Annabeth hadn't been able to talk to me all week since her siblings always steered her away from me when she or I tried to talk to each other. It was lonely being the daughter of the queen goddess. Everyone was afraid to talk to me except Jamie and his sister Clarisse. They continued their antics, teasing at me and even started to throw pomegranates at me. Still the teasing was better than sitting in my cabin feeling Hera glaring at me as if I did something wrong.

Dinner was the worst though. I had to eat alone at my own table that had gotten built thanks to Charles Beckendorf. While everybody was laughing at their tables I had to turn away hearing the taunts from the Ares table and the hushed whispers of gossip from the daughters and sons of Aphrodite.

However one day Silena Beauregard decided to wake me up. "Helen,"she said shaking me awake at the crack of dawn.

"Go away,"I moan and turn putting my back towards Silena.

She tore my blanket off and the freezing air of the temple made my skin crawl with goosebumps. "Get up we are going to go do something,"she tells me. I got up reluctantly and meet Silena outside after I changed into tattered jeans that I rolled up to prevent from tripping over them and a red t-shirt that had pocket on the right side.

"Where are we going,"I asked sleepily following her through the camp. She didn't say and continued to lead me through the camp until we reached the stables were the Pegasus were. "Why am I here all the Pegai hate me,"I remind her.

"A new one just appeared yesterday," Silena explained to me. "He has this beautiful white horse. Very elegant but won't let anyone touch him. Everybody has tried but you." She led me through the empty stables and to the open field in the back.

My eyes found the white Pegasus instantly. The first thought in my head was, show off because the way th e horse stood was like a model in horse form. "His name we think is Tiffany," Silena told her.

"His?"

"Apparently so,"she confirmed.

Tiffany stood with in a way that his long lanky legs showed off his legs and his head was thrown up with the warm wind blowing through his sterling white mane. The rest of the pegai were grounded around him neighing to each other like they were talking about Tiffany. Silena pushed me towards him," Go on and try to pet him."

I took slow steps to the Pegasus, he hadn't moved from his position at all. Tiffany was like a statue and when I touched his silky smooth coat an sound of approval came from Silena. "He's yours," she told me. Tiffany still didn't move as I stroked his back. It was only when I attempted to touch his mane that he tried to bite me. He neighed and settled for bonking me hard in the head with the side of his face.

"Ow, you butt head,"I exclaim and push his mouth out of the way of my face. We got in a slapping battle, Tiffany slapping me with his tail, hair and his own face and me pushing my around. "You know your related t oa donkey which makes you an-"

Tiffany's wing knocked me off my feet into a stinking pile of manure. I gag at the awful smell, before Camp Half Blood I thought Pegai pooped rainbows but now I was certain they pooped actual poop. I looked at the white Pegasus and then back at myself. I take a handful of manure and threw it at Tiffany hitting his side. His head whipped towards me and I stood up. Tiffany's nostrils flared and I grabbed more manure. We charged at each other and I threw all the manure at him and tackled him.

Tiffany and I were covered from head to toe in manure. We smelled like a mix the Hermes cabin before laundry day and rotting meat. We both looked over at the sound of laughter, Silena was on the ground laughing her head off. Tiffany got up and so did I we looked at each other and I grabbed a handful of poop. I followed Tiffany over to Silena and while I threw the manure at her Tiffany shook the manure off of himself. She shrieked and rolled to the stables before standing up.

"You two,"she growled. I plastered a playful smile on my face and she smiled before going to go clean herself off. Tiffany and I bonked heads in celebration.

Cleaning him was the easiest chore in the world since the manure came off of Tiffany's coat so easily. I hosed myself down drenching myself. The stench still hung thick and the manure stains didn't leave the shirt. Tiffany laughed as if this was funny.

"Why does it smell so bad back here,"Annabeth's voice asks as she peaks past the wall of the stables. "Helen!"

"Annabeth,"I cried out and we hugged.

"You smell awful,"she told me.

"It's all Tiffany's fault,"I tell her pulling away and gesturing to the Pegasus. "He pushed me into a pile of manure." Annabeth laughed and Tiffany whinnied.

"Only you would get a Pegasus that pushes you in a pile of poo and is named Tiffany,"she said.

"There will be others,"I tell her. I leave Tiffany to stand like the model he is while Annabeth and I go to my cabin.

"I don't like the feel of this place,"she says. I knew how Annabeth felt because it was how I felt when I first walked in, unwelcomed and cold.

"Well you want to help me make it homier?"I ask.

"Of course,"she said and left quickly only to come back with a picture. It was of me and her last year, all clad in armor a few cuts on their arms and faces. My shirt was obviously torn at the side but we were smiling hoisting a banner above our heads.

"This was the best day of my life,"I told her.

"Our teamwork and Luke's skill with a sword lead our capture the flag team to victory,"she reminded me. She took a tape dispenser out of her pocket and we taped the picture to the wall. The feeling in the cabin lightened and I grinned at Annabeth.

"Your cabin,"I say
"Can deal with me being friends with a daughter of Hera,"she exclaimed.
