'Thalia, you made this up. There is no way that you didn't,' Jason said as he was being dragged through the streets of Boston. 'Also, why did we have to go to Boston for… take-your-sister-to-the-snackbar-day?' He asked (he had to agree that he sounded 'a little' whiny). Thalia rolled her eyes. 'It doesn't matter that I made it up, and we are in Boston because that is where I was close to.' Jason stared at her. Thal, I drove for three hours to get to this place, and you know that, because you were in the car!' Thalia shrugged, and stopped speed walking. She put her hand to her brothers face. 'Jason, don't you want to spend some time with your big sister? I had to beg Artemis to let me go for three weeks straight!' She gave him her saddest puppy-dog eyes. Jason gave in. 'Alright, but the restaurant you picked better be good.'

'Really?'

'Yes, Jason, Really.'

'Thalia, you could have chosen any restaurant in this huge city, and you picked an ordinary burger restaurant.'

'Well, yeah, I like burgers.'

'What about the millions of places in New York that sell burgers.' Thalia rolled her eyes again.

'That would have been boring.' She started pushing Jason into the restaurant. 'Come on. I have something cool to show you, and I here no-one will care. I swear it isn't something dumb.' Jason wasn't so sure about that (the last time she had shown him something it had been a furby), but he let himself be pushed into the restaurant.

They ordered burgers, and there was finally something they could agree on: a big amount of burgers is not enough. They ordered about three burgers each, with salads, and a big bottle of Dr. Pepper. As they put their trays down on a table, Jason looked at his sister and said: 'I don't think I would be half as hungry if I wasn't a demigod. Really, this stuff increases your appetite by about three hundred percent.' Thalia nodded.

'I wholeheartedly agree with that. The hunters also seem to eat everything that comes in their way. This one time, a girl ate an entire jumbo-bag of marshmallows which was meant for all of us. It was crazy!'

Jason laughed. 'Well, that still sounds like kind of lot, even for a demigod. Or, a hunter. Yet, how is life without boys?'

'It's fine. I don't really miss them, except for you of course, Jay Jay.' She got a concerned look on her face. 'You know, when I first heard that you were dead, I... I just felt numb. I mean, I had just gotten you back a year prior, and you were already gone. After a few hours, I started crying, and no-one could really stop me. I... I just... I love you, Jason.' She got up from her chair, and hugged him.

Jason put a hand on her back. Thanks, but eh... I am alive, Thal,' he said. He knew it sounded stupid, but he really didn't know what to say to his sisters' speech. Thalia laughed. 'I know, Jason, I know.' She let him go, and sat down. She took a bite the size of Earth out of her burger, and chewed obnoxiously. Jason took a very small bite out of his burger.

'You know, the longer that I am together with Piper, the more I start to get a distaste for these things,' he said. Thalia swallowed an amount of burger than humans should not be able to swallow without choking. 'Weird. Luckily, I am literally around the goddess of the hunt for most of my time, so I do not have that problem.' She gave him a sassy smile. Jason rolled his eyes so far back that he saw stars.

'I miss you sometimes, Thalia. Like, sometimes I am walking around camp, and I just want to see you. Maybe we should do things like this more often. Yet, like, not in Boston. In a fast food restaurant.' Thalia nodded slowly.

'Sometimes I miss you to. I'd like to see you more often too, but Artemis doesn't really understand that. I can't blame her. I wouldn't want to see my brother all the time if he was Apollo too. And what's wrong with fast food in Boston? Are you to good for that these days?' She raised her eyebrow.

Jason took a long sip from his glass. He (carefully) put it down afterwards. 'Thalia, I don't want to alarm you, but Apollo is our brother.' Thalia stopped halfway to taking another bite of the last burger. She put it down. 'Oh, gods. You are right.' The siblings looked at each other. 'Do you think we can still change our Godly parent?' Thalia asked. They both started laughing.

'I think we should have done that a few years ago,' Jason sighed. Thalia nodded.

'Would you have done it, Jay-Jay?'

'What? Take another divine parent if I could?'

'Yeah.' Jason took a bite.

'I don't know, Thals. Maybe. I mean, having the king of the heavens as your father isn't really fun. I guess Demeter would have been a nice parent to have, or something.' Thalia nodded.

'I agree. I guess I would have chosen to just be a mortal girl, so I can still join the hunt but I don't have to deal with all that other stuff.' Thalia's stopped smiling while she took the last bite of her burger. 'Than we could have been brother and sister some more.' Jason took the last sip of Dr. Pepper. 'Wow. That got really sad.' They didn't say anything, as they stood up and got out of the restaurant, onto the Boston Streets, back to the minibus that actually belonged to Camp Half-blood.

Before they got into the minibus, Jason hugged Thalia. 'We could become more... brother-and-sister-ry.' Thalia nodded.

'I don't think that's a word, though,' she said, as she sat down on the passenger seat. 'But I'll alarm you when it is take-your-brother-to-eat-a-donut-day.' Jason laughed.

'You better actually do that, Thalia. Because now I really feel like eating a nice, glazed donut, you know.'
