Me: I don't own Percy Jackson or any of the characters but I do own the story line and I get to decide what happens next. * Evil laugh* Muhahahahahaha!

Percy: Uh oh…

Nico: This is not good…

Me: Read on and don't forget to review!


Thalia's POV

Percy and I walked out of my cabin, our bags packed and over our shoulders. He had come over to check if this was some kind of practical joke they were pulling on him, but as soon as he saw my packed bag, he gave up the idea immediately.

The noon sunlight blazed and I blinked a couple times for my eyes to adjust. When I finally stopped seeing black spots, I looked around to see a familiar black form stepping out of the Hades cabin.

"Hey, Nico!" Percy yelled, waving his hands in the air until the child of Hades spotted him.

Nico trotted towards us with his black duffle bag slung across his shoulders. "What's up?" he asked. He smiled, but it seemed a little forced. I knew he must have been thinking about how if his sister, Bianca, hadn't gone on the quest and died, she would have gone on this trip with us. I missed Bianca and just thinking about her made me sad.

Percy shrugged. "Nothing much. Can't wait for our 'bonding trip'"

I stifled a groan. Artemis had also informed me that we wouldl be on this trip for 5 days. 5 whole days with males! Just thinking about it gave me a headache. "What do you think we're going to do?" I asked.

It was Nico's turn to shrug. "Dunno, but it can't be good."

I looked down at my silver watch to check the time, which was 11:58; the gods could arrive any second now.

The watch was a gift from my dad and even though I never admitted it, it is my favorite magic item, besides Aegis. It could double as a watch, a make-up kit (which I've never used and was courtesy of Aphrodite), a flash light, a walkie talkie, and an iPod. Cool, eh?

"The gods are going to arrive any minute now," I told them. Then I sigh. "If only we could make this trip more interesting."

Percy's sea green eyes were thoughtful. "We could do something to mess with our dads"

Nico nodded his head slowly, taking to the idea. "So what should we do?" he asked.

I thought for a moment then snapped my fingers. "I got it!"

Beckoning them to come closer, and I leaned my head in to whisper.

"We should…"

Percy's POV

Thalia leaned in, her electric blue eyes sparkling with mischief. "We should act like each other and see our dad's reactions."

I grinned, thinking about how Hades would react if Nico started acting like Thalia. "So I act like Nico, Nico acts like you, and you act like me?"

"Wait!" Nico protested, "Why do I have to act like Thalia?"

Thalia swatted the back of his head. "Why do I have to act like Thalia?" she mimicked perfectly. "Because it will drive our dads insane this way!"

"Fine" He grumbled. Then, he brightened and looked at me. "So how are you going to imitate me?" he asked.

"Easy," I said. I ruffled my hair so it hung over my eyes and sauntered over to one of the patches of shadow beside the Zeus cabin. I leaned against the wall, stuck my hands in my jeans pockets and pitching my voice so it was like Nico's, I said darkly; "I'm Nico di'Angelo, Ghost King and child of the Underworld."

"That sounded ridiculous." Someone said beside me. The air shimmered and Annabeth materialized, holding her Yankees cap of invisibility in her hand. She grinned, grey eyes amused but something in her smile wavered slightly.

"Vacation with the gods, huh?" She asked, and I nodded- the prospect sounded even more peculiar coming from her mouth. She pursed her lips a little, and tilted her head. "I'll miss you- a little." She admitted.

"Ditto, Wise girl," I replied. Then, I got a brilliant idea (and yes, I do get those once In a while.)"Why don't you see if you can sneak along with us? You could try riding Blackjack and with your cap of invisibility…"

She thought for a moment. "I could try…" she said slowly.

"Percy!" Nico called in a high voice that was supposed to be Thalia's. "The gods are coming, hurry!"

"Yeah Seaweed brain, come on!" Thalia said in a perfect imitation of my voice. It was creepy how much she sounded like me.

I thought quickly, trying to put together a plan. Funny. Annabeth was usually the one with the plan, but now she said nothing.

"I need to go," I told her in a rush. "Get Blackjack and tell him that this is a favor from me. Be sure to give him lots of sugar cubes and apples and well…"

I leaned in and kissed her gently. "Just in case this doesn't work. I'll see you soon"

I turned and in a bad imitation of Nico's voice, I called "Coming!" and walked back the where they were standing.

We looked as the space before us started to bend and tremble with the god's arrival. My cousins stood beside me and as three dark silhouettes began to emerge, I heard Nico mutter, "Highway to hell, here we come."


Please review! I know making them act like each other wasn't the best way to annoy the gods, but I was bored. If you have any ideas of what should happen or where they should go, please either PM me, or write it in your review!

Also, would names for the chapters be helpful? If you have Ideas for the chapters names, please do tell! This also includes the first chapter so please, help me name them!

I'll try to update soon but I don't have internet for a couple days so hang in there!

(Sorry for all the exclamation marks!)
