*Madrid, Spain*

|Percy Jackson|

"Por dios! Eso es precioso!", Alisha exclaimed in spanish. I sometimes forget that the girl was born in a hispanic country.

We were currently visiting Madrid, Spain. We have left Athens about four weeks ago, and visited Rome, France and Switzerland as planned. So far, our trip was going good. We have bought suitcases to bring everything with us, but things as clothes were kept in our backpacks, since those had infinite space.

In my defense, I hadn't bought a lot of things. A few souvenirs from France, chocolates from Switzerland and lots of clothes. As I said before, I hadn't brought to much with me.

Now, instead of taking a cab, we decided it would be better to walk. We had a big and unhealthy breakfast and Lish, being the girl she is, suggested we should walk and take a look around the city, too.

We arrived yesterday around noon, but we were to tired to go anywhere. Belive it or not, we were atacked by a couple of monsters in the train station, but instead of killing them (which might have caught the attention of many mortals), we avoided them.

"Hey Perce, do you think we should leave her alone? She is mumbling things in spanish that I can't understand. I think she finally lost it", Alec joked, earning a slap in the chest from his girlfriend.

"I am not crazy! Have you taken a look at this place? It's awesome! I always knew I had family here as well, but I am not sure where. I think in Galicia. De todas formas, si mis parientes son como mi madre los describia..", Alisha trailed off, the last sentence spoken in spanish once again. Evie seemed to be lost deep in thought, but every once in a while she would look around, as if she had forgot where she was.

I nudged her with my elbow, making her turn to me.

"Do you fancy and ice cream?", I asked with over-exagerated British accent, and she giggled.

"Of course", she replied in the same tone. I grabbed her hand and pulled her with me. We crossed the street and found ourselves entering a small ice cream shop. The place looked pretty girly, with white and pink straps everywhere. It looked kind of cute, in my opinion, but not a place I would go.

I paid the cashier an amount of money and continued to order our ice creams. Evie insisted she wanted chocolate and lemon, while I chose vainilla and caramel. A few minutes later, we were sitting by a table, taking bites of the other's food. At the other side of the street, an enthusiastic Alisha was holding hands with Alec, or pulling him everywhere for him.

"So.. About the wedding", Evie started, and I turned to look at her with raised eyebrows. We hadn't talked about my meet up with my friends in weeks.

"Do you know the date yet?", she asked, and I nodded.

"Yep. In three months or so. Piper is working non-stop with the Aphrodite girls, and many other demigods are helping organising it. Hephaestus is forging the rings and some gods like Athena are planning the setting while Aphrodite decides on the decoration", I informed her. She bit her lip nervously and glanced around, avoiding my gaze. "What's wrong?"

"Um.. nothing. All those stuff just made me think if I would ever have a wedding like normal people do.. You know, as normal as it can be for a daughter of Nyx", she said, and I smiled in response.

Don't get me wrong, I thought about the possibility of building a future with Evelyn. We have been dating for six years and right now we would be in our mid-twenties, perfect timing for marriage. However, to be honest, I am scared. The first time I though of this type of commitment, made me ask Hephaestus to forge the most beautiful ring ever, suitable for Annabeth. I was going to wait until we reached twenty to propose to her, and I knew we would still be together by then. Aphrodite assured me we were soulmates, and that we had a future together.But as you know, not everything turned out as I wanted to.
