Chapter 10 UNEDITED
Dresses, Fights, and Sickness
Percy grinned as he got off Mrs. O'leary. He and Leo had a onder two days of school so far. But today wasn't school it was dress shopping day. If all worked out they'd leave with three dresses.
"Hey Leo," greeted Cecil as Leo and Percy walked up to him. He gave Cecil a quick kiss before pulling away and telling Cecil everything about school. Percy all the while looked around for Nico.
"Hey Cecil where's Nico?", asked Percy.
"He said he'd be a little late. Something about Helping Will," said Cecil before turning back to Leo. Percy frowned. What could be so important that Nico would miss seeing Percy. It made Percy jealous. That was until arms qrapped around Percy's waist and started kissing Percy's neck.
"Hey Neeks," said Percy smiling.
"Hey. I have to go with Chris and the Stolls to look for suits today," said Nico, though unlike Percy he didn't look happy about it.
"Aww you poor thing. I get to go dress shopping," said Percy looking like he won the lotto. Nico shook his head smiling at Percy's enthusiasm.
"Seaweed Brain are we ready to go," asked Annabeth as she, Piper, and Clarisse walked up to them.
"Yep we are ready and will most likely be a couple minutes early for our appointment," said Percy.
"Okay let's get this own," said Clarisse like she didn't care. But they knew she was nervous. That even she wanted the perfect dress.
"Nico Chris and the Stolls are waiting for you by your cabin," said Piper before they left. Nico nodded and turned towards Cecil.
"So I've been putting this talk off for a while because we're friends. But since Leo is like a close friend of mine I have to tell you this. You can't ever hurt him. You do that and you'll be dead," said Nico. Cecil nodded.
"How do you know your in love," asked Cecil.
"When you would even chose that person over your family. Or when you know you'd die for them. Or that they make you forget everthing else but them," said Nico.
"I'm in love with him," said Cecil looking down at the Campers and Romans working together.
"And I'm in love with Percy. Funny how things work out," said Nico before walking off. Maybe everything would be alright. he would tell Leo his feelings. And around Christmas he'd make sure they'd spend forever together.

"C'mon Annabeth, Piper. It's one in the afternoon. I'd like to get this done," said Percy. Percy and Leo had already found a wedding dress for Clarisse. She said it reminded her Silena so she tryed it on and loved it. Annabeth came out in the dress that Clarisse picked out.
"It looks wonderful," said Leo.
"I like it," said Clarisse.
"where's Piper," asked Percy.
"Right here," said Piper leaving the dressing room.
"You both look great," said Clarisse. And she wasn't kiding. They looked nice and she thinks it would look great with her own dress.
"So you want to great these ones," asked Percy.
"Yep lets go pay," said Clarisse as she noticed the two girls go back in the dressing room to get chagned. When they came out the went up to the counter and put the dresses on there.
"That will be 5000 for both those dresses and about 3000 for that dress. 8000 in total," said the person. They were all surprised when Percy pulled out enough Hunreds for 9000.
"Keep the change," said Percy picking up the dresses with the help of Clarisse and left with the others following.
"Where did you get all of that money," asked Annabeth as they got into the car.
"I've been saving up. I have about 12000 left and probably going to get more. I've always wanted to go to collage so I work during fall, winter, and spring. It's a fun job. I help kids with dyslexia learn how to read at their own pace and help them understand that theres nothing wrong with needing a little help," said Percy leaving the rest stunned.
"What did you want to go to collage for," asked Piper.
"I want to be a language arts teacher," said Percy.
"That sounds fun," said Leo. They pulled up to a Burger King and got out. Though when they got out Leo puked everywere.
"Are you okay," asked Percy bending down to Leo who was hunched over as if he was going to puke again. Which he did. Leo then stood up.
"Percy can you take me home," asked Leo.
"Back to camp or to my place," asked Percy calling Mrs. O'leary.
"Your place," said Leo.

