Just wanted a change from the one I'm already doing. The ones at Percy's party that aren't mentioned are up to interpretation.

Percy slumped down on a table surrounded by his male friends. They had all met up to celebrate Percy's eighteenth birthday and there was a very special reason none of his female friends were there. They felt that they would take pity on him or take advantage of him given his current situation.

"I'm really sorry man," Jason gave Percy a comforting pat on the back, "I mean, in what world is it ever a good idea to dump someone on their birthday? It's just in terrible taste."

"If you're trying to make me feel better, you're failing about as miserably as I feel." Percy crossed his arms on the table and placed his head on them, "The last thing I want to think about right now is Athena's daughter."

"Jeez, not even referring to her by name?" Nico asked, "It must have been quite the scene."

"Well I'll tell you what," Jason piped up, "We're gonna get some drinks, non-alcoholic for you," Jason pointed to Nico, who scoffed, "order some wings, and you're on your third drink, the first girl to walk in that door," Jason pointed to the main entrance of the restaurant, "you're gonna ask out on a date."

"That's a terrible plan," Percy grumbled.

"Better than watching you be all mopey."

"Whatever."

...

Percy was only on his second drink when the others, besides Nico, had reached their eighth and were completely wasted. Though Percy was no one to talk. Even though his dad was one of the big three, Percy was a lightweight. He could see four of everyone and everything else was a purple haze.

"How ya feelin' Pershy?" He heard... someone's voice.

"hic"

"Goo' ta hear."

"Percy, how many fingers am I holding up?" One of the Nicos asked.

"hic, sixteen?"

"He's worse off than the rest of you."

"Oh, he'sh fine," Percy felt an arm wrap around his shoulder as he was pulled to the right. Wait, was it Jason to his right or Grover? Was Grover even here? "Righ' Persh?"

"hic"

"Now hurry up and drink. You've got two more," twelve fingers entered Percy's line of sight.

Percy lifted his glass, which he had grasped firmly with both hands so he wouldn't lose it, and drank. He shuddered a bit as the bitter, yet somewhat sweet, liquid flowed down his throat. He still needed to get used to the taste. He drank until the tall glass was empty and placed it carefully back on the table.

"Man," a voice to his left said, "for a lightweight, you can really chug."

"hic"

"What do you expect from someone who's incapable of drowning," Now there were eight Nicos.

Someone placed a third drink in front of Percy, "Drink."

Percy downed the third drink faster than the second and was now seeing twelve of everyone.

"hic, since when were there so many people celebrating.. hic.. why are we here again?"

"Nico, ta'e 'im to da door."

Percy watched the twelve Nicos disappear before something pulled on his arm. He went whatever it was.

"hic, where are we going?"

"All you need to remember is that as soon as you see a pretty girl," the something pushed him down, " say 'will you go out with me?' Got it?"

"hic."

"Got it?"

"Got it. hic."

Percy sat there for a few moments before seeing the most beautiful sight. Twelve beautiful girls with glistening red, no, auburn hair. Percy stood up and almost fell over.

"Woah-oh," he quickly caught himself, "hic, excuse me, miss?"

The twelve girls eyed him with surprise and confusion, but he just though their silver eyes were pretty.

"You have really pretty eyes," All the girls blushed at the statement, "wait, that's not what I was, hic, supposed to say... What was it again?... hic... Will you... uh, hic... will you... will, uh..."

"Will I what?" The girls looked anxious and annoyed at the same time.

"Will you... hic... something with me? Uh... hic... Oh!" Percy snapped his fingers when he thought he remembered it, "Will you marry me?"

"YOU 'AD WAN VINE!" someone yelled.

"Sit down Jathon, youw dwunk."

"SO ARE YOU!"

"Did I, hic, say it wrong?" Percy asked.

"Y-yes," The girls said, their faces burning red.

"Oh, the how was I supposed to-?"

"Yes, I will marry you!"

"WHAT THE FUCK!" Numerous voices yelled.

...

"Ah!" Percy gripped his head from a splitting headache, "What the fu-? Why does my head hurt so much? What happened last night?"

He gasped when a slender, delicate arm wrapped around him. He cautiously turned around, scared to find out who he was in bed with. He stared at the cute, sleeping face hiding behind the auburn hair, not recognizing it at first, but as soon as he did...

"Uh," he shuffled back a bit, "uh," he lifted himself up, "Ah," He looked around at the extravagant room as he realized exactly where he was, "AH!" The doors burst open as Thalia entered, 'IT'S NOT WHAT IT-! AT LEAST I DON'T THINK IT'S WHAT IT-! WHAT AM I EVEN DOING HERE!?"

"Oh, you're finally awake," Thalia said in a casual tone, "Morning Percy."

"Uh, morning... Wait, why am I here?" Percy was so confused.

"You want the short version?" Percy nodded his head, "Lady Artemis has been harboring feelings for you and decided to confess to you on your birthday, but you beat her to the punch by drunk proposing to her, causing a scene that the other gods are still trying to deal with, and now you're set to be married in three days."

"Why is it always three days? Wait, MARRIED!?"

"Mmmm, Quiet down, I'm tryin'a sleep," Percy looked down to see the Goddess of the Hunt gripping his hand, "Please lay back down Percy."

Percy hesitantly complied to the Goddess. The instant his head touched the pillow, Artemis wrapped her arms around him and snuggled up close. Percy was taken aback, the normally stoic, and man-hating, Goddess was genuinely happy to have him with her. Was this all a dream? A fantasy to try and cheer himself up after being dumped? No, he never would've fantasized about Artemis, if only out of respect for her. This was reality. He Accepted it almost an instant, returning the Goddess's embrace. This was what he wanted, maybe not how he wanted it, or even who, but the sentiment, the love, that's all he wanted.

"Percy?" Artemis asked.

"Yeah?"

"I know you were drunk and probably don't remember proposing to me, so I understand if you want to back out."

"Well, I was just dumped yesterday, so I don't want you to feel like a rebound."

"Ok."

"But I also don't want to back out. So maybe we should postpone the wedding, get to know each other, and each other's families. You with my mom and me with the Hunters?"

"I'd like that," Artemis rubbed her head on his chest, "very much."

For this story, reader input is highly appreciated. This is, as you could likely tell, a Pertemis story, just to stray from the bigger harem influence.

Lemons?... Depends on how the story progresses.

Other Pairings? Won't be explored by me, but you can feel free to volunteer to write your own stories to follow in this ones continuity.

Why did Annabeth dump Percy? Same as above. I just really like the idea of multiple authors working on the same continuity. I also just love audience participation.

Will Drunk Percy return? Depends on if you liked him.
