We wake up at the same time somehow, and then I feel something on my hand. A ring. It wasn't a dream!
"Oh Seaweed Brain! I can't believe this!" I whisper to Percy.
"Me neither Wise Girl. I've been waiting for the day I could call you my fiancé." Percy whispers back. The conch then blares, and we get up to get dressed. We put on our standards camp clothes, and I put on both rings, my bracelet, and the tiara. We walk out the cabin, hand-in-hand, and head to breakfast.
"ANNIE! OMIGAWDS! YOU ARE GOING TO BE A JACKSON! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS FINALLY HAPPENING!" Piper screams as we sit down.
"Chill Pipes. Your Aphrodite is showing." Jason tells her.
"OMIGAWDS! I have to the see ring!" Piper squeals. She looks, and admires the simplicity, and how symbolically it describes us, of it.
Multiple people walk up and congratulate Percy and I, and we decide to go train some. We get to the area, and Percy whips out Anaklusmos, and starts attacking. I press the water drop on my bracelet, and my dagger pops out. I go onto defense, and then I hear my mother's voice in my head.
"Annabeth, press the yin/yang sign on your headpiece. It has the ability to give you the power of any of the 11 for a bit. It is powered from your strength, so use it sparingly." I hear Athena say in my mind.
I back up far away, and tell Percy to slow down, and that I have a headache. I press my hand on the symbol, and I gain Frank's power to change animals. I turn into an owl, and attack him.
"GAHH!" Percy yells. I knock him down as a panther, and then I turn back into my human form, press the sign again, and kiss him. This happens again and again, until after lunch.
"I win Seaweed Brain." I whisper. "Lets go to the beach."
"Okay, but you have some explaining to do Wise Girl." He tells me as I help him up.
When we get in the water, I hear Poseidon in my head, saying that his blessing makes it so that water give me some strength, but not as much as Percy gets. I step in the water and feel more awake and rested.
"Hey, wanna race?" I ask Percy.
"Sure. 2 miles out, and back. I'm winning this!" Percy yells as he gets ready.
I yell start, and I turn into a Black Marlin, the fastest fish in the world.
"Hey Seaweed Brain, I'm gonna beat you!" I tell Percy in my mind. I pass him, and I turn around as he gets to the one mile mark. I beat him to the shore, obviously, and then I wait.
"Annabeth! Were you that Black Marlin?!" Percy asks.
"Yep." I say, popping the 'P', smugly.
'How!?" Percy screams.
"The tiara you gave me, Athena enchanted it. I can use any one's powers in our group of 11. Poseidon gave me the ability to draw strength from the sea, but not as much as you. I can also be healed of minor cuts with water. I still can't breathe underwater though. I can use your powers though." I tell him.
"Cool. Anyways, lets go to my cabin." Percy tells me as he turns around. "Can you get changed, and meet me at the Manhattan Beach Park?"
"Sure. What do I get changed into?"
"We are going to Dad's palace. I want to see him, and I bet he wants to meet his daughter-in-law after the engagement."
"Okay, so fancy?"
"Yes."
"Okay, see ya later!"
I head to Percy's cabin, since I moved in there. Chiron moved me so that we could wake each other up in case of a nightmare. I go to the closet, and pick out a blue dress with ruffles that looks like waves on a beach. I put on some blue eyeshadow, and then put on some greek-style sandals. I'm still wearing my bracelet and tiara, but I replace my camp necklace with a necklace that Percy gave me on our 5th anniversary.
[Imagine this on a neck, instead of a head]
I call Matia, and I put her dress-halter on her to look nice, and fly to the beach. I see my fiancé, and his eagle in a bowtie. Percy is wearing a dark blue suit with a gray bowtie, green lapel, and a bouquet of Moonlace flowers.
"Hello Wise Girl." Percy says, offering me the bouquet.
"Why thank you Seaweed Brain." I say, taking the bouquet and putting it in my saddle bag.
Percy tells me to get on Matia, and he leads Matia into the sky. We fly for 10 minutes, talking a bit, and then Nemo dived, dragging Matia with him. We dive in to the water, and I touch the tiara, and I can breathe. Percy puts a bubble around Matia's beak, and we go farther down. Eventually, I see the glowing pearls of the palace. We enter, and Poseidon greets us.
"Hello Percy, and hello Daughter." Poseidon says. "I've been waiting to call someone my daughter for so long."
"BROTHER! ANNABETH!" I hear Tyson bellow, as he runs to us. Yes, runs. Underwater. Physics in Poseidon's palace are strange.
"Tyson!" Both me and Percy yell, and run to hug him.
"Tyson, meet your new sister-in-law!" Percy tells him.
"SISTER!" Tyson screams then hugs me again.
"Hey Tyson. Is Ella here?"
"Yes, she's in her bubble. ELLA! COME MEET MY NEW SISTER!" Tyson calls as he goes to get Ella.
"Percy, Perseus. Slayer of Medusa. Medusa: blessed by Athena. Athena, mother of Annabeth. Annabeth is married. Ella is married to Tyson. Married to the brother of the fiancé of Annabeth. Hello Sister. Sister in Law." Ella rambles a hello from inside her air bubble. [In the female telling of Medusa, Athena gave Medusa protection from men. The version told by men say that she was cursed. I prefer the other version, so deal with it.]