"Chris that suit looks fine," Nico said for the tenth time in an hour.
"Are you sure?", Chris questioned again.
"Yes Bro. You look fine," said Travis. Conner thought it was weird how Chris wanted them to be his best men. They hadn't done a lot of things together for a while. They were never really close. Then again most of Chris' closest friends were dead. So Conner didn't say anything. But he could tell Travis thought the same thing.
"Okay," said Chris unsure. Nico sighed. Chris had been like this all day. Wanting everything perfect so Clarisse would love it. But now they were done. They were about to go back to camp when Nico got an Iris Message from Percy.
"Hey Nico after you get them back to camp can you come to my place. I wanted to tell you something. And I need your opinion," said Percy.
"Alright. I can do that. See you in a little bit," said Nico. He disconnected and turned to the guys. They all held on while Nico shadow-traveled back to camp.
"Be careful Nico. You know if you shadow travel to much Will will get mad that you're draining yourself," said Conner before Nico left. He arrived at Percy's place and scared Sally and Paul.
"Nico what brings you to visit," asked Paul.
"Percy asked me to come," said Nico.
"They're both in Percy's room," said Sally smiling softly at Nico while Paul glared. Nico nodded, said a quiet thank you, and went to Percy's room. When he opened the door he saw Leo sitting with his head in a bucket while Percy was behind him.
"Nico great. So Leo here is pukeing left and right. I told him what I thought was wrong and his head hasn't left his bucket at all," said Percy.
"Well what did you think was wrong?", asked Nico.
"I thought that he might have a small cold at first then it came to me. I would have realised it early if he was a child of Posiedon. But I think he's pregnant," said Percy.
"Wait what?", asked Nico, who became very confused, Very fast.
"I said I think he's pregnant," said Percy like it was coomon knowlegde.
"I got that part I'm talking about the Posiedon thing," said Nico. Percy blinked.
"Children of Posiedon can get pregnant. That's why I said that if he was my half-brother I would have figured it out faster. I also decided that we are going with him to see Will tomorrow," said Percy.
"Okay. Not hte weirdest thing I've heard. That's probably why my dad isn't mad that we're together. He probably expects us to make him a powerful army," said Nico. Percy now looked confused.
"A powerful army?", questioned Percy.
"Well you know. Two kids of the big three having kids togther and possible making the most powerfu kids ever. Would make a great army. At least I think that's how my dad thinks," said Nico.
"Will you stop talking about your happy future. What happens if I am pregnant and Cecil doesn't want it or me," said Leo takeing his head out of the bucket to glare at the two idoits.
"Listen Cecil is one of my closest friends. He would never leave you or the baby. Beside I had a talk with him yesterday and he admitted that he could see having a future with you," said Nico. Leo looked at him dead in the eyes which made Nico want to look away.
"Really," asked Leo with hopeful eyes.
"Really," said Nico and Percy. Even though Percy wasn't there for that conversation.
" Will you two stay?", asked Leo.
"Sure thing little fire bug," said Percy. They all fell asleep shortly after that.

"Jason I can't go to that movie tonight," said reyna. This was the tenth date she had to cancel.
"But why," asked Jason.
"Because frank said there was something we needed to go over to find a New auger and he doesn't want to do it himself witht he old one," said Reyna.
"You always to this. You never have any time for me. for us," said Jason.
"It's my job. I have to do this for the peoples sake," said Reyna.
"What about your sake. You've lead this camp though thick and thin. They shouldn't need you anymore. When was the last time we hung out. I remember the day after coming back from Camp Half-Blood," said Jason.
"I still have to finish this year before I can step down," said Reyna.
"You kow that's not true. At All. I know you've been thinking about stepping down and giving your spot to Gwen. So why don't you," asked Jason. His voice getting louder.
"I don't have time for this," said Reyna walking towards the door.
"If you do this I won't be here when you get back. I won't come bak until you have time for Us again. If there ven is an Us," said Jason making reyna pause before she continued out the door. When the door shut Jason started crying. He dicided since he hadn't seen his other friends in a month he would go visit them. He called upon Tempest hoping he would come. And come he did. He hoped on Tempest and told him to go the Camp Half-Blood.

Hey everyone so we're getting closer to the ending. I did want to say that once this is over the squeal is not going up right away. I have to get all one-shots in between the first and second book done first.
Okay so next chapter will have both Clarisse and Leo going to see Will. Leo telling Cecil and something happens with that one. Also Percy and Nico get drunk and they do something they shouldn't. Next chapter should also be one of the longest.
