Hey guys! Here's your story, just as I promised.

"Okay bye Annabeth! I would say good luck on that test, but you're a daughter of Athena. We all know you will ace it." I told Annabeth through the misty rainbow we were talking through.

"I am capable of getting a B you know," Annabeth laughed. "Bye talk to you later!" And with that I turned off my shower and watched Annabeths face fade away.

I turned away from the shower and walked to my den. I picked up my laptop and plopped down on my white couch that felt like a cloud.

It was now September and you could feel the chill in the air. Everyone was at college, like Percy and Annabeth, or a school. Well everyone except me, Nico, Clarisse, and a few others. But Chiron still insisted that we take 'regular' high school classes like every other teenager. But the only thing that mattered was Nico was here with me, going through the torture of Chiron's essays with me.

Our relationship was going great. Three months has passed and I find I love him more every day. Everyday has been a new memory for me and him.

When I was half way done with my essay, Nico comes barging in to my cabin.

"OH MY HADES!"

"Can I help you?" I asked him. "You know I could have been walking around nude in here." I said keeping my eyes on the screen the whole time.

"Did you not just here my, OH MY HADES!" He questioned me. I looked up at him and he looked really excited about something. There was a slip of paper in his hand and a gleam in his eye. He looked like that little kid I knew so long ago.

"Okay," I said sitting my laptop down, "What's going on?" I asked him smiling.

He came over to me and sat, cradling me while handing me that slip of paper. I looked down at what it said and gasped."You know how I told you I was taking an animal science class on Tuesday and Thursdays?" I nodded, gesturing him to go on, "well, don't take this the wrong way, but I lied. Actually I was taking a driver's ed class from Apollo." I smacked him on the arm.

"Why would you lie about something like that!" I asked him, pretending to be mad.

"I wanted to surprise you, of course. Now we can leave camp anytime we want, alone." He emphasized and I kissed him on the cheek.

"I see. But it makes me mad that you got yours first." I grumbled.

"But I'm older than you." He said with that smirk that made my heart skip a beat. It was true, he was older. But it doesn't seem right. I watched him grow from a myth-o-magic 11 year old boy into a hot, sweet 16 year old. Shouldn't I have some kind of credit for that?

"Just because I was stuck in a tree and I was a huntress for a little while." I argued.

"Well I was stuck in The Lotus Hotel before World War 2 even began." He went on, "but anyways, now I get to take us on our first date." He whispered in my ear and I fell apart. I guess I lost that argument.

"Is that an invitation?" I asked, totally forgetting our conversation from two minutes ago.

"Hmmmm, I guess it is." He smiled at me and kissed me on the nose. Well, it was a kiss on the nose, until I pulled myself slightly up and met his lips. We stayed like that until I heard my planner go off.

"Totally hate that thing," I said, breathing heavily. I got up and read the message. "Uggggg I have a class with Chiron in 10." I picked my tote bag.

"I guess that means I'm supposed to leave, right?" I gave a small smile and nodded. We walked out the door together.

"Persephone c'mon. I know your not to happy to be back here-"I tried to reassure my wife, but she interrupted.

"Your right I'm not! All I do here is sit alone while you go out and deal with the spirits. I hate it here!" she wailed at me about to cry.

"What would you like me to do? I have to deal with unruly spirits and the judgments and all that." I said trying to keep my voice even.

"I don't know! You're the big, important god why don't you figure out something." She barked at me and ran off crying.

I wonder…
