Nico will never know how Percy convinced him to do this. This was probably the stupidest thing he's ever done, and he once called Persephone a brat (which did not end well). He thought back to the argument:
"No, I'm not doing that. It's stupid and dangerous."
"Dangerous? Dude, we fight monsters and you work in Hell-"
"The Underworld."
"It's not any more dangerous than those things! Actually, it's perfectly safe! Just try it, you saw me do it, it didn't look hard, right?"
"I'm not doing it."
"Nobody else is here. It'll be fun!"
Then he gave Nico those stupid puppy dog eyes and now Nico's standing on top of a stupid concrete ramp with a stupid skateboard under his feet and he's going to fall and break his stupid neck. "Go, Nico!" Percy chanted at the bottom of the ramp. "Please shut up." He yelled back, "I'm going to die."
"You're not going to die."
"I'm going to die."
"Nico, you're not going to die. Just do it."
"No."
"Do it."
"No."
"Do it!"
"No!"
"Do it now, Nico!"
"No!" He lost his balance, leaning forward. But instead of skating down like Percy wanted, he flew off. He flailed as he glided through the air. Then Bam! his body hit the ground. He let out a groan as the skateboard rolled down to meet him. "Oh gods, Nico." He heard Percy mutter, before the jerk started laughing.
"Shut up, Jackson."
"Sorry, it's just. Oh gods, your face."
"Stop laughing."
"I'm not laughing."
"Yes you are."
"Are not."
"Are too."
"Are not."
"Are too."
"Are not."
"Just help me up."
This is my first attempt at humor, so sorry that it kind of sucks. Reviews would be great!
