A/N: Sorry i haven't been updating, but life's pretty buisy right now. I'm also sorry this chapter is pretty short, I swear more interesting stuff is to come!

"So what do we do now?" Leo asked. "We won't know who's going to Olympus for another two months, so are we just going to sit in a field for two months?"

"We should go back to camp," Jason suggested. I nodded in agreement.

"Which camp?" Reyna asked, looking between the two of us. We glanced at each other, but Dom interrupted our thought process.

"Which of you is in charge anyway?" he asked. I groaned, figuring this would be a loaded question. Mingled shouts of "Percy" and "Jason" confirmed my suspicions.

On the upside, the divide wasn't purely Greek/ Roman. Most of the Greeks were on my side, but Leo and that brown haired girl were both on Jason's with the first legion except for Bobby and Gwen.

"Guys!" Annabeth protested, but was ignored as the argument continued. I glanced at Jason, and he nodded.

"Everybody shut up!" we both yelled, forcing the bickering campers into silence once more.

"We'll both be in charge," I said quickly, hoping this would calm the fighting for the minute.

"Yeah, co-consuls," Jason agreed. Everyone agreed. On the upside, it looked like we were back to not fighting. On the downside, everyone now seemed to think Jason and I were going to tell them what to do.

"We're all going back to Camp Half Blood," I said, and Jason nodded. I smiled glad I'd been right about what he was thinking. "So we can work on…Leo?" Leo nodded. "Leo's boat until we need to go to Greece." I glanced at Jason.

"So, uh, let's just stay here for the rest of today and try to get to know each other a bit and we'll set out tomorrow," he added. The Greeks and the Romans regarded each other skeptically, and I had a feeling the getting to know each other might be a little while in coming. So naturally, I turned to Jason.

"So what kind of stuff do you like to do?" I asked, hoping this might get conversation going. On the upside, this did manage to get the two lines to move slightly more towards each other and start talking a little. On the downside, I'm pretty sure that was the stupidest, most awkward question I'd ever asked. Jason looked at me slightly skeptically.

"Uh…I don't know…stuff?" he replied as we walked slightly away from the main group, hoping that us not being there would force them to mingle among themselves. I nodded, trying to think of things that I had in common with him.

"What's the plan for the whole Greece thing?" I settled on.

"Oh, you don't know yet?" he asked. I shrugged. I mean, Annabeth had pretty much explained, but so far, I think Greece was all we had in common. "Well, we're going to leave in early June to get to Greece by the summer solstice on Leo's flying boat, the Argo II. Rachel figures that the seven half-bloods will become evident by the time we leave." I nodded.

"So how is Rachel?" I asked. Man, this was awkward.

"She's interesting," Jason said. "I'd never met an Oracle before. Of course, she's at school right now. How was camp?" I considered slapping myself. Duh, we could talk about the camps. Wow, I really was a Seaweed Brain.

"Well, pretty good after Lupa decided not to kill me." Jason laughed.

"That's always good," he replied. "So your test went well?" I shook my head.

"Oh no way, nothing around me ever goes normally," I replied, earning another laugh from Jason. "No, but I stopped Lycon from attacking Lupa…"

"Lycon?" Jason asked. "How'd you do that?" I laughed.

"Silver dinner knives."

"Oh, very smooth," Jason teased.

"Because, comparatively, you had such a great plan," a new voice announced as a black haired girl dressed in silvery clothes with a sliver circlet in her hair walked out of the woods and ruffled Jason's hair. He frowned slightly.

"Well, the fire thing was working," he protested indignantly, but then he smiled and gave her a hug. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, if you're having a powwow, I figured the hunters should show up," Thalia replied, turning to me. I smiled slightly.

"Hey Thalia," I said. She punched my arm, and I winced slightly to appease her. No need to remind her that I was invincible and therefore that didn't really hurt, because it'd just make her madder.

"Don't do that again Jackson," she growled. I grinned at her.

"Yes, mom," I replied. She frowned, then laughed and pulled me into a hug.

"Don't push your luck, Seaweed Brain, I'm still mad at you on Annabeth's behalf," Thalia announced after she released me.

"Wouldn't dream of it, Pinecone Face," I replied jokingly. She laughed. Jason glanced between the two of us as though we were mildly insane, which I think the argument could be made that we were. But only mildly.

"So," Thalia smiled at the two of us. "What have you guys been up to?" Jason and I exchanged a glance.

"Well…"
