A/N: Merry Christmas, everyone. (Or what you celebrate.) Here's your present!

Percy's PoV

This is going to be a great party. What kind of party? A holiday party.
Mom is making cookies and gingerbread houses, Leo invited a "friend," and all of my friends are here.

We were all sitting in the living room, just talking, when the doorbell rang.

Leo jumped up, "I'll get it!"

Seconds later we heard a girl's voice, "Leo! You seem excited."

We heard Leo say, "Well duh I'm excited, Crystal, we're having a party!"

This caused a bubbly laugh to escape the girl, who had straight blonde hair and blue eyes. She had this simple kind of grace around her, like the elves from those movies Frank had us watch with him, The Lord of the Rings, I think.

"Everyone this is Crystal Moon, Crystal this is Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Jason Grace, Piper McLean, Frank Zhang, Hazel Levesque, Conner Stoll, Travis Stoll, Katie Gardner, Will Jackson, Pippin Ashman, Alexis Wynn, Alex Wynn, Jeremiah Price or JP, Robby McManus, and Skylar Jones," Leo said gesturing to each person.

"That's a lot of people," Crystal commented.

Holly stood up pouting, "Not only is that a lot of people, but he forgot me!"

Crystal chuckled, "Well, let's get this party started!"

Laughs and shouts were heard as Grover spun the same thing on his dreidel...for the seventeenth time in a row.

Grover just stared at it, "How does that even happen?"

I shrugged, "You're just too cool for the other ones, G-man."

That caused Grover to bleat, "Bla-ha-ha-ha! Yeah right!"

Crystal raised an eyebrow, "Why'd he sound like a goat?"

"He didn't," was Leo's "smart" response.

"...whatever," she shook it off.

"Let's play Dirty Santa now," Alexis suggested.

Holly smiled,"Okay! Take a number!"

Bye the end of the game, Annabeth had gotten about fifty cases of bubbles, Leo had cheap perfume, and Will got a bunch of makeup.

"That was cool, but Percy, I got you an actual gift," Annabeth turned to me and gave me a blue package.

"I thought we agreed not to get each other gifts," I said.

"Well too bad, open the present," Annabeth teased.

I smiled when I saw it, it was a picture of Annabeth, Grover, and me right before our first quest. I was about to thank her when it changed, I watched as it went through pictures of the time we spent together.

"Wise Girl..." I didn't know what to say, how could I? This was too good...

"Shut up, Seaweed Brain, I wanted to do this," Annabeth wrapped her arms around me.

I lightly pushed her away, "I haven't given you your gift yet."

"Seaweed Brain..." Annabeth developed a warning tone to her voice.

"Here," I said as I gave her the small, rectangular box.

Her eyes widened as she saw the small, silver, heart shaped locket.

When she opened it, I could tell she read the engraving because her eyes watered up, well, that and the fact that she read it aloud, "As long as we're together."

She stared at me for a moment before pulling me into a kiss, "I love you, Seaweed Brain."

"I love you too, Wise Girl."
