# Little Nico #
It was Capture The Flag night, and Nico was on Jason's team, again. Jason had told Nico to lurk in the shadows around the flag, keeping guard of it, and Nico was bored. Was anyone going to try to take the flag? Nico sincerely hoped so, otherwise it would be an excruciatingly long game. Thankfully, someone was moving towards the flag, having not noticed Nico, and nearly had it. Nico jumped out at them, making them drop their items -were those orbs?- abd make a strangled cat noise. It was Lou Ellen, and though she had been caught, she was smiling manically. Nico only had a second to realise what she was smiling at, but it was a second too late.
Already, Nico had begun shrinking, first his hand then his foot. And after three seconds at most, nico was the same size as a toy smirf. Lou Ellen was giggling at the sight of him, hunched over at the sides, but somehow well enough to be able to look at Nico, who only sighed. He was furious, but he had also expected it to happen when Will befriended him.
Before Nico could think anymore, he was suddenly being picked up and lifted into the air by Lou Ellen. "Lou, I don't have a sense of balance like this, I will barf on you." Nico said, semi shouting just in case he couldn't be heard easily. "Sorry Nico. And eew, by the way. You're about as sharp as a rock." She flattened her hand with him on the surface, and even though she apologised, she didn't look very sorry. She looked as though she was tempted to do it again, so Nico tried to distract her by talking.
"Can you turn me back now? And if you aren't, are you taking me to the hecate cabin where you will there transform me back to my regular size?" Nico put emphasis on the words you will, just so she could get the point. But unfortunately, it didn't hit the mark.
"Nopity nope, my miniature friend! We are going to the camp fire! Becuase when you didn't notice I touched the flag and we one so that's where everyone will be!" Lou was still smiling, but she hadn't told Nico when he would change back, so he started getting worried.
"Lou, you will change me back, right?"
Nico semi shouted. But he knew the answer.
"Hey friend. So you know those apells that take a few day to wear off? This is a four day spell." She looked at him worriedly, but it evaporated when she saw a furious son of hades who was only a few centimetres tall and couldn't stand on her hand properly. She laughed a little, and tried to cover it with her other hand, but that was holding the flag and Nico had to duck. Nico grunted at her, knowing that what Lou Ellen was doing was only a fifth of what everyone else at camp half-blood would do. Lou Ellen and Nico got to the camp fire, and Nico saw that Lou was right. Most of everyone was there, watching the Apollo kids sing and eating smores.
"William!" Lou Ellen shouted, and was jumping. When Will looked over, Lou Ellen was bouncing toward him, literally, holding out her hand. some of the other Apollo kids looked at her warily, used to her antics. Lou Ellen dropped the flag, and used her hand to hide Nico. "William I have a gift for you!"
Will looked at Lou with a vague interest. "And what would that be Lou? Don't tell me you have a pig who is a person back at your cabin which you need me to fetch. That was disgusting the first time and..." he was cut off by Lou.
"No Will, I promise this one is cute. He will be a four day gift and I hope you give him good food and love. I think he's adorable and you'll love this one."

"Is it a kitten?" Will never got a reply as Lou Ellen put her hands in front of Will's face and revealed Nico di Angelo, sitting cross legged on Lou's hands.
