Annabeth's POV:

Thalia never came back to school. It wasn't completely unusual but Annabeth had her suspicions. The last bell rang, school was over and she shut her locker door.

Luke was next to it, "Boo!" he laughed and her heart fluttered a bit.

"Hey what's up?" Annabeth said casually smiling, Luke smiled too.

"Well the sky is up but as for me I wanted to say hi, hi," Luke laughed, "So do you know what happened to Thalia?" He leaned one hand against a locker.

Annabeth shook her, "No idea, I'm gonna call her when I get home though." she smiled.

"Well when you get to her remind her about the secret Halloween party tomorrow in the woods in Long Island, your coming right." Luke put his hand on Annabeth shoulder and electricity went through her body, she kept smiling.

"Wouldn't miss it for the world, any theme referring to costume?" Luke thought for a second.

"Well the apparent theme for all girls on Halloween is to dress in a slutty costume, though I couldn't see you in something like that, your different from the other girls I've met." Annabeth didn't know if that was a compliment or an insult, she hoped it was a compliment.

"Yeah, see you there well I'd got to go." She smiled.

"Catcha later." he saluted her and walked in the other direction, Annabeth sighed, she secretly liked Luke a little, he was so nice kind and cute... She was getting side track and looked creepy standing alone in a hall. She began walking toward the student parking lot. She spotted her Dads old white Nissan and started looking for her she felt a presence behind her, she heard the crunch of a pebble behind her and roundhouse kicked Percy in the head, those self-defense lessons payed off.

He rubbed his temple, "Wow Annabeth at this rate one of these days you'll give me a brain tumor!" they both laughed, and Percy shifted uncomtorbly, "Annabeth can I ask you something, you're a girl..."

"No dip Sherlock." she giggled curious of what Percy was going to say.

"Well it's about Calypso..." Annabeth frowned he had a weird look on his face.

"What?" he was confused by her frowning face.

"Nothing go on." She said impatiently.

"Well I'm not sure about making her want to keep dating me threwout college you know? I mean do girls actually think long distance relationships are romantic like in the movies? Basically what im saying is I really am in love with Calypso but I'm wondered if this won't last in college? Will she break up with me then what would I do?" Percy was a dieting fish out of water, Annabeth tried to hide her scowling, Percy was her best friend but did he have to say love a billion times! Annabeth sighed.

"Percy, Calypso obviously loves you as much as you do and no one prefers long distance but you guys are... Great with each other, it's bound to last." Annabeth smiled Percy looked a bit reproved and hugged her.

"Thanks Wise girl you really always have the answers huh. Thanks." Annabeth hugged him back then released.

"No sweat it what are friends for, now are you going to the secret party in the woods tomorrow?" Annabeth changed the subject, Percy laughed.

"Of course, I'm bringing Calypso, doesn't everybody know about it?"

Annabeth nodded, "Pretty much."

Percy wiggled his eyebrows, "Speaking of dates, did any gentleman callers ask you to the party." Annabeth raised a brow.

"Gentleman Caller, did you just come back from the fifties?" Percy waved a hand at her.

"Shut up, but come on did anyone ask you out? Or did you ask anyone?" Annabeth kinda felt sad now, she had no one and was going alone.

"No, no one asked and I didn't ask." Percy frowned.

"That sucks, I bet I can convince Castor to go and he could be your date." Percy said nudging Annabeth trying to be a matchmaker.

"No thanks Percy I'll just go with Rachel and Piper." Annabeth smiled wearily, Percy had just become the biggest idiot in the galaxy.

"Ok well I gotta go to practice, save me a dance tomorrow night though!" He yelled jogging toward the gym.

"Will do, moron." Annabeth mumbled, she thought that Percy was being so clueless that he was rude, ugh boys are dumb Annabeth thought, dumb dumb dumb. She opened the door to the Nissan and drove home.

Annabeth turned on the car phone feature in the car, it didn't work so well always dropping calls.

"Call Thalia." Annabeth said making a right turn.

"Calling Tony's pizza." the car said in its computerised voice.

"No, Call Thalia!" Annabeth said more clearly.

