At sixteen, Stephen lead a blindfolded Bianca through the woods.

"Steven, where the Hades are we going?" She asked.

She hated be blindfolded. What made things worse was that she was being lead by an idiot.

"If I run into a tree I will peel off this blindfold and beat you to a pulp," She threatened, receiving a laugh from Steven.

They finally stopped and he peeled it off. A loud SURPRISE rang out through the forest. All her camp friends, including her parents, and Chiron stood by Zeus's fist. Even Emily was able to make it which just excited her even more. A long banner reached from one tree to another saying Happy Birthday Bianca. She laughed, covering her mouth in surprise and amazement.

"Oh my gods," Bianca said, "This is so sweet."

She hugged Stephen and ran to greet her friends. There was a lot of partying and laughing as everyone danced to the blaring music. They cut the cake which was chocolate with buttercream frosting, her favorite. She opened her presents, getting a lot of different things like weapons and beauty products. Piper had even found a famous demigod photographer to help take pictures.

"Thanks you so much, Charlie," Bianca said, thinking he set this all up.

"Actually, Steven did this all," Charlie spoke, "He should be the one you're thanking."

Bianca stood shocked in place. She couldn't believe that Stephen went through so much trouble for her. She walked through the crowd of demigods, looking for him, but she couldn't find him anywhere. She began to walk away from the party, thinking he was at the forges or the docks. She found him sitting on the dock, looking down at the water. His bare toes splashed in the water with every time he moved them.

"Mind if I join you?" She asked, receiving a jump from him.

He nodded his head and she removed her shoes, sitting by his side. Their shoulders pressed together as they enjoyed each other's company.

"Thank you," She whispered, "For the party."

"It was no trouble," Stephen said, "I am the master at planning parties, courtesy from my dad."

She laughed and she noticed a smile grace his lips.

"But seriously," She said, "This really meant a lot."

He met her eyes and she noticed a small scar on his cheek. She remembered when he received that. He was battling off a monster from her when she was only twelve. Before she realized what she was doing she leaned in. She met his soft lips, taking in the sweetness and saltiness of them. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it was amazing. When they released, he leaned his forehead against hers, smiling all the while.

"Called it!" Peter yelled behind them.

They jumped and Charlie, Thomas, and Peter pushed them into the lake. Bianca screamed as Stephen released a few unfriendly words in Ancient Greek. Like her parents, she created an air bubble at the bottom and they had their first underwater kiss.

She was now eighteen and she ran through the forest, flag in hand. She noticed a few of her teammates running towards her. She thought they were running to congratulate her until she noticed Stephen and Charlie running towards her, the flag in Steven's grip. She smiled as she got closer to the stream. When she jumped across it, she clicked one of the charms on her bracelet, transforming it into a shield. She slammed the shield against Stephen's face just as he too was about to cross the stream.

She wasn't paying attention in front of her since she was staring at a now bloody nosed Stephen. Charlie had been running a little ways behind him and she slammed into his breastplate, falling beside Stephen.

"Son of a…" Bianca yelled, touching her now throbbing forehead.

They had won, but now she probably had a mini concussion thanks to her no good of a brother.

"That hurt, Charlie!" Bianca yelled at him.

"Sorry," He said, though she knew he was enjoying this, "You should have watched where you're going after you passed the stream."

She scowled at him and noticed Stephen was being helped up by Peter, his nose bleeding. After the infirmary, they walked through the strawberry field. They walked hand in hand as Stephen told her stories about her brother that she never knew about. She was laughing so hard she could barely walk. They stumbled upon a spot that was all too familiar to Bianca. Her smile quickly broke as she looked at the spot behind the bushes.

"Hey," Stephen said kindly, "It's all over now. He's gone."

Bianca nodded and turned towards her boyfriend. He places his hand on her hips as she snaked hers around his neck. It started out as a sweet kiss which turned to passion. He kissed down her jawline and to her neck. She groaned as he found her sweet spot, making him smile against her neck. The dinner horn rang out and Bianca pushed him away.

"We best get going," She said.

