Wow... It has bee a while. I am so so sorry for taking this long to post the final chapter. I just didn't want it to be over.

I looked over the chapter and saw that my writing style has improved tremendously. I don't think I'll be using this website for much anymore. But, If you want to read some more of my writings, go to ./tagged/fanfiction and if you want me to write a story on a certain pairing just drop it in my ask box ./ask :)

Well, I just want to thank all of you for all the reviews and reads. I am so honored to have been writing this story for you all!

So, here you go! The final chapter of Converse! :')

Disclaimer: Nope, just nope. Not my book series, just my thoughts.'

The wedding went off without a hitch.

They said their vows, put on each other's rings, and sealed it with a kiss.

Annabeth and Thalia grinned at their old friend as he waked down the isle with his new wife. Annabeth walked down the isle after Thalia and Nico, with Percy, smiling at the crowd.

Then her eyes landed on the one person she hoped to avoid. Her mother.

Athena gave her daughter a small smile, but Annabeth just turned forward once again and quickened her pase. Athena sighed and exited with all of the other people. This was going to be a lot tougher than she thought.

Percy looked at Annabeth with concern after they had gone back to the tents. She had stopped smiling and was angrily staring at the tent flaps, daring someone to walk through.

"Annabeth? What's wrong?"

She sighed and looked over at him. Then she did something Percy didnt expect. She blinked away tears and spread out her arms.

He hugged her back, fireworks erupting in his stomach (this always happened). She tucked her head into the crook of his neck and let out a shakey breath.

"Hey it's... it's ok."

Annabeth sniffled and pulled away. "Thanks Percy. I neded that."

"That's what boyfriends do," he told her.

She smiled lovingly at him. Then she remembered the reason for her sadness and the smile fell. Percy gave her a peck on the cheek.

"What has you all upset?"

"My mother. She's here. I never thought she would really come, but I saw her. In the crowd. Percy, I don't know if I can face her."

Percy took her hand and brought it up to his lips, kissing it lightly.

"Then we'll do it. Together."

Annabeth laced her fingers through his. "I'd like that."

Just then a woman's voice sounded outside of the tent.

"Annabeth?"

"Come on in Mrs. Chase," Percy called. He squeezed Annabeth's hand for reassurance and he sat in the chair near him. Annabeth sat down on his lap and waited.

Athena Chase opened the tent flap tentatively and walked in. She saw Annabeth and Percy and smiled.

"This must be Percy. It's very nice to meet you."

Percy nodded, unable to shake her hand (he was rather distracted by his girlfriend sitting in his lap and holding his hands that were wrapped around her slim waist) in hello. Athena nodded back and then looked at her daughter.

Annaneth swallowed and said, "Hello Mom."

Athena looked at Percy, in hopes he would get the message. He did, but shook his head no.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Chase. I promised Annabeth I would stay. So I will."

Annabeth looked back at him and grinned. He smiled back at her and then they both looked over at the woman.

"And now I know you are good for my daughter," she told him.

Percy grinned. "I'm glad you think so."

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Annabeth asked suddenly.

Athena sighed and sat in the chair next to theirs. "I'm here to tell you I am immensely sorry. I left you in the care of your father when you were young, and left him divorced. I am so so so sorry. I want us to have a good mother-daughter relationship. And I am willing to try if you are."

Annabeth stood up and Percy and Athena followed suit. She walked up to her mother, scanning her face for any insincerity. She found none. She smiled.

"Thank you. I think I'm willing to try. But I have to tell you, you have alot of years to make up for."

Athena chucked and embraced her daughter. She rested her head in her long blond hair and smiled. Percy stood back and smiled.

Athena pulled back and Annabeth walked over to Percy and took his hand. Nico popped his head in the tent and smiled.

"Hate to break up this family moment, but we need you two for pictures."

The four of them walked out of the tent and branched off, Athena walking over to greet Frederick and his family, the others to the camera.

After pictures were taken, they all walked over to the giant tent set up a few hundred feet from the place of he wedding. That was where they were going to have the reception.

Annabeth and Percy were walking, hands intertwined, with Thalia and Nico, who looked the same.

