Percy and Annabeth stood on top of a cliff, overlooking the West coast.

They had traveled there through the ocean (with the help of Poseiden) to watch the sunset over the ocean.

It was the perfect moment.

Peaceful atmosphere,

A nice picnic,

Just the two of them.

"Hey Annabeth." Percy said.

"Yeah?"

"I was just wondering...um...what are we going to do now? Yeah,Gaea and Kronos are gone but....well I hate to say it but if the world needs to be saved again I'm not doing it. I've already done it a couple times I don't want to do it again." Percy said. Annabeth laughed.

"Well. Next year we'll both be adults. We could get our own place. Plus there's college." Annabeth said. Percy frowned.

"How are we going to find an apartment that won't attract monsters?" Percy asked. Annabeth smiled and kissed his cheek.

"We'll find something. New Rome is still an option." She said.

Percy smiled, remembering telling her about his idea about a life in New Rome. Then his thoughts briefly flashed to his experience in Tartarus.

He shuddered.

Annabeth grabbed his hand and squeezed it for reassurance, as she was having the same thoughts. He looked at her and smiled. Then frowned.

"Your still having nightmares aren't you?" Annabeth asked. Percy nodded.

"I can talk to Reyna about getting a place in New Rome if you'd like." Annabeth said. Percy looked onto the Horizon.

"I don't want to leave the baby. I want her to know she has an older brother. And I can't do that if I live on the other side of the country." Percy said. Annabeth frowned, but nodded understandingly.
