Hey! I forgot I had an account here but NEW CHAPTER TIME! I hope you all like the story so far. This one will be mostly Nico's POV. In reviews for this chappie I need suggestions on monsters to fight, and people to encounter. Thx, Thalia, Daughter of Zeus. Just saying that I don't own pop tarts, the PJO characters or Ageis (wish I owned the last one though).

Thalia's POV

As my friend Percy says: Demigod dreams suck! And they do!

I was chained to a cliff. Fun right? No. Not when Nico is holding a sword to your throat. "Sorry Thals, but the king needs you to DIE." He raised the sword and just as I was about to die, I woke up crying, which I don't do that often. Just the right way to start a quest. I took a shower and put on a Green Day T-shirt, black jeans, Aegis (charm bracelet form), eyeliner and black tennis shoes. I grabbed a cold pop tart and started packing my bag. In it I had a few changes of clothes a hairbrush and a picture of Nico out of the Camp Half-Blood yearbook. I was done eating so like the average 15-year-old I licked my fingers - no-16 I had joined the hunters the day before my birthday so today I was 16! WOOOOOO! Driver's license! I ran out the door screaming,

"BLACK CORVETTE! BLACK CORVETTE!"

Nico's POV

I had the creepiest dream EVER. And that's saying a lot for a son of Hades! I had Thalia chained to a rock and I was about to kill her. Thalia was definitely involved, I should talk to her. Maybe she had the same dream… I started packing my bag. I put in four changes of clothes, some toiletries (probably won't use 'em), and a picture of me, Percy, Annabeth and Thalia on Camp Half-Blood beach. I started making myself toast and I got out the jelly from my fridge. I went into my living room and turned on some show that I wasn't even half listening to. After a minute or so the pop of the toaster jarred me back to reality. I shut off the TV, and put some jelly on my toast. I made sure I had all my lights off and my alarm clock wasn't set to go off tomorrow. I grabbed my backpack and toast and headed out. I saw Thalia running towards the Athena cabin screaming something. It sounded like 'black Ferrari'… then it hit me! Today was her birthday and she was 16. Of course she wanted a driver's license. I ignored her and headed to Thalia's tree where we were to leave in the strawberry van.

-Later-

"Well everybody," Chiron said to me Annabeth, Thalia and Percy. "Good luck!"

"Yes, yes, good luck, have fun and don't die," Mr. D said. How Kind. We all started putting out bags in to the strawberry van.

"Oh, shoot," Thalia said "I forgot my bag." She looked at Percy, who was struggling to lift a bag and Annabeth, who was studying a map. "Nico, would you help me carry a few things?"

"Sure Thals," I said and we headed off to her cabin. When we got there she led me through the living room around the corner down a short hall and into the bedroom. She pointed to two backpacks. I picked up mine.

"You forgot it when we, Percy, Annabeth and the Stoll brothers had movie night. It had most of your stuff in it, I was gonna tell you yesterday," she said as she unplugged her clock, "but I forgot and was too lazy to this morning" she said as she picked up the last thing, her backpack. "Let's go," she said. "

"Wait Thalia," I said.

"Yeah," she stopped.

"The kiss," I paused. This was awkward, "does that make us, boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Is that what you want?" she asked, I was pretty sure I was bright red.

"If that's what you want…" I trailed off. Out of instinct we both leaned in and kissed for about 15 seconds. Thalia's lips tasted like peppermint and both of us felt electricity. When we came apart I had made my decision.

"Yes," we said at the same time.

AND NOW THE QUEST SHALL START!
