Nico's POV

I touched my cheek. It felt, warm and tingly. Warm and tingly? You're a dude, man! Get a hold of yourself! I couldn't help but grin stupidly. Thalia's kiss had sent a jolt of electricity through me. This wasn't a cheesy romance book, like I dunno Light-twi, but the Daughter of Zeus's kiss sent an actual shock through me. I should remember to tell her this for next time. Wait, Nico, what are you thinking? Are you actually considering the fact that she'd kiss you again? It was hopeless. She was so beautiful, and brave, and smart, and funny. I don't deserve her. I put my head in my hands when I heard a POOF!

"Oh my G! Nico! Don't feel down! You totally deserve her!" Ugh, Aphrodite.

"Get lost." Not my smartest move, but whatever.

Aphrodite ignored this, "You and Thalia definitely have to get together!"

I glared at her, "Why do you care? You only want to see a cute couple, then break us up, and then find some other poor mortals to harass. Isn't that what happened with Paris and Helen?"

"Tsk tsk, little demi-god. Back then I was young and foolish and all I cared for was cute couples. But I am the goddess of love. And seeing you heartsick makes me feel hurt, too." Whoa. Did Aphrodite just say something deep and meaningful? . "And I've totally never had a goth-demi-god couple!" Nevermind.

"Yeah, whatever, she's a Hunter and a daughter of Zeus; I don't really care about her." It hurt my heart to say it though.

"Foolish little boy! I know all your feelings! Goddess of Love, here! You love her! Man-up and confess your feelings to her!" And with that she vanished, leaving me feeling really confused.

Gahhh girls are so confusing. Squealing demi-goddesses, Hunters, and a Goddess. I walked back to my cabin and was looking for my iPod when I heard a POOF! behind me.

"Look Aphrodite, I don't want to talk." I said irritably without turning around, "Go away."

"It would do you good to learn some respect." It wasn't Aphrodite. I knew this voice. It was imprinted in my brain so firmly that I wouldn't be able to forget it, if I tried. I turned around to see none other than my dad, Hades himself. CRAP I JUST MOUTHED OFF TO THE GOD OF DEATH.

"Father! I'm sorry! I didn't know it was you! I thought it was Aphrodite because she's annoying and likes popping in at random times but I didn't think it was you because I know you have more important things to attend to rather than visiting me." I blabbered on. I hope he won'r banish my soul to fifty years of torment.

My father looked amused. He was wearing a black Armani suit, shiny black shoes, and designer shades, "Nico, I'm not going to banish your soul to fifty years of torment." Crap! He knows what I'm thinking! Hades is the best god out of them all, I'm on Team Hades, Suck it, Zeus. *thunder bolt*. THEY ALL KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING?

"Son, calm yourself. You are not going to be smote, blown up, or sent to the fiery pits of hell. I came to talk to you." A warm, tingly feeling spread through me. Hades came to see me? Personally? What's with the all the warm tingly, feelings today?

"Ah, that's exactly what I came about. Zeus's offspring."

"Father, I understand. You want me to stay away from her because she is Zeu - "

"No! Just because I'm Hades does not mean I will subject Zeus's offspring to an eternity of hate. I have better things to do." Like torture souls.

"Yes, like torturing souls. Now, son. Do you love the girl?" Did I? I didn't know. I hung my head in shame.

"I'm sorry Father…I don't know." I slowly looked up at him, and he was nodding with approval. What the heck?

"Good. You should be uncertain. If you love the girl, I will accept it."

"What?" He totally caught me off guard.

"You remind me of how I felt about your mother when I first met her." His eyes drifted off into the distance, looking wistful, "She was so beautiful. And fearless. And…anyways, that's the past. I loved your mother. I may be the God of Death, but it doesn't make me heartless."

I stared at him thinking hard. I believed him that he would accept Thalia, but he was Hades. He had to have an ulterior motive for this. Trust me, as his son, I inherited all his traits.

Hades smiled, "Think, son. Why would I accept Zeus's offspring?"

Hades vs. Zeus…there was also that Athena/Poseidon rivalry…OH.

"You want to show to the Council how much better your character is compared to Zeus, Athena, and Poseidon who cannot accept their mortal children falling in love?" I guessed.

"Excellent. This is why you're one of my favorite children." Whoa, what?

"I've stayed too long. Here is a present. Farewell, son, and remember, as mortals say these days, Team Hades FTW." He vanished. I looked down at what he had handed me. A dagger? I unsheathed it. A freaking sharp blade that would never be dulled! It matched my Stygian sword.

"Thank you Father!" I yelled to the sky. I actually felt happy. Hades cared? About me? I was one of his favorite children?

Aww man, here comes that tingly feeling again!

Thalia's POV

I was walking back to the Artemis cabin when I saw Annabeth. I ran over, only to discover that she was crying.

"Annabeth! What's wrong?" I had a feeling I knew the answer.

"What? I mean…its Percy. I've been in love with him for the past seven years and he hasn't noticed. I mean I knew Hera hated me, but now Aphrodite, too!" I knew how much Annabeth hated crying.

"Annabeth. You are so stupid."

"Excuse me?" Ahh, now there was the Annabeth rage that I knew and loved.

"Percy's in love with someone. But he's more in love with her, than you are with him." I really shouldn't be enjoying this. I. am. not. enjoying. this. Bahahaha, I totally am.

"Who is she? I'm going to find her, and tear her eyes out slowly and painfully and then stab her!" Annabeth's hair was flying up making her look like the Angel of Death. You've already got an Angel of Death. Shut up Aphrodite.

"You know, Annabeth, I'd never have guessed you were suicidal." I took her completely off guard.

"What?"

"Annabeth, for a child of Athena, you're pretty stupid. Percy is more in love with you, then you are with him."

"But the kissing booth?"

"My idea. I wanted to make you jealous." Annabeth looked at me thoughtfully.

"That is a plan worthy of Athena."

"Thank you." I beamed proudly.

"Will there be a Half-Blood Prom?"

"I dunno, do you want to plan it?"

"Of course I will! Leave it all to me!" Suddenly Annabeth looked past me. I turned around to see a depressed looking Percy sulking.

"Go get him, girl."

I watched as Annabeth ran up to Percy, slapped him hard in the face, and then started kissing him like there was no tomorrow. I smiled to the sky. Thanks Aphrodite.

Yeah I was too lazy to write up all about Thalia planning prom, so I dumped it onto Annabeth. I also finally got Annabeth and Percy together *applause!*

Team Hades FTW! I think Hades needs more love.
