stormyseas  Chapter 2 Annabeth Percy’s head was in her lap, and he was snoring quietly. Amazingly, the bubble held firm, though seawater continued to form at its bottom through some invisible fault line. The water had had a calming effect; its gentle tug on the bubble swayed it slightly, like a baby’s cradle. Annabeth wondered what else Percy had mastered in terms of controlling bodies of water in the past eight months. Eight months…the shock of his disappearance was still fresh, but it was more like remembering a nightmare than living it, now. Lost in such thoughts, she almost didn’t notice the dark shape, rising from the bottom of the sea. It was shaped like a whale, with a large, intimidating body. Annabeth shook Percy’s shoulder, and he groaned. The whale’s head instantly jerked in the direction of their bubble. “Percy, there’s a whale! A whale!” Percy rubbed his face and shook off her calls. “Negotiate with the damn whale, Percy!” Percy began to get up, but the whale slammed into the bubble, with so much force that it dissipated in a shower of smaller bubbles. Annabeth fought the urge to close her eyes and looked around her. Percy was floating in the waters beside her; hands cradling his face, brows furrowed in pain. Everything was going wrong, fast. They were just supposed to have a few minutes alone time before they resurfaced. Being attacked by a whale was not part of that plan! Annabeth almost yelled his name, but stopped herself just in time, losing only a bit of air. As she tried to swim toward the water’s surface, four meters above her, her foot caught on something. She looked down, panic building in her, and saw her foot was caught in a thick mesh of seaweed. Percy regained his bearings and tried to work at the knots in the weeds, his eyes darting between Annabeth’s foot and the whale, as if waiting for a bomb to explode. Annabeth, though numbed by the burning in her lungs, began to see the whale in better focus as it approached. In fact it wasn’t a whale; it had front legs in the place of fins and blue-green scales like a reptile… a cetus! Her heart began to pound, only making her lungs burn hotter, and hotter, and finally she blacked out, seeing, in tunnel vision, the creatures massive ruby eyes scan Percy hungrily before slamming into him before unconsciousness took over.

stormyseas Chapter 3 Piper Reyna was mad. Really. Hey eyes looked slightly red and Piper felt sorry for her. Jason seemed quite oblivious to it all, but being a child of Aphrodite, she knew these things. Obviously, she had something for Jason, but how serious it was a guessing matter for Piper. Then Percy had unprofessionally made a scene and jumped off the side of the ship with Annabeth, and had been there now for seven minutes, and not once had he been spotted surfacing. That had sent the whole crowd into arguments, discussing everything from how cute the couple were – that was led by a few children of Venus-, to Jackson’s immaturity, how he didn’t deserve the title of Praetor. The Ares cabin was helping though, distracting Romans with by sharing fighting techniques and creative swears. Despite it, Reyna was disappointed, especially at Percy, waving off Annabeth as if she expected it from a Greek girl. Piper was a little intimidated by her, a little annoyed at her and a little jealous, but she promised herself that she would be as love-crazed as her siblings. Her thoughts were interrupted by a scream, and Piper’s blood seemed to curdle, boil, and freeze, all at the same time. Her feet flew toward the sound, moving with the crowd of Romans who had also gathered. At the water’s edge they stopped, and took in the frightening sight: Annabeth half-floating in the waves, one arm wheeling into the water, propelling her in the direction of shore, the other curved around the chest of a bleeding Percy. Jason immediately dived into the water, which must have required a lot of courage, being Zeus’s son. Hazel Levesque jumped in after him. Piper began to order the Romans around, doing a much better job than Reyna who seemed to have lost all her powerful anger. Her charmspeak sent them flying, collecting blankets and towels, starting a campfire, throwing out floats for assistance, all the while looking at their comrades with the same confused expression, like: Why are we listening to a graceus? In a matter of minutes, Jason and Hazel were back. Hazel was carrying Percy, using her shoulder to keep his head above the water line. Jason was helping Annabeth who was half-screaming at him to help Percy, half choking. At Piper’s command, the Romans moved together like well-oiled gears, getting Annabeth to spit back water, helping Hazel lay Percy down without moving him, covering them in blankets and towels and heating them with campfire. After the commotion had died down, Reyna, who had been busy calming Annabeth walked over to Percy. He was starting to blink and rise. He sat up on his elbows. “Percy, before I take away your position as praetor, I’m going to give you a chance to explain.” Reyna told him through gritted teeth. Percy moved his palm back and forth over the back of his neck, wincing. “You know what a cetus is? A sea monster? Half whale, half land animal, half serpent? Me and Annabeth were underwater and it started circling us. Then Annabeth got trapped in a bunch of seaweed, and I was trying to untie her, and it charged into her, but I blocked its path.” He said all this incredibly slowly, either to keep Reyna calm or to calm himself. Reyna was quiet for a long time. When she did speak, her tone was neutral: “You went unconscious?” “No, Annabeth did. When I got head-butted by the mutant thing, it made my pen- Riptide- fall out of my pocket. I turned it to a sword and cut Annabeth free, got her some air. Then I slayed the thing, but only after I got this cut. I passed out from the pain when we were coming back shore.” Piper noticed a long gash on his thigh, which was being bandaged up by a daughter of Apollo. “Who sent it?” she asked. Percy looked to the girl in the white healer uniform and said with a half-smile, “Could be anyone. A lot of people are out to get me.”

