I don't know why I'm doing this... never done this before, so tell me how I did!:) Enjoy!

Nico sat in his cabin. He ran his hand over his face. All he wanted was a happy meal. Was it really that hard?! It was just a happy meal...

Nico didn't understand why something as simple as going out to eat at McDonalds with Will could turn into something so catastrophic. All he wanted was a happy meal. Why did everything have to be so complicated? He groaned as he flopped on his bed, remembering what took place earlier that day...

Flashback

"Nicoooo. Come on!" Will was yanking Nico's arm, attempting to pull him up. It wasn't working. Like, at all. Nico sat crisscrossed on the bed with the book in his hand.

Will was trying to get Nico to leave his cabin, and go explore a little. Nico had been cooped up in his cabin for almost a week now. Around this time every year, the campers let him be, but Will was being...Will. Of course, Will hated seeing Nico so quiet, depressed, so he tried his best to get Nico out.

"Nico! Come on! You need some sunshinnneeee!" Will sung.

"No. Leave me alone Will." Nico grumbled. It was hard to flip the pages with one hand holding the book, and the other being yanked out of its socket.

"Nico, I know you don't like to be out, and you'd rather sulk in you room, but please? For me? Just a little bit of fresh air." Nico shook his head.

"For Bianca then?" Will whispered. He knew he shouldn't be talking about it, after all, that was why Nico was sulking in his cabin, but, he needed Nico out. He was still recovering from the war, even though it had almost been a full year. It wasn't good for Nico to stay in his cabin all day, and not eat. Nico stopped flipping the page, and sat there.

It seemed like hours before he spoke again. He cleared his throat.

"W-where would we go?" Will inwardly sighed, and loosened his grip on Nico's wrist.

"Out. I got permission from Chiron to take you outside of camp's borders. Just for a couple of hours though."

"I don't know. It's not exactly safe, and like you said, I haven't fully hea-"

"Oh! You'll be fine! It's just a couple of hours! You hungry?" Nico sat there for a few moments before speaking again.

"Maybe a little bit, but I still don't know about leaving camp bord-"

"Oh come on! It'll be fun! Hey I know what! We can go to McDonalds! We can get you a happy meal..." Will grinned. Nico groaned.

"Why did you have to say happy meal?" Will just smirked. He let go of Nico's arm, and started towards the door.

"You have five minutes to meet me at the top of Half Blood Hill. I'm telling Chiron we're leaving." Nico rolled his eyes and set his book down. He sighed, and got off the bed.

"Whatever..." He grumbled, and followed Will out the door.

The sun had momentarily blinded Nico as he stepped outside his cabin for the first time in what seemed like five thousand years.

"Ah! The sun!" Nico blocked the sun with his hand, still squinting, he turned to Will.

"You could've warned me!" He smacked a laughing Will in the back of the head.

"Ha! Your face!"

"Shut up..." Nico rolled his eyes once again, which felt weird doing behind his hand, and turned towards Half Blood Hill.

Will arrived a couple minutes later, and by that time, Nico had gotten used to the sun, and was now just slightly squinting. Will walked over, and handed Nico a pair of black shades.

"Here. I got these from Chiron."

"Thanks." Nico gladly took them, and put the on.

"So. You ready? We can walk. It's not too far, and maybe. Just MAYBE I'll let you shadow travel. Just maybe." Nico grinned, and let out a whoop.

The arrived at McDonalds about twenty minutes later. Nico smiled as he was greeted with the smell of warm crispy fries. He and Will went to go stand in line.

As Nico looked towards the line in front of them (which was actually quite long), he noticed a girl about five or six. Her father held her as she held her doll, and her mother stood next to the both of them. There was something only familiar about the girl, but he didn't know what. He couldn't see much though, because the girl was turned sideways, facing more towards the front. She seemed to be playing with the doll, and telling her father something.

"All my friends hit da monsters with their swords, and den guess what daddy? I shoot da arrow, and da monster went poof!" She made an arm motion.

"Really sweetie? And what happened after that?"

"Well, den I saw my wittle baby brover, and he ask me to play games with him." My eyes widened, and I gripped Will's arm. He looked at me, and raised an eyebrow.

"What's wrong? Do you see a monster?" he whispered looking around. I shook my head, and pointed to the family in front,

"I-i just overheard the conversation the girl was having with her dad. I-i think she was telling them about a dream she had, but i-it seemed so much like something a demigod child would say." I looked back at the family.

