Before I receive scathing looks and such, THERE'S A GOOD REASON THAT I HAVEN'T UPDATED SINCE SCHOOL STARTED!

Reasons that you will probably fall asleep reading. This is another ship week one-shot and the week is almost over and I had to get this on here. I recently got a purtyful writing journal from Barnes and Noble. Speaking of which, they have a MOA release poster up already.

For those of you who have been living under a rock (no offense), check Rick Riordan's blog. New character art alert!

Also, for fellow HecateA fans, she has a tumblr! Oh, and greeksvsromans website has been updated.

And for Swifties:

WHO'S FREAKING OUT OVER THE COMING RELEASE OF "RED"? sHE'S PERFORMING A NEW SINGLE CALLED "RONAN" ON STAND UP FOR CANCER! It's going to be a heartbreaking song.

Check the bottom of this fic for PJO Ship Weeks details!

By the way, it's easier to understand this fic if you've read the Demigod Diaries, but it's not necessary...

Disclaimer: Now that Thuke is officially somewhat canon, I can't even own that. Rick owns all.


I was still writing in the diary when Thalia woke up. I closed it with a snap. Thalia was one person that didn't need to know my innermost thoughts.

She plopped down beside me. "I guess that you're writing something super secret that I'm not allowed to see."

I smirked. "I'm so glad that I ran away with a smart girl."

"Two, as of yesterday."

We both looked over at Annabeth, who was still sleeping. Her loose blond curls were scattered over her face. I had to say that Annabeth was the smartest seven year-old that I'd ever met. The only downside of taking her in was that Thalia and I couldn't cuss like sailors when monsters found us. Bummer, right?

"Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"You ever think about what Hal said? About your betrayal and my sacrifice?"

"It's hard not to."

We looked up and our eyes met for a second, before she dropped her gaze. Her irises reflected the pine forest around us.

"It's better for us not to think about the future, Luke." she said.

Thalia looked up at me, and I realized how close we were. And I also realized that I didn't mind. At all.

"Just live in the moment." Thalia whispered.

And honestly, I could've lived in that moment forever.
