The Surprising News

Percy POV

I couldn't believe what I had just heard. I would never do that! She's my best friend for Zeus's sake! I looked over and saw that she had the same expression that I probably have right now. Why would the gods want us to do that? Hadn't we've had enough drama for a lifetime? I could only think how I got into this mess.

***Flashback 1 hour ago***

Percy POV

I was sitting down at the beach dealing with the breakup with Annabeth. She moved back to California for a college scholarship she received and to see her family again. It was a mutual breakup so I was semi sad and semi happy. I was sad because I won't see her for another 8 years; I was happy for her because this is what she's always wanted.

I sighed and walked back towards camp and towards the pavilion to get food. I saw Thalia and said hi. She had quit the Hunters so she could live at the same age as her friends instead of being 15 forever. I got his food and offered to my dad. I felt a salty breeze and a voice,

"Go to the beach."

After dinner, I went down to the beach where dad was waiting for him.

"Why did you call me dad?" I ask

"You are wanted on Olympus for an important announcement." he responds.

"Hold on" him and me then teleported to Olympus.

"Go to the council room in 10 minutes"

"What's this important announcement?" I ask.

"You'll have to wait and find out" Poseidon says and winks.

He then disappears into a salty mist leaving me all alone. 8 minutes later I decide to head to the council room. I enter and the first thing I see is that not only all the gods were here but Thalia was also. When she saw me, she blushed, then scowled and glared at Aphrodite. When I saw her my breath stopped for a moment and my heart skipped a beat. I mentally slapped and shook my head thinking I shouldn't feel this way about her. A voice, which I suspect is Aphrodite says,

"You won't be able to resist it for long Percy."

I groan inwardly and reply, "I have two requests, no two demands"

"And they would be what?" she asks.

"1. Leave my mind, and 2. Stay away from my love life!" I exclaim

"Awwww, but it's so much fun, like how I messed with Thalia earlier.Oh! They're about to announce it! This is going to be so exciting!"

"Wait! What do you mean you messed with Thalia? What are they going to announce?" I question but it was too late.

I came back into focus and heard Zeus finish his speech,

"And to prevent it from happening again the two shall be wed effective immediately"

I shook my head desperately hoping I didn't hear what I just heard.

"Excuse me, what did you just say?" I ask

"I said that you and Thalia will marry to prevent another disaster from happening." Zeus replies plainly

Thalia POV

Did they just say what I think they just said? I would never do something like that. He's my best friend for dad's sake! How could they ever think of something like that? Why would they want us to do that! Haven't we had enough drama for a lifetime? I look at him and see his expression; I probably have the same expression he has right now. I can only think of how I got into this mess.

***Flashback 1 hour ago***

Thalia POV

I'm walking around the woods thinking about what just happened, Annabeth and Percy broke up. Apparently she got a scholarship to a college in California. Like the sweet guy he is, Percy let Annabeth go so she could be happy even if he won't see her for another 8 years. I reach the edge of the woods and see him sitting on the beach looking at the horizon most likely thinking about the same thing. I walk the opposite way and head back to camp.

I head towards the pavilion to get food and say hi to Percy. I get my food and offer it to my dad. I smell ozone and hear

"Go to the woods"

After dinner, I walk towards the woods while seeing Percy walking towards the beach. When I get to the woods I see my dad waiting there for me.

"Why'd you call me dad?" I ask

"I'm taking you to Olympus for a special announcement"

"Hold on" he tells me; he teleports us into the Olympian council room.

"Can you tell me now what this "special announcement" is?" I ask

"We have to wait until Percy gets here" he says

"Why does he need to be here?" I question

"Because this special announcement involves both of you"

"Okay, whatever" I then hear a voice in the back of my mind

"Oh, this is so exciting! You're going to be so ecstatic when you hear the announcement!" squeals the all too well known annoying high-pitched voice.

"Aphrodite, what do you mean by that?" I ask her growling

"Can't say! It's a surprise! Oh, it's so much fun messing with people's love lives!" she squeals.

Seriously! Is there a moment where she's not squealing

"Please tell me you're not messing with Percy again are you?" I ask her.

"No I'm not…." She says back

"Good, Percy has ha-" I say

"I'm also messing with yours as well." She interrupts me.

"Hey Aphrodite?"

"Yes?"

"STAY AWAY FROM MINE AND PERCY'S LOVE LIFE!" I shout at her mentally enough to make her cringe inwardly and outwardly. I smirk.

Just then Percy enters the throne room and I can't help but notice how hot he looks. And I mean HOT. He looks at me and I blush. I hear Aphrodite giggle in the back of my head and I glare at her. I keep glaring at her until I hear my dad say

"And to prevent it from happening again the two shall be wed effective immediately" he says.

I blink once. Twice. Three times. Did he just say what I think he said? No, he probably said something else and I misheard him. Percy asks,

"Excuse me, what did you just say?"

My dad answers plainly, "I said that you and Thalia will marry to prevent another disaster from happening"

3rd Person POV

After standing there in shock for a minute, Thalia faints but Percy catches her. Then he realizes what Zeus said and he faints right next to her. All the gods had mixed emotions from giddiness to nervousness. They decided to continue the discussion when the to be bride and groom wake up.

So peoples….how do you like it?

Good? Bad? Okay?

Review! It's as simple and easy as breathing!

Peace People of the World,
