Don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians

My life isn't that good right now. My girlfriend cheated on me. Annabeth. The girl who was my everything, or so I thought.

FLASHBACK:

Today is the day, today I am going to Athena, goddess of wisdom, to ask her for permission to marry her daughter, the love of my life, Annabeth Chase. "600 floor please." I asked the security guard at the lobby, "Sure kid, just let me go into the back and take my unicorn for a walk." he said back to me. Jesus, do I have to go through this every time? "Alright listen man, how about you give me the key, so I can go up to my scheduled meeting with Athena, while I'm up there I will try to convince her not to turn you into an owl because you held me up in the lobby. You know how much Athena hates for people to be late." I said to the now shaking security guard. "Ummm... yes, oh here it is, the key, sir, my apologies." he said, handing me the key. I took the key out of his hands not saying a word. As I was in the elevator I was thinking, Good thing he believed me, I'm actually meeting Athena completely unnoticed. Here Comes the Sun was playing in the elevator. (I do not own Here Comes the Sun) Normally Iwould be clawing at my years trying to get the horrid noise out of my ears but today I was in a very good mood. Next thing I know I'm knocking on the wisdom goddess's door. "Perseus Jackson" she said opening the door, "what a surprise." she said in a cold, icy tone. "Uh...Lady Athena I come to ask your permission to marry your daughter Annabeth." I said confidently. "This is very unexpected Jackson, do you just assume that I would give away one of my most favored daughters to some sea scum." she asked with growing anger. "No my lady! I'm sorry, I would do anything for you, you name it, I will do the 12 Labors of Hercules if it means I can marry Annabeth." I said panicky. "Very well than." she said amused. "Very well what?" I asked uncertain, "If you will do the 12 Labors of Hercules then I will grant you permission to marry Annabeth." she said. "Really? What's my dead line?" I asked, buzzing with excitement. "By the Summer Solstice, and you can not tell anyone about you doing this, not even Annabeth. Pack your bags and leave at once." she said sternly. Okay I have a 3 month deadline. Easy enough. Who am I kidding, this is going to be tough, really tough. But if it means I can marry Annabeth then I will do the impossible.And I was off. Athena zapped me back to camp. I ran into my cabin, took all the necessaries, Nectar, Ambrosia, Rip Tide, protein bars, water. All the good stuff. I ran through a bunch of people. They would ask me where I was going or if I could give them pointers with a sword but I just kept running.

Okay, that was the hardest quest I had ever been on. All of the monsters I have fought, plus some. The hardest had to be capturing Cerberus. I had almost given up, but I had remembered Annabeth's smiling, laughing face. And then I thought spending the rest of my life with her. That is why I succeeded. "I am surprised Jackson, I did not think it was possible. Clearly I was prejudice about you, but you are clearly the excellent choice for my beloved daughter." she praised. "Thank you Lady Athena, you will not regret this." I promised. "And Jackson!" I paused, "here." She threw me a box. I opened it and saw the must gorgeous engagement ring ever. There was a diamond shaped owl with Seaweed Brain and Wise Girl Forever engraved in the golden band. "Thank you Lady Athena, you have no idea how much this means to me." I said getting teary eyed. She smiled at me and closed her door. expectantly, Athena had zapped me to camp half-blood. "Hey have you seen Annabeth?" I asked a random camper, "No Percy, sorry." he replied. "Nico!" I shouted to my friend. "Percy! Hey where have you been, Annabeth is really freaking out." he said as he gave me a bro hug. "Exactly why I need to see her, do you know where she is?" I asked urgently. "Saw her by the lake with Brad." Nico said, "Who's Brad?" I asked jealously. "Some new kid from Apollo, Annabeth has been helping him out, don't worry about it though." he said. "Okay, thanks Nico, see you later." I said running towards the lake. "Annabeth?" I asked unbelievingly.
