Percy POV

Yeah, I like her, but, I'm kind a wishing that she was tied up, gagged, then preferably, thrown into a burlap sack. Not creeping or anything, something else I noticed, was that she and Nico kept staring at each other. Aww, my cousin has a crush! Ok, Ew. I sound like the Aphrodite cabin. On a good day. With free carb free candy. That must be who her godly parent is.

I come back to reality. Right now, she and Annabeth are arguing on who's the hottest in One Direction. I tried to look for anything that could mistakenly gag/choke me.

"Harry? EWW! Give me Zayne any day!"

"NO! Harry's my one and only soul mate!"

"I think Niall's cool…HMM, but Zayne's cooler."

Now Thalia's joining in? Who would a thought a punk girl would listen to that?

"That's it… I'm ditching." I said, I really couldn't stand one more minute, and being the good Samaritan that I am, I asked Nico if he wanted to come to.

Ashlee stopped her debate, *thankfully*, for a minute, to look at me like I'm crazy.

"How do you get out of a car that's going about 100 miles an hour on the highway? Really, I know you're like kidnapping me or something, but, that's just not right!"

Then Nico starts complaining, "Dude, you know horses don't like me! Kill me now! Wait."

I looked at Ashlee "Like this." And with that I opened the door, and jumped out, and with Nico following, though still protesting.

When we run out of the highway line I start drilling him.

"Dude I know you have a crush on her!" He blushed furiously before going back into goth mode and saying, "No I don't, she's 11!

"And your 12. Deal with it." HE desperately tries to change the subject, "Um, whatever dude! Aren't we supposed to be getting back to camp?"

I bet you're wondering how we're going to get back, you guessed it, Blackjack.

I whistled my best New York taxi cab whistle, immediately Black Jack came into view. And Nico did this weird creepy son of Hades thing and Mrs.O'Leary was there, because, "When you're not there the horses are plotting to kill me!"

Today cannot get any better, the awesomest day ever, right? (*sarcasm*)
