Wow I just want to say THANK YOU! Your reviews really make me smile and add a happiness boost to my day. Even on the days when I have a test and 2 stacks of homework you guys make me happy:) . And for all of you guys who say "Ewwww Nico and Thalia are cousins," well actually not really. It says in the Last Olympian that gods don't have genes and so none of the campers are really related. Okay read and review please! I still don't own Percy Jackson or any of the Olympians. I also don't own 'A year without rain' or Selena Gomez. Gosh, is that really necessary?

It's not that I've ever really thought about Thalias room before. I guess I just thought of It to look black and red, her favorite colors, and have random crud thrown everywhere. All I know was in my mind; it definitely didn't even resemble this
Her room was a medium sized room with light blue walls. Her bed, desk, and vanity were gold while her sheets, chairs and other stuff were white. There were two windows on the long wall on each side of her bed too. It was even tidy and there wasn't anything on the floor. It looked more like a beach condo or a Aphrodite girls bedroom than a Thalia bedroom.
While I was still laughing, Thalia came over and hit me with a pillow, making me fall.
"Owww! What was that for?" I asked in between laughs.
"I told you it was girly, and you still laugh at me? Really?" she huffed and I, being my genius self, said sorry.
"I guess I won't hurt you then. But Im getting in bed, you too?" she questioned. When I nodded, she threw me a pair of sweats and a t-shirt from under her bed.
"Hey! Where did you get find these and why were they under your bed?" I asked and she blushed, lookinglike I caught her red handed.
"Do you remember when we went swimming at the lake? Well you changed at my cabin and you left them. Now why they're there, well when Im lonely I cuddle with them." She mumbled and got even redder. That made me smile. What she didn't know was I kept an old headband of hers at my place that I, don't laugh, have displayed in my room.
"Well then I guess I will go change," I replied, walking to her bathroom still smiling.
10 minutes later we were just about to get in bed. Thalia was wearing these short PJ shorts and a tank top with me in sweats and a t.
"Whoa, what a relief to get out of those dress clothes," She said as we were pulling down her sheets.
"I know, I feel free, "I mentioned, making her laugh.
She turned out the lights, and we jumped under the covers. She cuddled up next to me, putting her head on my chest, and sighed.
"Im hoping that is a contempt sigh." I whispered
"Of course it is. I mean, Im pretty upset about you leaving, but I know it has to be done. She replied and I snuggled closer, "Well Im about to fall asleep. I didn't notice how tired I was," she continued. "Goodnight, I love you." I whispered in her ear, and she gave me a kiss. "Right back at you," she said against my lips. And I fell asleep listening to the sound of Thalia breathing.
When I woke up I didn't know where I was. All I knew was a) its sunny, and b)there something on my chest. I opened my eyes to figure out these mysteries, and saw Thalia asleep on my chest. I laughed at myself for being so stupid. How could I ever forget last night. Even though it was depressing, it was still fun; Especially after the date ha-ha.
After 20 minutes of thinking and watching sleeping Thalia, she started to move around and twitch. I let a laugh escape my mouth, and she opened her eyes, probably looking for a intruder. But then she saw my beautiful sleepy face, and calmed down.
"Uggggg, so tired." She whined.
"Well, how about I go and make my signature bacon, and you sleep a little while longer." I offered and she smiled.
"Sounds wonderful," she muttered before lying back down and closing her eyes. I got up, moving her body gently off mine, and started fidgeting around in the kitchen. I grabbed all the ingredients and started reading directions off the back of boxes.
I was in the kitchen doing the dishes, when Thalia finally got up. There was bacon, biscuits, and waffles on the table and she smiled
"Wow!" she laughed, "Nico, this is great since Im pretty hungry.. Your pretty handy there in the kitchen." She continued, sitting down and taking some food for herself.
"Well thank you for the compliment," and I sat. During breakfast we talked and ate, like normal people.
"That was pretty good, if I do say so myself." I commented and she agreed, "Well Im gonna go shadow travel back home. You know, change and stuff." She nodded a big piece of bacon in her mouth."I will be back soon so we can spend all day together," I groaned playfully.
"Okay, I guess I will get ready for a terrible day." She laughed. I kissed her goodbye, and I was off, but not to my cabin….

After I got done, I threw the plates in the sink and walked off. I went in my so called room and dug through my closet until I found skinny jeans and my camp t-shirt. I sat at my vanity and put on the little makeup I do have.
When I was done 20 minutes later, I wondered what Nico was up to and turned on some good 'ole TV. It usually didn't take this long for him to get ready. Oh well, I mentally thought and watched Degrassi.
After that episode went off 25 minutes later, I heard Nico come in.
"Where have you been?" I exclaimed.
"Well I had to clean some stuff up back at my cabin and get dressed and stuff like that." He answered with the look puppy dog look from last night. Who could resist that?
"You better be glad I love you." I grumbled and he chuckled, grabbing my hand. And so the day began.

The two of us sat at Thalias tree, watching the sun set. I could practically see Apollo driving back to Olympus and Artemis taking over. It was right after dinner and a Sunday night peace was set over the camp.
Our day could be summed up as pegasi riding, talking, kissing, laughing, canoeing, and more kissing; a near perfect day. The only problem was my dad messaged me during lunch, explaining about how he made a list of things for me to do and he wanted me by noon tomorrow. I finally know how Persephone feels I guess.
"You know, this day has gone by too fast," she spoke quietly.
"I know, but at least my going away is not more than three months." I said kissing her neck, and she sighed.
"I guess you're right, but it's still three months without you. It's like three months without rain." I know I probably shouldn't have, but I laughed. "You've been listening to way to much Selena Gomez" I mentioned and she shrugged, smiling.
"Hey, Thalia?" I asked after a couple of minutes of silence. When she looked at me, I continued. "Since tonight's my last night here for a while, will you do me the honor of staying the night with me?"
"Well of course I will!" she laughed. "Have you packed your bags yet?" She asked after a moment.
"Ummmm no." I said, and she giggled.
"I guess that can be added to our to-do-list for tonight." She said.
"We have a to-do-list?" I asked and she nodded.
"It's all up here." She motioned to her head. "I've got a lot planned." She said seductively. Why when your 16, do u have to be so hormonal?
The sun had set long ago and was now replaced with a crescent moon. When she said that, I got up, dusted my pants off casually, and started sprinting to my cabin. It heard her coming up behind me, both of us laughing.
When we made it to the cabin finally, we were both out of breath. She was sitting on my patio chair on my deck while I unlocked my door. When it was open, I picked her up, and started carrying her bridal style inside.
"You do realize I can carry myself, right?" she asked and I laughed. I put on my smirk and said, "Why would you walk if you had someone to carry you?" and with that she agreed.
When she demanded to be let down, she ran out of my den, to another room. When she came back, she had a suitcase in her hand. The crazy thing was is that I haven't seen that thing since I was 13. She threw it across the den and climbed on the couch, standing up. She pulled me to her and we started off where we left off last night.
