Thanks to all my awesome reviewers!

Annabeths POV

Percy's been acting weird lately. He's always fidgety around me, and he's been spending lots of time with Nico... Oh, here he comes, "hi Percy!"

"hey Annabeth, listen, I wanted to tell you something.

Percy's POV

OK, Nico and I were leaving to fund out our quest later today, I had all my stuff packed, now I just had to tell Annabeth, "hi Percy!"

"hey!" I sat down next to her, she was waiting her turn to go up the obstacle course.

"so what's up?" she asked.

"Well, um, you know why I've been spending so much time with Nico?"

"No, why?"

"well... Annabeth, you know I love you right?"

She nodded, blushing, "Yeah..."

"And you know I would do anything to be with you?"

Her blush deepened, "Yeah..."

"Well, last week, I-I, went to Olympus, and I asked you're mother permission to, uh *cough* marry you..."

Annabeth's suppressed smile came bubbling to the top, "Really?"

"Yeah," I smiled widely, "But then she forbade me (Is that the right past tense for that word?)and-"

"Why would it matter if she forbade you or not?" Annabeth said, a bit of anger in her voice as she stood up.

"Because, when I said I'd marry you no matter what, she said she'd curse me, and everybody I love."

Annabeth sat down again, her expression softened, "Oh, which would include me..."

"Yeah, and I could never let something like that happen to you, Annabeth."

"Percy I-" she began.

"Just wait, then I offered her a deal, a deal that if I completed a quest for her, then she'd let me marry you."

"Percy, what kind of quest is it?" concern filling her eyes.

"I'm not sure yet, Athena said I could bring along 2 campers, Nico is one of them, and-"

"I'm going." Annabeth said as she stood up, determination spread across her face.

"I knew it!" I said smiling.

"Come on seaweed brain! How are you going to know what your quest is going to be?"

"Well, Nico and I were planning to go to Olympus today, then right after we'll hit the road."

"I'm coming with you."

"But we're leaving in like and hour, and you need to pack and everything-"

"I'm almost completely packed!"

"What? Why?"

"You know me, seaweed brain, I'm always prepared!"

"right... But still, if the quest could get you in any way hurt, I wouldn't be able to live with myself," I said looking down, "That's why, if we find out the quest is dangerous, I can not let you go with us."

"But Percy, I-"

"No, Annabeth listen, I would do anything to be with you, but that doesn't not include getting you killed."

"Percy-"

"Annabeth, promise you will not come with us if the quest is too dangerous, K?" I smiled.

"Fine," I got up and she followed suit, we started walking towards her cabin, I was walking backwards, "But I still have one question."

"What?"

"What does the ring look like?"

"I can't tell you. It's gonna be a surprise!" I grinned.

"Please Percy," She gave me her puppy dog face, I almost caved, but years of being with Annabeth made me immune to her cutness, I shook my head, "Please? You know I hate not knowing."

"Sorry Annabeth, you're just going to have to wait till I complete this quest."

"Fine." We arrived at her cabin and she stood on her tip toes to kiss me on the cheek, then she whispered, "But just know, Annabeth Chase does not, give up easily." We both grinned and she walked into her cabin.

I slowly walked back to mine, 'lala land' was slowly drifting through my mind, Annabethhad basically just told me that we were engaged, to be engaged, to be married! I felt like a million bucks! Like I ruled the world! Like I could walk on water! Oh, wait, I can already do that.

I finally got to my cabin door and opened it, only to see Nico already there, "Hey! I thought we were going to meet up at the big house!"

"Well I got bored, Sooo, what did she say?"

"She's coming with us."

"What? But she's got to pack and everything, Percy, you know that if we're late, Athena will have our heads, no literally, she'll have our heads!"

"Yeah, I know, but Annabeth's packed most of her stuff! We'll just meet each other by the big house in 40 minutes, K?"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," and with that he walked right out my door.

I smiled, knowing Annabeth, she'll be packed and ready before we are.

I sat down at my bed and open up a drawer in my bedside table, inside was a picture of Annabeth and I on our 1 month anniversary, and the velvet case. I picked them both us and stuffed them into my backpack. I spent the rest of my time before we left thinking about Annabeth. *Gods, I love her*

Annabeth's POV

Of course my mother was going to give us a dangerous quest! My mother despises Poseidon, she naturaly she hates Percy. I knew that once Percy knew what the quest was he was just going to make me go back to the camp, so enstead I packed my Yankee's cap so I could still follow him when he thinks I'm safe at camp, yeah right! But still, Percy's really sweet, and I love him for that, but sometimes, he's just to worried about me. Yeah, I know, any girl in her right mind would love to have a guy so worried over them, but, I'm not one of those girls, I can take care of myself. But stll, I love him, *Sigh* wow, I did not just sigh like a girl, oh wait, I did, stupid Percy, making me sigh about how much I love him, *Sigh*... If Aphrodite could see me now...

Aphrodite's POV

I watched the two for hours. Out of all the romances in the world, there is the one I watch like a soap opera, everyday. Stupid Athena, making Percy have to go on some quest just to marry Annabeth, but it did give the plot an interesting twist... *Laughing like I know what's coming*

OK! What did you think? At the parts that are between ** means like, they thought, or they laughed, like they knew what's coming! Since Aphrodite is the goddess of love she can see the future of romances, and affect them. She also watches People's romances like they're her own supply of soap operas... Which they kinda are... I know Percy is really OOC, but this is a half romance story! so yeah... In the future chapters Nico will have his POV, but right now it's more of the romance half, so yeah... R&R!
