Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson, thanks :D So this is supposed to be set after HoO, assuming all the characters I mention here don't die an agonizing death...
Lol this is kinda just me messing around and having some fun with my boys, Leo and Nico~ Anyways enjoy I guess. xD

Percy's POV

I looked over at Leo, and he shrugged. "Sorry," He looked up at the satyr like he was going to hurt him (Which I knew he wouldn't hurt a fly) "My bad."

A thin grin seeped on to Grover's face. He shrugged. "Okay." He looked over to me. "What's all this, Perrrcy?"

I laughed a little at the way he pronounced my name. "Party. Wanna join?"

Grover looked around. I would've said he didn't really know anyone there,as if Frank, Hazel, Jason and Piper were there, but they weren't, and he actually knew everyone except for Leo. I wonder if that made him feel left out? Thinking about it, for some reason, my life at Camp Half-Blood with Grover and destroying Kronos seemed like a whole another world from being in Italy on the Argo II with the other six from the prophecy. The only thing that was in both worlds was Annabeth, which I was grateful for. Having her there made me feel like the worlds were actually connected, and I wasn't just some delusional puppy with memories of two different people. (That's be crazy. I'm not THAT crazy, right?)

He smiled and shrugged. "Sure." He sat down about halfway between Nico and I, and Juniper, his girlfriend, sat to his left, on the side closest to me. I could feel Annabeth snuggling into my shoulder, with her arms wrapped around my middle.I tried to remember what me and Annabeth were like before we started dating. All I can think of is nerdy and awkward and she was taller than me half the time. We were better together, a couple, like we were two puzzle pieces that fit right into each other (That sounded sort of dirty..)I don't mean to sound sappy, but seriously. Honestly, If I had to choose someone to die by my side, it wouldn't be Jason or Frank, not even Grover. It would be Annabeth, no question.

I looked over and Leo was eyeing Grover and Juniper like they were aliens.I don't know what it was, he's seen satyrs before, and dryads. Maybe it was just the mechanical part of him, wondering how something as abstract as a goat-boy worked. Nico just sort of eyed them awkwardly. He and Grover never did talk much. Grover said he was dark and spooky, sort of sketchy.

"so," I said, to break the silence. "What's up in Nature land, Grove?"
I haven't had a proper conversation with Grover in so long.

He smiled. "Going well," He said, putting his arm over Juniper's shoulder. I looked around and realized everyone was kinda coupled up. Even Nico and Leo, who, weren't a couple, obviously, but still were bunched up next to each other. Thalia was sitting about parallel to where Grover was now sitting, seeming far away and distant, emotionally.

"Thalia." I said. She looked up, apparently zoned out." What up with you?" I quirked my eyebrows questioningly.

She shrugged. "Nothing, you guys are kinda boring."

Annabeth laughed. "You didn't think that when we were babbling about Hunters,"

"Correction," Nico added in. He's such a quiet guy I would've forgot he was here. "Leo was babbling about Hunters."

"I had important questions to ask," Leo defended, punching Nico lightly in the upper arm. He blushed and look the other way, not doing anything back.

"Nico," I began before I could tell my mind not to say what I was thinking, Nico looked up and I think his face might've flushed more. "Are you-"

A loud crash silenced me. Everyone looked around, trying to figure out what was happening. We heard a lot of screaming, like bickering between enemies.

Leo pulled out a big hammer and stood up. Nico paled when I wasn't looking and was shaking, but then looked up at Leo and followed his example, standing up and pulling out his sword.

I stilled, focusing my ears on the voices. After a few seconds, I recognized one as our oracle, Rachel Elizabeth Dare. I've never heard her so pissed. The other was high and swacky like a bird, but I couldn't quite make it out. Even though, I think Nico recognized it, and DID not like it. He sneered and rolled his eyes, whispering something to Leo, whose eyes brightened a little.

"Really?" Leo exclaimed. Nico nodded. Leo leaned in a bit then stopped himself. He blushed. "I'll be right back."

"Where are you going?" Thalia asked.

"To get our guests!" He winked at Nico-Wait, did he seriously just wink at him? Maybe he was thinking of winking at Thalia but didn't turn his head. Then he ran off, again, he was pretty fast. It reminded me of that super fast Mexican mouse in Loony Toons. Because that's exactly what Leo looked like. Just like that, Leo was gone. Nico looked like he was trying not to freak out. i guess he was getting pretty close to Leo, and being separated with him might've been hard. No, Nico's used to being alone, as sad as that sounds. But anyway, he wouldn't have been nervous just because Leo wasn't there. Slowly, he re-sheathed his sword and sat back down shakily.

"What was that all about?"I said after a few moments of silence.

"Beats me," Nico said, looking around absent-mindedly. I wasn't stupid, I could tell he was lying. You expect me to know someone for like 4 years-not that they were good years-And not be able to tell how they act when they lie? but I decided to change the subject anyway.

"What time is it?" I asked, not to anyone in general. Grover shrugged, because he had no watch, being all half goat. Thalia pulled out a watch, "8:24.."

"Oh, good," I grinned. "Only a few minute 'till everyone should get here." For some reason, this was pretty exciting. It kinda made me feel like, you know, a normal teenager. I've hadn't time for any parties before, I was too busy...you know, saving the effin' world? So yes, I felt like I was finally being like any other kid that went to the schools I was kicked out of, and It made me feel giggling and little-kiddish. Sue me.
