Third Person POV

There was a silence as Thalia explained what happened ,but Annabeth was wondering why would Percy do that? She didn't even say anything mean about his mother. She only insulted the raising of Percy. Annabeth was also frustrated ,but she also knew that she was missing some important piece of information that would make this past fight make sense if she just knew it.

"You just slammed it in her face? I don't see how this has anything to do with the whole picture.."Annabeth said thinking it over. She didn't get much of any of the stories they were talking about with the exception of the first one. But that was one also about her.

"Yea I really wasn't over our whole fight yet.." Percy said nervously as Annabeth was laughing so hard she could barely breath. "But we eventually made up and this is were we 'know' each other 'so well'." Percy said making lots of air quotes and looking at Nico who was sound asleep on a couch and half falling off.

"Oh god...you..Thalia.." She laughed pointing at them on the separate couches. She cleared herself up and looked at Percy to continue again.

"Well I wanted to punch him in the face ,but lucky I restrained myself from doing anything drastic." Thalia said rubbing her hands together like she regretted not punching him. " But what happened after that is the more important part.."

FLASHBACK

Percy went back to sit on the couch slightly annoyed and wondering why Thalia even bothered to come to his apartment. He was not ready to see her yet let alone have her in front of his freaking door hitting it like a manic. She was persistent though because the minute he sat down she started hitting it again. For almost 5 minutes actually till he just go so annoyed he walked over opened the door and looked at her,

"Thalia! Stop it! And oh yah, LEAVE!" He shouted slamming the door again waiting to hear the reverberation of the door slamming into the frame and trying to bounce off ,but stopping because of the catch. But he didn't so he slowly turned around hoping he didn't break anything. But he did and Thalia was standing there with her foot out where the door would close and the door open like he opened it himself. She walked into the room without a second thought. 'She's been here enough to make it an impulse' He thought bitterly before sitting back down and turning the TV on.

He had the remote in hand mostly so she wouldn't take it and turn it off and forced him to actually talk or even look at her. Sure he was acting like a brat ,but he liked acting like a brat sometimes and others he would even describe it as 'fun'. Yet right now he regretted it somewhere inside him ,but that part was so detached he didn't actually care. At all. She opened her mouth to speak ,but then was stopped by he rising volume of the TV which was controlled by Percy. She closed her mouth and it seemed to go back down.

"That's it!" She muttered and snarled at the same time. She walked over and pulled the remote out of Percy's hand and slapped him as hard as she could which was pretty damn hard. But that seemed to knock him back into reality and realize he was in a fight with Thalia the person who he was the closest to other then Grover and Nico. The sole person that knew everything about him and could easily tell everything to anyone she wished. Yet he could do the same thing to her.

Though as the slap registered in his brain he did nothing and just let it sink in and for just a second everything was silent no one moved or even breathed and then it came like a tidal wave as if someone had been holding it back and they suddenly collapsed.

"I'm sorry.." They both said quickly and then were silent again. Thalia smiled weakly, "Jinx," She said lightly laughing which was joined in by Percy in a couple seconds. She plopped down on the couch next to him and continued to talk , "I had no right to say anything about you know and I'm sorry to claiming you got us lost because you ended up winning the game anyway's.."

Percy looked at her with a look that was serious so serious that she only ever saw once before. She knew that if he forgave her so easily she should thank her lucky stars ,but she knew that she was due for a small speech served up Percy Jackson style.

"You-" He pointed at her, "Are absolutely right you didn't have that right ,but then again I didn't have the right to say what I said before that. But I still think I shouldn't of called you a bitch ,but you were acting like one," He paused. Thalia was about to start talking ,bug he held his hand up waiting to be to close her mouth so he could continue, " Also I accept your apology on one condition," He said looking at her again standing up. Thalia rolled her eye's knowing it would be stupid, "Give. Me. That. Damn. Remote. " He spoke so slowly it made her burst out laughing.

"You are so stupid sometimes," She laughed looking into his eyes. For a moment when their eye's connected everything just seemed to stop and wait till something happened. She slowly rose off the couch and kissed him lightly. It wasn't a big oh-my-god imaginary fireworks explode over head type of kiss it was a sweet time slowing down type of kiss. Maybe it wasn't Percy's best ,but to him it was a new kind a better yet different kind and to Thalia it was her first.

After a few moments they broke apart and Percy hugged Thalia and whispered, "Will you go out with me?" So lightly she could barley hear it. She nodded slightly looking up into his eye's again.

