"Hades, yeah!" Thalia shouted, her evil/maniac expression on.

"Thalia…" I sighed, but nothing could ruin my good mood right now.

"Oh my gods, now I can start imagining the reunion. Ooh, I've got it! Annabeth walks up to Percy, and they start like making out, and Thalia's all like "Ahem," and they jump apart. And then Annabeth starts killing Percy, and Thalia goes to help. And then all that's left is…" She paused dramatically. "A burnt pile of kelp!"

We stared at each other, and cracked up. I mean, really cracked up. Soon we were rolling on the ground outside the Zeus Cabin, clutching our sides and out of breath.

"The… funny… thing… is… I… can… totally… see… that… happening!" I gasped.

And if demi-godly possible, we laughed even louder. People were starting to stare. Leo and Jason were approaching us with amused expressions on their faces.

"Yo, who started the par-tay?" Leo asked, smirking.

"Ask…Thalia," I managed.

"Tell…you…later," she gasped out.

A few minutes later, we had stopped laughing. Thalia & I went to tell Chiron the news. Unluckily, Mr. D answered the door. He groaned.

"What do you want, Annie Bell and Tala?" He asked.

"Can we please see Chiron, Mr. D? We have something important to tell him," I asked politely.

"Humph. Chiron, the brats want to talk to you!" Dionysus called the centaur. A few moments later, Chiron trotted in.

"Hello, Annabeth and Thalia. Do excuse us, Mr. D," Chiron requested.

"Whatever," Dionysus said. He walked out of the room with a Diet Coke.

We all sighed.

"What is it you wanted to talk to me about, child?" Chiron asked kindly.

"Athena sent me a dream about Percy. He was talking to Lupa, and he said he had gotten a dream from Hera. Apparently, Hera told him that we would be coming in the Argo II on a diplomatic mission, and Jason would be with us. Lupa knows that Jason's here, and that his memory was wiped. And she knows Percy's a Greek, but she also knows that this has to do with the Great Prophecy, and therefore won't hurt him," I said, my throat feeling dry. "And… and Percy had a dream… and… he remembers almost everything."

"That is wonderful news, child! It's helpful of Lady Hera to tell them that we were coming in peace, or the Romans might slay you before you touch the very ground," Chiron said.

"Happy thoughts, Chiron," Thalia said sarcastically.

"I'm just pointing it out, Thalia."

The conch horn blew. "Go to breakfast. You need your strength for the Argo II," Chiron smiled. And Thalia and I went off for breakfast, laughing about burnt kelp.


After lunch, Thalia, Jason, Piper, Leo and I sat talking at the beach.

"Okay, worst battle injury," Jason suggested.

"Both legs broken," Thalia said.

"Broken arm," Jason stated.

"Twisted ankle," Piper reported.

"None. Yet," Leo piped in.

'Stabbed in the arm with a poisoned knife," I winced, rubbing the scar on my arm.

Do you always have to win?" Leo asked.

"Trust me, I would much rather have twisted my ankle," I muttered darkly.

Cue subject change. "Funniest moment," Leo suggested.

I looked around for Grover, because he was part of my story. Finally, I spotted him. "Hey, Grover! Come here for a sec!" I called, and he came trotting over.

Hey," Grover said, and gave Thalia and I big hugs. Piper, Jason and Leo looked confused, so Grover introduced himself.

"Hi! I'm Grover:Lord of the Wild, Chosen one of Pan, and Vice Leader of the Council of Cloven Elders," he said.

"That's a lot of titles, dude," Leo said. "Coach Hedge was only a Protector."

"Anyway, back to the funny moments: My first quest was with Percy and Grover. We got really bored, so we started to play Hacky Sack with an apple," I said, smiling wickedly at Grover, who was turning red. "All went well until the apple came too close to Grover's mouth. And in one super-mega satyr bite, the apple disappeared. Whole. Nothing was left." Now everyone was laughing.

"Way to go, goat boy!" Thalia snickered.

"I've already told you, it was a mistake!"

Apparently, Thalia took pity on him, because she changed the subject.

"Hey goat boy! Remember the dam snack bar?" She asked, howling with laughter, and soon Grover joined in.

'What?' I asked, confused.

"When you were kidnapped, Zoë, Percy, Grover and I went to Hoover Dam," She explained. I shivered when she said kidnapped, but remembered the facts.

"700 feet tall," I said. "Built in the 1930s."

"Five million cubic acres of water," Thalia said, and exchanged a weak grin with Grover.

"Largest construction project in the United States," Grover finished.

"Whoa, how do you know all these facts? Are you, like an evil demonic textbook monster in disguise?" Leo asked.

"That would be because of me," I said sheepishly.

"Annabeth, just because you're a child of Athena doesn't mean you have to be a human encyclopedia and fill your friends ears with useless knowledge," Leo laughed, and I punched him on the arm.

'Would you like me to tell Annabeth about what happened in that cave, when Lycaon's minions showed up?" Piper asked Leo, and he shifted uncomfortably. Fortunately, for him, the conch horn rang for dinner, and he jumped up at rocket speed.

"Thank the gods!" He yelped, and scrambled up to his feet. "Gotta-go-bye!"

We all laughed at his uncomfort. I turned to Piper.

"You'll tell me later, right?' I asked her as we got up. She nodded and we left for dinner.
