Meanwhile in New York, Silena, Rachel, and Thalia were watching the newest episode.
"Annabeth... let me explain." Percy said. Annabeth was completely ignoring him. "Oh my god! She's going to ruin everything for me!" Silena just about shouted.
"What does this have to do with you?" Thalia asked.
"I have the chance to plan a wedding for a daughter of Athena. I'm not going to let her ruin it." Silena said like it was completely obvious.
BOOM!
Three giant ostriches burst through the wall. Flames appear out of nowhere and the camera is destroyed. The episode cut to commercial but came back to the confession room with Maria.
"Percy is a really good kisser. He just proved to me that we will be together forever." Maria said with a dreamy look on her face. Rachel wanted to gag.
Percy was standing there, his mouth hanging open. He had walked into a girl fight.
Yeah, this is way better than food. Percy thought as he watched.
Annabeth was in the living room with Maria. Maria was on the floor with Annabeth's hands trying to close around her neck. Annabeth looked like she was about to kill Maria, so Percy did what any man would do, stayed on the sidelines and watched the cat-fight. Annabeth gave up on trying to strangle Maria and settled for repeatedly slapping her on the face. Percy didn't want Annabeth to get in trouble for killing Maria, so he decided to intervene. A word of advice, if two girls are fighting do not get in the middle of it. It hurts when they scratch you. Annabeth was still trying to hit Maria with Percy in the way but it wasn't working out too well.
"See how violent she is! You should eliminate her." Maria said. That comment alone made Annabeth want to deck her again. A bruise was already starting to show around Maria's eye. Annabeth had stopped fighting now and left the house to go clear her head. She went out back to the pool and stuck her feet in the water. She was completely calm after a few minutes and heard footsteps behind her. She would bet all of her money that Percy was sitting beside her.
"So I'm going to assume that you didn't attempt to murder Maria for no reason." Percy said.
"Yep, I definitely had a reason. She pretty much called me a slut and insulted my intelligence." She replied.
"Oh. Remind me to never get on your bad side." They talked by the pool until their feet pruned up from being in the water so long.
A week later...
All the girls were packed and ready to go to disney land. The network was able to find them all hotel rooms inside the park. Annabeth shared a room with Jessica, Katie, and Lydia. Four girls would be leaving at tonights elimination. The girls met up with Percy in the middle of the park. They were surrounded by cameras as usual and there were more people than usual. This was one of the few eliminations where there was no challenge. Each girl would be able to spend an hour with Percy in the park and after that it would time for elimination. Maria was the first girl to go. Percy groaned internally. Whenever Annabeth gets mad at him it is always Maria's fault.
"Hey Percy." Maria said with a coy smile. Percy talked with her for a little while. Maria refused to go on any rides because it would mess up her hair and every time he suggested getting something to eat she would say that the food here had too many carbs. Next it was Lydia's turn. Percy had hardly spent any time with Lydia, she was one of the less clingy girls who would blend into the background. They went on as many rides as they could in the hour that they had together. They made small talk while they were waiting in lines, but other than that the hour was relatively silent.
Finally, after four more hours it was Annabeth's hour with Percy. Out of all the girls he definitely had the most fun with Annabeth. Except for Lydia, all the girls before Annabeth might as well have been clones of Maria. Before he knew it, it was time for elimination. He went through his normal speech and started to call names.
"Annabeth, Lydia, and Kim." Maria looked like smoke was about to come out of her ears. Annabeth gave her a smug smile. The girls who were eliminated started crying and hugging their friends goodbye.
"Congratulations. You have made it to the top three." Percy said to them after the other girls had left. Annabeth just about wanted to start doing a victory dance. She was so close to winning.
Everyone was crowded around the TV. Silena did a touchdown dance when Annabeth made it to the top three. Apparently Silena was already putting the final touches on Percy and Annabeth's wedding.
"Congratulations. You have made it to the top three." Maria fades in.
"I was perfect for him. He kept that Annie girl and eliminated me! This had to be fixed!" Maria fades out and Annabeth fades in.
"Okay. I admit it, I am happy to be in the top three. I'm just hoping that he'll choose me." Annabeth fades out and the credits start.
"What did I tell you. Annabeth and Percy are so meant for each other!" Silena said excitedly.
"Yeah yeah yeah. Your mother is the goddess of love, your opinion meant something. We get it." Thalia interrupted before Silena could start bragging. The girls started talking about next week's show. It was finally going to be the episode where Percy picks the girl he wants to be with.
