"Just don't let go, okay?" I said.

Percy's eyes were wide with fear as he just learned that he would be shadow-travelling back with me.

"This isn't going to hurt is it?" He asked, his voice laced with concern. "Because I've seen you shadow-travel and it doesn't look like the most comfortable thing to do."

"Don't worry, it won't hurt, but I do have to warn you, it does have some…interesting effects on your hormones."

"What sort of effects?"

"The ones you would probably get while making out with Annabeth."

"Uh…Annabeth and I aren't together anymore."

I choked on the water I was drinking when he said that.

"What? Why not?" I said hoping my face didn't show how happy I was now that I had Percy all to myself.

"She found out about something that I had been trying to hide from her for so long." He said and while staring at something he apparently found interesting on his shoes.

"What did she find out about? Did she find your porn collection?" I asked.

"I don't have any porn collections!" He said defensively.

I laughed, "Relax Percy, it was a joke." I said as his face reddened. "But seriously, what did she find out about?"

"I don't really want to talk about it. It's not important." Something about the way he said this made me think it was important, but I decided not to push him about it.

"Okay, we can talk about later when you're not so upset about the break up." I said.

"No, I mean I don't ever want to talk about it. It's sort of embarrassing." He said and continued to look down at that spot on his shoes.

"Percy, I'm your best friend, you can always talk to me about anything. I know all of my embarrassing secrets so it can't possibly be that bad." Well except the part about me being in love with you, I thought guiltily.

"Oh yes it actually can be that bad. I can pretty much guarantee that it is much worse than any of your embarrassing secrets." I highly doubt that.

"Fine, be that way." I said with a small glare towards him.

"Don't be so immature." He said and stuck his tongue out at me.

"Really, I'm the immature one? You're the one who just stuck their tongue out at me!" I replied.

"Wait weren't we talking about something before?" He suddenly said.

I thought about it for a while and then said, "Shadow- travelling"

"Oh yeah. So…it messes with hormones."

"Yep." I said awkwardly.

"How far of an extant does it mess with your hormones?"

"Quite a bit."

"Oh," Was all he said.

"Well this is awkward." I said.

"Yeah, let's just get this over with." That kind of offended me.

"Okay, grab your stuff and then get behind me and hug me from behind."

He looked at me like I was crazy. "What? That's the only way I can bring somebody else through the shadows." That was a total lie, it was just to see how it felt to be close to Percy. I should feel bad about it, but I wasn't.

"Sure." He said unconvincingly as he did as he was told.

The touch made me shiver slightly and I prayed to my father that he didn't feel it.

We shuffled over to a shadow in the corner of the room and I gathered all my strength so that I could bring us both to camp. Suddenly the world warped before us and I could feel the familiar tingle in the lower region of my body. I could feel the effects of the shadow- travelling on Percy as his hard on poked my behind. I almost couldn't take this, it was a hundred times better than anything that I had ever felt while travelling alone. Almost as soon as it started though, it ended and we landed in Percy's cabin. We stumbled backwards and I fell on top of him and onto his bed. I quickly got off of him once I heard him groan. That groan definitely didn't help my little problem go away.

"Wow." Percy said, and he looked dazed.

"Told you."

"It messes with your hormones." I said.

His face immediately turned a deep shade of red and his hands flew down to his crotch to hide his bonar.

"Sorry." He said.

"Don't say sorry, it's not your fault." I said as I stared down at his hands willing myself to look away but not obliging to my thoughts.

"I'm gonna go see what Rachel's doing, I'll see you at lunch." I said as I walked out of his cabin leaving him red and a little frightened.

…OoO…

"Hah, you should have seen it, his face turned a completely different color. He popped a freaking bonar. Damn, shadow-travelling rocks!"

"Ewwww, Nico! I don't want to hear about your disgusting fantasies about him!" Rachel replied.

"How many times do I have to tell you Rachel, it wasn't a fantasy, it actually happened. I told him to grab me from behind and when we were travelling I felt the bulge through his pants." I said to a very disbelieving Rachel.

"Somehow I don't see Percy as the gay type." She said while looking at me skeptically. I grinned internally because I didn't yet tell her that those were the normal effects of shadow- travelling. She just thought that being that close to me was the thing that made Percy so horny.

"Well you thought wrong, I've been known to change a lot of guys' sexualities." I said with a smirk.

"Fine, ill just go ask Percy about his new found love for you." She said as she waltzed over towards his cabin.

"Wait! Come back here Rach, you know I was just kidding. Psh, like he'd ever fall for someone like me." I said.

"What do you mean someone like you? You're awesome. I wouldn't be your friend if you were anything less than incredible." She said with a fond smile.

To answer her original question I said, "Well, for starters, I have a penis."

Rachel's eyes grew wide, "You do?"

I smacked her on the arm as her expression of pseudo-shock took on one of amusement.

"Yes, would you like some proof." I said while fake-getting ready to pull my pants zipper down.

"Ewwwww." She said and shielded her eyes. "Please don't, I believe you, just please put it away. I'm pretty sure that would scar me for life."

"Gee thanks." I said, my voice dripping in sarcasm.

"Don't mention it." She said. "Seriously…don't…ever."

"So…that's it, you think that just because you are a guy that Percy won't like you? You have no idea, for all we know he's a huge closet case." Rachel said, trying to cheer me up.

"I highly doubt that." I told her and then we went our separate ways, me to my cabin and hers to the eating pavilion.

…OoO…

I walked as quietly as I could through the dense forest. I tried to retrace my exact steps from the last time I had been in the woods to follow the stranger that had been spying on me. I turned the corner and saw the huge tree house looming high above my head. I was excited to see what else the stranger had put in there since my last visit. I was about to climb up the ladder when I heard light footsteps. I turned quickly on my heel and dove for cover under a bush.

I gasped softly as I saw who came clambering down the tree house.
