The next morning, Percy lies watching his bride sleep. It has all been worth it to get to this, he thinks to himself, when Tyson taps softly on the door.

"Yeah," Percy calls out softly to his brother.

"Are you and Annabeth coming to breakfast?" his brother asks through the door.

"You bet, I just need to wake Sleeping Beauty," Percy tells him.

"Annabeth will be mad if she finds her in there with you," Tyson says with a chuckle.

"Very funny little brother," Percy says then kisses Annabeth to wake her.

"Hi handsome," she says, as she opens her eyes.

"We need to get going," he says. She grumbles a little bit then climbs from bed. The three of them head to breakfast once Percy and Annabeth are ready. Jason and Piper are leaving for California just after breakfast and they want to make sure they get a chance to say their goodbyes.

"Do you think you'll make it to Camp Jupiter any this summer?" Jason asks Percy while they stand waiting for breakfast to start.

"I'm not sure, but if there is any way we can swing it, we will. I'm still not allowed to fly you know," Percy tells him.

"I'm sorry Dad is being a jerk about that," Jason tells him then, as he expected, thunder sounds in the distance. "You know you are," Jason says looking at the sky. "Everyone would love to see you. You'll always be a praetor. That doesn't change," Jason continues.

"Thanks Jason. Please let everyone know I miss them and look forward to visiting again," Percy says, as Annabeth and Piper join them.

"I wish you guys could stay here," Annabeth says giving Jason a big hug, "but I know you are needed there."

"We'll stay in touch," Piper says hugging Percy, "Promise."

"You'll tell Ella I said hello?" Tyson say wanting to make sure he doesn't forget to ask them.

"You bet," Jason says, "She misses you."

"I miss her, but it would never work, Ella and me. She can't live under water and I need live there," he says sadly.

"She understands that, but she still misses you," Piper tell Tyson then squeezes his hand.

"You're welcome to come see us at camp and visit her anytime you want, remember that," Jason tells him.

"Thank you," Tyson says then takes a quick swipe under his eye like he's wiping away a tear. Soon they are all called to breakfast.

Once breakfast is finished and they see Jason and Piper off to the airport, Percy grabs his brother and walks him toward the beach. "You seemed pretty sad at breakfast. I know that was missing Ella. If you want to wait before you meet Shelly, I understand," Percy tells his brother.

"No, I am fine. I miss Ella but have to go on with life," Tyson says.

"Well then," Percy says then wades into the water and looks toward the bottom. When he see who he is looking for, he motions for her to come to him using his index finger in a come here fashion. In a matter of seconds, Shelly comes from the water, like Percy, she is completely dry.

"Yes my Lord," she says then bows to him.

"I told you that you don't have to do that," he reminds her.

"Yes my Lord," she says again with a smile.

"Tyson, this is Shelly," Percy says making the introduction, "Shelly, my brother Tyson."

"Hello General Tyson," she says then bows to Tyson.

Tyson just looks at Percy not knowing what to do.

"He won't go out with you if you don't stop bowing to him," Percy tells her.

Shelly instantly stands up straight then takes Tyson's hand.

"Are we going on our date now," she asks with a hopeful smile.

Tyson looks to his brother, as if for permission.

"You're grown General. You can do whatever you want," Percy says with a smile.

"I'll see you later," Tyson says with a grin then submerges with Shelly.

"Just be home before the Harpies come out," Percy yells after them.

When Percy gets back to the cabin, Annabeth is in their bedroom, putting clothes away. "We're alone," he says putting his arms around her waist and kissing her neck.

"Where's Tyson," she asks.

"Out with Shelly," he says kissing her again.

"I have something I want to show you," she says now turning in his arms to face him.

"Is this the alternative place we can have sex?" he asks playfully.

"Well, we don't need to now, but yes," she says and takes his hand. He's surprised when she leads him back to the beach.

"I don't know if I can control a bubble and make love to you at the same time," he says then kisses her. She doesn't say anything. Instead she starts walking into the water with him.

"You're dry," he says when he puts his hand on her butt, a butt that is already submerged in water. She continues to walk farther out into the water.

When they go under she finally says, "I love you," then kisses him.

"I don't understand," he says in shock.

"You're Dad gave me a wedding gift," she explains.

"Oh my gods," he says then grins. "Thank you Dad," he says to the open water. A wave crashes over their heads to say you're welcome. Percy leads his girl out to deeper water then makes love to her.
