Summary – o1 – Getting lost in the garden was sort of a good idea.
Pairings – Apollo/Thalia.
Notes – Drabble collection! Booyah!

Thalia sighed as she trudged through the main temple,frowning at the satyrs that eyed her warily as if she was going to mess up their little haven. Behind her,making even more noise than she was,Percy and Annabeth rattled on and on to each other,exchanging sickeningly sweet confessions and whispers. All she wanted right now was some peace and quiet.

And maybe to vomit. Since if she heard one more 'I could just drown in your eyes',she was going to toss her lunch up.

"I'm going to go..."she grumbled and took off down the hallway,not really caring where she was going. Ever since she had quit the Hunters,everything people did angered her and she still had the mindset of a Huntress. "Damn mom..."

A few days ago,Jason and her had the bright idea of going to their old home and to try and see if it would trigger his memory. But of course,something had to go wrong and they had discovered a letter she wrote to them,still sealed in an envelope. It was an apology saying that when they had left,everything spiraled downwards she didn't know what to do. She was going insane and had started seeing them in every little thing that she did. All she wanted though, if they ever came back and found this letter,was to live their lives the way she never could.

"Not going to cry. Not going to cry!"Thalia blinked quickly,trying to force back tears before noticing where she was. Lost in her thoughts,she had wandered into a garden and was surrounded by the most beautiful flowers she had ever seen. Even though she could hardly name any of them (She was a daughter of Zeus,not Demeter.),she stared at them in awe. In her entire life,she never had time to stop and smell the roses so it was rather strange and relaxing to just look at them at her leisure.

"They're beautiful. Just not as much as you,"a sultry,low voice whispered and Thalia whirled around,her eyes wide and her arm reaching for a bow that wasn't there. In front of her, smirking in a way that made most girls swoon, was Apollo, his eyes twinkling with mirth.

"Apollo,"she said stiffly,glaring at him before realizing that Artemis couldn't protect her anymore if she angered him. "Lord Apollo,"she fixed,sounding like it hurt to sound respectful. The Sun God regarded her,tilting his head to the side and just looking at her. "Stop staring!"

"Are you alright?"he asked,uncharacteristically serious and Thalia blinked,wondering why he was asking.

"Yeah, why?"

"No reason...but I can always help make you go from alright to ecstatic."he waggled his eyebrows and she rolled her eyes. This was the Apollo she was more comfortable with. The 'flirty, playboy, arrogant' Apollo,not the one that had just reared its unexpected head earlier.

"No thanks. I'd rather not,"she scoffed and turned away,heading deeper into the garden. Thalia was really hoping he would walk away and was disappointed when she heard his footsteps following her. God or no god,she didn't want to have to entertain him.

'Wait,no. BAD THOUGHTS. BAD THOUGHTS.'she rapidly shook her head,trying to get rid of the ideas that came with 'entertain'. Behind her,Apollo laughed innocently (Not really. Nothing he did was innocent) and Thalia half-wondered if he could read her thoughts and knew what she had just been thinking about.

"Heard you quit the Hunters? Any reason why?"he suddenly asked and she flinched,not wanting to think about it anymore than she had to. Apollo stared at her for a few minutes before shrugging. "I won't tell anyone."

"I'm not going to sit down and tell you my life story if thats what you're asking,"Thalia snapped,glaring at him and crossing her arms. He smiled as if it didn't affect him.

"Not asking for that long,boring story,"Apollo mocked,his smile turning sly as she opened her mouth to retort. "Just wanna know the part where you pissed off my baby sis." Suddenly filled with rage that she relished in,Thalia pointed a finger at his face,looking ready to tackle him and try to rip out his throat.

"I'll have you know she approved of my decision! And I'm not telling you anything!"she hotly yelled,her eyes flashing and the air around her crackled with electricity. Apollo simply smiled.

"Tell me when you're not sad anymore."he waved before turning around and disappearing around the corner. Thalia blinked. What just happened? Did Apollo - the God of the Sun, major flirt, was hell-bent on making her miserable during her time with the Hunters – just purposely try to get her mad since he noticed she was moping around in self-pity?

'Thats it,no more staying up after midnight!'

Notes – That sort of crashed and burned on me...Alright,so I decided I'm going to make a Thalia/Apollo oneshot/drabble collection where I can dump ideas when I'm bored and such. And the whole Percy and Annabeth saying cheesy things to each other was me mocking some of the Percabeth fics P:
(Also,note that the updates depend on whats going on in my life and if I've actually written anything. Kaythxbai.)
