ANNABETH WAS SHELL-SHOCKED. STANDING in front her was her childhood friend, her first crush, her adoptive brother. Her hero.

His icy blue eyes widened, and he took two steps back.

"A-Annabeth?" His voice was shaky.

She shook her head and pinched herself,. This is not real.....This is not real....Luke was reborn....This is just a vision.

She opened her eyes. Nothing had changed but the now-throbbing pinch mark on her arm. Then she thought of something.

Looking a      t him, she asked, "Luke, what's the password?"

He looked at her, suspicion in his eyes. "Jellybean."

A long time ago, when they had just gotten away from the cyclop's house, they decided on a password. It determined whether or not the person was a vision, or someone else's voice.

She nodded, that was right. Here was the real test. "What was it's color?"

He began to back up again. "No," He murmured, lifting his sword and pointing it at her. "Stop fooling with my head, Gaea! I will never work for you!" His voice boomed around the cavern. Annabeth began to back up as well. In sync, they both tripped over something. Luke on a rock, and Annabeth on Percy's foot. She fell hard onto his ankle, and Percy gasped in pain

That got the attention of Luke, who was slowly standing up.

Annabeth sprung up, and whipped around to face Luke. She marched over to him(as much as she could with a giant plastic blob on her ankle) and locked her hands on his shoulders. He turned his face away, refusing look her in the eye.

As forcefully as she could, she said, "Luke, pay attention. The Jellybean was blue. I am real. Percy and I fell down here while fighting the monster Achene. We were on a quest in Rome, with the seven demigods of the prophesy."

He finally met her eyes, stormy gray locking with icy blue. "I.......I believe you."

She gasped in relief, and tackled him in a bear hug. "I've missed you."

He seemed rather surprised at first, and then eventually hugged her back. "I'm still dead, you know."

Annabeth let go of him and asked, "How did you come to be down here?"

He took a deep breath, and began. "Just like the Olympians,my soul came be in many places at once. A part of my soul was reborn, and is now in some other kid in the living world. I think it was Jack, or something. Another part of my soul was cast down here, because of the evil things I had done."

He looked behind her. Shock rippled through his face. "Is that.......Percy?"

She nodded, and gulped. "Yeah. he took full hit for me. I have no idea how he is still alive."

Luke looked at her. "Doesn't he have the Curse still?"

She shook her head and said, "No. When he walked into New Rome, the river washed it away. He should be dead right now, though. Do you have nectar or ambrosia?"

He blinked and pulled out  a rumpled-looking backpack. "I found this about 3 yards that way- He pointed north. "-and its full of the stuff. We should probably fix him up."

She gasped. "You found my backpack! Oh, thank goodness!" She grabbed it and opened the zipper, peering inside. She saw  about 20 squares of ambrosia, two vials of nectar, her dagger, and the laptop. She frowned. She didn't have that much before.......So where did it come form?

As if it could hear her thoughts, a voice whispered through the cavern. Use it wisely. I have barely been able to keep him alive. Take  good care of my son, Annabeth. He needs you.

It faded into the dark, and all that was left was the sound of waves and the smell of salty air. Oh, she thought. So someone is listening.

She shook her head and knelled next to Percy, motioning to Luke. She handed a vial to  Luke, and flipped Percy so he was on his side. He groaned and opened one eye very slowly. His eyes seemed to have their natural glow back. His focus flicked over to Luke, and then down to the vial in his hand.

  He laughed weakly and shut his eye, saying, "You definitely know you are hallucinating when unicorns are dancing around your head singing the banana song, and your old enemy is standing in front of you with a  sword in one hand and a jar of chocolate covered pickles in another."

Luke and Annabeth looked at each other with surprised looks on their faces, and then both burst out laughing.

After wiping tears off their faces and taking deep breaths, Annabeth and Luke set to work on fixing Percy.

She knelt down and was about to pour nectar onto his back when a strong hand stopped her. Luke took the vile from her hand, put it back in the backpack and pulled out a little water bottle. "It will clean it, and from what I have heard from the monsters around here, It will heal him too." He said.

She face-palmed. "Duh! I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking."

She frowned as Luke gasped in mock shock  and said, "Annabeth wasn't thinking! What has happened to the world?!" She pushed him away  playfully and poured a handful of water on Percy's back.

Luke watched in amazement as Percy's skin flowed together, connecting and filling in scrapes and cuts. Bruises disappeared as if they had never existed, and the bone made a slight crack as it popped in place. Dirt and grime washed off his back in torrents, and gashes were reduced to red rashes on his tan, well-muscled back. Now Annabeth was staring at Percy in shock. His powers really have increased, she thought. Before, it would only heal small cuts.

The water whisked over his stomach and face, restoring his skin and turning him back into the handsome boyfriend she loved.

Luke and Annabeth just sat there.

"Wow."

Was all that she could say. It just summed everything all up.

The quest. The fight between her and the spider lady. The fall. Luke. Percy.

Percy.

Her boyfriend was alive.

Luke. 

Her brother was back.

Life is good.

So my evil pink bunnies..........

HOW WAS IT!?!??

I just HAD to throw Luke back in there. It makes it a lot more exciting :P

But NO, there will be no "Do you still love Luke" or "I choose you, Luke" or Percabeth break-ups.

NO SIR.

***PERCABETH IS SOLID, AND SHALL NEVER BE SHATTERED***
