A/N: Okay this was supposed to be fluffy and then a wee bit of really subtext-y angst happens I'M SORRY OKAY IT JUST HAPPENED. But other than that it is kind of a big ball of goofy.

I love you all!

"So…" said Rachel, pushing around a plate of spaghetti in front of her, settling on spearing a meatball and shoving the entire thing into her mouth at once. "Dunumff."

"Chew and swallow, Rachel, Gods," said Nico with a laugh.

"Things that are never said in the bedroom for 200, Alex," quipped Leo, grinning inappropriately. Reyna gave him the worst possible glare in history.

"Nice, Leo."

"Thank you for your input, Reyna," snapped Leo, pointedly avoiding eye contact with his ex girlfriend.

"Can you two maybe just TRY to be civil?" sighed Annabeth, clearly exasperated. "Rehearsal dinners usually aren't supposed to be this uncomfortable."

"Well sorry, Miss Perfect," said Leo, "but not all of us can have their weddings on the day of their choosing to the person of their choosing in the venue of their choosing."

Annabeth glared. "You know what they say about angering the bride on the night before her wedding."

"She'll forget it by the time the bachelorette party is over?" replied Leo with a grin.

"Hah!" exclaimed Rachel, "we did that last weekend. And it was a rager, all right." Rachel winked at Piper, who laughed. "Don't want to be hung over for the actual ceremony."

Percy, Grover, Leo, Nico, Frank and Jason all groaned.

"Why didn't we think about that?!" exclaimed Percy. "Now we're…Oh, god…"

Annabeth grinned. "See? You might still have glitter from all those strippers all over you. I will laugh so hard if you have more sparkle on you than I do tomorrow morning."

Percy pulled her close to him and pressed a firm kiss to her forehead. "The fact that you not only expect me to have strippers but are totally cool with it is why I love you so much. Even though I'm not having strippers, because," he glared at Leo, "A certain groomsman cancelled that since the groom thinks strippers are uncomfortable." Leo just shrugged, worrying Percy.

Annabeth bumped Percy's shoulder with her own. "The mind blowing intelligence, outstanding beauty, and ability to do that thing with my tongue are just perks, huh?"

Percy blushed at the last comment and shifted in his seat. "Oh, they're perks all right…" he muttered. "So! Shoes! Dresses? Everyone happy with their…Clothing?"

Reyna grinned. After she and Annabeth had met, the two had become fast friends. Rachel and Reyna had a field day deciding which one of them was going to be maid of honor until Annabeth gave them both weird looks and told them she had chosen Jason to be her best man for the sole reason that she didn't want all those problems surfacing.

No one could say the attempt didn't work, and Annabeth and Jason had become best friends during the trip to Rome. He was the only person, other than Percy, with whom Annabeth really felt she could share anything.

Plus, when Jason had told her about the whole in-love-with-Leo thing? That make things all the more clear.

"Well," said Reyna, "Rachel and I designed all the bridesmaid dresses to fit the personalities perfectly."

Annabeth nodded. "I gave them free reign. As long as they were that greeny-blue color – was it turquoise, or aqua?" She asked, turning to Percy.

"Aqua," Percy clarified.

"Right, aqua. I told them as long as they were aqua and none were strapless and all were long, they could go for whatever they wanted."

Leo furrowed his eyebrows. "…Is there any style type thing that isn't in one of those three categories?"

At once, Percy, Reyna, Rachel, Hazel and, oddly enough, Frank replied with, "OF COURSE."

Simply put, Annabeth couldn't stop laughing.

"I'm not even in a dress," said Hazel with a shrug. "I'm trying my hand at a tux. It works."

"Girls can wear tuxes?!" Leo exclaimed. "That's…I can't decide if I'm confused or turned on."

"Gods, Leo, it's like you can't get your head out of your ass long enough to read a book on social norms," said Reyna with the most prominent of eye rolls.

Leo, without another word, stood up and left.

"Alrighty then," said Percy, frowning a bit, "I, um…I don't even know what to say to make this less awkward. Anyone got any ideas?"

The table shook their heads in tandem.

"I got a new pair of shoes for the wedding," said Jason, shrugging.

"Ooh!" said Piper with a smile. "And tell us – what's the tux look like?" Their relationship ended amicably after she and Jason had realized the spark dissolved when the false memories disappeared, and she was the first person Jason told that he not only liked women but also men. Most specifically, Leo.

"Aqua," said Jason, deadpan.

The table burst into laughter, and after this more natural, less combative conversation began to overtake the table.

Eventually, the time was getting closer and closer to when the men were due at the bar for the bachelor party, and the group needed to go.

"Hey," said Annabeth, moving her jacket from the back of her seat, "where's Leo? And…" she sighed. "Reyna."

"Nose goes!" called Percy.

Jason was the last person to touch his finger to the tip of his nose, as he, at that moment, was putting his jacket on. Unfortunately, he lost and had to go find the two. "Oh, Gods, what if it's the girl's bathroom?" he moaned, not wanting to be in charge of finding the two of them. This had been happening essentially since the two of them had broken up.

"Then call me," said Annabeth, "I'll break it up."

Jason sighed and, adjusting his jacket around his shoulders, walked to the men's restroom, and pushed open the door to see something, unfortunately, the entire group had seen many times before this.

"Oh, Pluto, come on guys," said Jason, sending a jet of cold air to separate the two, "get your shirts on and quit making out."