"Calling Luke." the car responded she swore it was mocking her. Annabeth banged on the steering wheel.

"No don't call him, Call Tony's pizza!" she yelled.

"Calling Thalia." Annabeth sat up straighter, she out smarted the devil machine.

"Hello?" a cracky voice said, stupid car.

"Hey, what happened to you at school?" Annabeth said braking for a light.

"Umm... I..." she trailed off, the light turned green.

"Thalia what happened?" Annabeth said a bit nervous.

"It's complicated." Thalia sighed.

"Thalia..." Annabeth giving her the look through the car phone.

"Are you giving me the look?" Thalia said nervously, Annabeth scowled.

"Yes I am now tell me, Thalia I'm your best friend you can tell me anything and you know that." Annabeth said, Thalia sighed through the phone.

"I met my brother again."

"What!" Annabeth said taking her hands off the wheel a car pulled in front of her she swerved out-of-the-way.

"What just happened, are you okay?" Thalia said worried.

"I'm fine, speak."

"Well... remember that boy Jason Grace Percy was talking about, he sounded alot my brother who moved to California with my dad after the divorce so I went to Jupiter Academy said I was his second cousin and he needed to go too his great aunts funeral, I told him he freaked out a little then I took him to Burger king because I thought it would be sisterly, and we awkwardly talked for a bit." Annabeth was stunned.

"And how do you feel about all this?"

"I'm fine actually happy that he's back, I even invited him to the party in the woods."

Annabeth smiled, "Well I'm glad that your glad, but just remember this is gonna be harder on him then it is for you, he got to live in a mansion in California when he was three years old, that's what he remembers, it's gotta be hard for a stranger to pull him outta class and tell him that."

Thalia grunted over the phone. "I'm not a stranger I'm his sister."

"I know, I know" Annabeth said. "And how'd you know about the mansion?" Thalia asked puzzled.

"Thalia you've already told me years ago that your dad was a jerk who is the CEO of Zeus's skys. I can piece a puzzle together." Annabeth said a matter o factually.

"Clever girl."

"Of course I am." There was a bit of silence.

"So what you wearing to the Halloween party?" Thalia asked.

"I don't know I was thinking Joan o-"

"Don't you dare say Joan of Arch Annabeth Chase, the whole school knows your smarter than Einstein, but you don't need to wear a lame costume because it." Thalia laughed, Annabeth sighed.

"Then what am I supposed to wear a slut outfit, I don't want to demean myself that much." Thalia laughed again over the phone.

"Cmon you're not the sexy officer or sexy nurse Halloweener, but I can still help you not stick out like a lost nerd." Annabeth shook her head.

"So now I'm a nerd?" Annabeth asked.

"Your dam right, and you better embrace it, didn't you watch the season finally of king of the nerds?" Annabeth blushed.

"Yes, but why would you watch the show?"

"Because it's every nerd you see in high school and then you really get to see if they lead successful lives because they didn't peak in high school." Annabeth rolled her eyes.

"So what are you gonna wear?" "A gothic version of the mad hatter, from Alice in Wonderland, I'm gonna have red colored contacts and a fake but sharp-looking butter knife." Annabeth could tell Thalia smiling.

"Why do you always dress creepy?"

"Because that is what Halloween is all about, scaring little kids and eating the candy they leave behind," Thalia said, she wasn't joking though.

"So who are you going with?" she asked.

"Probably just Rachel and Piper since your taking your brother." It sounded weird to Annabeth, like 14 years ago Thalia was deprived of a dad and a brother, and 14 years later everything is all hunky-dory?

"Yeah pretty much, it's kinda weird though you saying my brother, like I have a brother again." Thalia said as Annabeth parked her car in a parking garage.

"Yeah it's kinda weird, sorry Thalia gotta go home, sadly, to my step mom and her kids, yay for me."

"Just think about the bright side tomorrow you won't have to see 'em for a whole night because you'll be enjoying Halloween."

"Praise St. Elmo's fire!" Annabeth giggled.

"Yes hooray for talking puppets, see ya."

"Bye." And Annabeth left the car walking toward her house, a party was a blessing to be with her friends and out of the bear trap staged as her home.
