So sorry about the long wait! I'm getting used to being in the routine of going back to school. Here is the second chapter for you all.

Nico

Nico hadn't been at Camp Half-Blood in a while so he decided he would just lay low. He had been roaming around a couple states south when he had received an Iris message from Chiron, asking him for help. Nico had arrived at camp yesterday during capture the flag so he decided to sleep in the Big House for the night.

Nico had just eaten breakfast consisting of pancakes and orange juice. Feeling stuffed, he walked out onto the porch and sat in a chair, laying his bag next to the chair. He watched a few campers play volleyball while he waited for Percy, Annabeth, and Chiron.

When Chiron had asked for Nico's help he couldn't refuse. There wasn't much else to do and he was getting tired of spending time in the underworld. Sometimes he felt very alone so he was happy he could spend time with some of his old friends.

Percy and Annabeth were holding hands as they walked onto the porch of the Big House carrying their bags for the quest.

"Hey man!" Percy said excitedly, giving Nico a wide smile. Annabeth also smiled at him.

"Glad you kids have had a chance to talk," Said a voice behind them. They turned around and saw Chiron, in full form. "It's time to get serious now. You will be leaving for your quest shortly. I assume you have all your stuff with you." Chiron said looking at their bags.

"Yes, I think we're all set, Chiron," Nico said. He was a little anxious. It had been a while since he had been on a quest.

"Very good, we shall head up to the top of the hill and I will send you on your way." Chiron said.

They walked up the grassy hill and stood next to Thalia's tree. Nico looked down at camp half-blood where all the campers were going about their normal activities.

Chiron handed Percy an envelope. "Those are train tickets to Lima and back to New York." Percy tucked the envelope into his back pack. Chiron looked at them seriously, "Be very careful, ok? Who knows what kind of monsters could be in Lima. Watch out for Sue Artie still isn't sure if she is a monster or not."

They all nodded. "There's a taxi waiting for you on the other side of the hill." Chiron said. "You should head off now."

They all said goodbye to Chiron and headed off toward the taxi. "Percy! Annabeth! Nico!" They turned around and looked at Chiron, "May the Gods be with you!" With that, they continued to the taxi. Chiron watched them as they drove off down the road.

Annabeth

It was the middle of the afternoon when they were finally settled on the train and heading towards Ohio. Percy and Annabeth were sitting in the seat across from Nico. Annabeth had her head rested on Percy's shoulder. She loved that Percy was always there for her.

"So Nico," Annabeth asked, "What have you been up to these past few months?" She hadn't seen Nico in so long she was afraid something might have happened to him.

"Nothing much," Nico said nonchalantly, "I've been helping my dad a little. I was also in California for a little while, nothing too interesting. What about you guys?"

"Just the normal stuff," Percy said, "Same camp schedule every week. It's been a pretty boring summer."

"At least we get to spend time with each other." Annabeth said gazing lovingly at Percy. Percy kissed her lips tenderly. The kiss soon became heated and they were about to start up a full make out session when Nico gave a little cough.

"Sorry," Percy and Annabeth said in union. They were both blushing.

"I'm guessing that happens a lot." Nico stated. It was true. At camp they could hardly keep their hands off each other.

Annabeth knew they wouldn't arrive in Lima until tomorrow morning so they would have to sleep on the train.

They must have talked for hours on the train because they eventually fell asleep when the sun had gone down. Annabeth had her head on Percy's shoulder as he put his arm around her protectively.

"Annabeth," Percy said, "Annabeth it's time to wake up." She opened her eyes and saw her boyfriend standing over her.

"Good morning Percy," Annabeth said smiling.

"good morning to you too sleepy head," Percy smiled back. He placed a quick peck on her lips.

"Ok you two!" Nico exclaimed, "You can make out when we get back to camp. But right now, we have to go help our demigod friends."

Annabeth looked out the window and saw the Lima train station.

Once again sorry for the long wait! Any suggestions?
