Hello everyone to my first Fanfiction ever! I'll hopefully be able to update weekly, but maybe not at times. And yes, I own PJO and HOO…in my dreams, at least… Also, I'm best friends with a bear named Carlos! Criticism is appreciated, but no need to be rude.

(Third Person POV)

Percy, Frank, and Hazel stepped out of the Senate building, following behind the terrified centurions and Reyna.

"So, what are your friends like?" Hazel asked, scooping up an emerald the size of a baseball off the street.

Thinking for a moment, Percy was about to answer when the three heard a yell up ahead. Racing ahead, they found that the scream came from Terminus, who looked like he'd seen a ghost that wasn't from the Legion.

"That ship has broken…so…many…rules," moaned the OCD border god. "When I get my hands on those rule flouters, I'll—I'll—"

"Whoa, Terminus," Percy said quickly. "Can you not kill them? They're kind of my friends."

Hazel and Frank nodded their heads behind Percy, hoping the god won't blast Camp Half- Blood out of the sky.

After a few moments, Terminus cried out, "Well, why didn't you say so? I would never destroy friends of yours, Praetor Jackson!"

The three quickly said their thanks and rushed over to the Fields of Mars. They were just in time to see a girl get out of the warship. Three others were standing in a row, Octavian yelling at them and calling them spies.

(Percy POV)

I felt my heart leap to my throat when I saw a girl with curly blonde hair and stormy gray eyes exit the ship. "Annabeth…" I said quietly.

She was definitely way more beautiful than I last remembered. Mentally shaking myself, I stalked over to Octavian.

"Octavian! You have no right to make false accusations!"

Sneering, he replied, "Whatever you say, praetor."

Watching him walk back into the crowd, I didn't brace myself when something rammed into me from the front. I held onto Annabeth as she shook a little in my arms.

"Percy…" she sighed, sounding extremely relieved.

"Hey, don't cry," I murmured, pulling her chin up to look at me. "You know I would never forget you, right?"

Nodding her head slightly, Annabeth beamed at me and said, "Thank the gods you're okay, Seaweed Brain."

Smiling, I leaned in and kissed her, which felt like it lasted for hours, though it was probably only a couple seconds. Breaking apart, Annabeth held my hand and we turned to look at the others.

"Romans, return to your activities," Reyna ordered.

Motioning to the rest of us, we followed her to the Via Praetoria. I had to partially drag Annabeth to Reyna's office, since she was gaping at the buildings. Once everyone was inside, Reyna shut the door and motioned for us to sit in the chairs placed in front of her desk.

"I want everyone to say their names and godly heritage," she ordered, standing up. "I am Reyna, daughter of Bellona, praetor of Camp Jupiter."

I then stood and said calmly, "Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, praetor of Camp Jupiter, hero of Olympus."

The blonde guy sitting the farthest away from me then stood and announced, "Jason Grace, son of Jupiter, ex-praetor of Camp Jupiter." I couldn't help but feel a little guilty about taking his title.

A pretty girl with short, chocolate-brown hair and kaleidoscope eyes stood uneasily: "Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite."

The guy from the video message, the one who looked like Hazel's ex-boyfriend, gave crooked grin and said dramatically, "The name's Valdez, Leo Valdez. Son of the awesomest god, Hephaestus! "

Laughing a little, Annabeth rose: "I'm Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, hero of Olympus, and architect of Olympus." I gave her a proud look, and she blushed.

Frank and Hazel said their parentage and sat, the room becoming uncomfortably quiet.

Clearing her throat, Reyna picked up a book that was sitting on her desk.

"Ever since Percy said that your camp defended Mount Olympus during the Titan War, I wanted to learn more. When I arrived into my office this morning, I found this book sitting on my desk. It' called Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian. I believe we should read this aloud.

I paled a bit at the thought of everyone reading my thoughts aloud. Seeing my expression, everyone started laughing. Chuckling, Annabeth kissed my cheek and said wryly, "It's gonna be interesting to see what's going on in that kelp head of yours, Seaweed Brain."

Rolling my eyes, I groaned, "Let's get this over with. Reyna, can you start?"

Nodding, she opened the book.
