POV Percy
After going back to New York, Annabeth and I decided to have some friends over to tell them the big news. Grover and Juniper arrived first, followed by Nico and Thalia. When they came over, Grover was chomping at the can to go to the movie, but we had news for them. I started simply by saying,
"Wait, Anna and I have some news."
Thalia:"Oh Gods. Did you get her pregnant?"
Annabeth: "Real funny, Thal. Percy proposed!"
Juniper:"Oh my gods thats so exciting!"
Nico, being the demon he is, questioned, "Wait-she said yes, right?" That earned him a punch in the arm, but I just loved Annabeth's response of "Of course I did."
Grover wrapped it up nicely by saying, "Well, congrats, guys. I always knew you two would end up together, from our first quest. When you two hated each other." We headed out to the movie, and I had my hand on Annie's hip as always. I could tell she loved it, because, while I was watching the movie, she was staring at me, I could feel her eyes on my face. We picked up some ice cream afterwards. Thalia had to be smart and ask who was planning our wedding. While Annabeth and I just stared dumbly at one another, Juniper had a spazz attack and began jumping up and down, offering to plan it. Having no one else better, we agreed. Juniper declared tomorrow to be dress day, and Nico and Grover agreed to help me with a suit. Oh gods, it's starting.
