Madison's POV

Percy and I made it through our last two years of high school! There of course were a couple of monster attacks but nothing we couldn't handle. Naturally there were the sluts that would flirt with Percy, but he would always be by my side and help keep my temper down. We were inseparable in the school and even at camp. We tried to forget the prophecy ever since the incident with Aries and Aaron. Even though I healed, it still left a scar in my legs from where Aries impaled me. Aries has been too quiet though ever since then. I haven't seen or heard anything about him which worries me, but Percy tells me that I shouldn't continue to think about it.

I'm sitting in the Poseidon cabin at camp. Today is graduation day at school. My parents are coming up to New York to see the ceremony. Percy's parents are picking them up at the airport and Percy and I are going to meet them in the gym at school. I remember Percy and I's senior prom there. We decided not to go junior year and just go our senior instead. I remember the pain of trying to get ready.

Flashback

"Ouch! Piper!" I yelled out as Piper was pulling on my hair.

"I'm sorry Madison, but your hair has got to be done!"

"I thought it would be better to ask you to do my hair and make-up instead of your siblings, but this is probably just as painful!"

"I'm sorry, but you know my siblings would have been worse!" She was probably right and after several hours of hair pulling and applying tons of make-up to my face, she was finally done. She turned me around to the mirror and I was stunned. Piper did an amazing job! It didn't even look like me. She pulled my hair to the side and waved it. She also went light on the make-up giving me a more natural look. She put a light blush and a light blue eye shadow on my eyes with just a little mascara.

"Do you like it?"

"Piper, it's amazing! You did great! It doesn't even look like me!"

"I based your hair off of a Taylor Swift picture I saw one of my brothers gawking over."

I laughed. "Well it looks great!"

"Percy is going to be speechless! I can't wait to see his face! Now we have to get your dress on!"

My dress is a one strap gown that's floor length with few jewels around the waist and strap. It's a light crystal blue just like my eyes. Piper also helped me pick it out. I put it on and I couldn't believe that was me in the mirror.

"It's perfect! Annabeth is outside right now keeping an eye out for the boys. You have to stay in here until they show up!"

Jason and Luke went with Percy to pick up his tux and our ride. Piper is making sure I stay in here until they come into camp to this cabin.

About ten minutes later there is a knock on the door. Piper opens it and Annabeth comes in and whispers something to her.

"Okay the boys are here! We are gonna go out, but you can't leave yet! We'll call you out!" Piper and Annabeth leave the room Before I even get to say anything.

Next thing I know, Piper says "We give you Madison!" I guess that's my cue to go out.

Percy's POV

Jason and Luke came with me to pick up my tux and then to get the limo. The driver drove us towards Camp Half-Blood. He stopped in the middle of nowhere, but didn't ask questions. We walked up the hill, said hi to Peleus and walked towards the Aphrodite cabin. Annabeth was standing outside and went in when she saw us. Then she and Piper came out smiling.

"We give you Madison!"

The door opened and I couldn't believe my eyes. She was gorgeous and I swear she was the only one there with me at the time.

"Earth to Percy!" I started to focus and realize that Madison was in front of me.

"Wha..?" Madison giggled.

"Don't drool on yourself now Seaweed Brain."

I took her hand. "You look Beautiful." She blushed and looked away. I turned her face back and she looked into my eyes.

"Well you can thank Piper. She did it all."

"I'll be sure to do that later. We should go."

I grabbed her hand and lead her up the hill and down to the limo. I opened the door for her and climbed in after.

When we got to the prom everyone seemed to stop moving. All they were doing is staring. Madison seemed to ignore them and kept walking. I decided to pull her to the dance floor. For most of the night we danced, kissed, and sat down and talked. Then the principal came onto the stage with a microphone.

"It's time to announce this year's prom king and queen!" There was some clapping and then he continued.

"The Prom king this year is…" He opened some envelope. "Percy Jackson!" My eyes almost fell out of my head.

"Go seaweed brain!" I got up and walked to the stage still shocked.

"Now for our prom queen!" He opened the envelope. "This year's prom queen is… Kayla Brunning!"

I was shocked too because that's the slut that always hits on me around Madison. She ran up on stage and wrapped her arms and legs around me. I could see Madison steaming. Great, I'm gonna pay for this later.

"Now let's crown them!" The principal put the crown on my head and right before he put it on Kayla's head, some woman came out and whispered something in his ear.

