Disclaimer: I have many nicknames, but Rick Riordan is not one of them. So, for the most OBVIOUS reasons, I don't own PJO.

I was heading to Annabeth's cabin, with my hands behind my back. Why are my hands behind my back, well the reason is simple: I'm hiding a mistletoe. Shhhh, don't tell Annabeth. It's a surprise…a Christmas Surprise. Okay that was extremely corny…almost as bad as me talking to myself. 'Get a grip over yourself, Percy. Why are you getting nervous, it's just Annabeth? Of course she'll kiss you' I thought to myself. Unfortunately, it didn't help…Dang, how long was this walk from my cabin to hers.

"Hey Percy, watcha doing?" Nico asked, while popping out of nowhere. I noticed Nico had his hands behind his back like mine. Hmmmmm, I think I already know, but-

"What are you doing?" I said turning the tables onto him.

"I asked you first." He said. I wasn't expecting that. I nodded for him to continue, but he did the same thing. Ugh, this was getting us N-O-W-H-E-R-E!

"Nothing." We both said simultaneously. We both started walking backwards, so neither of us would see what was behind our backs. Then he walked backwards into a tree and shadow traveled away.

"Weird kid." I said, shaking my head. I started walking back when I heard a rustling in the tree Nico had shadow traveled in.

"Heard that." Nico said. "Say hi to Annabeth for me." He said. Even though I couldn't see him, I knew he was smirking.

"Same to Thalia." I said, grinning. Nico, then, fell out of the tree.

"I-I wasn't going t-to see T-Thalia." he stuttered pathetically. Then a mistletoe fell from the tree and landed perfectly on his head. It was a Kodak moment. "Can it." Nico said while pouting folding his arms.

"Dude…she's a hunter." I reminded him.

"I don't care." he said.

"Is that why Artemis hates you?" I asked him. It was true, they don't get along. Especially when pranks with the Stoll brothers go wrong and they both end up in a locked closet. Let's just say there was a LOT of yelling and screaming, and when we finally opened the door, Artemis was holding Nico to arrow-point… I have that saved as my screensaver at home. Now, THAT'S a Kodak moment!

"Yup." he said popping the 'p'.
I started walking to Annabeth's cabin again. I looked back and saw Nico heading to the Artemis Cabin. That boy was never going to give up, was he? I just hope Artemis's hunters were in a good mood today.

I (FINALLY) made it to Annabeth's cabin and knocked on the door. I was about to walk away and leave when Annabeth opened the door.

"Hey Percy, what's up?" She asked, scrunching her eyebrows in confusion. Then she noticed my hands behind my back. "Christmas is in TWO weeks. I think you're a little early, Seaweed Brain." she said, while stepping onto the porch and closing the door behind her. I pulled the mistletoe from behind me and held it over my head. She turned around, and smiled.

"Who put this here?" I said, feigning surprise.

"Is that what you came here for?" she asked. I nodded. "Well, it's a shame you wasted walking all this way." Annabeth said.

"Wait, so you're not gonna kiss me." I asked, surprised.

"No, not today, no." she said. Wow, she was confusing me.

"But you will in the future, right?" I asked, hopefully, thinking I found a loop hole in her plan. But she is a daughter of Athena. They never leave loop holes in there plans unless they want you to fall for them. Was this a trick? Gods, girls are confusing.

"Maybe," she said, smiling. I smiled, probably like an idiot. "But probably not." Annabeth said, thoughtfully, replacing her smile with a smirk.

"Really?" I asked.

"Mmmhmmm." She said. "But probably not." She said. Now, she was just not making any sense at all!

"That doesn't make any sense at all!" I exclaimed.

"Maybe it does." She said. "But probably not." She said. I could see it in her eyes how much she was enjoying this.

"C'mon, wanna go watch Nico strike out." I asked.

"With Thalia?" Annabeth asked. I nodded. "Definitely!" she yelled. And with that, we walked off of the Athena Cabin porch, and headed off to find Nico.
