HELLO!

PERCY POV

Once we woke up, I told that I had to go see Zeus. I flashed to his palace and knocked.

"Ah, Hello Perseus" He said

"Hello Zeus" I said

"Come in Perseus" He said

I went into his palace and all I was lightning and gold. There were some portraits of himself and his sons and daughters.

"May Hera also join in with this conversation?" I asked Zeus

"Of course! HERA!" Zeus screamed

"COMING!" She screamed back

Once Hera was here I started

"Zeus and Hera, can you let Leto come here I need to ask her the same question I'm asking you too"I said seriously that Hera didn't even say anything

Once all of us were here, I started "Hello, Zeus, Hera, and Leto, Today I ask you a very important question. May I have your daughter Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt and Moon for the hand of marriage" I asked

Zeus chuckled and said " Well, Perseus, I have only seen that you love her and would do anything for her so I accept your request but I assume you already asked her didn't you?" Zeus asked

"Yes, yes, I did" I said

Leto smiled at me " You Perseus Jackson freed me from my island and I am forever grateful for that. I believe that Artemis has finally found a man worthy of her. She has finally found somebody that will make her happy but if you in any way hurt her, I don't care how powerful you are, I will be your worst nightmare" She said seriously

"Thank you Leto" I said

Hera said " Since, I really don't want Artemis to hate me and I'm the goddess of marriage, You can marry Artemis"

"Thank you Hera, Now I have to go talk to Apollo" I said and left after giving them a smile

I flashed into Apollo's palace. " Hello Percy" He said

"Hi Apollo, I come here for serious matters" I said

"What is it? Is Artemis hurt?" He asked worriedly

"No, but I was wondering if you approve of me to marry you're older sister Artemis" I asked

"I am definitely fine with you marrying her, you proved me time and time again that you loved her like when you serenaded her with your singing" He said laughing

I blushed and said " Thank you Apollo I really appreciate that and maybe when there is an interesting game we could watch it together sometime"

"Of course Percy, I have to go Bye" He said and flashed out

I flashed out as well and went back to my palace in the Void where I found Artemis just lying on the bed.

"Where were you?" She asked

"I was asking your father, brother, mother, and step-mother for your hand in marriage" I said casually

"WHAT DID THEY SAY?!" She asked alarmed

"Don't worry, they all said yes" I said

"Really?" She said

"Yup" I said

I circled my hands around her waist and kissed her head.

"When do you want the wedding?" I asked

"As soon as possible" She replied

"Okay, we should get ready for today" I said

We got changed and went outside. We walked for a little bit to find Athena walking towards us. UH-OH!

"Hello Athena" I said

"Hello Percy" Athena said walking over to me and puts her fingers on my chest. I quickly went behind Artemis

"What do you want Athena?" Artemis asked angrily

"I obviously want Percy" Athena said in a 'duh' tone

"Well…guess what?! YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM?!" Artemis shouted

"Why not? It's not like you claimed him!" Athena screamed

"I did! I'm getting married to him for god sakes!" Artemis screamed back

"No, Artemis, honey, I mean have sex with him" Athena said in a sickly sweet tone

"Well...uhhhhhh…" Artemis managed to get out

"You don't want to have sex with him?" Artemis

"n-no, I mean y-yes, no, I mean UGH!" Artemis let out a frustrated scream

"Wait so that means you don't love me enough to break your oath?" I whispered out looking at her with hurt clearly evident in my voice

"No, Percy, I do love you enough to break my oath it's just that-" Artemis said

I cut her off and said " It's just what?! This is like 10 years ago before I left to Chaos"

I walked away with Athena following me. She put a hand on back rubbing circles to sooth me. I was too sad to shake her off.

"I'm sorry for what I said to Artemis, I don't know what came over me, I just came over there and the next thing I know this happened. I'm sorry" Athena said looking at the ground ashamed

"It's okay, thanks for saying sorry" I said and flashed her a genuine smile

She smiled back at me. "So are we okay?" Athena asked

"Yeah, We're good" I said and hugged her to prove it

"Good, I like being your friend" Athena said

"I like being your friend too, What do you want to do?" I asked

"I don't know" She replied

"How about we go to a library and get some coffee in the mortal world" I suggested

"Okay, Let's go" She said

"Grab my hand" I said

She took my hand and we flashed down to the mortal world but then we saw an ice rink..

