Sea Spray and Owls: A Percabeth Fan Fiction

At Olympus (For the Engagement Party)

(Annabeth's P.O.V.)

"Zeus!" Aphrodite said angrily, "Why did you call a meeting? I wasn't finished drying my hair!" Sure enough, her hair was soaked. Her husband sighed, walked over, and lit a small fire in his hands, quickly drying Aphrodite's hair.

"Thanks, sweetie!" she cried, kissing him on the cheek. Hephastus smiled and Ares glowered.

Zeus, Posideon, and Athena shared knowing smiles. We had already told them of our engagement, and it had taken some convincing, but they approved. We were going to make the announcement at this meeting, and we had invisible shields, in case some gods (*cough*Ares*cough*) didn't approve.

Zeus stood up. "Alright. I have an announcement. Well, Athena, Posideon, and their children have an announcement." He beckoned Percy and me to the center of the throne room.

"Well," I said, "You all know Percy and I have been a "couple" for a while, correct?" The gods and goddesses all nodded, and it looked like it was dawning on Aphrodite.

"And that we have been madly in love?" Percy continued. More nodding. It was dawning on Mr. D now, too.

"Well, Percy proposed to me. And I said yes," I finished. Silence. Then Aphrodite's face lit up.

"Congragulations!" she squealed, running over (and shrinking to human size on the way) to give us a huge group hug. Posideon was smiling with pride, and Athena looked close to tears. Ares huffed, but I knew he couldn't help but be glad.

"Well, congragulations, Annie and Peter," Mr. D told us, having not lost that annoyingness.

"Let's tell Chiron!" shrieked Athena, finally losing her "poker face". She threw a drachma into a rainbow made by the fountain. "Chiron, Camp Half-Blood!"

"65 broken breastplates!" the campers around the campfires yell-sang.

"Take one down, pass it around, 64 broken breastplates on the wall!" Percy and I finished, getting the camp's attention.

"Brother!" Tyson yelled, running towards the Iris-message.

"Hey, big guy!" Percy greeted him.

"Chiron?" I said into the Iris-message. "And the rest of you? Notice anything different about my hand?"

Chiron figured it out first. "Congragulations, my dear," he said with a smile. (Surprisingly), Clarisse figured it out next.

"Great. Miss Princess will now become Mrs. Princess, because she's getting married to that punk." Athena and Posideon looked ready to smash her flat (or Ares, because he's her dad), but they restrained themselves.

The entire Athena and Aphrodite cabins shrieked with joy. "A marriage! Oh my gods!" squealed one of the girls from Aphrodite.

"Between Percy and Annabeth, too!" yelled Malcom. I couldn't believe the boys were getting into this!

"WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!" shouted the entire camp. People started asking a whole load of questions.

"When are you getting married?"

"Is it going to be here?"

"Can we help with the flowers?" (I was guessing that was Katie, from Demeter.)

"Can we bake the cake?" (Probably one of the Aphrodite girls.)

"We'll help decorate the cake!" (Great. That was from Apollo. We were probably going to get a golden cake.)

Finally, Zeus smiled. "I will transport the campers and Chiron here. It's time for an engagement party!"

The Iris-message dissapeared, and the thrones were pushed back to the edges of the room. Party decorations magically applied themselves, most of which said things like "Go Percabeth!" and "Congragulations, Percy and Annabeth!"
