A Disney Scene
A Percabeth One-ShotAll my life, I've wished for a Disney scene - a picture perfect moment, where I got to be a princess and have my happily ever after. Being a demigod kinda got in the way of that.
When I was a little girl, I watched the Disney movies, the ones with the cliché plots and the fairy tale endings. I can't deny that I used to fantasise about being that princess, and finding my Prince Charming so that we could live happily ever after. I wanted to find true love and share the kiss that changed everything.
I didn't need a kiss to change everything though. The monsters did that. They started to appear everywhere. In my backyard, on the streets, in the park. My stepmom and dad blamed me for putting their family at risk, and no one believed me about the spiders that haunted my room at night. So I did the most logical thing that my seven year old brain came up with. I ran away.

I could defend myself well enough with my hammer and my logic but after a while, I started becoming tired. It was around then that Luke and Thalia found me.
They took me under their wing, taking me to a place called Camp Half Blood. Thalia sacrificed herself to save Luke and me and life only got worse from there. Luke became edgy, and then he went on that stupid quest. He became so angry all the time. Now I look back, I can't believe I thought he was my Prince Charming. I mean sure, he was charming, and there was no denying that he was handsome, it was just that I knew something was wrong. And I still fell for him.
Then Percy came to camp. Percy. Goofy, adorable, stupid Percy. My Seaweed Brain. He made everything change - again, but this time it was for the better. Thalia came back, and we won the war against Kronos. I also started dating Seaweed Brain. At the time, I thought our underwater kiss was my Disney scene. I should have known better than to wish upon a star, because my happiness was short lived. Percy disappeared, there was another war, and we went to Tartarus.
My fairy tale isn't one that you would use as a bedtime story. It's definitely not one you would want to be in. But I wouldn't change it for anything.
Because I'm finally getting my Disney scene.

I glanced at myself in the full length mirror that the Aphrodite cabin had lent me. I hardly dared to believe that the girl in the reflection was me. She just looked so... beautiful. Gorgeous. Radiant. And so unlike me.
I was wearing a full length lacy white dress that trailed at a good four feet behind me. The material was close fitting, from the short sleeves right down to my ankles. My feet had been slipped into a pair of white heels that exposed the top of my toes. Piper and Hazel had insisted on heels, but thank the gods the pair of shoes were only an inch off the ground. I had never quite mastered the art of walking in them.
The Aphrodite and Venus girls had done my make-up - some simple eyeliner and mascara, along with a dab of lipstick and a hint of blush. Their theory was to not make me look like someone else, but just to perfect the Annabeth Percy already knew. I liked that.
They adorned me with a simple charm necklace - the one Percy gave to me for our three year anniversary. It had a silver trident crossed with an olive branch. It was going to be our family crest, acknowledging our godly heritage. I loved it; just liked I loved everything from him.
The only other jewellery that I had was my engagement ring - a beautiful emerald inlaid in a silver band, surrounded by blue gems that looked like diamonds. To be honest I had no idea what they were. He never told me, but I was pretty sure they were diamonds. Trust Percy to make something that can't change colour blue. Only him.
