As they landed on the white sand beach of the island, everyone was taken aback.

Even the deck that they were walking on was pristine, with it's red cherry oak boards lined with candles that flickered, giving off warmth and light.

The island seemed to give a rejuvenating aura, and it affected Percy especially.

After they all settled into their individual rooms, which were dome shaped and hovered over the sea, accessible only by docks; they made their way to the shore line where a large bonfire awaited the demi-gods (and Rachel).

Nico was the last to sit down on the logs, joining the rest of his friends.

"Sweet!" Leo exclaimed as he practically inhaled a chocolate bar labeled The Loveliest Chocolate on Earth! on a nearby table.

Under the bags of chocolate, marshmallows, graham crackers, and skewers, Leo found a small card stock note that had a cursive message written in a pink gelled ink which smelled like roses.

Enjoy the chocolate my dears! Eat to your hearts content. Love you darlings. - Aphrodite

Everyone complied, and offered their first s'more to the flaming hearth in respect for the love goddess' hospitality.

After eating multiple campfire delicacies, they washed down the sweets with an assortment of beverages, that magically appeared on the table. And some of the drinks weren't even virgin necessarily.

Rachel wondered if the gods knew that they were drinking alcohol, but soon dismissed it when she saw a not cared signed by Dionysus, saying to drink up.

She took a sip of her piña colada, and tugged at her sweater.

Annabeth leaned into Percy and he pulled her closer to him. Rachel looked away from their intimate gestures.

Then, she heard a voice whisper into her head. Well, not necessarily whisper. She just had this feeling.

She had been possessed enough times to know how the Oracle felt inside of her; when it took control. And this message wasn't coming from the Oracle. A feeling of pure passion, lust, and love seeped it's way into her.

"Let's play a game." She suggested, well it really wasn't Rachel who suggested it. It was as if the idea had been put into her head.

"What? Truth or dare?" Thalia snickered.

"That's a good one... But I was thinking more along the lines of Never Have I Ever." Rachel grinned. The thing was that Rachel had never even played that game before. She didn't even know how she knew the rules.

"What's that?" Leo asked, munching on a graham cracker.

"Okay, so everyone goes around the circle and says something they have never done, and anyone who has done that deed, must remove a piece of clothing." Rachel instructed and everyone listened attentively.

"I'm in!" Leo's fingers radiated heat as flames danced along his finger tips. He was especially excited because you know, girls... Removing clothing. Seemed great to him. He couldn't wait to see Thalia...

Piper looked skeptical, but she was the only one who wasn't excited and nodding their head in agreement to play the game. She didn't want anyone to know what she had done before... Or see her and her gorgeously beautiful body that she tried her best to cover up by wearing oversized sweatshirts and jeans.

She wondered why everyone else seemed so okay with playing the indecent game, surely everyone wasn't THAT open-minded. But Jason was perfectly okay with it, so she agreed to play as well.

"Cool, so... I'll start! So as you know, I'm the Oracle; I mean, virgin Oracle. So, obviously, never have I ever had the pleasure of making love." She admitted, biting her lip as her cheeks were tainted pink.

She looked around the circle to see if anyone would remove their clothes and surprisingly, Hazel removed her black sweatshirt, her cheeks a blazing shade of red. She was shitting bricks, I mean literally. Okay, not really bricks, but some diamonds rose from the ground, and she warned everyone not to touch them.

"H-Hazel?" Frank asked incredulously.

"T-this was before we met... I mean, before any of you were born really... Except for maybe you Nico," She smiled nervously, "I only had one friend and we were alone a lot..."

"Hey, that's perfectly okay." Piper smiled, assuringly.

Frank looked into the fire, then turned back to Hazel.

"It doesn't change what I think about you." Frank whispered into her ear, slipping his strong, large hands into her own. Being so close to the fire made him uneasy, and the stick in his picket seemed to grow heavier and heavier, but he endured all because of Hazel.

She was so incredibly grateful for him, and he was next to reveal something he had never done. Hazel wondered about his past.

Everyone awaited his answer.

"Never have I ever... Uh fantasized about someone in this group of the same sex." He said simply.

This caught people off guard. Not that it was surprising that Frank was so heterosexual, but the fact that he was bold enough to think of that confession let alone say it out loud.

They were even more caught off guard by the people removing their clothes. It seemed as though, no matter how hard they tried, their hands moved on their own accord, making it so that no one could lie about something they had or had not done.

Thalia, Annabeth, Rachel, and Nico each removed their jackets in unison, each incredibly embarrassed.

Jason shot Nico a panicked look, which made Nico look away, mortified.

By then, it seemed that the alcohol had kicked in and people were getting bolder.

