Author's Note: Thank you to WriterFreak101 for reviewing. This chapter has a time skip in it. It starts after the dance ends. I wanted to clarify so no one would be confused. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

One of the only reasons Lady Artemis let me come to this dance was our limo arrangement. Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Juniper were in one limo and the thought of that much adorableness in one limo made me very glad that I did not have to watch it. Luke and Nico were in one limo. Why and how they got a thirteen year old into a high school dance beats me. I got a limo all to myself because I am special and my half-sister did not want me to be more contaminated by the presence of men then I had to be. When I got into the limo to go to back to camp, I started thinking and I zoned out a bit.
"Hello Thalia." I heard and as I came back to reality I saw my half-sister, Artemis.
"Hello Lady Artemis, when did you get here?" I asked.
"Not long, just a few minutes." She said.
"I must have been lost in thought." I said.
"I could see that. Were you thinking about anything specifically?" She asked, probing.
"Nothing important." I said and shrugged nonchalantly. There were some things that she did not need to know and people that did not need to be turned into jackalopes.
"I have a very talkative sister who has told me otherwise." She said. Stupid Aphrodite.
"Do not listen to her. I do not trust him let alone love him. He lost that a long time ago." I said and it seemed to calm her. It would have worked too if two stupid demigods had not decided to shadow travel into my limo.
"Lady Artemis. I did not realize you were here. We were just leaving." Luke said and you could tell he was both embarrassed and scared. Nico, on the other hand, looked like he was having fun. He was very bitter and loved above all else to annoy Artemis. After a few moments of incredible awkwardness, Nico managed to shadow travel them back to their own limo. Throughout this whole exchange I had this smirk on my face. It was absolutely hilarious.
"Thalia, what is so funny?" She asked after they had left.
"Did you see the look on his face?" I asked.
"Yes, I did. He looked quite mischievous until he saw me. What do you think he was planning?" She asked.
"I do not know and do not think that I want to." I said, but my mind travelled elsewhere. What had he been about to say to me? The logical part of my brain quickly shut that thought down. Why do you care? You are the Lieutenant of the Hunters not a boy crazy teenager. When I stopped scolding myself we had reached camp.
"I will allow you to go to your cabin and change your clothes but I expect you back shortly." She said and I could tell she was still worried.
"Do not worry about me. I will back quicker than you can say 'All men are idiots"'. I said and she smiled. She shimmered away and I got out of the limo. I was determined to get to my cabin and back to the Hunters as soon as possible, but apparently Aphrodite had made some kind of deal with the Fates because when I opened the door to my cabin someone was already there.
