Percy is talking with his bride when his father interrupts.
"Son, there is someone here who would like to speak with you," Poseidon tells him.
"What?" Percy says a little confused since he's talked with everyone here at some point during the day.
"Out in the surf," his father says then motions toward the water.
Percy looks in that direction, but since the sun is starting to set a little, it's too dark for him to make out who is out there. "Who is it Dad?" he asks.
"You'll see when you get there," his dad tells him.
When he gets closer to the water, Percy can see who is out there waiting to speak with him, but he can't believe it. For most grooms, wading into the ocean in your tux during your wedding reception wouldn't be a smart move, but Percy doesn't even give it a second thought.
"Triton?" he says unable to hide the surprise in his voice.
"Percy, I have come on behalf of the sea to congratulate you on your marriage," his brother says.
"On behalf of the sea," Percy says, "So this is an official visit?"
"I…I have come on behalf of myself as well, brother," Triton says just not as forcefully.
"I never wanted there to be hard feelings between us," Percy tells him honestly.
"I know that, it's just that my mother…" Triton continues.
"You don't have to apologize. I would be upset too if my mom was… well if she hated someone just because they existed," Percy says.
"It's just that he promised her it wouldn't happen again," his brother says trying to defend his mother.
"Yeah, I guess he promised a lot of people that, but hey, it's me. I can't be sorry for it," Percy says with a chuckle.
"No, and I supposed that with everything you've done for Olympus no one else has the right to be sorry for it either," Triton says.
"Well I understand if I continue to irk your mom, but it would be nice if we could not hate each other, at least when she's not around," Percy says with a smile.
"That would be good," Triton says then extends his hand to his brother.
"Percy," Annabeth now calls from the shore, "Who is it?"
"It's…Well it's my brother Triton," he calls back to her.
"That is your Annabeth?" his brother asks.
"Yeah, is this as close as you can get? She doesn't stay dry like me, but I would really like for you to meet her. She's Athena's daughter, so you're kind of like family," he says.
"You have studied your history," Triton says impressed.
"Well Annabeth makes me," Percy says with a laugh.
Triton moves a little closer to the shore then he and Percy steady the water, so Annabeth can walk out to them, after several seconds of coaxing to assure her that her wedding dress won't get wet.
"Hello," Annabeth says politely to her new brother-in-law.
"Hello Annabeth, Daughter of Athena, congratulation of your marriage. On behalf of the sea, I wish you every happiness," Triton tells her.
"Thank you," she says still a little unable to believe Triton is here.
"We were just catching up," Percy tells his bride with a smile.
"Are you saying that you don't hate each other now?" Annabeth asks.
"Wow, she's quick," Triton says with a laugh.
"Yeah, she is," Percy says beaming with pride.
"We have come to an agreement," Triton now tells her.
"He still hates me in front of his mom," Percy tells her.
"Well I'm all for keeping peace in the family," Annabeth says with a laugh of her own.
"I won't keep you from your guests any longer," Triton now tells them.
"It means a lot that you came," Percy says then extends his hand to his brother again. To his surprise his brother embraces him instead.
"Be happy brother," he says then he hugs Annabeth as well.
"You too," Percy says then Triton is gone.
"Let's get you back to dry land," Percy says then sweeps his wife off her feet and carries her ashore.
