The date
Percy's POV
I paced back and forth in my cabin. Reciting my lines. This had to go perfectly! I mean I'm 99% positive she'll say yes. I checked my watch. 6:12. I better go check and make sure everything is ready.
Annabeth's POV
6:05
I'm currently getting my makeup done. It wasn't my idea but the girls kidnapped me and brought me to the Aphrodite cabin. Piper was doing my hair and Hazel, who's visiting Camp, was doing my makeup.
"Finished!" Hazel said. I looked at myself in the mirror. I like it. It wasn't a lot. Perfect.
Not long after, Piper finished my hair. She put it in a princess style. With two strands from the front pulled to the back.
"Now time for the dress!" Piper said. She pulled out a gorgeous sea green dress.
"Wow, that's beautiful!" I exclaimed.
Minutes later(don't judge we were trying to not mess up my hair.) I was in the dress. I did a little twirl in it.
"You look stunning!" Piper exclaimed.
"Fully agree!" Hazel agreed.
"Well, time for my date!" I said. Then there was a knock on the door.
"He's here!" Piper squealed.
"Piper calm down, your Aphrodite is showing." I said opening the door.
There Percy stood. My boyfriend and the savior of Olympus(twice).
"Hey. You look beautiful," Percy said.
"Why thank you. You look handsome."
"Thanks. Are you ready?"
"Yes but I'd be even MORE ready if you told me where we are going."
"You'll just have to wait."
"Percyyyyy," I whined. Percy laughed. We walked to Thalia's tree and got in the van. We said a quick hello to Argus. On the ride I constantly kept asking Percy where we were going and every time he would say, "Just wait and see." Ugh so annoying.
Then we pulled up at a breathtaking restaurant. The outside was brick and had large windows. There was an archway for cars to drive through and get out and the outside also had water fountains. It was beautiful.
We walked inside and their was a person at the counter. He had dark black hair slicked back, a black tuxedo and white gloves.
"Hello! My name is Gabriel. Do you have a reservation?" He asked with a thick French accent.
"Yes. Percy Jackson." Percy answered. Gabriel flipped through a book.
"Ahh yes. Right this way." He led us through a series of booths and tables. Then we arrived at our table. It was near the back and we had a nice view of the city. This place is amazing. We ordered our drinks, sparkling cider. We made a bit of small talk. For example we talked about our jobs and pranks Leo pulled on us. The it was time to order.
I was craving some lobster but Percy wouldn't even dare let me look at the seafood section. So I settled for a steak.
Surprisingly soon our food was here. I devoured it. Then we ordered dessert. It was a delicious lava cake. It almost tasted like a brownie. The chocolate taste overwhelmed my mouth. The ice cream and caramel drizzle made it perfect.
I then excused myself to the bathroom. As I was washing my hands a woman came in. She had dark straight hair. I accidentally bumped into her on my way out. Her purse flew out of her grip and a gun scattered onto the ground.
Her eyes widened in alarm and she hurriedly picked it up and rushed to the bathroom stall. Muttering under her breath. I exited the bathroom. I sensed that stuff was about to go down. I sat back down at the table and told Percy what I saw.
