Children of The Big Three, Book 3: Titans Curse

Chapter Six: Road Trip

"May thee please change thy radio station?"

"Yeah, the noise is making it hard to focus on trimming my eyebrows."

"Why are you doing that now?!"

"Cause I'm tryna look nice for Percy."

"Why is that a priority for you!?" Thalia meant to sound annoyed, but it came off more concerned, which both other girls picked up.

"Ew."

"Ew to me or to Thalia?"

"Why would it be to me!?!"

"Yes."

"I will turn this truck around!"

"Yes, please. Give up thy foolish quest to save some boy, and-"

"Correction: I will crash this car into a tree at terminal velocity."

"Noted."

"Are you guys having fun? Because I am having a lot of fun so far."

"It's only been fifteen minutes, Silena!"

"And we've already bonded so much!"

"Oh yes, I definitely feel closer to you both."

"Silena?"

"Yeah?"

"Zoë?"

"Yes?"

"When we get out of this car, I'm hitting you both, over the head, with sticks. I'm sorry in advance."

"I feel like if you're sorry for something you haven't done yet, you just wouldn't do the thing you're sorry about."

"Oh you're right. Guess I'm not sorry."

"Fantastic. Now I won't even get an apology."

"Do you guys think I should go with cherry red or a clear gloss on my lips?"

"I believe thou would be better off preparing thyself for the battles ahead, instead of fretting over what some guy wants."

Silena scoffed, and lightly flicked Zoë in the head, to which the Hunter had to resist the urge to punch the Daughter of Aphrodite in the face. "This isn't about what Percy wants,"

"You've made that obvious."

"It's about what he needs." Both Thalia and Zoë raised an eyebrow, though Thalia's was a lot harder to notice, due to the fact that she was driving, so her face was obscured from the back seats vision. "You weren't here for this Zoë, but me and Percy got separated from the rest of the group in the Sea of Monsters, right?" Thalia frowned at the memory; for it wasn't one of her favorites, but Zöe just nodded in understanding. "Well, he felt really bad. Like, he was holding onto Thalia's spear, which was like, constantly burning him."
