Chapter 2:
Luke was about to collapse of exhaustion but Percy quickly caught him. "H-How did you do that?" Athena asked wide-eyed at Percy and the necklace."
Percy looked at them then at the necklace, "It's from a good friend." was all Percy said as he slowly put Luke down.
Hermes ran towards Luke with Apollo behind him. "LUKE!" Hermes shouted as he tackled Luke who just woke up and was about to get up.
"Dad," Luke slowly, "you are gonna choke me." Hermes quickly let go of him and everyone saw tears running his eyes. "Hermes, can you step back? I need to check Luke to see if Kronos really is gone."
Hermes nodded and kissed Luke on the forehead before running and tackling Percy repeating thank yous at him.
Luke chuckled at them while Apollo checked him. "You know, knowing Percy he really did take him out and I no longer feel him inside of me." he told Apollo and he stared at him intensely to see if he was lying and saw that he was telling the truth.
"Kronos is truly out of him!" Apollo informed the others. "How could this be?" Zeus said frustratingly and pointed his Lighting Bolt at Percy in a 'If-you-don't-tell-me-I'm-gonna-fry-you' way.
Percy shrugged, "I already told you I got this necklace from a friend, but to put short, Kronos's essence was sucked into this necklace."
Athena looked at him, "That doesn't make sense! It isn't possible at all." Percy shrugged, "I don't know that was what my friend told me and I don't question as long as it saves my brother."
Annabeth narrowed her eyes, "You keep saying brother but you haven't known each other that long." Luke and Percy grinned at the same time and it looked exactly the same which made everyone shudder.
"Who said we didn't know each other?" they said at the exact same time like they did this many times.
"By the way Percy, was that friend of yours her?" Luke asked Percy curiously.
Nico came up to them and grinned, "Yup and she gave us a present too!"
The three ignored the yells of "You too Nico?!" from everyone else.
Luke's eyes brightened up like it was his first Christmas, "Now you tell me?! Give it here!" he tackled Nico who laughed.
"Ok ok, here!" he said and thrusted out a present in front of Luke. He eagerly took the present and ripped out the wrapping and pulled out two gauntlets.
"Really, Percy, are you sure this isn't yours?" Luke asked.
"Nope, it was from her, I got a cool pin that changes into an invisible cloak though." Percy said with a smile.
"I got a duck plushy." Nico said with a blush, "That spits out fire." he added.
"No way! Why does your sound cooler!" Luke exclaimed, pounced on Percy and tickled him.
Once Percy was a laughing mess Luke stalked behind Nico but Nico ran off before he could get him. They chased each other and they both stepped on Percy, who was getting up, as they ran in circles.
"AH!" Nico yelled as Luke caught his arm and as if in slow motion, he fell down and spectacularly kissed the floor.
"Nico, I didn't know you like the floor like that!" Luke said, taking a picture while grinning.
Percy who was facing them with a foot print on the side of his face and one on his stomach, started to laugh again.
"Shut up! That was my second kiss!" Nico sputtered as he got up from kissing the floor.
Percy and Luke blinked, "Second?" they asked at the same time. They saw Nico get a red that should not be possible.
"The first one was from her." Nico said with emphasis on her. The other two grinned in recognition while everyone else assume her was the her they kept bringing up.
"Well our first kiss was from her too, but I didn't think Mr. Shy Guy would go up to her and kiss her!" Luke teased him.
"IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!" Nico screamed as if trying to keep his rapidly losing pride.
"Oh? Sure, an accident that you happen to trip on nothing and just happen to land on top of her and kiss her too." Percy added in.
Nico's face became redder if possible which sent Percy and Luke in fits of laughter.
Everyone else just stared in amusement while Hades in horror that the thought of Nico accidentally kissing a girl. Poseidon and Hermes had a blank face at the news of three boys kissing the same girl.
"So when are we gonna visit her anyways?" Luke asked the other two.
Percy pondered this for a while then grinned, "How 'bout now?!" He took out a round green ball and threw it on the floor and it released a dark blue mist which surrounded the three boys. Before the others could go after them the mist disappeared and so did the three.
