Bonus Epilogue Chapter
Annabeth's pov

I was eating breakfast with Piper and talking about the event just hours away when my phone rang. I swallowed my toast and looked at the contact. Unknown. Piper peeked over my shoulder to see who's calling, when she saw the contact, she didn't react that big.
"Well, it might just be someone we know but you just haven't added their contact to your list yet." she says, popping a strawberry into her mouth.
True, I just got a new phone as a gift from Percy's mom Sally, who is basically the best mom on Earth.

I decided to answer the call and put it on speaker, so Piper doesn't have to listen through my ear.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hi, is this Annabeth Chase?" the person on the other end asks. The person has a female voice, and seems to be......... nervous?
"Yes, and this is....?"
"Sophie. Sophie Foster?" she answers like she's not sure of her own name.
I sat there open mouthed, that was not who I was expecting to hear from. We haven't contacted each other for like....... How long? At least 5 years......... or maybe more. Flashbacks of our last encounter rushed back, scenes of the white hospital walls and me running away crying made me a bit winded.
"Sophie?" Piper asks, recognition flashed across her face.
"And this is......?"
"Piper!!"
"Piper?? Oh my god hiiii!! How are you lately?" she asks her.
"I'm great, thank you!! Are all of your memories back now?" Piper questions, not wasting any time.
"Maybe....."
"Well Annabeth here is having a wedding today and I'm wondering if you want to come?" Piper asks giving me a knowing smile. I froze, 'Out of all the things you could've said Piper why this?' I eyed her.
'Well she's your used-to-be bestie so why not?' she shrugs.
'How about the guest list? There won't be enough seats!! Plus how about Percy and Sally? They wouldn't know that Sophie's coming!!' I retorted.
"I'll take care of that" she replies out loud.
"Sure!!" Sophie replies excitedly.
"Aaaand... I might also have news for you guys." she says shyly.

"ARE YOU PREGNANT????" Piper shouts, I slapped her on the head. That is not what you ask when someone says they have news.
"N-no..... I'm getting married!!" she squealed, visibly very happy with her partner.
"Can we come?" Piper asks, how can we have a wedding and go to a wedding on the same day?
"Sure!! Mine will be in a garden... I'll send you the address through text later." Sophie says quickly, she does that a lot when she's nervous. Old habits die hard.
"She's having hers at the beach!! I think they might be close....." Piper said thoughtfully, they ended the call and texted each other the address.

"48 E Main Street, building 35" Piper scrawled down on a piece of paper.
"Wait... that's beside ours!!" I exclaimed, we shared a look and started to get ready for the big event.

I slipped into a v neck wedding dress, my hair in an elegant updo with curls escaping the rubber band. The glittered strappy high heels fit perfectly on my feet and clicked gracefully against the floor. Piper walked back to take a full look of me fully dressed.

"Aww my girl's all grown up and going to get married!!" she mocked, wiping a fake tear away making me laugh.
"GIRLS, ARE YOU GUYS READY YET?" Sally yelled, we hurried down and got into a car to take us to the beach.

I suddenly felt nervous. What if Percy says no? What if the guests don't come? What if mom and dad change their minds about me getting married? What if Sophie won't come?
I don't know why but somehow the last question seems to be more important than the others to me.
Piper escorted me downstairs before I could drown in my own what-ifs. I took a deep breath.

This is it. This is the moment I've been waiting for.
