Okay this is my first attempt at a Percy Jackson fanfic. It's centered around Nico and Thalia, but invovles a small amount of Percabeth. The only reason I'm writing this is because the author of a story titled: Of Death and Roses; inspired me.

Annebeth's P.O.V.

It was a sunny day, there was a tad bit of cloud cover. IT created a beautiful day, a warm 70 degrees. It was the day everything went wrong.

Me and Percy were taking a walk along the lake shore when my phone rang.
"Hello?" I asked, answering it.
"Hey Annebeth, it's me, Thalia."
"Oh, hey Thalia, what's up?"
"Well I had a plan to crash this prom a school's having near our campsite; and I thought it would be a good idea because I could show he girls how useless they are. Not to mention stupid."
"Why do you need me?" I asked.
"Because we need some idiots or we won't get in."
"How many?"
"If you come, two, if not one."
"Well, a prom seems fun, so," I stopped a moment to think, literally a moment.
"Okay, so me, Percy, and Nico will come."
"Great, meet us at Albany High School," Thalia finished and hung up. (A/N I'm not sure if that's the name, I looked it up but it didn't give specifics)

Percy looked at me odd, "What's this about a Prom?". I looked at Percy, he may be hot, but he sure was thick sometimes. Before I could tell him that the dinner bell rang.
"Come on," I told him, and I began to drag him towards the pavilion, "I'll explain on the way."

Nico's P.O.V.

"What!" I yelled a the couple in my doorway. It was after dinner, and I decided to quit the campfire and come relax in my cabin, when someone began pounding on my door. Apparently I'm not the only one to skip campfire.
"You're coming with us, Thalia needs our help, and we don't bail on our friends."
"Yeah, I know that, but Prom? Really?"
"Yes really, now come on, and grab a change of clothes. Thalia didn't say how long we were doing this," she added, eying Nico's expression.

"Wow, Zeus's credit card can get you some valuable things," Percy said, looking at the huge hotel in front of us.
"It could've been Artemis," Annabeth pointed out.
"I suppose we should go check in," I offered, I may be the son of Hades, but that doesn't mean I like the cold as much as my Father.
Realizing my intentions Annabeth agreed, so me, Percy, and Annabeth walked in, to be tackled by a hug.

"Someone get her off of me!" Percy pleaded, but me and Annabeth were to busy laughing, until we had the breath thrown from our lungs as well.
"It's good to see you guys!" Thalia said, a smile plastered across her face, but as always the other Hunters kept their distance from me and Percy; yet they accepted a hug from Annabeth, who stuck her tongue out at us.

Thalia's P.O.V.

Don't get me wrong, I was glad to see everyone, for crying out loud we haven't seen each other in person for two years; but I only had eyes for Nico, he was now about the same age as me, and he looked hot in his Green Day T-shirt, his long silky hair. Where the hell did I get that, stupid hormones.

"Thalia!" Annabeth called, snapping me out of my daze.
"Yeah"
"What's the plan?" she asked.
"Come on, I'll explain in the rooms."

I showed them their rooms and briefed Annabeth.
"Okay here's what we're going to do; it's" I stopped and peeked at the clock, "It's 6:00 right now, and we need to be ready and at the school by 9:00"
"So, we should start getting ready?" she asked.
"Yes," I pulled out two tuxes and a dress, "Take these to the boys, and take this to change into," I told her, handing her the dress and outfits for the boys; then turned and went into my room to get ready.

Thalia's P.O.V, 3 hours later...

It was finally time to crash a Prom; we all met down stairs in the lobby, but Nico was late. We were all pretty annoyed, yet no one was to surprised, he wasn't the fastest person ever; we started towards the door when I heard someone running. I twisted around, reflexes as fast as ever, it was just Nico, I let out a small gasp. Even though I had seen the outfit already he still looked amazing; the silk shirt, black as night, fit him perfectly, the dress pants the same shade of black fit just as well, and his silky hair reflected the lights towards me, making him look like an angel coming to rescue her. She stopped. Okay now I know something is up, I've known him for 4 years, and I've never felt this way. She silently cursed Aphrodite, knowing it was it was her fault.
"Good I didn't miss you," he said, his face full of relief, "I thought I was going to have to get a cab."
I was only then that the others noticed him.

"Oh, there you are Nico, I thought we would have to leave you," Percy said, but his face said otherwise; there was a smirk that said Sucker on it.

Thank the gods Artemis agreed with my plans, otherwise we would have a lot of walking to do; Percy and Annabeth were the only ones with licenses, but only Annabeth had a car, and it wasn't big enough for the rest of the Hunters and Nico, so Artemis lent us a bus, like a handicap bus.

It was a big school, not surprising since there was over 1200 kids; perfect for a couple of Prom crashers. Although I think Annabeth agreed because she and Percy could go to a Prom.
"Okay girls, and guys; we will be here until it stops, or sooner. It depends on how dangerous it is," I reminded, a grin on my face.
"Wait!' Nico said, stopping me on the front step of the school, "Who's going with who?"
"I thought it was obvious." I told him. He looked around and blushed.
