Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
'The one that makes me scream,' she said
'The one that makes me laugh,' she said
And threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you, I promise that I'll run away with you, I'll run away with you

    Percy remembered Y/n clearly. He remembered her everyday, and his favorite memory of her was when he first showed her his powers. Before the pair were swept up into saving the world.
They were fooling around in the baseball field near Percy's apartment, procrastinating on their homework when he decided to show her.
    It was simple, drawing the water from the ponds nearby, and making it evaporate as quickly as he had beckoned it. She was amazed, her e/c eyes sparkling with curiosity as she begged him to show her how to perform his trick.
    In response, he playfully flicked a spray of salt water in her direction, making her scream and scramble to get out of its path. He remembered the touch of her slender fingers as she punched him back gently, pouting.                                                                                                         He frowned, hating to see her upset, even if it was a mocking pout. In a moment, he sent the water to her once again, but in the form of her favorite animal. It danced around her and she spun around, making the world laugh along with her.                                                                           It faded all too soon and Y/n ran back to him, flinging her arms around his neck, and squealing as he picked her up and twirled her in the air. As the afternoon faded into dusk and all their fears returned to them, they clung to each other sadly. Y/n burrowed further into his chest before looking up at him with a sad smile. "If you show me how you do it, I promise that I'll run away with you."

Spinning on that dizzy edge, I kissed her face and I kissed her head                                                              And dreamed of all the different ways I had to make her glow                                                                         'Why are you so far away,' she said, 'Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you, that I'm in love with you?'

    The day before they were taken to Camp Half-Blood, Percy and Y/n had performed one of their disappearing acts, taken an excursion to a cliff overlooking the sea. All this courtesy to Y/n's new power to melt into the shadows and appear again wherever she desired.               
     That last day with her he cherished. He took his best friend's face in his hands and kissed her cheek hesitantly, awaiting her approval and reaction. She beamed at him, her face glowing due to the salt water air as he kissed her face and head.                                                                                   
He began to think how to make her smile and laugh, sensing the time he had left with her was limited. She asked why he was so far away, taking her hand in his and whispered how she loved him into his warm embrace.                       

You, soft and only                                                                                                                                         You, lost and lonely                                                                                                                                     You, strange as angels                                                                                                                                   Dancing in the deepest oceans, twisting in the water                                                                          You're just like a dream, you're just like a dream

    Before Percy walked her home that night, he told her how she looked like to him, sensing he had to do it before it was too late. He began with taking her hand and telling her how everything about her was so soft and kind, but also smart and guarded. That he was so honored she had chosen to let him through her defenses. Told her she was his only, even though both of them were lost and lonely without each other. That she may be strange (they both were, they were demigods, after all!) according to other people, but that she was as strange as an angel to him. Too beautiful and ethereal for the world to understand. He saw her with him in his element, the water, gracing it with her presence.  He told her she was just like a dream to him. Just like a dream.

Daylight licked me into shape, I must've been asleep for days                             
And moving lips to breathe her name, I opened up my eyes                                                   
I found myself alone, alone, alone above a raging sea                                                                 
That stole the only girl I loved and drowned her deep inside of me

    Percy woke up, daylight blinding him, but couldn't shake the feeling that during the time he was asleep, he had lost something he needed. Something that was vital to him. The first word he spoke was her name. He asked a girl with hair spun from gold where Y/n was. The girl bit her lip. He knew what had happened. Y/n had not made it to the Camp.

You, soft and only                                                                                                                                                                   You, soft and lonely                                                                                                                                                               You, just like Heaven
