After discovering how bras work I spent another ten minutes deciding what to wear
At the end I chose a pair of black skinny jeans that had a few thin chains on it's right side, a pair of black short boots that had a little bit of platform, a black sweater which sleeves were longer than my arms, just the way I like it, and a leather jacket that had the symbol of, one of my favorites bands, "Within Temptation" on the back. In moments like this I really thank for all those tea parties that Persephone forced me to assist, so we could bond.

As I looked at myself on the mirror I felt weird, it was as if I wasn't seeing me. I was there but something was messing. The sudden slam of my cabin's door dragged me from my thoughts.

-Nico!- my favorite twins shouted at the same time- You need to...- whatever they were going to demand was soon forgotten when their eyes landed on me. Their jaw fell and eyes almost popped out of their faces- Damn you look hot!- I blushed at their comment, feeling like a straweirdin my own skin.

-What do you want guys?- even my voice was very different.

-Oh, yes!- Travis was the first to snap from his shock- Mr.D and Chiron demanded to see you right now.

-They are angry at you because of your suddenly trip to the Underworld without their permission- Connor added.

-You are not helping at all- I told the latter, who had the desency to look ashamed- Did you tell them what happened to me?

-No, we just told them that it was something very grave- answered Connor- So serious that even made Lord Hades worriedly angry.

-Before exiting the cabin you need to know something, Nico- said Travis when he saw me walking towards them- News traveled fast, everyone wants to know what happened to you. Even Percy knows that something happened to you, and he is in Rome!- he exclaimed.

-Fuck!- I cursed. I was wishing for Percy to not find out about it. Ever since the war against the Titans finished he had taken the role of my big brother. The guilt he had for leaving me on my own for so many years made him super overprotective, even more than the twins. So I knew that if he found out about me being in danger he would rush here to my aid, leaving college and Anabeth behind. And that is something I don't want to happen, I know that he will end up returning but he'll have a lot of problems by then- I really am killing this mother fucker as soon as I know who it is!- I told my friends as I stomped out of the door and made my way to the big house.

I didn't care if the twins were following me or if the whole camp was whispering behind my back my anger was blinding me. The only good thing that was that Mr.D wouldn't be to hard on me cause I still have a date with his son Pollux in monday, "Now that I think about it, do I still have a date? Pollux is with Connor and I the only guys that are completly gay, the rest ae bisexual or straight".

As I was trying to guess if I still am I going out on monday I didn't notice that I was i front of th big house until Chiron gasped- Sweet Rhea! Is that you Nico?

-Yes, it is- I answered annoyed of having to answer the same question all the time- I woke up like this in the morning, that's why I panicked and shadow traveled to the Underworld without your permission. For which I am truly sorry.

-It doesn't matter anymore- he dismissed the theme easily, and I had to swallow a sigh of relief. "One less problem on my shoulders"- Was someone in the Hecate cabin?- he asked me- I know that they care for you ever since you made their mother an Olympian, but there is always a chance of jealousy or envy blinding a camper.

-No, it wasn't. Father said that it is magic very strong and old, that he doesn't even know about it- at my words his face grew pale and worried at the same time- I really hope that dad finds a way to reverse the curse, I don't want to stay like a woman for the rest of my life.

-Come on Niki you are smarter than that- I didn't even notice that Mr.D stepped on the porch until he started speaking. Looking at the door of the big house I found him with his son by his side, Pollux looked as if he had just seen a ghost. "Yeah... that means that there is no date for me. I'm truly going to make this son of the bitch wish to never had born"- No curse that ancient and powerful only changes the gender of someone, it will have other effects on you as well- he raised his diet coke at me, before taking a sip from the drink- That is the true reason for which your father is going crazy trying to find a cure.

-How did you...

-My uncle went to visit my father and demand to know if he had something to do with this- Mr.D cut me off- As it was to supposed my father got angry at such accusation and they both argued heavily. At the end aunt Hestia had to stop them from starting a fight, dad ended up explaining to Hades that even though he was furios when you mad you wish now he has already forgiven you- Mr.D rolled his eyes and scoffed- In other words father is grateful at you cause your wish made his ruling way easier. He even began to watch over you from that day- the God laughed at my baffled expression. "Zeus... was watching... over ME? What the hell does that mean?!", as if he had read my mind he answered my question- At the beginning he only did it to find a way to punish you for your insolence- I swallowed hard at that- But then when he began to notice that the Gods were happier and calmer, he continued doing it for curiosity. He even said that your whish was 'a choice made worthy of a Queen'- Mr.D was laughing as he told me all this, as if it was the most funny thing in the world. While I on the other side was freaking the hell out!

-Mr.D may I know how you knew all this?- Chiron asked him.

-Everyoe talks when they are drunk- was the only answer the God gave him, before turning to me- As regards you Niki, you will stay in camp and do your stuff as always but there will be no quests until you have returned to your normal state. Also, you will have to go to the Apollo cabin for a check up every week. Thats what your father made me swear- he turned around to enter the big house as he ordered- Get the hell out of my porch, i have a poker gave to return to!

-If you need my hel Nicolo, you know where to find me- Chiron told me before following Mr.D.

-Wow!- was all Pollux said after a lot of time of just staring at each other- Nico, I...

-You want to cancel the date- I finished the phrase for him- I know, don't worry I won't held any grudges against you for it.

-No!- he replied quickly- That's notwhat I was going to say- I was confused at his words- I am gay...- he scratched his head as if he didn't know how to continue- So right now you are not intresting for me but I asked you out for who you are, not your looks. That's why I think we can try going to the movies and then having dinner. If it doesn't work out we can always be friends, what do you think?

-Pick me up at six- I answered with a smile.

-Until then!- he said running to find his friends.

-I always liked Pollux for his kindness- Travis said behind me.

-What a pitty that Mr.D isn't like his son- added Connor making us laugh.

"At least there is something good happening to me".
