A/N: Since the wedding scene is overused so much, I just added the last clip. Kind of short—but it is happy. And cheesy. I couldn't mention everyone who came ... well, I guess I can:

Sally, Tyson, Grover, Juniper, Paul Mrs. O'Leary, & Poseidon

Hades, Dionysus, Hestia, Hera, Apollo, Aphrodite & Ares

Artemis & the Hunters (some of them, including Thalia)

Jason, Piper, Annabeth, Reyna, Hazel, Frank, Leo, Calypso

Rachel, Ella, Small Bob (did he die? He didn't, right?)

Lou Ellen, Will, Cecil, Dakota, Clovis (who was sleeping), Austin, Kayla, Jake, Butch, Nyssa, Harley, Drew, Mitchell, Lacy, Katie

Chris & Clarisse

Cupid (lurking creepily in—he was the god of love, after all)

{Zeus, Hephaestus, Hecate, Iris, Nemesis, Thanatos, whatever other major/minor gods couldn't make it. The Stolls didn't arrive, and other demigods because I either forgot them or they are having their own life.}

VIII: EPILOGUE

Forever and Always (7 Years Later)

There were tears—happy tears, of course. Our friends and family were all here, watching as we made our vows.

This moment will never be forgotten. Ever. The skull ring I stubbornly refused to put off stayed, so the wedding band was added on top. It was two possessions from two people whom I loved.

I saw that my dad was crying, but it could be a trick of the light . . . he looked at me with such pride, though, and I gave a small nod at him.

Even some of the gods and goddesses attended, which was an amazing sight.

Artemis was with Thalia, Phoebe, and a few other Hunters. Aphrodite and Ares sat in the front row, although the War god seemed uncomfortable—weddings were not his thing. Hestia was beside Hera, both women having smiles (although one of them looked much sterner).

Dionysus could be heard, as he whispered, "It's finally time these two brats married."

Grover and Juniper were seated beside Tyson and Ella, which made me smile—I still remembered back in the labyrinth when the satyr was nervous around the Cyclops. Poseidon was with Sally and Paul, as they all looked lovingly at the union being made.

White lilies stood out from their flowerpots, as a reminder for Bianca. I wondered what she would say to me if she were here. I hoped she was happy in her new life.

Percy looked at me, that familiar smile drowning me in complete warmth, hope, and happiness. I was happy.

"You may kiss the, err, groom."

We kissed, me boldly making the first move. Percy chuckled, but didn't move away. As we kissed, I thought, perhaps out loud, that I love Perseus di Angelo with all my heart.

Forever and always. Maybe it was even longer than that.

Life Goes On...

* Chris and Clarisse are already married (six years back)

* Jason and Piper broke up, yet remained great friends (five months back)

* Percy and Nico got married, and moved to New York (current)

* Annabeth became an successful architect, and is a widow (one month later)

* Frank proposed to Hazel (finally) (three months later)

* Jason has a pet Siamese cat and named him Bob (twelve months later). Bob met Small Bob, and they made tiny Bobs (two years later—that is, if Small Bob was alive?)

* Will is a doctor, and is in no love relationship currently (one year later)

* Percy/Nico adopted a girl, and named her Bianca, as well as Clarisse is pregnant (the baby's name will be named Silena, if a girl—the boy may be Charlie, or masculine version of Silena) (two years later)

* Leo obviously doesn't die and with Calypso started a shop called 'Leo's and Calypso's Garage: Auto Repair and Mechanical Monsters' (three years later) ((It closed down ten years later from an accidental fire))

* Frazel wedding (four years later)

* A letter of apology that stated 'The Ruler of the Olympians could not attend your wedding, but please accept this wedding gift – Zeus' was finally delivered in the mail, coming with the wedding gift: a lightning-bolt shaped alarm clock (nine years later)

* Reyna died—many people went to her funeral (twelve years later)
