A/N: HAPPY 11/11/11! :) :) :)

THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR ALL THE SUPPORT YOU'VE GIVEN TO ME. :D (favorites, reviews, alerts)

I was overwhelmed by them so thank you again. :)

By the way, to jeffersonauthor , thank you very much for the suggestion about putting Percy's POV but unfortunately, I have no idea how I'll insert it in here. I'm sorry. Thank you again though. :D

Anyway, here it is my readers. The last part of my little cliché story.

Er, hope ya enjoy?

Disclaimer: I do not own things you recognize.

When I heard the doorbell ring, I was expecting that it would be Percy. So, not looking into the eyes of whoever was there, I opened the door, let the person in then closed the door. You might be wondering how I could open the door without really looking at the person entering. All I have to say is that it took years of practice. It's a long story but anyway…

Then the person spoke.

"Well, somebody looks depressed. Never knew you'd go emo, Annie. The red eyes and hair all over your face look does not fit you." I'd recognize that voice any time. That was the voice of my childhood friend, and practically my sister.

"THALIA!" I then gave her a bear hug.

"So, what's been going on?" She asked once we sat down on the couch.

"Stuff." I answered plainly.

"Really now?" She said with a raised eyebrow and a heavy dose of sarcasm.

"Fine, well. Be particular."

"Why is it that you look like you've been poured on with a bucket of water, been in a catfight and then cried yourself for who knows how long?"

"You've got the last one right."

"What? What happened?"

"Percy. We had a…fight."

"About?"

"He spends too much time away from me because of his work."

"Ahh. For what reason?"

"He needs money for something I guess."

"Hmm. That's—"

"What if he's…he's…he's cheating on me?" I said with wide eyes and a panicked face.

"Annabeth, I don't think he'd do that but if he did, well that Seaweed Brain better prepare. I'll slice his head off if I have to." She said, obviously trying to comfort me. I smiled at that.

"Thanks, Thalia. By the way, what made you stop by?" I asked, changing the subject.

"Well, my band has a concert tour and I decided to go here since our venue is near this area."

Oh, I forgot to mention something. Thalia Grace is part of an all girl band called The Huntresses. She plays guitar and their lead singer is the famous Artemis. Artemis has a brother named Apollo who's also part of a band named the Sun Chariot. But that's already getting off topic. So anyway, back to the present.

"Ahh. So, you hungry? In the mood for pizza?"

"Nah, I'm good. Need to get going anyway, show starts in fifteen minutes."

"A midnight concert?"

"Yup, pretty much. You should go sometime. Let loose and be free, even if I know you don't like our music."

"Thanks for the offer but I think I'll pass."

"Suit yourself. Bye Annie. See ya soon, I hope."

"Bye Thals. We should get together sometime when you're done with that tour of yours."

"Sure. Burger at Beefy Bob's?" She said with a smirk.

"Why not?" I said with a smile.

"I really have to go now. Sorry, hope I can stay longer but I can't."

"Bye again."

With that I hugged her then she walked to the door, which at that moment someone was also outside. Percy.

"Oh, hey there Perce. I was just leaving. So, er, bye."

"Hey, I mean bye, Thals." was his reply.

"Bye. And Percy, take care of her." I heard her say before the door closed.

Frankly, I was giving him the silent treatment. I have been ever since he got home last Wednesday evening. I still did the day after that but I couldn't today. Today was going to be our dinner date; I'd have to talk to him somehow.

So, here I was dreading the date rather than anticipating it. In two hours, I'd have to find out what was really happening. I would know the real reason behind all this. Then came back the thoughts I feared. I tried to push them aside but it was hard to do. I eventually busied myself by giving myself a little bit of a make-over, even if I absolutely hated make-up and I didn't exactly want to see and talk to Percy just yet. But I had to. There was no escape, I had to face him.

I didn't expect us to eat dinner in a rooftop overlooking New York City. It was a beautiful sight, we watched the sunset before actually eating dinner. I loved seeing the sky in a blend of oranges, pinks and purples. It was amazing and I wanted to replay it all but I had to endure the unavoidable. The dinner.

Don't get me wrong, I love Percy and all but when there's a problem between us, I like to think things through. I want to really analyze the situation and be away from him for a little while. I couldn't just immediately talk to him.

So, I gave him the silent treatment once again but it didn't last long. The awkwardness only actually just lasted all throughout the appetizer. But hey, I tried.

"So, are you going to tell me or not?" I said with probably a little hint of impatience.

"Er, what?" He said, nervous. I didn't even notice that he had beads of sweat around his forehead. He looked adorable. I managed a small smile.

"The main reason, Perce. The one we've been fighting about. The explanation as to why you've been working so hard to earn money."

"Oh, that."

"Well?"

"Annabeth, I'm sorry for everything. I can't do this. I don't want to be your boyfriend."

Oh, here goes. He might as well break up with me now. I had tears in my eyes already.

"The reason why I don't want you to be my girlfriend anymore and the reason that I have to work so hard is because I wanted to buy you the most beautiful ring…for you to be my wife." He continued.

"Wait, what?" I asked, obviously surprised.

"Wise Girl, will you marry me?" He said as he kneeled down on one knee, with a lopsided grin, holding out a red box with a ring inside.

The tears in my eyes were now streaked down my face, out of happiness.

"YES, Seaweed Brain, I'd say yes a million times if I have to. Absolutely yes." I said, my face overflowing with tears of joy.

He slipped the ring on my finger. I then hugged him tightly and kissed him, letting all my fears and worries be washed away and forgotten.

"I thought for a moment there, you'd say no." He teased, once we pulled away.

"Well, I thought you'd break up with me."

"Now, why would I give up the smartest, most wonderful and most beautiful woman on the planet?"

I just smiled at that.

"Hey, I just realized something. You lied to me." I told him playfully.

"What do you mean?"

"All of this was still my fault, you know."

"Er…well, it was but everything was worth it." He smiled then kissed me on the forehead.

A/N: I don't really like how all of this turned out. It's okay I guess but I don't know how to improve it.

Anyway…review! Constructive criticism is most appreciated. You will be rewarded with a rainbow pie/cake/cupcake/food item/thing. =))

If you do not review then Kronos and Voldemort will rise again from the dead then proceed to take over the world. (Insert their maniacal laugh here) :))
