If Percy Jackson said 'yes'

The Surprise

It felt like only a few seconds, though I know better than to believe it was, before we left the atmospherically dark room.  Aphrodite had come to get us with Artemis.  She still looked like she wanted to shoot someone.
   "There's something you two might want to hear."  Artemis announced because Aphrodite was too bust squealing and giggling.  She looked like she should be in the form of a three year old.  I gave Annabeth a suspicious look and we followed the goddesses out to the main hall.  Everyone was there, like they'd had a meeting without me.  And they all looked uncomfortable being so much smaller than their seats and standing in a semi-circle in the center of the room.  Poseidon was looking very ADHD today.
   Aphrodite stepped into the middle of the circle, looking like she'd just brought Helen and Paris back to life.  She clapped her hands and faced me and Annabeth.
   "Well, I brought it up that you have loved Annabeth here for longer than any god has loved and mortal.  It would be a shame to let one half of true love die, so I suggested that we make you mortal so you BOTH die."  She said cheerfully.  I stared at her in disbelief, and she continued, "But sadly Poseidon threatened me so I discarded that idea."  I shot my father a thankful look, and he twirled a finger around his temple and tilted his head towards Aphrodite.  I smiled.  "After some discussion, we came to the conclusion that it would be easier to make Annabeth immortal!"
