Hi Guys this is gonna be a two shot like this is the pre-prom stuff like getting ready pictures limos...stuff like that then the next chapter will actually be the prom dance k! No heros of olympus in this one

I looked at myself in the mirror and ran my hand down my blue long dress. Tonight was my junior Prom with Percy, for my sophomore year I went to a boarding school in midtown but decided to join Percy and all my friends at Goode for my junior and senior year. Now Prom was finally here and I was waiting for Percy Sally and Paul to come over to my one bedroom brownstone. My golden hair was curled but my curls looked more controlled than normal. My hair was half up half down with a silver barrette to hold it in place. I was wearing a blue high low strapless dress that had subtle sparkles in the fabric. Percy would love it and it would look great in the pictures. And hen after our pictures our friends would come over and we would take group pictures go out to eat and then to the dance. It would be as they say a night of dreams.

At 6:30 the doorbell rang. I got up and spun one more time in the mirror to make sure I looked okay my makeup was beautifully subtle, all the hairs were in place, not a wrinkle in my dress. I walked to the door and opened it to see Seaweed brain leaning against the doorframe. His black tux was perfect and his bow tie matched my dress. His hair was unruly but some how he made it look so good. His eyes sparkled when they landed on me.

"You look absolutely gorgeous, Wisegirl" he said hugging me.

"not to bad yourself" I said as Sally, Paul, Kat, Spencer, Sadria,and Connor approached the door. Sally stopped dead in her tracks a few feet in front of the door.

"Oh my," she said, "you look absolutely stunning Annabeth!"

"Thanks Sally" I told her giving her and Paul a hug,"come on inside."

The next thirty minutes consisted of the 8 of us chatting and of course pictures.

Sally I think took enough pictures to fill endless scrap books. She got a really cute picture of me putting the flower thing on Percy's coat and him putting the wrist flower on me.

Percy was starting to get fed up with the pictures so it's a good thing the doorbell rang.

Our friends poured in by the twos. First Max and Carter, then Clarisse and Chris, and Thalia and Nico. We took about a million more photos Before we were released to go into the limo to go to dinner.

"Well this should be fun!" Kat exclaimed while waiving her arms around, but since we were in a limo she hit Carter and Max in the faces.

"Watch it Kat," Carter said rubbing her nose where Kat hit her,"Okay who gave her expresso."

We all got a laugh out of that as we arrived at our restaurant Todezo

.

"Ya! This is my favorite!" Nico exclaimed as he got out of the limo a ran into the resturant shutting the car door in Thalia's face.

"Such a gentleman." Thalia said voice dripping with sarcasm as she opened the door so we could all get out.

I smiled at Annabeth as I grabbed her hand to help her out of the limo.

"Why thank you Mr. Jackson" Annabeth said in a british accent taking my hand

.

"Anytime Miss Chase I said in my british accent kissing her hand.

"Quit rubbing it in y'all" Thalia said entering the restaurant.

The restaurant was an Italian restaurant with white table cloths and Italian themed decor. We all sat at a long table in the back receiving a menu from our Italian waiter.

"Here Senar, here bella." He said handing Annabeth and I menus.

He took our drink orders one by one coming down the table.

"Miss what would you like?" he asked Kat.

"Um i'll have an expresso please." Kat said sweetly.

"NO!" everyone yelled at her.

"Fine," She said, " i'll take a tea.

"Senar what do you want?" he asked me

"Coke please." I told him hearing a few comments and humored snorts coming from Carter and Thalia like 'of course he got that.'

I very maturely stuck my tongue out at them.

"And Bella what would you like?" He asked Annabeth smiling at her

"A tea please." Annabeth said smiling back.

"I'll get those right to you" he said walking away.

"Why'd he call you Bella?" I asked Annabeth confused."That's not your name."

"That's Italian for beauty, Percy." Sadria said.

"I looked at Annabeth who was looking down blushing at her menu.

"Seriously I have to deal with an Italian waiter on Prom night."

"Your not gonna do a thing Percy." Annabeth said to me in a warning tone.

"Fine but if that.." I started

"PERCY." Annabeth exclaimed."Don't Finish that sentence."

The dinner was good...Except the waiter kept flirting with Annabeth which was ticking me off. And of course Carter and Thalia were having a good laugh over my jealousy So I sent them a glare but that just made them laugh harder.

We all loaded back into the limo to go to our prom.

"I don't like that place."I said bitterly.

"Why?"Annnabeth sais with her eyebrows scrunched up,"I really enjoyed my food."

Thalia and Carter were in a laughing fit and Annabeth was looking at them like they had lost their minds.

"I'm Confused what funny?" She asked

"The hot waiter...was..hitting..on you...Percy's...face..." Thalia explained through laughter.

"Oh" Annabeth said realization in her voice.

She leaned over and whispered in my ear so that only I could hear her.

"I'm yours forever don't you ever forget that." She said into my ear and grabbing my hand so I could feel the cool metal of the gold infinity promise ring on her finger.

"Forever." I told her kissing her temple
