Percy's POV:

I stepped onto the podium, looking at Annabeth with a nervous glance. She nodded reassuringly and I took a deep breath.

"Hi, my name is Percy Jackson, an Olympic swimmer. I have called Goode High my home for many years, and it still remains this way up to this day. I have been privileged with the scholarship to go to NYU. Thank you."

I stepped back, watching Annabeth go forward and say her lines. Then all my friends were done. We received our scrolls and I hugged my friends as we finished. We had survived high school. I looked over at Thalia, who was hugging me and crying, and I cradled her in my arms. She let out a laugh and looked at my face.

Thalia's POV:

I stared at Percy's sea-green eyes. So beautiful, so charming. I was so happy that we were going to NYU together. We all gathered at the house, cheering. We all were going to college. This called for a party. Percy decided to go make outfits again. I smiled. That idiotic kelp head was not that dumb anymore.

Hey!

Get out of my head, Percy!

I rolled my eyes and put on the outfit he made for me. Who was coming to this party anyway?

Camp, Pinecone Face.

All camps?

All camps.

I thought about Artemis and the hunters.

Yes, they're coming, too.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD, PERSEUS JACKSON!

I sighed and shook my head.

"Boys..." I muttered.

If the Aphrodite girls... no...

Yes, we're doing couple-themed outfits, now go check the list.

GET OUT! OR I'LL SHOOT AN ARROW UP YOUR ASS!

Bye!

I checked this list.

Thalia and Connor = Charging the iPhone (A/N: I couldn't come up with anything else.)

Nico and Will = Dark and Light

Piper and Jason = Love in the Air

Hazel and Frank = Black Engagement Ring (A/N: It just came up in my mind)

Percy and Annabeth = Bubbles in the Sea

Clarisse and Chris = Hot Chocolate (Clarisse is fiery, Chris is sweet...get it?)

Katie and Travis = Roses

Leo and Calypso = Spicy Cupcakes (Don't question it)

Rachel = Paintball fight

I slapped my forehead. Charging an iPhone? Really?

Sparky, you're the electricity here. Connor is the iPhone, now go get changed!

I shook my head before running off to my room. I shuddered at the idea of having to dress like a chicken again.
