Thalia P.O.V
Nico and I were going through our plan as to how it was going to work and what goes where.
"Okay, Thals. First, we need to ask Percy to fill all the buckets with water but we need to make sure he doesn't catch on to what we are going to do. Second, we make sure the everyone in the Ares cabin are sleeping. Then we place the buckets at the top of the door. We'll gather all the campers outside but we need to tell them to be quiet. And then…" While Nico was explaining all this, I wasn't really paying any attention. I just stared into those dark eyes of his, I felt like I could get lost in them. So by the time he finished, all I heard was, "…alright, Thals?"
"Huh! What? Oh, um, yeah! That…" I tried to cover up but I was pretty bad at it.
"You weren't listening were you?" he asked me.
"No, because since when are you a stragetist? Are you sure you're not an Athena kid at heart? Hmmm, maybe Annie is rubbing off on you…" I thought out loud. He just frowned at me in response. I tried to hold in my laugh but I failed. He stared at me like I was crazy or something. What demigod isn't though?
"Thals, are we going to do this or not?" he asked again.
"Yeah, yeah but you don't have to be so strategic. I would just dump it on them personally! Then I would run because they can't catch up to me anyways! Ares kids are aggressive but not that fast," As soon as I said that, thunder rumbled outside. I ignored it.
"Let's just go!" Nico shouted exasperatedly.
"Whatever you say, Death Breath," I joked. He sighed and walked to the door.
(Don't mind me! I'm just a line)
Nico P.O.V
Thalia was impossible! I still love her though. Wait…Did I just say that? What was I thinking? I didn't like Thalia did i? Maybe I did… Just a little though. I wonder if she likes me back? I shook my head. I need to concentrate on the task at hand. Concentrate? Task? Thalia's right. Annabeth is rubbing off on me. I shook my head again, I couldn't afford distractions. I was lugging a big bucket of slime behind a bush near the Ares cabin. Thalia strictly refused to carry it. Thalia appeared beside me moments later. She nodded at me and ran out from the bush. I knew what she was going to do. She was going to get the other campers. I pried my eyes away from her as she ran off silently. It was time to put my part of the plan into action. I silently summoned some skeletons from the ground. I ordered them to put the bucket on top of the door. They held it there while I tied it so it wouldn't fall off before we had any fun.
"Perfect," I approved silently. I noticed that a crowd had started to form, even Chiron was there. They were all in pj's and looked unhappy with their unexpected visit from Thalia. I did the next part of the phase. I shadow-travelled inside the cabin and walked up to Clarisse's bed. I shook her awake and ducked to avoid getting skewered by her sword.
"What are you doing here, punk?" she hissed. Obviously unhappy for me waking her up.
"Chiron needs you at the Big House," I said urgently, making it sound like an emergency. She grumbled some curses in Ancient Greek and slowly got up. Seeing that she was getting up, I shadow-travelled outside and waited for what happened next. Everyone was there and the Aphrodite cabin look especially unhappy. I saw Thalia standing up front looking at me eagerly. She looked cute. Aaaargh! What am I thinking? I just stood there and waited for what was to come.
