Thanks to all of you who reviewed, favorited, followed, and read my story! So I decided on changing Thalico to Solangelo.

ANNABETH POV:

"As I was saying, I kind of think she likes Jason. I mean I want to be okay with it, it's just kind of hard. At least they're not dating. It's not like Piper's bad or anything, I just don't want her dating my little brother. It's weird." Thalia rambled. She had been monologueing about her brother's dating life forever and I'd completely spaced out. "ANNABETH? Are you listening? We're getting ready for the party at your house, right?" Thalia yelled.

"Oh, yeah, sure. Sorry just zoned out for a second. Who's coming again?" I asked.

"Piper, Katie, and I."

"Okay," I responded. "So what were you day-dreaming about? Was it Percy?" She teased making kissy faces. I rolled my eyes. "No, I was actually thinking about what happened earlier this week, you know with Travis and Reyna?"

"Oh, right. She sucks. Why are we going to her party, again?" She asks.

"Because Connor's never been to a party and, plus, it's the first party of the year. Come on, it won't be that bad."

"Ugh. Fine."


"BRRINNNG!" I heard the doorbell ring and I go down stairs. I'm home alone right now, my mom being at a work party and my dad is on a business trip. I open the door to see the smiling faces of Piper, Katie, and Thalia.

"Hey! I was about ring your doorbell but I saw that Piper and Katie were here too, so I waited for them. What a coincidence! I think I'm a little loopy right now." Thalia rambled with such excitement; nobody who knew her would've said she was normal right now.

"Yeah, Thals, what happened? I just left you alone for a couple hours and you went totally berserk." I joked.

Piper grinned, "I have no clue what happened to her," she started as we walked up the stairs, "but, you know I'm kinda enjoying it."

The three of us walked upstairs, at well, a normal pace, but Thalia raced up and waltzed into my bedroom. At the sight of her actions, we experience a moment of confusion and then spontaneously burst into fits of laughter. We jogged quickly up the rest of the stairs and entered my room to find Thalia sprawled out on my bed with a goofy grin on her face.

KATIE POV:

As soon as I see Wonky Thalia in Annabeth's room, I'm overcome with laughter. I haven't known Thalia for long; well actually only a week-ish, but so far, she's never acted like this. Then again, I haven't actually spent time with her outside of school. Maybe at North Ridge she's a fierce, funny, and normal seeming girl, but outside of school perimeters she transforms into crazy, absolutely bonkers, and running around, Thalia.

"Okay we're going to sit up straight," Annabeth says pushing Thalia up into a sitting position. Annabeth sounds like she's talking to a little kid and at this Thalia giggles, but she's not alone, Annabeth's trying to contain her giggles as well. "And get ready for the party." Thalia listens to her with big smile still plastered on her face. "Got it?" Thalia nods. Annabeth doesn't look convinced. She looks around the room and then out at her window. A mischievous grin grows on her face. "If you don't get ready without going crazy again, then I'll take you to the top of the Empire State Building."

I didn't understand how a visit to the Empire State Building was blackmail material, but it seemed like it worked because a look of absolute horror struck Thalia's face. (A/N: It's good blackmail material because of Thalia's fear of heights) Maybe the Empire State Building is actually really scary. I'm not sure, I've never been there.

Once Thalia got up, Piper assigned us all jobs. "Thalia, you're doing everyone's eye makeup. Annabeth, you're picking out jewelry for everyone. Katie, do everyone's hair, and I'll be with Thals on the makeup."

We all got to work getting on our dresses. Everyone brought their dresses to Annabeth's house so after the party we can come back and crash here.

My dress was dark green, mid-thigh length, and with black lace designs starting from the sweet heart neckline, down the mid-skirt length. The dress was strapless with a black band wrapped around at my waist.

I left the bathroom with my dress on and the clothes I wore before in a bag. I spotted Annabeth and Thalia outside already. Annabeth wore a maroon, body fitting dress that was also mid-thigh length. It had a square neckline and lace fitted sleeves. She looked really pretty.

Thalia was wearing a black, upper thigh length dress, with a gold band tied around her waist, half-sleeves, and an oval cut out at the top of her chest.

"Wow, you guys look great!" I exclaimed. "Where's Piper?"

"Right here!" Piper called from behind me. I spun around to find Piper smiling behind me in a teal, upper thigh length dress, tight fitted, with a strapless, sweet heart neckline. Her dress was ruffled and had a silver sequin line running from the top to the waist.

Then we worked on hair, makeup, and jewelry. I straightened Annabeth's curly, blonde hair and left it down. Thalia had medium-length, straight, uneven hair so I left it out too. For Piper's choppy brown hair, I braided it into a side fishtail. For my long, dark brown hair, I straightened the top and curled the ends and left it down.

I went to Annabeth to get my jewelry, a black lace choker and I kept the silver charm bracelet I usually wear. Annabeth was wearing a gold owl necklace with a gold chain bracelet with an infinity sign. Thalia wore black stud earrings and Piper wore the rose gold rose studs she always wears and a rose gold necklace.

For makeup Piper gave me a bold red lip, pink blush, foundation, thick mascara and thin eyeliner from Thalia. Annabeth had matte lips the color of her dress, foundation, light mascara, and smoky eyes. Piper put on nude-pink lip gloss, foundation, eyeliner, smoky eyes, and some mascara. Thalia had on super dark red matte lipstick, winged eyeliner, light mascara, foundation, and highlight.

After much preparation, a lot of laughing, and trying to do our eyebrows with dry mascara brushes, we were finally ready.

"Finally! Done!" Piper exclaimed. "Can we eat now? Please?" She whined. We laughed at her pleading.

