Note: this chapter takes place about a week after the last one. just wanted to make sure you guys knew that. Okay, on to the chapter.

Mirra point of view

"Hey, M. Wake up!"

I groaned, tossing to the other side of the bed grumpliy. I hate being woken up. Besides, it was Friday. I could sleep all I wanted.

"Mirra, come on." The person shaking me called. "You've got to see this."

Flopping over on my back, I cracked my eyes open. Just recently we had gotten me a nightstand lamp, so I could see the person's face. It was percy standing over me, still in his pyjamas, with a smile on his face. I noticed that there was no light shining though the curtains, so it probably still night."

"Hnn..." I groaned, rubbing my eyes. "What time is it?"

"Midnight" Percy answered. "But come on. There's something amazing happening."

I yawned. "What is it?"

"You'll just have to see for yourself. Do you want to see?"

Still half asleep, I nodded, wrapping my arms around Percy's neck. He picked me up in a position so I could rest me head on his shoulder. I wrapped my kegs around his waist. Closing my eyes, I let myself breath in his sweet sea-like scent

He slowly opened the door, probably because no one else was awake. He carried me down the stairs. I hear the creaking of a window and a gust of cold air hit my cheek. I buried my head further deep in his shoulder. I felt Percy swing out into the cold night air.

"Okay, look." Percy whispered.

I openers my eyes. We were out on the fire escape, and up in the sky, was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

The sky was lit up with bright silver light that appeared to be racing across the sky. There were a million stars out, probably more. The sky seemed as if it were a mix of dark blue and dark purple swirling around each other. The moon was full, lighting everything up in sight.

"Those are called shooting stars" Percy said, gesturing to the silver lights. "Its said that if you make a with on them, your wish will come true."

"Wow..."

"Yeah," Percy agreed. "It reminds me of something I saw once..."

Percy leaped up to sit on the rail of the fire escape. He put me in his lap. I rested my head on his chest. Percy wrapped one arm around me and used the other to keep his balance on the railing.

I closed my eyes and made my wish.

"I wish my big brother and I can be happy forever"

Percy noticed. "What'd you wish for?"

I giggled. "Can't tell you, or else it won't come true."

Percy chuckled. "Fair enough"

We watched the shooting stars some more. I also gazed at the other stars in the sky. There were so many of them. They were so pretty. They lite up the sky beautifully and perfectly, seeing as there wasn't a cloud in sight.

"They stars are so pretty" I finally said out loud."

"Have you spotted any constellations yet?" Percy asked.

I blinked. "What? What are those?"

"If you look closely, in the stars you'll see pictures" he pointed to a an area in the sky. "See, that's the big dipper." He connected the stars with his finger.

"I see it!"

Percy nodded. "And right there's the little dipper." He pointed to the area next to The Big Dipper. "And there's O'Ryan's belt" he pointed to a place a bit further out."

I looked around trying to find any more. I notice a patch of stars right next to the moon. I could make out a bow and arrow. I took a closer look and found it was really a person holding the bow, like she was hunting. I don't know how, but I knwe it was a girl.

"What the name of that one." I pointed.

For a split second, there was a flash of recognition in his eyes. "That's Zoè Nightshade, the huntress." He sighed. "There quiet a story that goes along with her."

"Really?" I asked. "Will you tell me?"

Percy only chuckled as his reliance as he shifted position on the railing. "Well, Zoè was a huntress of the Greek goddess, Artimis. She was also the daughter of Atlas, the titian who holds up the sky. Now, not much is known about her because she left her sisters to join the hunt. One day, lady Artemis got captured, and Zoè, along with four other were sent to rescue her. When they got to the place where Artemis was being kept, Zoè and one of the Half-bloods on this quest challenged him. She was knocked aside by Atlas, causing her to get injured. She was Artemis' lieutenant, and also her greatest friend. Artemis blessed her to rest in the stars, so she could always be by her side."

I hadn't realized I was getting teary eyed until after he finished telling the story. I quickly wiped them away with my sleeve. "Thats horrible! How could a father kill his own daughter."

"It was part of the prophecy" Percy said. "One shall fall by a parent's hand."

Percys's suddenly looked like he was a million miles away. His eyes filled with sadness as his grip on the rail tightened just the slightest bit.

"Percy?" I asked worriedly. "Are you okay?"

"Huh!" He looked at me. The sadness in his face disappeared and he smiled. "Yeah, just remembering a friend of mine."

He looked back at the falling stars. I looked up at the moon. I don't know if it was a trick of the light, but the moon suddenly appeared to be getting brighter. Percy laughed.

"What so funny,big brother?"

He chuckled and ruffled up my hair.

"Nothing M." He responded. "Nothing at all."

Artemis' point of view.

It was an absolute beautiful night. My father had kept the skies clear, so there were no clouds to block the view of the many stars. I had personally asked Hecate to create large balls of light to zoom across the sky as a treat to the mortals. And because of the magic in the air, the sky appeared to be changing colors.

I was currently above New York in my moon chariot. I would often look down to watch the mortals. Most were children, usually teenagers, sitting on there roofs watching the 'meteor shower'. None ever noticed me except a few nypths in central park.

As I was flying over, I noticed Percy Jackson sitting on his fire escape. I also noticed a young girl, no older that eight, sitting on his lap. He was pointing out constellations to her.

Then something caught my eye that shocked me to say the least.

Not many people know this, but gods have an ability to see other creatures aura. Everybody has an aura. Mortals auras are usually the color of there eyes, which surrounds there body's very faintly. Gods are the same way, only ours are much brighter with an outline of gold. Demigods also have bright auras, only there's are outlined with silver.

I saw Percys, bright green with the silver outline. Then the girls. It was hazel, just like her eyes, however, I could also see an orangeish red color below the hazel, the color of Apollo. There was no silver outline.

I quickly remembered what Apollo told me few weeks back, and chuckled at the irony.

"Oh, who would've thought." I mumbled, grinning slightly. "Apollo, you idiot."

I turned towards them again and waved. This caused my chariot to become brighter. I saw Percy laugh, probably as his way of saying hello. I chuckled once again before returning to the rains of my chariot.

Question for the readers: do you guys think I should do a chapter about Percy dealing with Mirra's first crush?

Oh, and by the way, this story is set in a world where Hero's Of Olympus never happened. So don't get confused in the next chapter.
