So, I'm sorry for not warning you in advance, but this is the last chapter of 'The Exception.' Thank you to everybody who reviewed and gave me ideas.

Enjoy!


TWO YEARS LATER

Percy's life was perfect. He had an awesome job and a girlfriend beautiful on the outside and the inside. They went on dates almost every weekend and were constantly calling each other. They had long passed 'I love you,' and Percy felt like it was time to propose.

Percy planned the perfect date to propose to Annabeth. They would head out to the beach and spend the entire day there. He packed a picnic with sandwiches, chips, and Annabeth's favorite- chocolate bars. At the end of the day, they would lie on the picnic blanket and he would pop the question.

That sounded like Annabeth's dream proposal. He was nervous only because he knew he would have to tell Annabeth about his ways before he met her. She already told him that she used to party and then when she was kicked out of high school, decided to go the opposite way. Percy was completely understanding to her story, but would she be to his?

He picked his beautiful girlfriend up at ten o'clock Saturday morning and they had the best car ride. They blared the music and Percy had the best time listening to Annabeth try to sing.

When they got to the beach, they ate their sandwiches and then went out into the water. They splashed, and swam, and kissed all day long.

The day passed faster than Percy wanted it too. Night time came too fast, and Percy was getting really nervous. He just had to gather up the courage and be honest with Annabeth.

After they had been lying down for a couple of minutes, staring at the stars and making up funny constellations, Percy asked Annabeth to sit up. He sat across from her and began his speech.

"Annabeth Chase, you have changed my life so much. When I first met you, all you were in my mind was another one night type of gig." He saw Annabeth's eyes widen a little bit. "That's all I used to care about. But, since you were the exception to my horrid tactic of getting girls, I had to bend a little, actually a lot, if I wanted to get you. For some reason, I decided that you were worth it. With a little help from Rachel, I turned my life around and, hopefully, became the guy that you want to spend forever with. So, Miss Annabeth Chase, will you marry me?"

The moment of silence that passed by next as Percy waited with his arm stretched out and watched her face intently. He was so sure that she would say yes, but now she's hesitating.

"Yes!" she exclaimed after two terrible, terrible seconds of Percy waiting. He slid the ring on her finger and kissed her with all he had.

What had started out as an exception was now his beautiful wife. Sometimes it's good to go a little bit out of your comfort zone.
