FOREVER.

IM SO SORRY.

Ugh. But, I finally got it here. Whoop! I'd like to Thank Asophagus once again for all the support. Also everyone else's support and trying to kick me into gear. To the guests who all reviewed, thank you. I'll try and update my other stories soon as well.

Still ridiculous, still ooc, hope you like it anyhow.

Enjoy

OoooOoooO

"No, I know the best place to go, Jackson! You aren't the only one who knows things about Manhattan!"

"And what do you know exactly, Grace? You gonna flash your pearly whites at a passerby, claim to be the son of Zeus and magically figure out how to navigate my city?"

There was a pause, "Well-"

"Mmhmm, I didn't think so."

"I May not know everything about the palace- it certainly isn't 'your' city- but I do know enough to find the best neighborhood for the most treats!" You could tell by the way his eye twitched violently that he was exceptionally agitated now.

A small smile crept up Percy's face, however, the anger of his opponent proved he was winning, and he knew it, "And how would that be Grace? You've either always been in the woods, or enclosed in a single 'military' camp your entire life." Percy taunted Jason by using the alias for the roman camp to rile the Son of Jupiter up more. Percy thought for a minute, completely ignoring Jason's indignant grunt and irritated arguments. Hm. How to prove he was right? How would Annabeth usually do it to him?

"Oh! I've got it!"Percy shouted over Jason's lousy protests trying to prove that he knew Percy's city better.

Jason pouted, finally shutting up for a moment," Got what?"

"How to prove you wrong of course!" Percy smile triumphantly, glad he'd actually had an idea. "Annabeth always says that the best way to learn is from experience." Percy explained as he tried his best to look smart. "And because Annabeth has also said multiple times that she's never wrong, she must be right! Therefore, I'll let you pick the first place to go trick or treating. When we're done with that place we'll count the amount of candy we got from it. And then we'll go to the place I say is the best. Whoever chose the place that has the most candy wins. "

Jason paused, contemplating the proposal. "I guess that makes sense. Sounds like you've got yourself a deal, Kelp klutz."

"Sure does, bird brain."

"…Bird brain?"

"Well… yeah. Because, you know… you fly?"

"But I don't have wings. It doesn't work like that." Jason deadpanned.

"Never mind."Percy face palmed, sighing with a grimace.

Suddenly Hazel raised her hand, hesitating, "If it's a bet, shouldn't there be a prize or something? For the winner?"

Percy abruptly remembered that the rest of their friends were all standing there waiting for the directions on where to go. Percy rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and laughed in the back of his throat, "Yeah, I-I guess you're right Hazel."

An evil grin quickly overtook Pipers beautiful face, and her multicolored eyes glinted devilishly off the road lamps sharp orange light.

"What is it Piper?" Jason asked nervously, clearly feeling the pure demonic humor rolling of the girl that rolled off in waves.

"I have a great idea on what the price of losing should be." She giggled- a sound that should be kind and a sign of peace and happiness- evilly,"Hehehe…"

"W-what?" Percy gulped.

"The loser has to…" She paused, biting her lip as if unsure of something.

"WHAT IS T ALREADY!?" Leo shouted, the anticipation finally getting to him.

"I don't know… this might be too risky." Piper shook her head, the look in her eyes never fading.

Frank sighed exasperatedly, "C'mon Piper! Just tell us already!

"Fine, fine! Since you want to know so badly, I say the loser has to…"

"…Give all his candy to the winner."

Frank gasped, and Hazel was forced to cover her mouth, fearful of the scream that might have escaped. "But-but, it's both their first time going trick or treating ever! That would be so cruel!" Hazel exclaimed behind her caramel hands. Frank just nodded, speechless.

Leo burst out laughing hysterically and pipers demonic smile still hadn't left her face yet.

Leo pointed at Percy and Jason, doubled over laughing and barley able to breathe, let alone speak coherently said, "This... Is gonna be... GREAT! Bwahaha!"

In the background, behind the shadows of the occupied Teens of Olympus arose a dark and moody entity… that really had to pee.

"Hey, uh, guys?" Nico said hesitantly.

Frank turned; changing his attention from the fight going on about if Percy and Jason should really do it, and answered, "Yeah Nico?"

"Do you know where the bathroom is?"

"I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE LOOK ON THE LOSERS FACE!"

Ignoring the shout of absolute spoofed outlook on the somewhat dire situation of a candy winner from Leo, Frank replied, "I have no idea, sorry. Maybe you should ask Annabeth." Pointing at the small beam of light coming from a couple meters away.

The literal bear man focused his attention back to his shouting companions while Nico slunk away to where the occupied Daughter of Athena was holed up.

