Again, not much to say, other then even if I don't get any reviews, im still gonna post this story. But reviews will make me update faster….maybe.
CHAPTER 3 (I don't know why I put that in caps lock….randomness….)
Nico's POV
Well, it was the next day. yay. Now I get to go a quest with Annabeth. Sigh. She's gonna kill me before we even get out of New York. And for some odd reason, I was in the mood to play my flute. Dunno why, I just was. maybe Apollo was messing with my mind. I hate it when he does that. As I walking toward Half-Blood Hill, I tripped. Again. This time, on a trip wire. I growled.
"TRAVIS! CONNER!" I knew they put it there. Ever sense I lied and told Katie Gardener that Travis has a crush on her during the battle, they have NOT left me alone. Not to mention that Katie kicked me in a very painful spot. Darn girls and their kicking.
Travis and Conner came out laughing as I pulled myself off the ground and dusted my baggy jeans off. (A/N: I don't like it when people have Nico wear black skinny jeans. I don't even know why people LIKE those kind of jeans, let alone boys! I mean really, skinny jeans are uncomfortable. And stupid. And im a girl saying this, so get over it, you fashion lovers. I HATE fashion. I like staying AWAY from what most people wear! Yay! Im different! No offense…)
"And you said he would see the shine of the wire!" Travis laughed as he playfully pushed Conner. I gritted my teeth.
"Nico! Hurry up, you walking skeleton!" Annabeth yelled from the hill. I pushed Travis and Conner out of my way, I stormed up the hill, my sword disguised cleverly as a cell phone. (A/n: okay, I know I just had an Authors Note, but I jut have feeling that if anyone ever reviews this story, they're gonna say something about Nico's sword being made out of Stygian Iron or whatever, and I know that. But I wanted it to be that he got a new sword made out of the same thing a Luke's old sword, Backbiter, only because I like that name and just feel like it. and don't try to get me to change it, because im a persistent person sometime, and Invader Zim fans don't just give up easily like some people do.)
we started up the road in silence.
"Why couldn't Argus drive us?" I asked after a few minutes.
"Because he's busy. In case you haven't realized, Bonehead, the whole camp has been busy lately. Which is why we couldn't have someone else come with us." Annabeth stated, matter-of-factly.
"And we couldn't take any Pegasi?" I complained.
"I thought horses and Pegasi hate you."
"They do. But there ARE skeletal Pegasi, ya know. those don't hate me."
"And you've ridden them?"
"I rode one…named…ugh, what was his name?"
"His name was Ugh? I thought that was your name."
"Shut up!"
"Fine."
"His name was….." I raked my brain to remember. Geez, what a shame. My own Pegasus, and I cant remember his name.
"ShadowFlash!" I exclaimed. Annabeth looked at me like I was nuts. Maybe I was. who knew?
"What?" she asked.
"ShadowFlash. That's the Pegasus's name." I said.
"You sure you're not just losing your mind?"
"Positive."
And we fell silent. This road was long. And it just kept going, and going, and going, and going, and going, and going- THERE GOES A MOUSE! And going, and going, and going, and going….AND im bored.
"Are we there yet?" I asked.
"Well, we're out of camp, and that has to count as something."
"Like a quick road to death!" I exclaimed with fake joy.
"Hahaha. Very funny."
"You are such a downer."
"Yeah, and you aren't, Mr. Emo?"
"Im not emo, and the next person who says that is going to die a very painful death by the hands of me."
"But you cant kill a girl."
"Shut up."
"You say that a lot."
"You say 'you' a lot."
"Because I have to."
"Why?"
"Because."
"Because why?"
"Because I do!"
"Why?"
"Because I cant call 'you' 'I'!"
"Why?"
"Nico!"
"What?"
"Stop that!"
"Stop what?" hehehe…annoying Annabeth is fun….
"Im going to slap you!"
"Why?"
"NICO!"
"What?"
"Shut up!"
"Why?"
"Because you're more annoying then the Stoll brothers!"
"But there's no one more annoying then them."
"Yeah, and you're that No One."
"Why?"
she turned on her heal and kicked me in the stomach. I grunted as I doubled over. Even if I already stated it, im stating it again: darn girls and their kicking. She walked on ahead. I looked up.
"Hey! Wait up!" I called. I broke into a run to catch up, but then got an idea for the morning. Hehehe…I grinned semi-evilly.
"You have legs. You can catch up." She called back. I caught up.
"You said 'you' again."
She rose a fist to punch me. I put my arms up in surrender.
"Just saying!"
