Percy POV:
Annabeth was staring at her ring. She looked like the happiest woman alive. Since she won Monopoly, that was her award. But seriously, I lost on that game so I can give her the ring. Tyson, my bro, you're the best!
Anyways, Ella came in and smacked her lips at Tyson. Love is stirring! Sorry, but anyways, Annabeth and I are going to prepare our wedding. Annabeth got most of the job done; his majesty got everything coordinated, while I just have to buy her a wedding dress.
"Percy…isn't the weather quite strange?" Annabeth asked.
"Why?" I asked.
"It's spring, and it was snowing," she proclaimed.
"Maybe…you know…transitions…"
"I guess so," Annabeth sighed. "But I still call it weird."
I nodded, and we both smiled at each other. "Percy…can you tell me when you actually wanted to marry me?"
I hesitated. When did I? But I just remembered, the time when Annabeth was dragged away, the moment I knew that nothing can separate us…that time. That moment. That thought.
"Well…I wanted to marry you since I realized that we could never split apart," I exclaimed.
"I wanted to marry you exactly that time too," Annabeth laughed.
"Wow, then we are so similar!" I said.
"Okay…I am going to ask a question, and you answer directly, okay? I'll do too," Annabeth said. I nodded.
"Question one…what is your favorite fast food?" she asked. I hollered out hamburger, while she hollered out French fries.
"Huh," I said.
"Okay," she said. "Question two…what's your favorite movie types?"
At the same time, I said action. She said comedy. "Okay," I said. "That can be just a difference. There won't be that many…"
And as we played that game, we argued about which book is better, which part of the forest is better, which color is better, which jewel is better, etc. We had an argument till finally Calypso stopped us. Now where did Calypso come?
"Guys…Leo and I were just here to tell you that we are engaged! And once we did so, you guys are like arguing on stupid matters! Who argues about jelly beans?"
"Hey," I objected. "Blueberry flavor is life. The color blue is pretty, and the flavor is delicious!"
"Excuse me," Annabeth defended herself. "Strawberry jelly beans taste way better. Who does not like them? I don't care about the color; the taste is the best."
"Well blueberry jelly beans got the color and flavor, so-,"
"YOU GUYS ARE PATHETIC! SNAP OUT OF IT!" Leo shouted. The room was silent for just a few seconds. "Guys…we were just going to say, we're going to get engaged, and we are going to marry when we have time. But we're working on an autoshop first, so we can't. That's all. And you guys are arguing about…."
We laughed. Annabeth and I looked so pathetic. I just realized that fighting for jelly beans was so stupid.
"Annabeth…am I seeing a ring on your left finger?" Calypso gasped. Annabeth blushed.
"Who are you going to marry?" she leaped up and down, looking quite hyper.
"You already know the answer," Annabeth blushed. "It's Percy."
Calypso and Leo made quite a big deal out of it. Anyways, we talked until finally they had to go. Annabeth and I had to buy a wedding dress, and she tried every single one.
But in every dress, she looked beautiful.
But the most beautiful dress that she wore was a plain dress. It was beautiful. The top was a tank top, it was puffy but not that puffy, and it wasn't full of sequins and blah blah blah blah blah. It was gorgeous. And when his majesty came and put a crown on her head, she looked so beautiful, his majesty bursted out of the room crying. I followed him, and he kept saying that he didn't believe that his daughter would get married. It was quite awkward, but as a future son-in-law, I had to listen. Rachel soon came, saying that she wants to get married with Luke at summer. She wants a beach marriage festival.
His majesty was a supportive father. And once his majesty had to go to a meeting, it was just Annabeth and me.
She gave me a flirtatious smile, and ran off. I felt kind of sorry for her, because she couldn't run as fast because of the high heels and dress. But she was very fast. I scooped her up, and I was even surprised when she pressed her lips on mine. We kissed like that until a servant gasped, and turned away. We pulled away, and saw a blushing servant.
"Sorry miss…just was going to see if you were done…"
"It's okay," Annabeth said. I put her down. "Is that a ring on your left finger? Annie…you never told me you were married!"
Now who was Annie? Anyways, the girl named Annie responded, "Too much couples are marrying. I am marrying at the spring!"
"Gosh, are you going to attend it soon?"
"Duh?" she said. She was blushing furiously.
Why don't you try on this dress," Annabeth said.
"No…that's too-,"
"Try it on," Annabeth said. And she scooted Annie to the dressing room. And a few minutes later, Annie looked gorgeous.
I gave them a thumbs up, and Annabeth grinned. "Anyways, that will be your wedding dress. Understood?"
"Your highness, I-,"
"I have to overexaggerate this; do not call me highness! I am Annabeth, an equal person exactly worth like you! I may be a ruler of this kingdom, but I am exactly the same. Annie…please…"
Annie smiled. "Okay. I'll try. And thank you."
She hugged her, and then Annie scooted away. "Nice deed Annabeth," I exclaimed.
"Now…Percy, the prince, what are you going to do to this princess?"
"Hmmm…" I said, smiling more then ever.
"You've caught the princess," she said playfully. "Will you be kind and let her go?"
"Nope," I said. "You know what I am going to do?"
"What?" Annabeth asked, smiling more than ever.
"I'm going to let you read me Oliver Twist. Yesterday, you didn't…"
"Of course," she said, pecking my cheeks. "I'll help you learn how to read like all the others."
I smiled at her. She smiled at me.
And after that, and after she changed, we skipped on, reading the second chapter of Oliver Twist.
Hope you liked this chapter! :D
