Percy POV:
I wake up, seeing Tyson and Mom's worried face.
"Percy!" Mom says, kissing my forehead. "You alright?"
"What happened?" I asked, quite confused.
"Oh dear," Mom said worriedly. "Did you lose your memory?"
"What? No," I said. "But what happened?"
"You fainted dear," Mom said, stroking my hair.
"Annabeth," I whispered. Tyson heard me.
"Mom…let's bring Annabeth," Tyson said. Now I was worried. What if Mom considers Annabeth badly?
"Of course," Mom said, smiling. "I feel so sorry for her…poor dear!"
And soon, Annabeth walked into the door. She was wearing pajamas, and her hair was all messy. Tears were balancing on her lashes, and she gave me a grateful smile.
"Mrs. Jackson, I can explain-,"
"Dear," Mom said, immediately wiping Annabeth's tears when they fell. "I still consider you superior. I know…you think I hate you. But no…that's not the case. I was quite worried about Percy, but the actions of you two showed me something…"
"What?" I asked, smiling.
"It's the act of a good husband and wife," Mom exclaimed. Annabeth looked down, and I can see her blush. And since Mom started to say that, I blushed too.
"I'll leave," Tyson says. Tyson, you're the best! "Mom…let's go."
Mom was dragged and when Tyson and my eyes met, I mouthed 'thank you'. He nodded, and finally it was just Annabeth and I.
"Gosh," she said, hugging me. "I missed you."
"Annabeth…you promise you won't suffer again, right?" I asked, stroking her hair.
"I'm not sure about that," she said tears already falling down. "But I can promise one thing!"
"What?" I asked.
"I'll keep myself safe. At least for the time being. And I will think positively; I will not suffer. And so will you," she said, pecking my cheeks. I hug her tightly. I was on the bed, sitting down, and she was just leaning on me. I felt great finally not able to suffer the dehydration or the wounds I got in the forest.
"Wise girl, you better listen to me," I said, giving her a smile.
"What seaweed brain?" she asked me.
"You are never going to part away from me, understand?" I asked, kissing her forehead.
"I love you Percy."
"I love you Annabeth."
And we were hugging each other till the nurse came to feed both of us medicine.
…
"Tyson, make me a pretty ring…quick."
"Why?" Tyson asked suspiciously.
"I'm going to ask Annabeth to be my wife. Why else would I ask?" I asked.
"Asked Mom?" Tyson asked.
"Am going to now. So just make a ring…quick!"
And Tyson strode off. Mom soon came. Annabeth was with his majesty, reading a book.
"Percy…you said there is an emergency. What's wrong?" Mom asked in a worried tone.
"I need permission though," I said. I felt exactly when I was a little kid, always asking permission.
"What?" she asked, holding my hands.
"I want to marry someone," I said. She smiled.
"Who?" she asked, grinning real big.
"Anna-,"
"Approved," Mom said. "Go propose to her!"
"I am not going to propose to her directly," I said, smiling mischievously.
"Then how?" Mom asked.
"You'll know soon. All I need is Tyson to make a ring, and I'm set."
Mom and I talked about how Dad and Mom got married, and then she went.
Today, I am going to propose to Annabeth Chase.
Annabeth POV:
"So you wanted to read Oliver Twist?" I asked. Percy nodded.
"We met by appointing that book. But we seriously got no time!" Percy whined.
"Okay…but before we do, I am going to make hot chocolate. You go read the newspaper. Tell me about the news," I exclaimed. It was snowing, I was wearing a scarf, and I saw Percy sipping coffee.
"You know Annabeth," Percy explained. "I want your opinion."
"What opinion?" I ask. I was boiling the water.
"You know," he said. "Just a random opinion."
"What kind of opinion?" I asked. "Perhaps…is it architecture?"
"You're full of architecture. I would love to hear your opinion about famous buildings, and which one is your favorite…but nah. This one's a little different. A little personal."
What on earth is he talking about?
"So your point is?" I asked. I was putting in the cocoa mix, and adding the boiling water into the cup. Aw…I am going to make it delicious.
"It's just an opinion," Percy explained.
"Go on," I said, grinning. I was stirring the cocoa mix. "Oh, before you try to even make me chose one option, why don't you choose whether you want peppermint or not?"
"Ah…I'll take peppermint," Percy said dreamily. I ran towards him, kissed his cheeks, and went back.
"Seriously Annabeth?" Percy said in a playful tone.
"What?" I defended.
"Come here," he said.
"No," I protested.
"Please?"
"No."
"Then, there leaves me no choice."
"Percy, don't you gahhh!" I screech. He scooped me up, and kissed me on the lips. And I smile while kissing him. I seemed as if I was married with him. I wondered when he'd propose. Now why am I thinking this way? I know he loves me…and now I am a little confused. Just propose Percy!
When we pulled away, I smiled. "Please let me down."
"Not yet," he said, and kissed me again. We continued that until finally I really stopped. "I would like to kiss you more, but the thing is, I'm worried if the hot chocolate is cold!"
I checked, and it was still warm. "Lucky us!"
And I stirred. Percy went back on the sofa, and read the newspaper. "Now," he said. "I want your opinion."
"Uh-huh…keep on going," I said. "What's your choice for me to choose?"
"Don't you think Annabeth Jackson sounds better then Annabeth Chase?" he asked. I stopped. Did he just propose. "Tell me."
This was my answer. I looked at him, tears forming in my eyes. "In my opinion," I said, giving him such a happy stare. He proposed to me! "I like Annabeth Jackson."
Percy rose up, looking like the happiest man on earth. "Really?" he exclaimed. His eyes were gleaming.
"Annabeth Chase…it's good, but I like Annabeth Jackson better."
"Would you like to have the name Annabeth Jackson? Would you want that new name for the rest of your life?"
I replied, "Yes. I want to be Annabeth Jackson for the rest of my life."
Percy smiled. But he looked so frozen. I walked over to the hot chocolate, and handed him a cup. "You look like a statue," I said. "Here."
And I took a sip. And before I knew it, the warm cup of chocolate was replaced by Percy's lips. "Would you like to be Percy Jackson's wife? You get the name," he whispered. Our eyes were millimeters apart, and he sure did smell like peppermint. Here was my real choice. Should I really say yes?
"This is my opinion," I said, smiling at him. "I love you."
"Meaning?" he whispered back.
"I love you, and I was dreaming to be your wife."
And before I knew it, we kissed again. And after that, we played chess, and soon kissed each other again.
Today was the best day of my life.
And now, I am officially Percy's girl.
