A week later came Fourth of July. Annabeth and Percy arrived at Camp Half Blood to find Jason and Piper standing at the entrance, holding hands and laughing. When Piper saw Annabeth she immediately charged her with a hug. Jason also was surprised to see Percy and hugged him. "Percy bro! It has been so long. What's going on?"

Percy laughed. "Nothing much really, we just finished our second year of college in New Rome."

Percy looked over at Annabeth to see she was still talking to Piper. Percy lowered his voice as he continued. "And... uh, well," Percy tugged at the collar of his shirt. "I am thinking about proposing to Annabeth after the fireworks. I want to do it IN the lake, underwater, because that is where we had our first real kiss as boyfriend and girlfriend." Percy glanced over at Annabeth again to make sure she wasn't listening. Thankfully, she was still with Piper. Annabeth met Percy's gaze and smiled, then continued her conversation with Piper.

When Percy looked back at Jason, his mouth was wide open. "Dude this is huge! I am so excited for you! Wait... Bro. Bro. I am so going to be your best man."

Percy smiled, "Yeah, sure thing, but will you keep your voice down. "

"Sorry." Jason was smiling like crazy. He gave Percy a bear hug. "Well, I give you the best of luck my friend-". Before Jason could finish what he was saying, he was interrupted by a bronze dragon landing right in front of him and Percy.

"Awe man. Did the party start without me? Already?" said a familiar voice.

"Leo!" Jason ran up to Leo and hugged him. Percy did the same.

Three years ago, Leo was the one who canon balled himself at Gaea, causing not only everyone to thing Gaea was dead, but Leo too. Leo had been resurrected by the Physician's Cure. He returned to Camp Half Blood about two months after the incident, making so many people greet him with hugs and tears of happiness. There was a huge party to celebrate Leo's reappearance with his new friend Calypso, who was stranded on the island of Ogygia for many millennia. Ever since then, Leo was treated with great respect by everyone. Some of the younger campers even looked up to him as a godly figure.

Leo helped someone get down from Festus's back. Calypso. Calypso glared at Percy.

"Hello again Percy."

Percy smiled at Calypso. "Good to see you again." Percy remembered back to when he got blasted out of Mount St. Helens and landed on the island of Ogygia, where he met Calypso. He remembered the promise he made to her that he would tell the Gods to free her from her curse. Percy has seen her before now, but every time he did see her, a wave of guilt flooded his entire body.

"Percy!" said a familiar voice. He turned around to see Frank and Hazel running towards him. He hugged both of them and smiled.

Everyone made small talk among themselves until Chiron spoke. "Everyone please be seated. Before we begin, i would first like to say something to honor some of the best heroes we have ever had at camp. These seven heroes defeated Gaea, the earth goddess and joined Camp Half Blood and Camp Jupiter in alliance. To mend peace among Greeks and Romans. These demigods not only saved the camps, but saved the whole world from Gaea's wrath, facing many obstacles along the way." He glanced at Percy and Annabeth, who were holding hands in the back of the dinning pavilion next to the other demigods. He smiled then continued his announcement. "Those demigod heroes are none other than Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Jason Grace, Leo Valdez, Hazel Levesque, Piper McLean, and Frank Zhang. These heroes would not have been able to make this mission possible without the help from the brave heroes Nico di Angelo, Reyna Avila Ramirez Arellano, and many others like Thalia Grace and the hunters of Artemis, Grover Underwood, Tyson, Ella, and so many more. Everyone at Camp Half Blood would like to dedicate this night to everyone who was apart of The Giant War. "

All the campers roared with excitement, most raising their glasses to them. Leo raised his hands and bowed to the crowd. Calypso laughed and rolled her eyes. "Hot stuff Leo Valdez still has it, ladies and gentlemen."
