TPOV:

We were cramped into Percy and Annabeth's room. Apparently when they say only two adults can fit comfortably; they mean it. It was Percy, Annabeth and I so it wasn't that bad. The beds had been turned back into two chairs so I was sitting across from the two lovebirds.

Percy had come up with a plan and he needed me to help, so I was. We were leaving Nico and Clarisse here so the younger kids wouldn't get suspicious.

"One more stop. Thalia, your turn." Annabeth said as we pulled into a station.

"Well boys and girls, let's go play with electricity." I mumbled as I walked out of the cabin.

I had figured out over the past month that not only could if manipulate lightning, but I could also manipulate electricity. So I walked down the hallway, which was empty. I stopped at the air-conditioner panel. A few electrical zaps in the right places and it crashed. The cool air stopped coming. Step one complete.

I walked back to the cabin. Percy did a bit of work with the water molecules in the room so that they would keep the room cool no matter how hot the rest of the car got.

The train pulled out of the station. "Annabeth. Your turn." Annabeth stood. She walked out of the cool room and into the already hot hallway.

"Do you think it'll work?" I asked.

"Probably. She's Annabeth. When she says she has an idea how to do something. It means it is practically perfected." He sighed. He was right too.

She came back five minutes later, "We will be making a three hour minimum stop at Baltimore. That's the next stop. So step two is complete." She slid back down beside Percy.

"I'll go tell Nico and Clarisse." I got up and walked to Clarisse's cabin. I laughed at the sight that greeted me.

Clarisse and Nico were glaring daggers at each other. I was trying to figure out who looked scarier. Usually Nico would've won with the whole Prince of the Dead thing, but Clarisse was the God of Wars daughter... I have to say it was a draw. They were sitting across from each other. Little Katie was standing in the space between the two, her head going back and forth as if watching a tennis match.

When they heard my laugh they both turned to glare at me. But since I'm the daughter of Zeus and all, I sent on right back, adding a bit of electricity in my eyes so they could see lightning in them. They both snapped out of it.

"We are making a long stop. Annabeth, Percy and I are going to go shopping at the stores nearby so we can get some cloths for Katie. Can you two stay with the kids, without killing each other?" I asked them. They glared at each other before they turned to me and nodded. They knew the real plan, so they knew what they were agreeing to. "Katie what sizes are you?" She gave me her sizes and I walked back to our head quarters.

"Step three. All set." Now all we had to do was wait until we got to the next stop.

We arrived soon enough and the steward guy came around to say we would be here for at least three hours, so we could go roam around a bit. Annabeth, Percy and I were the first ones off the train. We ran into the station and out the door. We had no idea how long this would take, but as long as we were at the water, Percy could just zap us to the next stop. We got lucky; the bay was pretty much a hop, skip and a jump away, so we got there really quickly. We ran down the dock. Annabeth and I stood watch as Percy dove into the water. We couldn't let people see him dive in and not come up for a while. He did have to get to New York's area of the Ocean and back...

PPOV:

We ran down the dock and I dove into the water with Annabeth and Thalia covering me. While I was gone, they were supposed to go shopping to get Katie some cloths since that was our cover. I started swimming, faster than any other animal could. That was on of the upsides of being a son of Poseidon. I arrived at Poseidon's castle in a matter of minutes.

I ran around the Palace looking for my father until I saw him talking to Zeus. Great. They're both here. I thought sarcastically.

"Father. I need to talk to you." I said.

"I already know what you have to say. I have to say, I was amazed at how well you handled that." Poseidon said and Zeus nodded in agreement.

"Why did you object to them being together?"

"A child of the big three is dangerous. Imagine one with two of the big three as grandparents." Zeus answered.

"What about Thalia and Nico?" I asked.

"That won't last. They are as different as light and day." Zeus responded.

"With all due respect, Zeus. Have you even met your daughter?" I asked incredulous. "She's like goth. And in case you didn't know, she gave up immortality to be with Nico. I don't think they are going to separate too soon."

"I'll have a word with Aphrodite..."

"No you won't." A voice came. It was Aphrodite with Hades was walking beside her.

"Aphrodite, you surely must see the danger..." Zeus started.

"Actually I do not. The two of them love each other. All of your children have found love amongst each other. You cannot interfere with one relationship and not the other. Both of the couple in question will remain together and that is my final say." Aphrodite said.

