Percy and Annabeth-Their future

Surprise, Surprise

I wanted to continue the previous chapter, so here we go!

"Hello Annabeth and Percy! Welcome! Come in, you must be freezing! You don't want to catch a cold!" Sally said as she ushered us inside their new apartment. Paul walked up holding a cute, little puppy. "Is this Posieden?" I asked as I tickled his tummy. "Yep.. He's a schipperke. Percy named him Posieden, we didn't. But since he liked the name,we did too. Are you thirsty? Happy Birthday!" Oh, I'm fine, thanks."  I said as  Sally took my coat and we walked dothis long hallway. The back room looked dark. Okay, that's odd, I thought. But right as I walked into the room, lights turned on and twenty people shouted "Happy Birthday ANNABETH!!" "Uh, thanks." I said, blushing from all the eyes on me. "Did you know about this?" I whispered to Percy. He looked sheepishly at me. "Mayyyybeeee....." He said, pulling me toward the party. There was a long table set , and in the middle of it was a huge meal. I looked around and saw Thalia and her hunter friends talking to Nico, who looked ready to faint. I saw Grover and Juniper talking to Katie and Connor and Travis, and I saw my parents there too. My mother giggled with Sally. They were long distance BFFs. It was wierd. My dad and Paul were disscussing some history topic, and Clairisse was arguing with Will and Jake, and Chris was the only thing keeping her from charging at them. I saw Rachel waving at me, and so I walked over. "Hey Rachie!" I said, teasing her with the nickname. She was wearing a short skirt and leggings, a a graphic tee that read, I TALK TO ART. Her flats looked brand new, and I saw something on her hand sparkle as I walked closer. "I couldn't be..." I muttered as I reached her. "Hey 'Beth. Sup?" She said, putting her arm around my shoulder. I glanced around at everyone at the party. My party. At least I tried to. But through Rach's thick red hair, it was hard. "Nothin really. But apparently SOMEONE's been keeping a secret." I said, pulling away from her and looking smug. I grinned. She shoved her hand over my mouth. "Not so loud! I'm-" She tried to calm down. "I'm waiting for the right moment, that's all." "How long have you been engaged?" I whispered. She blushed a deep red, and I got the idea, although I really don't know how. "Jeez, you shady girl!" I whispered and smiled before I walked away happily. An arm grabbed me. "Let's go get the cake." My mother and Sally announced to me inboth ears. They hauled me away into the kitchen, and as soon as we got in there, my eyes almost popped out of my head. "That's. My. Cake?!" I said. I mean, the thing was HUGE. There were six tiers, and the cake was on a table on wheels. Pretty extravagant for a birthday cake. "Do you like it?" My mother asked as we wheeled it out. "Has Percy seen it?" "Nope."They both stated in unison. I shrugged and followed my mother and mother-in-law as we walked down trhe hallway once more. But this time, I realized that there were pictures of Percy and I. Lots. There was one of us holding hands on a beach, and another one of Percy when he was six or seven pointing to his missing tooth. There was one of us on the sofa, leaning in to kiss each other, the TV shining behind us. Sally took me out of the trance. "Sweetheart, we have to go dop the cake!" I picked up my pace and followed them into the living room. Paul and my father were conducting the crowd in "happy Birthday" and Sally handed me a knife. Percy came up behind me and put his hands on top of mine. Some girls giggled, but I couldn't hear them. The first piece out was shoved in Percy's mouth. With the cake in his mouth he said, "Hey! is is ike our edding!" I opened my mouth to laugh, and he shoved one right back into my mouth. Right when I was about to declare war, Posieden came in, yapping away. "People cheered as I blew out the candles, and everyone was shouting, "WE WANT CAKE! WE WANT CAKE!" Our parents took over as Percy pulled me in for a kiss. "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!" Piper and Hazel cried. Tyson gave us a group hug, and I couldn't help but glance at Jason, Piper, Grover, Juniper, Hazel, and Frank for help. I soon as we were released, the entire crowd shouted, "SURPRISE< SURPRISE!" And after that, I forget what happened, but I think it went like this: kiss, clean-up, kiss, cleanup. For the rest of the night.
