A/N: Right then first off, I do not, I repeat DO NOT own Percy Jackson (really wish I did)
Secondly, this is my first fanfic so advice, tips and feedback would be incredibly welcome, now that that's all out of the way let's get on with the story :D.
Prologue
(Percy POV)
it was another normal day at camp half-blood 5 years after the end of the giant war in Greece, after the war ended relations between CHB and camp Jupiter became much smoother, me and Annabeth were chosen as diplomats for camp half-blood(now I know what you're thinking, why me? It's because I've been to the roman camp and know them better than any of the other Greek demigods), while Reyna and Jason where chosen for camp Jupiter(not much surprise there), it made things so much easier seeing as me and Jason became good friends during the giant war.
But back to the present I was currently sitting by the lake discussing some personal stuff with one of my best friends, Grover underwood, Lord of the wild.
"So what do you think….?" I asked him
Grover just turned around and gave me a look as if to say are you stupid? Of course I think it's a good idea, what he actually said was "you realize if you propose her mother will murder you right?"
And who am I thinking of proposing to? Only Annabeth chase daughter of Athena goddess of wisdom, she also happens to be my girlfriend and hopefully soon to be wife. The problem? I'm Percy Jackson son of Poseidon, god of the sea and one of the big three. My dad and Athena aren't exactly the best of friends, in fact they seem to hate each other, because of this rivalry Athena doesn't like me and thinks I am unworthy to even be near her daughter much less date her.
"Yeah bro I know that, that's why I was thinking of getting Athena's approval first"
HAHAHAHAHAHA, the look on Grover's face when I said that was priceless; man I wish I had a camera. But to be honest it was a pretty crazy idea.
"Percy, you know if you even mention marriage and Annabeth in the same conversation to Athena she will vaporise you on the spot?"
"I know, I don't know how to ask her permission, maybe, just maybe she'll get me to prove myself somehow"
A vague hope I know, but the only one I have, Grover's reply surprised me though.
"Yeah, Perc she might, I know in the old days Athena loved to test demigods if they wanted something from her."
Suddenly the day seemed to get a lot brighter, it seemed as if there was finally hope for me and Annabeth, I decided I would head to Olympus in the morning. At that point the conch horn sounded signalling that it was dinner time.
During dinner I couldn't stop thinking about what tomorrow morning would bring, every now and then I would glance over at the Athena table and think to myself, "it's all for her, it's all for her, it's all for her". When all the campers had finished eating we piled out of the mess hall and headed to the amphitheatre for the bonfire and sing along. I sat alongside Annabeth and slid my hand into hers. Afterwards before we went to bed I pulled Annabeth to one side.
Annabeth POV
I wasn't sure, but Percy seemed troubled, during dinner he kept on glancing over at me with a thoughtful look on his face, and believe me, that's saying something, considering its Percy, then after the bonfire he pulled me to one side.
"Percy, what's wrong? You seemed troubled at dinner"
When I said that he seemed to relax a bit, but his reply confused me.
"Annabeth…..I….need to leave camp for a bit, I may or may not be able to contact you during my time away, and I also might not come back, I don't know how long I'll be gone."
A/N well there we go, tell me what you think and whether I should continue or not (although I probably will continue anyway)
