A/N: Hey everyone. Sorry for the long, horrible wait. I had some family problem. And, of course, my writing block. I dislike the block. Now here is a new chapter. I hope you all enjoy it. I am also debating on either to continue on From the Sky or not. I am going to continue the others but that one, I have trouble on how I should continue the story. I'll stare at my draft and nothing comes to me. So I don't know. I may discontinue it. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this. :3

Disclaimer: I do not own any characters, only the story plot is mines.


Nico hand the paper to Will. He watch him look over it before giving it back. "I still don't understand the problem," Will says.

Nico groan. "I'm not explaining myself for the bazillion time Will," Nico responds. Will may be smart but he's horrible in math.

"UNO!"

Both cats look over to the group of both cats and dogs playing UNO together. Which is really a rare sight to see. A dog name Leo, slam his last card on the pile before taking all the candy to himself that they all gamble for that fourth round. His fluffy, dark curly tail wag. The others groan and dump their cards on the table.

"He's cheating!" Thalia yells.

Reyna stood from her seat as she points at the dog. "Strip dog," she commands. The others watch the doggy's expression turn nervous.

Leo wave his hands in front of them. "Come on, I didn't cheat," he nervously smile to them.

Another cat jumps from her seat, name Piper. A friend from Jason. "You're hiding the cards. I know you a little too well."

Nico sees his little sister Hazel, who's sitting next to Leo, scoots away from him. Closer to a big dog name Frank, who scoots closer to Percy. Percy in responds pat Fank's head. Nico don't really talk to the big doggy and he doesn't really talk; Nico like the fact that Frank keeps a nice distance from the girls. Unlike Leo, who loves to get really close to them.

"He was mostly putting down the green cards," Frank deep voice came out. Nico also found out that whenever Frank does talk, it's either to Percy or to mess with Leo. Leo send a 'really?' look to him. Frank shrugs. "He could have gotten them on purpose when he shuffle the cards."

Leo points to Frank. "Hey! That's just plain mean." Frank just shrug.

Somebody snap their fingers in front of Nico just when the cats tackle the poor pup. Leo starts laughing. "Stop it girls! That tickles!" Everyone moves away from them. "Jason! Help!" For some reason, he's really close to Jason.

Nico look back to Will. Will smile. "Finally you came back. Thought you never were." Will chuckle as Nico sticks out his tongue. Will shove his math homework to Nico. "Is this right?"

Nico look over the problem. Somebody sits besides him. "Yeah, that's right." He hands it back. Will smiles at the fact he finally get the answer. "You need help on your homework too?" Nico look over to the person besides him.

Percy shook his head. "You already help me in class. I just want to see what my little kitten is doing." Percy raise his hand to Nico but pull it away. That's only because Nico can see Bianca and Will glaring daggers at him and by Nico's guess, Percy can probably feel them stabbing.

Nico huff. "As you can see, I'm helping Will with his math homework while I try to read." Nico grabs the bookmark from underneath his book and slap it in between the pages. He close his book. He notice that once Percy have his attention on Nico, he won't stop bothering him. Nico turn to Percy, giving all of his attention. "So what is it?"

Percy smile. "I just want your attention. Thank you for giving it to me." Nico can feel his face heating up. He looks away from the dog. "Aww, you're blushing. Let me see. I want to see how cute you look." Nico kick Percy off the bench and went back to his book.

He is not dealing with this dog's silliness. Ever since yesterday, everyone have been watching the pair. Both teachers and students. Nico hates the attention he is getting. Why did he say yes in the first place?

Should have rejected him.

Grover pats Percy's head. "You're okay Percy." Nico open his book and continue reading.

Percy gets back on the bench. "Sorry," he says. He sits back next to Nico. Percy doesn't say anything. Which is good. Nico can finally focus on the book.

The noise from the table of both species gets louder as they start another game of UNO. Nico can perfectly hear Leo yell, "I have doggy biscuits!" In which Percy perks up from his spot.

Percy turn to Nico, tail wagging. "You don't have to ask me," Nico says. "I'm not your owner." Nico turn a page. Percy bounce off the bench, peck a kiss on Nico's cheek and set himself in the next table. Nico can feel his face turn pink. "Be quiet Will." Will hum.

"Nico," he look over to Bianca, "we got to go. Its almost time for us to make dinner." Hazel stuff all her candy she won at the beginning into her bag before zipping it. Nico stuff his book into his.

