[The Friday... about me]

"Ooh, do tell," Leo said.

"NO!!!" I yelled before my mom could say anything.

"I'll tell you later dear," Mom told Leo.

"Mom!! Why??" I groaned.

"You were so cute as a baby," she told me.

'At least she doesn't have any pictures with her' I thought holding back another groan.

[Thalia wiped... my battles]

"How did you get back?" Paul asked.

"You'll see," I said glancing at Apollo.

["It's okay... like it]

"It rings even more true now," I said.

"Yes, and thank goodness for that," Mom said.

["All right... to death]

"Oh, but you were adorable," Mom said.

"MOM!!!" I exclaimed, turning red.

"It's a parent's job to embarrass their child," Dad said with a chuckle.

"And how would you know, dad? Kronos ate you as a baby," I said.

"You wouldn't call that embarrassing? Plus Mother Rhea was plenty embarrassing, after Zeusy freed the rest of us," he said.

[Annabeth and... I guessed]

"Ouch," Nico said.

"Sorry Neeks, I didn't know it was you," I told him.

[The oak... dance music]

Most of those who had attended any sort of school dance groaned.

"Not a school dance!" Leo said.

"Trust me dude, that was how I felt," I told him.

"It wasn't that bad," Annabeth told me.

[We stashed... be eee-jected!"]

"What?" Travis asked.

"He was saying we'd be thrown out with a bit of an accent," I told him.

[He had... eighth grade."]

"What just happened?" Connor asked.

"I manipulated the mist. Chiron taught me" Thalia said.

"Can you teach us?" Travis asked Chiron.

"No," he stated firmly.

"Why?" Connor whined.

"Because I know exactly what you'd do if I did," Chiron said.

[The male... be kidding]

Leo and half of the other teens started snickering.

"You are so immature," Artemis told Apollo.

"What? It's a funny name!" Apollo defended.

[The woman... made it!"]

"And you still can't lie," Travis said, shaking his head.

"What a shame," Connor said, matching his brother.

[Dr. Thorn... not me?]

"Like I said, as I believed Thalia would be the child of the prophecy as she is... er, was, older, I found it more beneficial to teach her. I can see how that might've come across as favoritism though," Chiron said.
