The boys returned to the hotel, hoping not to encounter anymore gods. They made it through the lobby, up the elevator, and down the hall, but their hopes died when they opened the door to their room.

"Dad…" Nico said. It was official. This day sucked. Percy, Jason, and Nico stared at Hades playing the piano in their hotel room. Nico recognized the song he was playing as the Funeral March.

"Nico. I like the new hair color." He said, not looking up from the piano.

"Dad, is there something you want to talk about?" Nico asked, not sure why Hades was here.

"I wanted to congratulate my son. I'm so happy for you. It doesn't often happen that one of my children get married. And to a son of Poseidon!" Hades said, uncharacteristically happy. Nico was noticing a trend between him and Cupid. He was a little confused why so many of the gods were obsessed with him and Percy getting married. "I'm just so proud. You've finally accepted who you are."

"Okay Dad." Nico said, not in the mood for a fatherly talk. Especially in front of Percy…his husband. It would take some time for Nico to get used to that.

"And that makes me Percy's father-in-law." Hades said. Nico could tell that underneath Percy's smile his soul had just died a little bit. "And Percy, you've chosen a great person to spend the rest of your life with." Then Hades turned from the piano and his smile disappeared. "But if you break his heart I will personally reserve you a spot in the deepest pits of Tartarus."

Percy swallowed and put his biggest smile on. "Wouldn't dream of it." Hades smiled again.

"Good to hear…Now to the real reason I'm here." Hades said. Nico rolled his eyes.

"I knew there was a catch." He said. Hades didn't seem to hear him.

"You three have stolen Cerberus. I would like him back now."

"Sure. You can take him. He's in the bathroom." Jason said, pointing to the bathroom.

"I want you to bring him back to the Underworld immediately."

"What?! But we can't get to the entrance in Los Angeles. At least, not for a few days." Nico said.

"That's why I'm opening the door in the gateway that's located in the Mojave Desert." Hades explained.

"How are we supposed to get Cerberus there?" Nico asked.

"You've done much greater feats. I'm sure you can think of something." Hades said, before disappearing in a cloud of foggy smoke. He left a wedding gift though.

"Let's open it!" Percy said and tore open the wrapping paper. Then he held up the gift, a little disappointed, but it was alright because he was too busy laughing his head off.

"Personalized towels?" He said through bursts of laughter.

"That's adorable." Jason commented and took a photo.

"Please, forgive my dad. His social skills are a little…rusty." Nico explained.

"Nah, he cares a lot. He means well."

"If only he was a little more helpful. So how are we going to get Cerberus to the middle of the Mojave Desert?" Jason asked.

"Hm. Do either of you have a rubber ball?" Percy asked. Nico and Jason shook their heads, so they started searching the hotel room.

"This room is completely trashed." Percy pointed out.

"Yeah. And what's with all the peacock feathers?" Jason asked, holding up a boa made of peacock feathers.

"Oh my gods! Jason, I think I just found your tooth." Nico said, holding up the clear shot glass that the bloody tooth was sitting in.

"Ew." Percy commented. Even Jason cringed.

"Let's clean it off and we can get Dr. Asclepius to put it back in." Jason said, hopefully.

"I don't know. The man's a doctor, not a dentist." Percy said. Then he noticed the concern on Jason's face, so he added, "But he is a god, so I'm sure he can handle it."

"Yeah." Jason said. As he brought the tooth over to the sink to wash it off, he saw a blender filled with a pink liquid.

"Hey, check this out. I think it's the lotus-flower smoothies." Jason said. Nico and Percy looked at the blender.

"What if we drug Cerberus?" Nico suggested. Percy and Jason stared at him.

"I can't tell if you're being serious or not."

"No, really. If we drug him enough we can placate him, and it's getting dark so I can shadow travel us to the gateway." Nico said. Percy checked in the fridge.

"Lucky for us, it looks like we've got a refrigerator full of this stuff." Percy said. Jason picked one of the pink flowers up.

"Wow. They do look pretty delicious…" He said. Percy slapped his hand, causing him to drop the pastry.

"Dude. Addictive. And we do not want a repeat of last night." Percy said. Jason looked sheepishly down at the fallen flower.

"Haha. Right."

"Here, stuff them in here." Nico said, turning the blender on. They blended up about 5 gallons worth of the lotus-flowers.

"Hope this'll be enough." Jason said. Nico fished through the refrigerator and found a conveniently large piece of steak.

