Sup! Have I mentioned that I LOVE EVERYONE who reviews? WELL I DO. Many super thanks to:

Longlastingdreams, to who I say don't worry. I might be most abnormal kid on the face of the planet.

Nico DiAngelo and I eloped: A couple things : 1, I am in love with your pen name. 2, I know you're a fanfic author ( I may or may not have stalked your profile to find out this juicy bit of gossip) so you must know how awseomeazing it is when people really like your story! YAY

ForeverPurpleAndInLove: I am also in love with your pen name and Thanks I LOVE SPEED UPDATERS so I try to update as FAST as possible

Happiness: It's FINE. I just wanted you and everyone else to know that I was using a limited vocabulary for a reason. I try to be a good writer and suck at taking criticism. At least you didn't flame

Disclaimer: THE PERCY JACKSON FRANCHISE WILL BE MINE. I swear. But until then, Rick Riordan is boss.

Nico was shuffling around nervously. He looked extremely uncomfortable. He started walking around camp, but it was too awkward for me, so I started finally scratching what had been itching at my brain since Nico's cabin. What could Aphrodite said that was that bad? Maybe that stupid goddess of bimbos told him I was a huntress! Then she would have ruined all of my chances of being Nico DiAngelo's friend! He could be my first male friend, besides Percy who I'm really only friends with because of Annabeth which makes us friends in law, since… since Lu—I can't even think it. Though I wanted to avoid the prophecy, I think Luke's choice made me feel wronged, and was a subconscious reason for agreeing to give up boys and be fifteen forever. Nico gave me a good vibe though. While I was contemplating this, and realizing my mistake, and generally having an internal monologue/epiphany thing going on I heard someone going :

"Thalia? Thalia? THALIA! Anybody home? Come on Sparky, why don't you ride an electric wave back to the present?" the Sparky comment made my spine snap straighter and a turned my trademark Thalia glare on this offender.

"Sparky?" I hissed in outrage "I will MURDER YOU." I sprinted at him, but he just disappeared. My hair started crackling with electricity and I screeched in outrage. Nico and I spent the rest of the day running around camp and having a fun demigod- trying-to -severely- injure- my-opponent- time. We played the best game of tag ever, where Nico would shadow travel and I would hit him with miniature lightning bolts to win. Needless to say, it was the most fun thing I've done all year.

Breathing heavily, I fall and lie down. The sun is setting, and I can't believe I've been goofing off with a BOY for 3 hours straight. Nico materializes next to me and lies down. We're on the hill overlooking the forest and Breathing heavily. Using our demigod powers so much drained me. Oh, if Lady Artemis could see me now…

WAIT! Lady Artemis? I was supposed to Iris message her an hour ago! Instead I was hanging out with a BOY! I sat straight up and told Nico I needed to pee. I ran back to the Artemis cabin and took out my water spritzer, which I kept around for moments like now. I was still breathing hard when I saw my Lady, scowling.

"You're late?" She said, more like a question than an accusation.

"Yes, my Lady. I was reconnecting with some camp friends I haven't seen in a long time." I couldn't lie to her. I crossed my fingers and hoped she wouldn't ask who. She sighed deeply and rubbed her temples.

"It's fine. But, Lieutenant I've been meaning to tell you, because I'll be frank, I forgot about this. As lieutenant, you must complete quests for me with other demigods in the normal fashion. You may even have to do these quests with" Lady Artemis made a face and drew out "Boys."

So she wouldn't suspect me of up of anything when she named the Y chromosome criminals, I made a face. Lady Artemis smiled kindly.

"I know you won't disappoint me." She said, then she poofed away. I grabbed a pillow and coughed into it. I wouldn't cry. But if I disappointed Lady Artemis… What'll be the consequences? I don't even want to find out. I run out the door and sprint to the Zeus cabin. Just in time, too because Nico knocks on the door just after I lie down in the cubby I used to use as my bed.

I walk to the door sleepily, when Nico starts yammering.

"…And you were gone for an hour! You missed dinner I thought you died or something! Did I offend you? Is it about the letter from Joe? Because I still can't tell you what that said!" I stopped him with a hand and yawned.

"We used our powers a lot, so I got really sleepy. I came down to my cabin, then fell asleep by accident because I was exhausted. " I try to calm his frazzled nerves, using the same soothing tones I used with the little girl in Annabeth's cabin. "But I expected you'd be conking out too. Instead I get Mr. Crazy hyper. Maybe you Haes folks got a better deal then me." I made a face of puckered lips and furrowed eyebrows that made Nico smile.

" A triple espresso coffee with dinner." He said guiltily. I laughed and grabbed his hand to pull him along. The physical contact made my skin zing. Nico jerked his and away and said

"Did you shock me?" He asked. I know I didn't. I actually don't know what that weird feeling was, but what it felt like was unfamiliar and I got a strange sense that it was a taboo. So I safely squeaked

"Yeah. Gotcha!" and we chased each other around camp until firetime.

Love? Hate? REVIEW! Please? Also, I've decided that I'll update when I can, but at least once a week. If I can't, I'll update with an Authors note so you guys know I'm not dead.

Please PLEASE review. It makes me feel all tingly inside. 6 reviews. That's what I got and I LOVE IT