stormyseas thank you!

stormyseas Chapter 4 Percy Percy was amazed at all the people the ship had brought to Camp Jupiter. He had assumed only Annabeth, and the bunch from the parchment: Jason, Leo, and Piper, would be coming. He laughed silently at his stupidity: they were going to fight an army of giants in Rome and Athens, and he planned on bringing only seven people. Around Annabeth and him, a group had formed. Clarisse and her cabin mates were there, commenting on Percy’s stupidity. Thalia was there, along with one of her hunters. The Stoll brothers and the more courageous of the Aphrodite cabin were talking to each other; Connor was talking up the two cabin mates while Travis was trying to get their wallets. The Hephaestus kids were toasting to their awesome ship with some of Athena’s kids, who had probably helped in its making. Annabeth and Percy had gotten over the sea monster incident and were walking around, talking to the rare kind Roman and touring the camp. Reyna came up to them. “Percy, you have made a big scene, put yourself in danger, and neglected your responsibility as praetor. I’m beginning to doubt your worthiness of the title of praetor. Cetus or not, you must not-” Annabeth interjected, “I doubt half the Romans were there to see the landing, Reyna. I’ve heard that formal introductions will be made at nightfall. Let’s assess the damage done then?” Reyna seemed surprised at her interruption, but regained her composure in a split second. “Agreed. Who do you belong to? Aphrodite?” Percy suppressed a smile, and told her, “Daughter of Goddess of Battle Strategy. In charge of reconstruction of Mt. Olympus in the east.” Reyna raised an eyebrow, turned up the side of her lip in a smile, like: Oh, you might not be that bad after all… The evening darkened quickly and the Romans began to gather in the Field of Mars, where the war games were usually held. The nymphs that served food in the dining hall had set up chairs in front of a sloping section of land, like a stage. It was the only place Terminus trusted the Greeks to be together beside the Romans. Apparently, Greeks inside the Pomerian Line was not an option. The Romans rested on chairs, beside some other demigods from Camp Half-Blood. The “stage” held most of the Greeks, as well as Reyna, and unfortunately Octavian. As the crowd quieted, Reyna stepped forward and announced: “As the oldest praetor of this camp, I ask you to welcome the Greeks. They will introduce themselves, share the current condition of their camp, then we shall continue to discuss our plan against Gaea with some select Greeks and the centurions of each cohort.” The crowd was silent as Percy and Jason stepped forward. Behind Percy were Hazel and Frank who had slipped onto the “stage” at the last minute. Behind Jason were the guests from Camp Jupiter, including Annabeth. “I am Jason Grace, son of Zeus, former praetor of camp Jupiter.” Jason said, throwing a wink at Percy when he said former. “I am Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus/Vulcan, commander of Argo II.” Percy heard a squeak from behind him, but decided that bringing attention on Hazel right now would not be good, so didn’t turn to look. “I am Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite, Venus, master of charmspeak.” Piper muttered with an evil smile. “I am Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, Minerva in Roman terms.” Reyna was watching him closely, so Percy resisted the urge to add “architect of the century”. “I am Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus, sister of Jason.” “What!?” Percy and Reyna squeaked. Thalia smiled and said in a superior voice, “While you, Reyna, were off performing the duties of a praetor, and when you, Percy, were off having smoochy time, I was meeting my long lost brother.” Jason grinned at the shocked Roman faces, but waved