Mo POV:
They had only been gone for an hour and I was already worrying. Sure, I knew I was supposed to "cover for them" but how? If anybody found out what they were doing I would be killed, then they would be killed, then all the demi-gods would be killed, then the gods would be killed, then the world would be killed. End of story. Hooray!
Not. (Mo does that a lot in her story. Hehe)
"Hey, Mo!" I jumped 15 feet in the air.
Spinning around I hissed, "What!" then realized it was Garret.
"Oh," I mumbled trying not to be anxious and annoyed by his very presence. "Sorry."
"Have you seen Kara?" my red alert sirens went off in my head. "There's something I need to ask her about."
"Um, it's 1 in the morning, smart one. Why would she be up? Nobody's up at this hour."
Garret raised his eyebrow and then gestured at me. Right, I was up in this hour.
"Ok, let me rephrase that. Nobody with sense would be at this hour. But I don't have any, so I'm up. And apparently nor do you. Now if you'll excuse me…" I pushed past the genuinely confused Garret and ran toward the edge of camp in pure panic. Hopefully he had bought what I said, or the world would be in big trouble.
I wished with everything I had that Theo was here. He was my best friend while I was still at camp. I could still see his shiny red hair blowing the wind as he gave me a reassuring, dimpled smile. He winked one if icy blue eyes at me and then, together we raced into battle. That was the last time I ever saw him.
I plopped down and leaned against a tree. I missed Theo. A lot. I hoped this would all work out so I could see him again. Sam, Kara, don't mess this up.
Sam POV:
"Um, Chiron?" I said. "I hate to brake it to you, but it's one in the morning. Everyone's asleep."
He blinked like he just realized it. "Oh, my. Right, well you can sleep here tonight. There's an empty bedroom in the big house. I'll lead there." And with that, he led us back into cool night.

After Kara and I got into pjs and brushed out teeth, we settled into our separate beds. Once I had gotten comfortable, I peered over at her to see how she was doing. Her face was still green.
"Hey, are you still nervous?" I asked.
She blinked once then turned to look at me. "No, why?"
"Don't give me that crap." I said accusingly. "Your face is the perfect shade of Christmas tree."
She touched her face while it changed colors. "Really?"
"No," I smirked. "Now it's the other Christmas color. I didn't know you had such a colorful personality."
"Shut up!" She shouted and chucked one of the pillows on her bed at me. I just laughed. Soon, we both were cracking up like idiots. It took a while for us to calm down.
"You're face is red now too." Kara pointed out. "We match."
I let out another little giggle. "I guess we do."
After a few minutes we had completely stopped laughing, and were both looking up at the ceiling over our beds.
"Hey Sam?" Kara asked. "Are you nervous?"
"Me?" I asked.
"No, the other Sam in the room." She snorted.
"Why do you ask?" I looked over at her.
"I mean, you're seeing Nico again for the first time. You don't know if he still likes you, or he even thinks what you said was true. Doesn't that make you a little nervous?"
"Well if I wasn't nervous before, I'm nervous now." I mumbled.
"Sorry."
"It's ok. Your right. I am really nervous."
"Good so I'm not the only one. That makes me feel a lot better."
I grinned at her. "Glad I can help."
She smiled back. "Goodnight Sam."
"Night Christmas face."
She snorted and rolled to her side, facing away from me.
"Night Kara." I rolled to my side and closed my eyes.

The next morning, when I got out of the shower, I went to get my clothes that I had stuffed in my backpack. But guess who was sitting on my bed instead of the black bag I had set on there.
"Good morning Sam."
"Hey, Kara." I said. "When did you wake up?"
"When you got in the shower." She had a huge grin on her face.
"Um, where is my bag?"
"You don't need it." Her smile got bigger. "I'm gonna choose what you dress in today."
"Why?..."
"Because your seeing Nico for the first time in like forever. I'm gonna make you look like a girl."
"Thanks, but no thanks." I grumbled.
"Too bad." She looked like a demon from hell.
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. "but I have some guidelines."
"Shoot."
"No frills," I started. "No bows, no lace, no dresses, and for gods sake, no pink."
"NO PINK!" She shot up from the bed. "But- But- But that like the universal girl color!"
"As you very well know, I'm not the universal girl. So, ix-ney on the ink-pey."
"But-"
"No buts on the no pink." I placed my hands on my hips. "Do you want to pick out my clothes or not?"
"Yes,"
"Then follow the guidelines. No exceptions."
"Fine." She plopped back down on the bed. "Hmm. What should we to with you. Well, we don't want to make you look totally new, or Nico won't like it. So we'll go for what you usually wear, but with a girly spin."
"What?"
"Well you wear baggy jeans, a big t-shirt and old sneakers right?"
"Right."
"Well, I was thinking maybe we would put you in skinny jeans, a fitted t-shirt and high tops. So it's sorta like you but a bit cuter."
"I guess that makes sense." I said folding my arms across my chest.
"Now for colors. We want two main colors that reflect your personality."
"Like what do you mean by my personality?" I was kind of getting defensive.
"You're a crazy, funny, sarcastic, defensive, pushy, bitchy, cute, helpful, happy, kind, outgoing girl. We need to find two colors that represent that well."
"I don't know if I should be satisfied or annoyed by that comment."
"OOH! I know! Yellow and orange! Perfect! Come with me…"

Kara and I sat in Chiron's office, twiddling our thumbs. Yeah. People, don't judge us.
"Alright girls, ready to go?" Chiron looked up and smiled at reassuringly.
"Not really," I mumbled.
"Alright then," He picked up a speaker that was on his desk.
"Ladies and gentlemen." As he spoke, I heard it echo all around the camp. "Good morning. I need to see the following people on half blood hill. Nico di Angelo, Mia Hall, Nick Davis, Dana Meldfan Annabeth, Percy, and all of the Apollo cabin. You are not in trouble. Thank you, and have a great day."
He turned to us. "Now, if you'll follow me."

Kara and I were standing in the forest that looked out on the hill. I was scared. Deathly scared. I felt my palms getting sweatier and sweatier by the minute. Chiron was already waiting out of the field for them to show up.
Then I saw them and my heart skipped a beat. Together, they walked up the hill talking to one another. Suddenly, I felt Kara reach over and grasp my hand. I stared and her and after a few seconds she looked back at me. She then realized what she was doing and dropped it back at her side, embarrassed. I looked back out at the hill to see that they were all standing in front Chiron now. Now it was my turn to reach out and grab her hand. She squeezed it back silently.
"Hello." Chiron said with a smile.
"Let's just cut to the chase." Nick didn't look too happy. "This is about Sam right?"
"Sam?" Nico turned to look at him. "What about her?"
"Me and some other people led her and a girl in last night. Chiron took them in."
"Sam's here?" Mia's eyes grew big.
"Yes," Chiron said smiling again. "And she and her friend would like to discuss something with you. And I wan you to hear her out, because everything she says is the truth."
"How do you know?" Nick said acidly.
"I know a lot of things you don't know Nick. Just trust me on this." He winked. "Ok, Sam? Kara?"
I gave Kara's hand one last squeeze and ten we headed out of the bushes. My heart leaped when I saw Nico. He watched me with wide eyes. I could almost see the aching in his heart. That was when I lost my self control.
I swear my feet started moving by themselves. I hurtled across the grass and threw myself at Nico. My arms went around his neck and I pushed my forehead into his chest. I didn't even care if he hated me.
Apparently he didn't because his arms wrapped around my waist and he place his forehead on the top of my head.
Nico…
