Percabeth Meets Mortals: Annabeth

Annabeth walked in to Goode expecting to be propositioned. In fact, she was counting on it.

What she hadn't expected was for it to happen so many TIMES.

Just today, she had been asked out by no less than 7 guys. SEVEN.

Just then, as she was organizing her materials in her locker, she was a approached by a human of the male species.

She didn't even bother to look up. "Not interested."

"That hurts, Wise Girl." She heard a familiar male voice respond.

Her head responded before she told it to, jerking up. "Percy!" She exclaimed excitedly. "I thought you had to meet with Paul?"

"I don't. I was just bored in my other class so I thought I would come show you what I had accidentally made. Did you know that my seat is directly over a water pipe?" When she shook her head no, he soldiered on. "Yeah. So I drew some water up and made this." He thrust out an air bubble with water figures moving around. She started to bawl when she saw what it was.

He had managed to enclose the day he had proposed in an air bubble.

That's right.

Percy and Annabeth were engaged.

But it was a secret, so don't tell anyone.

She wasn't even wearing the ring. (But she did wear it when they were at home.)

Which was beautiful, I might add.

It was a two carat blue diamond and on either side there was a pretty one carat grey diamond.

Suddenly someone interrupted her perfect moment.

"Hey. What are you doing making my girl cry?" The big burly football player who had asked Annabeth out every day for the past two weeks asked Percy. She quickly dried her tears, pulling one had on Percy's arm, the other hand taking the air bubble and very gently holding it.

"And what exactly makes you think that I'm 'your girl'?" She sassily put my hand on my hip.

"The fact that I've asked you out."

"I haven't said yes."

"But you will."

"No. I won't."

"Yes, you will."

"No."

"Yes."

Annabeth turned to Percy, sticking out the lovely air bubble. She whispered in his ear the plan so he would know that she wasn't serious.

"You're right. I was going to say yes. In fact, I'm saying yes right..." Annabeth walked over to him and then whispered in his ear. "Now." She judo flipped him and he fell to the floor. She put her knee on his chest so that he couldn't move.

"If you EVER try to break up my boyfriend and I again, I'll murder you with my bare hands. Okay?" She asked him, her voice sugary sweet.

He nodded meekly, seeming to finally grasp the finality of the situation.

Annabeth got up and walked over to Percy, taking her air bubble back from him.

"You ready to go babe?" She asked him, kissing his cheek.

He nodded, then wrapped his arm around her waist.

They made their way out to his car.

"When we get home, you are so putting on that ring." He told her. She laughed, nodding.