She saw his frown and disappointment on his face. She rolled her eyes and pushed him playfully on the shoulder.

"No, we are not going to skip dinner just to make out," She answered his unspoken question.

He showed even more disappointment, but it quickly disappeared when she pecked him on the lips.

"Come on," She said, "I'm a busy bee and busy bee's get hungry."

He laughed at her statement and he draped an arm over her shoulder.

"Yes you are," He said, "But you're my Bee."

She leaned her head against his shoulder as they headed towards the pavilion.

Bianca walked through New Rome with Emily. She was now twenty two and was living in New Rome. She only went to Camp Half-Blood during the summer to help with training. Her and Emily got quite a few catcalls as they walked down the street to go to their favorite coffee shop. Emily was now married to her brother Charlie, much to Bianca's dismay. She was, however, happy for the two and she trusted Emily enough to keep her big brother in check. Emily was currently three months pregnant and Bianca was declared the godmother.

"I'm craving meat," Emily said out of the blue.

Bianca looked at her with wide eyes. Emily was a vegetarian, because she said that if she ate an animal it was like eating one of her own since she was a shapeshifter like her father.

"B-But Emily," Bianca stuttered, "You can't eat meat."

"It's not me," Emily complained, "It's the baby. The baby wants meat."

Bianca sighed, not knowing what to do.

"Oh," Emily said, as if she remembered something, "That's right. I need to show you something."

She grabbed Bianca's hand and dragged her off before she could protest. They weaved through New Rome and came upon the beach part. She noticed a mop of caramel curly hair walking up the beach. Her long time boyfriend wore a white T-shirt with a red bathing suit. He had sunglasses shielding his eyes and his hand were tucked into his bathing suite pockets.

"Hey babe," He kissed her, making Emily's smile widen.

"I'll leave you two lovebirds," She said, rushing away.

She looked down the beach and he asked, "Care for a walk?"

She took his outstretched hand and they walked hand in hand, the sand playing on her toes. She looked at Steven and realized he's been exceptionally quiet which was scaring her.

"Hey," She said, stopping to lift his chin, "Is everything ok?"

He looked into her startling gray eyes and without answering, leaned in and kissed her on the lips. It wasn't a passionate kiss, just a sweet and friendly one.

"We've known each other our entire lives," Stephen began, "And we have dated for six years. We went on a few quests together. I guess now I'm just realizing something."

Bianca's eyes knit together as she stared into his dark brown eyes. Then it struck her.

Is he breaking up with me? She thought.

"Oh my gods," Bianca said aloud, breaking his speech, "You're breaking up with me?"

Steven's reaction was the last thing she expected. He let out a hearty laugh making her even more confused.

"The exact opposite actually," He said, getting down on one knee.

Bianca's eyes widened as he pulled out a diamond ring.

"My little Bee," He spoke, "Will you marry me?"

Her eyes began to tear up as she looked at the ring. Everyone around them had frozen and stared at her for an answer. She looked from his eyes to the ring and she realized his bit of hope was turning into worry.

"Gods, don't ever do that again!" She said, making him confused.

"So that's a no?" He asked.

"No," Bianca said, "I mean yes, I mean...of course I'll marry you, stupid. Just don't act like you're going to break up with me again."

He laughed and got up, kissing her. She felt her feet lift from the sand as they kissed happily. Everyone around them clapped, some approached them to congratulate them.

"Facing monsters was easier than this," Stephen breathed, getting a playfully slap from Bianca.

"Just kiss me, you idiot," She said as he did so without complaining.

Bianca stood behind the big doors. Emily was constantly fixing her veil in front of her face, saying how everything had to be perfect. Percy stood by his daughter, tears welling up in his eyes. His baby girl was growing up and he wondered what happened to the days when he was changing her diapers. After Bianca, Percy and Annabeth had two boys Luke and Ethan and that was it. Bianca was his only daughter and now she was all grown up.

"Sweetheart, you're sure about this?" He asked for like the hundredth time.

"Don't worry, dad," Bianca said, "I have never been more sure in my life."

