CHAPTER 21:

Percy POV

She said yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Is this really happening? Because there's no way my life can be this good.

I look up to see Annabeth's beautiful face, tears streaming down her cheeks, and happiness portrayed on every inch of skin.

I stood up and gently wiped the tears away from her cheeks. "Thank you thank you thank you." I whispered, and then kissed her forehead.

"For what?" She asked, genuinely confused.

"You said yes." I say.

She looked genuinely surprised, and then she started to laugh. "Did you think I would say no?"

I looked at the floor sheepishly. "Maybe…"

"Seaweed Brain!" She scolded, looking genuinely shocked that I would even think that.

"What?" I respond defensively.

"I love you. Of course I would say yes. You mean everything to me." At that, I just kissed her passionately.

Thank Aphrodite that I got this lucky.

Jason POV

Watching Percy and Annabeth, all of the rest of us slowly began to back away. It was silent as we all took in what just happened. Most of us knew it was coming, Percy had told the Seven, Thalia and Nico. But everyone else was shocked.

"Did that really just happen?" Clarisse whispered. "Prissy and Princess are getting married?" I'm surprised that she reacted like that.

"Yeah, they might be young, but after everything-how could they not?" Piper says, looking happy for our friends.

Leo smiles. "Yeah-and now we're going to be in a wedding!" Calypso shoved him gently.

"Leo! They might not have us in the wedding party!"

"Nah. Of course they want Flamin' Valdez in their wedding."

"Uh… We'll have to think about that." We hear a teasing voice behind us. We all turn excitedly to see Annabeth and Percy hand-in-hand.

Their were only the slightest traces of tear tracks on Annabeth's cheeks, and no on said anything about them.

Leo looked fake hurt.

"So do you guys have any idea when the wedding is? And here or California?" I hear one of Annabeth's friends, I think it was Mary.

Annabeth and Percy nod slightly. "Well… Like Piper said, the anniversary of beating Gaia. Makes sense right? And that means we would still finish high school and have most of summer to prepare for college and stuff. And we were going to have it at Camp, but so may people wouldn't really be allowed in… So we decided why not at Montauk? I've gone with Percy, Sally and Paul before-it's beautiful." Annabeth says, looking so far away, lost in thought.

Percy squeezes her hand. "And plus, Montauk was my mom and my safe haven before we got to Camp. It holds a lot of memories. Good and bad." At that, Grover shudders.

"Yeah, boy do I remember those bad ones." He mutters, and Percy laughs.

"Yeah G-Man. I remember that too."

There's a moment of silence, and then we hear a small, almost scared voice.

"Will you leave?" We all turn to see Thalia, looking more vulnerable than I have ever seen my big sister look ever before.

Percy and Annabeth look as surprised as I feel. "No Thals. We'll stay in New York. And we'll visit Camp Jupiter, and of course the Greece honeymoon trip…" Annabeth said, looking so excited.

"I was so worried that you'd leave. Like Luke did." She said softly.

"Nah Pinecone Face, we'll always be here to torment you." Percy said winking, but we all heard the meaning in his words.

I was surprised that Thalia was acting like that, but then I realized that this girl who was like her little sister and her cousin who was one of her closest friends were getting married, and if they left then yeah she'd have the Hunters, and me and Nico and everyone else here… But Percy and Annabeth are very special to her.

Though I'm slightly jealous, I can respect that.

Sort of.

Trying to brighten the mood, Percy clapped his hands excitedly.

"Who wants to know who's in the wedding party?" He asked, smirking.

Thalia POV

I feel so relieved when Annabeth said that they were staying. I may be a Hunter, but their part of my family and I love them. Annabeth was like my little sister, and Percy was pretty much another brother.

Percy asks if we want to know who's in the wedding party, and we all answer loudly.

Annabeth glares and does a loud taxi-cab whistle getting everyone to shut up.

Aww… I'm so proud of her.

"Well… The best man is obviously Grover, if he wants to be that is," Annabeth begins and we hear a disbelieving bleat.

"What?" Grover asks, shocked.

"G-Man! You've been with me through it all-even before all this demigod stuff, when I was just a little twerp in sixth grade." Percy said, fist-bumping his best friend.

Trying to regain my senses and stop feeling so mushy, and smirk. "So not much has changed, huh Kelp Head?" He playfully sticks his tongue out at me and respond the same way.

"Uh, of course Perce! Thanks!" Grover says, looking so happy.

"Anyways… Um, Thals, would you be my maid of honor?" Annabeth asks shyly.

My head snaps up. "You want… me to be your maid of honor?" I say, not believing it.

"Yeah. You're pretty much my sister. You're the only person who I'd want to do it." She says hopefully.

"Yes! Annie, thanks. That means a lot." I say, hugging my best friend tightly.

"And for groomsmen, I was hoping for Jason, Nico, Frank, Leo and Tyson?" Percy asked.

They all respond positively.

Then Connor brings up an excellent point. "Tyson isn't here…"

"Yeah I talked to him about it. I told him that if Annabeth said yes I want him to be one of my groomsmen." Percy explained.

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "If I said yes." I hear her mumble.

"Anyways… So that makes Piper, Bianca, Hazel, Calypso and Ella for bridesmaids, if you'd accept." All of them nod excitedly.

"Don't forget to ask Tyson about Ella, Seaweed Brain." Annabeth said in a scolding manner and Percy nods.

We all stifle laughs because he's not going to remember and Annabeth will end up IMing Tyson and Percy will be standing there like an idiot wondering what he had forgotten this time.

"Oh yeah! And Marissa, would you be our flower girl?" Annabeth asked sweetly, crouching down to Marissa height.

Marissa obviously didn't know what that meant, but she nodded because she loved Annabeth.

Nellie smiled happily. "Of course Annabeth, thank you."

"What about ring bearer?" Jonas asked.

"Do you think Bobby and Michael could both do it?" Annabeth asked scrunching up her nose as she thought.

"Why not Wise Girl? And do you think Chiron could be the minister?"

"Sure, and that means we have that stuff figured out." She said looking excited. No one else seemed to see, but I noticed her glancing at her ring every so often, almost as if she wasn't believing this was real.

We all head up to our rooms and I walk alongside Annie.

"Thals, is this real? I keep feeling like this is a dream that I'm going to wake up from at any second."

"Annie, this is all real." I say and she smiles. She looks so happy that I smile with her. I hug her once we are outside of her room.

"Goodnight Thals." She said hugging me again.

"Night Annie." I say.

Annabeth POV

I literally cannot believe that that just happened.

Percy sees me looking awed and kisses me sweetly on the cheek.

"I'm so excited for our wedding Wise Girl." He whispers.

"Me too." I say, getting a little choked up.

"Hey Wise Girl?" He asks after a minute.

"Yeah?"

"Can the cake be blue?"

I laugh. Same old Seaweed Brain.

"Of course." I say, kissing him before falling asleep.
