"Pizza anyone?" Percy asked, his sea green eyes lighting up.

A bunch of people responded by grabbing the Hawaiian pizza Percy had opened up.

"Rachel?" Piper asked, handing me a piece of her vegetarian pizza.

"Thanks," I said, taking the pizza from her. She knew I was vegetarian as well.

She nodded. "Anything interesting in the oracle world?"

"Just Will coming by every day to rant about Nico," I replied.

"In a good way or a bad way?" She asked.

"Both. It alternates but it's mostly good," I say, taking another bite of pizza.

"Well the cave certainly looks amazing," Piper said, moving her eyes to all of my paintings in my cave.

"Thanks."

Her eyes caught one picture. It was a blonde boy with bright blue eyes. Jason. Piper looked like she was gonna cry.

"Hey," I said softly, "it'll be okay. He died a hero."

Leo happened to be listening in on our conversation. "I don't do goodbyes, but Jason deserved to not have to say goodbye to. He should've lived forever."

Percy butted in, "You don't know how hard it was for us to tell you he died. I honestly expected it to go way worse though."

"You better promise me that you don't die too, Jackson," Leo said.

"As long as you promise me."

"You promise me first." Leo argued.

"Promise me." Percy argued back.

"Why don't you just promise each other," Piper said.

"Fine," the two boys huffed simultaneously.

"Oh shoot, I forgot I told Beth to meet me by the lake," Percy said.

"Why?" I asked.

He pulled a box out of his pocket. "This is why," he said opening it up to see a gorgeous engagement ring.

"Ooooh she'll love it, man," Leo said, staring at the ring in awe.

We all agreed. "To Percabeth!" Leo shouted holding up his glass of water.

"To what?" Percy said, confused.

"Percabeth. It's your ship name," Leo grinned.

"Uh thanks?" He tossed us one of those famous Percy Jackson smiles before going to find his maybe fiancée.

About five minutes later, Percy came back holding Annabeth's hand slightly behind him. "Annabeth said yes!"

We all cheered and raised our glasses to Percy and Annabeth as Annabeth showed off her new ring to everyone even though most of us had already seen it.

Later, Percy came up to me and said, "did you know about these ship names?"

"Yeah," I chuckled, "Leo came up with them. Jason and Piper were Jasper. Him and Calypso are Caleo. Frank and Hazel are Frazel. There's a bunch more, too."

"Really? Do we have one?" He asked.

"Perachel," I said.

"That's stupid. I'd murder him but I'm too happy," he said before waving goodbye.

And that was the day I knew everything was gonna be okay.