"Let's soak this in the lotus-flower…uh. Would you call this a smoothie?" Nico asked.

"Nah. I think it's more of a sauce." Percy said, contemplating it.

"Not important." Jason said, pouring the lotus-flower smoothie/sauce/liquid over the steak. Then he gently picked it up and slid it into the bathroom before one of Cerberus's heads could bite him. A few moments later the boys heard a heavy thud, and opened the bathroom to find Cerberus unconscious on the floor.

"It worked!" Percy said.

"Great. Now I'll shadow travel us downstairs." Nico said. Nico grabbed hold of the drugged Cerberus while Percy wrapped his hands around his waist. Nico blushed but was secretly happy. Jason, being the awkward third wheel, took a picture for the scrapbook he was making about his OTP. Then he placed his hand on Percy and they disappeared and reappeared in the lobby of Caesar's Palace a few minutes later. None of the guests noticed anything out of the ordinary.

Nico continued to shadow travel till they were just outside Las Vegas. He was sweating by then.

"Nico, are you okay?" Percy asked, noticing. Nico wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Yeah. It's just difficult shadow traveling two other people and a giant three-headed dog. I just need a few minutes." Nico said. He laid back on the sand, getting it in his pink hair. Jason was looking at the sun setting beyond the sandy dunes.

"How did it get so late?" He asked.

"We spent a lot of time getting beaten up by the First Cohort." Percy suggested.

"Not to mention all that time we spent practicing with Apollo." Nico added, and then dropped his head back onto the sand to rest.

"It's been a whole day and we still aren't very close to finding Leo. I hope he's okay." Jason said. Percy slapped him good-naturedly on the back.

"Leo's tough. I'm sure he's fine." He said, trying to ease Jason's worry. Their moment was interrupted by a strange grumbling noise.

"Don't worry, we can grab a bite to eat after this." Percy said to Jason.

"What?" Jason asked.

"Wasn't that your stomach?" Percy asked. The look on Jason's face answered his question. The two boys slowly turned around to look at Cerberus, whose leg just twitched. Nico was napping a few feet away.

"Nico. Time to wake up." Percy whispered, trying not to wake Cerberus. He inched towards Nico. Cerberus rolled over. Percy froze, and then kept going.

"Nicoooo." Percy pleaded. Nico mumbled something, but didn't open his eyes.

"NIIICO." Percy tried again, just as Cerberus opened his eyes and stood up. He shook the sleep off.

"NIIIIICOOOO!" Percy yelled. Nico jumped up, just as one of the heads snapped at him. He ducked just in time to not get eaten. Percy and Jason each grabbed one of Cerberus' hind legs. Nico dove under one of the heads and grabbed one of the front legs. They disappeared and reappeared. Then they disappeared and reappeared again. And again. And again. Finally they caught sight of the gateway.

"Keep going Nico! Almost there." Jason yelled, encouragingly. Just as he did, Cerberus swiped at him with his free paw. He grazed his back, but it was enough to draw blood. Jason lost his grip of Cerberus.

"Ahh!" He landed on his back. The grains of sand stung the laceration.

"I'll stay with him. You keep going!" Percy yelled. He let go of Cerberus and ran over to Jason. Nico hesitated before disappearing and reappearing in front of the gateway.

"Well done, Nico."

Nico glanced up to see his father leaning against the doorway. He held up a rubber ball and whistled. Cerberus perked up. Hades threw the ball into the gateway and Cerberus chased after it.

"Thanks for all the help, dad." Nico said, more than a little pissed.

"Here, we found this when we discovered Cerberus was gone. It might help you find your friend." Hades said, tossing Leo's tool belt to Nico. It landed in front of him, spraying sand in Nico face.

"Oh, and I hope you liked the wedding gift." Hades said before stepping through the gateway. A second later it disappeared. Nico stared for a moment and then looked down at the tool belt. He felt sick thinking about Leo without his beloved tool belt. As he picked it up, sand fell off of it along with some peacock feathers. Nico picked one up and inspected it. He couldn't understand where it came from. Then he remembered Jason, and disappeared.

He reappeared in front of Percy, who was feeding Jason some ambrosia. He jumped in shock as Nico appeared.

"Nico! Did you get Cerberus to the gateway?" He asked.

"Yeah. Is Jason alright?" Nico asked.

"He should be fine with some ambrosia. Pretty nasty scratch though." Percy said. Jason smiled at Nico.

"I've had worse." Then he saw the tool belt. "Is that…?"

