I'm sorry, guys, but I am deleting the Readers' Choice Story! I really wanted to do it, but I can't balance two stories at once, with school, and friends, and everything else. Plus, my heart wouldn't be in it as much as it is for this story.

Disclaimer: Please refer to chapter 1.

Annabeth's POV:

It's been one months since Miranda got Percy and I back together. I was actually dreading the day at the end of the summer.

Percy and Miranda were out swimming in the lake, while I'm in the bathtub, half asleep. I got up and decided to dry off. I quickly threw on a cami/tank top thingy with a built in bra, and short shorts. That's basically what I always sleep in. I put my hair in a ponytail, and climbed into bed.

I was tired, and ready to go to sleep. Just as I was almost drifting into dreamland, Miranda and Percy burst through the door. I groaned.

"Mommy! Guess what? Me and Daddy had conversations with the fishies! And then we went and talked to the horsies with wings, and a nice pretty girl taught me how to ride them, and me and Daddy had a race, and I almost won, too! And…" Miranda talked a mile a minute about her and Percy's day together.

"Cool," I said halfheartedly. "How about you get in the shower and go your butt to sleep?"

I shouldn't have dropped the hint that I was tired, because Miranda jumped on my bed and pretended it was a trampoline.

"Wake up!" she said.

"Percy, do something with your daughter," I said turning on my side and snuggling into my pillow.

"Well, I believe that she's our daughter, meaning me and you, so therefore, that makes her your daughter, too." He explained. Then, he, too, climbed on my bed and started jumping on it. Guess which one was having the most fun jumping on my bed? Here's a hint: he's the grown up.

"Miranda Marie Jackson, if you don't carry your little butt to bed, you will be grounded for the rest of the summer!" I yelled.

I imagined Percy was mouthing something to her, because when I opened my eyes again, he was winking at her, and she was winking back, and nodding her head. I decided to let that one slide.

Not to sound selfish, but I was kind of jealous at how Miranda was so close to Percy. I don't think Percy and I have ever got a minute alone, without her constantly babbling to us. But, Percy didn't exactly ask me out yet, so I shouldn't be thinking thoughts like this.

I soon heard Miranda's feet running to her room. I think this may be the first time we got a minute alone, like I said.

"So…" he said. "Would you be my girlfriend, again?"

I woke up a little.

"Of course, Seaweed Brain! It took you a month to ask me that?" I almost yelled.

"No… It took me a month to prepare for this…" he said, reaching for something. For one of the first times in my life, I was confused.

"So if you say yes to being my girlfriend again, what would you say to marrying me?" he asked.

That woke me up all the way. I was too shocked to say anything. He took out a box. He opened it to reveal a simple diamond ring on a silver band. Not too flashy.

"Annabeth Chase, will you marry me?" he asked, nervously.

"Yes!"

"It's okay I under-," he stopped. "Wait, you said yes?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!" he yelled excitedly. He hugged me very tightly.

"I love you," he whispered in my ear.

"I love you, too," I whispered, right back. Percy slid the ring on my finger, and I smiled sweetly at him.

"Goodnight," he said, walking out, shutting the door behind him. I felt a twinge of disappointment as he left the room. I wanted him to stay in here, and sleep next to me, but I've been wanting that for five years.

Finally, I laid back down, and closed my eyes, drifting into a much needed sleep.

Aww! Isn't that sweet? They're engaged! I might update later today, and tonight. I'm still not sure, though.