them off. “Neither of us knew the other was alive. Please, continue.” The remaining Greeks continued, and Clarisse, the Stolls, Athena’s and Hephaestus’s kids introduced themselves. Jason offered a quick explanation of how they saved Hera and stopped Porphyrion from rising followed by Percy’s side of the story, freeing Thanatos and crushing Polybotes’s army. The crowd began to go back to the barracks, leaving only the centurions, two children of each Greek god, and two children from each Roman god. “How do we plan on beating Gaea and her giants?” Leo asked simply. The boy, who in the parchment had seemed happy-go-lucky, looked very disturbed and quiet. All eyes turned to the children of Athena and Minerva, Roman and Greek. “We need to find a way to divide our forces, both godly and mortal, so all the giants have a pair of fighters that can bring them down together.” Annabeth said. “I doubt the gods will feel okay with demigods telling them what to do.” “Hera seems to think the other gods know what they have to do. Only my father is a problem, but I think I can convince him.” At that moment, a bolt of electricity shot from a cloudless sky and struck Jason. In contrast with the screams and gasps, he just laughed. Looking up at the sky he said, “Like I said, I think.” Percy smiled. “So what’s to decide?” Leo asked. “Percy with Poseidon, Jason, and Thalia with Zeus, and you, Annabeth with Athena, and so on.” The ground rumbled with a sound almost like a purr. “That’s too simple. I think Gaea will expect that. But I don’t think we can discuss this here. We’re on land. She’ll hear won’t she?” Annabeth’s question received uncertain nods. “Jason, can you get us into the sky?” Thalia asked. Jason let out a nervous chuckle, “Yeah.. that’s a lot of people, sis.” “That’s fine Jason, and plus, I don’t think making our plans on controlling the gods in Zeus’s territory will help us either.” Annabeth told him, pointing at the sky, which was beginning to churn with clouds like a washing machine. All eyes turned on Percy. “I can manage a bubble of air…probably just barely…but I won’t be able to add any thoughts, keep anyone afloat in an emergency, and you’ll have to find a way to get both yourselves as well as me back to shore, because I’ll be exhausted.” “How is it that a son of Neptune is stronger than a son of Zeus?” One of the centurions in the crowd asked. “I imagine creating a bubble is much less energy-demanding than suspending objects in air. Same as how creating powerful waves is harder than breathing underwater for Percy.” Annabeth explained. Still, whether it was because they didn’t trust the Greeks or because they would be in the feared Neptune’s territory, the Romans were uneasy. Reyna’s word settled it all. “I see no better solution, so I say we go.” “I’ll unload some of Argo II’s dinghies.” Leo offered. “When we get to a good location, we can jump off, anchor them down.” “Good, that’ll get you a way to get us back to shore.” Piper raised her hand as if she was in school. Reyna nodded and she spoke: “Don’t think I’m asking this because I’m a stupid daughter of Aphrodite. But why exactly do we need to be underwater? Isn’t it good enough for us to be in it?” “I just don’t want us to take any chances.” Reyna said. “Even if it means Percy going unconscious for more than last time? I mean, he did a lot today, seems like. Fought dead Roman army, fought a live one made of giants. Got attacked by a sea monster…is this really a good idea?” There was a short silence before Percy said, “This will be a chance for me to learn my limits. Better to zone out among friends than among enemies. Plus, this is more than just about me, or Jason, or Annabeth, whoever. It’s about the future of everything. Like Reyna said, we can’t put that to chance.” “Then what are we waiting for?” Leo wondered, breaking the tension with a smile.

