Ch 2

Nico POV

"Tell us everything that happened! Who are you going on a date with tomorrow! I bet I can guess!" Jason said wiggling his eyebrows.

"Jason! Let me go now!" Nico was currently sitting on the ground, tied to a giant Zeus status in the middle of the room. Hazel and Jason were looking down at him, excitement in there eyes.

"Not until you tell us everything! And I know your not allowed to use your powers right now so there is no escaping for you! And if you try, I'll drop a big bloke of schist on you!"

"Gods Hazel, your more violent than Nico sometimes... Also, what is schist?"

Hazel smiled, "it's a inside joke, Jason."

"Great. You turned my sister into a psycho path like you. And I thought you swore to never tell anybody!" Nico growled up at Jason.

Jason put his hands up in a surrendering position. "I didn't! She came to me with suspensions about you and a certain someone..." He smirked because thought Nico's angry face, a blush started to show.

'Why do I keep blush so much!' "Whatever. Just let me go!"

"No way! We need to know everything you do on your first date every! I know that we haven't known each other long." Jason kneeled down, puts a hand on Nico's shoulder, and looks into his eyes. "But I think of you as my little brother."

Hazel stared at the touching scene in front of her. "Awwww... Isn't this cute! I need to get a picture of this for the Nico scrap book!" Jason stood up super fast. "HAZEL YOU WERN'T SUPOSE TO MENTION THE BOOK!" Nico started to kick his legs around trying to escape again. "YOU GUYS HAVE A BOOK ABOUT ME! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO!"

Hazel looked at her feet, looking ashamed. "It wasn't just us... Frank, Piper, Percy, and Annabeth were in on it to." She suddenly perked up, "You should see the picks of you in the hospital! We have some of you sleeping and some with you and your crush-" "I DON'T HAVE A CRUSH ON ANYONE!" "And some of you eating!" Hazel ran over to a desk and pressed a button. A book slid out from within the desk. She ran back over to Nico.

"This one is my absolute favorite! See! It's you sleeping and Will is holding your hand! How cute is that!"

"Hazel..." "Yes Jason?" "DO YOU RELIZE WHAT YOU'VE JUST DONE! NOW HE KNOWS!"

Hazel looked shocked. She was to excited and gave a way the books position, also the fact that the book even existed. "Ccccccccrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuudddddd..."

Just then Piper bust through the door. "GUYS YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHAT I JUST GOT A PICTURE OF! IT IS THE BEST PICTURE YET! I CAN'T BELI- what is Nico doing here?"

Jason ran up and hugged his girlfriend and spun her around. "The best thing in the world Is happening! Nico is going on a date with Will!" He looked at Nico questionable. "It is Will right?" "... I... Ummmm... Ssjkfi... ITS NOT A DATE!..."

"See! Isn't this amazing!"

"This explains that position you were in with Will. Now doesn't it..." Piper gave him a knowing smile. 'Oh no...no no no no...please if any god cares about me. Please don't let that be a picture of us-'

"WILL ALMOST KISSED NICO AND I GOT LIKE 28 PICTURES!"

'Fucking gods!'

Piper pulled out all the pics and laid them on the floor. Jason and Hazel squealed with happiness over them. At the same time they said "PIPER TELL US EVERYTHING YOU SAW!"

Piper started her story. "Okay so I was coming over here to add this picture I got to the scrape book" she pulled out a pic of Nico and Will standing by each other early today when he asked him to go on, what he thinks is, a date.

"Then I saw Nico running after Hazel. Nico then stopped and started to shadow travel after her-" "NICO! WILL SAID NOT TO!" "-but Will came out of nowhere and grabbed his wrist and pulled him out of the shadows. Then Will push Nico in Hera's cabin wall, might I add that their position was very compromising... Anyway after Will yelled at Nico, they stared into each other's eyes! It was so romantic! Then Nico ruined it by squirming around and trying to get away from Will, but I think that just made Will turned on, because he made Nico look at him again and he started to lean in to kiss him! But then some IDIOT startled them by yelling! Will would have kissed Nico!"

Jason and Hazel looked down at their feet and both of them said "WE'RE VERY SORRY!"

"You two were the idiots!"

"So sorry..."

"Humm. More importantly. Nico... How are you doing?..." Piper had a creepy smile on her face. "Well, I'm tied to a statue. Which I hoped to never be every again. And I have been kidnapped. Again. How do think I'm doing."

