Thank you all for favorite (ing) and story alerting and reviewing and following. I love you guys. BTW, I don't own PJO or HOO.
Percy happily went with Annabeth; after listening to Thalia's warning that he actually had to sleep.
"I will come and take you away without a second thought." Thalia cautioned.
"Bye Mama." Percy waved to her.
Thalia looked at Nico and resisted the urge to curse under her breath.
"Evangeline?" Nico asked hopefully.
"I'm going, I'm going." Thalia reassured him.
She sucked in all her pride, and knocked on the pink door of the Aphrodite cabin.
Lucille, a seven year old, answered.
"Is Evangeline here?" Thalia asked, hoping she didn't look too scary.
Lucille gulped and nodded fearfully.
"Yes?" Evangeline's eyes lit up at the sight of Nico.
"Um, I have no idea how to put this, but Nico, really likes your cabin, and um, you. He wanted to sleep here tonight, because my cabin…well, it's a little wet. Would that be okay?" Thalia muttered.
"Of course!" Evangeline squealed. She wrapped her arms around Nico and planted a kiss on his cheek.
Thalia sucked in a breath. "If there is any problem, let me know. I'll either be in the Artemis cabin or with the Athena kids. And, you, Nico, you need to sleep, understand?"
"Bye, Mama." Nico wrapped his arms loosely around Evangeline neck, and laid his head on her shoulder.
Thalia quickly hurried over to the Artemis cabin, where a ten year old, Asia, was waiting for her.
"Phoebe asked me to tell you that day after tomorrow, Saturday, we're going out to New York City. She said maybe you could stay with, Salla? Sally? Some Percy's mom or something." Asia whispered.
Thalia nodded. "Where is Phoebe?"
"She is sleeping. It was my turn to watch. In an hour, it will be Marina's." Asia explained.
"Do you think I could crash here tonight? My cabin's flooded and the kids are sleeping with two different people." Thalia swallowed her pride, again. Why should she have to ask a ten year old if she could stay in her own cabin?
"Absolutely." Asia nodded.
Thalia silently entered her cabin. Asia hurried over to Phoebe and shook her awake. She explained the predicament quietly, and Phoebe nodded and smiled sympathetically at Thalia. Thalia grabbed her pajamas from her own bunk that she usually had and hit the showers. After that, she relaxed and let herself fall asleep in her bunk.
When Thalia woke up Friday morning, she almost thought that the entire of yesterday had been a dream. Then, Percy jumped into her view.
"Shush." He whispered in her ear.
Thalia pulled herself up and looked around.
The cabin was fairly empty. Only Percy and Nico were sitting almost silently, watching her.
"Annabeth gave me a shower." Percy said, pointing to his new T-shirt.
"Very nice." Thalia muttered.
"Evangeline shower." Nico pointed to himself.
Thalia's eyes bulged out. Nico was wearing a pink T-shirt with the word "Princess," and blue jeans with a butterfly printed on the leg.
"Nico, are you a girl or a boy?" Thalia asked rhetorically.
"Nico girl. No. Nico boy." Nico corrected after seeing Thalia's "this is unbelievable" expression.
"I'm hungry." Percy sighed.
Yeah, this one wasn't as good as the other ones, but I figured Thalia kind of needed a break. Read and Review! I love reading reviews!