"Yeah." Nico answered. "Hades said he found it at the scene of the crime."

"At least we know Leo was with us when we kidnapped Cerberus." Percy said, ever the optimist.

"Let's head back to the hotel." Jason said, getting up. The demigods started back, but at the outskirts of the city Nico collapsed.

"It's alright. We can walk the rest of the way." Jason said. So both Jason and Nico leaned on Percy as they stumbled towards Caesar's Palace.

"Phew. Almost there." Percy announced as he saw the gleaming neon sign and familiar columns of the casino.

"Stop right there, Jackson."

"Octavian?" Percy asked, bewildered. He could have sworn Octavian and the First Cohort were not standing behind them moments ago. "Where did you even come from?"

"The First Cohort is trained to move quickly." Octavian explained.

"Yes, but that was like in seconds." Percy said. Jason raised his head, and winced a little from the pain.

"What do you want?" Jason asked.

"I want you to return the Sibylline Books immediately." Octavian said.

"But I thought they burned in the sacking of Rome." Nico said.

"Don't play dumb with me. I want the recreations that the Greek camp has been making from the harpy." Octavian said.

"We've been making recreations of the Sibylline Books?" Percy asked Jason, who was still holding on to Percy for support.

"Apparently." Jason said.

"Then those books are the property of Camp Half-blood." Percy said defiantly.

"It was. But you will give them to me or I will kill your friend Leo."

"What?" The three demigods gasped. Percy accidentally dropped Jason and Nico out of shock.

"Oh, sorry about that." He apologized and helped them back up. Then he looked enraged at Octavian. Even while supporting his injured friends Percy looked intimidating. And even though they were hurt, Nico and Jason were also giving Octavian very threatening glares. The First Cohort was unnerved at the anger radiating from the sons of the three most powerful gods.

"I shall not harm your friend, but only if you give me the books. You have until noon. Meet us at our camp in the desert." With that Octavian and the First Cohort marched away.

"I hate that guy." Nico said.

"If he touches even one hair on Leo's head…" Percy trailed off threateningly.

"At least we know where Leo is. Now we just need to figure out where the books are." Jason said.

"Let's check in the hotel room." Nico said. And so the trio stumbled off towards the casino.

However, as the elevator was riding up to their floor, it stopped and two more passengers got on. They seemed normal enough. It appeared as if they were common gamblers just come from the casino.

"I can't believe we lost all our money to that chick." One of them complained.

"You'd think a simple dice game would be easy to win." The other one agreed.

"It seemed as if I just didn't have any luck today." The first one said.

"Yeah. We lost all our money. And for what? Some stupid books!" The three demigods were suddenly interested.

"Excuse me, I couldn't help but overhear your conversation." Jason said. "May I ask, what the name of these books were that you bet all your money to win?"

"Hell, I don't even remember!" The first one said, spitting across the elevator.

"I think it started with an S. Sebilen. Seblleen. Seb-something." The second one said.

"Sibylline?" Nico asked.

"Yep. That sounds right. But I'm warning you kid, that girl who runs that game is good. I wouldn't go betting my money against her again."

"Not that we have any more money to bet." The first one grumbled.

"Alright. Thank you for the tip." Jason said. The next floor the two men got out of the elevator.

"You don't think we…" Percy asked.

"I think we did." Jason said.

"I can't believe we bet and lost the Sibylline Books." Percy said, shaking his head.

"Hopefully we can win them back." Moments later they were wandering the casino. Luckily Jason and Nico had taken some ambrosia and were able to walk on their own. They were careful to avoid any authorities that might kick them out because they were adolescents.

"There she is, in the far corner." Nico said, pointing to a bored looking woman who was decorated with golden laurels and dressed in a tunic with matching golden belts. The three boys headed over and sat down before the woman.

"Ah. Back again I see." The woman said.

"Back again?" Jason asked.

"I hope you wouldn't forget an encounter with Tyche, Goddess of Luck and Chance."

"Oh gods." Nico moaned.

"I take it you wish to once again bet to win back the Sibylline Books?" Tyche asked.

"Precisely." Jason said.

"I would have thought you would learn from the last time you played." Tyche said.

"Last time?" Nico asked.

"Yes. Don't you remember betting to dye your hair pink and then losing? And Jason betting to pull out his own tooth and losing? And Percy betting the Sibylline Books?" Tyche asked. Percy cringed.

"Yikes. Sorry about that, guys." He said, scratching his head sheepishly.