"The question was rhetorical. You are doing great because you have a date and Will was going to kiss you! *gasp*! What are you going to wear!"

"I don't know. What I usually wear, I guess? I'm not a girl so I don't think about it as much!" But the truth was that Nico was wondering the same thing earlier and was going to ask Piper later.

"Well we have to find you something better! Lieutenant Hazel how much time to do we have until Nico has his date!"

Hazel stood up straight and saluted to Piper. "We have exactly 6 hours and 12 minutes sir!"

Piper started to walk back in forth in a line. "Co-captain Jason! How much money do we have as a whole! And do you think we could get to New York and back here before time is up!"

Jason stood up straight this time and saluted right next to Hazel "Definitely! I will arrange the fastest mode of transportation we have! And for the money we have $57 because we recently took money out of the fund for a new camera!" Jason put down his salut.

Piper, still walking, bent her head to look at the ground to think about what to do. "No. That won't be enough. Hazel!" Hazel stood up even straighter and stopped saluting like Jason. "Yes sir!" "Go do a quick fundraiser to gain more money! You could sell some of your diamond or something." "I would sir! But they kill people sir!" "Oh yeah... Then... Ooh! Make copies of these photos and sell them! The biggest shippers at camp are the Aphrodite cabin, so target them specifically. After that go to Apollo, then Athena. And if you can get the huntress involved!"

Nico was watching this all happen and didn't comment on anything. But this was the last straw! "YOU GUYS TOLD EVERYONE! EVEN THE HUNTRESSES! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!" He started to frail around and yelled other things like 'why are you doing this', 'you all are assholes who betrayed my trust', and 'I should have killed you when I had the chance'.

Nobody payed attention to poor Nico...

"Okay sir! Should I ask for help from someone! Annabeth would help sir!"

"Yes that is fine. And also there is always Lou Ellen. Do you best!"

Both Jason and Hazel saluted one last time "Sir yes sir!" Then they ran away to do their jobs.

Piper turn to Nico. "And as for you... I could let you go...-" "Yes finally!" "Buuuttt... I won't." "Why am I not suppressed."

Nico stared up at Piper. He was mad that everyone knew. But he's was sad that they betrayed his trust and gave away his secret. "Why does everyone know! Why would you guys be so mean to tell them?... I thought... I thought we were friends..."

The scene broke Pipers heart. She sat down in front of Nico. "We are your friends. That's why we do all this! We want you to be happy. You deserve it so much... You have been thought so much alone that no one could have gone through by themselves. And you don't need to be alone." Nico looked up at Piper. He felt great full to have people like this in his life now. People that cared about him.

To lighten the mode Piper added, "Also you and Will would be the cutest thing every! I ship you so had that it's not even a ship any more! It is now a fact of life!"

Nico groaned. "Fine. Whatever. I have just one more question."

"What is it?"

"Why and how to the huntress know?"

"Uuuummmm... So when you were in the hospital for three days they came to visit. Thalia was wondering about you so we brought her to the hospital. When we got there you were asleep. So we asked Will how you were doing. When he told us, he said it with so much care and he would glance at you sleeping and smile! It was so adorable! Then we pretended to leave, but instead we hide and watched you guys! That was when he held you hand! Then Thalia was like 'I ship this so hard.' And then it spread around the huntress!"

Nico's face was on fire after the story. "And now to get money you sell pictures of me and Will?"

"Yes"

"But isn't that kind of like po-" Nico's words were interrupted by a hand over his mouth.

"Ssshh ssshhh ssshhh... Noooooo... It's nothing like that..."

"Was that sarcasm?" Nico tried to say but it came out like "muuuu fath sscccammm"

Piper removed her hand "What was that?" Before Nico could answer, Frank ran into the cabin. He had tears in his eyes. Some threatened to spill. His face was full of relief and happiness. He looked at them both.

"Leo's back."

Piper stared at him in shock and after a awhile she started to cry. "Frank are you kidding? Leo... Leo is back?..."

Frank only nodded.

Piper cried some more "I have to go see him!"

Piper, with the help of Frank, cut Nico lose so he could go with them to see if what Frank said was true.

They ran off toward the middle of the cabins. There was a giant golden dragon in the middle surrounded by all of the campers. Some had shocked faces, or we really happy. Most of them were crying though.

In the center of it all was Percy, Annabeth, Hazel, and Jason all of them had tears in their eyes. They were hugging some one but they were buried underneath four people so it was hard to see.

