Happy 4th of July! I finally got to finish this chapter! YAY! Again, it's not the best bc I'm writing it in Percy's perspective, but deal with it. Also guys, don't forget to leave a review! I love reading what you guys have to say about my work. This is a short chapter, but I couldn't really think of anything else to write. If you guys have ANY requests for what I should write next, leave me a review or a message! ~ C
Chapter 7
xxPercyxx
Knowing what Thalia was capable of, scared me. Since she wasn't telling us what she was planning, I had every right to be nervous. Deciding that it probably didn't involve robbing a bank, I went over to Nico.
"Do you know anything about what Thals is planning?" I asked.
"Nope, she's been very secretive about it." Nico said.
Trying not to care, I kept my mouth shut, and walked in silence the rest of the way to the Grace house.
When we got there, Thalia went in first to make sure that her dad wasn't going to interrupt us. Sneaking past his office, we went up-stairs to Thalia's bedroom. Having never been in her room before, I was shocked to find it a light yellow color instead of her normal black.
"Thals..." I said.
"What Percy?" She snapped.
"Never mind, it's nothing." I gulped, deciding it was best to not comment.
"Her dad didn't want her to paint the room black," Nico whispered to me. "So he surprised her by making it yellow."
"That makes more sense." I replied, in an equally quite tone.
"We've learned to go with it." Grover said.
The look Thalia gave us, made us all shut up.
"Right, Grover and Nico, you guys remember how Annabeth is always saying that she wants to visit Greece?" Thalia asked them. "We are going to make that happen!"
"Umm, Thalia?" Nico said slowly. "And how exactly are we doing to do that?"
"We Nico will be bringing a bit of Greece here to New York!" She exclaimed.
Grover groaned. "How will we do that?"
"Isn't it obvious? Grover, you will start by bringing 'ambrosia and nectar' the food and drink of the gods. Nico and Percy, you guys will begin to decorate the room as if it were still the Greek times." Thalia said cheerfully.
"And what will you do Thals?" I asked.
"I will do the most important job! Supervise all of you, and get Annabeth here."
"So basically, you are dumping all the work on us, and just waiting at the door for her to show up?" Nico muttered.
"Yep."
Nico was still whining to Thalia when I dragged him downstairs to start setting up.
"How are we going to do this?" I asked Nico.
"Well, I guess we can take some fabric and then…" He went on and on.
About a half-hour later, it looked like a Greek palace. After admiring our work, we went to see if it met Thalias' 'standards'. We were nearing the front door when we heard voices. Pausing, we listened to find out that Annabeth had already arrived. Rushing back to the room, we waited for Thalia and Annabeth to walk around the corner. "Oh my gods!"
