"Come on Thals, it's not that hard!" Jason exclaimed, frustrated. The two stood on top of a rock that was barely three feet off the ground. Thalia shook her head, clutching his arm.

"No way, what if I get hurt? What if I jumped and I don't float and the winds don't help me because dad doesn't care and then I die?" She protested, sprouting out every scenario she could think of.

"Thalia, then I'll catch you. You'll be fine! It's in your blood, anyway. So just step forward and jump! Were barely three feet of the ground, sis." Jason tried to convince her, exasperated. Thalia still looked uneasy, but slowly nodded.

"Fine...but if I die, I am so haunting you." She said.

Thalia gulped, glancing over the edge of the rock. She stepped forward-then pulled her foot back immediately, grabbing Jason again.

"I-I can't." Thalia's voice broke. He sighed and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Thalia, you're a daughter of Zeus. Lieutenant of Artemis, Queen of the Skies, conqueror of pine trees! You've fought tons of monsters, Thalia. If I can do it, you can. And I'm not nearly as strong as you." Jason persuaded her.

She sighed and gave in.

Closing her eyes, Thalia stepped over the edge. She fell for a millisecond, her eyes opening wide. Her arms flew out to her sides-and then she stopped. Thalia was hovering two feet above the ground. Her eyes grew wide as she slowly turned around to stare at Jason.

"I-Jason, I did it!" She shouted. Thalia flew up another foot in the air, pumping her fist. Then she made the mistake of looking down and froze again.

"Eep! Get me down from here!" She shouted, starting to fall. Jason jumped up, grabbing his sister. He slowly brought them back to the ground. She grumbled in annoyance.

"I could have done that...oh who am I kidding, I'm hopeless! I'll never get it..." She muttered. Jason grinned and wrapped his arm around her.

"It's cool, Thals. We'll get it next time, alright? Then when we find your friend, we can show off to him how cool Zeus is compared to Poseidon, right?" He joked with her. Thalia looked up and smiled slightly.

"Alright. And Jason?" She said.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"Thanks, Little Bro. For everything." She smiled. He groaned.

"Stop calling me that. I don't like being reminded that were related." He joked. She smiled and ruffled his hair.

"Come on, lunch time." She said. The two then walked off to the Mess Hall, laughing and sharing stories.

Thalia and Jason have to be my favorite pair of siblings in the series. They are just so...close, you know? I've always been able to relate, too, because I have a brother. Only he's older than me. Whatever... next up I'm thinking Percy and Tyson. You like?

Try to review, guys. It's good motivation.