A 'psst!' noice caused them to stop and look over to the source.

Luke was standing there with a stupid grin on his face. He had been like that ever since the wedding started.

"Yeah Luke?" Thalia asked.

"Nico, there is someone I would like for you to meet."

Nico tilted his head to the side, confused. "Who?"

Percy was now grinning. He knew what was going to happen.

Luke walked over to a man and gestured for him to follow. He walked slowly over, his appearance becoming more evident to the four with every step.

Nico had frozen. His face had drained of color and he was completely pale. Thalia looked at him concerned.

"Nico? Do you know who that is? He looks like-" she gasped softly as she made the connection.

By that time, the man had reached them. His olive toned skin showed no emotion, but he still looked slightly nervous.

"Nico. My boy. How have you been?"

Nico's breath hitched. Yeah, it was definitely him.

"Hey... dad..."

Hades cleared his throat and said, "Go get your sister. We should talk."

Nico nodded, his body on autopilot. The two began to walk away but Hades looked back and at Percy.

"Oh, and Percy, right? There is someone who really wants to see you." And he pointed at the crowd at a specific person.

Percy's once smiling face fell when he saw the all-too-not-too familiar man walking towards him.

"Hello Perseus. It is so good to see you again."

"Dad... What...?"

Hades nodded and left with his kids (Bianca had arrived a few moments earlier in stunned silence.)

"Percy? This is your dad?" Annabeth asked.

The man smiled, the sides of his face crinkling into smile lines. "Yes. I am Poseidon Jackson. Nice to meet you..."

She smiled and stuck out her hand. "Annabeth Chase. I'm Percy's girlfriend."

Poseidon shook her hand, smiling.

Even if Percy was angry at his father, he still slightly smiled at Annabeth's extra comment.

Poseidon turned towards his son and looked at him remorsefully.

"When Hades told me that he was comming to make up with his children and invited me to come, I know you were friends with them so I thought you would be here and I could come and do the same..."

Percy looked astounded at his father. "You really want to make good with me?"

Poseidon smiled. "Yes. I miss you, my son. Even my other family can vouch for this, even if I never truly got to know you, you are still my favorite son.

"Sally has kept me posted. Usually every few months I would get a letter from her. She would tell me about you..."

Percy looked at his father, unsure of what to say. Annabeth tugged on his hand and he looked at her.

"Um, Mr. Jackson? Can I borrow Percy for just a second?"

He smiled slightly and nodded. "Sure Annabeth."

Annabeth dragged Percy a few feet away and began to speak.

"Look, I know this is hard. Trust me, I had to do the same. And just like you, I will stand by you. Now, go back over there and make up with your dad, Seaweed Brain!"

She gave him a gentel shove that actually pushed him foreword. Annabeth is actually really strong, even if she doesn't look it.

"Okay Dad. It'll be tough. You have seventeen years to make up for. But... I forgive you."

Poseidon smiled wide at his son and gave him a quick hug.

Annabeth clapped. "Okay! Now that that's settled, can we go to the reception now?"

Percy laughed and said, "Sure Wise Girl."

She stuck her tongue out at him. Percy scoffed.

"Oh yeah, real mature Annie."

"Oh whatever Perseus."

"Don't call me Perseus."

"Well, don't call me Annie!"

"Okay!" Poseidon said with a chuckle. "Now that that's all figured out, let's go."

The three of them walked into the large tent and sat at the table next to the bride and groom's. Thalia, Nico, Bianca, and Piper (she helped the girls get ready so of course she was invited) were all sitting there. Piper excused herself and walked over to another table where Silena was with Beckendorf.

Percy sat next to Nico and said, "So, what did your dad want?"

Nico looked at him happily. "He's taking us back! Yeah, he recently moved back here and has this huge house. B and I are finally gonna have a home."

Percy grinned. "Awesome man!"

Thalia looked down at the table holding back tears Annabeth looked concerned at her.

"Thalia. Tell me what is wrong. And I won't take no for an answer."

Thalia sighed. "Well, now that Nico has his dad, where are Jason and I going to live?"

