First of all, Sorry I've been gone for so long! I'm back though, so... YAY!

Second, I am kind of anti-Percabeth right now, so all Percabeth fans, get over it. I'll have Annabeth in this story too, but I think I'll keep them as old friends for the time being.

Third, Just a CLARIFICATION- When Percy hit the Omega button in the elevator, that took him to his apartment, not Olympus. Just thought I'd let you know. FYI, this means Brooke is clueless about Percy's job

AND ON WITH THE STORY!

Brooke and I had been dating for a year and a half (in mortal time. Olympian time was about 4 months) now. I hadn't told her about my, well, true identity, but I sensed she knew something was off about me.

I opened the penthouse door and let Brooke in, lightly kissing her on the forehead.

"How are you?" She giggled, following me into the kitchen,

"Oh, fine, I suppose. My," I paused, "Workplace has been busy lately. All the interns have been kind of crazy. It's not that I don't mind them, but you know, kids will be kids. And you, little dove?"

"Well, I did have a long day, but after I saw you, I feel a lot better," She smiled,

I wrapped my arms around her, and rocked her back and forth. I willed the stereo to play classical music and turned on the DvD player.

"Well, what movie shall we choose tonight?" I asked,

"I don't know.. I could use a comedy," Brooke mused,

"Then This Means War?" I suggested,

"Yeah." she agreed imediately.

I walked over and popped the disc in. The movie whirred to life.

As I 'watched' the movie, I checked on Italy and both camps.

I hadn't heard from Annabeth in God knows how long- No. I would not mention her when tonight was when I'd pop the question.

After the movie was over, we grabbed our- well, my jackets and went towards the club.

"Name?" Rufus asked. This was the Olympian club. Sucker mortals!

"Augustus," I said carelessly, and the gold chain moved,

"Wow," Brooke said, "You sure know a good club or two,"

I winked at her and we walked towards the lit floor.

After ten or so songs, I signaled the DJ, Apollo, to turn the music down.

I looked at Brooke and led her to the middle of the floor.

"Brooke, when we met, we both were broken. Together, we mended our wounds. Would you honour me with marriage?" I reached in my jacket pocket and opened the box.

She gasped, "Auggie- Yes! YES!"

I smiled, put the ring on her hand, and picked her up and spun her around.

"We're gonna get married!" She giggled,

Out of the corner of my eye, a flash of grey caught my eye. I turned my gaze to Annabeth, who was backing away towards the ladies room. I saw tears leaking in her eyes, but I wouldn't let her spoil my fun.

The gods and goddesses clapped around me and Apollo turned on a slow song that we danced to.

"Brooke?" I asked my new fiance,

"Yeah?"

"I have something to show you."

I led her out of the club and took her hand. In a flash, we stood in the lobby of the Empire State Building.

"How did we get here?" She asked confusedly,

"That's what I'm showing you," I whispered in her ear gently.

I nodded at the fat guard, who stood up in respect for me, and I opened the elevator.

"Auggie, what's all this?" Brooke said semi-suspiciously,

"Brooke, don't get mad. I have a secret that I couldn't tell you until I knew we'd be together forever. Don't take this personally. You will understand when the gates open."

"Wait- what-"

"Shh," I hushed, putting a pale finger on her lips.

Moments later, the elevator finished its ride upwards into the sky. The doors opened, and Brooke gasped.

"Oh," She put a hand to her heart in awe,

"Brooke... I'm not who you think I am."

"Who are you?" She asked innocently, looking around at the serenity of Olympus.

"Have you heard of the Greek and/or Roman gods?" I took her hand, walking her forwards,

"Yes," She nodded, "But I only remember from high school.

"They are not myths," I explained evenly,

"Wha- where are you taking this?"

"I am a god."

She collapsed right then, on the very dark doormat of my palace.

I gently shook her awake,

"Auggie, I had the strangest dream, you were a Greek god and then we were in the sky- oh. It, it wasn't a dream,"

I helped her up and led her to the bench, where she couldn't fall down.

"Brooke, I am a god. My name is not Auggie. My name is Perseus Augustus Maximus Valentius. I am the god of Supernatural, heroes, patience and a bunch of other stuff that I can't say I care of naming now. The point is, will you be my queen?"

She took deep breaths, wrapping her arms around my neck gently.

"Of course-"

Just then, a dagger thrown so fast that anyone but the Lord of Time himself couldn't have stopped flew at Brooke's heart. I shielded her with my hand, which the knife bounced off of harmlessly.

I crouched in front of Brooke, "Stay behind me," I growled,

She whimpered but obeyed,

"Percy," Annabeth sobbed, "Why are you marrying her?"

"Why did you lie to me? Why did you sneak out with Apollo and then have an affair with Hephaestus?"

"It WASN'T my fault! Aphrodite did that! She wanted us separated!-"

"Why should I believe you," I sneered, my sword appearing in my hand,

"BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME!"

"I do NOT love you," I growled, and dragging Brooke with me, stormed- literally- into my palace.