The doorbell rang and Piper groaned. "Noooo! I want food!"

"Don't worry, there'll be food there. I responded to her as we all went downstairs.

"Plus, Jason will be there." I said softly enough so only she heard.

She jabbed my side. "Katie!" She exclaimed.

I just grinned at Piper as Annabeth opened the door.

TRAVIS POV:

When Annabeth opened the door the only person I focused on was Katie. Of course that's really frustrating because I didn't want to like Katie but it was really hard not to. I saw her grinning at Piper, her looking gorgeous in her dress, but then again, she always looks gorgeous.

Okay I seriously need to stop. Or…maybe I should ask her out instead. I thought back to what happened with me and Reyna. If she's mad about it she's not showing it. But we haven't really talked much these past few days which is pretty weird because we have literally every class together.

Annabeth and Percy greeted each other with a kiss. "Hey," Jason and Piper said at the same time. They laughed. Thalia and Nico had always been friends so they talked and so that left me to greet Katie.

"Hey," I said. My palms were sweating and I was hoping she wouldn't notice.

"Hi," She responded, smiling.

"Would you like me to escort you to the car, madam?" I offered my arm. I didn't know how I came up with that but I was grateful.

"Why, of course. What a gentleman." She mimicked me, smiling. She took my arm and we went to the truck. Connor and I have a black truck and it can fit 5 people so whoever's left will go in Jason's car. When I open the door for Katie, I see Connor sitting in the back on his phone, probably texting Lacy; he won't admit it, but he has a massive crush on her.

I sat in the driver's seat, Katie sat shotgun, and Connor sat in the back along with Percy and Annabeth. Everybody else went in the other car. Like Connor, Leo was already waiting in that car. The ride to the party was only 5 minutes. Annabeth and Percy were talking. I turned to Katie whose hands were on her face.

"What happened?" I asked, concerned.

"You're literally the worst driver ever." She complained. "Watch out for that stop sign!"

"Oh, young Katie. So inexperienced."

"Excuse me?"

"I'm a great driver! I passed my driver's test the first time. And this is just how people drive now." I smirked.

She rolled her eyes. "Please, you probably hacked the system and changed your score."

I smiled sheepishly, "Hacking is what makes life fun."

"Really? I don't hack stuff and I have plenty of fun."

"Well maybe it's not real fun…and no matter what, tonight, you are going to have real fun!"

"Wow, that's a bold mission. You know I'm holding you to that, right?"

"Even if you didn't, Stolls never back down." As I said that, the car came to a halt. We had arrived. I saw Jason's car brake too and we all rejoined.

Connor left to go talk to Lacy probably; Nico went to go find this guy, Will, and everyone else stayed and broke off into pairs or trios. Katie stayed next to me.

"I am ready for my evening of fun." She said grinning. I smirked down at her.

"Good, because you're never going to forget this." With that statement, I picked her up, her legs dangling in front and her fists pounding at my back.

PERCY POV:

Annabeth and I were walking through the crowds and went into the house. "Hey can we get some food? We didn't actually eat at home." Annabeth asked.

"Yeah, sure." I replied as we walked to the kitchen. There's a lot of food there, but most of it is trashed. There are chips, salsa, guacamole, dip, brownies, cookies, Doritos, a giant bag of Skinny Pop, pink lemonade, punch, and a bunch of alcoholic drinks.

Annabeth is about to grab a chip when she pauses, "There are no plates. What in the world is this?" I take one look at her confused, stricken expression and laugh really hard. I'm laughing to the point where my eyes feel tears brimming and Annabeth joins in. Soon we're both laughing really loud.

"Stoppp." She whines trying to stop laughing. "Can't you," she wheezes, "see my misery?"

"Yeah, but your face." My laughter has become mostly wheezes, when Annabeth throws a chip with some salsa on my face.

"Hey," I whine with salsa on my nose. "Ha, look at your face!" She teases. I grin and while she's giggling I come closer and rub guacamole all over her face.

"Nooooo," she cries. I kiss her cheek. I laugh, "You taste like a burrito bowl."

"There's so much guacamole." She laughed.

Just then Reyna came and looked pretty disgusted at the sight of our faces. "Hey Green Lantern, can I borrow Perce for a second?" Reyna asked. I was about to say no when I saw Annabeth just roll her eyes and mouth 'go ahead' to me. "Okay, thanks." Reyna responded without waiting for a definite reply.

She pulled me away and said, "We should totally dance! Do you want a drink?"

"Uhhh, no thank you? I'm alright. What did you want to talk about?"

"I just want to spend some time with you," she said batting her eyelashes, "we should really hang out more."

We heard 'Party in the USA' by Britney Spears play loudly. "I used to love this song! Come on, let's dance." She genuinely seemed to enjoy the song. But I was still wondering where Annabeth was, I scanned the areas near me as Reyna and I went out to the dance floor.

Reyna seemed very content, swaying her hips and throwing her hands in the air. I hadn't actually ever seen her looking this free. Suddenly, my phone rang. I picked up, it was Nico.

"Hey, come to the front. We're going back to Annabeth's." He informed.

"Is everyone there?" I asked, wondering about Annabeth.

"Everyone who wants to come is."

"Okay, I'm coming. Bye."

"Bye." I ended the call.

I turned to Happy Reyna and told her, "Sorry, I've gotta go, my friends and I are leaving."

"Oh," she said seeming a little disappointed, "okay."

I knew Reyna could be really mean, but I felt bad. "But, thank you for inviting us. Great party. Bye!" I said kindly.

At that she smiled and seemed happy again, "Bye, Percy!"I walked towards the front of the house as I listened to her voice fade away.

I reached my friends to see an unusual sight.
