Instead of making it 15 chapters for one day i made it 14, enjoy! :)

Nico's POV

"Thalia..." I whispered as I saw her eyes peering through the bush opposite to us. Thunder struck the branches which the kids from the Apollo cabin were from. Percy looked at me quizzically then realized what happened.

"And Noah!" he exclaimed quietly, "lets go!"

Percy, the Stolls and the others all charged out distracting them while I shadow traveled to the flag, grabbed it then shadow traveled back to the middle of the forest where Chiron was standing.

I held up the flag triumphantly as the flag turned black and a picture of a scull replaced the trident. Chiron blew on his conch shell horn and the game of capture the flag ended.

Our team ran out and congratulated me.

"Good job ghost king!" called Annabeth as she came running towards us.

"Not bad hero." adds Thalia smirking. I could tell I was blushing so I just lowered my head and said thanks. Percy seemed to notice it, because her messed up my hair to hide my blushing.

"Haha good to have a shadow traveler on our team, Death Boy."

Thalia's POV

While Percy was talking to Nico I dragged Annabeth aside.

"Hey!" she squealed. I put my hand over her mouth.

"Shh! Listen I need to talk to you during the sing a long. Meet me at Zeus' Fist. Cover for me till then." I hissed taking my hand of her mouth.

She nodded and mouthed an okay. With that taken care of I ran of to the meeting place to think things through.

Annabeth's POV

I hated lying to Percy, but it was for Thalia so I had to do it.

"Hey Annabeth. Where's Thalia?" asked Nico. Shiz.

"Um she went to get something from her cabin. She wanted us to go to the sing a long first." I lied.

"Okay then, may I walk you to the sing a long?" joked Percy. Shiz.

"Uh I'll just change out of my armor then meet you there okay?" Percy looked at me like I was acting strange, which I was. I kissed him, making him temporarily forget about my strange behavior.

" You were good out there too hero." I told him kissing him again. He smiled.

"See you later." I waved and ran to my cabin.

I quickly changed out of my armor and waited till it was quiet outside, then crept towards the forest. As soon as I thought the coast was clear I sprinted to Zeus' Fist. When I got there, there was no one in sight.

"Thalia?" I hissed, "it's Annabeth." Suddenly someone or something jumped out of a tree in front of me.

"Argh!" I screamed.

"Shh, it's me Thalia." she whispered.

"Stop doing that! You scared me." I hissed. She shrugged and looked around.

"I think we can talk normally." she said. I nodded.

"So. Nico, huh?" I asked. She looked miserable.

"Yep. I think I really like him! But I think he just thinks of me as a friend."

"Maybe, but if you drop a hint then maybe he'll realize he likes you too."

"Sigh. Maybe but why would he go for a girl like me?"

I thought for a bit. Thalia had a point. She wasn't like other girls who were interested in make-up and all that. That's when it hit me.

"Because your not like other girls. Come on Thals, lets go drop off your armor at your cabin then head to the sing a long."

Percy's POV

I was dully singing along to the Apollo cabin when Nico nudged me.

"Hey sorry can I talk to you about Thalia again?" he whispered.

"Sure. We can talk after the sing a long" I relied.

"No I meant like now. Thalia and Annabeth are here yet, so, yeah." he explained sheepishly.

I sighed. "Okay let's try and sneak out now."

Slipping out wasn't too hard and soon we were walking through the forest.

"I don't know why. She's older than me, the type of girl who doesn't care about dating and stuff, and yet I still really like her."

I thought about it. Thalia was different. But then again Annabeth used to say we were so alike we would either be best friends or try killing each other.

And then again Nico was different. When you start calling the Underworld your home and your neither Hades or the dead, your different.

"Well Nico, your different too. I'm different. And different people have different tastes. Don't worry about man."

"And I'm two years younger than her! No way would she like a little kid like me!" he cried.

I couldn't help but laugh. In reality Nico was supposed to be over 70 and Thalia about 20.

"Haha." he retorted sarcastically, "you know what I mean."

"Come on man, I've seen girls wink at you. And Annabeth's said that he could see you with a girl. So don't worry so much."

"Fine. But I still doubt she'll ever like me."

I shrugged. At that moment I noticed we had wandered to Zeus' Fist, "come on let's get back before a lot people start to notice we're gone."

Juniper's POV

I saw all, I heard all.

I didn't mean to eavesdrop... at first. But they were my friends. I was going to come out of my bush, and into nymph form, but Thalia look miserable and it seemed like it was a private conversation, so I just let it be.

I couldn't help but over hear the name Nico, and the rest of their conversation. I did. I heard and understood.

I knew what it was like to like someone and feel unsure about myself.

Then when the guys came. I couldn't help myself. Once I heard the name Thalia, I listened in the find out what they were talking about.

I tell you it was worth it. Only how they find out about each others feelings is left. And as Annabeth would say, we need a plan worthy of Athena.

Plan worthy of Athena? How will Juniper interfere or will this relationship work out by themselves?
I don't really have anything else to say except REVIEW! PLEASE?
