Hey gothkitty88 here with a second Thalico! I love Thalico, but there aren't even 2 pages of it! :( I got mad, so I decided to take action! Fluffy, cute, and slight humor. Enjoy! ( PS, Percy and Annabeth are 22, and Thalia and Nico are 17.)
I looked at Annabeth and Percy holding hands on the beach, and I smiled. They were a cute couple. But I felt depressed – seeing how happy they were made me feel lonely. I mean, I couldn't call it nostalgia unless I was talking about Luke, and I'm over him. I think about talking to Annabeth, but I don't see how she would understand, with her being in love with Percy so long. I thought about if I were there with a guy who could make me laugh, who would make me smile when I was down. Like now. In a sudden burst of Aphrodite-like emotion, I burst into tears and sprinted towards my cabin. I got my guitar, dried my tears, and sat outside playing chords and occasionally Green Day.
Nico came by cabin. He grinned and said, "What's up?"
I wanted so much to tell him to get lost. "Nothing. Why do you look so happy?"
"I scared Annabeth and Percy when I shadow traveled next to them. I got behind them, and they were so busy sighing and being in love they didn't even notice me. I conjured up a chainsaw and a mask (don't ask how, I just did it) and went all psycho on them. The look on their faces was priceless!" He was laughing so hard, and I joined in when he showed me their faces. They looked like frightened squirrels.
He walked off, calling, "I'll see you later, but right now I have to see the Stolls to see how much money I can make with this!" I smiled. Nico. Why do I have such a weird feeling right now? I thought back to when Artemis gave me the boot.
Flashback
One of the new Hunters told me that Lady Artemis wanted to see me. I smiled. "Thanks." She nodded, then looked at me with a sad look on her face. I wondered what her problem was.
I got dressed, then went to Artemis's tent. "You wanted to see me, my lady?"
"Yes." It was weird. She got the same look on her face that the new Hunter got.
"Thalia." She sighed. "This is hard for me to say, but, Thalia, I'm going to have to let you go."
I was crushed. My eyes were forming tears. "But why, Lady? Have I done anything disrespectful or something to dishonor you?"
She sighed again. "You will soon find out. I cannot say why, forbidden by a certain you will know in time, Thalia. You are the lieutenant that cannot be stopped and I admire you and adore you. This is hard for me too, ….
Present Day
I shook the thought from my head. Maybe a walk would do me good.
