 Everybody watched in amazement as the water particles in the air formed a tall, solid trident just behind Selene. 

"But that shouldn't be possible. Only Poseidon can do that and that too with some difficulty." Ares sputtered.

"It was really difficult. It took all of my concentration to do that." Percy told him.

As Percy kept her thoughts clouded with lust for him (Piper could only imagine what was going off in her mind), Selene did not suspect a thing. Percy kissed her lower jaw one more time, careful to avoid her mouth as he could never do that to Annabeth, and plunged the trident deep into her back. The goddess let out a sharp gasp of surprise before disappearing in seconds.

"Go Perce." The Stolls cheered.

Once the wind spirits caught sight of their lady's plan failing, they surged forward in an attempt to attack Percy. However, he summoned a wave of water to sweep through them, forcing them out the door. Water was their enemy, as spirits of the sky. The domain they avoided most.

"That reaction is natural."

Twirling the ichor-covered trident in his hands, Percy coughed. "Well, that was awkward."

"Awkward is an understatement." Poseidon muttered.

Piper noticed Hazel fanning her face in an old-fashioned manner, not believing what she had seen, with Frank's large cheeks holding a very light shade of red. It must have been very awkward for him to see his best friend, big brother and role model in such a light, she thought. Piper, on the other hand, didn't really mind the show.

"Of course you didn't, you are a daughter of Aphrodite. It's in your genes to enjoy such shows." Apollo said.

"I swear to gods, Percy, if you ever do that again I will personally slap you into Hades!"

"Why is it always me?"

 Annabeth had strolled up to Percy and punched his arm, though she had this sort of dazed look in her eyes as if she was in awe of him. Piper nodded; she felt exactly the same way.

Percy just rolled his gorgeous eyes, let the trident dissolve back into the air before leaning in to whisper in her ear.

"Nah, she could never compare to you, Wise Girl." he whispered quietly before he gave Annabeth a slow, soft kiss making Piper's Aphrodite heart sing. She looked away to give them privacy and felt someone move up next to her. She felt someone stand next to her and before even glancing at who it was, she knew it was Jason. He grabbed her hand with his rough, calloused one and gave her a slight smile. She loved Jason. More than he would ever know, however as she looked at Percy with his trademark trouble-maker smile, soft black hair and stunning ocean eyes, she sighed to herself.

A girl can dream.

"I don't have to dream. I have him right here." Annabeth muttered.

Months later in the dining pavillion, Piper stared not-so-subtly at Percy Jackson. He was a 6'2" ridiculously handsome young man who had defeated countless gods and titans, yet, he was making a little daughter of Demeter laugh by contorting his proud features into funny faces.

"Her name's Ella McGreen. She's 9. That was her second day at camp. She's small for her age. About 3 feet and weighs 38 pounds." Percy commented.

"How do you know that?" Demeter asked.

"Oh, I rescued her from her abusive uncle you see. Her father died when she was 8. She was sent off to live with her bachelor uncle. I was around in the area, so I took care of the uncle. Told her to hide. Then I snapped his neck. Broke his ribs. Cracked his nose. Split open his skull. Gave her something to eat as she was recovering. I explained her heritage to her. I wanted to bring her to the Hunters of Artemis but she denied and said that she didn't want to go there. She wanted to be recover and wanted proof that not all boys were the same. The best way to do that was to be around boys and said that if she went to the Hunters, she wouldn't ever recover from that. She is smart, the little one."

The Hunters of Artemis were astounded that such a male existed, while Demeter looked at Percy in gratitude.

"Fates, I know you're listening. Can we go back to our time now?" Percy shouted.

"Yes, we will teleport you back to your time now. Good luck in the future."

With that, the Fates flashed out. A couple minutes later, a huge flash blinded everyone and the demigods and hunters went back to their original time. 

Years later, Thalia and Nico are still trying to make up to Percy but Percy ignores them. Nico and Thalia live with guilt knowing that their actions made them lose Percy-arguably the best friend everyone has.
