FINALLY AFTER WHAT FELT LIKE YEARS OF WAITING, in the freezing weather where Zola's fingertips had just turned blue. 

There was a sudden burst of light on the horizon. A blast of warmth. Finally

"Don't look," Artemis advised. "Not until he parks."

Zola averted her eyes as she waited for the signal which indicated that it was safe to look. The light dying down was that signal.

A red convertible Maserati Spyder was parked and the snow had melted around the Maserati in a perfect circle. Then it clicked in Zola's mind. Of course, it's Apollo, the God of music, poetry, art, oracles, archery, plague, medicine, sun, light and knowledge. WOW.

Zola watched as a boy of around the age seventeen to eighteen stepped out of the convertible. He had sandy coloured hair and the most charming smile, Zola could swear it was so pearly white she could see her face in it. 

She let out a gasp quickly followed by an 'OMG how can someone..like..like how?". Zola was bi and proud but it was not easy for her to fall for someone at first sight. Just looking at Apollo made her want to do just that.

"I know right", Thalia muttered agreeing, "Apollo is hot."

"He's the sun God", Percy said.

Thalia and Zola simultaneously turned to Percy with a look of disbelief before both turning their attention back to Apollo.

"That's not what we meant", they said robotically at the same time as they watched Apollo's every movement. 

"Little sister!" Apollo called. His teeth blinding Zola even more. "What's up? You never call. You never write. I was getting worried!".

Artemis sighed. "I'm fine, Apollo. And I am not your little sister."

"Hey, I was born first."

Zola was pretty sure Artemis assisted with the birth of Apollo and that why she was also the Goddess of Childbirth but she decided not to comment. 

"We're twins! How many millennia do we have to argue-"

"So what's up?" he interrupted. "Got the girls with you, I see. You all need some tips on archery?"

He winked at all of them and as Zola made eye contact with him she felt like she was about to melt.

Artemis however grit her teeth. "I need a favor. I have some hunting to do, alone. I need you to take my companions to Camp Half-Blood."

"Sure, sis!" Then he raised his hands. 

Zola knew what was coming from what others had told her and as much as she found Apollo attractive. She was dreading it.
