Artemis and I flashed back to our tents. The hunters stayed at Camp Jupiter to give us a night to ourselves. We stayed in her tent and she was sitting awkwardly on a bench.

"What's wrong?" I said taking off my tie and jacket.

She shifted from side to side, "Well, before the wedding, Thalia told me something that couples are supposed to do after the ceremony." Her cheeks were molten red.

"What?" I said scepticaly, if Thalia was behind this, it couldn't be good.

"She said that couples are supposed to sleep together." She said. Her face was getting redder by the minute.

"We do that already." I said calming down.

"No Percy! The other way of sleeping together." She said.

My body felt fuzzy and warm, "Artemis I don't think thats a good idea."

"Please," she whined, she gave me a puppy dog face.

I always thought it was ridiculous how Zeus fell for it everytime, but now she was doing it to me, I couldn't say no.

*Artemis POV*

If I said I was nervous, that was a major understatement. Kissing Percy was almost to much, and last night I slept with him. I first I thought I would clumsy and stiff, but he helped me through it, I'm glad he was my first.

There was supposed to be one last party tonight. I was tired of parties. I just wanted to be alone with Percy. But ancient greek weddings were that way.

"Do we have to go to the dinner." Percy said groaning. His hair was messier than usual.

"Yes, it is for us after all." I said.

"Fiiiine!" He grunted.

The two of us got dressed and teleported to New Rome. We had a few hours before the feast started.

A smile was brought to my face when I saw Annabeth and Luke sitting at a café. I was glad Annabeth's name was cleared. She was always a nice girl.

"Hey! How's the married life?" Luke said to us.

"Doing great!" Percy yelled back.

"You guys should come over and sit with us." Annabeth said.

"Sounds like fun." I said pulling Percy with me.

We sat down and someone walked up to us, "What would you like?"

Coffee wasn't my favorite thing to drink I was going to decline.

"Two hot chocolates please." Percy said.

I gave him a confused look.

"Trust me." He said confidently.

When the waiter came out with the hot chocolates, I had to admit, it looked really good.

Even Luke and Annabeth had hot chocolates.

"So Annabeth, how are are you and Luke doing. I know your last encounter wasn't most cheery moment of your life." I said trying to spark a conversation.

She gave Luke a certain look. One that I have seen Percy give me, the look of being in love. "Great, actually... Percy, I'm grateful for what you did."

He rose his hand, "Anyday for a friend."

"Your grateful? How do you think I feel? I just got freaking rezzed!" He said with excitement.

"I'm suprised Hades allowed that." Artemis said, "My uncle usually isn't this nice."

"Tell me about it." Annabeth and Percy said at once.

"So how about we all go on a double date sometime?" Luke said.

"Wait... What?" Percy said.

"Oh come on, it'll be fun! Relax Perce, just because you are married now doesn't mean you have to be boring."

"Why not?" I said.

I then realized how uncomfortable he looked. I know he was over Annabeth, but it must be weird for him to go on a double date with her.

"Okay, can I just focus on the dinner for now?" He said.

"Sounds like a plan." Luke said.

*Percy POV*

Not that I don't like Annabeth, but I really don't want to go on a double date that includes her, it's just weird. I mean we were just dating awhile back. I feel like it would be awkward.

But anyways, Artemis and I sat there chatting for awhile. She admitted that the hot chocolaye was to die for. But we left when the party was about to start.

"You ready?" Artemis said grabbing my hand.

"Yeah, let's get this over with." I said.

The party was actually pleasant at first, drinks, food, gifts. The gods were very generous when it came to that.

For example, Zeus walked up to me, "Perseus Jackson, I wish to make yourlife line connected to Artemis, you will become as if you were a god, as long as Artemis is alive and unfaded, you will be as well."

"Thank you." I said bowing.

Near the end most people were about to leave, that was until we had some unexpected guest.

From what I could tell, they were Titans. Oceanus, Hyperion, and Prometheus.

"I got fish brains." I said drawing riptide. My dad stepped next to me.

"Prometheus needs to be put down." Nico said. Hades stood behind him

"Hyperion is a gonner." Jason said with Zeus behind him.

And like that, my 'last battle' started. I slashed riptide and my dad jabbed his trident. Oceanus stood no chance against us. While I was slicing him to pieces, myttered something.

"I sorry, I can't here you over you choking on your blood!" I yelled.

He gave me a weird smile, "That Artemis will be mine one day."

"Keep dreaming." With on quick slice he blacked out, Nico and Hason just finished there fights so Zeus banished them back to Tartarus.

I turned to the crowd, "Thanks for coming out everyone!" I said with a wicked grin.
