Oh, yeah, so here's a chappie :)


Annabeth POV:

I handed Hanna off to a girl from Apollo who seemed semi-friendly, and Percy and I made our way outside to where Thalia and Nico were.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU, YOU SICK SON OF A-" Thalia screamed at Nico until Grover, who was incidentally also there, interrupted.

"Thalia, there are children present!" He yelled from across the field, pointing at two small children who were standing there with their mouths hanging open.

"Yeah Thalia!" Nico shouted angrily. "There are children present!"

Thalia's eyes turned murderous, and blue sparks were surrounding her. She started to charge, but I quickly stood in front of her and held her back. Percy was holding back a struggling Nico, who kept shouting "That's right! Come at me bro!"

"Shut up Nico!" Thalia snarled. "YOU'RE ANNOYING AND NO ONE LIKES YOU."

"GET SOME! GET SOME!" Nico sneered back. He kept trying to wriggle out of Percy's grasp.

"Oh, as if I'd want to 'get some' from some hormonal son of Hades WHO PLAYS WITH DOLLS!" Thalia screamed.

Nico was going to shout something back, but instead he shook his head. "They weren't dolls, they were collector figurines." He said under his breath.

"Give up dude," Percy told him. "She totally got you on that one." He said as he let go of Nico. I went ahead and let go of Thalia too.

"Has anyone seen the kids?!" Grover asked, panicking.

"Boo!" A little girl with tan skin, and curly light brown hair, and big brown eyes said. She looked about three or four years old, and seemed like a major troublemaker. She was wearing little red shorts with a polka dotted red and white shirt that had a lady bug on it. She was also holding hands with a teeny skeleton warrior that somehow was wearing a skirt fashioned out of leaves.

"She's frigging everywhere with that creeper skeleton!" Nico said, wide eyed, pulling on his hair.

"He my friend!" The little girl cried.

"Luna! He does not talk. He does not play. He just follows you around! And he is wearing a skirt!" Nico said, frustrated.

At that, the little girl, Luna, started to cry. And jagged black rocks started to erupt out of the ground.

"OH MY GODS I HATE KIDS." Nico cried, and waved his hand and made the rocks disappear. I walked up to Luna, and picked her up.

"Hey Luna." I said calmly. "I'm Annabeth. Don't listen to Nico. He's dumb." I told her.

She stopped crying, and looked at me. She studied my face, and said flatly, "Your hair yellow."

I looked at the other, who seemed kind of confused. "Uh, yeah. I have blonde hair." I laughed uneasily.

"It curly. Like me." She said, touching my hair. "Jeff want yellow curly hair too." She told me.

"Who's Jeff?" Percy asked.

"He's the skeleton." Nico said, sitting on the ground with his head in his hands, pulling on his hair. "She named him Jeff." He sighed.

"Okay, well we'll see about that." I told her. "How about in the meantime we get you cleaned up? We can get you some food too." I said. Luna just nodded her head.

"Where's Michael?" Thalia asked, looking around for the little boy that had been standing there before.

Lightning stuck about a foot away from Luna, Percy and I, and we all jumped back. Luna started crying, and I could hear little snickers from behind a near by tree.

"Michael! You get back here!" Thalia shouted, charging behind the tree. She came back out from behind it holding a little blonde haired boy with Thalia's electric blue eyes and soft white skin. He was sticking his tongue out.

"You're a poophead!" He told Thalia.

"Oh, that's original." She muttered, while she rolled her eyes. "Do you want food?" She asked him.

"Do you guys have any man meat?" He asked, raising his eyebrows at Thalia. "Men need to eat man meat. And they use old spice. Like real men."

"No. We have small children meat." Thalia replied, looking at him. "We don't tolerate annoying little boys here. Just so you know." She said, looking at Michael.

Michael's eyes got big and he put his hands over his mouth. "I can be good I promise." He said quickly.

"You'd better." Thalia told him. She set him down near where I was standing.

"Alright, who wants lunch!" Percy suggested.

"I do!" Grover shouted. "Enchiladas?"

"Um, I sure we could get the nymphs to whip something up?" I said.

Grover high fived Nico. "Getting' enchiladas man!"

*linebreak*

We had managed to get all three of the little kids to go to sleep after lunch. Percy and I had called Sally and told her that it was safe to bring Grace up, and Chiron had called the other campers and told them it was also safe for their return. But, he had also called the mothers of the three children. They apparently didn't know that their kids were at camp yet, and were most likely apprehensive about leaving their small children at a camp year round.

Currently, all of the camp counselors were gathered around the ping pong table, and we were discussing what we were going to do with this 'demi-tots', as Travis Stoll had called them.

"Someone needs to call there parents and take the little farts home." Clarisse said flatly. "This is a training camp, not a babysitter's backyard."

"Clarisse, that's already out of the question. They're staying here. They were all attracting monsters at a really young age, which is basically unheard of." I sighed. "Well, not completely.."

"Oh, okay." Clarisse said, slamming down her ping pong paddle and squishing Connor Stoll's hand. "Since you're a parent, you can call the moms!" She said. She walked off, but not before stealing some ten year old's soda and downing it.

I looked around the table. "Are you guys going along with this?" I asked. Everyone was quiet. "Okay, Percy and I can call Hanna's mom. But Thalia and Nico call Michael and Luna's mom. Deal?" I asked.

"Fine." Thalia mumbled. Nico just nodded his head. The two of them were still mad at each other.

"Everyone's excused." I said, and everyone got up and left. "Thalia, Nico, how about we stay here and call the parents?" I asked.

They both made faces at each other and sat down at opposite sides of the table. Percy was sitting next to me, and he pulled out a phone from a nearby drawer.

"So before we get started, which one of you is going to explain why you started a small scaled war in the common area?" Percy asked, raising an eyebrow. He said it in this weirdly serious tone of voice.

"Percy, why are you talking like that?" I asked, looking at him.

He cleared his voice. "Sorry. I was using my dad voice." He coughed. "It seemed like a good idea ten seconds ago."

"Your dad voice?" Thalia asked skeptically. "That is possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard you say." She said.

"Hey, no discussing his stupidity until you tell us why you two were fighting!" I said, trying to defend an outraged looking Percy. "You're not stupid, your head is just full of kelp." I told him quickly. I turned back to Thalia and Nico. "Spill."

"Nico asked me why I kept 'bringing sexy back'!" Thalia exploded, standing up and pointing at Nico.

"HEY, YOU TOTALLY WANT A SLICE OF NICO PIE!" Nico yelled, getting up out of his seat. He turned his head to me. "Not that I blame her or anything. I understand that I'm very tempting."

"I am a huntress!" Thalia argued. "I am a maiden for life! What part of that don't you understand?!" Thalia demanded.

"Whoa, cool it!" Percy said, raising his voice over theirs in his 'dad voice' again. Thalia and Nico both immediately sat back down in their seats and got quiet.

"Hey, it worked!" Percy said lightly. He turned to me. "See, it does work."

I chuckled nonchalantly, and then turned to Thalia and Nico. "Okay." I said, placing my hands on the table. "Nico, you do understand that Thalia will never reciprocate any feelings towards you, right?"

"Okay, well then why did she kiss me?" He asked.

Me and Percy's jaw dropped. "She what?"

And with that, Nico was hit with 500 volts of electricity, rendering him unconscious, and a murderous looking Thalia at the other side of the table.

"He said too much." Thalia said, looking slightly embarrassed.


Haha, betcha didn't see that coming did ya? Hehe :)
