Percy's POV

As he was trying to tame his hair, Percy felt more and more anxious. What if he makes a fool of himself while dancing? What if Annabeth doesn't like the way he looks? What if she agrees to dance with someone else? He touched his cheek where she slapped him two weeks ago. He smiled, she tended to overreact sometimes. He hoped she'll have a good time with him that night.

As for how he looked, he was pleased. His mom took him shopping last week and they found a perfect suit. It was plain black, with a white shirt underneath and a black tie. His shoes were also black. He didn't feel very comfortable in it, but he never felt comfortable in anything but his usual gig. He gave up on his hair and ruffled it so it at least doesn't look too messy. He sighed hoping he'd remember how to dance. His mom gave him a brief lesson after they got the suit. He also wanted to surprise Annabeth by showing up in a car. He took the test and passed, on the first try, surprisingly. Paul and Sally bought a new one a few weeks ago, after Sally's book became a success. He went out and Sally surprised him by taking a photo.

"Mom!"

"Oh relax Percy", she waved her hand, "You were never someone who went to these, I have to take some photos."

He sighed as she took another one. After he asked for the car keys, he headed out. Driving a car wasn't as exciting as driving a bike, but he could manage it. He pulled over on Annabeth's porch and got out after a sigh. You got this Perce, he cheered himself. He rang the bell and after a few minutes ms. Chase opened the door.

"Percy!" she greeted him with a smile. He returned it.

"Hello ms. Chase. Is Annabeth ready?"

"Yes, come in. She'll be down in a few", he entered the house and she closed the door behind him. She gestured for him to wait in the living room. Mr. Chase was there. He smiled at him.

"Percy!"

"Mr. Chase", he shook his hand. Annabeth's brothers, Bobby and Matthew ran in. How do they have the energy to run all day?

" Percy, Percy!" they jumped all around him. He said hi before ms. Chase told them to go to their room. Percy sat down on one of the bar stools, waiting for Annabeth. He heard footsteps and got up straight.

When Annabeth came in, his jaw dropped. She looked amazing. No, amazing didn't cover it. More like mesmerizing. She had a knee length, navy blue dress with only one shoulder strap. Her hair was pulled up in a stylish lose bun on the back of her head. She had simple navy blue heels, a little light make-up, and matching gold bracelet and necklace. Her laugh pulled him back.

"You-you look amazing", he managed. She blushed and so did he. Mr. Chase patted him on the back.

" Pull yourself together Percy or you're both going to be late", he joked. Percy blushed even harder and took Annabeth's hand under his. Her parents didn't give him a curfew so they could do what they wanted. Annabeth grabbed her purse and they went out. He opened the car door for her and she entered. He circled around and went in. They sat for a few moments.

"You really look great", he said, giving her heart eyes.

" Thanks", she chuckled, "You do too."

"Oh I hate this", he joked, " But I can't go there in a leather jacket with you looking like an Angel, Wise Girl."

"Oh god. Remember when you used to call me that, Seaweed Brain?"

"Oh, I sure do", he said starting the car. They drove for a few minutes in silence. When they got there, he opened the door for her again.

" I didn't know you're such a gentleman, Seaweed Brain", she laughed when he helped her out.

"Ha-ha, very funny."

They entered the hall where the whole school was. Everyone was looking at them. They found their friends. Everyone looked good, but no girl was near Annabeth's level. The girls complimented her and he laughed at Nico a little. He thought Nico looked stupid in that suit. He was so small, so it was funny, on which Thalia agreed. They got called inside. They were told to line up in pairs. Percy and Annabeth were between Hazel and Frank and Thalia and David. They entered and Percy found a table for Annabeth and himself. Jason and Piper joined them. They just talked for a little while. Then the music started playing. It wasn't exactly Percy's taste, but he was told that's what you dance to.

"Wanna dance?" he asked Annabeth offering his hand.

"Sure", she took it and they joined the others dancing. He heard Piper mutter to Jason something like Why can't you be like him? which made Percy smirk. Annabeth put her hands around Percy's neck and he his around her waist. They moved in synchronization, looking at each other in the eyes. She was beautiful. He told her that.

"Listen, I know we haven't been dating for that long, but I want you to know I love you", he blushed at his own words.

" I love you too, Seaweed Brain", she kissed him. At that moment Percy couldn't be any happier. He started that year as the usual bad boy of the school, not caring about anything, and now he was looking at the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. He loved and cared for someone. He somehow knew that she was his other, much better half.

The end

So that's it, folks! I hope you liked it. I decided to give up on an epilogue. But you needn't worry, the new story should be here this week, so stay tuned! See ya :)
