A/N: Alright, so I know, that nobody reads this anymore, so I just want to reach my goal of 100 themes. Just a side project!
22. Do Not Disturb
The white dress trailed down my ankles and we ran down to the sea. Everybody was cheering and ecstatically following us. I kicked off my shoes and Percy threw his off too. We ran, hand in hand, through the sand, kicking up behind us.
The familiar smell of the sea splashed into my face as we ran through the waves. Percy and I planned to go out to the sea for a few hours, only in a rowboat and just by ourselves then we were going to spend a night in a tent on the beach.
The boat was willed forward to us as Percy controlled the waves so I could get in. Once we were in, there was no need for the paddles on the boat. Percy moved us out to sea. I saw all my friends waving to us.
A distant Thalia in her best hunter dress was waving us away.
Sally and Paul were holding each other tightly and smiling at us in the distance.
Grover and Juniper were trying to rally up their two small children, but Grover never broke eye contact with Percy, I knew he could tell what he was thinking through the empathy link, so there was no need for excessive waving.
Tyson was clapping his meaty hands, the sound echoing off the trees.
Piper was with Jason and they were smiling too. Her bright eyes were visible from even here.
Even my worst enemy who turned out to be a close friend was smiling and cheering. Rachael was waving goodbye to us and her smile was ecstatic with joy.
Leo was too busy checking out some Aphrodite girls who were, I had no doubt, gossiping about what was going to happen next.
Frank and Hazel were smiling at their close friend as we sailed out. Hazel's frizzy hair was blowing in the wind, plastering her face.
Nico had slipped out of a shadow to watch us bob in the shore, but he then quickly sunk back into the shadows and disappeared.
Clarisse and Chris were standing in the back. She was smiling at the ground as Chris pushed a strand of hair from her face.
Chiron was pulling at his beard, his back half prancing around. But I could tell he was smiling.
I even invited my father. He had his arms crossed triumphantly. All alone, he stood from the crowd with the biggest smile on his face. Thankfully my step mother didn't come. She would completely hate this place and probably diminish my home with insults.
Then I saw an owl fly over the trees. I must have been a trick of my imagination, but I could see Athena's grey eyes even from the distance of the sea.
Finally all of our friends' faces got smaller until I couldn't see them anymore. I turned to Percy and he was staring at something in the water.
"What's wrong?" I asked, looking into the water, seeing pair of sea green eyes sink into the water. Poseidon.
"Nothing." He said. "Let's enjoy the moment." I smiled, kissed him, and did just that.
We were out on the water until dusk. The sunset drew us back to the shore.
When I saw tent, I was expecting tent. But our friends must have spruced it up a bit.
Lanterns were making a pathway to the door that was flapping in the breeze.
Percy chuckled.
We got out of our uncomfortable and formal clothing and into the tent.
Under the covers, we wrapped our arms around each other and enjoyed the moment. Everything about the moment. I could feel his breath push my hair from my forehead and I buried my face into his chest. He radiated heat and always smelled like the sea. I liked that. At one moment, I was sure that our heartbeats blended into one rhythm. I got lost in time.
I just wished monsters could read "DO NOT DISTURB" if I put that all around the tent. But of course that didn't work.
We heard a crack in the woods as a twig snapped.
His sea green eyes that I got lost in snapped open. Percy grabbed Riptide and my hand shot for my knife.
"Ready Wise Girl?" He asked.
"Can you handle it, Seaweed Brain?" I asked and we went outside to see what had awakened us from our slumber.
A/N: Alright. Tried not to go there I think I did well!
