Thank you Thals and ThaliaDiAngelo for the reviews. Hope you like this chapter.

At Olympus.

"But Daaaaaaaaad, I don't want to see Aphrodite", Nico whined. Hades ignored him and continued dragging him through the halls of Olympus.

"Hey uncle, what's up cousin?" Apollo asked as he saw the two while walking down the halls.

"Just trying to find Aphrodite." Hades replied again ignoring the pleading looks of his son.

"And why may I ask are you trying to find out where the Goddess of Love is?" Apollo asked thinking of many reasons, but nothing could have prepared him for the answer.

"Nico's got some girl problems and I want to help him sort it out." Hades replied.

"Oooh, and who is the lucky girl our little demon has taken a fancy for?" Apollo winked at Nico.

"None of your business. And it's nothing like that." Hades replied firmly.

"Then why are you going to Aphrodite for help?" Apollo asked, this wiggling his eyebrows at Nico.

"BECAUSE, I don't think the other goddesses would be of much help." Hade replied in a serious tone and continued to drag his son around Olympus in search of the Make-up monster.

Apollo knew better not to argue with a Member of the Big Three. He also knew why Hades wanted to help Nico out. He felt guilty for not being there for his only son/child when Bianca died, so he wanted to be on Nico's good side. Apollo stopped thinking and started to wonder where his younger sister was, it's been a whole good 2 hours since he annoyed her.

Back to Nico, he couldn't believe his dad is making him do this. Just because you don't know how to help me with my problems, doesn't mean you get to ask help from the gossip queen of Olympus.

Finally, they found her room. A huge pink room with saloon chairs everywhere and pink frilly doilies littered here and there. Aphrodite was sitting in the middle of her bed reading the Times and a bunch of others magazines which Nico couldn't read due to, wouldn't you have guessed it, his Dyslexia. The bed was huge and could have fit five mortal men in it.

Aphrodite noticed Hades and welcomed him in. Nico knew all about Aphrodite's spell of making the beholder believe he saw their crushes when they looked at her. He knew he would see many people, a girl he met in the Lotus Casino, a girl from camp, a TV news anchor etc. But what surprised him was a fleeting glimpse of a punk girl, who looked quite familiar but he couldn't recognise it.

"Hello Hades, hey Nico, what brings you to my humble abode." Aphrodite asked in a sing-song voice.

"Nico here has some problems regarding a girl."Hades replied and trying not to breathe the toxic, perfume fumes which hung in the air.

"Ooooooh, little Nicy is all grown up." Aphrodite cooed. Hades almost banged his head on the wall, why do people always assume its love when it comes to the term "girl problems", he thought. Nico was thinking if suicide was better than being called "little Nicky" and swore on the river Styx that if his dad called him that, there was going to be a new Lord of the Underworld.

"It's nothing like that" Hades sighed. "Nico, please tell her what you told me."

Nico repeated everything he told his dad the day before while Aphrodite listened. Once finished Nico could have sworn Aphrodite was almost jumping in her place.

Once she calmed down, she asked Nico," Is it okay if I summon Artemis here, considering this involves one of her hunters." Hades noticed the pause before the second part but didn't think twice about it.

Nico shrugged, which Aphrodite took as a yes. She Iris- messaged Artemis, who came in a few minutes rather irritated.

"Why have you ca-" Artemis began, but was cut off by the flashy entrance of her older brother. "Where did you go sis, I was searching everywhere for you. I missed you."Apollo whined.

"You saw me 2 minutes ago and STOP CALLING ME SIS!"

"JEEZ, calm down sis, you're worse than Demeter."At this comment, Hades couldn't help but let out a chuckle. Artemis finally noticed that Hades and Nico were also in the room.

"Why did you call me here, Aphrodite?" Artemis questioned looking sceptically at the Underworld family.

"It something I want to tell you about your hunter Thalia" Aphrodite replied while trying to control herself from dancing.

"What happened to her, is she dead?" Artemis asked hurriedly, thinking if Hades was there for that particular reason.

"No! Believe me, I wouldn't allow it after what's going to happen now." Aphrodite was almost ready to burst.

"Then what is wrong with her and what's going to happen?" Artemis asked. She almost felt like slapping Aphrodite but stopped.

"THALIA IS IN LOVE WITH NICO!" Aphrodite yelled in a almost crazy fan-girl voice.

Everyone was silent till they heard a thud. They turned and saw Nico's unconscious body in the floor.

Flames accepted, tips and reviews appreciated.