"Well…We lost our memories, so we don't. But we really need to win back those books. It's to save our friend." Jason explained.

"Very well. Then let us once again play knucklebones." Tyche said. "The rules are simple, whoever rolls the highest wins. Whoever rolls the lowest is out. Whoever remains at the end wins all. Each knucklebones has digits ranging from 1 to 7." Tyche said. She handed each of them four knucklebones.

"Ew. Are these real bones? I thought the game was just cleverly named." Percy said.

"I shall bet the Sibylline Books. What shall each of you bet?" Tyche asked, ignoring Percy's comment. "Remember, its value must be equal with that of the Sibylline Books."

The three boys were silent for a moment. Nico placed Leo's toolbelt on the table. Jason reluctantly placed the scrapbook he was making about Percy and Nico's relationship on the table too. Percy looked sadly at his wedding ring, knowing it was the only thing valuable enough to equal the Sibylline Books that he could bet. He took it off and placed it on the table.

"Let us begin. And may luck find you." Tyche said, before rolling her knucklebones. "25."

Then Jason rolled. "17."

Then Percy. "19."

Finally Nico. "7…" Suddenly Nico's knucklebones disappeared from the table.

"You're out." Tyche said. She rolled again. "26."

Jason rolled. "13."

Percy rolled. "14." He looked at Jason, whose knucklebones disappeared.

"It's up to you Percy." Nico said.

"You may roll first." Tyche said, gesturing to the table. Percy gulped and shook the knucklebones furiously. He close his eyes and rolled them. He forced himself to open his eyes. He stared at amazement.

"28…" He read off the knucklebones. He was shocked. Even Tyche looked surprised, her mouth had fallen open.

"Yes Percy!" Nico said.

"Way to go!" Jason agreed. Tyche closed her mouth, and vigorously shook her knucklebones. She rolled and then smiled triumphantly. "29."

"B-but." Percy began. Before his knucklebones could disappear, he picked them up.

"That's impossible!" He said angrily. "I may be bad at math, but I know that 7 times 4 equals 28. The most anyone could roll with these knucklebones is a 28! Not even the Goddess of Luck could roll more."

"Are you implying that I cheated?" Tyche asked, sounding offended.

"I'm saying I want to roll again."

"Very well."

"But, I want to roll with your knucklebones." Percy said.

"M-my knucklebones?" Tyche asked. Percy nodded.

"Very well, but you must bet something else. Something worth even more than the Sibylline Books." Tyche said.

"But I don't have anything else-" Percy began, but he saw the mischievous smile growing on Tyche's face.

"Bet your love for Nico." She said.

"What? But-"

"It is the only thing worthy enough." She said. Percy looked at Nico, who looked back at him. Then Percy nodded at Tyche. They exchanged knucklebones. Percy rolled first.

"6…" Percy said, sadly. He had thought for sure Tyche's knucklebones were rigged. Now his miscalculation would cost him Nico.

"Hm. It is a shame. And such a nice wedding." Tyche said. "Ah well." With that she rolled again. As the knucklebones landed, the goddess's mouth dropped open.

"WHAT?"

"4!" Percy exclaimed. "I guess luck just wasn't on your side today."

"B-but…how?" She said angrily. "I don't understand! I rigged the game!" Her hand shot up to her mouth when she realized what she said. "I-I mean…"

"Give us our stuff back." Percy demanded. Tyche pouted. She waved her hand over the table and the Sibylline Books appeared.

"Just, please don't tell the other Olympians I was cheating. They'll never let me hear the end of it." She begged.

"Don't worry, your secret's safe with us." Jason said. Tyche smiled gratefully. Jason continued. "But we have one question for you."

"Yes? Anything for your secrecy."

"Was there a short little dude with black curly hair that was wearing this tool belt and probably setting stuff on fire when we were here last night?"

"Yes. Yes he was. I believe he was named Leo." Tyche answered.

"Great. Thank you for all your help." Jason said. With that the three boys walked away. As the boys exited the casino, they shielded their eyes from the sun.

"Wow. It's daylight already?" Nico asked.

"We must have spent more time in there than we thought. It looks like we've got just enough time to save Leo." Jason said.

"Then let's get Festus and go." Percy said. They climbed on and took off towards the Roman camp. They could see it from the sky. It was a neatly organized assortment of tents and defensive walls. Percy and Nico were amazed that it had been erected in such a short amount of time, but Jason knew from experience how efficient the Roman campers were. They landed in the center of the camp, causing several campers to jump in shock, and one to fall backwards into one of the tents knocking it over.

