A/N - Okay guys so I need to tell you all something.

Firstly, I'm crazily grateful to all of you for the comments and votes that you leave for the story that I write. It really means a lot to know that you all enjoy them. I want you all to let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas for the stories or if you want me too add something in my story. I will happily consider adding them into my stories because it makes me glad when you all are glad as well. You can always send me a message if you want or you can comment. I'd love to hear and add your ideas in so you can enjoy a lot as well!

I try my best to keep track of the comments that you all post onto my stories so I can send a comment back to you because I really love replying to the comments that you all leave for me. I know when I reply to the comments I always say thank you and it means a lot to me because I can't come up with other words to show how much your comments mean to me. So I hope that you all now know how much each of your comments mean to me. So here's a small stanza. It's not a poem because I cannot write those yet :P

Thank you all for leaving the comments. It means a lot to me. Warms my heart and my sleep. Makes the moments before I sleep, happy. As I think of ways to make you all happy too the next day. The way you do for me

Sorry if that was a little weird and odd. Yeah, that's basically who I am. Weird and odd lol.

I'm always always open to any kind of constructive criticism if you have any. If you have any suggestions on how my writing can improve then you're always welcome to let me know. Don't hesitate at all.

There's just one last thing that I would like to say or well write is that please do respect everybody's opinions and lets not be harsh about what each of us believe. I'm not saying that you are harsh or anything because almost all of you are far from harsh and like I said, I love the comments that you leave. Only like one or two people are like that so please just keep that in mind.

Again, I love the comments and votes that you leave for me and the stories that I write and I can't say that enough :)))

Soo now I will see you soon in the next chapter, well not really lol but you get my point :P

WHEN LEO SAW HOW WELL…he was thoroughly offended.

"Why?" Thalia frowned.

"Probably imagined us freezing off." Piper chuckled and shook her head fondly.

"She has hypothermia. Thalia wouldn't send them to freeze off." Artemis said to Leo who looked sheepish.

He'd imagined them freezing… hot chocolate and a parka!"

"Agreed. It's going to get pretty cold tonight." Percy said

"Yep. It's gonna be a cold night." Jason said

"And how would the two of you know that?" Castor asked.

"Well the sea breeze and land breeze is good." Percy said. Poseidon nodded in agreement.

"And the wind's cold." Jason said. This time Zeus and Thalia nodded.

"That's cool." Pollux grinned. Jason and Percy grinned back.

"So about that hot chocolate." Connor said with a lopsided smile.

"I'll make some." Thalia rolled her eyes playfully and chuckled. The demigods cheered.

"So while it's not cold yet, I'm going to have some coffee. I feel very un-caffeinated." Percy said. Everybody looked at him in amusement.

"I second that." Nico agreed. Some of the demigods nodded. Percy got up and went to the Olympus Starbucks and got some Ice coffee for everybody. They grinned at him.

Annabeth continued reading. She didn't want the coffee so she gave it to Percy who was happy to take it.

Phoebe sniffed…worst insult she could think of.

"For Phoebe it is. Not all the hunters are as… friendly towards demigod males as Thalia." Percy said. Artemis and Thalia nodded.

"That's true." Thalia said

"It's all right, Phoebe,"…hot chocolate was first-rate.

Leo and Jason grinned at Thalia.

"Hmm. Never had many males in hunter parkas. Not many even taste the hot chocolate." Apollo said

"Then we're lucky." Jason stated. Leo nodded and so did Artemis, Thalia and Reyna.

"Cheers!" said Coach Hedge…I like this one."

Everybody chuckled.

"Why thank you." Piper grinned at Thalia.

"Hey, I could run ten…Thalia ignored him.

Leo shook his head.

"Don't." Leo said to Jason who was about to make some funny comment. Everybody chuckled. Jason grinned at Leo.

It took Phoebe exactly six…but they didn't have time

"Nope. Classified." Thalia smirked. The hunters smirked and grinned as well.

Leo grinned at her.

"I'll figure something out." He said.

"Good luck." Thalia grinned.

"I'm helping." Beckendorf said with a smile. Leo nodded eagerly.

Thalia ran uphill through…So they ran in silence.

"Yeah, Gleeson has not got the best voice." Clarisse grimaced.

Leo fell in next to Jason…so much more together."

Zeus and Hera felt the mixed emotions of Jason.

"You're going through amnesia and a deadline." Thalia told Jason gently. Her brother sighed.

"Hey, she's not fighting…ran away because of me."

"I would have run away either way. Maybe once you were old enough. Or I could've taken you with me once you were about 10 or the best thing that I would've done would've been that I probably would've called some people who deal with child abusers." Thalia said to Jason who grimaced but nodded.

"Or you could hunt for Medusa, get her head and you know pull a 'Sally Jackson'." Percy suggested with a small grin to lighten the mood and it worked. Thalia, Jason and the others burst out laughing.

"Too much work." Thalia said.

"That's true. I mean for me the only reason I got close to her was because of…um because of old…relationships?" Percy said with his eyebrows furrowed and a hesitating face which made the situation a lot more hilarious.

"You could put it that way." Annabeth said to Percy.

Amphitrite and Triton shook their heads and Poseidon groaned. Percy grinned sheepishly at him and he gave a chuckle.

"Hey, whatever's happened…outside his comfort zone.

"You were great. Thanks man." Jason smiled at Leo who returned it.

Leo wished he could reach…those inherited traits, Dad.

Hephaestus and Beckendorf chuckled.

