I was going to kill him. It had been weeks since everyone at camp had found out about the comet show and he still hadn't asked me to sit with him. I mean for gods sakes doesn't he understand? All of the hints I was dropping, making it beyond obvious? He doesn't even get it one day when I say, "Hey Nico, I heard some of the guys at camp were gunna ask me to the comet show, who are you going with?" HE IS TOO OBLIVIOUS! I kept walking towards the dining pavilion, lost in my own thoughts. I was almost to the steps when I ran into someone, hard. I looked up and saw the familiar olive skin framed by shaggy, dark hair. I smiled. "Hey Dead Man, watch where you're going!" I joked.

"I could say the same Sparky." He replied deadpanning. I smiled at him shyly and started to turn away. All thoughts of my rant flew from my head as he grabbed my hand and pulled me back towards him. I gasped and felt a spark of electricity run up my arm and into his hand. He pulled away quickly cradling his hand.

"I'm so sorry! I totally didn't mean to. It's like an instinct after-"he cut me off by cupping my face in his other hand.
"Look, Thales, I have been thinking about something. Since there's that comet show in a few weeks and we kind of went to the fire works together and stuff, can you watch the comet show with me?" He blurted the last part out as fast as possible and I smiled.

"Now, THAT, sounds like a good idea dead man." I replied. Inside I was screaming and jumping up and down like a little girl. He smiled, looking relieved.

"Great! See you later Thales!" he called out to me as he walked away. As soon as he was out of sight I started jumping up and down. I had such a sudden burst of energy that I sprinted to the lake and, finally, collapsed on the sand, panting. I closed my eyes and soaked up the mid morning sun. My stomach growled as loud as Hades and I realized that I had never really eaten breakfast. I sat up and yelped when I noticed a pair of dubious teenagers walking out of the sea.

"God's Percy! Can't you and Annabeth give a girl a warning?" I screamed at them. Percy looked at me slightly condescendingly.

"WE scared YOU? YOU scared US! It's not often you see a random daughter of Zeus soaking up rays in the morning hours. The only reason you ever come to the beach is if Nico is here!" he shouted back at me. I glared at him for the Nico comment but quickly felt my checks turn red. It was sort of true. Annabeth tried to hide her smile behind her hand but a giggle escaped her and I turned away, insulted. I mean, my gods wouldn't you expect at least one annoying Apollo camper to be up? Annabeth tried to convince me to forgive her but I really did NOT want to budge. I was annoyed. I have NO IDEA why though? I mean it's true; I did only come down here with Nico. And I did like Nico. I guess I'll forgive them. I turned back to say something and, shocker, they were standing there making out.

"Can you at least wait until I've walked away to start chewing each other's faces off? Get a room!" I commented. They pulled apart and blushed like always and I knew that as soon as I turned away again they would start snogging. "I'll leave you annoying love birds alone." I said sarcastically and jogged back up towards my cabin. On the no-more-than-10-minute-walk up to my cabin I saw four couples acting all gooey. My gods, what is with people these days? They act like the worlds ending! I don't care that it's possible for any one of us! After passing all of the couples it was a rare sight to see one dark headed olive skinned person sitting on the steps to my cabin. I wondered who it was, but as soon as they came into clear vision I realized what an idiot I was. My jog increased to a run, and I sat down next to him with a smile. He looked up and his brown eyes gleamed in the sun. He even smiled.

"Hey sparks. Listen, I know that I already asked you to the meteor show but I need to do something. I need to make this official. Will you go out with me?" he said, looking up to me with those puppy dog eyes.

"YES! YESSS YESSS YESS YESS!" I shouted; acting happier than I think I ever have before. He jumped up and a smile lit up his face, one brighter than I thought any son of Hades could manage. He grabbed me into his arms and we wrapped our arms around each other. Then he pulled away and I said, "What are you do-" but I was interrupted by him leaning forward and kissing me. I stood there and absorbed the feeling of him, so close to me when I heard the shouts.

"We heard the screaming! What's going- Holy Hades what IS GOING ON?" Annabeth screeched as she ran to the cabin. Nico and I jumped apart, blushing. He tried to stammer out some lame reply but Percy came up behind Annabeth and commented,

"DUDE! Get some!" Annabeth and I turned to glare at him simultaneously.

"Don't encourage them Seaweed Brain! If anything they should get a room."

And Nico and I smiled and took the steps into my cabin. "You get a room Annie girl!" I shouted smugly over my shoulder.
