Hey! New chappie, YAY! I'd like to thank everyone that reviewed! I know that I need to work on my other story, "The Lightning Thief," but, I NEED OCs! Please, if ANYBODY out there has an OC that would be good for one of the characters in Percy Jackson and the Olympians, (the books, not the movie) PLEASE let me borrow them, and I promise to give you FULL CREDIT for the OCs! One last thing, if any of you readers like the book, Princess Academy, then read the author's note at the bottom. Well, enjoy chapter two, everybody!

"Guys," said Kimiko, "you need to settle this feud. It's got to stop."

The guys contemplate this, before Raimundo says, "So, what you're saying is, figure out who's right, and move on?"

"Well….I guess that's one way to look at it."

"Then," Omi began, "who is right?"

"Yeah," asked Clay.

"What," Kimiko asked incredulously, her blue eyes showing that she prayed that this wasn't what she thought it was.

"Well," asked the guys in unison.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Time out. You guys can't possibly be serious."

Silence.

"Dear Dashi, you are. I'm not going to choose sides!"

"C'mon, Kim," said Raimundo, "just tell us who's right."

"Yes, Kimiko, please?"

"Yeah, Kimiko, who's-"

"STOP IT! I'm not going to choose sides! You guys are my best friends, and you're expecting me to choose?"

"Yes," they all replied in unison.

Kimiko just smacked her forehead, and replied, "You guys are idiots! I'm not gonna choose sides!" She then shivered, due to the fact that she was previously frozen in a block of ice that day. Clay and Omi had already left, leaving only Raimundo and Kimiko.

Raimundo, seeing Kimiko shiver, asked, "You okay, Kim?" (AWW! He cares about her! X3)

Still shivering, she responded, "Y-yeah. J-just kinda c-cold."

"Oh. Well... it makes sense, considering you were frozen in a block of ice."

"R-rai, if this i-is s-supposed to m-make me f-feel better, it's n-not helping."

Raimundo, seeing how desprately cold she was, decided to be bold. "You're really that cold?"

Kimiko just nodded in response, silently wondering where on Earth this is going.

Raimundo stepped closer to her, wrapping his arms around her in an embrace.

Kimiko, confused and blushing, asked, "W-what's this for?"

Raimundo, feeling a blush creep across his own face, responded, "W-well, you said that you were still cold, and-"

"AH-HA!" Came the familiar voice of everyone's favorite, yet naive, little monk.

"Omi!" Raimundo and Kimiko exclaimed, jumping apart instantly.

"Kimiko, you said that you would not choose sides!" (What a dope!)

"Omi, I-I wasn't! I... we... " She trailed off, having no idea how to explain.

Raimundo had always hated the fact that Omi was so quick to accuse. That moment in time was no different. "Oh, just stow it, Omi! So I gave her a hug, so what? I was trying to keep her warm, not get her to choose sides!"

With that, Omi, who had apparantly ignored EVERYTHING that Raimundo had said, walked off.

Kimiko turned to Raimundo with a light blush on her cheeks. "Rai?"

"Yeah?"

MUAHAHA! ANOTHER CLIFFIE! I know, you guys are starting to REALLY hate my cliff hangers. I apologize, but, unlike most author's...I don't really write my stories out before I start typing. It's just the way I roll. Anyway, for those of you who enjoy Princess Academy, I would like to let you know that I am working on a cute little story that focusses on Miri and Peder, taking place where the book left off. I'll also be working on that meme that I got tagged for, and after the meme, I PROMISE that I'll try working on 'The Lightning Thief.' PLEASE R&R! THE REVIEW BUTTON IS YOUR FRIEND, SO, NO FLAMES PLEASE! I'LL TRY TO ADD IN MORE OF CLAY NEXT CHAPTER! WHY AM I STILL SHOUTING?
