This should be funny. Hope you like it! :D….

Ok, Percy, calm down, I kept telling myself. I was in my room in Manhattan, lying on my bed. Tonight, Annabeth and I were going to do something. Something very difficult. Something that should change our relationship.

She had told me that she wanted to do this for a very long time, ever since we celebrated our 2 year anniversary of us being together. We weren't married. Not yet. She seemed pretty confident that enough time has passed. So I tried to convince myself that we were going to do the right thing. But still, there was a part of me that wasn't sure. What if things go wrong? What will happen then? Will we still be able to be with each other?

These thoughts kept buzzing in my head, when Paul entered the room. I had only told him what we're going to do, so he understands. He sat down on my bed and I sat up.

"Percy, tonight will be fine," he said, giving me a reassuring smile. "Don't worry. Things will turn out OK. In the end, you'll come back happier, you'll see." And with that he got up and went to the door. But before he left, he said "If you come back."

I sighed loudly and fell down on my bed. Come on, Percy. You can do this.

I looked at my watch and it was 6:00pm. My eyes widened.

Oh no! I'm supposed to be at Annabeth's in 30 minutes.

I ran to the bathroom, took a shower, got dressed in something not too fancy but still presentable and left. My mom and Paul had already left. Paul probably came to wish me luck. Before I left, the phone rang. It was Annabeth.

"Seaweed Brain, where in Hades are you?" she said angrily.

"I'm about to leave right now," I said sheepishly.

"You forgot didn't you?" she said, calmer but still angry.

"Forget? No way. Just lost track of time. See you there, love." I said.

She sighed. "Fine. Can't wait," she said, using her sweet voice and hung up. I gulped at the thought, but then I smiled. She could never stay too angry at me when I coax her with romantic words.

I locked the door and made my way to my Chevrolet Captiva Poseidon got me for my 18th birthday, which was last week. It was black and had a trident on the front Chevrolet sign. Then I asked him to draw an owl next to the trident. Something to impress Athena. Did it work? Let's just say this. It's easier to impress a wall.

I got in and drove to Annabeth's, deep in thought about tonight. They lived across Manhattan, so it was a 10 minute drive. When I got there, Annabeth was waiting by the door. She sighed when she saw me and came to greet me. Then she led me inside, clearly excited about tonight. As we were going inside, I told her "Are you sure you want to do this?"

She stopped at the door and turned. The she told me in her teasing voice "Is Percy Jackson afraud?"

"No but-" she cut me off by saying "Percy you dove into an army of hellhounds with no fear."

"Yeah but-"

"You faced 3 titans and won."

"But I had-"

"And you defeated the Titan Lord."

"Actually you were-"

"So are you telling me that Percy Jackson. The Percy Jackson, is afraid to face my parents?"