stormyseas Enjoy the long chapters while you can! Facing a bit of writer's block! :( Also, don't italics work in comment/posts? Chapter 5 Annabeth The boats were lowered from the side of the great ship and everyone boarded, around fifty people. Annabeth was worried before, but now, with everyone huddled together and standing, she couldn’t believe that Percy would be able to do it. But she needed to trust him. No, she couldn’t do that, the stupid boy was too loyal to ever say no. She would just have to try to do her best to keep him concentrated, away from interruptions… …but, that was a problem already. If the others agreed to her plan, she would need Percy. She probably would. Maybe not. Ugh! Her questions had no real answers, and her thoughts always ended with questions like: Or will it? Am I sure? Being a daughter of Athena meant you had a lot on your mind. In fifteen minutes, everyone was boarded, thanks to the calming voices of Piper and Reyna. Annabeth was in a boat with Percy, Hazel and Leo. Everything was awkward, because while Percy sat up right beside Annabeth, Hazel and Leo were trying to keep as far away from each other as possible. Hazel fixed her gaze on the darkening horizon, as if one peek would have her explode; Leo was trying to sneak in as many glances at Hazel as possible. Annabeth raised her eyebrows slightly at their direction. Percy just shook his head sadly. Reyna, who was on another equally awkward boat with Jason and Piper, called back , “Find us the closest trench you can feel, preferably the deepest one!” Percy was about to shout back, but Annabeth clamped a hand over his mouth and answered for him. “What was that about?” “There are fifty people in all Perce, you can’t strain yourself.” Percy just shook his head again, but he was smiling. “Stop that! You’re using your facial muscles!” But Annabeth was grinning and they both burst out laughing, making the situation even more awkward. Around eight minutes after leaving shore, Percy called for a stop. “Lower your anchors, but be careful, the earth might just swallow you up with it.” After that comment, everyone jumped before anchoring. Only a few dinghies went down, so everyone was in good mood. Some people clearly didn’t know how to swim, and nobody really blamed them. The seas were just not the Romans’ thing. Annabeth slid of the dinghy, Hazel by her side, and swam to the rest of the crowd. Some had the good sense to bring floats- pieces of plastic, and even empty water bottles- and were passing them out to those who were flailing around in panic. The moment their dinghy’s anchor struck ground, it went down under. Clear message, Gaea. You hate me and my boyfriend. Point taken! Annabeth thought. Surprisingly, no answer came back. Maybe it was the water. “Dive into the bubble once you see that is big enough to hold you.” Percy told them. He dived under and Annabeth watched him. He was practically floating halfway between the water line and the ground without even moving his legs. A flurry of bubbles gathered around him and enveloped him. Then it grew and grew until it was large enough for five people. Slowly, centurions began to enter. The sixth person slipped through the semi-permeable wall of the bubble. The wall quivered and dissipated, and all but Percy came up to surface. This was no good. Only six people? Annabeth decided that she would share her idea and hope to inspire some more. She dove down and grabbed Percy’s, whose chest was heaving heavily, which extremely weird to see in a human who was underwater. When they surfaced she said, “Percy, if you start with the bubble around you, you are cutting yourself of from your source of power. Try creating a bubble in front of you.” Percy nodded, “Good idea. I’ll try i-“ “Wait! Is there any way I can talk to you when we are in the bubble…without breaking your concentration. Or maybe some way to talk to Poseidon himself?” Everyone who heard frowned, confused, but they all knew enough about daughters of Athena/Minerva to not ask her what on earth she needed that for. “I think he’ll listen to you. Should warn him first?” Percy asked. “No. I’m not really sure I’ll need to. Just try what I told you, make a bubble that doesn’t hold you. You’ll be in the water and hopefully that will make you stronger.” Three failed attempts later, a bubble was formed around the fifty people. It was slightly cramped, but seeing how Percy had done before, it was a miracle. His eyes were screwed shut, knees drawn up, and his face was in his hands again, but it was working. The bubble was precisely half between the water line and sand, and no current could budge it now. Annabeth got straight down to business. No point in extending Percy’s pain. “Okay, so there is no way we’re putting a child with his or her immortal parent.” That was received by an instantaneous roar of disagreement. Outside, Percy’s groan could barely be heard. But soon enough they were quiet again. “We must be quick and we must be quiet!” said Reyna. “Continue Annabeth.” “Right. So look, if I was with my mother in the battlefield, then we would both have only one weapon- cunning, strategy, brains. Take that away, or use its weakness against it, and we would have no last resort, no ‘Plan B’. Gaea would send one of her strongest giants to outdo us. Now let’s suppose that you, Clarisse, and your cabin mates were out there, but instead of your father by your side, you had Athena. Let’s suppose you get a remarkably strong giant. There’s no chance you’ll beat it. So you follow Athena’s orders and finish it with a trap, and it’ll be faster because you’re strong too. Let’s say you have a smart giant. You would be able to hurt it with no problems, plus you get some tips from my mom, get the job done faster. “Get what I’m saying?” Fifty heads bobbed up and down. Annabeth continued: “Of course, it’s not as simple as pairing smarts with strength. But it’s a start. I’m sure of one thing though. Jason, you and Percy are extremely powerful…but if you were with your parents, then the giants