Prologue

It was finally over. The hurt. To celebrate the victory of the 7, the Olympians organized a week long celebration. The 7 were invited as guests of honor to the final grand party. Sally and Paul were also invited( due to the bending of some rules.)

Annabeth's POV

Hazel , Piper, and Calypso crowded around me, giggling hysterically. Piper even shed a tear or two. "My little girl has finally grown up!"Piper paused dramatically. " She's even donned a dress!"I smacked Piper's arm playfully."As I'll remind you, you're the one who forced,ah, convinced me to wear this dress!""But you look absolutely stunning!"Hazel argued. "That dress even fits your curves perfectly!"Calypso looked at Annabeth slyly." I bet Percy won't be able to take his eyes of you!" I blushed, staring at the floor.

"Can't we focus on you guys instead!"I pleaded."Oh, but Annabeth dear, since you have the most immature boyfriend ever, isn't it obvious that we would have to pay attention to you!"Piper slid down on the pillow next to me. "Listen, you and Percy have to havethe best night possible,okay? And besides, hanging out in your room, having girl time and doing girly things with you guys is the most fun I've had in a long, long while. Remember the Argo II and the trials we had to endure sharing a boat with boys together? I like to think you haven't forgotten it so quickly!"I nodded.

" Now, who's ready for makeup and jewellery?"Piper squealed enthusiastically. Hazel, Calypso and I all groaned. But maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all.
