DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN PJO AND/OR ITS CHARACTERS!


Ever since that incident yesterday, Bianca's been carrying her 'lucky rabbit's foot' with her everywhere she goes. Every time Thalia tells her to keep it at home she's all like 'No! I don't my mascara to get ruined. Again. Or to get pie thrown at me. Again. Or to have my own brother show up and take pictures of me when I look like a clown. Again'. I'm serious. She actually said that.

So anyway, here we are. Three hours before the party starts and everybody's freaking out. Except for Jo Jo and I. We're totally calm. In fact we were was just sitting on the couch watching the whole fiasco. Oh! And before I forget to tell you. Thalia was right. Jo Jo does know the way to the refrigerator and/or the pantry and back. He left for a minute then came back holding two cans of Mountain Dew. One for me and one for him. Then he left again and brought back two bananas. Is he kind or what?

Anyways, Thalia was just about to go use the bathroom when Juniper dives past her, right into the bathroom. And, of course, she locked the door so Thalia couldn't get in. So now we have to deal with a fuming Thalia. Oh, joy.

Jo Jo and I decided not to watch the whole fiasco anymore so we turned on the TV. I didn't see anything good on so I decided to flip through the channels. Nope. No. Not good enough. Nada. Nope. Aha! It was the Yankees game. Apparently they were winning 5-3 in the bottom of the eighth. Jo Jo looked happy watching the game so I decided to keep it on the Yankees game. There were two people in scoring positions(second and third). Nico was at bat. Since Thalia wasn't fuming anymore, I decided to mess around with her.

"Hey Thalia!" I shouted. "Your boyfriend's batting!"

"What!" she yelled racing over to the TV. She sat down right next to Jo Jo, who was watching intensely.

We sat there in silence watching the game until Thalia realized what I said, "He is not my boyfriend!"

"Yeah. Uh-huh. Keep on saying that," I said eating the popcorn Jo Jo made for me three minutes ago.

"It's the truth! He's not my boyfriend!" she yelled. "Oh, and where did you get that popcorn?"

"Jo Jo," I replied.

"Oh, that little backstabber!" she yelled looking for him. "Jo Jo! Jo Jo. Oh, Jo Jo. Where are you my little backstabber?"

I chuckled. Thalia didn't even know where he was. He left while she wasn't paying attention. So right now he is currently hiding in freezer. Poor guy. He'll probably be an ice cube by the time Thalia finds him. Oh well, I still owe him for the popcorn so I'll help him warm up later. Eventually Thalia gave up looking for him. So she turned her attention to Juniper.

"Juniper! OPEN UP!" Thalia yelled kicking down the door(literally).

"Ah!" she screamed. She tried to run, but Thalia was faster. Thalia kept pulling on Juniper's hair, while Juniper kept on screaming.

"Will you just SHUT UP!" Bianca yelled walking out of the bathroom in my room.

Everyone stopped and looked at Bianca. She looked good! She was wearing a polka dotted black strapless dress that stopped at her knees.

"You look awesome!" Juniper said staring at her in awe.

"Why, thank you," Bianca said. Than she turned to me, "Your turn."

And with that she pushed me into the bathroom and locked the door so that I can't get out.

~Five Minutes Later~

I walked out of the bathroom(after Bianca let me of course!) to see Juniper standing by the couch wearing a light green strapless dress that also stopped short at the knees.

She stopped watching TV and turned her attention to me. Her jaw fell down to the floor.

"I absolutely love your dress!"

"Awe, thanks!" I said.

I was wearing a white and blue polka dotted dress that, like everybody's, stopped at the knees.

"What are you looking-" Thalia started. "Love the dress!"

"Thanks," I said. "I love yours, too."

She was wearing black, knee length, dress with a bow tied around the waist.

"Thanks," she replied.

"Don't mention it," I said.

"Have any of you seen Jo Jo?" Thalia asked.

"Shoot!" I yelled running towards the freezer. I opened it up to see Jo Jo shivering with icicles clinging to him.

"Everything is going to be fine, Jo Jo," Thalia said calmly.

"Quick! Juniper, go get him his pajamas! Bianca, get him some blankets and a pillow! Thalia, go make him a hot chocolate!" I ordered.

"Got it!" they all agreed.

After getting him dressed in his pajamas, we wrapped him up in a blanket and placed him on the couch were a pillow was ready for him. A couple seconds later Thalia came running in with the hot chocolate.

"Shh! Everything's fine, Jo Jo. Shh!" Thalia said.

Bianca looked at the clock on the wall.

"Shoot!" she said. "We're going to be late if we don't leave right now!"

"Are you going to be fine without us?" I asked Jo Jo.

He shook is head yes.

"Groovy," Juniper said. We all stared at her in shock. Did she just say 'groovy'?

"Did you just say 'groovy'?" Bianca asked.

Juniper shook her head yes.

"Okay, just wondering," Bianca said.

"Now, let's go!" Thalia said.

~Ten and a Half Minutes Later~

"Finally!" Bianca yelled kneeling on the ground. "Land! Sweet land!"

Thalia muttered something that sounded like, "Drama Queen."

"Come on. Let's go," I said dragging Thalia and Bianca in with me before they start a cat fight and ruin their dresses.

"There you are!" Nico yelled. He was wearing a black button-up shirt with a pair of black paints.

He stopped short when he saw Thalia.

"You l-look a-amazing," he stuttered.

I heard Bianca tell her brother, "Smooth."

"Would you like to dance?" he asked.

Thalia looked as if she was going to faint, but she caught herself and said, "I'd love to."

Then they walked away. Well, Nico walked. Thalia, well, she practically skipped there.

"Awe. I think I'm going to cry," Bianca said grabbing a tissue. "My little brother's growing up."

"Are you wearing the waterproof mascara?" I asked her.

She nodded.

"Okay then. You're safe to cry," I said.

Then she left to got to the bathroom.

I looked around for Juniper. There! She was standing by the punch bowl talking with Grover.

"Awe," I said.

Suddenly there was a hand on top of my shoulder.

"I thought that was you," they whispered.

I turned around to see Percy.

"Hey," I said trying to sound calm.

"Would you like do dance?" he asked.

"S-sure," I stuttered.

I saw Bianca walk by.

"Smooth," she muttered.

I blushed as Percy took my hand and walked me over to the dance floor where Thalia and Nico were.

We danced for a while, but eventually we got tired. So we sat over by the refreshments were.

"I never got your last name," Percy said.

"Chase, Annabeth Chase," I told him.

"Well Ms. Chase, you are one beautiful girl," he said.

And then he kissed me. He kissed me! ME! Me! Am I the only one who finds that shocking? Me!

And let's just say that was probably the best night of my life. So far.