"It seems that there has been a mistake." He began. "The votes for Kayla seem to exceed the number of people in the senior class… Therefore she is disqualified!" Everyone started booing and she ran off the stage, but not before looking at me pleadingly. I just looked at her with disgust.

"Now the actual prom queen is… Madison Thomas!" I smiled and she came onto stage. They crowned her and we had our dance. It was a bit chaotic, but it was one of the best nights of my life.

The limo dropped us off at home and we went back to my room, changed, and fell asleep in each other's arms.

End of Flashback

Madison's POV

I was smiling at the memory and hopefully today will be a great one also. Percy came into the cabin and sat down by me.

"The car is ready and our cap and gowns are inside." I smiled at him and laid my head on his shoulder.

"Ready to go Ms. Valedictorian?" I laughed.

"As ready as you are Mr. Jackson!"

He smiled and kissed me, but he pulled away. He laughed when I pouted. "Come on, there can be more of that on our graduation trip."

"You still haven't told me where we are going!"

"It's a surprise!" I pouted again. "Come on, or we will be late and you have a speech to give!"

"I don't care! I'm not moving until you tell me!"

He sighed and looked at me. "Alright fine." He bent down and I thought he was gonna whisper it in my ear, but the next thing I know, I'm thrown over his shoulder.

"Perseus Jackson! Put me down this instant!"

"Not until we get to the car!"

Once we got there, he set me in the passenger seat. I crossed my legs and arms in protest. He shut the door and went around to the driver's seat.

"Now don't be difficult and buckle up."

"Humph."

He rolled his eyes and leaned over. He grabbed my seat belt and buckled me up. Then he cupped my cheek with his hand and turned my face towards his.

"Now why would you want to ruin the surprise? All you have to do is go give your amazing speech, grab your diploma and we can be on our way okay?"

I sighed and nodded my head. He smiled and kissed my cheek. "Gods, I love you!"

I smiled. "I love you too! Now drive or we will be late."

He chuckled and drove us to the school. We made it just in time for all the graduates to walk onto the stage. I gave my valedictorian speech and Percy and I got our diplomas. After the ceremony, we talked to our parents.

"Congratulations Percy and Madison!" Sally came running up and hugged us both. Next Paul came and gave us hugs. Then my sister practically jumped me. Then my parents congratulated us. What shocked me the most was that Lord Poseidon was here.

"Percy, my boy!" His voice seemed to boom through the whole auditorium. All our classmates seemed to be watching.

"Dad!" Percy gave Poseidon a big hug.

"Madison!" I smiled and gave him a massive hug. He's always been a father to me. He chuckled and hugged me back.

"Are you two ready for your trip?" Percy smiled and I looked confused.

"Why am I the only one who doesn't know where we are going?" I yelled/asked. They both laughed.

"Like father, like son." I mumbled.

"Alright say your goodbyes, we gotta go!" Poseidon said.

"Huh?" I asked. "I haven't even packed!"

"I packed everything you would need and my mom helped, we got you covered. My dad is taking us to where we need to go."

"I hate not knowing things!"

They laughed and we said goodbye to my family, Percy's mom and Paul. I could still see our classmates watching, but I ignored it because I will never have to face them again! Poseidon led us to the beach shore and I saw Blackjack and Blossom there. Blossom had our luggage on her back.

"You can't take an airplane because of Zeus so this is the easiest way and it's faster too." Poseidon stated. "So this is where I see you off. Goodbye you two, have fun! And Percy… You got it?"

He looked nervous. "Yeah dad! We gotta go!"

"Okay bye son!" He vanished into the sea.

"What was he talking about?" I asked.

"Nothing! Just relax and enjoy the ride!" He pulled me on his lap on Blackjack and we took off with Blossom following. I decided to not worry about where we are going and what he's hiding for now, I'll find out eventually. I decided to sleep; it's been a long day. I rested my head on Percy's chest and fell asleep to him playing with my hair.

Percy's POV

I felt Madison fall asleep on my chest as I played with her hair. I smiled. I can't believe my dad almost ruined the surprise! That the gods she decided to let it go. It's also easier that she fell asleep so she doesn't see where we are going before we get there. She has the ability to navigate with the water in the air and it bugs me how she won't teach me! But that's beside the point. I'm taking her to Australia. She's always dreamed of going her and swimming in the Great Barrier Reef. Plus I have another surprise for her while we are here, but that's for later. I'm going to give her the best trip of her life, but for now I'm going to let her rest.