While on his short travel he unconsciously hid in the shadows, his entire bottom of his body totally invisible to a human or even demi-god eye. He always got nervous around Annabeth. He didn't know exactly why, but something about her screamed dislike towards him. He knew all too well to stay away from people like that. He knew before the Giant war, almost nobody liked him, and he is almost absolutely sure some particularly nasty Half-bloods still resent him for a few…select things done in the past.

But they didn't scare him. He could take them down without even looking at them. But Annabeth? He knew that something about her would always trump whatever cards he had up his sleeve. That made him uneasy, and he resented every moment of being alone together with her. Despite no ill will towards him ever necessarily coming from her.

He stopped right behind her, now seeing that the stream of light coming from her hand as a small flash light.

Peering over her shoulder, he read the first couple of lines from the book she had in her tan hands, "The study of ancient civilizations and people raises some profound questions. Who are humans? Where did we come from? Where are we going?"

"What are you reading?"

An ivory sword quickly found its way to Nico's exposed throat. A gasp ripped its way from him as Annabeth's eyes widened in shock.

"Nico?! What are you doing?" She quickly lowered her weapon and placed a hand over her chest, "You nearly scared me half to death!"

Annabeth muttered something under her breath and Nico could swear he heard her say 'He'd probably like that.' Gritting his teeth, he replied sarcastically with, "Boo."

Annabeth rolled her eyes, noticing his hostility and mentally storing it close to the surface, "What do you need Nico? You're here for a reason, aren't you?"

"Yeah," He huffed, crossing his arms and having to shift them due to the uncomfortable and ridiculous foam muscles of his gods' Dang Batman suit. "Do you know where the bathroom is?"

"Why didn't you just use the bathroom when you were changing earlier?" As quick as ever Annabeth retaliated, her logic sharp as a knife.

Nico mentally growled, but kept his poker face on as strong as ever, "I didn't have to go then. I have to go now. So do you know where the bathroom is?" He couldn't help the mental growl from escaping a bit into his words.

Annabeth pushed back her over curled pale golden hair over her shoulder, showing a small smirk, " There isn't one until a couple blocks from here at a 'Gas 'n Go'. You'll have to wait until they quit bickering over there and we start moving again." This'll be interesting, Annabeth thought giddily.

Suddenly Nico's bladder decided that waiting wasn't an option and that he has to go now or he was gonna go now and here.

Trying desperately not to "Go now and here", even going so far as to chant in his head 'I will not pee myself. I will not pee myself. I will not pee myself…', he hurriedly walked back to the main group, where the idiots were still fighting over whether or not to go through with it, not to mention Leo's unhelpful shouting, and whispered quietly to the shadows surrounding him.

Suddenly the eerie light from the street lamp was snuffed out by pure darkness and malice. Screams were sent out into the night as a voice whispered. It seemed to be all around them, surrounding their very existence with the smell of death.

The entity breathed into their ears, 'We will all travel to the Gas 'n Go. Perseus and Jason will enter into a contest of candy, the loser giving his treats willingly to the champion. The fighting shall cease forevermore…'

They nodded their heads frantically, just wanting the voice to go away. They'd do anything!

Before they could even process it, the shadows were gone, and the bitter sweet stench of death had gone with it. Still in slight shock, a scream ripped through them once again as the light popped loudly back to life above their heads.

Then the screaming didn't stop. Piper covered her ears, "Who's doing that!?"

"It's not me!" Hazel shouted back, worry peeking through her shock at the events. All that fighting and arguing and now this? What is going on?

The girls turned to find Jason, Frank and Percy staring down at the curled up ball of a Leo, screaming his heart out on the concrete sidewalk.

Piper stepped forward and pushed through between Jason and frank. She crouched down next to Leo and grimaced, the loud screeching emitting from his mouth unpleasant to say the least. Sloping forward, she reached out her hand and…

…Flicked him in the forehead.

"Ow!" Leo shot up and grabbed his brow, "What'd you do that for!?"

"Would you shut up already!? You were screaming like a freaking banshee!" Piper scolded him, waving her arms around for emphasis.

A red hot blush covered Leo's entire face before you could even say 'Quidditch.' (( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))

Abruptly standing up, backing piper to fall back on her butt in the process, he dusted himself off.

"Well then! We'd better getter get going, huh?"

"LEO! I'M GOING TO MURDER YOU!"

"Uh-oh." Swiveling around, Leo bolted ahead towards the pickup place where Percy's mom was driving them back to the city.

Cupping his hands around his mouth in a tell-tale sign of loudness, Percy informed the fleeing soon-to-be-dead-man, "Wrong way, dude!"

Awkwardly running back around in a round-about shape, Leo backtracked. By now Piper was up on her feet again. She slapped her fists together, cracking them in a series of loud pops, "You're so dead, Leo" She growled.

Percy, Frank, and Jason had an amazing couple of minutes watching Pocahontas chase around a giant banana.

Nico still really had to pee.
