"What!?" Jason exclaimed. If what the Queen said was true, then Jason had spent the last few months worrying about nothing. He looked to Piper, and her jaw was dropped.

"I said Prince Jason, that you are to marry my daughter. Curious thing that you fell in love first without knowing that isn't it?" Queen Aphrodite restated. She seemed to be in a happy mood now that love was the subject.

Piper still looked very shocked. "This is…unbelievable. I-I can't believe that through all these years…" Piper stared at Jason lovingly. There was an awkward tension between the others present.

"Oh my gods, just kiss already!" The doors slammed open to reveal a raven haired girl that Jason recognized right away.

"Thalia?" Jason asked anyways.

Thalia walked up to him and swung her arm around his shoulder. "Who else, little brother?"

Jupiter stared incredulously at Thalia and Jason. "What made you come back?"

"Oh, I'm not coming back. See this?" Thalia motioned to a silver band across her head, "Queen Artemis's First Lieutenant. I just came because word had it that Prince Jason had saved Princess Piper, and I wanted to come check it out. I didn't come to see you," Thalia made clear.

King Jupiter looked a little angry towards Thalia, so Jason decided to change the subject. Jason took the bracelet off his wrist. "Here Thalia, thanks for your support." He handed it to her. Thalia looked surprised and checked her own wrist.

"That's odd. I didn't send it to you," Thalia shrugged, "Maybe it decided to be there when I couldn't be. Whatever it was, I don't regret it."

Piper stepped up and shook Thalia's hand as Thalia let go of Jason. "I don't regret that that happened either. I'm Piper, Jason's girlfriend. And apparently future wife too," Piper smiled at Jason.

"I'm Thalia, Jason's sister. I remember you from a long time ago when you were born. It's your eyes, I think."

"I've been told," Piper blushed and glanced a Jason. Queen Aphrodite smiled adoringly.

And that was when Jason finally listened to Thalia, and kissed Piper.


A week later, Piper was sitting in front of her bedroom mirror while Princess Annabeth did Piper's hair.

Annabeth and her new husband, Percy, were among the many people from all the kingdoms that had showed up for the wedding. They had been almost the first to arrive, which had given Piper and Annabeth time to become good friends.

Annabeth was going to be a bridesmaid for Piper's wedding, but she had been the first to be done getting ready, which was why she was decorating her hair.

"That looks great, Annabeth!" Piper complemented her. It really did, Piper wasn't lying. Annabeth had braided several pieces of Piper's hair and joined them in an intricate design that made Piper's head spin.

Annabeth smiled, her grey eyes shining. "You know, doing hair is not really that different from designing buildings. It's the same type of thinking anyway," Annabeth explained.

"Annabeth?" Piper asked. She turned around to face Annabeth, instead of looking at her through the mirror's reflection.

"Yes?"

Piper fidgeted with the blue ribbon around her wrist. "I love Jason and all, but I didn't think I would be so nervous! I mean, getting married it's just so…" Piper trailed off.

Annabeth smiled reassuringly. "I know what you mean. It's a big thing. Percy and I had run around together for over eleven years, and we knew everything about each other, but I was still nervous when we got married. It's a natural thing to feel," Annabeth said. Piper nodded even though she still felt anxious.

"I got your dress! And, I've got to say, it's impressive," Hazel said as she walked in with an elegant white dress in her hands.

"Go on, get it on!" Annabeth commanded. Piper jumped up and grabbed the dress and went behind the dressing screen. Hazel followed and helped button and strap it together. Once the dress was completely on, Piper stepped out from the screen.

Annabeth and Lacy, who had apparently come while Piper was getting dressed, gasped. Hazel stepped back to admire her handiwork.

"Oh Piper! Look at you! All dressed up and beautiful! I told you one day I would see that!" Lacy exclaimed while jumping up and down.

Annabeth grabbed the dress and started to examine it. "This really is amazing, you two. The jewels you added to Lacy's design really define it, Hazel."

Hazel blushed. "Well, jewels for me aren't that hard to find…"

"Wow, look at my sister the Beauty Queen! Jason's a lucky man today," A voice said from the door.

"Leo!" Piper yelled, blushing furiously. A few days ago, Queen Aphrodite had admitted to Hephaestus that she had cheated on him. King Hephaestus however, had not been upset about it. Turns out, he had too, and fathered Leo. Leo now lived in the castle with them, and was declared a prince.

Hazel went to Leo and pushed him out the door. "Aren't you supposed to be helping the groom?"

"Well-"

"It was a rhetorical question! Out Out Out!" Hazel demanded. After Leo was out, Hazel shut the door.

Lacy started on Piper's makeup, being a total perfectionist about it. "Uh, I got the eyeliner a little off on one eye again! Where's that wet cloth so I can start over?"

Luckily for Piper, Annabeth declared that enough. "Lacy, this will be the fifth time! It will be okay, nobody will notice! It's just makeup,"

Lacy sighed. "Fine," she mumbled in resignation.

The door opened to reveal a dressed up Percy. "Hey, Annabeth? Are you guys ready? We've been waiting…" Percy trailed off, sensing Annabeth's mood. "But I guess a few more minutes won't hurt, right?" Percy shut the door again.

"Okay, we should actually hurry and finish this up. It's a long way down there," Annabeth stated. Lacy ignored her and finished Piper's makeup according to her own schedule.

"Ah-ha!" Lacy finally exclaimed. "It's absolutely perfect…well, almost, but it will work!"

Hazel grabbed the trainer of Piper's dress. "Come on, let's go!"

Piper glanced at herself in the mirror before they could. Piper didn't mean to sound self-centered or anything, but she did look pretty. All three of them had done a wonderful job on Piper. The dress complemented Piper's figure, while the hair and makeup complemented her kaleidoscopic eyes.

Annabeth pulled Piper through the door, Hazel holding the dress trainer and Lacy following behind, checking her reflexion in a hand held mirror. Piper wasn't afraid of getting lost, not with Annabeth. Annabeth had figured out nearly every passageway and the way around the castle within her first day there.

Piper nervousness was at breaking point the whole way there. Seriously, it was just a wedding with the man of her dreams. What was the big deal?

The four of them hurried down the last stair case and approached the door, meeting Nemesis.

"Good, you're here! I thought Victoria was going to die from the time it took you," Nemesis said.

Annabeth shot a look at Lacy. "We would have been done a while ago, if someone hadn't started over five times."

"Okay, okay. Well get in the proper formation and order. I have to go tell them to start the wedding officially." Nemesis scurried off through a door to the side.

They went to go join all the other participants in the wedding, who were already in line. Piper went to the end with Hazel, who would be holding the trainer.

The doors opened, and one by one people started to trail through. Piper waited anxiously.

Hazel patted her shoulder. "It'll be okay, I promise. Don't worry." Hazel calmed.

Piper nodded, not able to speak. After an enduringly long wait, it was Piper's turn. The dramatic traditional music started to play, and Piper walked through the doors.

Though everybody's eyes were on Piper, the beautiful bride, Piper's eyes were staring at something else the whole way.

The man from her dream.