Once the three got near the center they heard him talking. Piper screamed "Leooo!" And she pushed some people beside to get to the very center. Once there she dove right in for a hug. Frank followed her actions.

Nico just stood by close smiling to himself. After all, he knew Leo was alive. He didn't say anything because he didn't know if he should or not. There might have been a reason that he didn't know of. Plus it would ruin the surprise.

After the hug feast, Leo wiped his eyes on his sleeve and began to talk. "The super sized mcshizzle! Bad boy supreme! Leo Valdez!" He yelled bowing. "Also I bought some one back with me!" He gestured up to the dragon.

On the back of it was Calypso. Percy looked up then back at Leo "Dude you did it! Good for you!" They high fived. And Leo had Happy the dragon bend down to let Calypso off. She tried to act cool but since she had been on an island alone for so long, she wasn't use to crowds.

Her shyness got to her and she hide behind Leo, who laughed a little. Calypso turned him around to speak with him. "There's so many people here! I feel embarrassed and I don't know why."

Nico decided to speak up "It's okay. You haven't been around a lot of people." Calypso looked at him "Nico? You go here now? I thought you said you mostly lived in the underworld?" Leo looked between both of them.

"You guys know each other!"

"When I first started shadow traveling I would land in random places sometimes." He looked back at Calypso "you happy your off the island?"

She nodded "Yeah. It's more different than I thought it would be but its still really cool! Did you know that there is this thing that you can look up anything on! Leo what was it called again?"

"Google."

"Yes! It has so many things on it! Also the whole internet stuff is a mystery to me. Leo says that it's not magic either!"

Percy inserted a quick note "Hermes invented the Internet so it could be magical!"

Annabeth hit the back of his head lightly. "Seaweed brain. We went over this already! It's not magic!"

Calypso laughed. "So this is Annabeth?"

"Yes! Nice to meet you." She leaned in and whispered to Calypso "I know that you have Leo now so the whole thing with Percy is...?"

She laughed again and whispered back. "Don't worry, I'm over him. He's not exactly my type anyway."

"Why am I no ones type anymore!" Percy glanced over to Nico. Calypso saw this and ran over to Nico. "You told him didn't you!" She was happy that Nico got it off his chest. She knew how much it hurt him.

"Yeah but let's not talk about it in front of the whole camp." Nico smiled at her excitement. "And you found someone who finally came back. Was it worth the wait?"

Calypso walked back to Leo, who was talking to some Hephaestus kids about being head councilor again, and hugged him. "Of course."

- time skip -

Once the commotion died down Leo, Calypso, Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Frank, Hazel, and a forced Nico went back to Zeus' cabin.

They were all sitting about. Talking to each other and filling Leo in on what he missed, when Hazel remembered something. "WE FORGOT ABOUT NICO'S DATE!"

Piper gasped and started to panic "How much time has gone by! Did you get any money! Jason ! Any transportation yet! Oh my gods! We forgot!"

Jason tried to calm her down. "It's okay Piper. It's only been an hour. We still have time to do everything."

Leo joined in the conversation. "Nico has a date?! With who?! Should I approve of this!"

Calypso squealed "Nico! You got a date! I'm so happy for you! What do they look like! Have I meet them before! This is so exciting!"

Nico tried to flee, hoping he could get away before it started again. He was almost to the door when Jason got in front of him and pulled him to the center of the room.

Hazel jumped up and down with Calypso. "His name is Will Solace! He is the son of Apollo! And he's a Doctor! They are the cutest thing every! We have a scrape book!"

"Oh my gods I need to see it right now!" She turned to Nico "Son of Apollo and a doctor, huh. You have good taste." Leo called out "Hey! What about me!" "Come on. You know I love you!"

"I know. I love you too. Speaking of love... Nico... Just saying... I called it." "What!?" "Anyway... Solace? I think he was the guy that showed me around the first day I was here. He is reallllllyyyyyyy talllllll! Like soooooo tallllll! Is this your first date?!"

Piper screamed "Yes! So We are going to New York to get him close! But we need to raise some money first."

"How are you guys doing that?"

"We're selling pics of Nico and Will that we took. This is my new favorite! We took it today!"

She showed him the pick were Nico is pinned to a wall and Will is about to kiss him.

Leo looked at the pic "I ship it." Everyone agreed "I know right!"

"Also isn't this is kind of like po-" Everyone shushed him "ssshuusshh ssuuushh ssuuuuuuhhhhhh... We don't call attention to it..."
