Chapter 7: The Wedding

Theseus's POV

The council of twelve departed leaving Athena and I. Percy and Annabeth were talking near the door to the thrown room. I looked to my left and saw Athena smiling at me. I couldn't help but blush at the rush of excitement than ran through me when she smiles.

"My love shall we visit with them?" I asked as I motioned toward Annabeth and Percy.

"Yes, I would like that." Athena said smiling broadly.

We walked toward Percy and Annabeth, as we approached Athena and I shrank down to human size.

"Theseus, the armor is beautiful, thank you." Annabeth said.

"Your welcome!" I said.

"Yes, brother the armor is incredible." Percy said.

"I'm glad you like it." I said.

"Your a god now an Olympian no less." Percy said.

"It is a little overwhelming, but yes I am." I said.

"I'm so proud of you brother." Percy said.

"Thank you." I said.

"Annabeth, Percy please wait in the garden, Theseus and I need to talk." Athena said as she hugged Annabeth goodbye.

As soon as Annabeth and Percy left the thrown room. I turned to face Athena, without warning she charged at me and kissed me hard and hugged me tightly. I was thrown off guard at first then I melted under her kiss. I embraced her warmly and kissed her passionately in return. We broke apart a few moments later still holding hands.

"I couldn't wait any longer to do that, I thought I lost you again." Athena said, she was red in the face and her lips were swollen. To me she looked more beautiful than ever.

"Well I'm glad we're still together as well. I was worried for a moment myself, but now I get to be on the council with you. I'm happy, but this has all happened so fast." I said.

Athena just looked at me and smiled. I couldn't focus at the moment as I was mesmerized by her smile.

"Are you alright?" Athena asked concerned.

"I'm fine I was just lost in thought for a moment, thats all." I said as I finally recovered.

"How do you feel?" Athena asked.

"Incredible, like I could do anything." I said.

Before Athena could say anything else, Zeus appeared behind us and said, "Daughter and nephew, we need to discuss your wedding."

"What about it father?" Athena asked.

"How about we plan for your wedding to be tomorrow?" Zeus said.

"Tomorrow isn't that a short time to get prepared?" I asked.

"Not when your a god. Besides we need a celebration for your godhood and what better way to do that than for you to marry Athena tomorrow." Zeus said.

"I certainly can't argue with that, that sounds great." I said.

Athena looked at Zeus thoughtfully and said, "Agreed, we'll marry tomorrow."

"Great then I will make all of the preparations, Hermes already has your list of guests and he is already delivering invitations and setting up transportation. All either of you need to worry about are your clothes, vows and wedding bands." Zeus said as he smiled then disappeared.

"I think he is even more excited about this wedding than we are." I said.

Athena looked at me smiled and then laughed. Her laugh was incredible.

"You really need to do that more often." I said.

"Do what?" Athena asked.

"Laugh, its incredible!" I said, probably sounding totally cheesy.

"You need to go get ready for tomorrow." She said as she leaned forward and kissed me. Then she disappeared.

I walked outside to the garden to see Annabeth and Percy sitting on a bench kissing sweetly. I cleared my throat and they both jumped apart.

"Did I interrupt something." I said trying not to laugh.

"No, we were just ..." Percy said before Annabeth hit him in the ribs.

"We're alright, what's up?" Annabeth asked trying to change the subject.

I can take a hint.

"Well it looks like your mother and I are getting married here tomorrow." I said with a huge smile on my face.

"You are!" Annabeth said.

"Why so fast?" Percy asked.

"Zeus wants a party for me and he thought, what a better celebration than a wedding." I said.

"We have so much to prepare for, we have to go now!" Annabeth said.

"Calm down the gods will help you get prepared. I just have to get myself prepared. Let's go!" I said. I held onto Percy and Annabeth, then I pictured camp and before I knew what happened we materialized in the middle of the mess hall. All of the campers were eating and stopped when they saw me. They all stood up and bowed politely. Then thunderous applause rang out lead by Chiron and Dionysus, I smiled and said,

"Thank you friends and heroes. As I take it you all have heard by now that I'm a god and I am also a member of the council of twelve." When I said that I gave a slight nod and smile to Dionysus Who smiled back at me.

"I'm the god heroes and as such I must instill in all of you the virtuous qualities of a true hero; loyalty, courage, honor and self-sacrifice. With that I will remain as a trainer of heroes. I will be taking the place of Mr. D, as camp leader." I said, I could see Dionysus smile at that last statement.

"I will not have a cabin of my own here as I consider everyone here at the camp as my family now. Feel free to come to me with your problems, your concerns, I will always be there for you. Remember that!" I said. After I finished the campers exploded in applause and then I walked over to the camp leaders table and sat down between Chiron and Dionysus

"That was a great speech, Lord Theseus." Chiron said.

"Its just Theseus, please my friend." I said.

"Alright, so your the new camp leader. Well someones got to keep you and Dionysus in line." I said.

"I thought with you taking over that my time here is done." Dionysus said hopefully.

"Well I tried to get Zeus to reduce your punishment completely but he only reduced it by twenty-five years." I said.

"Well I guess thats something, twenty-four years to go. If your camp leader what am I suppose to do?" Dionysus asked.

"Well Zeus wanted you to be camp recreation director, he even gave you a pretty generous budget." I said.

"Who convinced him of that?" Dionysus asked.

"Well, I thought you needed a job befitting your special talents." I said as I placed my hand on his shoulder and smiled.

"That doesn't sound bad, thank you my friend." Dionysus said.

"One last thing my friend, Zeus needs you on Olympus, he's planning a party." I said.

"A party for you and the victory over Kronos and Typhon." Dionysus said.