Third Person POV

Annabeth was laying sideways' on the couch while Percy this time explained what happened and winced at a couple parts as if they were painful to speak of. Thalia just sat there starring at the ceiling letting whatever Percy said seep in and bring back memories of her own.

"Wow intense," Annabeth said in a dead tired voice. 'Sure as hell it is fun listening to them' she thought , ', But I'm so damn tired!' . But she knew that if she got up and aft now then she would never hear what actually happens in the end and she would rather hear that then anything. "Must've been fun.."

Percy shot Annabeth a look that mixed between 'I'm sorry' and 'I said it was the past' type of look so she just shut her mouth and let Thalia continue this time.

Flashback!

More then often the two would go out to a movie or even just sit in a Juice Bar that was popular for kids their age and loaded with them. They just didn't have to be doing anything to see each other and they liked not doing whatever they were going to. It made excuses to not go places with there fathers and that was what both liked to do. Make excuses. But then again that was how there fathers met because they had both found out that their kid's were not at central park like they were told, no they were at a little coffee shop called Just For Sturr's.

But the two fathers met and sat at a table talking about some business crap and soon enough the fathers themselves where great friends. Percy and Thalia still got into some small argument over the next of the summer ,but made up even quicker then they hard started. There friends said that they were everywhere with each other ,but they just shrugged and laughed and said that they were having a good time.

But meanwhile it wasn't as if they were the only one's Grover and Juniper were also doing very very good with each other ,but taking it very slow as if they aged slower then the rest of us. They seemed so much more mature thought and in there 5 week of their relationship they were holding hands when Percy and Thalia were already sneak off somewhere to make out away from prying eye's like the Stoll brothers.

When school started they had almost every class together and where partnered for almost everything that they could. And half of the freshman class was already telling them to invite them to the fathers businesses were doing well in fact they were doing better then ever because the two had met and joined forces. Who knew that the signing of a few contracts would get you so far?

But then again not everything that's good in 9th grade can last, because that just doesn't happen with the crowd that they were said to be a part of. Some people say they were shocked when they broke up ,but others claim it was bound to happen. Everything for them was just to fast, to there or too obvious. But to say those two were expecting to go to central park one day the same place that famous argument that in the end brought them together would be like saying they expected to see a flying pig.

It wasn't meant to happen this huge argument that even had people in school choosing sides because it started with one simple comment in early spring after a nice rain shower. Quietly a joke was made about how Percy's hand writing is so hard to understand it was a joke ,but then he 'joked' about how short Thalia's hair cut was and it just went down hill quickly from there,

"I DIDN'T WANT IT TO BE THIS SHORT!" Thalia screamed obviously sensitive about the whole hairdresser-messing-up thing. But Percy who regretted making the joke put up his defenses faster then his head could reason not to.

"Whoa calm down no need to go all haywire because of one simple joke!" He said looking around to see if there was anyone ,but there wasn't. The whole place was quiet and peaceful except for them. When Thalia heard the comment she got up quickly and spoke quietly and deliberately to Percy who just stared in her eye's like the confident boy he somehow always was.

"Never tell me to calm down Jackson! You just had to comment on my hair and you knew for a fact I hated it!"

"Well I said I loved it when I first saw it so obviously it was a damn joke Thalia and quite honestly if I can't tell you to calm down then you can't tell me what to not comment on!" He said normally which just seemed to make Thalia angrier. Why wasn't HE getting mad! Thalia thought bitterly, HE is always so damn calm like there is nothing ever wrong with the world!

"You know what screw you Percy! Why the hell am I even here if you're going to insult me and tell ME to calm down!" Thalia yelled as a memory of the fight they had before in this same place flowed into her head, :You obviously needed to calm down when I made that comment about your stupid mother!"

Percy snapped, he had always stayed straight before giving into Thalia without that much of a fight. He didn't know if it was because this was the day that 'incident' with his mother happened or maybe just this place ,but he couldn't take it. Every fight came into his mind at the same second and whatever that was holding logical thinking just snapped.

"Funny Grace how you would bring that fight up! The only one you ever lost or where someone didn't give into you! You always cross a line somewhere Thalia! But this time it's a damn bridge and I'm pretty sure it burnt!" He snarled remembering what happened that day wishing it never happened and they were still 'just friends'.

