On the other hand, Anna's mom utterly detests me. Every chance she gets, even in my dreams, she warns me to stay away from her daughter.

I ran as fast as I could to Cabin Three, the Poseidon cabin. I wasn't expecting anyone to be there, not even Tyson, my Cyclops half-brother. See, my dad and his two brothers, Zeus and Hades, swore a pact on the River Styx after WWII to never have any more kids because we were too dangerous, which is true, but still harsh. But, even though they promised, both Zeus and my dad fell off the wagon and had me and my friend Thalia, daughter of Zeus, now Lieutenant Huntress to Artemis.

Just as I thought, empty. It was kinda sad actually. I could get very lonely at night. When Tyson was here I didn't feel so bad. But now, with him at dads forges, I'm all by my lonesome. I checked under my mattress to see if the mirror was still there, it was. I looked towards the back wall and noticed a second bathroom. Was this what Annabeth was doing?

I entered it and automatically noticed that this room wasn't for boys. The shower, wait, shower! We have showers in our cabins now? Way to go Annabeth! But anyway, the shower curtain had flowers and birds on it. Next to the toilet was what my mom called the 'Magic Box', a separate trash can for women to dispose of their girly body items in without freaking us guys out. I opened the medicine cabinet, which I shouldn't have done because all these pills and other womanly items I shall not mention, namely because Annabeth would kill me if I did, fell all over me. I fixed them up as best I could and walked out of there shuddering. Why had she done this? I walked over to my bed and noticed the bunk next to mine. It had been pushed so close to mine they were almost connected. But the bunk itself looked out of place. It was gray and blue and the backboard was the shape of an ow- no way.

I dropped my bags on the floor and almost headed out the door when I noticed that not only was my dad's old present to me fixed, a fountain of saltwater to make Iris messages with, it was glowing like someone was calling me. I asked for Isis to show me and lo and behold, it was Annabeth.

"Hey Seaweed Brain," she grinned. Do you like your newly refurbished room?" She winked at me.

"Uh," was the most sophisticated response I could think of.

"What," she looked worried. "You don't like it?" Even though the message was water vapor, I could see tears starting to well up in her eyes.

"No no no, that's not it babe," I recovered fast. "I love it, it was just sprung on me so fast. Wait, does this mean that…"

"Yep," she nodded. "I'm moving in with you. I mean, if you don't mind. I mean if you don't want me to its ok, I understand."

My face had to be as red as Ares battle flag because she started to smile again. Annabeth, here, with me? Wow, this was too good to be true.

"Oh, did I forget to mention? The walls are soundproof too." She winked and gave me a mischievous grin. This wasn't like Annabeth; she must've been hanging out with Aphrodite too long. She was starting to rub off on her.

"Hell yeah," I exclaimed. "I'd totally love for you to move in here with me, but wait, what about Chiron and Mr. D?"

"I talked to Chiron about it. He said we proved ourselves as Adults last year during the war and is letting us decide our fates, such as we can. We just have to be careful choose the wise decisions."

"Well that's easy for you to say Wise-Girl," I laughed. "Atleast your mom is the goddess of wisdom."

She smiled sympathetically. "That's why you've got me stupid. I'll see you in a few hours. I can hear Hephaestus yelling for me. I'll talk to you later baby." And with that, her image disappeared. So that's why Chiron was looking at me weird, heh, well this should be fun. I put Riptide in my pocket and my watch/shield on and started walking toward the sword arena. I had a feeling that this was going to be a really great summer.
