Hey guys (and girls, why do people say that? They're like, 'Hey guys!' but there are girls too! Getting off topic...), this is another story that I have created. Well, I didn't create it, ' 39 Clues and PJO fanatic' did and I just adopted it. You can check it out too! All I did was take her characters, :P and general idea.

Yes, the 'Watching Percy Jackson' will continue, it just takes a REALLY long time to do. The recent one (Chapter 4, I think?) took a good hour and a half to write :P

So, here's another story and hopefully I won't abandon it... O.O

P.S. I don't own PJO XD


My flaming hair fell as my hands gripped the strong, sprouted grass and pushed me up. I released, after getting to full height My hazel eyes looked up to see where I would land. I landed gracefully on the grass and for extra; I did a final pose with my hand in the air with one foot in front of the other. I heard a slow clapping from behind me, like when you would hear when someone's not that impressed. I looked behind me to find my best friend standing with her arms crossed.

"Practicing your backflips again aren't you?" Asked my friend, "Are you still using your powers?"

"Maybe," I shrugged, brushing off some of the grass on my shirt form fail attempts before, "What brings you here?" She walked towards me, her red, curly – shoulder length hair bouncing. She looked at me with her piercing green eyes. A shiver ran down my back. I don't know what it is with her eyes, but I'm always scared of them.

"It's time for sword-training," She said, flicking her head towards the arena. She started walking in that direction, leaving me to catch up. I followed, doing multiple cartwheels to the arena. After a while, I got tired of the cartwheels and a bit dizzy. I've gotten better with the cartwheels though, not using the grass to help me and I even did a couple of back flips too. Sorry, the ADHD is acting up!

We arrived at the arena to find a pale boy fighting a practice dummy. He lunged, beads of sweat falling from his black, matted hair. His clothes clanged to him with sweat. With one fatal swipe of his stygian iron sword, the dummy's head hit the floor.

I slowly clapped, "Well done, Nico! I could have done that in," I looked at my wrist, where there was no watch, "five seconds flat."

He sheathed his sword and wiped the sweat off his face, "Really?"

"Pfft, yeah! And I could win in a duel against you so quickly, you couldn't even take out your sword!" I continued to brag. I knew he was going to reach for his sword. My eyes flickered toward the ground, but Nico didn't seem to notice. I watched carefully as the plants grew from the ground.

"Really? You?" he questioned and reached for his sword. I made a clutching gesture with my hand and the plants grab his wrists and then more wrapped around his legs. He struggled and I took out my sword and held the tip to his throat.

"Yeah, I think I win," I said. He grinned as a cloud past over the sun and then disappeared into the shadows. I hated when he did that. My friend was standing off to the side, admiring our fight.

Next thing I know, Nico has his sword around my throat.

"Any last words?" he asked. I grinned evilly, reaching for my sword, but he never got it.

"I win!" I shouted, jabbing him in the ribs, leaving him momentarily stunned. Roots sprung from the ground beneath my feet and I twirled in the air and back flipped over Nico. While in the air, I tried to swing down and hit Nico, but he was recovered and saw my attack. He swung his sword above his head and caused my landing to be off. I felled to the ground and rolled off. My sword clattered far from me.

"Ow ow ow ow! My ankle! I think I sprained it!" I cried, clutching my ankle. Nico sheathed his sword and ran over to me. I hid my face so Nico couldn't see my smile.

"Are you ok? I'm so sorry!" He apologized. I saw the concerned looked on my friend's face, but when Nico wasn't looking, I winked to her. She smiled.

When Nico came over, he leaned over me. I took the spare knife in my shoe and, not wanting to be too evil, formed small cuts on his front legs. While he was clutching his legs, I grabbed his sword from his belt and pointed it at his back. Nico was a great fighter, but got so distracted.

"Argh! No fair!" Plus, he acts like a child way too much.

"Oh, come on! I used that same trick on you last week!" I exclaimed. I handed back his sword, smiling.

"Whatever," he grumbled and for good measures, swung his sword around and cut my arm.

"Ow!" I exclaimed and clutched my arm, it was nothing deep, but it was annoying how Nico did that.

"Are you sure it hurts?" he asked sarcastically. I punched him with my good arm

"Hey!" he punched me too, "Hey!" I exclaimed and we started hitting each other.

"Enough!" my friend yelled. I had Nico pinned to the ground on his belly.

"What? I almost had her! You're such a buzz-kill, Rose," Nico said.

"Pfft, yeah right!" I said, getting off of Nico. He extended his arm for me to help him up. I was stupid and grabbed it.

