I do NOT own Percy Jackson. I am very upset about it. Well, whatever... Thank you ALL for your support of Perlia and this story. I love you (figuratively) all! You totally rock my world! – Imtotallyluvinmylife

(Thalia's POV)

I dreamt of the future. I think, because, to tell you the truth, I'm not that sure what I saw. It seemed like it could've happened yesterday, or years in the future. You know if Percy and I really get married and become immortal. I'm still kind of hazy on that topic. Anyways, I dreamt that I was looking at an older/younger version of Percy and a girl, talking.

"Percy?" I whispered. I looked more closely at the girl. On her left hand, she wore a dazzling silver ring. It had carved lightning on it, with two tridents on it, also. On the top, there was a green emerald, the color of Percy's eyes - and the sea. In Greek, on the bottom, there was a name etched in the lightning. Thalia My heart almost thudded to a stop. I swallowed hard and walked a little closer. Percy said something, but I caught all of what the other me said, in reply.

"Oh, Percy...stop it! You're embarrassing me!" She sure didn't sound convincing.

"Sure, whatever you say, my lady love." The other I blushed even harder than she already was. Personally, I thought it was odd, but extremely cute the way Percy was acting. He certainly never acted that way around Annabeth. Percy continued to say stuff in that mock fancy voice, occasionally slipping up.

"Would thy lady want to go for a walk?" Percy asked that other me.

"Only if you cut the fake voice," said the older me, trying not to laugh.

"Okay, that works for me. Here, let me help you up." Even acting like a stupid old Seaweed Brain, he was still being super nice and considerate. I wanted to follow them on their walk, but I felt myself waking up.

"No, I...I have to see what happens! Is that even me? No! I don't want to wake up!"

"NO!" I sat bolt upright in bed, hitting my head on a familiar boy.

"Gods, Thalia, what was that about?" muttered Percy, rubbing his head.

"Percy!" overjoyed (although, I really shouldn't be) I threw my arms around him.

"Nice to see you, too," he said, returning the hug. "It's nice to see that you're feeling better." When I took a closer look at Percy, he looked...not awful, but not good. He looked skinnier than before, and his eyelids were drooping.

"You certainly don't look better, Percy. How long have I been out for? How long have you been sitting here?"

"I...I was really worried about you, Thalia. You've been out for a week. I didn't sleep well..." Percy trailed off, leaving me in thought. He cared about me. He never left my side. I felt my heart swell. These feelings, they were wrong, weren't they? I mean, it's all Aphrodite's fault, but for some reason, I secretly hope it's fate. I really, really want to stay here, wrapped in Percy's arms as he fell asleep. I bit my lip and broke up the hug.

"I...I have to go Percy, I need to see someone..."

"Oh, yeah, that's okay...I totally understand, but...before you go..." Then, he kissed me! Percy Jackson kissed me! Okay, major cave in here, I kissed him back, putting my arms around his neck. I knew I had to go, though, just to...to make sure this was real.

"I don't want to go, Percy. I really don't, but...but...I have to." I felt like crying. Was love really this emotional? He gave a short not, kissed me one last time, and allowed me to leave. Now I have to go and have a little chatwith a certain goddess.

(Aphrodite's POV)

I just squeal with excitement when things mess up Percy Jackson's love life. It's so complicated. Then again, as my sister Athena could tell you, love/life is complicated. Get used to it. I mean, first he falls in love (kind of) with the mortal, Rachel Dare. Then, after she becomes the Oracle, he becomes the boyfriend to Annabeth Chase. Only, without my help, she goes and cheats on him! That little lying, low life brat! So, I just stopped messing up his love life, assuming he doesn't need my help. Then, a miracle happened! A miracle with the name of Thalia Grace, and the love connection is all natural! That means, there is absolutely no way I am a part of, or can ever be a part of this love story. A shame, but, if it means two less demigods to marry off, it's a good deal. Suddenly, Thalia comes bursting through the doors to my temple, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Why? Why? Why? Why? You are just going to get my hopes so high again and let them crash and burn, Aphrodite! Why me? Why me? I really, really, really like Percy, but if this is fake... I just want it to end now." I felt myself almost well up with tears. She really liked this guy. And she was supposedly the tough one. Everyone breaks down from love eventually – everyone.

"Dear child," I said in a cooing motherly voice, "I did nothing. If you follow what your heart decides everything will be alright. Now, do you need a tissue?" Thalia nods. And gratefully takes the tissue. That is one more problem solved... I'm getting so GOOD at this!

Well? How was it? I hope it was good and that you review with ideas! Cause if it is a good idea, I'll send you a shoot-out! Which reminds me... Thank you GLEEKPJOFREAK for your idea! I appreciate it! Okay, so review and I'll write more! I promise!
