AN: So this is the first chapter! Thank you Riptide2015 and, AnnabethIsTheBest, and Mindbender10 for reviewing, it's greatly appreciated.

PPOV:

As soon as I stepped past Thalia's tree, I saw Grover running towards me, a giant smile on his face.

"Hey G-man!" I yelled to him. "How's everything going?"

"Great, Percy! It's good to see you again! Juniper and I are great. Annabeth's here too. Nico wants to talk to you. Guess what: Thalia quit the Hunters!" Grover replied in a jumbled mess. He's changed a little too, the acne's gone from his face, and his horns have grown out a little.

"Really? I thought it was a permanent thing," I say. "Why'd she quit?"

"She said she didn't really like the Hunters much, and since the war is over, there's no point of her being in it. Nico's really happy, though."

"Nico has a crush on Thalia? Now I've heard everything," I replied. As I said it, Nico came bounding towards us. Speak of the devil (or would it be Hades son?).

"Come on guys! Stop gossiping like two 13 year old girls, and help us sort out all the new campers!" Nico says. I think he heard me. Grover and I start following Nico. Nico's also really grown. He's almost my height, and is starting to fill out.

"Wow," I say. There are at least 20 new cabins, all designed beautifully. I think I know who designed them.

"Annabeth designed them all, you know?" A familiar voice says from behind me.

"Thalia! Long time no see!" I exclaim. She still hasn't grown yet, and actually looks around Nico's age, instead of her real age, which was A LOT older. Maybe they would work out, after all.

"Hey, Kelp for Brains, it's been a while. Have you seen Annabeth?" she asks. So much for a cheery greeting.

"Nah, I haven't seen her. Why, what happened?" I ask.

"You're not the only one I haven't seen in a long time, idiot. She is my best friend," she explains, rolling her eyes. She walks off, and I head towards my cabin, only to be stopped by Chiron.

"We need your help sorting out all of the new campers," Chiron says. "Put away your things and head to the Big House for a meeting."

APOV:

I walk into the Big House, only to be crushed by a huge hug from none other than Thalia.

"It's good to see you too!" I say, laughing.

"Annabeth! Where have you been? I've been looking EVERYWHERE!" she chastises.

"Why didn't you check my cabin?" I ask, since that's where I've been since I got to camp.

"Of course, the cabin! I knew I forgot to check the cabin!" She says, spinning in a small circle. A dark smile forms on her face. "I thought you'd be with a special person right now."

"What? Who do you mean, Thalia?" I say, confused.

"Oh, nothing, I just figured something would've happen between you two already," she says vaguely. She then walks off to her seat. Just then, Percy walks in.

"Annabeth!" He says happily. I'm surprised that he's happy to see me; last week I'd single-handedly ruined our night by yelling at him. He walks over and hugs me. A red blush forms in my cheeks as I return his hug. He's so tall now; he seems to tower over my five feet six form. I rest there for a few seconds, and it feels good. His hugs always do that to me. They make me forget that I'm in a room full of people. Crap, I'm in a room full of people, being hugged my extremely hot best friend.

And that's when I figured out what Thalia was talking about.

TPOV:

Gods, they're such idiots! That's all I can think when Percy walks in and bear hugs Annabeth. Nico had come up behind him, so I might as well talk to him.

"Hey Nico," I say.

"Hey. What's with Percy? He told me that he'd seen Annabeth just last week." He tells me, his voice thick with confusion. Are all boys this stupid? No, they aren't… the same memories surge back…

"Hey, Thalia, are you listening?" Nico asks me, snapping me out of my thoughts about, about. Gods, I can't even say his name in my head! Please someone help me out of this… Chiron had started to talk as my mind had gone on its own little trip down the painful memory lane.

"Thalia, we need to go to the younger kids and get them into the unclaimed cabins," Nico explains to me. We begin walking. When we reach the herd of kids, Chiron yells, "Everyone, if I could have your attention please!" All the talking stopped. I guess when you see a centaur for the first time it's pretty mind-wiping. "Thank you. Now if you're under thirteen and unclaimed, please line up over here." He points to a sign that has the number 6-13. Nico and I watch as kids scramble to get there, and then make a decent line up.

"Okay then, campers! We're taking you to the new unclaimed cabins. That means that this cabin is yours until you're claimed. You will ALL be claimed by the time you are thirteen." Nico explains to the crowd of kids. We begin walking them to the new cabins.

"So, what have you been doing since the war, Nico?" I ask, trying to make conversation.

