Author's Note: I get that all of this won't have happened when Magnus Chase and The Gods of Asgard comes out, with Magnus being related to Annabeth, we will probably hear about our friends at camps Jupiter and Half-Blood.

Chapter One

Nico kept walking. He could almost feel Annabeth's joy and Percy's confusion as he gained distance. He felt good. Really good. Better that had for at least four years. He walked up to Will. "Okay. Let's go." he chirruped. Wow. He thought. I don't chirrup. Since when do I chirrup?

The two strolled towards the infirmary. "So, what was that?" Will questioned, "I couldn't hear much, then Annabeth kind of, exploded into a puddle of happiness."

"Just something I had to say. I meant to for a while. Now seemed like a good time."

"And what would that be?" How to put this…

"There is no way to say this without sounding blunt."

"Fine, be blunt."

"I'm gay."

There was a pause for a few nano-seconds. In that that time, a several things happened. Nico got happier. He didn't even know it was still possible to be this happy. Will straightened up to his full height. He then realized that made him a good few inches taller than Nico, despite them being roughly the same age. To compensate for this, he turned and lowered his head slightly. He then queried "Why did that make Annabeth so happy." Nico shrugged. "I really don't know." Will looked up vaguely, nodded, and replied with "Okay."

They reached the infirmary. The inside smelled like gauze and ambrosia. Will grabbed Nico by the shoulders, sidestepped, and pushed him down into a chair. He got out a cutting board and placed it on Nico's lap, along with some jars of jelly, a loaf of bread, and a butter knife. Nico looked mildly confused. Will stared him down and said "Go on, make sandwiches. It's nearly lunch, and sick people need to eat to." Nico did as he was told.

Several hours later, the pair emerged from the Big House. They saw the kids from 9 building some sort of shed thing near the arena and the cabins. "Which god is taking up more of our space now?" Will questioned. One of the Hephaestus kids looked up. He seemed mournful. "No one. It's going to be and sort of, memorial. For Leo. We're going to, hang his picture, some of his sketches for the Argo II, and a big piece of paper for people to wright their acknowledgements and stuff on." He started chocking up, and went back to his work. Nico's good mood subsided. He glanced around, and saw the rest of those who had been on the Argo II pausing to look at it. Without a word, the eight of them turned, and walked down to the beach.

Nico was really regretting being a son of Hades, for more than the usual reasons. If he hadn't felt Leo's death, they would at least have hope. Will checked his watch. "Oh, umm, I still have my archery class to teach. See ya' round?" Nico nodded, "Sure." The remaining seven sat down by a sand dune. Nico fished out a pack of cards from his pocket, intending to play solitaire. He looked at what he had in his hand. Oh crap. Oh crap. Oh crap. How the Hades did these get here? I don't even own these anymore! I thought I burnt them all! He quickly shove the Mythomagic cards back in his pocket. Suddenly, he heard a high-pitched wailing sound coming from the sky. The others heard it as well, for one by one, they all looked up.

There seemed to be a meteor heading straight for the beach. It crashed down about half a mile down shore. The ground shook. Everyone exchanged glances, and ran towards it. Nico got there first. Oh my gods. He stared. The others arrived at pretty much the same time. A geyser shot up out of the bay. Jason's hair stood on end with electric current. Hazel was instantly standing ankle deep in jewels. Frank turned into an alpaca. Besides the geyser, Percy still looked ready to faint.

Lying in the sand, was Fetus, a very pretty girl, and Leo Valdez.
