20 Seconds
A/N: So I totally got this idea from the movie We bought a Zoo. It super cute so go watch it if you haven't! This was written where Percy is going to propose to Annabeth. Oh and before I forget…
Disclaimers: I don't own any PJO stories, or the movie We Bought a Zoo. All my awesome ideas come from others. *Sighs*
Third Person's POV
Percy was faced with a big problem. He saw Annabeth sitting under their tree at Camp. He knew he loved her, he knew he wanted to be with her for the rest of his life, yet he was super nervous. Out of all the challenging things that he had to go through in life, this seemed like the hardest thing he had ever had to do. Propose to Annabeth. He fingered the small little box shaped as a clam in his pocket. Then, in the corner of his brain, he remembered something Paul had told him once.
"If you see an opportunity, but are too afraid to do it, all you need is twenty seconds. Twenty seconds of insane courage that you didn't even realize you had, and I promise you something amazing will happen."
Percy silently thanked his step dad as he took a deep breath. He looked down at his watch. Okay Percy, twenty seconds starting…now. He walked briskly towards Annabeth, his heart feeling like it was about to fly out of his chest. Once he was close enough for her to see him, he knew there was no turning back.
10 seconds left…
"Hey Percy!" Annabeth smiled, and that gave Percy enough reassurance to keep going.
"Hey Wise girl." Percy knelt and got down on his knee. Annabeth gasped, and put her hand over her mouth. "I love you so much you don't even know. I need you wise girl…more than you ever know." Percy paused.
5 seconds left…
"And I guess what I'm trying to say is, why, would a smart, beautiful, independent woman, marry a complete Seaweed Brain like me?"
1 second left…
"That being said, will you marry me wise girl?" Percy's stupid insane courage was gone, and yet he felt more confident than ever, looking as the love of his life cried with joy. And his breath hitched when he heard her next words.
"Why not?" Annabeth stated, before tackling Percy and kissing him passionately, in which he returned. And in the back of his head, all he could think was "Thanks the gods for Paul and his 20 seconds."
A/N: That was super fun to write! I love Percabeth fluff way to much! Well that's it for today! And I would like to thank The-girl-with-the-blue-Waffles for reviewing my story! Anyways review review, review!
