Alright Guys... My first try! Tell me how bad it is! This chapter takes place after TLO and before TLH!

These are The Day's I'll Remember

*Nico's POV*

I woke up in the shadows of the Fields of Asphodel. Every day I thought about her and yet, she never figured it out. I wandered into the Garden of Persephone and considered eating the forbidden Fruit for the millionth time. This was part of my morning routine; Wake up, think about Thalia , consider eating forbidden fruit so I would no longer see Thalia , decide it would break my heart. I was conflicted. I wandered my way towards the throne room but as I approached I heard Hades and Persephone arguing and turned around. I decided to visit Percy at camp. I ran towards the gate and right before I would smash into it, dove into the shadows.

I loved the feeling of shadow travel. It was like the wind was blowing right down to your bones and the darkness was eating you. So basically, IT WAS AWSOME! I stumbled out into the middle of the strawberry fields after a minute or two and practically scared some dryads out of their skirts. Not that I would have minded. I wandered towards the ocean, figuring that was where I'd find Percy and Annabeth. I saw Percy and Annabeth sitting side by side, framed by the sun. I was about to call out their names when I noticed a third person. THALIA! Oh gods, what do I do now? I started to turn away, but it was too late. Thalia had noticed me.

"NICO! HEY KID! DEATH! COME SAY HI!" Thalia screamed out at me. I jogged towards them wincing beneath my smile.

"Hey guys. How's life been in the mortal world?" I asked casually as I reached them.

"Pretty good, dude." Percy answered with a smile back at me. He had his arm around Annabeth and I noticed a locket around her neck. Pointing at it I exclaimed,

"Dude, you've been busy!" Annabeth and him immediately blushed, hard. Thalia threw her arm around me and then I was blushing.

"Ahhh, it's good to have my partner in crime back for awhile." She teased. I felt her tense, as she must have made a realization. "Wait- you are staying for awhile, aren't you?" she said with a tense expression.

"Why of course! Why would you think otherwise?" I replied, glad it was something simple that had made her nervous.

"Oh, I don't know, just last time YOU DITCHED ME AFTER THAT PRANK?" she teased her voice rising in the end.
"About that…" I mumbled with a cheeky smile.

"Yeah, THAT!" she called back at me. "Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking?" Thalia said mischievously to Annabeth and Percy. I saw the look that they exchanged and barley had the time to yell,

"OH CRAP!" before they picked me up and chucked me into the ocean. I sucked in some sea water before I came up above sputtering. "NOT COOL!" I shouted, as I coughed up sea gunk.

"What are you going to do about it?" Thalia taunted as I walked towards her.

"Nothing." I said as I neared her. One step closer and I was inches from her face. "Except this." I leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. Just a light peck. "And that's how it's done, folks!" I cried as I walked away. "Latah Chicks!" I said as I sauntered into the distance. These are the day's I'll remember.

*Thalia's POV*

The sun was setting in the sky, causing a billion different shades of red and orange to appear. I smiled and turned to glance at Percy and Annabeth. They were staring into each other's eyes as if they were still dumbfounded that they were alive. I guess some of us just didn't understand that the war had ended months ago! It was chillaxing time! I was getting bored watching the two love birds try and make out through looks, so I called out, "Hey I thought we came to watch the sunset, not each other, lovebirds!" They both glanced up, startled. I cracked up at the expression on Annabeth's face, ' who me?'She seemed to say with her stormy gray eyes.

Percy glared at me, "Annabeth's eyes are ten times more beautiful than any sky could ever be." He called with a grin towards Annabeth. She grinned. Man, that kid knew how to hit her love strings! I heard footsteps behind me, still conscious of my hunters training even at camp. I turned around, expecting someone coming to get us for dinner but it was Nico. He turned around with a funny look on his face but I wasn't going to let him go.

"NICO! HEY KID! DEATH! COME SAY HI!" I screamed at him. He turned and jogged towards us, smiling. Holy Artemis, he's hot! My mind screamed at me. He had gotten taller over the time I'd been gone. His shaggy dark hair fell over his eyes and he was pale tan. His eyes radiated darkness with a twinge of mischievousness in them. Stop thinking this way Thals, I thought to myself. I was a Hunter of Artemis, an eternal maiden.

He reached us and said, "Hey guys, how's life been in the mortal world?" I was about to say something witty in reply when Percy said, "Pretty good, dude" or something else epically surfer. Nico just then caught a glimpse at Annabeth's necklace. STOP looking at her! I screamed mentally. What has come over me? I am shocked at myself. Annabeth is deeply in love with Percy, not Nico!

"Dude," he started, pointing at the locket, "You've been busy!" he grinned that devious grin of his as Percy and Annabeth blushed madly. I threw my arm around Nico- WHAT IN HADES WAS I DOING!- and teased,

"Ahhh, it's good to have my partner in crime back for awhile." I started relaxing but immediately tensed- what if he was leaving soon?
"Wait- you are staying for awhile, aren't you?" I said worriedly. He always left quickly after he came.

"Why of course! Why would you think otherwise?" he replied quickly. He seemed relieved that I had asked such a simple question.

"Oh, I don't know, just last time YOU DITCHED ME AFTER THAT PRANK?" I yelled, making fun of him.
"About that…" he mumbled with an adorable smile.

"Yeah, THAT!" I called back at him. "Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking?" I said evilly to Annabeth and Percy. By the look they gave me they were VERY much in agreement to my thoughts.

We all rushed at Nico as he shouted, "OH CRAP!" I grabbed his upper body and couldn't help but notice how buff he was. We chucked him in the ocean and he came up sputtering as we laughed. "NOT COOL!" he shouted, as he coughed up kelp.

"What are you going to do about it?" I taunted as he neared me. He had a devilish look in his eyes that made him even hotter.

"Nothing." He replied as he came close. He was inches away from my face when he said, "Except this." He leaned in and I could smell his salty breath as he planted a kiss on my cheek. I stood there, shocked as he pranced away. "And that's how it's done, folks!" he shouted. He was almost out of sight when he looked back and called, "Latah chicks!" I stood there feeling like an idiot. A recently kissed idiot, at that. I started to blush and Percy and Annabeth laughed at the expression on my face. Oh, these are the days I'll remember.

Sorry it's so short! I need some reader advice though! And flames don't bug me, if you can't take the heat then stay out of the kitchen, right? So anything you want done from Thalia/Nico's POV just tell me! Say the word and I shall do! Thanks for reading! R&R!
