Yesterday, I was reading my E-mails, when I read one from Fanfiction. It was telling about The Assassin of Artemis. Imagine my surprise when I read "The Assassin of Artemis is following you." OMG! BTW, I do not own PJO.

After getting Nico cleaned up, which was a lot easier to do, now that Nico seemed to understand what caused her initial embarrassment, Thalia listened and agreed to Sally's invitation to go out for dinner at a restaurant.

"It's not fancy at all." Sally reassured her.

"I don't think my jagged hair would be admitted anyway." Thalia laughed.

Suddenly, a loud yelp came from the living room. Thalia whirled around to find Nico and Percy wrestling each other, both reaching for the TV remote.

"Bubble Goopies!" Nico screamed, pointing at what was already on the TV.

"Dora the Explorer!" Percy yelled back, yanking on Nico's hair.

"You shtupid!" Nico shouted.

Thalia rushed over to break them apart.

"Nico!" She scolded. "That's a bad word. Don't say it again! No more TV for either of you."

Sally stood behind her, smiling slightly. Percy ran over to her.

"No!" He screeched as Thalia turned off the TV.

So it was with two brooding children that Thalia and Sally entered the local "Applebee's."
