Plans for a Wedding

Enjoy! I really appreciate all the reviews, I really do! Yo, wedding dress contest and bridesmaid's gowns on my profile. View. Enjoy. Like it. Or hate it. It's up to you. This one's short, and, in my opinion, is not my best work.

Percy's POV

I can't stop thinking about Tommy, and his parentage. Monday, I'm really going to have to talk to him. I don't know why, but I have an odd feeling about Tracey and Theodore as well. There's something about them, and I'm going to find out.

Mom went wedding gown shopping with Aphrodite and Hera, and Annabeth had to come with them because they were also buying bride's maids' dresses. So I was spending the day with Paul, and I was having a good time. He asked me what I wanted to do and…well, let's just say it wasn't the most mature thing. I wanted to go to Lazer Park in New York City. We played a harmless game of laser tag, and I guess Paul is kind of cool in his own weird way. I ducked and dogged, just like I would do in real battle. I pretended that Paul was one of the monsters that I fight a lot, but I was fighting with a laser gun instead of a celestial bronze sword. Like I said, it was very immature. Paul was terrible at this immature game, and I kept on hitting him with the laser gun. It was so sad, it was pathetic.

Sally's POV

I'm a simple woman. I don't want anything fancy for my wedding dress. Aphrodite wasn't too happy about the 'no puffy-ness.' She wanted a dress as puffy as Kate Hudson's in Bride Wars for me. I don't want something like that. Hera, Aphrodite, Annabeth, and I have narrowed it down to two. One of them is slim-fitting, halter dress in an ivory color. There are gem stones that come around the halter part, and end near my waist. The other one is strapless, and it flows out from my waist. There are some roses placed randomly near the bottom, which decorate it some. It's vintage. I'm leaning towards the slim one, but I still really like the vintage one. But, I don't like the roses one the vintage one too much. That's what's making me lean towards the slim one. But then again, the slim one makes me think of prom, not a wedding. That's what's making me hesitant. (A/N I really am not sure which one to choose for Sally. I'll put both up on my profile, and the one with the most suggestions will be Sally's wedding gown. Please help me!)

I had chosen my dress, finally, and now it was time to find bride's maid's dresses. Hera was looking ahead, and then she screamed, "OH MY! This is the perfect bridesmaid's outfit! But wait, this one's EQUALLY as perfect!" She held up two dresses. They were both the same baby blue color. The first one was made of satin, and its torso looked like a spaghetti-strap tank-top that ended at the naval, which was where the skirt of the dress started. It had a layer over it, but this extra layer only covered the right hip. The rest of the skirt flowed out to the floor.

The second dress was made of satin on the breast, but that was it. The dress was again spaghetti strap. The rest of the dress, the skirt, was a chiffon draping skirt with a handkerchief skirt. There was a rhinestone pin for decoration right where the satin became chiffon. (A/N sorry to the males who are reading this who have no idea what I'm saying. Maybe some girls too, but I don't know.)

"Amethyst, Annabeth, which one do you like best?" Hera said. The two goddesses had insisted that we start calling them by their fake names now, until the wedding is over.

"Oh no, you can't drag me into this! My mother told me to wear whatever you two decide on. Amethyst should answer that question," Annabeth told Hera.

"Well Halina, the one I like the best…is…the second one. It was a tough decision, but that one's more me. The other one, it's beautiful, but it's not fit for a goddess," Aphrodite replied. I approved of this decision; the dress was beautiful.

"Sally what do you think?" Hera asked.

"I love them," I told them truthfully.

"Wonderful! Now we just have to get them in our sizes, and then we can pay for them!" Hera and Aphrodite were radiating with excitement. They both had big grins on their faces, and if they weren't in public, I swear that they would be jumping up and down. My bridesmaids got their dresses in their sizes, we bought them, and then we were off. I felt a sense of accomplishment of what I had just done.

----------------

The next week was all last minute planning, so Hera, Aphrodite, and I were making sure everything was perfect. We had sent out the invitations to Paul's side of the family already, and my side didn't need an invitation because, number one: all of my biological family was dead except Percy, and number two, the people on my side who were coming was either a god, a goddess, or one of Percy's friends. I let Percy invite some people, because I didn't want him and Annabeth to be bored. Percy had invited Tyson, Nico, Rachel, Tommy, Tracey, Theodore, and Thalia. Thalia was only coming because she begged Artemis to let her go for her friends. She promised not to socialize in any flirtatious way to the men invited. She was allowed to talk, just no flirting was allowed.

I was getting more and more excited by the minute. I was getting married. I was actually getting married, and this time, it was because I loved him, not because I was protecting Percy. The first time didn't even seem real; all it seems like now is a bad dream that Percy helped me wake up from. He supplied me with the head. I supplied the victims. The head supplied the statue that made me lots of money. So now, the nightmare is over, and the dream begins.
