HIIIII! So I don't own Percy Jackson or anything, just the story. Enjoy the story, and please review!
Percy POV
Nervous as anyone could be, I walked along the beach, watching Frank and Hazel setting up refreshments for the 4th of July celebration. Today, I was proposing-cue the rolling of eyes- to Annabeth. The engagement ring was a gold ring with a simple but intricate diamond owl. I had shoved myself into a tuxedo, and I had told Annabeth to meet me here at 8PM. I checked my watch. 7:58. I wiped my hands on my suit, since it was so sweaty.
"Calm down!" Leo hissed from his very clever hiding place, a rock. He was helping with the part where he tells all the campers to give one section of the beach to Annabeth and I. I took deep breaths and turned to the sea to calm myself. Suddenly I hear a high pitched squeak (emitted from Leo) and I swivel around, and I find Annabeth is standing in front of me smirking.
"Uh, um….hi…well..um" I stuttered as my mind wiped itself clean.
"Yes, Seaweed Brain..?" Annabeth said wrinkling her eyebrows. She looked beautiful. It made me think, and I remembered what I was doing.
"So, Annabeth, I've known you for a long time, and you have an amazing personality," Slowly, I got on one knee and took out the ring. "You have fought with me and I would love to have my best friend as my wife. Will you marry me?"
Annabeth's eyes filled with tears and she trembled as she said, "Yes, of course!"
"Yes!" I yelled, and I picked her up and swung her around and we kissed, just as Hazel let the first firework go into the air. Our engagement was under a beautiful array of light, and we were surrounded by our friends.
Too soon, the celebration ended and everyone started to head back to the cabins.
Chiron trotted over to us, and put his hand on my shoulder, "Congratulations, the both of you. I was wondering, since you'll be staying here, would you like to build a house next to the Big House for you two, and hopefully for your future children?"
"Wow, that would be amazing Chiron! Thank you so much!" Annabeth said joyously, as she turned to me smiling.
"Yes, yes, the gods themselves have agreed to all work on the house, as a payment to all the things you two have done for our world." Chiron said proudly.
"It would be amazing. We'll go tell the gods thank you, right now." I said, and with that, we bid good night to Chiron and headed over to the Empire State Building.
When we got to the Building, the front desk security guards eyes widened as he saw me, and scrambled over,
"Oh my goodness, PERCY JACKSON? OH. MY. GOSH. Can I have your autograph? By the way I'm a clear sighted mortal, and Chiron put me here because I was in desperate need of a job. But yeah… Can I have your autograph?" He rambled.
"Er…Yeah, sure" I said slowly, and signed his paper. "Um… can we get up to Olympus now?"
The security guard's eyes widened, "Oh, oh yeah, yeah , yeah, yeah, um go on in."
On the ride up, Annabeth nudged me and smiled, "Soon you'll get a whole pack of rabid fans coming at you. Better get your signature ready." I laugh and she joins in.
"Hey, Annabeth, I was thinking. We could have our wedding at Camp Half-Blood, don't you think? And honeymoon at Camp Jupiter!"
"Yeah! That's actually a great idea! Coming from you…" She chuckled and poked me in the stomach.
"Heyyy. Meany-butt" I whined, as the elevator dinged. We stepped up into Mt. Olympus and several gods started many remarks.
"Oooh! You guys are so cute! I can't even mess with you anymore though. Ugh." Aphrodite squealed.
"Have fun taking care of your lovely bundle of kids that'll be coming." Apollo winked and he chuckled as Annabeth blushed furiously.
"Congratulations" Poseidon bellowed, looking at us proudly.
"Hmm. You had to marry the Poseidon Spawn. But I guess I'll have to bear it. Oh well." Athena said skeptically. Annabeth rolled her eyes, and I just completely ignored it.
"SILENCE!" Zeus yelled, and stomped his foot with a deafening thump. Everyone shut up, and focused their attention onto the King of Gods. "Alright, why did you guys come? I mean, we needed you to design the house, but why did YOU come?"
"We came to thank you for making the house, it means a lot to us." I said, and bowed to all of them. Many gods and goddesses grunted in satisfaction, and some nodded.
"All right, designing time" Zeus said, looking pointedly at Athena and Hephaestus. After 5 hours of planning, we had a layout of our house, a beautiful house really. Tomorrow, everyone in camp was going to help build the house, and we could all talk and be with friends. Annabeth looked pretty exhausted at the end, as it was 3 in the morning. We both trudged back to camp, and too exhausted to care, we both collapsed by Thalia's tree and fell asleep. Before I fell into a deep sleep, I looked up and saw the stars. How lucky I am, I thought, as everything faded to darkness.
