Mortals: Meet...

Percabeth - Ella Waldorf

"C'mon, Perce!!! You can do it!!!" I yelled to my swimming partner, the Olympic medallist, Perseus 'Percy' Jackson. He was perfect for the job, since he'd won several times in the Olympics, besides every single swimming competition ever held and raced by him. Besides, he was too perfect to ignore. He has a tan-almost-bronze skin, define muscles, perfect hight and flawless face features that include a tameless-yet-sexy black jet hair, structure bone jaw, a killing smile and the most adorable and deep sea-green eyes in the world...

OK, I'm rambling. I should probably introduce myself. Eleanor 'Ella' Waldorf (no connection whatsoever with the Gossip Girl character, Blair Waldorf), three times winner of the Winter Olympic in female swimming category and, I hope really soon, Percy Jackson's girlfriend. You'd had noticed by now that I'm head over heels for the guy. I can't help it!! He's perfect!!

"I'd be better if you hit the water, Ella" he argued with me, playfully. I smiled back at him. We've been playing the 'hard-to-get' game of flirting for over two years, and the dumbass hasn't asked me out yet!!

"You know I can't... Doctor's orders" I explained, showing him my bandaged wrist. He rolled his eyes and got out of the water. I couldn't help but to look at him. I started to day dream about us, when I hear a snap.

"Hey, Ella! You OK?" I found Percy snapping his fingers at me. I shook my head and smiled at him.

"Sorry, I was, um... thinking" I admitted, not so convinced. He frowned, but shrugs seconds later "So... What was so important that I had to come to the pool on a Sunday at... 10am?" I asked him, trying to be mad. He smiled at me. God, can't he be more perfect?!

"I wanted to give you this" he admitted, handing me a huge envelope. I opened it, curious. And what was written in it, left me breathless:

You're cordially invited to the holy union in marriage of:

Perseus James Jackson & Annabeth Minerva Chase

Next August 17th in The Empire State, New York

Dress code requested: greek style for women

"Married?! You're getting married?!?" I couldn't help but scream at him. He never mentioned anyone in his life and all of the sudden he has a fiancée?!

"Yeah, that's kind of the reaction everyone gave me..." he said, rubbing his neck. Everyone... So, I wasn't the only one... "Look, I know people don't usually get married at 22, but..." What?! He was 22?! "...I want you to be there... It's gonna be small, just family and friends..." he kept saying, but I wasn't listening very much. I just nodded, hoping my tears wouldn't go out "Great! Then, I'll see you then!" And with that, he left, leaving me alone in my new found misery.

~oOo~

When Percy meant 'small', he meant 'bigger than a house', cause right now, I'm in a room filled with, at least 50 people. All of the women were wearing greek style dresses, while the men were wearing suits. I was wearing a deep red greek dress myself. Looking around, I recognized no one, but everyone recognized me. Apparently, Percy had been talking so much about me. Frankly, I only came tonight to stop the man I love to make a mistake. Suddenly, everyone was getting in position, while Percy walked in with his best men: five boys (one more handsome than the next one) were placing next to the pri- no, jud- no. A woman with a not-a-friendly face was standing in the middle and kind of glaring at Percy, who wasn't paying attention. The music started to play and five girls (the bridesmaids) dressed in sleeveless blue-greyish greek dresses and holding small bouquets of white roses each walked as a parade. Then, two little kids (a boy and a girl) walked down as the flower girl and the ring holder. Lastly, the person I was so desperately waiting to crushed her dreams tonight: the bride. She was wearing a white sleeveless greek style dress. Her blonde hair was curled and away from her face, which had little to none existent make up. She was wearing a diamond headband. She was holding a big bouquet of white roses and she was walking down the aisle with her father. She was beautiful and that only fueled my anger. Percy just smiled, extremely happy. When the girl reached him, she let go of her father, who kissed in the cheeks and joined Percy in front of the woman.
