"January through December

Do you want to be a member?

Lonely hearts club

Do you want to be with somebody like me?

Oh!"

Nico pressed his ear up against the door harder. What on earth? He had come to ask Thalia to shock Percy for being himself, not to hear her sing in the shower! He waited for the noise of water to shut off, his ear still against the door so he could hear it and not get smited by Lady Artemis if Thalia found him creeping in her room.

"Did you call me?" Who was that? He couldn't quite place the voice.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! APOLLO DAMN YOU! I'M IN THE SHOWER!"

" You called me."

"HOW?"

"You sang."

"Go annoy Phoebe or something. She's not naked and desperately clinging to a towel."

"I don't see why you bother. I can see through it if I want."

"OUT!"

Apollo came stumbling out, and,seeing Nico, winked.

"Ah, you're waiting for the fair maiden? Drawn by her lovely voice?"

"Actually, Lord Apollo, no, I was going to ask for help on-"

"It's alright. Your secret's safe with me."

Damned sewn into Hades' gym shorts, this was a problem. No secret is safe with Apollo.

Nico heard the shower turn off.

"No offence, Lord Apollo, but I gotta go..."

He burst into the cabin, and heard Apollo sing quite loudly:

"Got a secret,

Can you keep it?

Swear this one you'll save?"

Shit.

"Thaliaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Help! We have a problem!"

Thalia burst out, still clinging to the towel with dripping hair and clutching her bow and holding her bracelet. Upon seeing Nico, she relaxed. She was used to him overreacting.

"WHAT?"

"Lord Apollo is going to band together with Lady Aphrodite to try and get us together!"

"How did he get this notion?" Her voice was dangerous.

"I was waiting outside for you because I needed a favor and Lord Apollo came out and totally went crazy on his explaination on why I was here!"

"Oh lord."

Apollo and Aphrodite were conversing.

"My lady! I have a relationship suggestion! All you need to do is make the girl like the guy back!"

"Who is it?"

"Nico and Thalia."

"Perfect. We'll call it Thalico." She grinned, and if anyone had seen it, they would have described it as pure evil.
