I know it has been a long time since I have last updated, but I was extremely stressed with all of my exams and had no time to write.
Disclaimer: I do not own PJO or HOO...because Lilly Lockwood would be a reach character if I did.
Lilly's P.O.V
I must have looked like a goldfish, because Piper was laughing her ass off as she put some of the clothes back into the cupboard.
"What do you mean 'give me a makeover worthy of Mr Di Angelo'?" I said while I was trying to hide the blush that covered most of my face. Piper may not be a daughter of Athena, but she definitely has brains. As soon as she glared at me with her wide kaleidoscope eyes I knew that there was no point even trying to hide it. I gave in to Piper's demands and let her get to work on me. "I have a makeover session planned for just before the ball next week, so I'm only going to style your hair and change your clothes," she said as she parted my hair on the left side of my head.
Once she had finished with my hair she gave me a pair of black leggings and a black vest to put on. While I was changing into those she rummaged through another one of her draws and pulled out a denim miniskirt and a matching jacket.
"Piper McLean, I am NOT wearing a miniskirt!" I Protested.
"Its not like your not gonna be wearing anything underneath it," she said as she sauntered over to me with a pair of black converse high tops. I reluctantly put the clothes on, before she put a deep purple flower in my hair.
Hazel's P.O.V
Once Nico had shadow traveled with Percy I went to the pavilion to see if Chiron was there. As I walked into the pavilion all I could hear was the campers, girls in particular talking about Thalia. I kept a straight face and walked towards the main table, where Chiron and Mr.D were looking over the room.
"Chiron, I've just come to inform you that Percy is going to spend the days with Thalia on Olympus," I said as I bowed to Chiron and Mr.D. Once I was sure they had heard what I had said I went back to the cabin to wait for Nico. I saw Lilly and Piper coming out of the Aphrodite cabin, and boy does Lilly look amazing. They motioned for me to continue walking so I just went back to the cabin and placed Saphira in her travel cot by the table in the living room. I went into the kitchen and saw Nico...Fixing a bottle?!
"Nico," I said as I approached him cautiously, "Why are you making a bottle?" He ignored me and continued working. As an awkward silence settled over us I could hear a soft patter of water, almost like raindrops. I walked over to the other side of the island where he was working, only to discover that he was...crying.
"Nico, why are you crying?" I asked as I pulled the bottle from his hands and pulled him into a hug. He hugged me back, and it is at times like this that I remember he is only 15 years old physically.
"I'm scared that Thalia won't wake up," he said as he moved away from me and picked up the bottle, "I've lost one sister already, I don't want to lose another." It was at that moment I realized how much he actually saw Percy and Thalia as his family.
"Nothing is going to happen to Thalia," I said to him as he finished wiping the tears that had escaped from his obsidian eyes, and as he went to interrupt I put a finger over his mouth, "'Cause if he does, Dad and Thanatos will have no choice other than to give her back." When he smiled I grabbed the bottle and ran into the living room, only to have it snatched out o my hand by Nico, who was sitting in the chair with Saphira in his arms. Once Saphira was fully fed and sleeping again we were watching TV, only to be interrupted by an Iris message from Chiron, who was currently in his centaur from in front of the big house.
"Sorry to disturb you Mr Di Angelo, Ms Levesque, but it has come to my attention that we have an increasing number of demigods under the age of three," he said as his mysterious glint could be seen in his eyes, " And I thought that I could ask The children of the big three to open up a Daycare, since you are looking after Saphira." He looked at us expectantly and I figured that he thought we were going to say no.
"What does that mean for our camp activities?" Nico asked as he actually contemplated Chiron's idea.
"You would be excused from any camp activities that fall when your shifts are, and during capture the flag the daycare will be run by the nymphs and the nature spirits, so that the children can slowly adjust to the more mythical creatures in our world." Nico and I looked at each other, it sounds like a really good idea, but would Percy and Thalia be up to it, since I would be going back to Camp Jupiter after the ball for the defeat of Gaia.
"And I have already spoken to Perseus, who actually gave me this idea, as he felt it would be a good way for the younger demigods to be given a more child friends lifestyle." Chiron said, before we agreed. We were going to be setting up the daycare with Lilly and Piper tomorrow, since Thalia was going to be brought out of her coma the day after, and she was going to need the day with Lord Apollo, to ensure that there were no unfortunate drawbacks that lots of mortals suffered, and Percy wanted to be by her side all the way through it.
That's it for this chapter. How is the preparation for the daycare going to turn out? Is Thalia going to com put of her coma without any lasting ailments? and is Lilly going to get the man of her dreams?
R&R :)
