Annabeth POV: Didn't see that coming

"Oh my gods, Kate!" I practically shouted. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. She couldn't have!

"Shh! You can't tell anyone! If someone asks I can't lie! So don't say anything!" She told me apprehensively.

"I can't believe Thalia did that though! I guess I should have seen it coming though, she did always like Nico." I said, thinking back on all the times I remembered Thalia flirting with Nico.

"Yeah, I heard that Artemis like begged her to stay, but she said that she loved Nico too much, and that she couldn't stay, but that she would miss all of them." She said.

"Whoa, I can't believe Thalia quit the hunters to be with Nico" I said.

"How long have they been together?" I asked.

"Since they came to the shroud burning ceremony last year." She said quietly, knowing that it was a touchy subject. Both Nico and Thalia had been there when Percy and I had to burn the shroud of our unborn child.

"I'm still really sorry about that, Annabeth." She said, trying to comfort me, realizing I was tearing up.

"It's alright." I said, forcing a smile. "Still, I can't believe Thalia and Nico! That's crazy!" I said to her, still astounded.

"I know!" she said, her expression similar to mine.

"She got here this morning you know." Kate informed me, and I could see a smirk growing on her face.

"Well then lets go find her, Pinocchio!" I told her. Everyone at camp had started to call Kate Pinocchio because she was a terrible liar.

We started looking for Thalia, so we went to cabin 1, figuring she would be there. And when we got to the cabin, we saw a lot more than Thalia unpacking. She was having a make out session with Nico. And, I know Percy and I did this too, but this was Thalia and Nico. It was so bizarre.

"HOLY ZEUS!" I shrieked, and Thalia screamed.

"Annabeth! What are you doing here?" She yelped, and Nico was looking like he was about to blow up from humiliation.

"We heard you left the hunt." Kate squeaked. "I guess it's true." she whispered after.

"Yeah, I, uh, left the hunt." She managed, going red in the face. "Whoa, Annabeth! What is that on your finger?" She shouted.

"Didn't I tell you?" Nico said softly.

"Percy proposed this morning." I said in a pretty girly voice. But then I realized she was trying to change the subject.

"But, Thalia! Why didn't you tell me you and Nico were dating?" I asked her. She looked over a Nico who smiled at her.

"I don't know, it more fun because it was secret." She said, as if it should be obvious.

"But aren't you like 25?" Kate asked. I knew that she understood that it was an odd question, but since she was ADHD like most of us, I was aware of the fact that we all blurt things out, because we don't really know how to filter words.

"Do I look 25?" Thalia asked, pointing to herself, and she didn't look anywhere near 25. She was 15, just as she had been when she joined the hunt.

"But you're going to age like normal again, aren't you?" I asked.

"Most likely." She said. "But it's okay, because Nico is 18, and it would be weird if he dated a girl that never looked older than 15." She said.

I though about that, I realized that she had left the hunt for Nico, not only for the reason that she loved him, but also that she might want to grow up with him and maybe start a family, much like Percy and I.

"Well I'm happy for you!" I said, giving her a immense hug.

"Thanks Annabeth, and I want to hear everything about the proposal at dinner!" She said winking at me.

"Sure thing." I said. "You're going to be staying a camp now, right?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm going to probably go to Goode high school with Nico, too." She told me.

"Hey, I go there too!" Kate said, giving Thalia a warm smile.

"I like you. You're gonna be a good friend of mine, I can feel it." She said, looking at Kate. Kate smiled at her, seeming pleased with herself.
