Seaweed Brain

Chapter 1

Percy's POV:

"I'm not sure I can do this," I said. I was staring into a mirror with Grover, Leo, and Frank behind me.

"Of course you can!" Grover exlaimed, "You've done much scarier things that this!"

"Like what?" I raised my eyebrow and turned to face him.

"Well... You defeated the minitour when you were twelve, you went to the underworld when you were twelve, you went to Olympus when you were twelve, you sailed across the Sea of Monsters, you've saved Annabeth from sirens, you held the sky for a little while for Annabeth, you've traveled and survived the Labyrinth, been in the titan's war, survived, then you traveled to Rome, did some stuff there, and then fell into Tartarus and somehow got out! And then you were in the giant's war and survived that! Di immortales Percy! You have done much more scary and dangerous things than this!"

"I know, but today is the day that I marry Annabeth!"

"Yeah, yeah, we know," Leo said, "the love of your life and whatnot. Why are you so nervous?"

"It's just-" I turned back to the mirror and sighed, "I'm nervous becuase what if I say something wrong? Or I forget my vows?"

Frank grabbed my shoulders and turned me so that I was facing him. He started tying my necktie as he talked, "You don't need vows, just say whatever comes to your mind first when you think about Annabeth. Or whatever comes to heart first, but please don't start rambling about blue food and stuff, we all know that you love it, but I think it would be better to talk about you and Annabeth at your wedding." He finished tying my tie and stepped back, brushed the shoulders of my tux and then grabbed me by the shoulders again, "You're going to do great. Just go out there and when you see Annabeth, I'm sure everything you need will come to you. Just take a deep breath, ok?"

"Ok," I took a deep breath and looked around Cabin three. Annabeth and I had decided to have the wedding here at Camp Half Blood because it was where we met. I am glad that my friends were here with me, but I really wished that Jason was here too, and I know that he is in spirt, but I wish he could actually see it.

The stolls poked their heads in the door, "Hey, Chiron says it's time to come out now," Travis said.

"You look nice Percy," Conner said, and I could tell he was trying not to laugh.

"You two better not have planned anything, and if you ruin my wedding day by playing any pranks, I will come after you, and so will Annabeth. And you don't want Annabeth coming after you, so don't do anything, ok?"

They rolled their eyes and simultaneously said, "Ok," But I could tell that they didn't completly mean it.

"You got this Percy," Frank patted my shoulders one more time.

"Go get 'em champ!" Leo said. I shook my head and rolled my eyes at him and he just smiled.

I turned to Grover and saw him sniffling, "Grover, are you crying?"

He sniffed, "N-n-no... Yes."

"Why?"

"It's just- my two best friends are getting married! I'm just so excited!" 

I went up to him and put my arm around his shoulders, "Me too buddy. Me too."

"We should probably get out there," Frank said, "Chiron gave us the signal."

Grover and I both nodded. I took a deep breath and followed my groomsmen out the door and towards the lake. I looked around at the gorgeous space. There were rows of seats that looked like an open book sitting on four pencils on one side, and chairs that looked like a wave on the other. In the book chairs sat Annabeth's step-family as well as Athena, who looked happy yet annoyed-which is what she looks like whenever she's around me and Annabeth. There were also all of the campers from the Athena cabin. In the wave chairs sat Mom, Paul, my Dad, and Tyson. Behind, there was just the regular camp folding chairs where all of the other campers and guests were sitting. I also noticed a big chunk of empty seats at the back. At the end of the aisle, there was a big and beautiful arch made of leaves and  flowers. Most likely thanks to the Demeter kids. Under the arch, stood Chiron. He looked like he couldn't stop smiling even if he wanted to. I stood to Chiron's left and looked down the aisle, waiting to see Annabeth walk down it. Grover lined up beside me, then Frank, then Leo. It seemed like an eternity, but soon after we arrived under the arch, Estelle walked down the aisle throwing water lilies and purple irises from her blue woven basket. She was wearing a blueish-gray dress that went down to her knees and had flowing sleeves that went down to her elbow.
