GUYS I'M REALLY SORRY FOR THE LACK OF UPDATING! I HAVE A MILLION AND ONE EXCUSES, BUT DONT WORRY I NOW HAVE INTERNET AGAIN! SO...HERE GOES!

Piper:

I groaned in frustration as the pink piece of paper was dropped in front of me. These pink pieces of paper had been causing uproar in my cabin lately. Since Selena had returned (Percy explained that the gates of the Underworld had opened, allowing Selena and Beckendorf to return to camp.) we had been co-cabin counsellors. I had decided that Selena could help me, as I didn't really want the responsibility and it sounded like she had done a good job, before...well, yes. It had actually been one of the younger girls idea to organise this dance. She felt we all deserved to do something nice, to celebrate Selena, Percy and Beckendorf returning. Well, that was her excuse. I didn't want to say yes, I hated dressing up and putting on a lot of make-up. But, Selena really wanted to, so I reluctantly agreed. I knew that Drew hated the fact Selena was co-ruling the cabin again, and I expected her to attempt to sabotage the dance. It was no secret that our cabin would be going crazy. The girls had already started arguing over who was going with Travis Stoll, and over who was wearing what colours. I just wanted them to shut up, and get on with it. I would be happier just going to the fireworks, in a few weeks. But, I might not even end up going with Jason (my boyfriend!) and I would have to put up with a million and one problems before the actual dance. I glanced over at Jason who smiled reassuringly, and I grimaced in return. Uggh, why was my cabin so melodramatic?

Katie:

I glared at the test, as Selena handed it to me. I couldn't believe Travis just humiliated me like that! We are not dating, and will never date! He's a huge player, and is so shallow. All he does is prank my cabin, and get in the way when I'm trying to work. But, after Travis's comment we would probably end up being paired together, with squeals of 'They are just so perfect!' from the Aphrodite girls. Well, the ones that weren't jealous. In fact I wouldn't put it past them to rig it, so that one of them ended up with 'the hottest guy in camp'. Which, would be fine with me. I didn't want to spend a whole evening slow dancing with him anyway! He was just to obnoxious. All he does it cause me to get into a rage, and make messes in my cabin which I have to clean up. Plus, he won't stop nagging me. When I'm eating dinner, when I'm in the fields, when I'm at activities, or at the lake, or the beach, or the campfire, or the woods. Well, you get the idea...

But, as much as I hated to admit it, I kind of did want to go with him. I didn't really mind him annoying me, not that I'd ever tell him that. I thought he was funny. Still, he was a player, and of course, he would break my heart if I made the mistake of giving him a chance. With that in mind I honestly filled in my sheet, and hoped to the Gods that we, both would be and wouldn't be paired together.

Nyssa:

I bit my lip as Selena handed me the test, smiling sweetly at me. Oh Gods. This was going to be ridiculous. The camp was always full of drama, this was only going to make it worse. It was obvious the wrong people would be paired together, and arguments and fights were going to break out. I really didn't want to get involved in everyone else's problems. That's why I stayed in the forges, with the boys. Girls meant drama, and I hated drama. All I wanted was a nice night off, where I could relax. And if I was going to be forced into going, I'd like to go with someone I actually liked. Not just whoever was leftover, after all the obvious couples were paired up.

Truthfully, I wanted to go with Will Solace. Son of Apollo. He was just so kind, and sweet and gentle. Every time I burned myself, or cut myself or when Leo burnt me, he would bandage me up. He never rushed it, and no matter how small the injury he treated it with the same amount of care and patience. Every time I turned up in the infirmary injured, he would be with me immediately. Talking soothingly, and light heartedly. I usually stayed quiet. I didn't know what to say to him. It was different to talking to the other guys. I actually cared what Will thought of me. I didn't want to bother him, by forcing him to bandage up minor scratches. But, I also wanted to spend time with him.

I looked up, over at the Apollo table, and caught Will's eye. He smiled genuinely at me, and I could feel my cheeks redden. I smiled back bashfully, and then turned to my test. Please, can I go with him?

Clarisse:

Selena handed me the test, mumbling 'Sorry'. I muttered back 'You'd better be.'

God, I hated dances. Having to get all dressed up, and being forced to slow dance. I mean, why the Hades did I need to take this test? I was dating Chris! And, if we got paired with other people, the whole camp would know about it!

As much as I hated to admit it, I really liked him. He was so calm and collected, all the time. He kept me sane, well he tried. I never understood how he could calm me down, and persuade me to do things. Like, going to the fireworks, celebrating Valentine's day... He sort of had me wrapped around his little finger, not that I'd ever let him know it.

He had a strange hold over me. Like I was scared to lose him again, I never wanted him to go back to what he was. The thought sent chills through my spine. I couldn't bear to see him in that mental state again. But, if he found out, he'd never let it go. So, I won't tell him.

I looked over at him, and he smirked back at me. I was so going to kill him.