would just lure you out of your area of comfort. It’d be easy to do that to Percy: just capture someone close to him and show that they’re in danger, and he’ll come running. He’ll jump out the Tiber, or the Mediterranean Sea. Poseidon would follow Percy. And they would both be toast. “Pair him with someone else though, for example Zeus, and they have to two weapons, just like my first scenario. They could buy each other time.” Clearly, it was the best idea, and very logical, but… Zeus with Percy… it would be like living on the sun. Completely unheard of. “So then I would be paired with… Poseidon?” Jason ventured. “Is that why you need to speak to him?” “No. We are in his territory. He hears us. He would have made it clear if he had any objections. Isn’t that right, Lord of the Seas?” The bubble swayed gently and a puddle of water appeared at her feet. In its clear surface was Poseidon’s face, mouth moving, but the sound of his voice was only in her head. You are very intelligent. Even for a daughter of Athena. His voice was really like the sound of the sea, a little gravelly, deep, echoic, and smoothly changing pitch, like the sound of waves swelling and receding. Thank you, Annabeth thought. But I have a favor to ask. Yes? Can you talk to Hades? What for, dear? Annabeth couldn’t help but smile, though she must have looked like a lunatic, smiling at a picture of a man in a Hawaiian shirt in the water. But still…“Dear”. I… Maybe he would help Nico find the doors of death. Poseidon was silent for some time. I shall tell him. But whether he will listen, or if it will work is in the hands of the Fates. Thank you... One more favor? Yes, child? So... you will fight with Percy’s friends, Zeus’s kids, Jason and-? Thalia. Poseidon interrupted. Yes. I always liked that one. Spunky. Of course, dear. I’m not as egoistic as my brothers. Then again, I tend to be moody…but that’s another matter all together. Poseidon’s face smiled in the water. But I am distracting Percy with my presence. I shall leave. They water rippled and dripped out of the bubble. Its floor became more solid. “Annabeth, did you just talk to him?” Frank asked. “Yes, did you hear?” “Only his voice, not yours.” The others in the bubble stared at Frank. “I’m a descendant of Poseidon.” He turned back to Annabeth and asked, “What’s in the hands of the Fates?” “I asked him to ask Hades to find Nico and the doors of death… I didn’t know who else would have a chance at it.” Everyone was silent, and Annabeth had a funny feeling in her stomach and now she was wondering if she had any right to make such a drastic action. Her tension was broken by Reyna’s commenting, “I think that’s the best. No one else would have much of an idea of its location.” “Shouldn’t someone be paired with Hades though? Just in case… Nico…” the speaker, a Roman demigod of Minerva, trailed off. “I’m sure my hunters wouldn’t mind being with Hades. Searching for Nico, that’s the least we could do after what happened to his poor sister…” Thalia said, eyes beginning to water. “All right. But you stay with your brother and Poseidon.” Thalia nodded. “Right,” Reyna started. “Zeus with Percy. Poseidon with Jason and Thalia. Hades and the Hunters of Diana. Minerva and the Ares and Mars kids. Mars with the Athena and Minerva group. Where do you plan to be, Annabeth?” “We’ll just wait and see. Let’s continue. I think Artemis, Diana, should be paired with any group doing activity in the woods. Apollo and his children won’t have any specific location. They should be spread out, so they can cheer us up and heal us. Children of Nike should also be spread out. Aphrodite/Venus should be with the Hephaestus and Vulcan kids.” This was received with grumbles from the children of the latter god. They had no intention of working with someone who made their godly father sad and angry. “Listen. Cyclopes, they get distracted easily. By pretty things especially. If you could design a killing machine, and make it look desirable with Aphrodite’s help…well it might work like how the golden apples distracted Atalanta.” “And Hephaestus? Who will be his group?” Leo asked. “I thank Hecate’s kids. They might help with animating any metal creations by Hephaestus.” The bubble shook suddenly and violently. All eyes turned to Percy, who was curling up more and more into a ball, knuckles white as he hugged his knees, face so scrunched up, he could have been a wrinkled old man. But it he wasn’t losing his grip; the bubble was as solid as ever. It was the ground, the coral infested floor of the sea that was shaking up the currents. A slab of rock jerked up violently and bubble swayed, no longer like a baby’s cradle. The water turned murky in the dust kicked up from the mini earthquake. Annabeth and Reyna exchanged a glance, sharing the same suspicion. Gaea. Without any question, the Greek and Roman demigods nervously pressed their bodies against the bubble’s wall. At first no one could move through it, and Percy could be heard groaning, his voice echoing from the walls of the bubble as if they were a part of him. Then after the first few people pushed through, everything except the roof and floor of the bubble became soft. In less than a minute, everyone except Annabeth and Jason and Reyna were out. Reyna nodded to them both and stepped out. Jason was about to push through but he turned and asked, “You plan on coming, Annabeth?” He smiled and Annabeth smiled back, saying, “Sure.” It was like stepping through a waterfall into an ocean. Behind her, the floor of the bubble distorted, as if searching for any passenger. She swam to Percy, enveloped him in her arms and swam up, feeling Percy relax and go limp. When they reached the surface, he did a soft hiccup and then breathed slowly, like he was asleep. Pressing her back against the surface of the water and her arm around his chest, she realized he was asleep. Her eyes stung from being open in saltwater. She swam to the nearest boat and someone hauled both her and Percy up. Then she closed her eyes, head throbbing.

