Hello readers! It's me again... They STILL haven't met, and this is a pretty short and rubbish chapter, but hey. Enjoy & review as always!

ANNABETH:

"So, Annabeth, as we didn't do anything for your birthday, we're going to a café for a drink. Just the two of us!" Thalia smiled, and very nearly laughed.

Annabeth narrowed her eyes. "Why are you laughing?"

"Because... Laughing is fun! The happiest people live the longest lives!"

Annabeth raised an eyebrow.

"Just meet me at my house straight after school, kay?"

"Um, sure." Annabeth then muttered (mostly to herself) "It'll be fun."

Percy:

"Yo Perce, we're gonna get a drink at the café tonight. As a birthday thing... for, uh, me!" Nico said, eyes glued to the screen, playing an extremely gruesome video game.

"OK" He said, not really listening, more interested in the game he was playing, not realising that Nico's birthday was almost 4 months away.

"You have to look nice though, well, at least OK."

"I always look nice."

The two then sat in silence until 5:00, when they decided it was probably time to get ready.