Nico looked down ashamed. "Oh my goodness Thalia, I totally forgot. I'm so sorry."

Thalia shook her head. "No, it's okay. Jason and I will figure something out."

"Thalia! Guess what?"

Speak of the devil.

Thalia turned to Jason who was shouting like a kindergartener. "What Jason?"

"Tina just told me that she and Luke are going to adopt us! Is that not awesome?"

Thalia was frozen in happy shock. Luke walked over and shook her shoulders snapping her out of it. She shook her head and then looked up at Luke's face.

She squealed a very unlike her squeal and hugged him fiercely. She was thanking him over and over again. Tina walked over in her modified wedding dress (they pulled up the train so she could dance) and Jason hugged her.

Aw, family moment.

Thalia pulled back and said, "But I can still keep Grace, right?"

Luke laughed. "Of course. I'm sure your father would like that."

Thalia smiled again and hugged Tina while Jason hugged Luke.

Piper walked back over just as Jason was pulling out of Luke's hug. He backed up and right into her.

"Woah! Watch where your g-"

Piper stopped mid sentence and stared at Jason. He stared back with the same intensity, into her eyes.

"Kellidascope," he mumbled.

Piper blushed and looked down. "Oh, sorry," she looked up, "I'm Piper McLean."

Jason shook her hand and said. "And I'm J-Jason, Jason... Um, Jason..."

Piper laughed and pulled her hand back. "Well Jason Um Jason. It's very nice to meet you."

Jason flushed and awkwardly laughed. Piper smiled.

Percy and Annabeth shared glances. Another love story convenes maybe?

"Annabeth! I didn't know that he was the son of Poseidon Jackson!" Athena said angrily pointing at Percy after storming over.

Annabeth furrowed her brow in confusion. "What does that have to do with anything?"

Poseidon stepped over and said, "We're not on good terms."

Percy looked at him confused also.

"So?"

Athena sighed. "I don't want him to be dating my daughter! He might be as stupid as you!"

Poseidon rolled his eyes. "For your information, Percy is relatively smart. And I concur with Percy's statement. What does it matter that my child is dating yours?"

Athena glared. "I don't what Annabeth with a mini Poseidon."

Percy stepped in. "I'm sorry Mrs. Chase, but I am my own person. Just because my dad and you aren't best friends, doesn't mean I'm just like him. I would never do anything to intentionally make you angry, but if Annabeth wants to, I will date her."

Annabeth nodded. "And I do want it," She held onto Percy's arm, "We've already decided we want to be together for as long as we can."

Athena stared astounded at her daughter. Then she glared at both Jackson's.

"Fine. But know this Perseus, I do not approve of your relationship with my daughter."

She stormed off leaving Percy confused and Annabeth angry. Poseidon sighed. "I'm sorry this feud between us is affecting you. If it's any consolation, I approve of the relationship." He smiled at his son and walked back over to his shared table with Hades.

Annabeth faced Percy. "You sure this isn't going to make you hate me?"

Percy looked at her shocked. "Of course not! In fact, I feel quite the opposite for you."

She smiled. "And what would that be?"

"You know, for a Wise Girl, you're not very smart."

"Coming from a Seaweed Brain?"

"Touché."

Annabeth grinned and snaked her arms around his neck. She pressed her lips to his in a passionate kiss. Percy responded and kissed back with as much love as he could muster.

They pulled away, breathing heavily and smiling hugely.

Percy looked over to the dance floor and saw many couples dancing: Thalia and Nico, Jason and Piper, Silena and Beckendorf, Bianca and Malcolm, and many others.

"Would you like to dance?" He asked.

Annabeth smiled. "Of course."

So, he brought them over to the dance floor and wrapped his arms around her waist. Annabeth put hers around his neck and played with the little tufts of black hair in the back.

She rested her head on his and sighed happily.

"Who would have thought that this had happened because of a pair of Converse?"

Annabeth smiled and kissed him again. Percy responded greatly. She pulled away and they both whispered the three words they both loved to hear.

And they continued to share their Converse for a long, long time.

Well, that's it. Hope you liked it!

I know it was a terrible writing, but I swear I've gotten better!
