***Annbeth POV***

Annabeth let Percy give her ride home from the dance. They were sitting outside her house in his car warming up next to the heater.

"I love you, Seaweed Brain, and don't you ever forget that" Annabeth said with a kiss. She got out of his car and waved goodbye for the last time.

She went up to her room and took off her soaking wet dress and changed into pajamas. She laid in her bed and stared up at the ceiling. Tears welled up in her eyes. "It's the best for him, it's the best for him" she kept telling herself.


***Percy POV***

He watched as Annabeth closed the door until he finally drove away. He drove back to the school, where everyone left to go to the after prom, to meet the homeless guy.

"ready ?" He asked.

Percy nodded.

They drove, and drove for hours.

" I never caught your name" Percy said to the guy sitting next to him

"Grover" he said, "and we've been watching you for a while. Most Greek demigods go to camp half-blood, but I think you're too old. It's strange no monsters have attacked you until recently. Anyways New Rome has a college, and we believed it's the best place you. Romans and Greeks used to not get along, but after a recent chain of events, things are changing for the better."

More hours later Percy asked "Are we in California?"

"Yup" said Grover "and we're also pretty close to New Rome"


***Annabeth POV***

Her dreams were strange that night. There was this lady dressed in white, who looked like Athena in one of her Greek myth books.

"Annabeth, Annabeth sweetheart, wake up."

She woke up with a startle. "Mom?!" She said "You're...Athena!?"

"So it seems" her mother said with a smile. "Oh look how you've grown, to the beautiful young lady I've always knew you'd be. "

"Wait so, if you're Athena... That makes me..." Annabeth started

"A demigod" her mother finished "you're a demigod just like Percy."

"This can't be true" said Annabeth. "It just can't. Watch, I'm going to slap myself and this is all going to have been a dream." Annabeth slapped herself several times.

She woke up. Normal in her bed. "Thank goodness it was only a dream" she said.

Suddenly, she was really thirsty. She went to the bathroom to get a drink and decided to look in the mirror. A symbol appeared over her head. She really was a demigod!