"Well, that is part of it, but no this is a wedding party." I said.

"Whose getting married?" Dionysus said. He looked at Chiron and I then a thought hit him. He looked at me and smiled broadly. "It will be my honor." He said and then he disappeared.

"I guess you will be staying with me in the big house." Chiron said.

"Well I can't stay in the Poseidon cabin, it wouldn't be fair to the other campers." I said.

Chiron got up and walked to the front of the mess hall.

"Heroes, tomorrow we are all invited to a special celebration at Mount Olympus. Tomorrow morning you will come to the big house at seven in the morning to receive your wardrobe for the festivities." Chiron said, I could hear the campers yelling questions like, is this a party?

Chiron smiled and said, "Of a sort, it could even be called a celebration. Tomorrow afternoon at two Lord Theseus and Lady Athena will be married." A hush silence went through the room and then suddenly the Athena and Poseidon cabins erupted in applause led by Percy and Annabeth. The rest of the campers joined in, the sound was deafening.

Chiron raised his hand and the applause stopped, "Please prepare yourselves for tomorrow." Chiron said. The campers finished their meals and rushed out of the mess hall toward their cabins. I walked with Chiron back to the big house to pick out my room. This had been a long day and one I would never forget. That night even though I didn't need sleep anymore I found myself doze off and I dreamed of my wedding day.

Percy's POV

I woke up and looked at my clock, it was six-thirty in the morning. Ah, crap I thought to myself I have thirty minutes to get ready to go to the big house. I was the best man at my brother's wedding today. I got cleaned up and ran to the big house with just a few minutes to spare. Annabeth was already there and I could see that she had already received her outfit for today. She smiled at me and said, "Good to see that you made it on time seaweed brain."

"Well I wouldn't miss my brothers wedding for anything, I'm the best man remember wise girl?" I asked.

"I didn't forget, I'm just glad you didn't. Gotta go get ready" Annabeth said with a wicked grin on her face as she ran toward the Athena cabin.

"Percy its so cool we're all going to a wedding on Olympus!" Nico said, he was happier than I had ever seen him before, it was more than a little freaky.

"This is a wedding not a funeral, dead boy!" I said.

"Very funny Percy, I can be happy sometimes." Nico said as he stormed off toward his cabin with his outfit in his hand.

"Hey, kelp head did you get your outfit yet?" Someone said from behind me. I turned to see Thalia standing there holding a clothes bag clearly she had already gotten her outfit.

"I'm next in line, pine cone face." I said.

"Well you better not be late, my dad is pretty strict when it comes to tardiness at weddings." Thalia said.

"How do you know, have you ever been to an Olympian wedding?" I asked.

"No, but I heard he was." Thalia said, then she ran off toward the Zeus cabin. Her face was red so I knew I had gotten the best of her for once. I thought maybe this will be a good day. Chiron handed me a clothes bag that was sea green in color.

"Percy here is your best man outfit, please go to your cabin and get ready. Theseus will be at your cabin in forty-five minutes to pick you up." Chiron said.

I ran back to my cabin and started to get dressed for this huge event. I prayed to all of the gods that today would go smoothly. I also prayed that I wouldn't screw anything up as best man. Theseus arrived just in time to pick me up. He looked incredible, he was wearing a black tuxedo with a sea green cummerbund. He had a black bow tie and his hair was cut short and was neatly groomed. He was clean shaven and looked incredible.

"You look great brother!" I said.

"You don't look bad yourself, except for your hair, wild man!" Theseus said.

Before I could say anything he stood next to me and placed his hands over my head and a bright light exploded and then faded away. When I looked in the mirror, my hair was trimmed to a slightly shorter length, but it was completely combed and groomed to perfection. My hair never looked that good before.

"There you look like a true prince of the sea." Theseus said.

"Thank you" I said.

"Your welcome, are you ready to go?" Theseus asked.

"I am now." I said.

As soon as I said that we disappeared in a bright light and reappeared in the garden just outside the Olympian thrown room. The garden was huge, there was a very large courtyard in the center of the garden that could probably hold a thousand people. The garden was surrounded by beautiful flower beds and huge trees. It was perfect and it would make an incredible place for the wedding. Theseus and I walked into the garden and as we entered there was a large fountain, we both walked up to the fountain and stared into the water together. I saw our reflections and I noticed how much I looked like Theseus, he was about two inches taller and looked older, but we both had the same jet black hair, sea green eyes, same facial features and we both had the same smile. Of course if it wasn't for the age difference we would look identical and I guess thats correct because we are the dioscuri.

"What are you all looking at?" Annabeth said as she snuck up behind us. Theseus and I snapped out of our mental haze.

"We were just looking at our reflection in the water." I said as I turned around to greet her. When I saw her I froze she was wearing a beautiful silver dress, it was gorgeous and I couldn't speak.

"Percy, are you alright?" Theseus asked amused by my expression.

"I'm fine." I said as I collected myself. Annabeth was smiling at both of us.

"You both look great, Percy your hair is ..." Annabeth said and abruptly stopped.

"Is what?" I asked.

"Its perfect!" Annabeth said, I could tell that my appearance stunned her as much as her appearance had stunned me.

I grabbed her hand and then I hugged her, this was going to be a great day. Then of course someone interrupted our perfect moment.

"Theseus it is you!" I heard someone say. Theseus, Annabeth and I both turned to see a beautiful dark haired woman with dark black eyes. She was very pretty and she reminded me of someone.

"Ariadne!" Theseus said.

Uh oh, then I saw Mr. D walk up behind her, awkward!

To be continued, the next chapter, "Wedding Day" will be interesting to say the least.
