Ask or Dare Lady Athena

Dare - #145

Annabeth: *finishes going over the latest designs for Olympus* Will that be all?

Olympians: *looking around in case anyone has any clarifications or changes*

Athena: Yes, I have a question.

Annabeth: Yes, Mother?

Athena: Actually, it's not for you, Annabeth.

Annabeth: *blinks in surprise*

Athena: It's for him. *points to Percy*

Percy: *jaw drops, brows furrow in confusion* I—what? You wanna ask me? Are you sure you don't wanna ask Annabeth?

Athena: *sighs* Yes, Percy.

Percy: Really, I'm completely useless when it comes to architecture stuff. Unless you ask me which statue is my favorite—which is of course I think dad's statue is the coolest.

Poseidon: *beams* That's my boy!

Aphrodite: Hey!

Apollo: Seriously?

Zeus: *huffs*

Ares: *grumbles*

Percy: *raises his hands up* But no offense, I'm just biased—

Athena: Percy. It's not about that. Why on earth would I ask you on designs.

Percy: Uh... then, what?

Athena: I've given you my blessing. I've personally helped with the engagement. So why haven't you married my daughter yet?

Percy and Annabeth: *eyes widen* What?

Olympians: *raise their eyebrows in intrigue*

Aphrodite: *smirks and leans in* Yes, Perseus. Why haven't you married her yet?

Percy: *sputtering*

Annabeth: *turns to him*

Hera: I'll be the officiant—

Percy and Annabeth: Absolutely not.

Aphrodite: *squeals* I volunteer!

Annabeth: There won't be a wedding!

Everyone: *gasps in horror*

Hermes: Oh gods... they broke up.

Everyone: *gasps again*

Athena: *leans forward and narrows her eyes* Did you? Do you not love my daughter anymore?

Percy: No!

Everyone: *gasps once more*

Percy: *stammering* No! What I mean is—no! We did not break up! And I still love your daughter!

Athena: *crosses her arms* Clearly not enough because you won't marry her.

Annabeth: Can everyone calm down a moment? Please!

Everyone: *shuts up*

Annabeth: We aren't getting married now. Let's make that clear.

Apollo: Is it because you're broke?

Hermes: Yeah, I get it. The economy's too terrible for a grand wedding right now.

Poseidon: Do you need us to give you donations? I mean, we could cover the expenses too—

Percy: Mom's a writer, in case you forgot. And Annabeth's dad literally owns fighter aircrafts. I think we're doing just fine.

Aphrodite: Then just get on with it and marry each other already!

Annabeth: We're literally eighteen! We are not marrying each other before we even start college!

Athena: Oh... yes, I suppose that isn't ideal.

Percy: And... um, on that note. Lady Athena, can I ask for a recommendation letter?

Athena: *stares at Percy*

Aphrodite: *conjures up a huge book and opens it up to reveal a moodboard for Percy and Annabeth's future wedding, and then pulls Annabeth aside* Anyways, while they get on with that, I'd like to discuss a few things with you.

Apollo: *joins in* I'll even play live at your wedding! And speaking of which, I also have a Spotify playlist for you two already!

Hermes: *grins* And I'll even help with the wedding invitations!

Athena: I'll even design your wedding gown for you, dear.

Demeter: I'll be in-charge of the food for the—

Everyone: Absolutely not!

Elle: *glances to her side and nudges Dionysus*

Dionysus: *sighs dramatically* Fine. I'll bring the wine—

Annabeth: Did everyone ignore what I said? We're eighteen. We're not even legally allowed to drink yet!

Percy: Yes, exactly! And, um... seriously, Lady Athena. I really need your recommendation letter.
