*Bianca POV*

I thought back to yesterday. Percy and the rest of the boys had gone to but their suits while we went to get our dresses

After the boys left Julia appeared out of thin air. She literally fell out of the sky. "Ouch." She winced and stood up. "Oh, hey guys." She said awkwardly. Silena squealed and hugged her. We all joined in the group hug. "Julia I haven't seen you in so long!" Silena exclaimed, bouncing up and down. Julia laughed, "Calm down Sil. I was on a mission."

Silena dragged us into the city. She dragged us around for hours looking for a shop with what she would consider suitable dresses. After what felt like an eternity she still hadn't found any. We convinced her to get some food before continuing the search. While we ate Silena complained about the lack of good dresses. Julia looked up from her burger and chips, "Sil, your inner Aphrodite is showing." Silena blushed and returned to her food. We chatted while we ate, mainly complaining about Annab*tch and the other campers. Percy had been careful to avoid her as much as possible but the others had had a few run ins with her. Zoë was complaining about her trying to yank off Zoë's mask. "And then she complained about me!" Zoë finished indignantly. Julia shook her head, "What a b*tch. Can't wait to meet her." She cracked her knuckles, "I need to hurt her for what she did to Percy." "We all want to hurt her but we have orders to behave cordially to her." Calypso said calmly. Julia scoffed, "Since when do I follow orders from Percy?" I sighed, "Julia, just this once, please listen to Perce. Being back here, it's really hard on him. He tries to hide it but I can tell he's hurting. I'm doing all I can to help but unfortunately there's not much I can do. Don't make this harder than it has to be." She huffed, "Fine. Just this once." "Thank you."

After we ate Silena returned to dragging us around the city. She finally found a shop she considered suitable and we went in to buy our dresses. We agreed that we wouldn't show each other our dresses until tomorrow.

Once we got back the boys were back as well. "Hey Perce, did you have a good time?" I asked, kissing him on the cheek. "Hi Bia, yeah it was fun." He answered. I could tell he was hiding something. "Percy..." He sighed, "I fought Zack. He's joined Kronos." I hugged him, "I'm sorry Perce, I know how close you two were." "Yeah. I should go talk to Jack." He said, gesturing weakly in Jack's direction. "Okay, see you later." I sat down on the couch beside Zoë, who was reading. I saw Percy lead Jack off to the side. Glad I don't have to explain to Jack. I feel sorry for Jack, finding out your twin brother abandoned you to join your enemy would break anyone and after their mother died too.

Ethan stood up and approached Julia nervously, "J- Julia?" She looked up, "Hey Ethan. What's up?" "W-will you go to the dance with me? A-as friends." Julia looked sad at the last part, "Yeah. As friends..."

"Silena get away from me with that infernal torture device!" Zoë yelled. Silena rolled her eyes, "It's a curling iron Zoë, not a torture device." Zoë brandished her knife, "Get it away from me!" "Fine." Silena muttered. I sat in the corner and watched. Silena retreated to her vanity table and pulled open a drawer, rummaging around in it. She pulled something out and turned back to Zoë. Zoë backed away from Silena and I snickered. Unfortunately, they heard me and turned to look at me. Zoë glared at me while Silena just looked amused. "Come on Zoë, it's just makeup." Calypso said. Zoë turned her glare to Calypso, "I don't care if it's "Just makeup" I have enough on already, thank you very much." Silena and Zoë continued bickering. I leaned back against the wall and closed my eyes. Percy had a nightmare last night. He didn't tell me what it was about. I yawned. "-Ca. Bianca!" I started back awake. "Sorry Cal. Fell asleep." She nodded understandingly, "Nightmares?" I nodded. "So, why'd you wake me up?" "End's here." "Oh, hey End." I said to End. "Hello dear." She answered. "I'm here to help you all get ready for the dance!" "O-okay." I said, yawning. "Tired before a dance? This just won't do." End muttered. She waved her hand and a glass of blue liquid appeared. I smiled slightly, it looked exactly like Percy's blue coke. She handed it to me, "Drink this, it'll give you some energy." I took it and drank it in one go. Funny, it tasted like Percy's blue coke as well. "What was that?" I asked, handing End the glass back. "Hm? Oh, some of Percy's coke with a few special ingredients." "Okay." She clapped once, "Alright! Time to get ready!"