"Hades what do you say to that?" Zeus asked. I noticed Poseidon was completely quiet.

"I agree with Aphrodite." He responded, "And you Poseidon?"

"I have forgotten against my feud with Athena for the happiness of a son, but I'm not sure if I can over look this as easily..." He looked my in the eye, "But I will try." I smiled, "And you Zeus?"

"I don't like it, but it looks like I am over-ruled with both of my children's relationships." He said back, grumpy.

"Percy, tell your sister. 'I approve, but if I get any grandchildren from her before she is in her twenties at least, she will be in so much trouble, I'll make Kronos look like a ice cream truck driver.' But only tell her if you think that is a possibility."

"Honestly I don't think it is." I told him what I had heard Katerina say to Annabeth.

"That does sound like her." Poseidon laughed, and the other gods/goddess nodded in agreement.

"What about Thalia?"

"Trust me you don't have to worry about that." I laughed. I knew Thalia well enough, that I was positive that if Nico tried anything, worse things would happen to him than losing his baby maker. I told Zeus this and he made a face that told me he completely agreed.

"Now what about you and Annabeth, Percy?" Poseidon asked with a glint in his eyes.

"First off, I wouldn't try anything like that, unless she really wanted to, and she would have to really want it. Meaning it isn't just driven by lust and teenaged hormones and stuff. And second, I don't plan on having kids just yet. And I don't think we are even going to try anything before marriage... I'm pretty sure she has condoms just in case..." I trailed of, speaking only the truth.

"I'm glad to hear my daughter thought ahead." Athena appeared beside my father. She sent me a cool glare, "I'm also glad she found a boy who isn't obsessed with sex. And actually wants to wait." He glare turned into a playful look I had seen on Annabeth many times.

I smiled at her. "Percy, your friends are waiting for you, with little girl cloths." Poseidon cocked an eyebrow.

"We had a bit of a stowaway. So we worked getting her cloths into this..."

"You did come up with a very good plan. Worthy of a child of Athena..." Was that approval of some sort?

Why yes it is Percy. When you feel the time is right, you can...you know with Annabeth. I approve of your relationship with her. But don't make her do anything she doesn't want to. The goddess broadcasted into my head.

I smiled. You don't have to worry about that. "I better head out." I said out loud. As I left I thought, Thank you for approving of our relationship Lady Athena.

Not a problem Percy. You have proved yourself worthy. And once again, drop the Lady part.

I was at the dock soon. The girls gave me the all clear and I climbed out of the water completely dry. I took the bags Annabeth was carrying. Thalia pouted at me, so I took her's as well. We walked back to the train. We still had an hour before the train would leave if it only took the three hours. We dropped the cloths off in Katie's room. The girls walked back to their rooms. I walked into Katerina's room. She was sitting on her bed ready some magazine.

"Hey."

"Hey." She responded, closing her magazine and placing it beside her.

"Where's Romeo?" I joked.

"He went with Nico to the dining car. Apparently there is some all you can eat thing..." She rolled her eyes. I laughed, "Did you get Kate her cloths?"

"Yeah, but that wasn't the real reason we left." I said. I told her about the plan. She stood up on her knees and grabbed a pillow and started hitting me.

"First you went shopping without me! Then you went to dad's palace without me! And then you told him about Nick and me!" She accented every sentence with a blow at the end.

"Calm down!" I shielded myself, "Stop! He approves! He approves!"

"What!" She yelled. Stopping the pillow.

I told her about my conversation with the gods. She laughed when I told her what Athena said.

"Now I came in here to make it up to you. If you want, the AC is still messed up, we can go to the bay and mess around with the water."

"Can we go shopping too?"

"We may only be able to do one or the other..." I said.

"Fine. Water it is."

We went back to the pier and took turns jumping in. I tried to coach her on breathing underwater. She could do it, but it wasn't second nature like it was for me. So we worked on it. She taught me some cool ways on how to manipulate the water. We went back after a while and got on the train, just in time for it to leave the station. I know I should feel bad for delaying our quest, but I didn't.

I am now friends with my sister and Athena approves of me. Plus, I had a feeling that Luke wasn't bad anymore. He had risked killing himself to kill the Titan Lord, and he had died a hero. Sure he hadn't died, but he thought he would. I'm almost positive; Luke was on our side now. Then again, I have been wrong before.
