DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN PERCY JACKSON.
"Thalia, he's back." A young girl with a silver jacket whispered.
"Who's back?" The older black haired girl looked at the smaller one. The two girls were at the archery boards, casually practicing their aim, which was pointless since they always hit the target.
"Him." The girl said it like a diva would, placing her hands on her hips.
"I don't know who this 'him' is, I know so many 'him's'." Thalia explained.
"You know, Artemis' twin?" The girl gave Thalia a 'how could you not know?' look.
"Apollo?"
"Yeah, him! He's back!" The girl yelled, like it was the end of the world.
"Oh great." Thalia said sarcastically. "I wonder what he wants now."
Out in the distance, you could hear two people arguing, which was a common thing between the duo.
"What is it now Apollo?" The twelve year old girl exasperated.
"Sis, chill out! I just came to visit!" The Sun God smiled, teeth so bright you could go blind.
"That is what you always say! This is just a good time for you to flirt with my hunters!" Artemis screamed.
"Come on, can I at least see your lieutenant?" Apollo had a pleading look on his face. Artemis thought for a moment.
"Fine, you may talk to Thalia, but no other girls, okay?" Artemis demanded, giving her twin a glare.
"Yeah, you got it!" Apollo smiled once again, and headed out of the forest.
Apollo walked out of the forest to look at the scenery. Camp Half-Blood looked the same as always, there were the bounds of trees, the rows of cabins and many different activities taking place. He knew that Thalia was going to be at the archery station, she is a hunter of Artemis. He moved a tree branch over to see, and there she was, just as he predicted. He smirked at his own joke.
"Well hello Thalia!" He yelled happily as he came out from behind. "How are you?"
"We are good Lord Apollo. What are you doing here?" Thalia forced her face into a sweet smile.
"I just came to talk to you, that's all. Do you mind if she leaves?" Apollo pointed to the girl next to Thalia. The girl backed away slightly, while Thalia gave her a 'please don't leave' look. The girl gave a sad grimace in return as she turned to leave.
"What is it Apollo?" Thalia crossed her arms.
"Oh nothing Thalia, how about we catch up?" Apollo wiggled his eyebrows at her.
"How about not?" Thalia growled as she attempted to walk off.
"Come on, why leave me hangin'?" Apollo whined.
"Apollo, just go away! You are the most bothersome god I have ever met!" Thalia was furious at the smirking pit of sunshine in front of her.
"Here. I'll make you a deal. I'll leave, if you give me a kiss." The sun god drives a hard bargain.
"Fine, close your eyes and I'll give you a kiss." Thalia smiled as Apollo closed his eyes.
Later in the day, Apollo came up to Artemis to say his goodbyes.
"What happened to you?" Artemis suppressed the urge to laugh.
"Don't ask." Apollo replied as he rubbed his sore black eye.
