Percy And His Grounder

Percy

Oh gods. Now what have I gotten myself into?

Look, I have a girlfriend.

And her name happens to be Annabeth Chase.

So what? So WHAT? Yeah, she's beautiful, and smart, and amazingly awesome.

And yeah, I'm gonna propose to her.

A couple of months ago, I admitted it to her that I loved her. And she told me she loved me too.

But the weird thing is, I was sixteen when we started dating. A week after my sixteenth birthday, I got a lifeguarding job. (Not hard, by the way.)

I exchanged the dollars for drachmas and bought a wedding ring for Annabeth on layaway two days after.

I know, I'm a total idiot. "Like that's a smart plan, Percy," you're probably telling me. "Sixteen!?"

"A wedding when you're eighteen, Percy?" You're probably asking me.
Well, we're eighteen, ADHD, and demigods. We can't wait too long.
Hey, do you think there's a lifetime 72-year guarantee for demigods? Of course not. We aren't made to order, people.

So here is the story. Enjoy, if you can sit through a story about two demigods and their really weird proposal and events after.
__________

It wasn't HUGE. In fact, it was small.
But the reason I had been secretly working my gods-forsaken butt off for three years to pay for the ring?
Well, I asked Hephaestus to set aside a payment plan for a wedding ring. He agreed with a, "Don't let her hold you down, boy," and a lot of steely glares.

After I had earned the cash, I gave him a drawing of what I wanted it to look like. He worked on it for three weeks, and charged me extra. Luckily, my father payed for the amount that I couldn't cover.
The ring is made of Celestial bronze and silver. On the surface, there's a little green-gemmed trident overlapping a little gray-gemmed owl. Rotating the ring, there's an engraving in Ancient Greek on the side. It reads, "Forever yours, wise girl" with a small green-and-gray heart.
So, yeah.

I looked at the ring. It perfectly symbolized who we were together.

A team. That's what we always would be.

Because I loved my wise girl with all of my washed-up, seaweed-covered heart.

There was the first chapter! (If you guys don't like it, just tell me and I'll stop. It does involve Heroes of Olympus, though, so it's not spam on this spot)

Thanks :)

Not good, not horrible, but awesome, spectacular, I luv it, keep it up

Thanks ^_^ I'll post again tomorrow :)

Ya obviously ! Lol post soon !

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

I like it :)

I'll be able to actually post in a couple hours :)
It probably won't be long, sorry :)

Yeah I noticed. I was like why does that ring sound familiar and then I thought of Percabeth!! Anyways it was a really good start. You always know what to write to make your writing actually sound like the charictor. Not a lot of people can do that.

Wow.. ^ shes right you have like a gift... Keep it up ill be looking forward to reading more ;)

You guys...

You are the awesome ones! I wouldn't keep writing if it weren't for you! :D

really cute. I like it

I'm gonna be posting in an hour!!! :)

Annabeth

I grabbed my bag and slung it over my shoulder. School was finally over for the weekend, and I was prepared to head back to camp for some extra training.

Not for me, of course. I was teaching a special "tutoring" (sword fighting, archery, you name it) class, you might call it. It's reserved for demigods ages 11-13, since that's generally when monsters started tracking you.

But that wasn't what I was looking forward to specifically. My car, an '06 Chevy, had a busted up engine that was being repaired, and Percy was driving the half-hour drive (in Paul's Prius) to camp with me.

So that's what I couldn't wait for.

I quickly scampered down the stairs and out the door, accidentally dropping my unzipped backpack--and all of its contents--onto the floor.

"Di immortales!" I cursed. I started picking the papers and books up, when someone else offered me my graded English test.

"Need a hand?" Percy grinned and hugged me.

I completely forgot about the papers. "You're early!" I threw my arms around his neck. "You said 4:30, it's only 4:00! I mean," I added, when he lifted his eyebrow, "not that I'm complaining. How did you get off school early?"

He chuckled. "Let's just say that the teacher won't expect me back for another week. Oh, and if someone named Mrs. Kirkwall asks you, I have a disease called inloveicitis."

