Percy POV

"You can do this, all we have to do is get in, eat and get out okay? At any point you want to get out of there, you let me know and I bolt us out of there okay." We're standing outside the Chase residence, Annabeth is nervous to see her dad who she hasn't' tried seen in about 2 or 3 years. Also were here to announce our engagement, but we might not get there.

"Okay. Lets go." I knock on the door and Helen opens the door.

"Annabeth, and... Peter?"

"Percy ma'am."

"Percy, my mistake, please, come in. Dinner will be ready in less than 20 minutes so please make yourselves at home."

"Thank you." I take Annabeth's hand and walk her in. She hasn't picked her head up, she's focused on her feet.


"Percy!!!"

"Hey gu— OOF. H-how are you guys?"

"We're good." Annabeth still won't take her eyes off of her feet.

"Annabeth? Y-you're brothers..."

"oh right! How are you guys?"

"Percy just asked us."

"Oh uh... hows school?"

"We don't start for anther two weeks."


"Come on Wise Girl, lets sit down." I take her hand and walk her over to the couch. "Hi sir." I stick my hand out to shake Mr. chase's hand but he stands up and hugs his daughter. I'm not mad, you're mad.

"Dad, I can't breathe."

"Sorry." He sits down, and we sit across from him. "So Percy, last I saw you, you were 14? And on a quest to rescue my daughter?"

"Yes sir, and if I do say so myself it was a success."

"Do you have plans for after high school?"

"Yessir, Annabeth and I will attend New Rome, and get our degrees there, protected."

"Annabeth will not be attending New Rome."

"What?"

"She will be going to Yale, Berkeley, or Harvard."

"Oh I wasn't—"

"— No Dad, I am going wherever Percy goes. I- I can't live without him."

"Young lady, you will not speak to me with such disrespect."


"Dinner!!" Thank the gods, I'm starving and I did not want to see Annabeth have to defend herself to her own father.

"Everything looks so good ma'am."

"Thank you Percy, and just in case you don't like the roast, I have some chicken I can heat up."

"Thank you, but I'm sure this will be great." Meanwhile Annabeth and her dad are having a glaring match

"Alright everybody eat up! Annabeth? Maybe go easy on the potatoes okay?" D-did she just insult my Wise Girl?

"I'm sorry what did you say to her?"

"I'm just looking out for her. We wouldn't want her getting fat and losing you now would we?"

"How dare you! First you insult her, and then you insult my integrity? You owe her an apology." Helen just rolls her eyes.

"Perce they're not worth it." I nod ands the down.

"That's right you will show respect young lady."

"Why are you so awful to her? You're the one that created a demigod, so if you want someone to blame it should be yourself." I pull Annabeth close and kiss her temple.

"Whatever, lets just eat so we can get out of here."

...

After dinner Matt and Bobby came up to us and asked us to play with them. Annabeth agreed but stayed offer to help clean up.

"Dinner was delicious, thanks for having us over."

"Of course dear, anytime!" Helen's attitude changed so closely I was caught off guard.

"Percy."

"Yes Mr. Chase?"

"We need to have a talk."

"O-okay." So we walked over to the living room and took a seat across from each other.

"Tell me Percy, what makes you worthy of my daughter."

"I'm not at all worthy to even know her, but I try my very best everyday to be the best I can be so I can be there for her."

"Do you love her?"

"Yes. With every fiber in my being."

"Are you trying to ruin her future?"

"What— uh no, no sir that is not at all my intention."

"And what are your intentions?"

"To make her as happy as I possibly can." I can't believe how fast I'm coming up with these answers, I've never thought so fast in my life.

"And how do you plan on doing that?"

"I will do whatever she wants. If she wants to go to Yale or Harvard or wherever, I will support her, a—"

"Dad! Stop it. You have no right to interrogate Percy."

"Wise Girl its fine, I think I'm doing pretty well."

"You're not."

"Can you just leave him be? Please?! Because quiet frankly, I don't care if you approve of him or not. I do, I love him, he chose to be with me of all people! He chose me, please don't make him regret that decision."

"I will always pick you." She hugged me, and I saw a tear fall from her eye and run down her cheek. "Hey, no need to cry, okay Wise Girl? I love you. I always will. I'd jump back into Tartarus if meant making you happy."

"Back?"

"Yes dad, back. If you cared at all you would have known we fell in and we had to close the doors of death. I was being pulled down, and Percy caught me. The rock gave out and we fell a good 15 feet below the earth and believe me, percy had every chance to just drop me and save himself but he didn't he fell with me! So you owe him an apology because we are leaving. Come on Percy." She took my hand and walked me out, slamming the door shut behind us.

"I'm sorry."

"Why are you sorry? He was the one interrogating you." She put her head on my chest, and I wrapped my arms around her. She looked up at me, and I kissed her forehead. "Crap, we didn't say bye to my brothers."

"We'll see them again. I promise." We got in the car and drove to our hotel.
