Percy POV:
"Annabeth, you have to get up. You can't stay in bed all day." I told her. She gave me a look of annoyance.
"They're going to attack me with shades of pastel and floral arrangements again!" She cried. I laughed, so was overreacting. It was a week before our wedding, and she was starting to get extremely bored with all the wedding plans.
"Aren't you going cake tasting today?" I asked her, remembering her being excited for that particular event.
"Skatá!" She yelled, which is Greek for 'crap!'. She jumped out of the bed, and got dressed in about two seconds, ran into the bathroom, brushed her teeth, then ran out the door.
I chuckled to myself. Only Annabeth would've done that.
I trained for the remainder of the morning, and then I headed to breakfast with Nico and Zach.
"I think I'm in love." Nico said as we were eating. I looked at him funny. Nico wouldn't usually say something like that.
"Got laid last night, huh?" Zach asked, trying to hold in laughter.
"Yep." Nico breathed. "It was mind blowing." He continued.
"Dude, we're trying to eat." Zach and I both said.
"Oh c'mon, like you guys wouldn't like to tell me how amazing Kate and Annabeth are." He said. I looked at Zach.
"Annabeth would kill me." I said.
"Kate would shoot me where it hurts with an electric arrow." Zach said.
Nico looked at us disappointed. "You know, I bet they tell each other everything." He said, looking frustrated.
"Probably." Zach and I said in unison, then we all laughed.
"Speaking of our girls, I heard Kate walked in on you and Annabeth that night we had the water balloon fight." Zach said, laughing, but I could tell he wasn't sure if it was true or not.
"Your girlfriend should learn to knock." I retorted. Zach looked at Nico and they both doubled over laughing.
Once the laughter died down, we all went down to the big house and started playing ping pong. After a couple of hours, Annabeth, Thalia, Rachel, and Kate, all came into the big house holding fairly large to-go boxes.
"I picked the 27 layered chocolate cake." Annabeth said, opening one of the boxes and eating a piece of cake.
"Sounds delicious." I said, giving her a kiss on her forehead.
"And, I got blue icing, just for you." She said, smiling.
"And I that's why I'm marrying you!" I said, giving her a kiss. A bunch of younger campers screamed "eeew!" and ran out of the big house.
"Rachel here, is a pretty good at negotiating, and the lady at the bakery gave us about twenty cakes to take back here. For free!" Kate said. Rachel blushed, and Thalia laughed.
"Where are the other cakes?" Nico asked, looking excited.
"Oh we ate them all." Thalia said, a faint smile her face. I looked at Annabeth and she mouthed 'in the car'.
"You girls eat like truck drivers, know that?" Nico said, looking a little hurt he didn't get any cake.
"Relax, dead head. They're in the car." Thalia said, punching him in his arm.
"We've decided that we're going to give the cake to the winning team of capture the flag tonight." Annabeth announced.
Kate looked at Annabeth. "When did we decide this?" She asked.
"When I realized my wedding dress is a size 2." Annabeth said. "I don't think Aphrodite would want me to altar her dress." She said.
"Whoa, Aphrodite made your wedding dress?" Zach asked, before I could even ask.
Annabeth's face blushed slightly. "Well…yeah. With my mom's permission." She said slightly embarrassed.
"The dress is absolutely GORGEOUS!" Kate began, "It has a over the shoul-" she began before Rachel cupped her hand over her mouth.
"Sorry…" She said sheepishly.
They all went to cake the cakes and announced the game of CTF.
Annabeth POV: You can have cake and eat it too.
Tonight was the first time in a long time the Aphrodite kids actually participated in CTF.
"We want wedding cake!" was their battle cry. Thalia, Kate, Rachel, and I decided not to join in, as we'd had enough cake that day. The boys, however, wanted cake, so they joined in.
We sat on the porch of the big house, and I was reading a book while they picked out flower arrangements and were making seating charts.
"Okay so can't put Emma anywhere near Logan, because they broke up." Kate would say. Rachel would suggest putting so-and-so next to –what's-her-face, and Thalia was making a wedding sound track.
"What you and Percy's song, Annabeth?" Thalia asked.
"Here in your arms, by hellogoodbye." I told her.
"Which singers have to be on the sound track?" she asked.
"Um, Taylor Swift, uh, Percy likes Coldplay, maybe some Lady Gaga, but absolutely NO Goth music Thalia." I told her, cautiously. "This is a wedding, not a funeral." I told her.
She pouted, but I stood my ground. Rachel looked up and laughed and Kate said "Rachel, be like the old lady who fell off the wagon."
We all looked at her confused. "Never mind!" She said.
A group of Aphrodite campers stormed up to the porch of the big house holding the opposing team's flag.
"We want wedding cake!" a girl named Jenna shouted.
"Yeah!" The rest of the yelled in reply.
Kate and Rachel went into the big house and walked out with a load of to-go boxes. They handed them out to the campers, and they looked more than pleased.
We saw Percy, Zach, and Nico trudge up to the porch, and Percy slumped down into a chair next to me.
"I'm so tired." He breathed. I got up and sat down on his lap, and signalled for Kate to hand me a piece of cake.
"Why thank you, wise girl." He said, looking pleased.
"Oh, you thought this was for you?" I said, teasingly.
"Just let me have some cake, Annabeth" he said, sounding exhausted.
"Fine." I said, smashing it into his face. I jumped out of his lap, and he chased me around the porch.
"Don't you want a kiss, my beautiful fiancée?" He asked teasingly, and he caught me at the waist. I looked up at him, wiped a piece of cake off his nose, and ate it.
"Good cake." I said.
"It is really good cake, isn't it?" He said. But as soon as I distracted him, I was able to free myself, and scream "Help! Help! He's attacking me! Someone save me!" as loud as I could while Percy ran after me with a face covered in cake.
"You are way to smart, wise girl!" he shouted after me. I laughed and shouted some more, but then I just pulled my cap out of my pocket, disappeared, and watched as Percy ran in circles trying to find me.
Suddenly I felt Percy pull my cap off.
"How do you always find me?" I asked, actually wanting to know.
"I can just sense you." He said, giving me a dazzling smile.
I stood on my tippy toes and kissed him, and he lifted me off the ground and spun me around, as if I was light as a feather.
"How do you do that?" I asked.
"Do what?" He said, looking into my eyes as if he were trying to read ly thoughts.
"Like pick me up as if I'm light as a feather. You can do that even when I'm wearing full Greek armour." I said. He looked at me a laughed quietly to himself.
"Annabeth, you don't exactly weigh a lot." He said, chuckling. "You're just tiny, learn to love it." He said, teasing me.
"Yeah but I can still take you down any day." I reminded him.
"Touché." He said, giving me a kiss on my forehead.
We walked hand in hand to our cabin (well technically it was his cabin, but he was the only one their since Zach and Kate usually snuck into the guest cabin's) and got ready for bed.
"One week." I breathed as I washed my face.
"One week." He repeated. "Until I make you my wedded wife." He said, giving me a kiss on the back of my head.
