So what did you guys think?
Suspense right?
That's exactly what I was going for.
PLEASE REVIEW!
Team thinking and talking.
Dick and company.
Everything was frozen in time. The whole team was in shock, total and utter shock. Wally couldn't see or hear anything after he heard the word engaged.
Then suddenly Zee spoke through the mind link, quite loudly actually. OH. MY .GOD. Dick our Dick is, is getting MARRIED! OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!
Everyone winced when this happened, Ouch Zee not so loud. Thought Megan
Sorry, she thought sheepishly.
Does anyone not care that the fact is Dick is dating someone and the fact it was so serious that he is now engaged, and never thought to tell us. Thought Wally.
I mean what are we going to do, we can't just go over there and ask him. Thought Zee.
No that would blow our cover, we need to stay here and observe. We need to learn everything about this guy Dick is supposedly engaged to, from a distance alright. So everyone just calm the hell down and let's just watch.
They all reluctantly agreed and kept watching from a distance, all wondering the same thing, how come he didn't tell us?
While the team was still trying pick up there jaws from the floor and also trying to sort through their feelings about this revelation, Dick's friends on the other hand were not only in total utter shock like the team but what surprised the team the most was that not only did all the girls break out into enormous smiles but they all started laughing.
"I knew, I knew it, I knew it," exclaimed Sammy
"Wait a second you knew?" asked Dick
"Oh come on, it's so OBVIOUS," she said.
"Do tell how you think it was so obvious,"
"Please, you have hickeys that you failed conceal running up and down your body, you also have this cheerful vibe that is surrounding you, and lastly you keep twisting a ring that I correctly assumed was on your ring figure and that it's your engagement ring."
"Damn Sammy, you're on fire," said Kate.
"Thanks, but that's beside the point, can we see your ring,"
Dick looked at them in a confused stare until he realized that they were talking about THE ring, his engagement ring that Percy gave him when he proposed to him last night. He had been subconsciously twisting the ring on his ring finger on his left hand, that was under the round table they were all sitting around. He still blushed every time looked at the ring because he would never forget how carefully and delicately Percy slipped the ring on his finger when he had said yes to marry him. So when he brought up his hand from under the table, he slipped the ring off his finger so delicately and with so much care as if he was about to show them his most treasured possession, and in a way it kind off was. They all crowded around him in anxiety and even the team were a little anxious because this would be the solid evidence to prove that Dick really does have a secret life, and that he doesn't want anybody to know about it. As Wally saw a glint of a shiny piece of metal he knew that the tiniest bit hope for this all be a big hoax was shattered. Wally felt like he had just been sucker punched, his whole image off his best friend had just been broken into tiny little pieces, and no doubt the rest of the team felt the same way. They all had the same feeling of loss, anger, and frustration. A part of Wally wanted to run, it didn't matter where but as long as it was away from Dick, but the other part of him wanted to find out who was this mystery person Dick was supposedly so in love with
On the total and other hand, the girls who were sitting next to him where shrieking to high heaven. They all crowded around him trying to catch a glimpse at Dick's priceless possession. And priceless it was, but in another since. The engagement ring was made up off a mix of Celestial Bronze, Imperial Gold, and a little bit off Stygian Iron. With all three metals mixed together it created a beautiful dark blue/bronze base for the ring. There were alluring intricate designs carved into to the ring, down the middle of the ring there was a slash that held three small oval shaped sapphires that where from the deepest part of the earth. It took six weeks, the whole Hephaestus cabin and Hephaestus himself to create that ring. But there was something on that ring that no one knew about, well only Hephaestus, Percy, and Dick did. On the inside of the ring in a delicate font was written in Romanian was En nu va renunta niciodata la noi. In translation to English was I will never give up on us. No really knew the true meaning behind these words meant besides Dick and Percy, for there was a deeper and stronger meaning to these few words.
All the girls cooed and awed over the very gorgeous one of a kind custom made ring. For it was so beautiful, and very thoughtful. Even the team could see the time and effort that was spent on this ring. What really stood out to everyone was the adoring gaze that was coming from Dick who was also staring at his own ring. Once all the commotion had settled down there was still one burning question the girls had to ask.
"So Dick, we've seen the ring, we all know who your lovely fiancé is, but you haven't told us the most important part," said Elena.
"Oh, and what's that," he asked.
"Oh don't play dumb, tell us how Percy purposed to you last night." She said.
"Aright fine, fine. Are you sure," he asked.
They nodded and crowded around again ready for the romantic tale of how Percy purposed
"So it started like this….."
