A/N: OK. So I wanted to try making one of those reading thing type of stories… just for the heck of it. Enjoy! *The ones in Italics are characters' thoughts.

~ At Camp Half-Blood ~ (3rd POV)

It's been exactly 3 weeks, 2 days and 45 minutes since the Battle of Manhattan finished. Camp Half-Blood looks good as new with a few changes. More cabins, more kids and definitely more laughter and fun.

The gods have all kept their word. Kids being claimed, cabins built for the minor gods and goddesses and Hades was now a part of the Olympians. Everything was perfect especially for our favorite Hero of Olympus who was currently getting ready for a date with you-know-who… sort of. Percy Jackson was standing in front of his bed trying to comb his mess of a hair.

Ok… ok… breathe Perce, breathe… it's just a date…. What could possibly go wrong on a date? Other than the fact that Annabeth could possibly break up with- no! Stop it. Bad thoughts! Everything will turn out fine. Yeah… fine… oh man! It's almost time!

Ok. I'll just walk out there and enjoy the day. Stop hyperventilating Perce. You'll do great…Yup. Time to go.

But it didn't happen that way. HE was only a few more steps to the door when he was engulfed in a bright light which disappeared… with him in it. Soon Percy found himself falling into darkness. He heard a scream before he connected with the floor.

~ With the Thalia ~ (3rd POV)

*thwack*

The deer lay dead by the creek with a single arrow in its neck. Thalia stood up from her position behind the bushes and went to collect her arrow and bring the game back to their campsite.

"Good job, Thalia. You are improving immensely, my Lieutenant." Lady Artemis said, materializing beside me. I gave her a smile. "Thank you , my lady."

A slight breeze picked up and Artemis stiffened. Her head whipped to the South.

"Milady?" Artemis glared at the … whatever she was looking at. She turned to me. "I sense a monster in the south. Do not worry about it, sister. It will only take a few more minutes."

She pointed at the deer I had just slain which glowed and disappeared.

"You will find the deer back at our campsite. You may return there now, Thalia. Do not wait for me tonight." I nodded to show I understood.

"Yes, Artemis." She smiled at me and jogged to the south till I couldn't see her anymore. I gave a small sigh and turned to the direction of the Hunter's campsite. But like everything in my life, it didn't turn out that simple. Just as I took a step forward, this strange yellow light engulfed me and I found myself falling… in the dark! I let out a silly little (just a little) scream

~ With Nico in who-knows-where ~ (Nico's POV)

I snapped my fingers and the two dead soldiers turned into a pile of bones which sunk in to the ground. I was in the underworld…. being grounded because I failed in Greek Mythology… grrrrrrr. It's no fair!

People are most likely enjoying themselves already. I mean C'mon! It's almost the winter solstice which means it's almost Christmas.

It's probably snowing at Camp… Ahhh camp….. I miss it…. I HATE BEING GROUNDED!

… so boredddddddddd…..

Uggghhhhhh! Why did dad have to keep me here? Doesn't he know that I can shadow travel in a matter of mi- OH MY GODS I'M SO STUPID!

Ok…..

A few minutes later

I was all set and began running. The minute I reached a shadow, this big bright yellow light appeared and blinded. I fell unceremoniously on my butt but the light still engulfed me. When it was gone, I could hear a scream and darkness everywhere…. This would be fun but weird. After the scream, I heard someone fall with a yelp of pain…. wait a minute... I knew those voices….

"Percy?"

A/N: I just thought I'd try one of those sent to the past kind of thingsss…. So yeah.
