Jasons POV
I was walking to the dining pavilion with Piper when I noticed that Percy wasn't there. "I'm gonna go get Percy"
Piper glanced at me "Okay", she said. Piper kissed me on the cheek and said "Try not to make Percy kill you" She looked totally serious when she said that.
"I would never!" I said.
Piper laughed "Sureee you wouldn't." she answered sarcastically, then turned and walked away.
I walked over to the Poseidon cabin and knocked."Percy?'' There was no answer. I waited a few seconds and knocked again. "Percy? Are you in there?" Suddenly the door swung open and Percy looked out at Jason.
"Hey, Jason. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be snogging your girlfriend" He asked, smirking.
I ignored that comment. "Nah, I was just looking for you."
"Aww, you want to snog me instead. Well, sorry I'm already taken."
"No that's not what I meant and you know it Jackson." I said.
"One silly little comment and now I'm just plain old Jackson. Im hurt, bro. Seriously," Percy commented with a mischevious glint in his eyes. " So.... I'm gonna propose to Annabeth tonight."
I stared at him. He just went from joking to serious in seconds.
"Sorry, what did you say?'' I said incredulously.
"Im. Proposing. To. Annabeth. Tonight. During. Dinner," He said, enunciating each word.
"Are you serious?" I asked excitedly. This is awesome!
"No that's Harry Potters godfather" He replied sarcastically
I rolled my eyes. "You're in a good mood tonight. But anyways, this is amazing! How are you doing it?"
"That's for me to know and you to find out." He pulled a box out of his pocket. "I got a ring made by Leo, so he knows. I made him swear not to tell anyone though."
"Leo made it? Thats awesome!" He opened the box to show me the ring. It was a mix of green, gold and gray, and it was designed to look like marble. It had an engraving on the inside but it was too small for me too read clearly.
"Annabeth is going to love this" I said impressed. He grinned. "I hope so'' he said. "Come on, let's go" He stuffed the ring back in to his pocket.
As we walked to the pavilion, I thought about how I might propose to Piper one day. Hmmmm....
When we got closer I saw Piper talking to Leo. He looked up and saw me and Percy. He winked at Percy then looked back at Piper again. I looked over at Percy and saw how nervous he was. He was sweating and his fingers were tapping nervously against his leg.
"It's going to go great." I said encouragingly to him and he smiled nervously at me.
He walked a little ways towards the middle of the pavilion where Annabeth was standing talking to her cabinmates. He glanced back at me. "Wish me luck, I didn't ask the Athena cabin because I didn't want Annabeth to be suspicious."
"Oh man." I sighed in sympathy. "Good luck."
He grinned, then yelled "Hey, Annabeth!"
Annabeth jumped mid-sentence and turned around. "Yeah, Percy?" I saw Leo pulling a camera out of his pocket and raising it up.
Percy took a deep breath. "I don't like your name." He told her simply. How he managed to say that so nonchalantly was beyond my comprehension. The camp members that hadn't dropped their conversation during Percy's yell were now silent. Mr. D watched lazily as Annabeth and her cabinmates stared at Percy.
"My name? What the Hades is wrong with my name?" She said. Her eyes had a dangerous glint to them. I glanced at Percy nervously and hoped he knew what he was doing.
"I just don't like it. I think you should change it." Some of the campers realised what was going to happen and continued watching excitedly.
"Change it? Change it to what, Betty? Belle?"
Percy smirked and shoved his hands in his pocket. "Oh no, it's not your first name. That's my favorite word in the world," he corrected her. "It's your last name. I think you should change it. Maybe to something more like... Jackson."
He pulled the box out of his pocket and got down on one knee. "Annabeth Chase, will you marry me?" he asked hopefully.
Annabeth looks shocked. "Yes!" she said happily.
He slipped the ring one her finger and stood up. Annabeth wrapped her arms around him and kissed him and everyone laughed.
Chiron stepped forward, and raised a glass of wine in the air. "To Annabeth and Percy!"
All the demigods cheered and toasted to them.
