Ok, this is my first PJO story, so tell me what you think!

Percy and Annabeth are about 19.

Annabeth's POV

*come on, come on!*

I was sitting on the beach with Percy, I really wanted him to ask me something, but he didn't seen to get what I was hinting at.

"Sooo, hey did you see that last episode of Frankensteins girl?" (Yeah, I made up a drama romance tv show) I asked lamely.

"No, what happened?"

"Well, Frankenstein proposed to Lady Lily, it was REALLY SWEET!" I said, hopping he got what I was getting at.

"Hmm, I didn't know you were into that kind of stuff."

"Well, not really, just the really great ones, you know, the ones where the guy and the girl are like PERFECT for each other."

"Frankenstein is perfect for the high class Princess of Translyvania?" (Yeah, ok, Frankenstien doesn't come from Translyvania... But Dracula does!)

"Umm, yes?..."

"Hmm, never thought of it that way."

"anyway, does that episode make you want to do anything?" I leaned really close to him.

"Hmm, not really... Oh wait!" He got down on one knee, I grinned bigger than Grover on a sugar rush, "Annabeth, will you-"

"Oh gods yes!" I yelled and jumped down to kiss him.

"Wow, I didn't know you'd react so strongly,"

"Well why wouldn't I have?" I was still grinning like a fool.

"Because I was about to ask you to help me find my contact lens, I think it dropped out."

"Oh," I said, very dissapointed, "How do you know it fell out?"

"Because your beautiful face looks a bit blurry." We both smiled.

I thought, as we dug through the warmed sand, Percy's a great guy, but, he just can't tell I'm trying to get him to ask me to marry him! I would do it myself, but, I dunno, I guess as a little girl I always dreamed that my proposal would come from the guy, and the moment would be perfect. Wow, I sound like a daughter of Aphrodite! Eww...

"Found it!"

"Great!" I smiled, then we both leaned in, strange reason to kiss, but who was I to object? But then, of course, as the fates would have it, the whole aphrodite cabin started giggling from behind a patch of grass. We both turned our heads only to see them singing, "Percy and Annabeth sitting in a tree, KISSING!" then they all started giggling like the idiots they are. (Sorry to all the people who are in the Aphrodite cabin!)

"go away!" I half yelled, half laughed at them, the Percy started pulling my up.

"come on!" he whispered.

We both ran the the sea, went we got to the salty edge I'd water we both jumped in, or course, any other girl would be basically trying to commit suicide, but since my boyfriend was the legendary Percy Jackson, that will never be a problem.

Percy's POV

I fingered the velvet case in my jacket pocket, I knew this would have been a great place to propose, but there was still something holding me back.

*flashback*

"I do not approve of the relationship between you and my daughter." Athena said, when I went to Olympus to ask her permission to marry Annabeth.

"But I love your daughter!" I pleaded.

"Do you think I care! I will never allow one of my daughters to marry the son of Poseidon! I FORBID YOU!"

"And what if I ask her?"

"then I will curse you and all the people that you love!" Athena trembled with might.

I said, "but then you'd be cursing Annabeth..." I looked to the ground.

"yes.. Well.. If that's the price I must pay to keep you two apart, then so be it!"

Then I got an idea, "Wait!"

Athena looked back at me, "What if I completed a task for you? Then would you think me worthy enough to marry your daughter?" I asked hopefully.

"Maybe, but the task would be a horrifying and painful journey." he raised her eyebrows.

"I will do anything, and I mean ANYTHING to marry your daughter."

"very well, come back here in exactly 1 week, you may bring along 2 campers from camp half-blood, not a soul more."

*End Flashback*

*Sigh*

I was planning on asking Beckendorf, but then he died... Grover was off saving Pan, everyone else was pretty much afraid to go on a quest with me, yeah, they think they'll die or something! Where'd they get that idea! I didn't want to put Annabeth in danger, but if I didn't tell her, she'd kill me before I even got on the quest, But then she'll want to come, aw geez... Well, I could get Nico! Yeah! He's only a little creepy now, and he would help if that task had anyhting to do with the underworld. OK then, it was decided, I'd bring Nico, and I already knew Annabeth was going to let her go. Gods I hope she'll be safe...

OK! what did you think? I'm sorry to those who like Aphrodite, but in my opinion, annabeth isn't really a girly girl, I hope you can agree. And when you read about Nico going on the quest you were probably staring at your computer screen thinking, "Nico?" but trust me, he'll be important! And if you think 19 is too young to get married, well, it legaly isn't, at least I dont think...
