Thalia POV
I feel like a frickin' daughter of Aphrodite. The reason that I invited Annabeth over for the summer was because my cousin Kelp Head was coming, too. They would be sooo cute together! Ugh-kill me now I'm acting like a daughter of Aphrodite.
I wasn't planning on leaving them alone, but then Artemis Iris-messaged me saying that Gaea was planning on summoning hell hounds in Miami, so I couldn't really say no. God knows what Annabeth's gonna say once she finds out.
Percy POV
The plan ride was...interesting. Let's just say I sat next to a goddess. No, I don't mean some pretty girl or anything, I mean a real, actual...goddess. And to make things better, she utterly hated me! Yay! Note the OBVIOUS sarcasm. It just so happened that Athena, my father's (Poseidon) rival was also on that plane to keep an eye on her 'hideous ex' as she called him. And then of course, she got all mad at me and threatened to blast me because of something my father did.
But the weirdest part was when she told me to stay away from her daughter. What the Hades!? I don't know any daughter's of Athena! Unless you count the girls at camp, but I really never talked to them due to...you guessed it: our parents.
I just pulled in to Thalia's driveway. Let's see how this goes.
Annabeth POV
I just overheard the weirdest conversation. When Thalia, was in her room, and I guess she thought she couldn't hear me, she was talking on the phone. I'm guessing it was her cousin, because 1.) She called him 'Kelp Head' and 'Perce'-nicknames that people don't randomly give each other 2.) She was talking about me being a demigod, so he must be a demigod, so he must be a son of Poseidon (Kelp Head), which means that their fathers are brothers. See that Athena magic kicking in? I thought so.
And also WHY THE HADES AM I GOING TO BE STUCK ALONE WITH THALIA'S BOY COUSIN FOR HALF THE SUMMER?! (AN ahh...the joys of caps lock)
