A/N: Awesome, third snippet already! Maybe I'll get Leyna next...or a Frazel...Well, for now, just enjoy some good Thaluke.


**Thalia**

"Luke, we need to move base." I tapped Aegis, and the shield transformed back into a silver bracelet. Luke stopped pounding on the tent stake and leaned forward. His eyebrows crumpled up in that cute way as he stared at me. "What happened? Did you...gods, Thals, you're bleeding!"

Luke brought out a First Aid kit and took out the bottle of hydrogen peroxide and a bandage. He gently swabbed the bandage over the small- okay, large- gash on my forehead. I blushed. "It was nothing, Luke, I'm fine. Just a stupid dracaena that wouldn't die."

"Thals, this…please, promise me you'll be more careful next time?" I snorted. "Not a chance, Luke." Luke grinned. "I had to try, right?" He took my face in his hands, and leaned closer. I stared into his sparkling, hard blue eyes. Was this really happening?

"Thalia, I think I lo-"

"Thalia, wake up, breakfast is ready!" I sat up, startled. 'It was all a dream,' I thought, and started to cry. "Thalia!" Luke jumped into the tent and crouched next to me. "Hey, are you okay?"

"Luke, I…" Luke wiped my cheek with his thumb and stared at me. "What's wrong?" He asked quietly. I looked into his beautiful blue eyes. How was I supposed to tell him how I felt? We were almost always on the run; nothing could ever really happen between us…could it?

I decided to take my chances. I pressed my lips against his, and wrapped my arms around his neck. Luke pushed away gently. "Thals," he whispered. I shook my head. "Luke, please. I- I really like you."

Luke stared at me in shock. "I love you too, Thals," he admitted.


Nicole: I KNEW IT!

Elizabeth: ^XD Well, why else would it be in here, if Luke didn't? Well, Thalia would be heartbroken for sure...

me: And we can't have that, can we? Now all I'm afraid of is Artemis- or worse, Thalia herself- coming after me and forcing me to join the Hunt.

Nicole: 0_o Yikes. No boys...for all eternity...

Elizabeth: No Leo...

me: O_O No Kameron...


A/N: Well, let's hope Artemis doesn't make me join the Hunters. Don't forget to review and send in some suggestions!