Thalia and Rachel thinking that way was easy to understand; both of them having to swear off boys. It seemed only natural to like or think about girls for them. But Annabeth and Nico? Percy wondered who Annabeth could have liked, a tinge of jealousy struck him, but he shook it off.

And then there was Nico, poor confused Nico.

Hazel cleared her throat.

"Never have I ever..." She paused, thinking, "pleasured myself..." She lingered on the last part, as if she was too embarrassed to say the words out loud.

And to everyones chagrin, their hands moved on their own accord. Some removing their first piece of clothing, and others removing their second.

Leo chuckled, "Damn hormonal half-bloods. Gotta relieve that stress."

Nico somehow felt less alone. All this time he had felt so different, so alone. He didn't have a girlfriend... Or boyfriend for that matter, and spent many nights alone. But seeing as everyone had, 'served' themselves, he somehow felt better.

It was Piper's turn, when Thalia joked, "What hasn't an Aphrodite child done?" Which earned her a few giggles.

"Ha ha, very funny... But, never have I ever... Used an iris message as a means to watch campers change." She directed her eyes towards Leo, who's hair had caught fire with his embarrassment.

"It was one time!" He complained while removing his suspenders, though he wasn't the only one, as Percy pulled his shirt over his head.

Annabeth hit his chest, hard.

"Explain..." She demanded.

He threw his hands into the air.

"I... I was trying to contact you about a capture the flag strategy... I didn't know you were naked..." He said defensively while all his other friends laugh.

"Percy, you're such a perv..." She huffed, her arms crossing over her chest.

"Excuse me? It was an accident! Alright, never have I ever read a dirty girl on girl novel." Percy declared.

Annabeth's ears turned pink, as she removed her button up blouse, which made her thank the gods for wearing an undershirt.

Rachel, Thalia, and Leo also removed their shirts.

"Hey, a hunter needs a little fanfiction every once and a while..." Thalia shrugged.

Frank and Jason could hardly contain their laughter.

"Leo?"

"What? Lez novels are pretty hot..." He admitted, running a hand through his curly wild hair.

"I-I read it for the plot, okay?!" Annabeth pouted, turning away from Percy.

"Can't we play something else?" Piper suggested, and Annabeth looked at her as if she were her saving grace.

"What do you have I mind?" Frank asked, sipping his alcohol laced Coke.

"I don't know... Good old fashioned truth or dare?" She shrugged.

"We're halfway through the game, might as well finish it." Thalia tried to cover herself all she had on was her bra, pants, and underwear.

Leo had to stifle a nosebleed.

"Okay, so since Percy so rudely interrupted the circle, we'll start backwards. So, Nico..." She gestured towards the black haired boy.

He tried his best to look confident. He was just glad that they weren't playing truth or dare, because he dreaded the routine question of who do you like? And that was the thing- Nico didn't know who he liked. He was older, sure, but he still remembered those feelings that never seemed to go away completely. How he longed to feel loved, a requited love. The only two people he ever felt for romantically were pretty off limits.

"I... I've never kissed anyone." Nico said solemnly.

A wave of pity washed over the campfire, as everyone else had kissed someone before.

It was so elementary; so common to have kissed someone. Nico was 16 (anatomically) now, how could he not have ever been kissed?

With that confession, Percy and Leo were clad in only their boxer briefs; which the girls didn't mind. Their muscles flexed with anticipation, and their skin seemed to glow from the fire light, Leo especially.

Nico and Jason still had their lower bodies covered, wearing their pants.

Rachel stole a few glimpses at Nico's bare chest. His skin was almost as pale as the sand, but his hair was darker than the night sky. He had filled out well since they were kids. He'd grown taller, his muscles and chest had developed, and he had lost his baby face; leaving a chiseled and strikingly handsome face.

Then there was Jason. Piper's heart nearly skipped a beat when she looked to her right and found her blonde boyfriend. They had had some pretty steamy make out sessions, but they had never seen each other shirtless. Piper just wanted to reach over and run her hands down his tan, deep abs.

Jason couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed that Piper had the most clothes on while the rest of the girls had only an undershirt and their matching sets of cute, lacey underwear.

"So you've never ever been kissed?" Rachel asked, stressing how in disbelief she was.

"Not once."

Everyone looked around the circle, waiting for someone to take one for the team.

"So, I don't know if I told you guys, but I talked to Apollo; he's a pretty nice guy. You know, when he's not flirting with me all the time..." Rachel glowered.

"What'd he say?" Frank asked, his admiration for Apollo, very apparent.