"Hey, sister-in-law." I tell her as I hug her.
"So big guy, married?" Percy asks Tyson with an eyebrow raised.
"Yep, she is pretty, and I love her. Father invited us to dinner too." Tyson replies.
"Thank you for inviting us to dinner." I tell Poseidon. We walk into the dining hall that is full of air, and we leave our eagles by the door. Matia, however, leaves for fresh air. We sit down, along with Amphitrite, Triton, Tyson, Ella, and Kymopoleia.
"Everyone! Thank you for joining us, and a special thank you to Kymopoleia for not destroying the palace." Poseidon announces. "We are gathered here today to congratulate my son, Percy, on getting married. His bride it Annabeth Chase, Daughter of Athena. Also, Athena and I are now on good terms."
Everyone congratulates me and Percy, and then Poseidon raises his goblet in a toast.
"To to marriage of Tyson and Ella, and Annabeth and Percy, and the end of a millennia long feud!" Poseidon yells. "CHEERS!" everyone yells. We clank our goblets, and drinks get spilled. I see Nectar for the immortals, peanut-soda for Tyson, Big Red for Ella, Blue coke for Percy, and Sprite for me. The plates then show what we chose to eat. The Immortals get some fancy dinner with Ambrosia and Nectar replacements. I get spaghetti and meatballs, Percy has blue spaghetti and steakballs, Ella has a plate of Iris's Microbiotic Jerky, and Tyson has a jar of peanut butter with a large amount of bread. We dig in, and I talk to Tyson and Ella about their plans. They are planning to have a wedding, but a small one inside a library. That's where Ella is the calmest. They ask where Percy and I are getting married, and we say the trident marks of the start of the Poseithena feud. Soon, desert comes, and we all share a cake with gray and blue, saying congratulations. It is delicious, and it changes to the eater's tastes. I love food here. After dinner, Tyson and Ella leave to the library, Poseidon and Triton have to go check on the oceans, and Kym and Amphitrite continue talking. Percy and I slip out, and Percy tells me to get on Nemo. I do, and we start going towards the center of the Atlantic Ocean.
We do twists and turns, meeting some whales, dolphins, and fish. Percy tells me that we are going to the Puerto Rico Trench, to go on a water coaster. We arrive, and we start weaving around the trench. There are tube worms and crabs the size of Nemo. After riding for half an hour, we swim through a large amount of seaweed, and stop at a coral reef. The coral is glowing, and is in the shape of an arch. Percy grabs a stereo from his saddle bag, puts a bubble around it, and starts a song.
"Will you take this dance with me?" Percy asks as he bows.
"Yes." I reply. we start dancing to the tune of All of Me, and then we sit there, watching the fish preform 'Under the Sea'. I laugh at that. We decide to get on Nemo, say bye to Tyson and Ella, then return to camp. Once we reach the surface, I see that Nemo is getting tired, and I call Matia. I press the tiara, and give Nemo the strength to fly back to camp. We make it to camp, and go to Percy's cabin. We go to sleep, but instead of a nice dream, I dream of Tartarus.
We are with Achlys, and Percy is drowning her with her own poison.
"Percy! Stop!" I scream desperately. He turns, and all I see are glowing white eyes. He doesn't stop.
"Annabeth! She tortured me and you. She deserves this." Percy replies in a very not-Percy voice. He makes a rope of poison, and wraps it around her limbs. He then forces a wave of poison down her throat, and kills a goddess. A freakin GODDESS.
I wake up to the Percy shaking me. I turn to him and start to sob.
"It's fine Wise Girl. I would never torture anyone. I would never torture you, a goddess, or anyone unless they hurt you." Percy whispers, trying to calm me down.
"B.B..BB.B...BBB..uu..tt, Percy." I say through sobs. "You did. You choked a goddess."
"I know, and I regret that everyday. I never wanted to hurt you." Percy tells me. "Do you wanna take a walk around?"
"Yes. Let me get some clothes." I say, still shaking.
We get out of the cabin, and start to walk. We reach the beach, and sit in the water, with me in Percy's arms. We talk about our favorite moments together, and watch the sunrise. Once the whole sun is over the horizon, the conch blares.
"Do you want to go to breakfast, or just sit here?" Percy asks me.
"I want to stay here for a bit longer." I reply, still shaking.
"Okay, I'll stay here as long as you want." Percy tells me as he rubs circles on my back.
After a bit, I tell him I'm ready to go to breakfast. We arrive at the pavilion, and no one asks questions. This happens a lot, us being late because of nightmares. I sit down, still a bit uneasy, and start to eat some eggs. Percy sits with me on the edge of the bench, and is still rubbing circles on my back. Piper asks me if I want to train with her, and I say no. That was the first time I dreamt of that moment. It was one of the worst dreams I have ever had. Me and Percy take a magical plate with us, and we go back and sit in the water. We spend all day there, with regular check-ups from 11 and Chiron. After the sun went down, Percy made sand beds using the waves, and we slept there, with me in his arms.
-I SERIOUSLY almost cried when writing the end part. Annabeth, watching her fiancé, kill a goddess out of revenge.
