Nico POV

"If you need more proof of the gods' existence, or, just curious, we'll be down in the Quidditch pitch tonight and tomorrow morning, training," Chiron didn't need to yell over the school this time. It was dead silent. "Any questions?" Three hesitant hands raised.

"Zacharias?" Hannah called.

"Why did Susan's sword pass through my hand?" a blonde boy asked from the table that Hannah, Susan, and Justin came from.

"Come on, Susan! We do not attack mortals! You know that!" Thalia punched her shoulder.

"I am very disappointed in you." I shook my head.

"I didn't attack him! He just reached out and poked it! It isn't like we all have nice hidden weapons like Percy and Thalia."

"Hey! We each have a bow and quiver like that!" Hannah pulled out her amulet and pressed the center, changing it to a full bow and quiver full of arrows. "And don't you have a staff like that?"

"Our weapons are made of celestial bronze," Luna sighed, casting a silencing charm over Susan, Thalia, Hannah, and I. "It's one of the few materials in our world that can hurt or kill monsters, immortals, and demigods alike. Now," she glared at us, "are you four done?" we nodded, and, with a flick of Luna's wand, were free.

"Bushy haired brunette from the group with the lion?" Thalia pointed to Hermione.

"Thalia, that's Hermione Granger, and the house if Gryffindor," Annabeth rubbed her temples at her friend's disregard for names.

"Yeah, Hermione!"

"What do all of your titles mean?" she asked.

"Those of us who fought in the titan Kronos in the last war have the title 'hero of Olympus,'" Annabeth explained. "Because the main battle we fought in was the Battle of Manhattan, were we defended Olympus under Percy's charge. After the battle, the gods called the main leaders of the battle to the throne room.

"Thalia, Percy, Grover Underwood, a satyr friend of ours, and I all got rewards. Thalia's dad promised to help in filling Artemis' hunt, I get to remodel Olympus' buildings, Grover became the Lord of the Wild, and they….. agreed to acknowledge the minor gods and their kids at camp, including Hades, and to claim all demigods by their 13th birthday for Percy," Annabeth hesitated in saying Percy's gift. She must still be shocked that he gave up immortality for her.

"I'm the lieutenant of Artemis' hunt, so that should explain my gift and title," Thalia said, playing with a strand of her hair. She looks so cute doing that… WHAT THE HADES AM I THINKING! SHE'S A HUNTER! YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, NICO!


(More of Nico's ranting on himself follows. So we switch to THALIA'S POV)

"Annabeth and I both carried the sky for awhile, and I swam in the River Styx, so I can't be hurt anywhere but my mortal spot."

"Like this!" I lunged and tried to stab Percy in the chest, but my spear just bounced off. Gods, this floor is hard! I swear, I almost broke my arm when I fell.

"I'll never get used to that," Annabeth sighed. "Thanks again, Nico!"

"Why, you're welcome!" he smirked that adorable smirk….. ADORABLE! BAD THALIA BAD! YOU'RE A HUNTER! YOU THINK OF NICO AS A BROTHER…


(Aw, Thalia does the same as Nico. So, as a final change, I'm switching to PERCY'S POV)

"That was sarcastic."

"I know."

"Anyways…."I stepped between them. "Clarisse?"

"I'm the slayer of the Drakon, the dragon's older brother."

"AND WE," Travis and Conner yelled, barely letting her finish, "are just such awesome pranksters that we got an award."

"Malfoy?" Luna all but sneered. Wow, she only does that to Drew, daughter of Aphrodite. She must really hate him.

"IF the gods exist," he smirked, "then why do they let awful things happen?"


A/N: Before anyone types anything, THIS WILL NOT BE A THALICO fic! But I need pairings if I'm going to try with a bit of romance. NOTHING WILL COME OUT OF THIS EXCEPT MAYBE A BIT OF A CRUSH OR SIBLING FEELINGS! Isn't Malfoy an idiot. Wow, I had to do that. And, best part, I don't have finals for another two years! But I won't be updating a ton until June 10, when I get out of school. Anyway, I need you guys to do three favors for me:

review, because I'm going through a bit of a hard time.

tell me what pairings you want

tell me who the champion should be

REVIEW AND TELL ME ANYTHING! PS: Updates may slow a bit because SAILING SEASON'S STARTING! AHHH! YOU DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA HOW EXCITED I AM!

CheyRainAwesomeness: Thanks, I always just imagined them as twins….. Oops….. But, you have to admit, they do act like twins. And, keep in mind, I wrote the first part of this as if it were before The Last Olympian, but changed part way through, and I don't want to take them out and put in other people. I mean, who'd want Drew there? Exactly.

Jessjess98: I'm very insane. And I know that. It's nice to finally know someone who will outwardly admit that they're insane, besides my best friends! AND THANKS SO MUCH! Keep reading this to your friends.

Posiden'sdaughter: I know…. But that makes the story interesting. You'll see. Imagine Rita Sketter finding out.

Ninja: Yes, there will be some awesomeness coming up between the Stoll brothers and the Weasley twins that will make Draco Malfoy go running to his Daddy and everyone else tremble in fear.

xCazx19: Thanks for reviewing. And you don't want to know what Peeves did to Hades. Its so bad that I haven't even come up something awesome enough for him to do. I love Peeves. He's awesome. You'll think the same thing after you read some Nico-Peeves bonding time….. I'm laughing just thinking about my plan.