"I'm on break; I mean, we're all on break. So, for the remainder of the trip, I'm free to do whatever I please, as long as it isn't the BIG rule. You know, gotta remain 'pure', but I won't be sprouting prophecies until we get back." She dug her toes into the sand.

"I wish Artemis would cut me a break like that. Boys are still of limits completely..." Thalia whined.

"Are you still sure the no boys thing isn't seasonal?" Leo asked, arching his eyebrows.

"Dude, that's my sister." Jason interjected.

"Your hot sister." Leo corrected.

"You guys are pathetic. If there's something I've never done, it would be that I never ever liked Leo." Thalia stuck out her tongue.

"Hurtful..." Leo pouted while Thalia shrugged.

"What I'm trying to say is," Rachel Rose from her seat, and walked around the fire, "I'm allowed to do this."

Herlips gingerly pressed up against Nico's as a gasp escaped from his lips. His fingers dug into the log, and Rachel's hands cupped his face. She tasted like pineapple; so tropical. She was extremely exotic. Her fiery red curls defiantly stuck out from her head band, her green eyes mirrored emeralds, and her creamy skin had little specks of freckles spreading across her cheeks. Her lips were so soft and warm in contrast to the son of Hades' cool temperature.

Their mouths moved in perfect unison and it was the best first kiss Nico had ever imagined to experience.

"Uh... Are you guys done eating each other?" Leo laughed, obviously aroused and anxious.

"Yeah, get a room!" Frank howled and everyone joined into the laughter.

Nico was still in shock, reeling from that ambush. He'd never felt that way before. For some odd reason, he felt... Warm and tingly. The feeling was so foreign.

"I'll just uh, let you recover." Rachel giggled.

"So how was it?" Piper asked."

"Still better than Percy..." Rachel teased and everyone began laughing hysterically, chanting "ooohhhhh!"

"Hey Percy, wanna put some ice old water on that burn?" Jason mused.

Percy shook his head, smiling.

"Hey.. I was like thirteen." He defended his cheeks pink.

"Wow, I can't believe I was Nico's first. I'm just gonna let that sink in..." Rachel reclined in her seat.

Nico was still dazed.

"That.." He began.

"Woah there tiger, don't hurt yourself." Frank chuckled.

Thalia clapped her hands together, "Well, let's move on, shall we?"

"Your turn Thalia."

"I already went."

"When?"

"I just said, 'Never have I ever liked Leo.'" She repeated triumphantly.

"Ohhhh you were serious? God, you must really be dedicated to Artemis to have resisted me for so long..." Leo smirked.

"Not even in your wildest dreams, tool box." She retorted. There was tension between the two demi-gods, that much was obvious.

If that were the case, then why was Piper receiving these vibes?

"Alright, alright. I have one." Percy wiped his chin before continuing, "I have never skinny dipped before."

"The son of Poseidon has never skinny dipped before?" Hazel scoffed.

"Not yet." He smirked.

Just then Percy practically jumped out of his seat, still half naked, he pulled Annabeth's hand.

"Percy!"

"It'll be fun..." He kissed her on the lips. She ran after him giggling, and they undressed as they ran, which was easy for Percy considering he was only wearing one article of clothing.

It was too dark to see their body parts anyways.

"Awwww yeaaaahhh!" Leo yelled, running down the beach, wearing only his tool belt, but only his tan backside was visible to the everyone.

"Why not?" Rachel shrugged, undressing so that she was only in her bra and panties which had a striped print on them. Nico was so entranced with her body, that he too ran down to the beach; even if he was too self conscious to shed that one piece of material that would make him completely naked.

Ultimately, everyone ended up in the water; half of them stark naked, half of them only in their skivvies, splashing at each other, swimming around.

The water wasn't even cold; if anything it was unusually warm.

Percy pulled Annabeth closer to him in the water. He could feel her breasts rub up against him, and her wet hair clumped at her shoulders. She looked exquisite.

This time, Rachel didn't look away. She wanted that. She wanted to feel someone against her, admiring her the way Percy admired Annabeth or how Jason stared at Piper or the way Leo stared at fried chicken. She wanted someone to love her the same way Leo loved Calypso. She wanted someone to vow to always love her and do whatever it takes to come back to her.

And even though she was the Oracle; she hoped that she'd find love on this trip. She knew that she was granted only a week to bend the rules and love a boy. And with that kiss that she shared with Nico, she knew that things wouldn't be easy. She'd just fall for him even harder and then after a week, everything would change.

Someone tapped her on the shoulder. Rachel turned to find Nico di Angelo wrapping his arms around her waist, closing the gap between them.

"Thank you." He kissed her collarbone and she rolled her neck seductively.

And the night was not even near over...