"Screw you Percy it's over!" She shouted stumbling away crying wondering why she destroyed that relationship so quickly. It was her first and her best one she's had yet! He knew everything about her and she knew everything about him in return. There bad pasts there present thoughts and what they hoped the future would be like. And yet now when Thalia thought about it this ending would defiantly go in the 'bad memories' section of her mind that she never thought of. And she never thought of it for a reason because Thalia Grace doesn't dry ,but if she just looked at one of those memories she would burst into tears in a heartbeat.

"For once we agree on something!" Percy shouted after her and then walked a separate way hating himself for even making that damn joke ,but it was her fault she was the once that went crazy and started screaming. Another day ruined ,but when school came around it would be the worse thing ever.

But they managed to avoid each other for the simple fact that Percy switched out of all of her classes and he even took pottery instead of Civics so he wouldn't have to be in the same room. Being in the same school was bad enough. But there friends did get a little divided on the whole thing ,but they just didn't care and they let the two sit as far away from each other as they liked. But they there was that awkward time when they where just walking down the halls and locked eye's for a second. But then sometime in the spring Percy's father and Thalia's father's company had their first company party. It was formal and apparently it was absolutely horrible for anyone that is under the age of 20 which a fare few people were.

Thalia looked around for something anything to do other then just hold punch in a corner of the room. On the opposite side holding punch in a corner was Percy looking around for anyone to talk to ,but he didn't even know half these people that suddenly worked for his dad as if he payed attention to them before. Then he saw Thalia and froze he thought she looked beautiful yet in a more friendly way. He walked over slowly making sure that she didn't see him because even if they were still mad at each other instead of awkwardly standing in a corner of a giant ball room alone he guessed they could just stand together.

"Hey.." Percy said slowly as if something was going to happen if he spoke to quickly. Thalia whipped around looking for the source of the voice as if proof that it was who she thought it was. For a quick second she had the urge to yell at him ,but she didn't and just merely replied, "Hey Percy," quietly before turning back around and taking another sip of punch.

"Look Thalia I know what happened was stupid and it can't be fixed ,but this freaking party is draining the life out of me and if I'm going to silently stand in a corner I would rather do it with someone rather then alone." He stopped looking at the back of her head hoping she would turn around so he could catch her eye's and force her to talk to him. Eventually she did and she understood that this was just a mutual truce between them to get though this damn evening.

"Fine by the way how's pottery?" Thalia said quietly as her and Percy face the room standing next to each other. Percy who was drinking his watery 'kids' punch again choked quickly and let a weak smile find it's way to his face.

"Well it's not as bad as it sounds actually," He said smoothly as if he didn't just start coughing and coke for a couple seconds , "Mrs. Jinkins his nicer then you would expect.." Thalia started laughing at that one because it was a running joke in there school. was the most hated teacher in the school ever since she got her 4th divorce and her 7th dog ran away and her life was a constant sob story so she took out her anger on her students.

For the rest of the night they were getting better friend to almost like they were before as they shared what they've been doing and who they've been annoyed at recently yah know 'bonding' thing's like that. But then came the speech made by Poseidon and Zeus. They didn't pay attention to most of it because they were having fits of laughter. Then one thing they heard stopped them immediately.

"And next week my son and I will be moving to the Hamptons in hope's to expand the business!" Poseidon said proudly. Percy didn't know he was moving ,but Thalia didn't know that he didn't know. They screwed everything up. They were just becoming friends again! She thought bitterly, they damn kid probably knew he was moving to and he just wanted to do whatever before he left. And suddenly she felt disgusted ,but she hid it and hid it well because when she looked at Percy he looked surprised and turned to her slowly. Damn kid it's all an act and now he wants me to feel bad for him and like crap am I gonna.

He was surprised thought because his father never told him anything of this. He saw Thalia's face in a mix of horror and anger just for a second and he knew what she was thinking ,but that only got him mad. Was she really that thick to not realize that he had no control of either his father telling he was moving or not? Didn't she understand what it was like to maybe see his father once a week as he was walking to his bedroom? Why didn't she get it! But he also she her face clear and turn into an expression that could only be described as sad. He hoped scratch that he prayed it wasn't an act.

"I had no-" Percy was about to say ,but Thalia cut him off at the first chance she got. "I have to go!" She said suddenly giving him a hug quickly before running outside and calling her fathers driver to take her home. She was crying for some reason yet again. This is all Percy's fault she thought she hadn't cried in the last two months let alone feel anything. By the time she got home she had already stopped crying and she just went inside slammed the door and called the one person she could always count on. Annabeth.
