"Wow, Thalia you actually did a really good job!" they were all admiring the braid that she had done on Annabeth's hair.

She blushed, "Yeah whatever... a lot of the hunters like to braid their hair and I do it for them sometimes."

Annabeth smiled as she looked at herself in the mirror, "I'm going to have to have you do my hair for Percy and I's wedding." She immediately realized her mistake.

"Wedding?!" they all shouted in glee.

She rolled her eyes, "Nothing official like that! But... we have talked about it once or twice... We're just waiting until we're both out of college..."

"So, you're for sure getting married?!" Hazel asked excitedly.

"I mean I don't know..." she turned red with embarrassment. "Life is short, and Percy and I love each other so we want to spend as much time together as we can. I guess I can't say it's for sure, who knows, he may tick me off next week and I judo flip him into the sun, but for right now... I'd really like to marry him..." she said the last part wistfully.

"Aww!" they all smiled. "That's so sweet!"

Piper sighed, "I wish Jason and I were like that. I love him with all my heart, but you and Percy are on a whole other level."

Hazel nodded sadly, "Yeah, Frank and I aren't nearly as close as you guys..."

"Hey don't sweat it!" Annabeth smiled at them. "Percy and I officially started dating when we were 16. But he Grover and I have been best friends since we were twelve. We had a lot of time to get to know each other before we started dating. What each of us liked and didn't like, what our favorite foods were, favorite plants, we've had a lot more time then you guys. So, don't worry, you'll get there."

Piper smiled, "Yeah I guess you're right."

"So now what?" Rachel asked leaning back in her seat.

"Should we do nails now?" Hazel asked looking around.

Reyna nodded, "That sounds good to me."

"Oh, dibs on Rachel doing my nail!" Piper grinned, "It pays having an artist among us."

Rachel blushed, "It's no big deal... but I'd be happy to do your nails."

Thalia looked down at her chewed up nails, "Um... whoever does mine is really going to have a hard time..."

"Let me see..." Reyna examined her cuticles, "Man this is atrocious... but don't worry, I dealt with this all the time on the island. I think I can fix it..."

"Annabeth, will you paint my nails?" Hazel asked shyly.

"Sure!" she smiled.

They all took their places once more as Piper supplied them with a box full of nail polish. One Direction continued to blare in the background.
