Hey guys! I decided to re-write this chapter because truthfully, after I read it back over, I found it to be really sucky.

So without further adieu, here's the edited chapter!

G is for Gems

Thalia and Percy are walking through the mall because Percy promised Thalia that he would buy her anything she wanted since it was her birthday. Boy, was that the wrong thing to say to her. Hades, it's the wrong thing to say to any girl. So now, it was lunchtime and already, Percy had bought Thalia ten different things from ten different shops. They had arrived there at the crack of dawn, even before the mall had even opened. Percy was exhausted from carrying all the bags for four hours. Percy collapsed onto one of the food court seats. He then dropped the bags and sighed in relief as he felt his arms feel much lighter.

"Hey! Be careful with those! They're very fragile!" Thalia scolds him. Percy rolls his eyes as he rubs his sore arms.

"Yeah, I know. The nine pieces of fabric are definitely fragile." Percy tells her, rolling his eyes.

"Oh no honey, I was talking about these little fragile things." Thalia tells him, walking over to him and starts to rub his biceps. Percy grabs Thalia's arms and pulls her down onto his lap. Thalia gasps when he begins to kiss her on the back of her neck.

"Percy, stop, we're in a public place." Thalia tells him holding in a moan. Percy stops and Thalia gets off of him and sits right next to him. Percy grabs Thalia's right hand and kisses the ring on her ring finger.

"Well, I think you owe me a favor since I bought you this $1,500 ring for you, shouldn't I?" he asks her. She laughs at him, and pulls her hand away from him.

"No you don't, it's my birthday after all. Besides, don't you remember saying that you would buy me anything?" she asked him raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I did, but I never said you could buy over $2,500 dollars worth of stuff! I at least deserve something for buying you gifts with my hard-earned money."
Percy tells her. Thalia looks at the 14kt white golden ring again, looking at the three circular blue diamonds surrounded by smaller white diamonds. She then leans over and gives him a kiss.

"There. There's your gift for getting me such a beautiful ring." Thalia tells him.

"Well it only seemed right since the gems make your eyes shine brighter than the gems on the ring." Percy tells her.

"Thanks, now let's head home. I'm beat." Thalia tells him. Percy gives her a look of disbelief and shock.

"You're beat? You're beat?! You're not the one who's had to carry nine different shopping bags for the past fours hours. Can we at least stay and get some lunch. I haven't had anything to eat since breakfast." Percy complains.

"Okay, but know this: the sooner we get home, the sooner we get privacy to continue my favor to you." Thalia said slyly. Thalia laughs when she sees his eyes light up and immediately get up from his seat, grab the nine bags and run towards the exit.

Thalia chuckles and looks down at her ring and smiles. All of this happened because of gems.

So how do you guys like it? Good? Bad? Great? Awful?