As the three demigods climbed down, Octavian stormed out of his tent with a small procession of campers following behind him.

"I see you've decided to make the practical choice." Octavian said, noticing the books tucked underneath Percy's arms.

"We'll give you the books after we see Leo, unharmed." Percy warned.

"Very well. Bring Leo out." Octavian said. Some of his procession left and then returned a moment later with a short boy with a bag over his head. He looked fine.

"Oh thank the gods, Leo." Jason said. Percy handed the books over to Octavian, and they released Leo. He stumbled forward, and Nico caught him.

"Leo! We're so sorry we…" But Nico trailed off, He took off the bag to reveal…

"You're not Leo." Nico observed.

"Yes I am." The boy said, sounding hurt.

"We don't know this person." Jason said. Octavian shrugged.

"That's not my problem." Percy, Jason, and Nico were furious.

"Where's the real Leo?" Percy yelled.

"I am the real Leo." The boy said. "And you do know me."

"What? No we don't." Jason said.

"Yeah. I'm the one who gave you that lotus flower stuff." He said. "From Hera."

"Wait. What?" Jason said, doing a double take. "Did you say Hera? Who are you?"

"I'm Leo. The faun."

"A faun?"

"Yeah." He pulled off his shoes to reveal hooves.

"And you sold us lotus flowers?"

"No. I gave them to you as a gift. From Hera."

"I should have known Hera was involved in this." Percy hissed under his breath. "She probably wiped Leo's mind and left him on an island in order to stop a war with some Egyptian demigods or whoknowswhat."

"Speaking of Leo." Nico said, turning his sword on Octavian. "Where is he?"

"I don't know. He wasn't with you when we kidnapped Leo." He said. "The faun."

"If they don't know where Leo is, then we better get to finding him." Jason said. "It's been over a day, he could be in trouble."

"Fine. Let's go." Percy said. He climbed onto Festus. Nico and Jason followed.

"What about me?" Leo the faun asked.

"He could be useful if he has information on what Hera wanted." Jason said. Percy pouted but gave in.

"Oh fine." Leo the faun smiled and hopped on board.

"Just keep the lotus flowers to yourself." Jason said. As Festus took off, Leo the faun thought of something.

"Not to be that guy…but um did you actually give that guy the Sibilus Books?" Leo the faun asked.

"First off, Sibylline Books. And no. Those were fakes. We wouldn't actually give Octavian the books. By the time he figures it out, we'll be long gone." Nico said.

"Oh. Thank the gods." Leo said.

"Why do you care?" Percy asked.

"Uh. No reason." Leo said, not suspiciously at all. Percy glanced at Jason and Nico who were thinking the same thing.

"Okay. Moving on…So where could Leo be? The uh…not faun Leo." Percy said.

"He was with us when we met Tyche." Jason said.

"But he wasn't when Octavian kidnapped Leo. The faun." Percy said.

"Leo, when did Octavian kidnap you?" Nico asked.

"Hmm. Well it was the next morning, because I was told to check up on you by H-I mean by no one." Leo the faun said.

"Did we go anywhere after we lost the books to Tyche?" Percy asked.

"I don't know." Jason said. "But maybe if we go back to the hotel we could find another clue."

"Or maybe we could just ask Hera." Nico suggested. The anger in his voice was very blatant. Leo the faun sensed it.

"You know, I'm sensing some resentment."

"We're just a little frustrated right now, and we haven't slept in a few days." Percy said. They landed outside the hotel. The three demigods were deathly silent as they walked towards the room. Leo the faun felt very awkward. The awkward tension rose as they went into the room and locked the door.

"Alright…Leo. Tell us why Hera sent you to give us the lotus flowers." Percy demanded.

"I'm not really supposed to say…I-I mean I don't know what you're talking about." Leo the faun lied. Percy just stared at him for a moment, and Leo broke.

"Alright! Alright! I was sent by Hera to give you the lotus flowers because Hera wanted you to steal the Sibylline Books and you refused to do it otherwise and…" He put his hand over his mouth just in time to see Hera scowling at him from behind the three demigods. The three boys saw the fear on Leo the faun's face and turned around.

"Hera!"