tight5forever this is amazing I'm surprised your head hasn't popped from this many idea's get writting can't wait POST POST POST POST POST POST

stormyseas ha ha X) thankyou!

stormyseas Chapter 5 Percy The sound of the sea was ever present in his ears. He felt like he had just taken a warm shower in the middle of a cold winter. He had practically no energy left in him other than that enough to keep him breathing. He could hear though. “He doesn’t look that bad for someone who kept a bubble strong enough to hold the weight of fifty warriors afloat in the water.” “I wonder if he was sleeping underwater.” “How’s that even possible?” “When we were underwater, after the ship landed, he fell asleep on me and there was no difference to the bubble. Good gods, he must be so tired. Two battles, and now this. All in one day.” Percy only realized then that one of the voices was Annabeth’s. His head wasn’t fuzzy, really, just very light and comfortable. I am going to be out for a while…so sleepy. He sighed peacefully, and reached out his hand, grasped the closest one and whispered Annabeth, and closed his eyes again, hoping he was holding the right hand.

stormyseas Chapter 6 Thalia “He doesn’t look that bad for someone who kept a bubble strong enough to hold the weight of fifty warriors afloat in the water,” I commented “I wonder if he was sleeping underwater.” “How’s that even possible?” I wondered. “When we were underwater, after the ship landed, he fell asleep on me and there was no difference to the bubble. Good gods, he must be so tired. Two battles, and now this. All in one day.” Thalia nodded her head. Even she, who had once been on the run from monsters with two others to take care of- Luke and Annabeth- had never run into such situations often. Percy sighed in his sleep and Annabeth smiled. Then he gripped Thalia’s hand so tight she would have soon lost blood circulation and whispered Annabeth. She shared a look with Annabeth full of suppressed laughs, pried his hand off and tossed it carelessly at her. She caught it and set it gently on her knee. When they reached shore, Leo and Frank offered to carrying Percy to the Fifth Cohort barracks. Annabeth wouldn’t have agreed if it wasn’t for her being too tired to carry him. But she stayed by his side the whole time. Thalia felt sorry for her. She obviously cared for him beyond anything else and now they were going straight into a war which would probably leave them dead. They might end up in Elysium… but what could beat being plain alive? I walked over to my brother, who was sitting on the beach, looking quite lost. Some distance to my left, I saw Piper, who turned away immediately when she saw me, and unfortunately for her, bumped right into a spying Reyna. In my head, I threw up fireworks. I loved having that effect on people. Both girls mumbled a sorry and headed off in opposite directions. My brother must have noticed me and my gaze, because when I looked at him again, he was staring back and forth between Reyna and Piper with a pained expression. “What’s up lil’ bro? Girl trouble?” He cracked a smile and nudged my arm. “Technically, we’re pretty much the same age now.” “Actually, lil’ bro, my tree years count. So I’m still bigger than you. Anyway, do you want some advice or what?” “On what?” he asked innocently. “Oh, you know, the two lovesick girls you’re torturing with your every move. Look, I’m no Aphrodite, but those two like you, and it’s about time you made a decision.” Jason looked at Thalia like she wasn’t human…which in a sense, she wasn’t completely. “What? Why are you looking at me like that?” Thalia said defensively. Jason just shook his head like, I can’t believe we are related… But he was smiling, so Thalia decided not to kill him. “So who do I choose?” Jason asked stupidly. “Who do you like?” Thalia replied, talking deliberately slowly, just to annoy Jason. Jason scowled and said, “Umm….” “Yeah well, Umm is not an option. Have fun lil’ bro! Oh, and please, call me when you dump her so I can get her slapping you on tape!” Her voice was cheerful, and clearly meant to annoy, but Jason knew she was just trying to break the tension. Thalia, clearly disappointed in his figuring out her trick, walked off, toward the Fifth Cohort Barracks; Annabeth would need an old friend.
