Percy smiled as he tied his tie. He was so excited, he'd been smiling for the past day and a-half.
He was confident. He spent months looking at rings, and he'd finally found the perfect one two days ago. It was diamond, shaped like an owl, and had fiery ruby eyes. As soon as he saw it , he thought of her. It had to be perfect, because anything less than perfect simply wouldn't do. Not for such a special girl. Not for her.
He had Leo make him a box for it, too. It was plain velvet on the outside, but on the inside, it was beautiful. It had tiny pictures of all their favorite memories together. Their first kiss, the underwater kiss, the anniversary in France, being reunited after months of not seeing each other after Hera switched him with Jason, when they said their first "I love you"'s, getting out of Tartarus, winning the Giant War, stuff like that.
When Piper found out, she freaked, and insisted that the Aphrodite cabin give him tips on where to go, what to do, what to say, how to act, and what to eat for tonight. But of course, he ignored it. He was taking Annabeth to where they shared their first kiss as an official couple. The Canoe Lake. It was perfect, because it was home.
He walked out of the Poseidon cabin, grinning like an idiot. As soon as he reached the place where he and Annabeth were supposed to meet, she came into view. Gods, she looked stunning. She was wearing a beautiful silk purple dress, cut off at the knees, with a matching purple belt around the waist. It was a V-neck, and had tank-top sleeves. On her wrists she had a slim silver bracelet. She had a thick silver necklace, made up of strings of fake diamonds, with her usual owl earrings. Her princess curly blonde hair was pulled back into a ponytail, held together by a purple bow. She looked perfect.
Without saying a word, he offered her his arm and she took it, giddily. He lead her to the docks of lake, and sat down. She did the same. She opened her mouth to speak, but Percy pulled her into the lake and formed an air bubble. Exactly where the were when they were 16.
Annabeth was a bit shocked, since they hadn't done this in 6 years. While she was still looking around, he pulled out the ring.
He got down on one knee, or floated on one knee, as best as you can do in an underwater bubble.
"Annabeth Chase, will you marry me?"
She immediately spun around, grinning from ear to ear, "Of course I'll marry you, Seaweed Brain."
He got up and slipped the ring onto her finger, then pulled her into a hug. Nose to nose, he said, "Well, that makes me the happiest person on Earth."
"You might come to a close second, behind me." She said. "You looked extremely nervous, did you think that I wasn't going to say yes?"
"Well, I'm glad you did, because it would have been really awkward if you didn't."
They laughed, and then shared a couple of kisses. When they resurfaced, the entire camp was there, lead by Piper and Clarisse.
Grinning, Clarisse uttered the familiar words, "Well, it's about time!"
Hey. It was my first one-shot, so I appreciate every review I can get. I always welcome constructive criticism with open arms. And I have to admit, I gave myself feels writing that. Anyone else?
