To Feel Jealousy Is To Feel Love

A/N: I decided to be a little creative with this chapter and take Percabeth half way to the next level. I also want to be a little creative while I make this. I hope you all don't mind and enjoy.

Percy's POV

The end of my day back was really uneventful, well, except for me shooting Juniper with an arrow, thankfully she managed to change into a tree before getting hit, note to self: apologize to Juniper and Grover. What can I say? I suck at archery, but sword-fighting, that's more my style. I managed to beat 10 campers in a row even without my invulnerability. The conch horn finally sounded for the end of the day, before I can beat my 11th challenger. I went to the beach to rest before going to the dining pavilion for dinner. As I was sitting on the sand watching the sun set, Annabeth wasn't with me this time, she had go with Chiron on an errand. I saw a jogger or a delivery man comes from the far side of the beach, I instantly know who that person, or rather, God is.

"Lord Hermes." I bowed respectfully when he got to me.

"Ah, Perseus, I've heard of your recent exploits, I'm quite impressed." The God said, with a trace of mischief in his voice.

"Well my lord, I almost died on that one." I said, trying to slowdown the growing image of me always becoming triumphant.

"Don't you always?" He said smiling.

"But I'm talking about your other victory." He added.

"I-I'm sorry, what victory?" I asked confused.

"You've done the impossible Percy. You've gained Athena's favor. She did give you permission to date her daughter now, didn't she?" Hermes said with the same mischievous town in his voice.

"Oh, that, yeah, I am pretty glad Lady Athena won't be trying to kill me every time I'm with her daughter." I said with a loud sigh of relief.

"That brings the total of Gods who have given you their favor to 7, nearly there" He gave me a wink after completing his sentence.

"You and Annabeth have united one of the fiercest rivalries in history, now that their children have fallen for one another. They have come to an agreement to become allies." I was shocked when I heard that, I never thought my father and Annabeth's mother would set aside their differences for our sakes.

"Oh, before I forget," Hermes brought out his cell-phone and George and Martha were coiling around the antenna. "Give me Percy's package" He ordered and George made a small box appear from his mouth.

"Err, thank you." I muttered, looking puzzled.

"Oh, and one more thing, I expect to be invited." The Messenger God said with a wink and teleported away.

Of course I still shielded my eyes from his light. I opened that box and found two rings, but not like the ones I bought, these were more expensive, and have bigger gems. I realized these were wedding rings. L blushed at the thought of Annabeth and me wearing theses rings, us at the altar, giving our vows of love to one another. I found a small note which was written in Athena's hand.

Dear Perseus,
I trust that you will not betray my blessing. Honestly speaking, if you so much as hurt my daughter, I'll turn you into nothing but a mound of dust. Oh and I have a plan on how you can give the rings to Annabeth, but you have to make her jealous first, I know it'll hurt her, but I'll make an exception this time...
Wise-fully yours;
Athena
Goddess of Wisdom
P.S. Aphrodite helped me to make the plan.

I couldn't believe what was written on the letter. Athena actually wanted me to make Annabeth jealous, and further more the plan involved Rachel. I thought it over and found it wise to obey Athena's orders. I went to Rachel's cabin, in plain sight of everyone, including Annabeth who was back from her errand. She had the look of confusion, shock, and hatred when she saw where I was going. I knocked on Rachel's door and she answered, she wore her usual outfit, she looked around me anxiously, looking for Annabeth, I couldn't blame her for being scared of my soon to be fiancé.

"Come in." She said with relief in her voice.

I told her everything and I thought she would complain, but she just nodded and agreed to the plan.

"So, I guess I really have no chance to get you now, do I?" She asked, but to my surprise she wasn't gloomy, she was actually happy.

"Yeah, pretty much." I replied to her.

"Well, of course I'll help; think of it as my wedding gift to you and Annabeth." She said happily.
"Thanks a lot" I said to her, she subtly pointed to her window and saw Annabeth looking at us.

"Perfect, let's begin the plan." I whispered.

So Rachel and I did the thing that Annabeth feared, we pretended to have a great time together, and when I was leaving I saw Annabeth get out of the way quickly, I winked at Rachel and she followed me to her door and kissed me on my cheek. I could have sworn I heard a tree get its bark crushed. I let out a silent chuckle and went to my Cabin. When I got there I laid on my bed looking at the letter Athena sent me.

"Time for step two" I said and quickly wrote a love letter to Rachel, and left purposefully at my pillow, knowing that it would be found later by Annabeth. And she did, because I saw her run from my cabin with tears in her eyes and a very torn apart letter in her hands. I couldn't help but wince when I saw that scene. I was hurting her, ON PURPOSE. One last step required then I'd get Annabeth alone with me. Rachel and I went to the lake, and honestly we had a good time there, it was still according to plan because we made sure Annabeth would see.

Annabeth's POV

I was really angry, hurt, and above all insanely jealous, how dare she try to steal my Percy away from me. I know it's not Percy's fault, he would never do this things to me, he may be a seaweed brain, but he's my seaweed brain. I finally had enough when I saw them have too much fun in the lake, I mean, come on, she did know he had a girlfriend, a girlfriend who can kill any other girl who tries to steal her boyfriend away from her!

"PERSEUS JACKSON, RACHEL ELIZABETH DARE, GET AWAY FROM EACH OTHER!" I shouted at the top of my lungs letting all the pent up anger came out.

I found it weird that Percy and Rachel smiled at my little command.

"Oh great, now they're smiling together" I thought to myself, coming closer to the lovey-dovey new couple, I shook that thought away.

"Percy is MINE" I thought to my self, trying to encourage my self.

I saw Percy whisper something in Rachel's ear and she went to my direction. Before I can get my dagger and slice her to ribbons she whispered "He's all yours" in my ear. That got me even angrier. How dare she just use my Percy like a toy and abandon him when she's bored with him. I got near to Percy, getting ready to put him through the ringer and maybe get in some punches but when I arrived he just knelt on one knee, I was shocked and confused when he did that.

"Annabeth Minerva Chase, I've known you for the better part of my life, you've been my best friend, my source of hope and power. You've stood by me through tough and lethal times." He said blushing. "What I'm trying to say is, Annabeth, will you marry me?" He proposed

"Percy!" I looked at him with shock, tears streaming down my face. I suddenly forgot what I was there for and just threw myself into his embrace.

"Of course Percy, Yes, I would be extremely happy to be your wife." he smiled at me after hearing my confession and we kissed each other passionately. I watched him slip a new ring to my finger, then it clicked, everything that happened today was part of his plan to surprise me.

"Seaweed Brain can be smart when he wants to be" I thought to myself, seeing an owl perched at a near by tree, I thought I saw the owl smile, then, it flew off, probably to tell my mom what happened.

Sorry if I kept you waiting. I've been getting involved in so much shit, I lost track of working on my story. Don't worry though, I'll still finish it. Read, review, favor, enlist, and read all over again.
