Truth or Dare
Annabeth POV:
Yes, truth or dare is my favorite game. And it's not because I get to hear everyone's secrets or because I get to see them do crazy things. It's because that was how my life got to like it is today.

"Annabeth's turn," Jason shouts from across the room. We're sitting in the mess hall, us seven, and trying to relax. It's the first night we've all been together since defeating Gaea, and no one wants to sleep. It's late at night, but no one can sleep. We're all too hyper.
Of course, we're not kids anymore. We're adults, but we still like seeing our friends. I can't believe we've only known each other for about two years.
Anyway, so it is my turn to ask someone a question, and the only person I can think about is Percy. So, being the Wise Girl that I am, I jump into his lap, hug him, and whisper in his ear. "Truth or dare?"
He laughs and answers "Dare. I'm not a chicken."
"Okay." I can't think of anything. Piper comes up to me and mumbles a suggestion.
"Make him sing to you," she says. Looking back on it, this must have been planned by the rest of them.
"Percy, I dare you to sing me a song," I declared. I had never heard him sing before this. I highly doubt he is going to be this good.
"A hundred and five is the number that comes to my head. When I think of all the years I wanna be with you. Wake up every morning with you in my bed. That's precisely what I plan to do," he starts, getting down on one knee.
I gasp, putting a hand on my heart. I watch him put a hand into his pocket and pull out a black velvet box.
"So, will you marry me?" he finally sings.
I nod, speechless, while everyone else cheers. And it was in that same spot that we got married, that same spot where our daughter first experienced camp.
So, you could say that playing truth or dare changed my life.
