Okay so here's the next chapter! Since thanksgiving is coming up this Thursday, I've decided to give thanks. I give thanks for my many great reviews, for not being grounded from the computer, and my amazing fans. This is a idea from a reviewer who I think should remain anonymous. This involves some Tratie for our Travis and Katie lovers too! But thanks again for the idea and here's your story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson or anything in this story. LITERALLY!

It was the day after Christmas and I was bored. VERY BORED. Annabeth and Thalia had gone shopping in the city in Thals new car, Percy was sword fighting in the arena he had apparently 'missed so much' , and the Stoll's were spending time with there ladies or something.
So here I was, sitting on my couch playing with all of the stuff I got for Christmas. I really didn't get anything that great besides my camera. This day depressed me every year because the holiday spirit was dying, the snow was melting, and everyone was leaving to go back to school. But I decided at that moment I wasn't gonna just waste it. I grabbed my nearby Canon EOS 60D and walked outside to see what I could find.
The first thing I saw really caught my eye. Me, Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia had made a snowman in my front yard yesterday after presents. Sadly, it was slowly melting and the eye made out of a rock fell out. It looked pretty sad, so I snapped a quick pic and started walking.
I then came up to the arena and saw Percy. I guess he thought no one was there, so he was talking to himself.
"Take that you idiot dummy! I bet that hurt! You will die a slow painful death just like Kronos!"
Add a few evil laughs and some swipes at the head, and you have the horrifying Percy a lot of dead monsters could identify. I almost ruined the moment by laughing, but I held back so I could take a picture. I caught him in the right in the middle of an evil cackle.
"That's a keeper," I whispered to myself and walked off.
I then took a walk past the armory and to the stables. There I heard laughing and some long pauses. Me, being my nosey self, tip toed off to where the noise was coming from. I peeped in (there, I felt like Peeping Tom) and saw Travis and Katie flirting and being all cutesy or whatever. Gods, is this what me and Thalia look like?
"Travis, do you really have to do that to the poor pegasi? I mean that's kinda abuse,"
I looked over to the closest pegasi to see them covered in pink glitter and there stables with my little ponies everywhere. I wondered where Travis got all that stuff, unless him and Travis dress up as Barbie's at night or something. That would be creepy and I just got a mental image. I snapped a picture and then turned back towards the couple. I saw them in the middle of sharing spit, and inwardly puked.
I help out my camera and snapped the picture, my eyes closed the whole time. Surprisingly, it was a pretty good picture. I ran off while I still was sane, to the Big House.
Inside I saw Chiron and Mr. D sitting at there normal table playing checkers. Wow exciting stuff. I clicked the picture and walked off to Thalias pine tree.
When I had made it, I sat down and looked up at the trees. To think, this use to make up my Thalia. Well, I guess me being a happy little boy wasn't to much weirder. I held the camera in front of my face and made sure to include the tree. I took the picture and smiled. I think this would make Thalia happy when I tell her I was thinking about her and came here.
I looked out over the camp and saw how pretty it looked with the white snow over it. Wow, did I really just say that? Anyways, I took the picture and walked slowly back home, taking a picture of anything I could find that was either funny or pretty. I couldn't wait to show Thalia what I did today.
