-Nico-

I sat in my cabin with Percy and the Stoll brothers, Percy was hiding from Annabeth and Stoll brothers were hiding from the Ares cabin. When they came in and said they pranked the Ares cabin, I asked no questions.

"So Percy what'd you do to Annabeth?" Travis asked in a whisper.

"Soaked her with water, after I saw her face I ran." Percy whisper back.

"Smart. Prank the girl with the dagger and invisible cap. We're not even that stupid." Conner whispered.

"But she's my girlfriend, she wouldn't kill me." Percy whispered with fear on his face.

There was a knock on the door. I swear they all jumped and ran under my bed. I opened the door. Becky was standing there with an angry Clarisse and soaked Annabeth. I smiled a bit.

"Come in Becky." I said loudly.

Annabeth mouthed, is he here?

I nodded.

Percy and the Stoll brothers came out of hiding thinking they were in the clear. As Percy noticed Annabeth he ran out, past her and she took her dagger out with a look, I will kill him, and ran after him. The Stolls laughed and Clarisse went over to them. Becky gave me a look, let's get out of here. I nodded and we left.

"Let's see what will happen to Percy." Becky said.

She was sweet, smart, kind. I always wondered how she didn't have a boyfriend. What? No, I um don't have a crush on her!

"Yeah, I bet he's already dead." I said and walked with Becky.

We saw Percy running and Annabeth was about to put her invisible cap on. We sat down and watched as Percy ran faster.

"Annabeth! Don't kill me, I'm your boyfriend! Don't you love me?" He yelled.

I looked at Becky and we laughed. Percy ran and was tackled by Annabeth. She took her cap off and kissed him. We booed them, and walked off.

"So Nico, I wanted to talk to you." Becky said.

"About what?" I said.

"Well, you know what is tomorrow, and I was wondering if you were coming to my birthday party?"

"Of course."

"Thanks great, you, Ashley, and me chilling in your cabin. I don't want a big thing for my fourteenth birthday."

Oh, no, I thought, Ashley had planned a giant party for your fourteenth birthday. It was the only thing she had in common with her brothers and sisters. She couldn't stand them or her mother; I think she was doing something with her today. She came running up to us.

"OMG, today is going to be horrible. I convinced my mom to do my favorite thing." Ashley said.

I was honestly scared, what was her favorite thing?

"No! I doubt she'll like going to Daytona and watch cars. Did you tell her?" Becky said.

"I told her I wanted to go to Florida. I can't wait." Ashley said happily.

This was the first time she'd smiled seen Aphrodite had claimed her. Aphrodite appeared in a pair of jeans and a hot pink top. She looked so different then Ashley who had on ripped jean booty shorts, a navy blue V-neck t-shirt, a new York city paint splatter sweat shirt, and black converse, she was covered in ash from working with the Heptestus cabin.

"Come on mother, I said Florida, now to Daytona race track!" Ashley screamed.

Aphrodite looked in horror as they disappeared.