He pulled me to the ground and I landed with a large thump! On the ground with the wind knocked out of me. Nico pushed my arms down as I tried to get back up. He was laughing and I was too, after I got the wind back. I looked over to Rose and she was staring at us in astonishment. That's when I realized the awkward position we were in.

Nico pinned my arms to the side of my body and his legs were on top of mine. Nico seemed to realize the situation too because his smile faded. I stilled smiled, but lightly. I looked up into his black eyes and waited for something to happen. I didn't know what to expect, but I liked being with Nico and I didn't want to move. Rose cleared her throat and Nico got off of me.

To lighten the situation, I said, "Finally!" and rubbed my wrists. I pushed my red- green-tipped hair back like the fight was nothing.

"Ha-ha! So funny!" Nico said sarcastically and punched me.

"Whatever!" I exclaimed, throwing my hands in the air. Rose giggled.

"What?" I asked. We walked out of the arena. Nico gave Rose a suspicious look.

"Nothing," she replied, but continued to giggle. I rolled my eyes, I could see that Nico did the same.

"I'll beat you tomorrow!" I called to Nico as he walked to the Hades cabin.

"Sure you will!" he called back and ran to his cabin. Rose continued to giggle.

"OK, spill! Why are you giggling?" I asked.

"Oh, Fern, you need to open your eyes! Look at Nico!" She said. I looked towards Nico.

"Alright," I squinted my eyes towards the Hades cabin, "All I see is an ass-beaten death friend, what else is new?" I asked

"Oh my gods Fern! Look at him from a different perspective. Not as a friend," she said.

"Alright," I turned towards him again, "I see a an ass-beaten death boy, anything I missed?"

"Ugh! Fern! You obviously like him and he obviously likes you! What else is this obvious?" she said.

"That you said 'obvious' way more than you should have," I replied. I couldn't believe what she was saying! Nico and me? When is that ever going to happen? I guess he's kind of cute, but, no way! We are complete opposites. I am life and he's death!

"Oh my gods! Fern! It's way too obvious that you guys were made for each other! Seriously!"

"Me and Death boy? No thanks," I said and went into our cabin, "It just can't happen."

"Ugh, Fern. You're soooo thick!" Rose said and crawled to bed. I threw a pillow at her.

"Whatever!" I replied and went to sleep. That night I had the weirdest dream.

Nico and I were together in a house and we were much older, maybe in our late 30s. I was walking up some stairs and picked up, a baby? The baby was crying and I lifted her closer. I cradled her in my arms and cooed. She resembled me strangely enough. She had my red hair, but Nico's black eyes.

"It's ok, everything's fine," I cooed and she started to settle down and fall asleep.

"How's she doing?" Nico asked from behind me.

"Great," I responded and put her back in the crib. We walked out of the green-painted room with vines and plants growing everywhere. I slowly and quietly closed the door.

"I just put her down for a nap. She's so hyper!" I whispered. We started walking down the stairs and into the kitchen. I glanced at the time: 3:00am. I sighed and poured some coffee.

"She gets it from the ADHD we have," Nico explained, taking some coffee as well.

"I never knew raising a child would be this difficult," I said, taking a sip of coffee. My hair was all frizzy and Nico's eyes had bags below them. Taking care of this baby was a lot more difficult than we thought it was going to be. Nico walked over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. He put his chin on my shoulder and started to rock us side to side.

"Don't worry, sooner or later, she'll calm down, when she's older," he said. I looked into his dark eyes.

"I know," I said and kissed him. We were interrupted by the sound of a crash and a baby crying. Nico and I were sprinting towards the baby's room. I feared for the worst. Nico got there first and stopped dead in his tracks at the entrance of the room.

"Sweetie…" he started, turning around slowly to face him. I pushed past him and started to cry. My baby was gone, the window was broken, but no blood. I was slightly relieved about that, but I still held onto Nico.

I pulled away after a while and had determination set in my eyes.

"I will kill whoever had the guts to do this. They will live to regret what they thought they could get away with," I said with pure hatred. The sound of something clattering interrupted my threat. I rushed to the window to just see a pair of piercing green eyes stare back at me in the night who dashed away, carrying the eerie sound of a high-pitched screech.

"Fern wake up!" I heard a voice.

"No! Give my baby back!" I screamed and pushed whoever was on me off and pushed them to the ground.

"Hey!" I heard a scream, "Open your eyes, Fern!" I obeyed and saw everyone in the Demeter cabin look at me.

"Sorry," I said, getting off of Rose, "bad dream." I extended my hand and she took it.

"No biggie. We all have bad nightmares," she said, dusting herself off.

"Yeah, no biggie," I said trying to convince myself. For some reason I couldn't shake this feeling of this dream. It was only a dream. Right?
