..Chapter 1..
A Certain Dreamy Sun God
TPOV
"Okay Hunters! I'm going up to Olympus for a meeting with the Gods and Goddesses. I'm going to pick one person to accompany me," Lady Artemis said to us. We only had about ten other hunters with us now while all the rest went out on a mission. I raised my hand immediately and Artemis smiled.
"Of course I'd love to take you Thalia. Come on we must leave now," she said beckoning me off the ground. I stood up and waved at the other hunters. We were close to the Empire State Building so it only took us a couple minutes to arrive. We stepped into the elevator and we were off. Even if I had already been to Olympus it still amazed me. I gasped when we stepped off the elevator and started walking through the buildings and demigods. We finally reached the great palace and walked into the Throne room.
When I walked in I looked at all the Gods. One in particular caught my eye. He looked exactly like Luke except that he didn't have the scar and his smile was more bright and playful. When Apollo looked at me he winked. I blushed and averted my eyes as I remembered the incident with his car. Artemis sat in her throne and I sat below her feet.
"Glad to see we are all here. Let us begin," Zeus said with a smile on his face.
When the meeting had ended the gods and goddesses had returned to human size and were now walking around talking with other gods or goddesses. Artemis told me we would leave in a minute and she disappeared from my side. I sighed and stood in a corner of the room watching everybody.
"Hey you don't look to happy," a voice said from behind me. I immediately jumped and stood in a fighting pose when I realized it was only Apollo. He held his hands up in mock horror. "Whoa watch it!" he said playfully as I blushed standing up straight. "So how's life going with my annoying little sister?" Apollo asked me smirking. I narrowed my eyes and glared at him. I spun around to walk away when he grabbed my shoulders and spun me around. "Whoa, whoa! Sorry! No need to be offensive," he said holding up his hands again but I could see a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"Nobody insults Lady Artemis," I said trying to keep back a smile at his reaction. He shook his head and chuckled.
"But I just did," he said winking. I just blushed and looked around the room. I was about to look back at Apollo when I saw Aphordite smiling over at me. When she saw that I was looking at her she made a heart with her hands and nodded her head at Apollo. I clenched my fists and shook my head furiously. She just laughed and flipped her hair over her shoulder. "What are you mad at?" Apollo asked suddenly concerned. It made my stomach fill with butterflies to think of why his voice sounded all worried like that.
"Aphrodite," I said furiously. He just cocked an eyebrow at me. When I didn't tell him he just shrugged it off. He sighed and looked up at me smiling.
"Now for the real reason I came over here..." he trailed off stepping closer to me. I just backed away getting freaked out.
"W-what a-are you d-doing?" I stuttered still backing up. He just smirked at me.
"Will you be so kind as to go on a date with me?" he asked innocently with his arms behind his back. The way he said it almost made me say yes. Almost, but not quite. I clenched my fists and narrowed my eyes. I stepped closer to him until we were nose to nose.
"I'm a Hunter!" I said insulted. I was so close to him I could feel his breathe on my face as he smirked.
"It's a simple question will you go out with me? Yes or no-," he was cut off by footsteps coming up to us. I pushed him away from me as I looked to the side. There was Artemis standing there with her arms crossed across her chest and tapping her right foot. She was glaring at Apollo and giving me a disapproving look. I blushed and looked down at my feet as I heard Apollo chuckle nervously.
"Apollo mind telling me what was going on between Thalia and you?" Artemis said in a sickly sweet voice. I looked up to see Apollo scratch the back of his head nervously and give me a panicked look. I just shook my head at him. When he didn't say anything Artemis sighed and looked at me. "We will return back to camp now. I'll meet you outside," she said and gave Apollo one last look before leaving the room.
"Were you going to tell her?" I asked throwing my hands up in the air. He just shook his head and smiled.
"I'll be awaiting your answer Thalia," he said. He took a step closer and kissed my hand before walking away. My mouth dropped staring after him. I just groaned and walked outside to meet Lady Artemis.

I could tell Artemis was still disappointed in me by the time we reached camp. I hadn't said anything at all fearing I would get in trouble. I decided to sleep under the stars away from all the hunters so I could think things through. I layed down and tried to sleep but Apollo's smirking face kept filling my thoughts.
"UGGGH!" I groaned rolling over onto my face.
"Something wrong?" a voice asked from beside me. I jumped up screaming in the process. When the person clapped a hand over my mouth I then realized it was none other than Apollo. Darn him.
"What are you doing here!" I said in a whisper yell as he sat down next to me. He just smiled at me and I blushed looking away my stomach tingling.
"To get an answer to my question of course," he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. I looked away from him trying to ignore his gaze. He sighed and scooted closer to me and he leaned in.
"Will you go out with me or not?" he whispered and I shivered at the feeling of his breathe on my cheek. I really didn't know what to say at this point. I half wanted to say no because he was a player and he went from girl to girl, and I was a hunter. Another half of me wanted to leap at the chance and say yes. I never really knew what love was like and I wanted to experience it.
"Why should I Apollo? Because after I fall in love and you lose interest you'll just leave me broken hearted! How long will it take? A week? Maybe two weeks if I'm lucky? Your a player and I don't want to end up broken hearted," I said furiously pushing myself off the ground and walking forward. Apollo jumped up and started walking right along side me.
"Thalia, listen to me," he said stopping in front of me and taking my hands in his. I blushed but I doubted he could see in the dark. There was definitely something special about him. He sighed and locked his eyes with mine. "When I saw you that day two years ago you took my breathe away. When Artemis scolded me not to flirt with you I was disappointed, and when I saw you come into the throne room with my little sister I was overjoyed to see you again. I know that I jump from girl to girl but I'm willing to take a chance with you, I swear on the Rive Styx. There's just something about you," he said stepping closer to me and squeezing my hands. I was lost in his eyes staring at him. I barely knew him but I felt like I had known him since I was a little kid. Oh gosh.
"But I'm a hunter," I whispered looking down at my feet. That was really the only thing holding me back right now. I heard him sigh and I looked back up at him. "I'll talk to Artemis. Meet me here in the woods tomorrow afternoon and I'll give you my answer," I said smiling and running back to camp.
Time to talk to Lady Artemis.

"Are you sure you really like him?" Artemis asked me surprisingly softly and caring. I nodded my head and she sighed.
"There's just... something about him," I said to her. She looked up at me and smiled.
"Well if you really like him... I can still let you be with my brother and be a hunter. After all you are the best hunter there is," she said smiling at me. I smiled and squealed hugging her hard. When she laughed I pulled away and thanked her. "Now go, he's waiting for you," she said winking as I rushed out of the tent. I started walking the path I had last night until I reached the edge of the woods. I looked up to see Apollo leaning on a tree unaware of me.
"Apollo!" I yelled happily. His head snapped up and he looked straight at me. I smiled at him and his face lit up. I ran towards him and straight into his open arms. He hugged me hard and I giggled. I pulled back from him and he took my hands in his.
"Your answer?" he asked hopefully.
"Yes! I will absolutely, most defiantly go out with you," I said laughing. He smiled and pulled me into yet another hug. I just sighed and burried my head in his chest. I soon pulled away and intertwined my finger with his. He pulled me into the woods where we talked the rest of the day away.
I swear nobody's smile could be brighter than mine right now, except the sun god's who was sitting here with his arm around me.
