Dear Mom,
Could you please stop asking me to stop dating Percy at all? Do you even know why I love him at all? I know, he's the opposite of almost everything I believe my boyfriend should be, actually. My boyfriend is supposed to be smarter than me, likes what I like and most importantly, love me more than anything. He's definitely not smarter than me, he don't like architecture nor reading books. But he loves me more than anything, and he is not totally stupid, not when we are in Tartarus, he was the one who kept me sane at all. He is the only one that is ever angry for my behalf, the only one who'd jump into Tartarus just to be with me. No one's ever done that for me. He knows what I want, and gives me that. He's always there for me, cheer me up when I'm down, let me cry on him, and I sometimes punch him until he got bruises all over just because I'm furious and he never complains. Even when before we started this relationship at all, he's been caring for me. He never gave up finding for me that winter. I love him for that.
On the other hand, you and Poseidon have been arguing for what, three thousand years, ever since you're born! However, have you ever asked yourself what are you two arguing? Or even, why for that matter. His intelligence is not under us at all. You should take a look on his battle plans that he made with Percy; it's totally flawless and fool proof. Plus, isn't Percy's plan that helped you all to bring down Typhoon at all? Their intelligence is not under us, more than us in fact, the experience is what we can't get through reading. They can be very smart and think on their feet faster than us. You should really try and talk to him. He is pretty darn smart.
Why am I talking about this to you? Well, because that certain someone has been in love with you ever since you're born. However he has already engaged to Amphitrite, even though he married to preserve peace within the ocean. He can call off the engagement and marry you instead, but he knows he'll have to preserve the peace underwater or chaos will be unbearable. He has sacrificed much, just you know.
I'm just trying to tell you that he's not all bad. Plus, that incident only happened because he was sipped a love potion by Medusa, and it was her idea to do that in your temple. Poseidon doesn't even know where he is.
Give him a chance; you'll never know what will happen. Plus, he loves you, and that had happened for more than a thousand years.
Your daughter,
Annabeth (with information from Percy)
