Disclaimer-I don't won, rent, or lease PJO!!!!!!!

"Annabeth," I started, but she was gone.

I decided that it would be best if I gave Annabeth her space for now, but Thalia had some explaining to do. I walked to Thalia's cabin and opened her door.

"Not surprised to see you, Seaweed Brain," she said and smiled. She laid back on her bed and started tossing a ball into the air.

"What is wrong with you, Thalia? Why'd you have to go and screw up things with me and Annabeth. Life would be so much easier if you weren't such a screw-up as to get kicked out of the Hunt!" I boomed at her. I was surprised at my words; they were harsh and I knew it.

Her smile change into a furious grimace, and she sat up. "Me? I did not screw up things with you and Annabeth. You did! And how dare you call me a 'screw up'? My getting discharged from the Hunt is none of your business! I suggest you get you butt out of my cabin…if you know what's best for you!" she yelled back.

"What would be best for me would not be to leave your cabin; it would be for you to leave camp and get lost!" Instantly, I wanted to take back my words. Small lightning sparks were forming at her fingertips. I willed the water in her sink to put it out. "Okay, Thal, let's not get crazy…"

"Crazy?" Now she was standing. "Crazy is you coming into my cabin making accusations. Saying the I'm to blame for all your problems. Did you ever consider that you shouldn't have lied to Annabeth? Or better, keep the news to yourself instead of trying to make me mad by telling me." She seemed to be cooling down. "Just get out of here, Percy."

This time, I listened. I went to see Grover now.

As I approached him, he greeted me. "Hey, Percy."

"Hey Grover, how goes it?"

"Juniper and I are back together," he said. He was beaming.

"Wow, man, that's great," I said.

"What's up with you? I heard about you and Annabeth."

I grimaced. "That's what I wanted to talk to you about. She's really upset, and I don't know what to do. Then I flipped on Thalia, and now she's mad at me, too."

"Okay, why is she mad at you, and why did you flip out on Thalia? I'm confused," he replied.

"Well, long story short, I lied to Annabeth about the whole Calypso thing, and Thalia told her the truth. So, I kind of blamed Thalia for my problems with Annabeth."

Grover's face was understanding. "Oh, I see."

"So, what do I do?"

"Apologize. What else?" he said.

Wow, I thought, good idea. "That's really good idea."

He shrugged. "Glad I could help."

I started sprinting off towards Athena's cabin. I had to make things right with Annabeth.

I burst through the door and bumped right into Annabeth. "Whoa! Oh, Percy, it's you," she said. Her face was unreadable, but at least she wasn't crying anymore. "I was just on my way to your cabin. We need to sort this out." Her brothers and sisters were staring at us. "Preferably in your cabin."

"Right," I said. She followed me to my cabin. I closed the door. "So," I started.

"Let's just get down to it. Percy, I really care about you, and you really hurt me. Just tell me everything. Don't lie." She sat on my bed attentively. "I won't get mad."

"Okay, well last year on Ogigia, Calypso helped me to heal. She was really nice, and I think you're wrong about her. If you knew her, I swear you'd feel differently toward her." Annabeth made a face, but nodded for me to continue. "She was really nice, and it was like a paradise there. I honestly didn't want to leave."

"Don't mind my interruption, but why did you then?" Annabeth asked. Her voice was calm as she asked, and I could tell that no offense was intended.

"You. You were the reason I left. I couldn't bear to imagine life without you," I explained. Her face lit up. "Calypso could never compare to you, Annabeth Chase. You know that. The only reason I didn't totally come clean to you before is because I thought it would upset you. Which I did, I am truly, truly sorry. I would never want to hurt you. I care about you too much." Annabeth was crying again. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I'm happy. You don't realize how much what you just said meant to me. I'm sorry if I overreacted."

"Di immortales."

"What, Percy?" Annabeth questioned.

"Overreacted. I completely flipped out on Thalia! I pretty much blamed her for everything wrong in my life." I explained to Annabeth everything that was said.

"Well, sounds to me like you have another apology to give," she said and kissed me on my cheek. "Go on. I'll talk to you later."

I kissed her back on the lips. "Bye."

I went back to Thalia's cabin.

"You have got to be kidding me," she said.

"Thalia, I'm sorry," I said.

"Wait, so you actually did something wrong? It wasn't me who screwed up both of our lives?" she sneered.

"I was wrong. It was my fault. Everything's okay now, except with us. I want to fix that," I explained.

She sighed. "Me, too. I really shouldn't have snitched on you. Are we cool now?"

"Absolutely," I replied.

"So," Thalia started conversationally. "How did the Wise Girl take the news?"

I gave her my best dirty look.

"Yup, way too raw in the mind to discuss."

"No, it's just that she cried. I felt like I was being processed in the Fields of Punishment."

"Oh, I'm so sorry," Thalia apologized.

"I know. Me, too." She smiled. "Well, I've got to get back and see Annabeth."

"Okay. Bye, Percy," she said.
