What is your favorite song, because I want tips for the wedding. I also want you to give me ideas and tips for my story, because I want your help. Anyway here is chapter 4. Oh and sorry for writing short chapters.
Chapter 4- The setup
Annabeth POV
It has been only a month since Percy asked me to marry him. Our wedding is a month away and we have a ton of more planning to do. Percy has left me to most of it. He only has one request, but only the gods can grant him that one, in fact he is on Olympus right now. I walk around camp with my arms crossed over my chest, thinking. I head straight for the canoe lake which Percy told me he was going to ask me to marry him, but since my accident, he didn't want to wait. Wow my seaweed brain, he keeps pushing things back until an urgent moment.
I sit down at the edge of the dock and take off my shoes, I put my feet in the water. Ever since Percy and I have gotten together, I have loved going to the lake, I guess it's because it reminds me of him. I start to hum to myself when I feel a hand on my shoulder and a voice speak up, "Mind if I join you?" I turn around and see my brother Malcolm. Honestly I haven't seen much of him, because I have been staying with Percy, ditching classes and taking care of wedding plans, but I smile and nod at him actually wanting my brother's comfort. He sit down next to me and pulls me into a hug.
"How are you doing?" He whispers rubbing my back and I lay my head on his shoulder.
"I'm alright. I'm just stressed, because of the wedding. I want it to be perfect. I want to make Percy happy, I have been dreaming of this for a really long time, Malcolm and it has finally come." I feel tears start to rise, but I wipe them away furiously, angry to show some weakness.
"Hey no matter what you do Percy will be happy, I bet if you came in sweatpants covered in paint and a graphic tee saying, you bet I'm marrying you seaweed brain, love my look?" I laugh.
"I wonder if I could borrow those from Rachel." Malcolm chuckles and squeezes my shoulder.
"Now here is the Annabeth I know. Anyway have you heard from Percy?"
"No, he's probably getting threats from the gods knowing his kelp for brains. He's probably not even discussing the wedding. I have to do all the work around here."
"You always seem to be the one in charge, but maybe just maybe Percy has taken some responsibility, I mean he probably wants to make this as perfect for you, as you want for him."
"Malcolm, I don't know if I made the right decision when I said yes." I turn my head from his face back to the water that is rippling from my moving legs.
"What do you mean?" Malcolm asks confused at my comment.
"I mean, I don't think I'm ready to marry Percy. I love him, but he doesn't deserve me. I'm a little know it all. Percy is funny and brave and smart, I'm not strong." Malcolm put a hand under my chin and lifts my face so I look him in the eye.
"Annabeth, you and Percy are a team. There is no one Percy would rather have at his side. You are meant for him and you are so much more than a know it all. Don't disgrace yourself or your family. Percy loves you just the way you are." Malcolm smiles and I hug him.
"Malcolm can I tell you something?"
Percy POV
I have been here for hours. The gods cannot make up their minds. I ask them a simple request ok maybe it's not so simple, but I want this to be perfect for Annabeth. I told her I was going up here to ask for permission to have our wedding at Ogygia on the beach, but actually I was asking if we could have the wedding at the Parthenon in Athens. I wanted to do something that represent Annabeth and her mother. I obviously have Athena's approval, but the other gods and goddess's are harder to have them agree. My dad wants me to have the wedding at a beach or somewhere with water, but I would rather make this Annabeth's big dream wedding.
I wait for them to answer and then Athena speaks up. "Perseus Jackson, I am very pleased of your proposal on where to have the wedding. I am proud that you are thinking of Annabeth before you."
"Yes, Lady Athena, I wanted to make this memorable and honor you as well. I want to make peace with you and I want to make you proud. I think it's easy to make death or moon or sun like you, but wisdom is a more difficult challenge and obviously I haven't been the wisest" Athena snorts at this one. "And that's why I ask to make peace with wisdom, for I want to learn and explore more and the only way to do that is to not have a war between us. I want to honor you and make you proud, because I don't want to just make Annabeth happy, but to make you happy as well and not to doubt her decision and tell her to give up on me, because I love her more than you can imagine and I know this will make her happy, will you do this for me?"
"Percy, I have heard many dumb things from you, but what you just said makes up for all of those times. Yes Percy I will do as you ask." I smile and thank her and bow to the gods. And as I start to walk away someone speaks up.
"Oh and Percy you have already made me proud and I have a surprise for you. I have convinced the gods to let Calypso free."
"Thank you Lady Athena" I walk out of the throne room with a smile on my face.
A.N. Hey guys ok I want to remind you to answer the question. I also want to ask for Wedding ideas, you already know where it's set, so if you could help thanks. Hey can you guess what Annabeth was going to tell Malcolm. If you think you known leave it in a review and I won't tell you what it is, until I get at least 15 reviews. Thank you.
