"Ooooohhhhhh" I moaned as I held my stomach. Man, maybe having 1 1/2 pieces of cake wasn't such a good idea. I laid back on Percy's bunk and moaned again. Perhaps I should've gone to the infirmary like Percy suggested. Well, too late now. The infirmary closes after dinner. I was still moaning when Percy came in from wherever he went.

"Hey" he said. "Feeling better?" I shook my head.

"Feels worse" I got out. I sat up and Percy sat next to me. Almost instantly, i felt a little better, like his very presence is a medicine in its own. He felt my forehead, which I found odd, since I knew for a fact I didn't have the flu or anything.

"Your stomach probably had a bad reaction to something in the cake." He suggested.

"Heh" I chuckled. He put his arm around my back, and I fell into place, resting my head on his shoulder, staring out at the sea. It was truly amazing. A nice upgrade to my cabin. Then I noticed a faint glow in the room, coming from the fountain out on the patio.

"What's that?" I asked.

"A gift from my dad." He said. "And it looks like an Iris message is coming in." He walked over to the fountain, tossing in a dracma. The water sizzled a little, then showed Chiron and my half brother, Malcom. They both looked very worried.

"Percy" Chiron said. "Malcom has come to me with...some news" oh crap I thought.

"Yes, what is it Malcom?" Percy asked, pretty calmly.

"Percy, we were doing evening roll call...and" He started. Oh crap! I thought, again. Neither Percy or I had told Chiron that I was in Percy's cabin tonight.

"Annabeth is missing, Percy. I thought you might want to know, because she's your...you know" Malcom said, as calm as he could be.

"Not to worry, Malcom. Annabeth is staying with me in my cabin tonight. I just went and informed Dionysius." Percy said. He's so sweet.

"Oh, thank the gods!" Malcom said in relief as Chiron stroked his beard.

"I guess what happened here is that Mr. D hasn't informed me of anything...again" Chiron said with a sigh.

"Yeah, I'm here" I said stepping into view. "I'm ok, thanks Malcom."

"Sure thing" he said, and the message cut off. I felt my stomach ache bad again, and moaned. It felt like I couldn't move. Thankfully, Percy understood, and carried me into his bunk, and tucked me in. Now, I know you must be thinking, what? Aren't you too old to be tucked in? Well, sort of. If it's Percy, I'm fine with it. Anyone else, I'll pull my knife.

"Lights out, or not yet?" He asked.

"Yeah, out please" I said. Did I mention how sweet he is? After Percy has turned out the lights and came into bed with me, we were back locking lips.

"I love you so much" I said between kisses.

"Love you more" he responded.

"Impossible" I said with a laugh. He put his arms up in surrender.

"Hey, Annabeth?" He asked.

"Yeah?" I responded with a yawn.

"Um...I want to...uh...ask you something." He sounded a little unsure.

"Ok, spill it." I said.

"Maybe it could wait till morning" he suggested.

"Spill" I said. Call me impatient, but I really wanted to know.

"Ok". He said. He took a deep breath, and said something. I couldn't make it out, mostly because I had my head under one of his pillows, trying to keep anymore stomach pains O-U-T.

"Sorry?" I asked, emerging from my hideaway. "I couldn't hear you."

"Will you marry me?" He asked with a strong surge of confidence. I jolted upright in bed and looked at him, tears forming in my eyes. I've waited so long for him to ask that question, and now here we are, at 19 years old, and the proposal was out.

"Yes!" I said, weeping a little. We were soon kissing hard again and I thought, Could this night get any better?