"I was in Italy, trying to figure out who I am. I found out that my sister and I were actually never recognized as my mother's children. Apparently my grandfather has a really good reputation, and having a daughter with illegitimate children would ruin them," he said in a slightly bitter tone. I realize I know how he feels exactly.

"I lost my mom last year too, so you're not alone on the whole, 'I have no other parent than my shitty god parent`," I say to him, and his face softens just a touch.

He turns around to address the crowd of kids behind us, and says, "These will be your new homes during the summer! Girls on the right, boys on the left!" and the kids went wild, trying to get the best beds. We left them at that, to go back to the Big House. I like Nico, I realize. He doesn't always pressure me about him, and isn't a total kelp for brains like our cousin, Sea Boy over there.

When we walk into the Big House, there's Aphrodite. This isn't that uncommon, actually. A lot of gods who don't actually do much come down, so they can just get all their kids in one swipe. Most of the minor gods have at least visited ten times in the last week I was here with the Hunters.

"Thalia! I so glad you're giving love a chance!" Aphrodite says as soon as she sees me. She smiles at me, and I try to look as good as possible. Even if I'm a straight girl, you can't feel unaffected by her aura.

She looks back at Chiron, and continues her discussion. "Please, Chiron! Rachel needs to stay here this summer! She's dangerous in the real world!"

I knew exactly what she was doing.

NPOV:

Gods, Thalia is really pretty, is all I could think about as she walked over to Aphrodite. Wait what! Even if she was only the goddess of love, she could really mess you up. I heard some guy had broken a bunch daughters of Aphrodite's hearts, so she, well, he's not going to be able to have kids for a long time.

"Lady Aphrodite, could you explain why a mortal needs to be in Camp Half-Blood?" Thalia asks bitterly, with thunder and everything. I have a feeling Zeus was sending Aphrodite some sort of message like, "Don't you dare attack MY KID!"

"Monsters keep attacking her, and her being with normal mortals may drive her insane. She needs a time where she can scream help, and people won't think she's going bonkers," Aphrodite explained. If there's something to worth seeing in this world, it's the love goddess angry; she actually looks like Ares!

"What you're doing isn't going to affect their stupidity, it'll just anger all three of them!" Thalia exclaimed. I really hope Zeus doesn't hear this, but gods, she was hot when she was angry. Then some thoughts emerged in my head that if Zeus heard, he would probably kill me. At that moment, Aphrodite turned and smiled at me. She's the goddess of sex, too, idiot! Shit, she just saw my thoughts!

"Well, I must go. You two seem to have some business to take care of. Rachel will be here around ten tomorrow. I need to find my little beasts-I mean, children. Good bye," Aphrodite says, and turns around. I think since the Silena incident, she's a little bitter towards her kin.

"What business was she talking about?" Thalia asks me.

"I have no idea," I lie.

I wonder what she'd say if she knew what Aphrodite meant about that business.

At that moment, Percy and Annabeth came in, laughing about something that had been said before. As they laugh, looking at each other, I realize why Percy was so happy to see Annabeth. At least Aphrodite has someone to bother other than you! I inwardly sigh. Why waste her time on Thalia and I, two who aren't going to be a couple anytime soon, when you could just mess with Percy and Annabe-

So that's why Rachel's coming!

RPOV:

When you meet the goddess of love for the first time, you're shocked. When you meet her in a public place where every guy get whiplash trying to get a second look, it's even more unreal. She had come to me while I was at some cafe in Downtown. I mean come on! I've met a few goddesses before, but Aphrodite was definitely the most beautiful.

(Start Flashback)

"Rachel, I need you," she says to me.

"Umm, okay. What do you need?" I say, but it's all said really quickly, too fast. I sip my coffee.

"I need you to go to Camp Half-Blood for the summer," she tells me. "It's a pretty simple favour; just go there and be pretty. That's simple enough, isn't it?"

"Yeah, of course," I say, without really thinking it out. She smiles at me.

"Your ride to Camp Half-Blood will pick you up at 10 in three days. Be ready," she tells me, and leaves.

(End Flashback)

Now, I'm on my way to the last place I wanted to be; Camp Half-Blood. Tons and tons of hot guys, training all day, just to be killed! What a waste! Seriously, if Percy wasn't so hot, I probably wouldn't have thought I liked him. He's kind of stupid. Its surprising Annabeth goes up with it. But then again, love is a strange drug.

The plane touches down. I was in Vancouver for an art school that I finally persuaded my dad to let me go to. It was fun there, but still, creepy whenever I saw a monster and couldn't call out for help, or really do anything. Maybe Camp Half-Blood is a good idea. Oh, well. You can't exactly say no to a god.
