Annabeth walked through the camp until she arrived at the Aphrodite cabin. When she walked in, all of her friends greeted her. "Hey, guys!"

"Hey, Annabeth!" Rachel gave her a quick wave as she looked up from doodling on her jeans.

"Annabeth! You made it!" Piper jumped up and gave her a big hug.

Thalia rolled her eyes and chuckled, "She was just walking from one side of the cabin to the next."

"It is good to see you again Annabeth." Reyna smiled at her. "It's been too long."

"It really has." Annabeth gave her a quick hug, not nearly as enthusiastic as Piper's. Next time you're in town we need to get lunch or something."

"Oh, I wanna come!" Hazel also gave Annabeth a hug. "It feels like forever since you and Percy last visited New Rome!"

Annabeth chuckled, "Don't worry, I think he mentioned wanting to stop by in the next week or two."

"Yes!" Hazel squealed excitedly.

"I may just have to join you two love birds," Thalia commented. "It's been a while since I spent some time with my little bro, and Artemis is giving us the next few weeks off while she's on some special hunt with Apollo."

"Oh, this sounds fun!" Piper grinned. "I want to come too!"

Annabeth laughed, "Why don't we focus on today's hangout first. So, what's the plan?"

"There always has to be a plan with you doesn't there." Thalia nudged her with a smile.

Annabeth blushed, "Not all the time... I just like to be organized!" everyone laughed.

"I'm good with just about anything." Reyna commented. "Spending time with friends is good enough for me."

"Same here." Hazel added.

"Ditto." Rachel smiled.

"Well let's think for a bit..." Piper tapped her chin. "We're going to be staying the night at my dad's apartment, so we obviously will need to end up in the city at some point. Do we want to do anything before we go to the apartment?"

Thalia shrugged, "We can, but I don't know how awake I'll be. Artemis has been working us pretty hard the last few days since she's giving us a break, so I may fall asleep."

"I'm kind of tired myself." Annabeth admitted. "I was up all night finishing a paper."

"Why don't we just stay at the apartment then." Rachel suggested. "We can have more a relaxing evening."

"I kind of like the sound of that myself." Reyna commented.

"Oh, we can have a stereotypical slumber party!" Piper squealed. "We can braid each other's hair, do each other's nails, order tons of pizza, watch movies, listen to One Direction, talk about boys, it'll be so much fun!"

Rachel started beaming, "I do love me some Harry Styles..."

Hazel started bouncing, "Oh that does sound fun! What's One Direction?"

Thalia groaned, "Are they even still relevant? Can't we listen to something good, like My Chemical Romance?"

Piper scoffed, "Talk about irrelevant! They broke up too!"

"They're getting back together!" Thalia shot back.

"Well Harry just released a new album and he's honestly the only one that matters!" Rachel added while Piper stuck her tongue out at Thalia.

"I don't know," Annabeth shrugged. "I always kind of liked Zayn..."

Rachel and Piper gasped, "How dare you even speak his name..."

Hazel looked around confused, "Um... none of this answered my question..."

Reyna shook her head, "Just ignore them... So, are we ready to go?"

Annabeth nodded, "I think so. Argus volunteered to take us into the city so we probably shouldn't keep him waiting."

Hazel grinned broadly, "This is going to be so fun! I've never been to a slumber party."

Piper wrapped an arm around her shoulder, "You're in for the night of your life! Let the girl's night out begin!"

Thalia raised her hand, "Aren't we technically staying IN?"

Annabeth waved her off. "Don't think about it too much."

(A/N - Hey guys, I hope you like it so far. :) See you next week!)
