"Percy! Well, I don't know what to say." For the first time in her life, Annabeth was utterly speechless.

"How about yes? " Percy offered.

"Well, if I did say yes….what else would I get?"

Percy stared at her. "What do you mean what else will you get? You'll get my love!"

Annabeth thought about it for amoment. "Well, we're both only 17, and if I married you so early, I'd pretty much just throw my whole life away. So I'm going to have to say….Yes", as she turned to Luke, who had snuck up behind her, and had also gotten one knee. Luke leaped up and kissed her full on the mouth. Annabeth wrapped her armsaround his neck and kissed him back. When they finally broke apart after a long wait (4 minutes and 28 seconds to be specific) Luke slipped the ring on her finger.

She turned and smiled at Percy. "Sorry Perce, call me up in a couple of years. Luke here promised me a mansion, a swimming pool with mermaids in it, and a waffle."

Percy gaped at her. "How can you believe him? He's poor! He can't even afford a Dr. Pepper from a vending machine!" Annabeth gasped, and slapped Percy hard against the mouth.

" How could yousay that? Luke's rich! Where do you think he got this 14 karat diamond ring?"

" Welllll, I'm guessing he bribed his parents, which wouldn't be too hard with his mom being crazy and all, and they bought him a ring."Percy said.

Luke's face fell, so Percy was pretty sure he had gotten it right.

He quickly re-composed himself. "Idid no such thing! I worked hard for this, and I worked hard for the love of my Annabeth!"

"…You didn't work at all for Annabeth's love. You don't even love her at all! And she doesn't love you! She just agreed to marry you so she'd get her waffles, and you just asked her to marry you because she's hot!" Percy thundered.

"So?" Annabeth and Luke said at the same time.

"What do you mean so? So-so-so-BECAUSE! I had to put up with her bitching and complaining for five years! Don't you think I should get something?" Percy sputtered.

Annabeth and Luke thought for a minute. Then Luke reached into his coat pocket and brought out an envelope. "You're right. Here's an invitation to our wedding." Percy took the envelope and opened it.

"You're invited to the wedding of Annabeth Chase and Luke Castellan. Please arrive at the Big House in Camp Half Blood at 12:30 Noon on May 6, 2010." Percy read out loud. He looked over his shoulder at the calendar. Holy Gods! It was already the May, 5! "When did you

decide on this?" Percy asked slowly.

Luke smiled devilishly. "Oh, I've been planning this for a long time. I knew she'd say yes to waffles, so I printed these out at Staples last night. Oh, by the way," He said turning to Annabeth,"you owe me $4,970.12 for the invitations."

Annabeth stared at him." How many did you order!" She cried.

"Well, "he said calculating in his head,"3,978".

"What?", he asked whenAnnabeth continued to stare at him. "I just invited the Gods, and our families, and the zoo keepers from San Diego, oh and Kronos wanted an invitation, and the Half Blood campers, the people that work at Disneyland, and the horses from the 's it."

Both Percy and Annabeth just stared at him.