He was so lost in thought…mountain the hard way.

Thalia paled at the thought. Artemis and Zeus glared at Leo who gave an apologetic look to Thalia.

"Yikes." Piper said with a grimace.

Fortunately, the Hunter was light on her feet.

Percy snorted.

"Yeah that way but she almost broke my back today morning." He said. Thalia stuck her tongue out at Percy.

"Sure I did." She said. Percy grinned at her.

"Well you owe me a piggyback ride to the dining hall now." Percy said. Thalia groaned good naturedly.

"Leo owes me one." Jason said with a grin at the said demigod. Leo grinned back and gave a thumbs up.

"Hazel?" Nico grinned at her. Hazel sighed and nodded. Nico, Percy and Jason grinned.

She steadied them both…like the vapor trail of a plane.

"Whoa. That sounds pretty lit." Chris said

"But dangerous to cross, I think." Jason said. Thalia was not looking happy at the thought of crossing that.

"It might seem that way but it might not be." Silena said. Jason nodded.

Thalia shrugged. "I'm not…Olympus, little brother."

The Greek demigods nodded. Jason grinned.

"Been here done that. Olympus sounds way better." He said.

"It is." Zeus said with a small smile.

"You're serious?...Jason, you can fly?"

"That would be weird to know." Thalia said

"Blonde Superman." Percy grinned at Jason who rolled his eyes good naturedly.

Jason gazed up at the…you can't fly?"

"You should check it out if you can. It could come useful during an emergency." Annabeth said

"And it would help with your fear too. And you might just enjoy it." Nico said. Thalia sighed.

"Yeah okay." She said

"I'll help." Jason grinned at Thalia who nodded.

"I can give some suggestions as well." Zeus offered. Thalia was drinking her coffee and managed to not look surprised and nodded.

"Thank you f-father." She choked out. Zeus nodded with a small smile.

"This is going to be fun." Jason clapped his hands.

For a second…than she was letting on

"Brilliant. Another one who can read expressions which last for only a second." Thalia groaned, looking at Percy and Leo. Leo grinned sheepishly. Percy just grinned innocently at Thalia.

"Truthfully," she said…dragged her up the bridge.

Piper huffed but gave a small smile. Clarisse chuckled.

When they were about…Tell them I'm on my way."

"Phoebe won't be that happy about that." Artemis said with a chuckle.

"I'll be fine." Thalia chuckled.

"She just wants you to stay away from us very highly infectious males." Percy said amusedly.

"When are you going to stop with that?" Thalia groaned

"Teasing you? Never. The joke? Never. Easy." Nico grinned at Thalia.

"What am I going to do with you guys?" Thalia groaned again but it was good natured.

"You sure?" Phoebe narrowed…kidnap Thalia or something.

"Nah, they couldn't." Thalia laughed and then paused as she felt the mischievous grins of Percy, Nico and Leo.

"Challenge accepted." The three of them smirked and held their coffees in a way people do with the champagne to acknowledge or say 'challenge accepted'. Thalia swore and paled.

"It's fine," Thalia promised…braces and support columns.

"That happens so much." Beckendorf chuckled.

"Useful skill, I think." Hephaestus grunted.

Then a sudden revelation…The ice was thinning.

Hephaestus winced as he felt the amount of excitement that Leo was feeling.

"You have to get the excitement in control. That's what's causing this." He said to Leo who had wide eyes.

"Yeah, I'll try." He said

"Leo, stop it,"…you were an exchange."

"Very good, Leo Valdez." Hera said, actually impressed and a little proud? "I was right to choose you." She said.

"Leo brains strikes again." Connor grinned. Leo returned it but he looked worried about his body temperature rising in the book.

"An exchange." …where they're keeping Hera?"

"Wow Leo. Damn man. That was so freaking impressive." Lee grinned at Leo who grinned back. Hephaestus and Beckendorf looked proud but they were a little worried about the bridge.

"You just solved a lot of the confusion in minutes." Chris said in awe. Leo smiled at him.

"You know where it is?"…coat and pulled him to safety

"Thanks man." Leo said gratefully. Jason waved it away with a smile.

The two of them scrambled…We can do both!"

Artemis was looking proud of Thalia but worried about her hunters, not wanting them to fall into such a dangerous situation of facing the king of giants but then again, Jason was Thalia's brother. She would make the same decision for Apollo too.

"But where is the Wolf…leading up to the fortress.

"Thanks a ton man." Leo said to Jason, looking relieved.

"It's really a good benefit that you can fly." Piper said to Jason who nodded.

Leo looked back down…are your clothes smoking?"

Hephaestus' clothes were smoking a little now as well. Leo winced.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to. It was probably some sort of excitement reaction." Leo apologized to Jason.

"You came up with the answers. It's fine." Jason said with a small smile. Leo nodded but still looked guilty.

"I got a little heated,"…king of the winds."

"Done." Annabeth said. Hephaestus' clothes stopped smoking.

"Should we take a break?" Chiron asked. Annabeth flipped through the pages of the next chapter.

"Yeah maybe. The next chapter is a little intense in emotions and all." She said. Everybody nodded then.

"Come on man, we've got revolvers, courtesy of Ares." Michael grinned. Leo grinned as well. Ares chuckled and nodded.

"I'll come with. Clarisse and Frank too. You're going to know how to fire a revolver and other guns." He said. The Apollo gang, Clarisse, Frank and Leo nodded. The others also went off in their respective groups.
