A/N: Meh! I just tried uploading chapter 11 and is telling me I have a "problem or error" with my document it's like NJSDGHJGBMFDHKJGHF.

I've been working fast lately. Bursting with inspiration! Plus, Jack and Gina and Anthony and Nina and Aiko's breakdown are all making great filler. Poor Aiko.

I'm listening to music and I swear I just heard the singer say "I HATE THIS SONG."

I miss having Adrianna narrate.

Nina POV

I don't know how long I stayed just outside Camp Half-Titan, sitting on a rock, before Aiko, surprisingly, came to find me.

"I'm sorry," she said simply.

I looked up, bewildered. "You're sorry? For what?"

"Well, I'm sorry it bugs me that Anthony likes you so much. I don't have a right to be upset."

"He doesn't like me. He hates me."

"Liar."

"No, really, he said it."

She looked surprised. "Really? Anthony?"

"Yeah," I grumbled. "Why's that surprising?"

"Anthony's never hated anyone before. Never." She sat down beside me. "I don't know whether you spied on us or authorized them freeing Kronos or anything, but I do know that my older brother thinks you're amazing, and that's good enough for me."

I wanted to contradict her, but inside sighed and stood up. I held out a hand to her. "Friends?"

She took my hand and pulled herself up. "Friends." Then we heard someone coming up and she turned around.

"Hi, Anthony!" she exclaimed. Then she noticed the pretty redhead next to him – she looked really small compared to him. "Hi, Adrianna."

"I told you she would be here," Adrianna said, with an eye roll.

Aiko's face fell.

"I'm talking about you, so don't get your panties in a bunch." Adrianna rolled her eyes again. "Sorry. I'm tired today. A lot on my mind…" She looked at Anthony. "Before you two start another bawl fest, can I borrow your baby sister for a sec?"

Anthony shrugged, so Adrianna stalked off with Aiko in tow, leaving me, once again, alone with Anthony.

It's a conspiracy, I tell you.

"Do you know what Adrianna needs Aiko for?" he asked. "They're an odd pair to be making secret plans."

I shrugged.

He grinned. "What, are you not talking to me now or something?"

I frowned, and just to prove him wrong, I said, "I'm sorry I made Aiko cry."

He shook his head. "She made herself cry. She's really stressed out."

"About me."

He shook his head again. "About me, actually. I'm a rotten brother."

"You're a rotten person."

"Thanks. That makes me feel better."

"You never told me if you really thought I was pretty or not."

"Yes, I think you're pretty. Happy?" he snapped.

I smiled. "Yeah. I mean, thanks, I guess."

Awkward. I wished I had never asked. I sat back down on my rock, and he sat next to me.

"Do you really hate me?" I asked.

He frowned and thought for a bit. "I'm not sure."

I scowled and pushed him off the rock. "Well, leave me alone, then, if you hate me so much."

He stood up and brushed himself off, grinning. He loped off in the direction of camp. Aiko and Adrianna came back up the hill. Adrianna looked around and glowered.

"Where'd he go?" she asked.

"He left," I replied.

Aiko jogged to catch up with her brother. Adrianna regarded me carefully and then said, "He's a mess, that poor kid. He's never had to work to get a girl." Then she hurried after Aiko. She didn't get far before she turned around and called to me, "Hey, you want to come find Gina with me?"

We found Gina in the Hyperion cabin, face down in her pillows with a box of tissues and a pack of cookies beside her. Katy was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking concerned.

"Is she okay?" Adrianna asked.

"Go away, Adrianna," Gina said, her voice muffled.

"Aw, Gina," Katy began, but Gina cut her off.

She pulled her face out of the pillows to glare at Adrianna. "I said go away."

"Gina, you look awful!" I exclaimed. Her makeup had smeared, and her mascara had leaked in thin lines down her face. Not to mention that her eyes were red.

"Not news to me, Neens." Oh, not her, too. "I said get out, Adrianna."

"Look, Gina," Adrianna snapped. "This whole mess is your own fault."

"Adrianna," Katy pleaded.

Gina's head fell back onto the pillow. "I don't have the energy to argue with you, Adrianna. Can you do me this one favor and just leave me alone?"

Adrianna contemplated that for a second, then left without a word.

Gina rolled over and stared at the ceiling. "I've decided that my life is officially over."

Katy frowned. "Aw, Gina, you know he still loves you to pieces. One stupid thing isn't going to change that kind of thing. Just apologize."

Gina exhaled. "It's not that easy, Kate." Then her voice went cold and dead. "I've decided how my life will play out. Since I have nothing left to live for, I'll change my name to Gigi, run away to New York, and become a stripper."

