The Grooms Final Preparations
"That looks stupid," Grover says.
"Not any more than yours does goat boy," Percy says back.
"I'm a satyr. When do I wear a tie," Grover replies.
"Gentlemen may I help," a man says from the door.
"Dad!" Percy says surprised to see Poseidon. Poseidon walks over to Percy and takes his tie in his hands. It doesn't even seem to Percy like his dad's hands move, but the tie becomes tied perfectly. His dad then does the same thing with Grover's tie.
"Thank you, My Lord," Grover says kneeling.
"Stand up Grover," Poseidon says. When he turns to Tyson, his youngest son already seems to have figured out what to do.
"How'd you do that Dad?" Percy asks, "It doesn't even seem like you did anything?"
"I am the God of the Sea son. I know how to tie a knot," his dad replies with a smile.
"I'm glad you're here Dad," Percy says now giving his father a hug.
"I wouldn't miss my son's wedding," his dad says then turns to Grover and says, "Grover may I have a few moments alone with my sons before the ceremony?"
"Yes My Lord," Grover says then bows and turns toward the bedroom door.
"Oh and Grover, stay away from the food until after the ceremony," Poseidon adds.
"Yes sir," Grover says hanging his head and sounding dejected.
Once Grover is gone, Poseidon turns back to his sons. "I can't believe both of my boys are grown," he says with a touch of sadness in his voice.
"Aw come on Dad, I'm sure you've made some new little ones since…" Percy says stopping before mentioning the whole defeating Kronos reward deal he made with the gods.
"Yes but they are still very little," his dad replies.
"Really?" Tyson says.
"Well we all agreed it was allowed again," his dad says with a smile, "Anyway, you've been my boys for so long that I can't believe you're now men."
"We still need you sometimes Dad," Tyson tells him.
"I know son, but you have both proven that you are strong and courageous," Poseidon says, "Anyway, this is supposed to be a happy day."
"We are happy Dad. I love Annabeth," Percy tells his father.
"In spite of her mother, I am very pleased with your choice of wife Percy. I care for Annabeth very much," his father says.
"She likes you too Dad," Percy says then adds, "In spite of her mother."
"Now we just need to get Tyson here hitched," their dad says.
"Well there's this naiad at camp that has been asking about him," Percy says as he elbows his brother.
"Which one?" Tyson says with great interest.
"Wait, what happened to that little mermaid? What do they call her, Bubbles?" his dad asks. Tyson blushes, sort of.
"Bubbles huh," his brother says giving him a hard time.
"She's a little pushy," Tyson tells him, "And always has to be right."
"Sounds like someone I love," Percy says with a chuckle thinking of his soon to be wife Annabeth.
"But Annabeth is always right," Tyson says honestly.
