Percy worked day and night to work out what to say, meanwhile, Annabeth noticed Percy's absence, and decided to pay Piper a visit.
"Hey Piper! Look, I need your help. Percy, sigh Percy's been kind of... distant lately. Do you have any idea why that is?"
It was all Piper could do to keep from from spoiling the surprise to Annabeth. What's taking Percy so long, it's been a week since he talked to me, and he obviously STILL hasn't proposed. What's going on with him?
At that moment, Percy cam rushing through the door, and, in response, Annabeth shot up and ran towards him, not allowing him any chance of escape, as if he was ever going to run away form her.
"Annabeth," he said, "would you come on a quick walk with me? I promise we won't take too long, to you can come and talk to Piper later."
"Sure, Seaweed Brain! It's about time!-" This cause Percy to have a shocked face, and Piper knew exactly what that meant, Percy was going to propose right now! "-that we went out, it's been, like, a week. Where have you been all this time?"
"You'll find out in a minute," they started to walk out and Percy gave Piper a thumbs up, which she returned.
After they left, Jason walked in, "What was that all about?" he said.
"Oh, Jason! Percy's gonna propose to Annabeth! Isn't that so exiting!?" Piper was bouncing happily at this point. "He's finally go the courage to do it! Jason, they're gonna get married!"
"Assuming she says yes," Jason pointed out.
"Which she undoubtedly will! Do you honestly believe that she'd reject him!? She knows it would break his heart!"
Jason came up and hugged her. "I know, Pipes, I was just kidding."
