AN: so this is a little before the Titan war (couple months). Juliet and Silena girl talk! Going to be boring and slightly mushy. Only slightly. I hate mush.

STORYTIME!


Juliet Darkheart was leaning against Thalia's Pine, absently petting Peleus on the head. She was thinking about her friends from the barricades. They were all dead, of course. But her visit was coming up soon, and she couldn't wait to see them all, especially Gav. Behind her, someone cleared their throat.

"Mind if I sit with you?" Silena Beauregard asked. Juliet nodded, and the child of Aphrodite gracefully sat beside her.

"Is it true?" Silena asked.

"What?"

"You can see the future."

Juliet hesitated. "Well… that's a yes and a no. I'm not an oracle, but I can see people's fates. It's not like little glimpses of the past or future either. With a look, I can know everything about you. Your entire life flashes in front of my eyes, right up to the moment when you die."

Silena looked uneasy. "Did you look at my fate?" Juliet shook her head.

"I don't use my grandmother's powers unless it's necessary. But, sometimes, accidents happen…"

She trailed off as her eyes grew sad.

Silena decided to change the subject. "What about the other rumors? That you've been alive forever? Are they true?"

Juliet smiled slightly. "No, I've only been alive since 1821. That's pretty close to the truth of my situation, though." She stopped when she noticed Silena gaping at her. "What?" Juliet asked innocently.

"Um… exactly how many of the crazy rumors about you are true?"

Juliet shrugged. "Well, yes, I am immortal, I am cursed, I'm dead, and I do have a boyfriend. Anything else?"

Silena was no longer interested in Juliet's powers, mostly because of the last statement.

"WHAT! You have a boyfriend?! How did the Aphrodite cabin not know of this?!"

"Uh… well, Drew did."

"Why Drew?"

"She overheard me talking about him and asked if he was cute and if she could meet him. I may or may not have pointed a loaded pistol at her."

Silena laughed lightly. "So, can I meet him? What's his name?"

Juliet smiled softly, with a faraway look in her eyes. "His name is Gavroche, or Gav, he's nineteen, and…," Juliet frowned, seemingly snapping back to reality,"he's dead." She said flatly.

Silena looked at her sympathetically. "When did he die?"

"Eight years after I did. Actually, I'm supposed to visit him soon."

"What do you mean, 'visit'? Can't you just hang out with him, I mean, you ARE a death kid."

Juliet raised her eyebrows. "Death kid? Well, at least I know where I stand in this place. This is why I don't stay for more than a week."

Silena smiled sheepishly. "Sorry. But really, what did you mean?"

Juliet sighed. "Well, you heard how Zeus didn't want me to be recognized by anyone who knew me?" Silena nodded. "Well, Zeus, being the prissy drama-queen that he is-" Thunder rumbled overhead. "SHUT UP!" Juliet hollered. "Anyway, he decided that I couldn't see my friends in Elysium. Especially Gav. I think he got in trouble with Lady Hera that day. I don't know, but he was in the mood to torture other people. Your mom saved the day. I guess she used her 'love radar' or whatever, but she-"

"She got him to take it back?"

Juliet winced. "Not exactly…" she brightened up for a second. "Do you like stories?"

"Well, I've managed to survive the campfire, so…"

Juliet laughed. She didn't have a sweet, soft laugh like Silena. Her laugh was loud and deep and slightly scratchy.

"Well, I know the perfect story." Juliet replied gleefully.

"Once upon a time, a young cowherd met a fairy weaver, and they fell in love. They spent every day together. The girl's father was fine with this, but soon, they forgot about their work. Her father grew angry that she had neglected her weaving and forbade them from seeing one another. He separated them on two islands, then created a huge sea between the lands to keep them apart. One day, a small magpie heard the weaver crying and took pity on her. He promised to help her see her beloved. So, every year, for one day, all the magpies in the world fly together and create a huge bridge across the sea so that the cowherd and the weaver can be together for one day."

Silena stared at her. "So, you're telling me that my mom only managed to convince Zeus to let you see your boyfriend once a year?"

"Um… pretty much. Hey, what about you? Don't you have your own mushy love story to work on?"

Silena blushed and glanced at Beckendorf, who was walking towards the forges. "I have no clue what you're talking about."

Juliet raised her eyebrows again. "So, you're NOT dating Beckendorf? 'Cause then it's just sad if you're constantly staring at him with googly eyes just 'cause you won't ask him out."

Silena blushed. "Shut up! I don't even know if he likes me like that!"

"You don't? I can help ya with that." Juliet stood up.

"What are you-"

"HEY BECKENDORF!" Juliet shouted. He turned around.

"DO YOU LI- ACK!" Silena tackled Juliet to the ground then turned and waved at Beckendorf, like: 'she's fine, nothing's happening, you can go now'.

"Are you crazy?!" Silena whisper-screamed.

"That may or may not be true. I think I hit my head on a rock…"

Silena sighed, shaking her head. Juliet grinned at her mischievously. "Don't worry, I wouldn't actually tell him. But it'll all work out alright, got it?"

Silena turned around sharply. "What does that m…" she faltered when she noticed that the daughter of Thanatos had already flown off.

(2 months later)

Silena and Beckendorf strolled through Elysium, hand in hand. He turned to her. "What should we-"

He was cut off by a loud shriek. They both turned in the direction of the scream and saw a tall teenager with ratty brown hair and blue eyes running past them. There was a teenage girl slung over his shoulder. She shrieked again.

"Gav, put me down right now!"

"NEVER!" The boy shouted.

"Uh, should we do something?" Beckendorf asked uncerainly.

Silena smiled at the pair. "Nah." she said.

The boy ran over to a lake and threw the girl in. She popped up a second later.

"You are so DEAD! Get back here!"

"Catch me if you can!" The boy shouted as he took off running down the beach. The girl followed, laughing.

Silena grinned. "Let 'em have their fun."
