Jason's Pov:

I'm on the phone with Percy the next day while Piper's out with Annabeth at lunch.

"Hey Percy, I was thinking about shopping for the ring today."

"Sure, did you want to go now?"

"Yeah, I'll come pick you up in a minute."

"Sounds good."

I hang up, and drive over to his house. When he gets in the car, he asks about what kind of ring I'm looking for.

"Um, I was thinking about maybe a blue diamond?"

"Yeah, when I was shopping for Annabeth's ring, the blue diamonds caught my eye. Good choice."

"Cool, well here we are." We walk into the big, fancy looking shop after we've gotten out of the car. I look at the blue diamond section, and I see one that catches my eye right away. It's got an emerald cut blue diamond in the middle, with two bands of regular diamonds on each side swirling out. It's all set in sterling silver. We both look at it, and I say, "That's the one. For sure."

"Go for it."

We walk over to the counter and I point out the one I chose. The middle aged lady goes and retrieves it for me, and smiles.

"Wow, this one's a beauty. Nice choice."

"Thanks, I hope my girlfriend will accept once I propose to her."

"I'm sure she will. Have a nice day boys!" she says as she puts the little velvet box into my hand.

"Thanks, you too," I say back.

As Percy and I get back in the car, I worry about if Piper will accept or not. I have everything planned out. I'll bring her on a walk in Central Park, and I'll lead her to a really nice, peaceful, bridge that I like. Not a lot of people are there all the time, so it would be a nice place. The trees give tons of shade to the bridge too, so it would be a really peaceful setting. I'll do it tomorrow, 'cause Piper doesn't have anything scheduled. I drop Percy off, and then once I get back to my apartment, I clean up around the rooms, just busying myself until I have to go to sleep.

The next day I phone Piper and ask if she wants to go out to Central Park together today. She says that it sounds great. I let out a small sigh of relief and tell her that I'll be ready at 12:30. It's 10:52 now, so we have a good amount of time. I try to brush my tousled hair, and actually somewhat succeed. I get into a nice polo shirt and a good pair of shorts, since it's summer, and I told Piper she could wear whatever. I made it casual so she wouldn't suspect anything. I want it to be a total surprise. I make sure to put the ring in my pocket, but make sure you can't tell anything's in my pocket. Before I know it, it's 12:28, and I walk down the hall to Piper's apartment. She opens the door right away, and I take in what she's wearing. She has on a blue skirt that goes to a little over mid thigh, and also a darker blue ruffled blouse. Her hair's in a slick ponytail, and she wears only a tiny bit of lip gloss, barely noticeable.

"Alright, ready to go?" I ask.

"Yep, let's go," she replies, with a sparkle in her eye.

We walk down the stairs to the lobby, and then to my car. As we drive to the park, we talk about just random stuff. I park on the border of the park once we get there, and I take her hand to lead her down a path. The bridge is coming into view, and as we reach the base of it, I start getting nervous. I conceal it though, and hope my palm isn't to sticky, and Piper notices. She doesn't say anything, so I take a breath and walk up. I stop in the middle and thankfully no other people seem to be here. I lean on the stone edge and look down at the river, and say, "I really like the view from here. It's so calm."

Piper nods, and says, "Yeah, I'm glad you showed me. This can be our little area."

"Sure, a place where memories can be made between us. Hey Piper, I have a question."

"Yes, Jason?" she says a little confused, and she looks at me.

I get down on my knee, and she gasps. "Piper McLean, will you marry me?"

She giggles and replies, beaming, "Y-", but then her sentence is cut short but a girl's shrieking, and we both look over to see a regal looking girl with black hair running at us with a look of fury in her eyes. She barrels right in between Piper and I and she shouts,

"No, Piper McLean, you can NOT get married to Jason Grace. He is mine!"
