Percy and Annabeth pushed each other around, trying to get to the mailman, eager to find out their scores. Percy was beyond nervous when taking the SATs, he kept tapping his foot, fiddling with Riptide – his trusted sword, transformed into a pen he carried everywhere, in case of an attack, and for support rather than writing – and accidentally made the plumbing in the fountain outside the school errupt. Annabeth kept assuring him that everything would be fine before the test, and Percy felt somewhat confident, but as soon as they parted ways, his nervousness kicked in. He has been restless the past few days, waiting for results. Now all that separated him from the score was an envelope.

Sally took the two envelopes from the very confused mailman and handed them to Percy and Annabeth. Now that he held it in his hand, he suddenly didn't want to open it. He glanced at Annabeth, who looked exactly like him – hesitant. She glanced up at him, and it was as if she read his mind.

„You open mine, I'll open yours?" she suggested. Percy nodded frantically and they switched envelopes.

„Okay, one... two... three!" he counted down and they both ripped the envelopes open, unfolding the papers inside. Percy's eyes widened at Annabeth's score, and he looked back at her, a grin on his face. Annabeth's eyes sparkled and a huge smile spread over her face as she looked up at him.

„1080!" Annabeth shouted at the same time Percy cried out, „1590!"

„WHAT?!" they screamed at the same time. Percy flashed her her report and she ripped it out of his hands, giving him his own. She wasn't joking, he had a score of 1080! Annabeth looked back at him, her smile growing even bigger. She squealed and threw her arms around Percy's neck as he lifted her up and spun her around. They both laughed like maniacs. Annabeth swept the floor. And Percy actually did pretty good!

„New Rome, here we come!" Percy exclaimed as he set her down. The University there actually didn't really care about their score, as it is a school for demigods inclusively, and they could enroll as long as they graduated high school. But still, they both wanted to and did amazing.

„Congratulations you two!" Sally hugged them both.

„Celebratory pizza's on me!" Paul appeared in the hallway. They all grabbed their jackets and went to Annabeth and Percy's favorite pizza place.

When they had returned home, Percy and Annabeth retreated to their room and IMed the Camp. They contacted Chiron first, and it just so happened that dinner was taking place.

„Percy, Annabeth, what a pleasant surprise!" said the kind-faced Centaur, „What can I do for you?"

„Nothing Chiron, we just called to brag," Annabeth smirked, „Our SAT scores came back!"

„And?" Chiron asked eagerly.

„1080 and 1590!" Percy exclaimed. From what they could see, the Camp erupted in applause.

„That is amazing, you two. When you come back, a celebration would be in order. And I am sure Reyna will be glad to know you will be coming to New Rome next semester," Chiron smiled.

„Thank you!" Annabeth smiled cheekily, „We'll leave you to your dinner now. Oh and we'll be coming back sometime next week probably."

Chiron nodded and Annabeth swiped her hand through the IM. The demigod couple lounged on Percy's small bed, eating chips and laughing like maniacs, imagining what they would do when they get to New Rome in a couple of months. Just to think that at that time last year, Percy didn't even know who he was, and thought he would die every ten minutes, and that Annabeth was looking for him without even knowing if he was alive; or the fact that a life like the one they had and were about to have was just a distant dream as they trudged through the Pit of Hell.
