That night; at Camp Half-Blood
Silena's P.O.V.
We sat on the floor of the Artemis cabin (we had permission! xD) and chatted for a while. Then I spoke up:
"Hey, want to play truth or dare?"
They ad libbed their agreements.
"I'll go first." I turned to face Thalia. "Truth or dare?"
"Dare." Classic Thalia.
"Okay." I smirked. "Who's your crush?"
"My what?" she laughed nervously for a short moment, then grew serious. She blushed a bit, then took a deep breath. "It's... It's NIco."
We. All. Gaped. Then we questioned her all about him.
Percy's P.O.V.
Woah, woah, woah. Woah. Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus, Hunter of Artemis, liuteniant of the Hunters of Artemis, has a crush on NICO DI ANGELO. ... Wow. Travis and Connor Stoll, Jason Grace, Beckendorf, Grover, and I were just checking up (yeah, yeah, call us spies, whatever, but at least we're not perverted!) on the girls' party, when we overheard that.

"Ok, here's the plan. We go back, and tell Nico in the morning." The guys nodded, and ran off. I was about to follow, but I was a split second too short. Damn.
"Percy?"
I turned around to see Annabeth.
"Oh, hey Annabeth" I replied nonchalantly. "How's the party?"
"It's not a party, Percy," she said, rolling her eyes. "And pretty good. What are you doing here?"
"Oh, you know, taking a stroll, heading to the beach."
"Ooh, mind if I come?"
"But don't you have a girls-night-out thingy to be at?" Don't get me wrong, I love hanging out with my GF, but she needs to enjoy herself with her othr friends every now and then.
She went inside the cabin, then came back out. "They don't mind if I'm gone for a while."
"Alrighty then." I smiled at her, and she quickly kissed me on the cheek. "No wonder you're not an Apollo kid," I joked, smirking. "You have terrible aim."
We laughed.
"Just wait until we're alone, Seaweed Brain." she said, taking my hand and walking with me to the beach.