"Percy. Jason. Nico." She greeted them coolly. "You three want answers? Seeing as this faun has failed me, very well. You see, Octavian had stolen the Sibylline Books. I knew that they must be retrieved in order to avoid a clash between the two camps. I brought you four to Las Vegas to intercept the First Cohort on their return to Camp Jupiter. But you refused to help because you thought I had ulterior motives. So I sent this faun to give you the lotus flowers so you could be more easily persuaded. I had the faun tell you that the flowers would send you home. And then I wiped your memories so you would not remember my interference and the other gods would not be angry with me for interfering. Although that didn't work." She said, and looked at Leo the faun. "But it seems the rest of my plan worked because the Sibylline Books are now in your possession."

"You drugged us so we would steal some books?" Percy asked.

"If you put it like that…"

"Okay, so Hera has bad plans. But where's Leo?" Jason asked.

"Alas. That I do not know." Hera said.

"He could be anywhere in Las Vegas!" Percy exclaimed.

"Wait a second…Las Vegas?" Nico asked. Percy glanced at Nico in confusion.

"Uh. Yeah. We're in Las Vegas."

"That reminded me. That guy yesterday morning. Some people just can't handle Las Vegas. And the flaming mattress?" Nico said.

"Yes. We remember." Percy said.

"Is this really important right now? If we could continue, may I please have the Sibylline Books?" Hera asked. But Nico ignored her.

"Las Vegas windows can't open. It's a policy or something. So the flaming mattress must have been thrown off the roof! It was Leo!" Nico yelled. "We must have been playing a prank on him or something and brought his mattress to the roof and then forgot about him!" Percy and Jason stared at him, their mouths hanging open. The next second they were running to the roof, Nico behind them, and Hera screaming from the hotel room. Leo the faun took the opportunity to escape Hera's wrath and ran from the hotel. They threw open the door to the roof.

"Leo!" They searched the roof.

"…Guys?" They heard a familiar voice grumble. Leo crawled out from underneath a small shadow. He was really sunburnt and was stumbling around deliriously.

"I'm pretty sure I have heat stroke." He said. The other demigods embraced him.

"Gods, Leo. We were sure you were dead." Jason said.

"Okay okay. So now that you've found your friend, can I please have the Sibylline Books?" Hera asked, impatiently.

"Do you mean, these Sibylline Books?" Percy asked, holding up a small stack of books. He held them out over the edge of the roof. Hera gasped.

"You wouldn't."

"I might. I figure it could be nice to not have a prophecy looming over our heads for once." He said.

"But how will we predict disasters and apocalypses?" She asked.

"We won't. But we also won't be able to manipulate people, trying to predict the prophecy." He said, and then let go of the books. They disappeared over the edge, and were torn apart by the winds. The papers fluttered across the desert.

"Whatever happens, happens. It's time to write our own destinies." Percy said. Hera looked furious.

"I will not forget this Jackson." With that she disappear in a puff of peacock feathers.

"Ouch. You're going to regret that Percy." Leo said.

"Oh well. I'm just sick of the gods manipulating us because of prophecies."

"I can understand that." Jason said. "Come on Leo, let's get you some water."

As they started back downstairs, Percy stopped Nico.

"Nico…"

"It's okay. I knew this was coming, although, that doesn't make it hurt any less." Nico said, anticipating what Percy was going to say. He stared at the wedding ring. He had gotten used to it and didn't want to take it off.

"Nico, I really do like you, and despite everything I had a fun time today." Percy said. He sadly took of the wedding ring. "But I'm not ready for this level of commitment."

Nico looked sadly at the ground.

"It's alright. I understand."

"But we could take it slow. Maybe go on a second date?" Percy asked. Nico smiled.

"Second date?"

"I figure this counts as a first date. Minus Jason." He said, then he yelled over his shoulder at Jason and Leo who were hiding, "And I see you two taking pictures over there!"

Jason sheepishly went back inside. Leo gave Percy a thumbs up.

"Anyway, so what do you say?" Percy asked.

"I say yes! Just promise me one thing." Nico said, suddenly getting serious. "Let's never ever come back to Las Vegas."

"I can agree with that." The two boys headed back inside, to find Jason showing Leo the scrapbook he made for Percico.

"How'd it go?" Leo asked. Percy just laughed.

"Seems you're feeling better. Let's head home." He said. The four boys hopped on Festus.

"Well…What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." Leo said jokingly.

"Do not make me throw you off this dragon." Nico said, completely serious. With that the four boys started home to Camp Half-Blood.

I hope you enjoyed it! REVIEWWWWWW. Also, I have some more ideas for Percico stories and Heroes of Olympus, so stay tuned! Same bat-time, same bat-channel!