"How many times have I told you Brianna? You don't have a younger brother." the girls mother said sweetly. The girl pouted and crossed her arms.

"Yes I do! He's really cool, and his names Nico!" Will gasped a little, as I stood frozen and still. The girl turned around, and I knew it was her.

The girls eyes lit up, and she smiled at me. She poked her dad in the shoulder, and pointed at me.

"Daddy! Look! It's Nico! Nico! Hello!" She waved and smiled at me. I couldn't do anything but stare. Beside me, Will was trying to shake me. Customers were starring, and the parents were looking at me.

"Nico... Nico. Nico!" He finally called out. The parents narrowed their eyes, but Brianna just smiled.

"Is this some kid of joke? What do you thin you're doing?" The must not have believed my name was Nico.

"I'm sorry m'am. His name really is Nico though. What a coincidence! Um, I'm sorry to disrupt you, and this might sound strange, but would you mind letting your daughter come closer to Nico?" The parents looked like I was about to take there child, and run away with her.

"What?! No! Are you crazy?! Who asks a question like that?!" Will didn't look happy, and I felt bad, because the only thing I could do was just stare, frozen, and looking at 'Brianna'.

"Um, you see, it's a really long story, but is there anyway you'd let your daughter speak with Nico? You can hold her if you want sir. Please? Just two minutes. I'll pay for you lunch, and everything." The parents looked at each other. Brianna continued to say 'I told you so! That's Nico!' to her parents, and finally her parents stepped out of their place in line, and came closer to us.

"Okay, but if you try anything boy, I will hurt you." I gulped, and nodded. The father stepped closer with Brianna. I got a good look at her, and knew it was her. It was truly her. She was happy, and I smiled at that.

"Hey Bianc- I mean Brianna." I waved. She smiled, and crossed her arms.

"You call me Bianca, Nico!" Beside me Will smiled.

"Okay. Hi Bianca. How are you?" her parents were shocked at the way Brianna/Bianca reacted.

"Great! How is da camp Hat...I don't remember da rest." I chuckled a bit.

"Good. Do you have nightmares Bianca?" She nodded.

"Sometimes. But, dats okay. I get to see you lots in my dreams. We fight monters togeder." I smiled.

"Really? That's cool. You might have to visit Camp sometime Bianca. You can see all your friends again." I whispered. She laughed.

"Yay! I get see Tala, and Robert, and Annie, and Peter..." I assumed she meant Thalia, Grover, Annabeth, and Percy. I smiled a bit. He parents just started at the interaction we had.

"Well, you know what Bianca? Maybe one day, you could ask you parents if they would like to take you to camp. I can give them the address, and you can come visit whenever you want. Okay?" She nodded and clapped her hands.

"Yay! Okay! You still like happy meals, Nico?'" I winked.

"You know it. It was good to see you Bianca." I smiled, and watched as Will went up to order.

"Ya! Nico? You still shoot monters? Did we win the big battle?" I nodded.

"Yes. We won. I don't shoot though. I use a sword." I laughed, and pretended to be joking. Her parents were listening after all.

"Cool!" Will came back with two happy meals. He handed one to Bianca and one to me.

"Well, how about I give your parents the phone number and address of camp, and you can come by anytime you want?" she nodded excitedly. I scribbled down the information and handed it to her mother, who was still in shock at what just happened. I smiled, and thanked her. She glared, (I don't know why) and snatched the paper up. I sighed and waved goodbye to Bianca as I made my way out the door.

I sighed, and turned around to see the mother tearing the paper to shreds, and then throwing it into the trash. I knew that would happen, but I didn't really care anyways. Seeing Bianca once, and knowing she was okay was enough for me. I could live without knowing what she would grow up to be like. You never know. The Fates may have plans.

With one final look at the family, me and Will made our way back up the trail to the camp, while I ate my fries.

end of flashback

I sat up, on the bed. Will had left me alone for a bit, knowing I would need some time to process everything that just happened. I grabbed the book I had been reading, and starred at it. It had been Bianca's favorite book.

I flipped to the page I had left off of, and began to read.

So...Whatcha think? I know it doesn't make sense that Bianca's parents would just let a convo happen like that, or even let a stranger talk to their daughter, but it was the only way I could think of. I hope this wasn't to terrible. Don't forget to favorite, review, and check out my other stories!:D
