Aftermath-Percabeth

Chapter Sixty-Two

"Finally, the house all to ourselves!" Annabeth said as she opened up the front door of their new house. "No kids, and we both have the day off! How strange."

Percy nodded in agreement and followed her inside. "What do you wanna do?"

"Oh, you know what I wanna do," Annabeth responded, a small smirk on her face.

"Nap?" Percy asked.

"How did you know?" Annabeth asked as they walked through our house. "First do you wanna have some food other than chicken nuggets or macaroni and cheese?"

Percy stared. "What? No, way, Annabeth. You know those are my favorite foods. And who says macaroni and cheese? You're scaring me."

Annabeth rolled her eyes before heading into the kitchen, Percy on her heels. Then she noticed a letter waiting for them on the counter.

"Did you get the mail already?" Annabeth asked as she picked up the letter, which had no writing on it. "Wait, what....?"

Percy joined her side and squinted at the letter. "No, why? Where did this come from?"

Annabeth shrugged. "Only one way to find out...."

She meticulously pulled open the letter, careful not to make any serious rips, almost causing Percy to scream.

Once it was opened she pulled out a handwritten letter that had handwriting on it almost exact to Marina's.

"Leo was here," Percy decided as he snatched the letter from Annabeth. "This is his handwriting."

Annabeth snatched the letter back. "Here, let me read it...."

"'Dear Percabeth, it is I, Leo. Yes, I have broken into your home again. And yes, I plan on doing it again.'"

"Again?!" Percy asked suspiciously as he peered at the door.

"Should we get a home security system?" Annabeth suggested.

Percy shrugged. "Probably. Anyways, continue...."

"'I know you're probably all sad since I believe it is Marina's first day of school. So stop weeping and join me, Calypso, Piper, Jason, Reyna (yes she'll be in town), Nico, and Will for a mini reunion. Another Argo II reunion party!'"

"A mini reunion?" he asked. "And Reyna's going to be in town? Why didn't Piper and Jason tell us about this?"

"'Anyways, I know you BOTH have the first Saturday of next month off. How? I called your work. Also all your fellow demigods have received a similar letter left on their counters. So do not fear. Hope to see you there, noon! Bring your kids or whatever you'd like. Yours in demigodness and all that, Leo.'"

"He called my work?" Annabeth asked with narrowed eyes as she placed the letter back down on the counter. "I can't believe him, I swear—"

"Calm down, he had good intentions," Percy assured her. "I just wish he would've called. Or maybe, I dunno, not broken into our house?"

Annabeth laughed and walked into their living room, Percy at her heels. "That's not Leo's fashion, and you know that. I suppose it will be nice to catch up with everyone, though."

The two sat down on their couch, both peering off into space.

"So....this is boring," Percy noted as she stretched and sat up. "Since when did we become boring people?"

"I know, right? I don't know," she replied. "I mean, we found the Golden Fleece! And Zeus's master bolt. We went to the underworld for gods sake!"

Percy laughed and wrapped an arm around her, pulling her closer to him. "Well, we just have to accept it. We're old, boring parents now."

Annabeth rolled her eyes and broke free from his grasp. "Whatever. Maybe I can work from home today...."

"How long until they're back yet?" Percy asked. "I kinda miss them...."

"And that's bad? Opposed to hating them?" Annabeth asked, which caused Percy to smirk at her. Then she checked her watch. "Only around seven more hours..."

"Now I'm certainly excited for that reunion," commented Percy. "Something to do."

"You make us sound so old," Annabeth responded.

"It's a gift, really."
