Percy's POV

I'd been planning it for weeks. I've had the ring for months-a silver band with a diamond in the middle (I'd done my research-the name diamond derived from a Greek word) and an aquamarines on either side, with the words For my Wise Girl engraved inside. I knew where and how I was going to do it. Just not when. And then I thought of the perfect day.

Annabeth's POV

I woke up and sighed. Not exactly the way to start your birthday. Except this wasn't exactly going to be my best birthday. I was turning twenty-three, which meant I had a year left at camp. I could still visit after I left, even everyday if I wanted, but it wouldn't be the same. When we were eighteen, Percy and I went to college (yes, Percy. I was really surprised, and extremely proud. He had a lot of trouble with High School!). He majored in Marine Biology, and I majored in Architecture. And then we came back to camp. But at twenty-four, you have to leave. Which, unfortunately, is only a year from this years birthday. Which, unfortunately, was today.

My birthday wasn't great. A few campers outside of the Athena cabin wished me a happy birthday, most of them older campers I had known for years, like Katie, the Stolls, Clarisse, but most of the younger campers are kind of shy around us old folk. Unfortunately, Piper and Jason are still in college, so they weren't here. And Percy, my own boyfriend, was no where to be seen. The rest of the day was normal. I now taught Greek Mythology, Archery, and some days I helped Percy with Sword and Shield. Not today, though. Again, I wondered why I hadn't seen him. We normally said hi to each other at breakfast along with…other things. I turned to a little Demeter girl who was having a hard time at Archery. "Have you guys been to Sword and Shield yet?" I asked. She nodded to me, eyes wide. I smiled at her, but inside I was disappointed. "Mr. Jackson asked me to give you something." a voice so tiny I could barely hear it said. I turned around a saw the little Demeter girl I had talked to seconds before. "Really?" I almost asked why she hadn't told me before, but held myself back. She nodded and handed me an envelope. I opened it. Inside was a pair of silver owl earrings. Real original, Seaweed Brain, I thought. There was also a card. Inside Percy had written:

Happy Birthday, Annabeth!

Meet me by the canew lake at six p.m. sharp.

I smiled at the way he spelled canoe. And then I why in the world he wanted to meet me at the canoe lake.

The rest of the day passed quickly. I was so excited to find out what Percy was planning that I ran right to the lake. But then I remembered that I hadn't brushed my hair since the morning. No, I wasn't turning into a Aphrodite girl, but I didn't want my hair to look like a birds nest. Luckily, it didn't take to long, and I was at the lake with three minutes to spare. And there was no sign of Percy. I walked over to the pier and let my feet dangle slightly above the water. Suddenly, I heard a noise behind me, but before I could turn around, I was pushed into the water. (A/N I should stop here, but I'm nice, so I'll write more.) And then I was in a bubble, warm and dry, with…Percy (A/N Duh duh dun! I bet you were expecting that!) "Percy!" I yelled. He smiled, "Happy Birthday, Annabeth." I glared at him, "Don't you 'Happy Birthday' me! I don't see you all day and then you have the audacity to push me in the water!" As I watched the smile fall off of his face, I couldn't help but smirking. He looked way to worried. Usually he just apologized, but know he looked REALLY worried. I mean, I wasn't really mad at him. I smiled. "Seaweed Brain, I was joking." He immediately looked relieved. "Oh, good, I thought….never mind. Did you like your present?" I smiled and nodded, pulling back my hair to show him the earrings. "Good. I have another present for you. Just look behind." So I turned around, confused. Hundreds of little fish were forming, spelling out words. Turn Around. What was that Seaweed Brain up to? I turned around…to Percy kneeling with a ring in hand. Oh my Gods, was he? "Annabeth, I've known you for eleven years, and you've been my best friend and so much more. Will you…will you marry me?" Gods, he was!

Percy's POV

Annabeth looked shocked, and for one second I was worried. "Of…of course I will, Seaweed Brain." she said. I smiled, stood up, and slipped the ring on her finger. And then we shared the second best underwater kiss of all time.

I don't know how old you are when you leave camp half-blood, so I made it up. I will update when I get two reviews. (Yes, I do set my standards low.) Also, if you think of a better name, I will give virtual cookies - blue, of course!
