"Just go Percy! It'll be aright!" Annabeth pushed her unwilling husband-to-be out the door.
Percy clawed at the door frame, refusing to let go. "But….but Annabeth! Don't you want me here?" He hung his head sadly.
Annabeth stopped, almost relenting, "Percy, we're getting married tomorrow, just go out and have some fun!" She told him whilst reaching up to pull him into a tight hug, standing on her tip-toes to press her lips to his quickly.
"Go, so I can have my fun." She added playfully as his green eyes widened.
Percy stood frozen in shock as Annabeth was pulled from his embrace by Thalia who was wearing more eyeliner than he had seen her wear in weeks. "Get going Jackson, we're gonna have the night of Annabeth's life." She grinned evilly.
Percy gaped at her, looking desperately at Annabeth who smiled and shrugged, "I have no idea what they have planned." Percy looked over to Juniper who merely smiled at him.
She patted his shoulder, "It won't be too bad." She smiled as she entered the house, leaving Percy to look hopefully at Annabeth.
Annabeth crushed herself to him again, holding on tight, "Just think about it this way," She whispered into his ear, "Tomorrow, we'll be married and then we'll be going on our honeymoon and then…"She trailed off, letting go of him to wave at Nico.
"Take care of him!" She grinned at Grover. Giving Percy one last lingering kiss on the lips, she winked playfully at him and closed the door.
Percy stood still with a dazed expression on his face. He swayed over to the car Nico was driving. Nico shook his head laughingly as his cousin entered the black BMW, "You've got it bad, man." He started the engine as Grover nervously began fingering his seatbelt, zooming off in a cloud of dust.
Annabeth stood at the window, watching with Thalia in amusement as Nico drove off. She tilted her head slightly to smile at her, before shouting, "Ok girls! Let's have some fun!"
Percy stared suspiciously at the building in front of him. Its dazzling neon light sign was flashing in time to the techno beat that could be heard playing from behind the door, practically blinding him.
He whipped around to face Nico and Grover. "I'm not going in there."
Nico sighed, slapping a hand to his forehead as Grover nodded his head encouragingly. "You have to Percy! It's your bachelor party, dude! You can't miss your own bachelor party!"
"Nico! Bachelor parties are for people who will miss their single days. I actually want to get married! I happen to love Annabeth remember?!" He pointed a finger at the building behind him. "Besides, it probably has strippers." He stared angrily at Grover and Nico, "You know how I feel about that."
Nico laughed, "Percy! I told you before there were none, when have I ever lied to you?" He looked questioningly at Percy who raised an eyebrow.
"You? You and lying are practically best friends!" He gestured wildly, turning to point an accusing finger at Nico. "Like the time you told me that Annabeth was knocked down by a car or…or the time-" His voice was muffled by a reddish-glowing hand.
Percy watched as Grover's eyes widened to the size of saucers. Nico slowly knelt to the floor as Grover fell to the ground, his forehead touching the dirt and his hair collecting dust. Percy looked back to see the slightly glowing forms of Apollo, Hermes, Dionysus, Poseidon and Ares. He bowed his head in respect as he addressed each of them.
Apollo grinned at Percy, moving closer to sling a casual, slightly glowing arm over his shoulders. "So, it's your day, Perce! And trust me, there's not a fun bachelor party without me. You should have seen Hercules's party, it was amazing."
Percy's lips twitched slightly at the sides, attempting to hide his amusement. He turned with much difficulty with Apollo's arm around him to look at the other gods. Ares grunted when he caught his eye, "I'm only here for the drinks boy, don't hope otherwise. I still don't know why a girl like her would marry you." He shook his head and leered at Percy, who turned to smile at the next god.
Hermes smiled back at him, walking over to give him a warm pat on the back. "Congratulations Percy, I'm very proud of you." He stepped back to let Poseidon greet his son.
Poseidon walked over to hug his son, only to see Apollo's arm still slung over his shoulders. Poseidon glared at the younger god with dark green eyes. Apollo backed away immediately, his hands up, only to walk over to sling his arm around an uncomfortable Nico instead.
Poseidon's glare immediately morphed into a smile exploding with happiness. "I'm so proud of you Percy, and no matter what Athena might say, I'm very supportive of your union with Annabeth."
Percy knew his father didn't really mind Annabeth, he even had the suspicion Poseidon liked her. The fact that he had admitted it made him as happy as he knew Annabeth would be. Grover's small uncomfortable cough broke him out of his reverie, and Percy felt slightly nervous when he looked down into the red eyes of his old camp director.
Dionysus simply grunted when Percy grinned at him. Turning away he walked towards the colorfully adorned door. When he turned back to see that none of the other party-goers had moved, he rolled his blood-shot eyes, "Well? Are you gonna come in or what? Or are we going to stand here until the next age? Hades knows when that'll be." Waving his plump hand slightly, he entered the building, the blasting music flowing out the door momentarily as it closed shut.
Percy grinned and walked after him, holding the door open for everyone else. As soon as Grover trotted past him, Percy sighed, running a shaking hand through his messy dark hair. It was going to be a really long night.
