A/N: Hey-0! Today's your lucky day! DOUBLE UPDATE!
Percy's POV
Annabeth and I watched in horror as Max fell off the ledge, but a minute later, She comes shooting back up, wings outstretched. "Wow." I mumble under my breath.
"Ditto." Annabeth says.
Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel (with Total in her arms) jump off the ledge, and take to the sky, circling around. Their definitely more graceful then us.
You bet we are!says a little girl's voice. I jerk back slightly. "Ready?" Annabeth asks.
"Yep." I say. I take her hand in mine, and run out into the air. "Follow us!" I shout into the wind, Max nods at the others, and they get in a formation that would make a roman proud. We fly back over the water, Max dips down to skim her fingers along the water as we fly, then Angel dives under, dragging Max with her. The rest of us land on the beach just outside of Camp's boundaries and wait for Max and Angel. After a minute, when the don't come up, I look over at Max's Gang. Fang's smirking and rolling his eyes, Nudge is checking out her nails, and Gazzy and Iggy are hunched together, discussing something.
"Shouldn't they be up by now?" I ask Fang. He shrugs a shoulder. Just then, Max and Angel shoot out of the water and land next to us.
"What'd we miss?" Max asks.
"Pen-boy over here was getting his boxers in a knot." Fang says, jerking his head at me. (forgot to mention: Fang and Max aren't Dating, and there was never Sam or lissa!)
I shake off the comment. "We're almost there." We start walking down the beach. Five more steps. Are they really the ones? One more step. Here goes. We're in the camp boundaries now. I turn around, there they are. Then in front of our own eyes, Nudge starts to glow.
Max's POV
That was strange, one second there's nothing, then the next, there's this camp with hundreds of kids walking around, most have some sort of weapon. "Uh? Max?" Nudge whimpers. I turn and see her, glowing... Pink?
"OH MY-" I start but Percy stops me.
"That's normal here. Wait." He orders. I do.
Then, the glow goes to blinding, and Nudge isn't Nudge. I mean, she is Nudge... Just not wearing what a bird-kid wears when she's running for her life. Instead of her usual blood-splattered clothes, she's wearing skinny jeans, a flowery v-neck tank-top, and greek inspired sandals. Her hair was striaghtened, and fell around her shoulders. Above her head is a heart. The whole Camp is staring.
"Aphrodite." Percy and Annabeth say at the same time.
A/N: Nudge is an Aphrodite girl? NEVER saw that coming. (Sarcasm!)
