Thalia sat alone at the Zeus table listening to the Aphrodite kids argue across the room about their favorite couples. It irritated her how loud they were being. No one wanted to hear it.

No seriously. Nobody.

That particular day though, was the one time she was glad she had listened to them. Otherwise she would never have learned about... Thalico.

Yes. Thalico.

"I think Travis and Katie are the cutest." Kaylyn said.

"Nah. Percy and Annabeth are." Destiny argued.

"No. Piper and Jason are," Tiffany said, staring at her much older cabin counselor in admiration.

"Ugh. Definitely not." Drew sneered.

"I kicked your ass before, I'll do again. But this time, it won't be a figure of speech." Piper said to her.

"Well..." said Madison, the only girl still loyal to Drew.

"No one asked for your two cents." Lilli said.

"Well, how about Connico." Lacy asked. She thought they were extremely cute together.

"No. Just no, " answered Nevada.

" Yeah! Thalico is much better." Janessa replied.

"Wait, guys. What happened to Thaleo?" asked a confused and bored Piper.

"They aren't cute together anymore." replied Nevada.

" So... Thalia and Nico, the gay son of Hades, is better?" asked Destiny confused.

"Damn right." responded Janessa.

Thalia was furious. Nico? Gross!

Thalia told Connor, Leo, and Nico to meet her by the big house after dinner. When they all had shown up, she started an almost incoherent rant about Thalico, using a few choice words. And very colorful words they were.

When she was done, Nico was the first one to speak up. "Wait, so... The Aphrodite kids think you and me should be a couple. That's ridiculous."

"Yeah. Everyone knows Nico's gay and Thalia's MINE." Leo said angrily.

"Well, at least you guys have a good pairing name." Connor said. " I've heard much worse. I've heard Peetniss, Galeniss, Tynka, Runther, Percabeth, and Jasper."

"What in the hell is Jasper?" Nico asked.

"Jason and Piper, duh." Leo said.

"No it's not. I was told it was Jiper." Said Thalia.

"No. It's Jasper. Jason and Piper told me themselves." Leo said back. This responded with his girlfriend doing what the majority of women supposedly do when they're told they're wrong. Whatever that is, I have no idea.

Five minutes later, Connor and Nico separated the feuding couple.

"Guys. Quit fighting. We have to figure out what to do with this Thalico business." Connor said, aggravated.

"I know." said Nico. "We should sneak out of camp and go hunt and kill this Thalico once and for all!"

"Yeah!" The other three cheered.

So off they went.

Once the four were out of camp, Thalia looked at the other three and said, " How do we start looking?"

"Didnt you used to be a Hunter?" Nico asked her.

"I've never hunted this before." She explained.

"Well, neither have we." Leo and Connor said in unison. This started another fight, which Nico had to separate all by himself.

"Will the three of you knock it off? You're so loud people in China could hear you." Nico yelled over the noise. The other three just stood in shock.

"Thank you guys for finally shutting up. Now anyone have any ideas as to how to find this Thalico?"

"Hmmm... How about we find a really good hunter?" Said Leo.

"Artemis!" All of the demigods said simultaneously.