I didn't care that we were in the middle of the hallway. I kissed him on the cheek as three of my female classmates glowered at me as they strolled past.

"So, how's school?" Percy inquired. "Is it torture, like it is for me?"

I laughed. "School's great. Only English class is bad--I've got a B in there."

He gasped. "NO! The great Annabeth Chase, getting a B!? Come on. I'm failing English."

I punched Percy in the arm. "Look, let's just go," I said, rolling my eyes at him.

It's short, and not too informative, but it's more of a connecting chapter to the next one.
Hope it's good! :)
@precious - XD I just might do something like that...

since that was when monsters started tracking you. Might wanna add an s to that to make it thats. Everything else is good :D

Pahg <lol that makes me laugh at first i actually thought it was a word
POST SOON OR I MIGHT DIE
not really but yeah
i will be sad

Thanks! :)

He gasped. "NO! The great Annabeth Chase, getting a B!? Come on. I'm failing English."

Now that was funny.

^ Thanks! XD Yeah, it just seemed like a thing Percy would say. :)

Absolutely LOVE it rapunzel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D
Glad you guys are so enthusiastic! :)

YAYAYAYAYAYYAY!!!!!! :D

We're on the second page!!!!! :D *celebrates*

Post ... ITs really nice !

^ I can't today, but I will tomorrow! :)

This is awesome!

what annabethc said! :)

I'm SO SO sorry!!!! ;'(((
I'm at my friend's house, so I'll post tomorrow :)

Hey really amazing stuff and I can't wait to see more! Seriously your a very talented writer rapunzeleah.

I'll be waiting day and night for new chapters! And you can ask if you want help on anything with the story.(O.K. I'm starting to sound like a stalker so I'm gonna go!)

^ Lol! You're not a stalker (I think XD).
That's a really good compliment :)

I think you got a really good idea that PJO fan will love.
But I can tell your not much of a writer. I'm not either and i am not trying to be mean.

Maybe you need to get out of your comfort zone and try to become the character. Find how the character thinks and feels.
It will be harder with one of RR characters then one of your own, but there will be more of a concection.

Also decribe every little detail of the settings. Truly create a place with words.

You got to work on it, but Really good! BRAVO!!!

No I'm pretty sure I'm not ahah.
Yeah no problem!

^ Thanks for the constructive criticism! ^_^ Yeah, usually I describe things to a minute detail, but I guess I missed it this time XD

Yeah sorry I'm not trying to just follow in Asmadasahater's shadow but try to think Percy or Annabeth would really do in a situation instead well you! I'm trying not to be mean just trying to offer help.

But hey I'm not even brave enough to start a fanfic so what do I know!

See, yeah, like I said, the last posts were just connecting chapters, so I was just trying to let you know what was happening, and didn't put as much effort into the characters. Guess I should, though :)

Pls pls pls post now !!!!!

^ Lol you guys!
I'm glad you like it so much, but I still can't post it now. It's not all the way finished, for one thing, and I'm still at my friend's house, (Spent the night) and I'll probably post at *checks watch* 6:30 central time, if that's okay :)

It's ok take your time. I'm sure the longer we wait the better they will get!

i'm back from the camping trip! :) omg!!!!!!!!!! your story is AWESOME!!!!!!

Im not sure what central time is.. what a fail. Its 5:16 where i am soo..

It's 5:30 here :)

Its 7:30 central time! :,( Just kidding, I know things happen and you can't post- I'm just really excited!

I'M. SO. FRICKIN. SORRY.
BLAME ME! It was my fault.
Okay, so I usually email it to myself, the chapter. But I forgot to.
But--and be prepared to hurl tomatoes at my face--I accidentally deleted it.
So I have to rewrite it, but I'll have it up tonight, I WILL NOT delete it anymore. :)
(Ring a bell, Forbidden readers? XD)

Haha, I forgive you. Maybe. ;) Just kidding, of course I do. I do things like that on a daily basis, so you're lucky. :-) I'm going out to eat, so I won't be on for a while. And no rush, quality not...quickness? lol

my friends always say to me when i accidentally delete a chapter i wrote, that you're most likely going to make a better one

Lol :) *relief* thanks!