He nodded and the music started. The bridesmaids exit, followed by the flower girls, and ring bearer, who was flanked by Emily, the maid of honor. Bianca exit with her father as she stared up at her fiance. He was in a black tux with a perfect tie and his hair was actually combed for once. She smiled at him as he looked at her breathlessly. As they went through the ceremony it was time to exchange vows.

"Well where do I start, Bee," Steven started, "When I first saw you I thought that you were very adorable. You had little to no hair and your cheeks were very rosy. I watched as you gripped your father's finger and that was the day I fell in love with you. Now I believe it was our first quest that I truly fell for you in the other way. We we're fifteen which is pretty amazing. I still can't believe you have kept me around for so long. You have no idea how many times I have been told that you were too good for me and that you deserved better. There were times I actually feared I would lose you, but here I'm standing and looking at you. The only thing I can think of now is that those people can go to hell, because it was obvious we were made to be together. I love you, Bee."

He put the ring on his bride, her eyes tearing up.

"Gods, I'm starting to wish I went first," Bianca said, "Steven, gods you're so annoying sometimes."

Everyone laughed at that comment, especially Steven and his friends.

"You are also a complete idiot and a dork, might I add," Bianca said, "But you're my idiot. When you rescued me at that time in the strawberry field, I realized how glad I was when it was you who found me. You saw me at my worst that day and you didn't do anything but comfort me which was all I needed. When we kissed in the lake, I thought I could never have scored a funnier and sweetest guy in all the world. A lot of girls would complain that I could do much better, but I knew that there was no possible way I could get anything better. You were the best thing I could find and I caught you. There's no one else that I would rather spend my life with than you."

"Well I'd hope not," Stephen said, receiving quite a few laughs.

Bianca rolled her eyes, "You're so stupid and I love you for it."

She placed the ring on his finger and Chiron spoke, "I know pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

"Don't mind if I do," Steven joked.

He kissed her sweetly and the audience erupted into applause.

After the first dance and eating dinner, it was time for the maid of honor and best man to say their speeches.

"Hi everyone, I'm the maid of honor of the bride and my name is Emily Jackson. So, I've known Bianca and Stephen my entire life," Emily spoke into the microphone, "And Stephen I would like to share a secret of Bianca's for you."

She pulled out a folded up piece of paper and read aloud.

"Hi Em, how's life been so far? Mine had been great. Yesterday at recess Michael Thomson touched my hand and today he shared his lunch with me. Isn't that so sweet? He is just so adorable and I love his hair. One day I'm going to marry him and we are going to live in a castle and have lots of little babies. Love, your BFF Bianca. So sorry Stephen but you will always be the second choice of dear ol' Michael. Looks like someone's got some competition."

Everyone laughed and Bianca yelled out while laughing, "We were in kindergarten."

Charlie took the mic from his wife and spoke, "Hey everyone, my name is Charlie and I'm the best man and friend of the groom and the brother of the bride. I think it's obvious to say that I've known them both my entire life. To tell you the truth, I was the one who said that they would get married when she was born so may I just say CALLED IT! Anyway, here's a little secret for you, my dear sister Bianca. When we were in first grade I notice Stephen heading off to the bushes and so I decided it would be funny to scare him. So I sneaked over and peeked around it. I then see your dear husband kissing Sandy Anderson. Apparently they had just gotten married behind the butterfly bush. When I mentioned it to Stephen in class that day his exact word we're, I quote, 'She is the most beautiful girl I have ever met and we are going to live in a house of bread together.' So sorry I never mentioned that earlier sis, but now that you are the most beautiful girl in his eyes you're going to have to live in a house of bread. Love you and I hope for the best of you future."

Everyone toasted and laughed as a red faced Stephen put his head into one hand since the other was draped around his bride. When the wedding was over, they ran through a path of sparklers and into the limo.

"Ready for Greece, Mrs. Valdez?" Stephen asked.

"I'm ready for anything as long as it's with you," Bianca said, kissing him sweetly.

With that they drove through the starry night towards their hotel so they could leave the next day.
