"Who's there?" Thalia asked, looking out of the peephole. She turned to her two cousins, eyes wide. "It's Aphrodite."
"No. No no no. This isn't possible. This can't be happening! No!" Nico backed away from the door.
Percy looked through the peephole too. "She's holding boxes of clothes. Thalia, talk to her. Nico and I'll escape through the window. We'll pay you back."
"Yeah, no." Thalia said with a 'duh' voice.
"Come on, Thals! Please?" Nico asked.
"Sure..." Thalia said. The three boys smiled grew. "When Hades freezes over."
"Dont talk about my dad like that!"
"I think that I can actually make that happen."
"Boys." Thalia shook her head. Then she unlocked the door and threw it opened. Aphrodite stumbled in, holding three boxes, each one with a name on it. There were clothes in the boxes, no doubt.
"Hi, guys! It's been forever!" She squealed.
So here's a little background information on Aphrodite:
She's Thalia's half sister. They have the same dad, but not the same mom.
Aphrodite is beautiful, nobody will deny it. She had long dark brown hair and color changing eyes. She is a grown woman and pretty tall for her age. She's really nice if you like fashion and shopping and gossip, otherwise she's just plain annoying. She's TB3's clothes designer person since she loves all of that stuff.
So Aphrodite stumbled into the room holding the clothes while TB3 backed up. But there was another person with her.
It was a girl that looked to be around sixteen or seventeen. She had color changing eyes and choppy brown hair that went a little past her shoulders. Wait! That was...
"Piper!" Thalia exclaimed.
Piper grinned. "Why didn't you tell us who you were in the elevator?" She laughed.
"Oh! I see you already know each other! Surprise surprise!" Aphrodite smiled.
"Yeah. We met Piper on our way to the plane." Nico said.
"Where's your friend?" Percy asked her.
Piper raised her eyebrows. "Annabeth? She's at her place. Why?"
"You two were talking and heading to the same place. So if you're here, shouldn't she be here too?" He asked.
Piper nodded. "Yeah. She's here too. Only she's not here with me."
Thalia nodded. "Okay!"
"Can we show her the sound booth?" Nico asked. Aphrodite nodded.
"Sure! I'll give you an hour and a half before we start, okay?"
The four teenagers nodded. "Thanks, Aphrodite!" They chorused.
"You're welcome! Now shoo! I need to get these outfits ready." Aphrodite basically pushed them out of the door.
"And this is the sound booth. We can make music and not have to worry about other people hearing us." Nico said happily.
"That's so cool. Can you play a song?" Piper asked.
"Sure! Give us a few minutes to pick out a song and-" Thalia started.
Piper interrupted her. "Can you sing Can't Feel My Face?"
"Uh... Yeah! Sure." Percy answered.
"Okay. I'll stand out here with Piper. Nico, you're doing backup."
Nico nodded. "Okay."
"Just let us set up."
"Okay!"
"It'll take around five minutes. Let's set up."
"Come on!"
(Bold is Percy, bold italics are Percy and Nico)
"And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb
And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come
But at least we'll both be beautiful and stay forever young
This I know, (yeah) this I know
She told me, "Don't worry about it."
She told me, "Don't worry no more."
We both knew we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be alone-oh-oh, whoa
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb
And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come
All the misery was necessary when we're deep in love
Yes I know (yes I know), yeah, I know
She told me, "Don't worry about it."
She told me, "Don't worry no more."
We both knew we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be alone-oh-oh, whoa
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
She told me, "Don't worry about it."
She told me, "Don't worry no more."
We both know we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be alone-oh-oh
Whoa
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh"
"That was awesome, guys! I love that song!" Piper congratulated when the song had ended.
"Thanks." Percy grinned.
"Hey, I think that Aphrodite's calling us. Do you hear that?" Thalia said, shaking her head.
"Yeah. Aw man, I'm gonna hate this." Nico agreed.
"Most likely." Piper laughed. "We all know how crazy about clothes Mom is."
Percy nodded. "Come on. Let's just get this over with."
"Agreed."
