Hi guys, so I'm so sorry I have not updated in forever. *hides in corner to make sure people can't try to kill me* So… I had writers block… then I got grounded, hehe. PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!

I woke up to someone shaking me, again. I hate when people wake me up like that. I opened my eyes to see Percy standing beside me, so he woke me up.

"What time is it Percy?" I asked.

"Well the senate meeting is over, you were so tired that when Reyna came to get us she told us to let you sleep. There is a party in two hours so I suggest you get ready." He smirked.

"Reyna said it was going to be a fancy party, so you need to look nice." He continued. I scowled at him.

"At least the girls rooms are separated from the boys rooms." I said. After that my brother left.

All the other girls were doing their thing. I didn't know what to wear, so I chose something pretty but classy. I put on a black strapless dress that went down to my knees, it was nice. I then put my jacket on, this way you could see what I was wearing but the jacket made it feel like I wasn't wearing a dress. I also wore short black shorts under the dress, I even decided to wear high heels. They were black with the velcro on the piece around my ankle. My toes were visible, on both the straps there were gemstones.

"What am I going to do with my hair?" I muttered under my breath. Then it hit me

I put my hair up in a bun with two pieces in front hanging down, I curled them. I put some makeup on, even though I despise it. I put on black eye shadow and I put on light pink blush and lipstick.

"Hey, Grace you ready?" Annabeth called.

"Yeah! Coming!" I replied. I ran out the door just before it closed.

"You're actually wearing a dress?!" Yali asked dumbstruck. The others also looked surprised by what I was wearing.

"Yeah, Percy said I had to dress nice. Plus I don't just never wear girly stuff I just do it rarely." I said. They all nodded and we continued walking to the city.

When I got a good look at their clothes, I knew they suited them.

Yali had a pink dress on it had V neck but it was off the shoulders. Her shoes were like mine but pink. All the pink in her outfit, basically everything, matched her highlights. The dress went down to her knees. All of ours did.

Annabeth's dress was grey and like Yali's but instead of it being a V neck it was a normal off the shoulders dress. She had grey heels on, they were simple. She also had on a gray shawl like material over her shoulders, tied at her waist with a silver braided belt.

Thalia wore an off the shoulder V neck dress that fit her figure snuggly. It was black and it was long sleeved. She had on black makeup much like my own but it all was black. The rest of us just had different colored eye shadow.

Piper wore a dress exactly like Yali's but hot pink. So were her shoes and makeup.

Calypso wore a dress that looked exactly like a greek styled dress would've in the old days, her hair and shoes also looked this way. Then I realized she was wearing her island clothes. It looked better on her than any modern day dress would've.

Hazel wore an off the shoulders dress but it had spaghetti straps. I was a sparkly gold color that matched her eyes. The straps were also gold but there was a black fluffy material around her shoulders, obviously attached to her dress. It looked good on her.

Reyna wore a dark purple and black dress. It was really pretty on her. It was dark purple off the shoulders, but it had a strapless breast plate sort of thing, it was a lighter purple than the rest of the dress. The top had white ruffles on it. The sleeves were black lace, just like the lace that covered the dark purple color of the rest of the dress. Her shoes and makeup were purple.

(FYI: Thalia was visiting Reyna at camp Jupiter.)

I felt really weird in a dress. I mean I had not worn a dress in about ten years actually. As soon as we got to the pomeranian line, Terminus asked if we had any weapons on us.

"No." I answered, honestly. Ok not honestly. But technically it is not a weapon.

"Grace." Yali scolded.

I sighed and took out my three foot fake foldable stick and gave it to him. He raised his eyebrow.

"You can go now." He said.

When I turned around my friends, excluding Annabeth, Reyna, Thalia, and of course Yali were looking at me weird.

"What?" I asked.

"Why did you have a foldable stick in your, in your, wherever you keep it?!" Hazel replied.

"Um, oh I don't know, wait I do! Maybe self defense?!" I said.

"Oh, ok." She answered. I just looked at her weird. Eh, she is ok.

I was astonished when we got to the city. It was beautiful. Almost everything had streamer lights going on them. They were everywhere above us, it was SO cool. Everything was just gorgeous. There were no other words. We all separated once we got to the gathering of people.

"SO should we find the guys or explore first?" Yali asked.

"Hm… find the guys while we are exploring!" I said, feeling quite proud. She nodded her head vigorously. We both headed over to the cotton candy first.

"Well what would you two girls like?" The guy asked, he was in his late twenties-I think.

"Can we get two cotten candies please?" I asked.

"And how will you be paying for them?" He replied.

"How can we pay for them?" I asked, unaware of there being more than two ways to pay.

"Denarius, drachmas, or mortal money." He answered.

I flicked my hand infront of me and ten denarii appeared in front of the young man. He stared down at them greedily.

"Two cotton candys please, one pink, one blue." I requested.

In two minutes we had our sweets and we were walking around aimlessly looking for drinks, our friends, and talking.

We ended up spotting a place to get drinks first.

"Ma'am?" Yali asked.

"Yes?" The lady replied.

Yali already knew what I wanted to drink.

"Could we please get a fanta orange, and a Sierra mist?" She asked politely.

"Of course. Oh and are you two new here, I don't remember seeing you around." She said.

"Yes." I answered her question. "We just came back from-" I had to think. What was I supposed to say?

"A bad place." Yali answered for me, squeezing my hand, to tell me to stay quiet.

See with us we knew each other so well, even after ten years of being apart, that with one gesture from the other, we knew what to do.

In a few minutes a guy gave us our drinks. We thanked him and went off to find our friends. Ten minutes passed and we still had not found our friends.

Something felt wrong though, we both knew it. I mean we were laughing at things that were not funny, or were serious. The weird thing was, after, we had no idea why we had laughed.

"Look!" I said.

"What?" Yali asked while giggling.

"It's the guys!" I replied.

"Yay!" Yali yelped. She started pulling me along toward them, or at least trying to. We ended up in a fit of giggles halfway there.

Once we had gained some control back over our bodies, we saw two guys coming towards us. They looked scary.

"They're scary." I said.

"Ya. Lets go." Yali replied, I nodded my head.

We turned around and ran as fast as we could in our current state. I heard them following us.

Hope you all enjoyed. Also Im not doing the facts anymore, it is hard.