"See you tomorrow Will," Nico wave bye. Passing by Percy, Nico pats his head.

It's quiet between them three as they walk through the school to the front. Nico likes quiet but this is awkward and scary. Even from Bianca.

"So," Hazel cut the silence, "Percy have a really bad blackeye. How did he got that?" She pop a jolly rancher in her mouth.

"Reyna punch him yesterday for sitting in her seat," Nico reply. Bianca snicker.

"How did that look like?" Bianca question.

Nico punch the air in front of him. "In one fluent motion that came out of nowhere." Both Hazel and Bianca guffaw. The little black cat himself couldn't help to smile. "No talking nor warning."

They laugh for a bit.

"So why?" Bianca question.

"Why Reyna punch Percy?" Hazel respond.

Bianca shakes her head. "No." She look at Nico. "Why agree to a dog? He isn't even a big breed and you're not comfortable around them."

Nico sigh. "You can easily say it's teenage rebellion. Or that everyone else didn't let me answer rightfully so I answer the opposite." Hazel ears fold back. "I'm sorry. It is my responsibility for going out with a dog."

"Could have said no and maybe go out with a high breed cat," Bianca says.

"Like Jason, he's a lion," Hazel respond.

"Or Will. A leopard," Bianca scoff.

Nico let out a heavy sigh. "I get it. Just don't tell dad."

"Of course not," both sisters say at the same time.

"We could have told him yesterday," Hazel says.

Bianca open the gate to their house. "We didn't want to see how mad he'll get." Both Nico and Hazel nervously laugh as they hurry to the house.


Percy runs into his home with a bag of treats.

"Dad!" Percy sees him in the livingroom grading a stack of tests. He jumps on the couch next to the older dog. The dad bounce a little from the action. Percy wave the bag of treats in front of his dad's face. "I've got doggy biscuits!" Percy's dad laugh.

His dad look up to him from the tests. "And what is the reason for you telling me?" His voice relax and smooth as he talks.

Percy smile broadly. "So we can share." Percy open the brand new bag and hold them out to his father. He's so glad that he won this from Leo. Even seeing the little doggy's face after the loss is a huge prize to win.

Percy's dear old dad scratch his salt and pepper head. "Okay, but I'm not eating a lot. This will spoil my appetite." He reach in and grab a cookie. Percy watch his dad eat the biscuit. He hum. "This is delicious. What flavour is it?"

Percy look at the bag. "Strawberry and banana." Dad nods. He reach in for another one.

"Go ahead Percy, eat one."

Percy's smile turn nervous. He squeeze the bag softly. "You sure dad?"

He nods. "Yes. It won't be like that time. As long you eat them slowly -not all at once- you will be all right. Right Sally?"

"That's right." Percy turn around to see his mother walk in the room. She sits herself down next to Percy. Sally reach into the bag and grab a biscuit while rubbing her seven month pregnant belly. "Just eat one for now. It won't hurt you."

Percy's smile goes back to his natural easy smile. "Okay, only one," he mostly tells himself. Percy reach in the bag and grab a cookie.

He always love to eat doggy biscuits. Percy wish to eat them all day, every day. Except he did try to when he was younger. Percy ate two whole bags within less than a hour. Any dog child who did this would be hyper and wild from the sweet biscuits they have eaten. Not Percy. Percy immediately start throwing it up in five minutes , wishing he didn't eat those delicious cookies. He have been taken to the family doctor in the hospital and gotten his stomach pump. He learn to eat them slowly, one at a time, or his stomach wouldn't take it.

Percy still get a little nervous when it comes to doggy biscuits. Even though they are delicious.

Percy place the bag on the coffee table, beside the stack of tests. His dad reach for it. Sally's foot came to view and push the bag away from his reach. "You already had two, Mr. Paul Blofis. You are going to spoil your appetite."

Percy chuckle at the pout Paul gives. "Aww, c'mon Sally. One more." He wiggle his fingers toward the bag.

Sally laughs. "No. Go back to grading." Paul nods and obey. Percy pats his father's back. "Hand me the bag sweety." Percy gives her the biscuits. She starts eating them. "Food is almost ready sweetheart. We are having lasagna." Sally scratch Percy behind the ear.

Percy lean in to the touch. "Yum. Lasagna." His tail wags, hitting the couch behind him.
