[Conner's POV]

Hehehehehehe. Thalia doesn't know what's happening, and this is so fun! And I have Aphrodite's full support, so I have nothing to worry about.


[Aphrodite's POV]

OMG they are so cute together! I just love watching young love. I knew that it was a good idea to make Conner videotape Nico and Thalia together. Conner did an exellent job. I just knew that Conner was a perfect assistant, since he was quick and clever.


[Annabeth's POV]

"What happened? What is he like? Do you know you missed lunch talking to him? Did he ask you out? Do you like him?

Thalia made a weird face.

"Whaaaat?"

Oh, so Thals doesn't know yet.

"Don't you know that you missed lunch? It was the first time we ate without you!"

"AHHHHHHHH! I missed a meal! I have to get more food!

Thalia zoomed out of the room, heading towards the kitchen.

Hmmm...Did she really mean that or did she plan that? She does seem the type...


[Thalia's POV]

Phew, I got out! I wasn't exactly ready to start answering Anna's questions, 'cause I didn't exactly know myself. It was really confusing and sudden. And to be honest, I was hungry, but I just didn't know that I hadn't eaten lunch. I did need more food, so I grabbed the chance to get out and get food.


[Nico's POV]

I was suprised when I found myself in the room. I mean, I was walking in a forest one moment, then POOF! I'm in some other place. But I guess meeting Thalia made up fo the POOF! thingy.

Thalia.

I guess we aren't called soul mates for nothing. She seemed...Perfect. Spiky black hair, stormy blue eyes that seemed to demand authority... it seemed like everything clicked.

I sighed. Just thinking of her made me..lovesick.

Today was officially the best day of my life. All my life, people have shunned me and my sister Bianca just because we were children of Hades. Then Bianca died, leaving me utterly alone in the world. Today is also the day Bianca died. She died exactly one year ago. That was why I was walking in the forest, I was just feeling sad. But meeting Thalia has made me more happier. No, the happiest of my moods. (A.N. You're impossible, Nico.)

I contacted Bianca. Of course she is dead, but I still talk to her. I told her about today- soul mates, Thalia, Annabeth, Jason, Thalia, Travis and Conner, Aphrodite, Thalia, and Thalia. Did I mention Thalia? (A.N. *Snickers* Lovesick Nico...)

Bianca smiled when I told her all this, and when I told her I kind of like Thalia (A.N. More like love, Nico) She said she was happy that I had finally settled down, found my other peice, found my place to stand.


[Thalia's POV]

I sat down.

I had a problem to think about. Namely, Nico.

It was still kinda awkward between us. I mean, poof! here's your soul mate.

But on the other hand, we kinda clicked. I would not say this again, but he seems like he is made for me. Me looking foward to that date only adds to my liking for him.

I decided to go to Aphrodite. After all, she is the Goddess of love and although I will probably never say this again, she is pretty wise when it comes to emotions.

I walked to her room, and knocked. No answer.

I went in. Aphrodite was watching some kind of video.

Must be some poor couple caught in a camera. Wait. Black haired girl. Boy in all black. Sitting in a girls room that kind of looks like mine.

It is mine. And that boy and girl is Nico and I.

Shit.

I conjured up my most scary and menacing voice and said,

"Aphrodite, what have you done? You freakin videotaped us?"

Aphrodite jumped, then turned around on the chair. I glared my most frightening glare at Aph.


[Aphrodite's POV]

Oops. Thalia caught me.

I slowly turned around. Thalia was glaring at me, and to admit, it was very scary.

The phrase. 'If looks could kill" popped into my head.

I put on my sweetest smile and said,

"Well I couldn't just leave my first couple in a few decades alone, can I?"

Thalia was practically steaming now. I flinched.

"YOU COULD HAVE JUST LEAVE US ALONE! BUT NO, YOU JUST HAVE TO VIDEOTAPE US AND GAPE OVER IT, DON'T YOU? DON'T YOU KNOW ANYTHING CALLED PRIVACY?"

Thalia yelled.

I felt a bit guilty. I just answered,

"I am sorry, Thalia. I promise not to do it again."

Thalia just glared at me more and said,

"You better not do it again"

and just walked out of the door.

I smiled to myself.

I did feel a bit guilty, but not enough to make me cancel my plans for Operation Thalico.

I called Conner. He came immediatly.

"What is the next step, Aph?"

He asked.

I just smiled and said...


Cliffy!

Hehehe. I want to thank all of those who reveiwed, favourited, and followed Soul Mates! Thank you all!
