Hey! I'm back! I hope I'm doing okay on writing this … Oh well. Whatever. Btw, I forgot to put it on, but the last chapter was (obviously) Percy's POV. Okay. Now! On with the story!

Chapter Two:
"No. That's not the dress," Silena, my best friend and cousin, said. "Yea I agree with Silena, for once. Purple isnt your color." Thalia, my younger sister, said to me. I looked at my reflection in the full sized mirror. The dress had a beaded one-shouldered bodice, has a ruched, dropped waist bodice that is embellished on the left side with beadwork leading into a flared skirt. I liked how I looked. I wonder why they didn't. So me being me, I asked.
"Why? I like this dress!" I said. Silena sighed. "Look Annie. We are here to find you a perfect dress. The one that will have prince Perseus falling head over heels for you! But if you won't let us help you then I guess you can just wear that dress. But I'm telling you, it's not bringing out any of your features. Especially you eyes. I was told by my mother that Boys always notice your eyes first. And that dress is doing nothing to bring out your eyes, but if you want to wear it, suit yourself." she said. "Yeah, Annabeth. So what's your decision? Let us help you or not?" Juniper asked.
It was temting to say 'No don't help me!' But I knew better than to hurt them. So I sighed. "Fine. Go ahaed and pretend I'm your Barbie doll. Just please don't go overboard." I pleaded. They all beamed. "You won't regret it, sis! Just watch!" Thalia said as they went back to the rack with all of the dresses on them as I returned to the bathroom to change out of the dress and put a robe on.
"Annie! Try this on!" I heard Silena yell. I took the blue dress and started to change. When I came backout and stared at my reflection in the mirror. The gown was one-shouldered strap is intricately detailed with beadwork as well as on the waistline. The ruched bustline leads into a flowing A-line skirt, with a hint of a sweeping train. It was pretty too!
"No, get that of you. That's not it." Juniper said as Thalia and Silena agreed and went back to the dress rack. I changed out of the dress and gave it to them. "What's next?" I asked. This was getting kind of fun!
"Here try this." Thalia said. I took the black and pink dress from her and went to change. The neckline is accented by fitted waistband and floral bow. The lustrous rose design that embellishes the gown adds an extra pizazz. It looked cute. "I don't like it." I said as i stepped out of the bathroom. They agreed and I took it off.
"Here, why don't I help," I said. They agreed. It took a while but I finally found it. I took it of the rack and went to the bathroom to try it on, without the girls commenting on what i picked.
I looked at my reflection, for the last time. I smiled. I loved it. The dress was sea green (Author's Note: Coincidence! Percy's eyes are sea green!). It was strapless ball gown that went puffy when it reached the bottom part of my body. It had a rhinestone belt. It was a laceup back. "You look perfect!" I heard Silena squeal. "I know! Now our only problem is trying to figure out what shoes she's going to wear," Thalia said. "Don't forget the make up!" Junpier added. They nodded and went on talking and talking. I was so happy that I found something to wear for myself. Without anyone's help.
"Annabeth are you -" my mother came in and gasped at how I looked like. "Doesnt she look awesome, mom?" Juniper said, smiling broadly. "I - I'm speechless! You look wonderful, my dear!" mom said as she walked over to me, examining me. I smiled at her. "Thanks mom. I appreciate it." I said. "Of course! So Thalia, Juniper, Silena, have you chosen your dresses?" mom asked. "Of course aunty! Here. We'll change in to them," Silena said as she grabbed their dresses.
Moments later, they cam out. They looked beautiful! Silena wore a gown with a heart shaped neckline with hand beaded bugle beads and stones, elongated draped bodice falls into an A-line skirt that is tucked with beaded accents and a contrasting sash. It was pink.
Thalia wore a strappless yellow gown that was something like mine but wasnt puffy or has a belt. It was plain, but it suited her very well.
