Chapter Six: Annabeth

October 18th

"I'm so sick of magazines!" I groan.

"I think we all are!" Rachel adds.

"I want cake!" Lucy comments.

"Lucy! We all want cake!" Susan laughs.

"I think the only people enjoying themselves is the decorating committee." Thalia says.

"Oh! No… This is just as boring!" says Hazel.

"Really?" Annamarie asks.

"Sure…" says Bianca, totally unsure.

"I'm sorry, guys." Calypso says gently. "But this is awesome!" (Totally not gently.)

"Got that right!" Reyna grins.

Those of us not on the decorating committee groan.

I flip one more page in the stupid magazine and gasp. Everybody runs over to see.

The dress is pearly white with a sea green strip around the waist and a bow on it. It's floor length (of course) and towards the bottom, the dress slowly becomes sea green. It is slightly poofy at the waist, and the sleeves are three forth length. At the bottom of the paper, it says Aphrodite Silks.

"Mom!" Piper yells.

"Don't get mad right now! Get mad after! I NEED this dress!" I say. "Wow. Who would have thought I would ever say that?"

My friends laugh. I pick up my Lotus Hotel and Casino debit card (which I thought I had lost) and say, "Let's go, girls!"
