238A/N: I am finally not so lazy and busy to write what I think will be in the next Heroes of Olympus book! :P Ummm…. So what do you guys think of the ending of The Son of Neptune (If you ever see me say SoN, it equals Son of Neptune, and MoA is Mark of Athena!) I couldn't believe that Rick made us wait a whole year for it, then it turns out to be a cliffhanger, and then we have to wait a whole year for the next book! On this link it shows what the next two books after Mark of Athena will be called. (It is under the cover art to the right!

Sorry about the uber long author's note… well here's the story!
WAIT! I forgot something! I DO NOT OWN PERCY JACKSON OR THE HEROES OF OLYMPUS SERIES! Rick Riordan does!
On with the story now!
Annabeth POV
I looked out into the sky; San Francisco loomed in the distance. We had no time to spare, so I didn't even ask to stop. Leo and Jason stood at the front of the airborne ship, Jason telling Leo where to go. Piper stood next to me, both of use not saying one word to each other. I knew what Piper was afraid of; it was Reyna, who Jason remembered as his girlfriend a couple weeks back. A/N: If I have some mistakes on the stuff from the Lost Hero, it is because my copy of it is lost… so yeah, ignore if that ever happens! Sorry! Thoughts of Jason remembering Reyna probably raced through Piper's head, thinking that Jason would break up with her. I knew that I wasn't off the hook either. Percy could have not even remembered me, got a girlfriend, and could never think anything about me again. Thoughts like this made me shudder, and I told myself not to think of them again and be positive.
To make myself feel better, I grabbed my camp necklace and counted the beads even though I knew how many were there- nine. Piper jolted at my sudden movement, waking herself up from her own thoughts. I paid no attention to her; all I could think about was that almost half of my beads I had gotten when Percy was with me. Jason screamed at Leo, probably he had made a wrong turn- again. Suddenly Piper and I were knocked down as the ship took a sharp turn, narrowly missing a poor bird in manic Leo's path. I laughed out loud, "There should be a rule. You must have a driver's license to control the ship!" Everybody laughed, and in response Leo said, "It was the bird's fault! He should have watched where he was going! The dumb bird," Leo grumbled. Suddenly before any of us could respond, the ship literally dropped out of the sky. Jason told Leo that he didn't mean to really land right there. All of us held on for dear life, praying to the gods that the ship would break on impact.
"You dummy!" Piper shouted at Leo, "Can't you make it so we don't die before we meet the Romans!" Woosh! We were swept back into the sky. My grip loosened on the side of the boat. Three explanations on how we were saved:
1. Zeus had helped us.
2. Leo had suddenly learned how to drive a boat.
3. Jason had saved us.
Judging on these three choices, I pretty much knew for sure that it had not been number two, and if it was, it was a miracle. That would be like saying Grover didn't like tin cans, which was not possible. When I looked, Jason had taken over the boat, pushing Leo of to the side. Leo was muttering things under his breath, stuff like "I had it in control," and "Give other people a chance for once!" He looked like a mad four-year-old whose mom refused on buying him a lollipop with his arms crossed over his chest. Smoothly, unlike Leo, the boat landed. When we got off of the boat, still a little wobbly from the "Leo landing," we walked until we had a statue block our path. It had no arms and wasn't carved from the waist down. "Who are you guys?" he asked. None of us could answer, as we were still in shock that the statue could talk. A girl with shiny black hair woven into a braid stepped up to us. I didn't really get a good look at the small crowd of about five-ish people before she started talking and I turned my gaze to her. "Terminus, they are friends, according to Percy." My heart skipped a beat when she said Percy. So that Seaweed Brain did listen to me (and Grover, never forget Grover!) to stay in one place! I felt surprised because usually he would have wandered off, and found something else to do instead of listening to me! Interrupting my thoughts, Piper tapped me and she pointed to the statue, apparently know as Terminus, who was talking to me.
"Hello? Are you listening?" he asked me.
"Huh? Sorry I was thinking…" I replied. Jason, Piper and Leo snickered at this.
"Put your weapon in Julia's tray please." I looked at the little girl who was half the size of Terminus, who wasn't that tall.
"Are you sure that we should leave this-" Terminus abruptly interrupted, and told me that she was a trained professional. Yeah like she really was…. I did it anyway, hoping that the little girl wouldn't go wild and kill everybody with our weapons as we conversed with the Romans. I looked up and saw Percy. He was in a purple cloak, one that matched the other girl who told Terminus that we were friends. The first thing I said was, "You look like a dork wearing that. I could see her," pointing to the girl, "wearing that, but you, no way!"
I hope you liked it!
