Percy walked through the Plaza, which had been built almost immediately after the joining of the Camps and the forming Camp Half-Jupiter (they were still working on the name.) He walked about twenty feet before he saw who he was looking for.
"Piper!" He said, and waved at her. "Can I talk to you for a sec?"
Piper stared to walk towards him. "What is it?"
"I need your advice, but we can't talk here, too many wandering...ears."
"Percy, what's going on?" Piper gave him a questioning look.
"I'll tell you when we find someplace to talk. I don't want Annabeth to hear what I'm about to tell you."
"Oooooohhhhh! So it's THAT kind of advice." She gestured for him to follow her, "C'mon, I know just where to go." Percy followed her until they arrived at the destination.
"So," Piper said, "What advice do you seek from the Daughter of Love today?" She laughed at her own witty comment, but Percy was obviously thinking about something else, he paced the room and was running his fingers through his hair.
"Umm," Percy stopped and blushed slightly, "I want to propose to Annabeth."
Piper's eyes suddenly widened with delight and she started reacting much like a fan-girl would in this sort of situation, but with a special Aphrodite flair. Shes immediately started half screaming with delight, half speaking at a thousand miles a minute.
"OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH, THISISSOEXITINGTHISISSOEXITING! ICAN'TBELIEVETHATYOU'REGONNAPROPOSE! OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH!
Percy rubber the back of his neck, suddenly bashful. He was blushing brighter than ever now. "The only problem is, I have no idea how to do it."
Piper suddenly stopped. She looked at Percy with a shocked expression on her face.
"You? YOU of people need advice on how to propose?! Dude, I swear, you are the master of all things romance."
"Yeah, but proposing is a whole different ball game, we're talking about the rest of our LIVES!"
"Touche. I may not be the best at giving advice though, I could call on my moth-"
"NO!" Percy interrupted, "ANYTHING but your mother!"
"Thank you." Piper sighed in relief.
"We still have a dilemma on our hands though." He suddenly started knocking on her head, probably trying to give her ideas, "THINK PIPER, THINK! THERE MUST BE SOMETHING IN THAT APHRODITE BRAIN OF YOURS!"
She smacked his hands away, "WILL YOU QUIT IT!? I'm trying to think, and you AREN'T helping!'
"Sorry" He put his hands by his sides again.
Piper thought for a moment, then snapped her fingers. "I got it! Percy, tell me your favorite, happiest moments with Annabeth."
Percy started to tick off the moments on his fingers when he said them, "Well, our first kiss, in the Laberyinth, Our first 'official' kiss, the whole camp came to see it, I swear. Our Underwater kiss that night. That moment in Rome, at the Cafe, Seeing her for the first time. Seeing her for the first time after I disappeared, Sight seeing in New Rome. That moment when she Judo-flipped me, when I saw that she was safe with the Athena Parthenos..."
" Well, those are all very sweet. but, Percy, it sounds like every moment is your favorite."
"Who said it wasn't"
"You know Percy, you really are adorable, If we were in a book, I'm sure that you would have enough as many fangirls as there are people in the U.S. Okay, just tell Annabeth what you just told me, you'll be fine, plus you and I both know that Annabeth is head-over-heels for you, there is no way on Earth that she would turn you down."
