`It was a chilly August day. Scratch that, it was a freaking arctic August day at camp Half-blood. Which is why I felt like an idiot sitting blindfolded and shirtless at a table on the beach.

`Don't worry, you're not the only one who's confused. A flashback would probably be helpful.

`"Alright Bethy, truth or dare?" I said, my voice muffled by the rubber chicken I was dared to wear on my head. Annabeth pondered for a moment, but we all knew what she was going to

`choose.

`"Truth." See? Told you.

` " Um, what haven't I asked you yet...Oh, yeah! Do you have a crush on Percy? Truthfully, or I'll do it again." When Thalia meant to it again, she meant a series of violent actions too gruesome for

`a children's book. Anny cringed. and threw a pillow at Thalia.

`"Um...y-y-yeah. A little." And she stared at me. It was kinda awkweird (awkward+weird), like she expected me to say I like her back or something. I cleared my throat and turned to Thalia.

`"Tay-Tay, truth or dare?" She let out a little sigh of relief and said,

`"Dare." I grinned as a great idea hit me and took the rubber chicken off of my head.

`"I dare you to...GOOUTWITHTYSON!" Sorry, didn't mean to shout. Thalia gave me a confuzzled (confused+puzzled, but you already knew that) glance, and threw a pillow at my head once she

`deciphered what I said.

`"Why you little...Gods, you're such a boy!" She shouted as if it was the worst insult she could think of, which it probably was to her, being an Artemis hunter and all. Then Thalia gave me an evil

`smile and said, " Your turn Percy. .Dare?" I gulped.

`"Um, truth please." I (wish I could say I didn't but I did) whimpered. She shook her head and clicked her tongue.

`"Dare it is. I dare you to go on a blind date."

`"Do I know her?"

`"Probably."

`"Then how is it a blind date?"

`"You'll see, or actually you won't. You'll be blindfolded."

`"Well, what if I don't want to?"

`"Then that's tough nuggets for you."

And that's how I ended up almost getting hypothermia and mentally cursing out Thalia. But then I heard a timid clearly female voice.

"Hey."
