"How did I get in such a mess ? I am marrying a girl whom I don't even know…."Percy thought

Suddenly the doors open and Percy sees the most beautiful he has ever met. She is with four other girls . She comes up to me and bows , saying

"I,Annabeth Chase, Princess of Athens feel immense pleasure in meeting you ."she said

"Prince Persues Jackson, Prince of Atlantis"I reply taking her hand and kissing it.

When I look up, I am startled to see her beautiful gray eyes . I could have stared at them for ages

She had beautiful, blond, princess curls that fell till her shoulders. Her full lips and beautiful face made me want kiss her then and there.

As soon as I entered the Great Hall , I saw the most handsome person I have ever met . He had messy , raven-black hair and beautiful sea-green eyes.

After we introduced ourselves, he took my hand and kissed which sent electricity sparks to my body . He had a very handsome face.

"I see you have introduced yourselves "said King Frederick "And who are these young gentlemen ?"

"They are friends of mine, sir "Percy said "Let me introduce them"

"This is Jason , Leo , Grover, Charlie and Frank" said Percy

"And these are Piper, Calypso,Juniper,Silena and Hazel ."said Annabeth introducing her friends

"Pleasure to meet you all. "said King Poseidon . "Well Percy and Annabeth , your wedding will be held two days from now ."

"Yes , sir"reply Percy and Annabeth in unison though it clearly showed on their faces that they are unhappy with the marriage

After two days

Percy's POV

"And I proclaim you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride "said the priest

Percy plastered a fake smile ,bent and kissed Annabeth ,quickly. She did the same . Their kiss lasted for about 5 seconds ,though Percy didn't think it was a bad kiss. Annabeth's lips were really soft

Line Break . After the wedding

Annabeth's POV

"Dad , do we really have to do this ?"asked Percy in exasperation while others looked at him in amusement

It was a tradition in Atlantis that the newly- wed royal couple should stay at an island , without the company of anyone for a week . It was really irritating . How are you supposed to stay with a person whom you barely know, and that too ALONE ? I really thanked Percy was saying this.

"Yes, you have to. Your mother and I did it . And you will have to leave for the island immediately "said Poseidon

"What ? "said Percy and I in unison

"I think that this will do you some good. You guys barely know each other and this will be an awesome opportunity for you to get to know each other. "sad mom

"Mom "I say in exasperation "OK , fine . We will go . But what about my friends? "

"They can live in our kingdom and Percy's friends can show them around the castle"offered Poseidon

"Well, that's settled then. Go Annabeth and Percy, pack you belongings . The ship will arrive in an hour"said my father

"Yes , father "I reply. This is going to be a long,long,long week. I thought as I rushed off to pack my things.
