"He's so gonna ask you Wise Girl, I can feel it." It killed Percy on the inside to send his best friend out to get engaged, but he'd rather she be happy with who she wants to be with then keep her for himself.
"You really think so...? I mean he's been giving me like proposal eyes all week."
"See, so he's definitely gonna ask you."
"Oh Percy, what would I do without you!" She gave him a hug and for a second all was right on the world. She always loved hugging Percy, it always felt right. He felt it too, but would never in a million years would he say a thing.

The doorbell rang.

"Oh thats me!" She felt her stomach flutter with nerves and excitement. Percy got up and answered the door.

"Hey Luke." He said with a sharpness to his voice.

"Sup Peter."
"Percy."

"Oh oops." Percy really would like to just punch that smug smirk off his face, hopefully giving him another scar. "Hey is Annabeth ready yet? Annie?"

"Coming!" She came out looking stunning. Luke seemed unimpressed, while Percy was almost drooling. She carefully, and gracefully descended the stairs in her heels, careful not to fall, and kissed both boys on the cheek as she was lead out the door by Luke. Percy wanted to give him a 'I'm watching you' look but Luke was already out the door when he got the chance.

"You look so great Annie." She blushed.

"Thanks Luke. Where are we going for dinner?"

"You know that restaurant you like uh... that uh Italian place?"

"Yeah?"

"There."

"Great! You're the best." Luke wanted tonight to be great so much so that when they got there he had reserved a special room where they could eat privately, and actually hear each other. Annabeth was without a doubt certain that he would propose to her. Why else would he have reserved the only private room in the restaurant!? He took her hand and kissed it. "Oh Luke, tonight's already amazing." He was happy to hear she was happy...

"You look like every guy's dream." She blushed... "Lets enjoy tonight." She nodded and he took her hand... her left hand. Oh he's so gonna do it here and tonight. "Get whatever you want." He winked, causing her already apparent blush to deepen. The waiter came over and took their orders, brought them out... normal restaurant things.

"Was there... any particular reason for such a great night?" She batted her eyes flirtatiously.

"Baby, Annie, we both know why we're here. I see it in your eyes." She smiled, he paid attention to her eyes! "I guess it calms my fears to know its not a surprise." She was on the edge of her seat, ready to jump into his arms. "I mean look at you! Looking like a dream come true, leaving me absolutely and utterly speechless... But now we're wide awake. We've got plans to make." Luke paid attention when she would talk about all her plans!?
"Oh Luke I—"

"Lets take some action baby. So baby give me your hand, I've got dreams to make true. I've got the future all planned." He kissed her hand. "Its time to get serious, serious with you."

"I never thought that I—"

"Honey? I'm not finished."

"Oh! Sorry." She ducked her head and motioned for him to continue.

"You know... since I was two or three my life was planned out neat. I'd..." He got distracted by the gleam in her eye.

"get my senate seat, and a big BIG white house with three kids—"

"Like the Kennedy's."

"Yeah, like the Kennedy's. Well... here's where our lives begin... but where do you fit in?"
