Bachelor Parties

"You're having a bachelor party!?"

"It wasn't my idea! It was all the guys! They planned it not me!" I said holding up my hands.

"It was the Stolls wasn't it…"

"And Grover, Nico, Leo, Frank, and Jason. And a lot of other guys too."

"What is it with guys and Bachelor Parties?"

"Well as Connor and Travis put it, it's my last night of freedom before…" I trailed off.

"Before what?" She said in an annoyed tone crossing her arms over her chest.

"Before the overbearing wife takes control. Their words not mine!" I said shielding my face.

"Oh they are so going to get it! Do you have any idea what goes on at bachelor parties!?"

"Um yes… I went to Grover's remember."

"But his wasn't planned by the Stoll brothers! It is guaranteed to be a stereotypical bachelor party! Strippers, bars, dancers!" She said waving her arms around.

"I'm sure it won't be—" One glare from Annabeth and I changed my mind, "Okay it probably will be. But please it's already planned and this is like a rite of passage for men!"

"You know bachelor parties originated back in ancient Greece, when Spartan soldiers developed a tradition of toasting each other on the eve of a fellow warrior's wedding. Then it became a formal black-tie dinner hosted by the groom's father, with toasts to the groom and the bride. And now it's just become this huge thing of going to exotic places like strip clubs or Las Vegas, which is the most popular place for bachelor parties, with all your guy friends."

"Please… I promise Grover will keep me in line."I begged.

"I swear if you come back tomorrow with a hangover—"

"Thanks Wise Girl I love you!" I exclaimed and kissed her before running off to go shower.

After I came out of the shower and had changed into some new clothes I walked out to see Annabeth on the couch reading.

I walked up to her and gave her a quick peck on the cheek. "The guys should be here any minute."

"I still can't believe you're going to leave me all alone the night before our wedding." She said not looking up from her book.

"You could get some of the girls to come over and talk about girl-stuff..." I noticed her roll her eyes, I was about to say something else when there was a knock at the door.

"That must be them." I said walking to the door and opening it, "Hey guys ready to— Thalia!? What are you doing here?"

Completely ignoring me she walked into the apartment, "Annabeth, come on the girls are all waiting outside."

"Wait what's going on?" I asked turning to Annabeth, who had a big grin on her face.

"I'm having a bachelorette party!"

"Wait what? So you mean… Wait you're not going to have male strippers are you?" I groaned

Thalia answered for her, "Of course there are going to be strippers! What kind of bachelorette party doesn't!? We're going to have it all, alcohol, clubs, and male strippers!"

"Sorry Seaweed Brain." She shrugged with a smirk, "And don't worry I'll try not to get too out of control." She said following Thalia to the door, "Bye!" And she walked out the door. "So Thals how many strippers are there going to be?"

Lexie: This was fun to write, especially the ending. Just to clarify I have no experience in what goes on at either of these parties, all the info I got was from research off the internet. Any of my older viewers ever gone to a bachelor/bachelorette party?

I know this chapter was completely random, but if you're clever you can figure out what I'm building up to. Think about a few chapters ago.
