Chapter Two: Annabeth
October 13th
"Perce? How much did you spend on this ring?" I ask, once again admiring it.
"Why do you need to know, Anna?" He replies, using my special nickname.
"Well, I love it, but if it's too much I'm going to feel guilty." I answer truthfully.
Percy laughs. "Don't worry, Annabeth. You don't have to feel guilty."
"Just because I don't have to doesn't mean I won't." I mutter.
Percy stands up, lifts my head toward his, and kisses me. "Don't worry." he repeats firmly.
"Way to avoid the question, Seaweed Brain." I laugh, hugging him. He hugs me back, and we stand like that for a few minutes, just enjoying each other's company.
"Percy! Annabeth!" someone calls. We pull away and run outside to find Rachel a feea foot away, looking around for us.
She sees us standing and looking at her.
"Making out, were you?" she smirks.
"Well, yes." I say. "If hugging is equal to making out." I add.
Rachel laughs. "I'm messing with you. Sorry, I couldn't resist this once. Anyway, Percy, you supposed to go with the guys and do whatever. I have to take Annabeth and look at wedding stuff. By the way, have you set a date?"
"How about November 13th?" Percy asks.
"Why November 13th?" I ask.
"Why not November 13th?"
I decided to let him win just once. "Fine."
Percy grins, kisses me, and runs off to the boys.
I walk into Cabin Two to find it transformed. There were now two rooms in it. In one, there was a bunch of different stations for different things. A table filled with places to get wedding cakes, where to find dresses, and so on. There is a dark blue sofa in the middle of the first room to sit in while researching everything. The second room had a makeup station, a dressing station, among other things. Frankly, it looked bigger on the inside than the outside.
"We figured Hera wouldn't mind if we did it here, even though she hates you. She has no demigod kids and is the goddess of marriage." Thalia says, answering my question before I asked it.
"So, Rachel, Calypso and Susan are in charge of the dress, Annamarie an I are in charge of makeup, Thalia, Katie and Lucy in charge in charge of cake, and Hazel is in charge of decorations along with Bianca, Clarisse and Reyna." Piper explained.
"Annabeth's wedding day is gonna be November 13th. We got a month to plan." Rachel announces.
"Okay. Umm… I'll start with the dress." I say cautiously. "If you can, can the rest of you narrow down some of the choices?" The girls nod and get to work. I sit on the blue couch with Susan and Rachel on either side of me. They point out a bunch of dresses, and a lot of them are lovely, but on me, they wouldn't look really good. I switch stations to the makeup section, but we can't do much. We decide to go shopping the next day for the best natural colors. We do the same thing with the cakes, but Reyna, Hazel and Bianca are they perfect girls for the decorations. They all have such creative ideas. White banners, white streamers, white roses. We can only work on a little today, but we're going to go shopping tomorrow for all the things we need to buy.
Somehow, for the first time in my life, I'm excited to go shopping.
