When the group of six--no, now five demigods, Grover, and Argus got back to Camp Halfblood, Chiron was waiting for them. Percy had Grover Iris Message him to tell then that they were coming back, but no other details about their adventure were given to him. He was clueless, for now.

"Campers!" Chiron said when they all piled out of the van. "Glad you're all safe--" 

Chiron cut himself off when he only saw one new demigod, who looked rather miserable. He exchanged a glance with Argus and Grover, then trotted over to Bianca.

"My dear, what is wrong?" He questioned the her, but already has a guess for what had gone wrong.

"I--Its fine," Bianca said, and sniffed a little bit. She was too deep in her thoughts about her brother to acknowledge that Chiron had half of a horse body growing out of his hips. 

She knew that Percy was also beating himself up for loosing Nico, but that he was trying to comfort her the best he could. Even making promises that Bianca knew would be hard to keep. Percy tried to distract her by telling her about the new world that she was entering--the world where Greek Gods and Goddesses existed. It seemed fascinating, but all she wanted right now was to hug Nico tightly and tell him that he is safe. He is too young to experience these things, and even she is too. And Percy. He looked like he had a hard past life. After all, it is really hard to ignore the deep scars he has on his cute face and hands. 

He wore long sleeves and pants, but she new that even more scars were being hidden by the layered clothing. Even with the differences, he is amazing. He is so good at fighting! Bianca knew that Thalia, the pale girl with black hair, had spunk, but he was just so much better than everyone. So kind, and--Bianca cut off her train of thought. 

No, I can't do this. I can't be feeling this way right now when Nico, my sweet little brother has been captured! she scolded herself in her head.

"--anca...Bianca...BIANCA!" Thalia said, snapping her fingers in front of Bianca's face.

"W--What?" She said, startled out of her thoughts.

Thalia smirked at her. "You were daydreaming way to intently."

Bianca blushed deeply. "J--Just thinking about poor Nico...."

"Uh huh..." Thalia said, studying Bianca's face before turning back to the conversation Grover, Percy, and Chiron were having. A group of people had crowded around Hercules, and they were all fawning over him. Annabeth, surprisingly, was at the back of the crowd, but nevertheless, near him. She glanced over at Percy's group a few times, but stayed with the Hercules Fan Club. For now.

"I need to go find Nico," Percy was saying when Bianca joined the group. 

"I'll go with you," Bianca said.

"No, it may be too dangerous. Stay here, get some training, and learn more about the Gods."

"But I may be able to sense him if I get near him--"

"Please, Bianca, just stay here. Stay safe. For me? Please?" Percy begged her.

Bianca blushed again. He's worried about me! She thought.

Thalia glared at her. 

"F--Fine. I will stay here."

"Good. Now I should leave--"

"I? Only you?" Thalia asked. 

"No--well, yes--"

"No. I am going to go with you! You can't make me stay here, Percy."

Percy smirked. "Actually, I could--"

"Shut up! I am going whether you like it, or not, Kelp Head!" Thalia warned.

Percy smiled warmly at her. She is so fierce! And that is why I like her.

Thalia saw him smiling, and couldn't help but return the smile. He's so cute. But what is Bianca's problem? She keeps looking at him. He's not that weird looking! He's just different. And cute. Wait.... Oh, Gods, could she possibly like him? Thalia wondered silently. She didn't want anyone else to like him, and she is just realizing the extent of her feeling toward him. Thalia would smite anyone who came near her Kelp Head. Anyone who meant harm to him. He is just that special.
