AN: EDITED

Chapter 10: Tricksters

Third person POV

Nico and Will had come up with a plan to get back at their friends. They just hoped Reyna would play along. Since tomorrow was Christmas they decided after talking for a while to pretend that they were avoiding each other. Hoping it would make the demigods nervous and guilty. After deciding their plan they went to sleep. Nico and Will in Will's room. And the other boys in the living room and the girls in the guest room.

Christmas Day:

Nico POV

Christmas day Will and Nico put their plan into action. When Will entered the room Christmas morning Nico went to the kitchen. When they had breakfast they sat at opposite ends of the table and did not look at each other. When it came time to exchange gifts they sat across the room from each other and did not give gifts to each other (They decided to give gifts after the others went to sleep so they could help the plan. They were okay with that though because then the gifts could be given in private.). The other demigods laughed at their gifts and thanked each other, but Nico could tell their plan was working. The other demigods all looked guilty and worried.

Reyna POV

Reyna was laughing on the inside at the devious plan the two had come up with and she gladly played along. Percy looked confused as to why they were avoiding each other. Annabeth was analyzing them, Piper looked guilty and sad because they had intervened like her mom does. Jason looked sad because her cared for Nico as a brother. Hazel was curious as to what had driven the demigods apart. Frank was trying to comfort Hazel and lighten the atmosphere. Lou Ellen looked like she had figured it out but was playing along. And Cecil was just trying to steal candy without the others noticing.

Third person POV

As the day dragged on and all presents had been exchanged the group and demigods sat down to watch a Christmas movie as the sun started to vanish in the sky. As the sun disappeared the demigods heard a noise from outside. They all grabbed their weapons. Nico with his sword. Will with a bow. Percy with his pen sword. Annabeth had her bone sword. Jason had a sword. Cecil had a dagger. Frank a bow. Hazel a cavalry sword. Piper had her dagger. Lou Ellen had a magic sphere. Reyna had a sword. Together the demigods made their way to the backyard. As one they lowered their weapons and froze at the sight before them. Leo had landed in Will's backyard on Festus with a girl sitting behind him. All of the seven ran to meet him. Reyna, Lou Ellen, Cecil, Will, and Nico hung back. The whole group was smiling and laughing. As they were all caught up with Leo and Calypso, Will and Nico quietly backed up and went into the house.

Leo POV

After getting Calypso of her island they had went back to camp only to be told that all of their friends were at a son of Apollo's house. So they flew as fast as they could to where Leo's friends were. Leo was overjoyed at seeing his friends again. He introduced Calypso and said "I went back to camp and nobody was there. They all said you guys were at a Will Solace's house. What did you guys replace me?" he joked making everyone laugh.

"No, seriously though who is this Apollo kid?" said Leo.

"He's right here-"Jason cut off as they all turned around to see that Will Solace and Nico Di Angelo had disappeared.

"Right where?" said Leo.

"They were right behind us a minute ago. Let's go find them" said Jason.
