A/N: Thanks to all my reviewers now on with the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own it all belongs to Rick Riordan.

Percy POV

"I think it's wonderful your kids are together. And Zeus just because you don't like Hades doesn't mean it should interfere. Just because I don't like Athena didn't mean I made Percy stay away from Annabeth."

I blushed at that. Now that I thought about it my dad was fine with me being with Annabeth. Even though he hated her mother Athena.

"Yea my dad's way more mature then you. At least he steps back to look at the whole picture and not the little imperfections. He actually wants me to be happy. And you know what else he's not a big jerk like you!"

"Percy," my father warned.

"Oh really if you think I'm such a bad parent why wasn't Poseidon there for you?"

"He was there for me more than you ever were for Thalia!"

"Percy don't get me into this." Thalia said.

"Well if you think Poseidon and Hades are such good parents why don't you go on their side!"

"Brother when did we start taking sides?" my dad asked.

"Ever since that stupid son of yours angered angered me!"

"I didn't do anything to you."

"Well may the best side win!"

I stood there shocked as Zeus turned in a puff of smoke. This was just great.

Nico POV

I couldn't believe what just happened. Zeus is angry. Poseidon and Hades were making a battle plan and Percy sat by a tree looking guilty. Now Thalia and I were standing awkwardly next to each other. Suddenly Thalia decided to ask the unnerving question.

"So where does that leave us?"

To answer her question I carefully slipped my hand into hers and smiled up at her. She smiled at me widely before kissing my cheek. Today was the best day of my life.

Percy POV

While we walked back to the main part of camp I kicked a few rocks on the way yelling at myself, STUPID STUPID STUPID! Why couldn't I just shut my big mouth? Why'd I have to go and call Zeus a jerk when I could've just watch the three Gods bicker. Great, now I feel guilty.

I walked over to the Athena cabin hoping Annabeth was there. Thank the Gods she was. I almost knocked her over with the hug I gave. It was just so nice to be around Annabeth it was like a huge burden was lifted from my shoulders.

Annabeth smiled up at me. "Someone's in a hugging mood."

She gave me a light kiss on the lips and smiled lightly as she pulled away. I had a cocky grin on my face.

"Looks like someone's in a kissing mood."

" Maybe. But first how was your day?"

I frowned at that. "Let's go to the beach. I'll explain there."

At the beach:

"So what's wrong?" Annabeth asked.

"Well I kinda started another war?" It was a statement that ended up as a question.

Annabeth looked at me confused. "How could you start a war?"

I retold everything from Nico and Thalia kissing to calling Zeus a jerk and a bad parent. The whole time Annabeth didn't interrupt. She just listened and nodded her head at certain points. I tooked her other hand and stopped her dead in her tracks. She looked up at me and smiled I had to ask her this nagging question.

"You're not mad at me?"

"Of course I'm not seaweed brain, why would I be?"

"Because I messed up again. I can never do anything right. If I wouldn't have been born the second biggest fight of the century wouldn't be starting. The first one wouldn't have happened either."

"Percy please don't say that if you wouldn't have been born I don't know where I would be now. And the prophecy would've happened anyway because Nico was still going to get older. Don't blame yourself, you only stuck up for your friends, that wasn't and isn't a crime and if you asked anyone else at camp they would say the same. Plus, I don't think anyone could've lead us into battle better than you could. No offense to Nico."

"Aw, thanks wise girl. I love you."

"I love you too seaweed brain."

And that's how we stayed the remainder of the day until the conch horn signaling dinner was blown. Annabeth and I headed off to the mess hall.

After dinner I walked Annabeth back to the Athena cabin.

"Goodnight."

"'Night."

"Love you."

"Love you, too."

I planted a soft kiss on her lips and waited for her to go inside. Then I walked off to get a good night's sleep.

On Olympus:

Artemis POV

This is very unfair. Dad took me away from my Hunters just because Apollo's chariot has a dent in it. It's not my fault there was a teeny dent in his chariot, mine was fine so why should I care. Plus, why did they have to send them to that horrible camp with all those boy campers just hitting puberty… the torture my poor Hunters were going through.

I decided to check on them. I checked on my lieutenant, Thalia.

I saw her walking in the woods. Which she usually did when she needed to clear her head. She jumped a little and someone came out from the shadows. It was that wretched son of Hades. What's his name? Hmm… Oh I remember now, his name is Nico.

I wasn't surprised when I saw her smile. They were friends before she became a Hunter so it was no doubt they would still be friends. Even though he could be trusted because I trusted Thalia's judgment I still didn't like the fact that my Hunter's were anywhere near boys.

Suddenly I saw her put a hand on his shoulder at arm's length. They stood there for a few minutes. As I watched I heard Aphrodite squeal in the room over. No, no, no, no Thalia, no! I screamed in my head. What I saw horrified me to no end. Thalia Grace and Nico di Angelo KISSING! What has this world come to? I screamed my lungs out. I was probably heard all over Olympus but I didn't care. This was the most painful thing I've ever witnessed.
