Percy finally wiped the sticky mess on his face.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked him.

"Oh, nothing." He looked at me. "Annabeth, I've been meaning to tell you..."

"Yeah?"

"About that time in the Underworld. I did something really regret. Look, I'm really sorry that I got mad and just walked away. I'm really sorry. I promise you that I'll never leave you again." His voice cracked a little. "I could have lost... You could have..."

I took his hand and squeezed it. "I know."

He gave me a grateful smile.

Then I squeezed even harder. "But you better not leave like that again or the Underworld monsters will be the least of your problems. Get it?"

"Yeah, I got it. ...Seriously, Annabeth. I got it! Ow! Annabeth!" Percy yelped. "I promise! I promise! Just let go!"

I let go of his hand. He flexed it, trying to let the blood circulate again. I grinned.

"Nice grip." He muttered.

I just smiled.

Then I looked out the window. "It's mind-blowing, what we just did. I mean, bringing someone from the Underworld. It's never been done."

Percy smiled. "We're demigods. That's what we do."

A/N... The End...

But if you want another sequel to this, I suggest you go on and share this story to your friends, and maybe review more chapters. Because if I go past my goal, I write more for this.
