A/N: Hey guys! I have yet another update for y'all!

More super gushy Percabeth ahead!

I so excited to get to Camp!

~I'm just a line breaker, don't mind me…~

ANNABETH POV

I woke up to Percy poking my shoulder, which I was not happy about.

"What Percy?" I whisper-screamed.

"Good morning to you too. We don't have anything for breakfast, do you want to go to the store?"

I rolled my eyes, "Sure, since I'm already up. Is anyone else awake?"

Percy shook his head, "Nope. Come on."

He pulled me up, and I started walking towards my room, "Let me get ready."

"You look fine."

"My hair looks like a rat's nest."

"No it doesn't. It looks beautiful. Like you."

I snorted, "You can stop being cheesy."

"I'm not being cheesy, I'm telling the truth."

"Whatever. Will you at least let me change?" I was wearing Percy's swim sweats and a tank top.

Percy smirked, "No." He grabbed me by the waist and steered me out of our condo. I could've easily broken out of his grip, but I didn't care enough to.

We hopped into his car, buckling up.

"What store are we going to?"

Percy shrugged, "What's closest?"

"Wal-Mart, I think."

After a few minutes of silent driving, we pulled into the Wal-Mart parking lot. I grabbed Percy's hand, and we strolled into the store.

Percy quickly decided that he wanted donuts, so we walked to the appropriate section of the store. We stood in front of the large glass case with a white box.

"Wise Girl," he whined, "There's no blue ones…"

"You'll live," I told him.

Percy picked out an assortment of donuts, and we walked over to the register. Percy took out his wallet to pay, and I slapped his hand,

"I'm the one who actually has a job. I'm paying."

Percy shook his head, "No way. I'm going to pay."

"I'm paying, Seaweed Brain. Get over it."

"Nope."

"Yes." I handed the smirking cashier my money, and took the box, Percy giving me the stink eye.

"Meanie."

I snorted, "I'm mean because I won't let you pay?"

He gave me a light kiss, "Yes."

We got back into the car, putting the donuts in my lap. Percy just sat there.

I gave him a funny look, "Uh, Seaweed Brain, are you going to start the car?"

"I want to spend some alone time with you."

"Okay. Where do you want to go?"

"There's a park five minutes away."

I sighed, "I'm still in my pajamas."

He smiled, "No one will care."

He drove us to the small park, grabbing my hand, and leading me to a bench. We were alone, except for two mothers, and three small children, running around a tree.

"Have I told you how much I love you?"

I smiled, "Yes. And I still love you more."

"I want to marry you someday."

I almost choked. Of course, I had though the same thing, but for Percy to say it out loud…

He pulled a gray velvet box out of his pocket, taking my hand,

"Annabeth, we've known each other for six years, and I know we both know that what we have right now is the best thing that could ever happen to both of us. I told you this before but I'll tell you again, you're it for me. I just know that you're the one for me and I can't imagine living without you. Don't freak out! I'm not asking you to marry me or something! But this ring is a promise; a promise that I will love you and only you forever. Do you, Annabeth Chase, accept my promise?"

A single tear was sliding down my face, "Of course. I accept your promise."

Percy slipped a silver ring, with little sapphires and tiny diamonds embedded in the center. A promise ring. Seaweed Brain gave me a promise ring.

"I love you," I whispered.

When he kissed me, it felt different. It felt more real, more solid.

~I'm just a line breaker, don't mind me…~

Percy and I walked into the condo, hand in hand, to find Thalia, Nico, Kaine, Lexi, Lyrical, Hazel, Frank, Abbi and Leanne, standing near the doorway in a line, arms crossed.

Thalia was the first to speak, "Where've you two been?"

"We got breakfast," I said, holding up the donut box.

"You've been gone for over an hour," Thalia pressed on.

I walked into the kitchen, setting the box down, "I don't see how that's any of your business."

Keeping up the act, I pulled Thalia into our bedroom, shutting the door.

"Percy gave me a promise ring!" I squealed.

Thalia's eyes widened, "He did not!"

I nodded, and showed her the ring.

She looked like she was about to faint, "That's so romantic! How'd he do it?"

I grinned, "He took me to the park, we sat down at a bench, then he started talking about I was the only one for him, and he pulled the ring out of a little box, and it was the most perfect thing, ever!"

My expression turned serious, "You can't tell anyone, though. I want to keep it a secret for a little while."

Thalia nodded, "My lips are sealed."

We walked out of the room, calm expressions on our faces. Frank cocked an eyebrow,

"What was all the screaming about?"

"Oh, there was a spider on the floor."

Lexi rolled her eyes, "There was not. You always call Percy to kill spiders."

"At least I don't go run into the woods and cry!" I snapped.

Percy was the peacemaker, "Ladies, let's just calm down. You both are very scared of spiders, we know."

I scowled, "I prefer the term arachnophobia."

Awkward silence…

"So," Thalia said, "Why don't we crack open that box of donuts?"

Kaine was the only one who stayed behind in the rush for food, instead grabbing a banana.

We sat down on the floor, Thalia glaring at Kaine.

"Come on, eat a donut!"

Kaine sighed, "I'm a vegan. End of story."

~I'm just a line breaker, don't mind me…~

BANG BANG.

I got up, opening the door to the redheaded Oracle.

"Hey Annabeth! Are you guys ready?"

I nodded, "I think so. We've got a ton of people, and limited space."

I opened my bedroom door, "Guys, hurry up!"

After a couple minutes, everyone had filed into the living room.

"Okay," Rachel said, "Let's get this show on the road!"

A/N: I know it's kind of short, but this is the fourth day in a row that I've updated! You should be impressed!:P

Peace, Love and Percy Jackson,