"Athena do you want to go ice skating for a change?" I asked

"Will you teach me if we go?" She asked

"Of course" I said and grabbed her hand and went to the ice rink. Once we entered I bought our tickets and we went to grab ice skates. I helped her put on her skates like the gentleman I am and then put on my skates.

"Ready to hit the ice?" I asked

"Of course" She replied

I grabbed her hand and we slowly went along the rink. I told her how to move her feet and once she got the hang of it we began chasing each other around the rink. We went around laughing for hours.

"HA-HA! I got you!" Athena said

"Well, you did" I said

"Want to go get some dinner?" She asked

"Sure , let's return the skates and then go get something to eat" I said

We returned the skates at the counter and left the ice rink. I looked at my watch and it was 7:00p.m.

"Do you want me to cook or do you want to go to a restaurant?" I asked

"I don't know, you can choose whatever you would like" Athena said

"What do you like to eat?" I asked her

"I like to eat anything actually" Athena remarked

"How about we go to an Italian restaurant" I said

"Okay, let's go" She said

We went to a nice looking Italian restaurant. Everybody dressed so nicely that Athena and I had to flash on better looking clothes. I flashed on a suit and Athena flashed on a nice dress that hugged her curves perfectly. JEEZ I CAN STILL CHECK HER OUT FOR CHAOS SAKES! She looked beautiful but we are FRIENDS and I have a fiance...at least I still think I do. We went in and they gave us a table for two. They gave us the menus. After a little while the waiter came back and asked what we liked to drink and eat. We both got a glass of red wine and I got some sort of pasta and Athena got spaghetti. Once we got our food, we ate and talked and drank our wine. Once we were done, I paid for the bill and we got out of the restuarant.

"Do you want to get some ice-cream?" I asked

"Okay, I know a really good place" She said and flashed us to her palace

"Huh? I thought we were going to get some ice-cream?" I asked

"Yeah, we are but my palace has so much ice-cream that I didn't want you to spend your money" Athena looked down because she was blushing

"Hey it's fine, Are you sure because I don't mind using the money" I said

"Yeah, I don't want you to waste your money on me" Athena said

"Athena don't say that. I didn't waste my money, I used it for you. Athena whatever money I use for you will never ever be wasted" I said

"Are you sure?" She asked looking up at me with her striking grey eyes that made me remember Annabeth's eyes so much. Her eyes showed that she was vulnerable, a thing she never shows. Her eyes just looked simply amazing

"Yeah, I am very sure Athena" I said

"Okay, I believe you" She said

"How about we go make some cookies from scratch so that we can have some fun?" I asked

"Yeah, can you summon the ingredients for me Perce" She asked

I summoned all the ingredients for chocolate chip cookies that were supposed to be blue.

"We can make the cookies blue right?" I asked like a little child

"Of course" She said

We tried and failed to make the cookies because we just got flour everywhere in her kitchen. We had flour and cookie dough everywhere but the bowl. It was all over us. Then I yelled the stupidest thing "YOU CAN'T CATCH ME" I ran around the house with Athena hot on my heels

"Well, well, well, I catched you like I did at the ice rink" Athena said

"Yeah, you did" I said and smiled at her

"That means you were wrong" She said laughing

"Yeah it does"

"You looked amazing when you wore your dress" I said

"Thanks, you looked pretty good yourself" Athena said

I played some music and I asked Athena " May I have this dance?"

"You may" She said and took the hand I offered her

We danced slowly to the music with her head on my chest and me guiding the dance. We were silent during the dance, we were just letting the moment sink in.

Once the dance was over, we didn't part we still stood there with her in my arms. We both didn't want to let go. After long minutes we finally parted.

"I had an amazing time today Athena" I said

"I had a great day too Percy" She said

"We should do this again some time" I said

"Of course" She said

I flashed to my palace on Olympus. I went to the living room and watched some TV. After a little while there was a knock on my door. I went to the door and opened it to find Artemis.

"Hello" I said curtly

"Hi Percy, Can I come in?" She asked

"Yeah" I said

"Percy, I didn't mean that it was just that I wasn't ready" Artemis said getting to the point quickly

"Oh" I said

"Percy, but now I'm ready and I just want to wait to our wedding night" Artemis said

"Okay" I said and gave her a smile and went over to her and gave her a small kiss

"I will always wait for you" I said

"I love you Percy" She said

"I love you Artemis" I said