Katy rolled her eyes and looked at me, amused.

Suddenly Bellatrix – the little witch staying with Senka and her sisters - poked her head in the door. "Hey Katy, Gina"-I noticed that my name was excluded-"Ker's providing comic entertainment. Come and watch."

I had never seen anyone as angry as Keres Maria Cabot was while she provided "comic entertainment."

"How could you not tell me?" she screamed. Bunny was looking very frightened indeed while Ker towered over her.

"I didn't know the incantations or anything," she protested weakly.

"No! That's bull. You were afraid. What could you even be afraid of?" Then she rose her voice again and turned on Jack and Gina. "And you two knew about this?"

Jack opened his mouth to reply, but Gina tapped his shoulder and shook her head.

"What's going on?" I asked Katy.

"Not sure," she said.

Anthony disappeared from Katy's side and appeared at mine. He didn't have to bend down to whisper in my ear, which clearly annoyed him. "Well, Hades asked Ker if she'd spoken to Freddy yet. Ker flipped out on him, thinking he was kidding, and when he told her how children of Hades can speak to whatever ghost they want to, well… let's just say she's not very happy with Bunny."

"Why?"

"Because when Bunny was little, she was good friends with a son of Hades."

"How did Jack and Gina know?"

"Jack's dad knew the same son of Hades, and Gina can repeat every story Jack has told her, backwards and in her sleep."

"It never worked out right for Nico," Bunny continued, in the same desperate voice. "All he got was a ghost friend and a guilty sister."

"She knows she's wrong," I murmured to myself.

"Yup," Anthony said in agreement.

"I wasn't talking to you."

"You – should – have – told – me," Ker snarled.

"What was I supposed to tell you?" Bunny said pleadingly. "Hey, Ker, I know this thing you can do, but, oh, I don't know how?"

"We could've figured it out! I could just ask my dad, for Zeus's sake."

"Oh, like you would go to your dad for anything!"

"If it would let me talk to Freddy, I would. You know that, Bunny."

Bunny sighed and glanced at Hades, who I hadn't noticed was standing a few feet away from her. "Alright, Hades, time to cash in that favor you owe me."

Hades scowled. "I don't owe you any favors."

Bunny grinned and winked.

Nick POV

The creepiest thing about the whole incantation/sacrifice/summoning thing was that Ker was good at it. She stumbled over the first few words Hades had told her (which were in Ancient Greek) but then she really got into it, and seemed to be almost in a trance.

Yeah, okay, so a pit filled with Coke and French fries wasn't exactly creepy. But when the creepy ghosty things started gathering to drink, then it got creepy.

"This is way freakier than I ever imagined it," Bunny whimpered. She was practically hiding behind Hades, with just her head poking out so she could keep an eye on the spirits.

"Hey, ghosties, lay off," Ker snapped, pausing her chanting. Some of the ghosts backed away at her command, and the others paused enough for one form to drink at the pit and take shape.

Only it wasn't Freddy.

"Well, well, Bunny Parker," the girl said. "I haven't seen you for a long time. You're looking well, considering your age."

Bunny stepped out from behind the god of death and cleared her throat.

"Don't I recognize you from somewhere?" Nina said suddenly, cutting Bunny off. "You look so familiar."

The girl nodded. "Thanks… you took care of my little sister after she lost her mom, didn't you?"

Nina nodded, and Ker took a step back, evidently having realized who the girl was.

"Like I was about to say," Bunny muttered. "This is Her Highness Bianca the Selfish."

Bianca snorted. "Yeah, right, Bunny. You left my little brother to die, and I'm the selfish one."

"I left him to die? You-"

"This is Bianca di Angelo, right?" Anthony interrupted.

Bunny and Bianca nodded, and Anthony went back to explaining things quietly to Nina, who looked utterly confused, and she wasn't the only one.

"What's going on?" Ker snapped. "This isn't Freddy, obviously."

Bianca smiled at her little sister. "Sorry. I needed to clear something up for you guys." She nodded her head towards Bunny. "She is a coward. She's a liar."

"I didn't lie about anything," Bunny protested.

Bianca grimaced. "You misled them. What did you say again? Something about Persephone splitting you two up, and oh, poor Nico? Yeah, like that happened. You ran away because you're a coward, and a cheat. You deserved to be stuck in the Underworld for all eternity."

"Like my help would've done any good! Me and Nico versus a goddess? You're delusional, Bianca."

"Bunny, if Persephone had killed a daughter of Apollo and a son of Hades, she would have started a war, and she couldn't afford to do that. A son of Hades, she could afford to kill him, because she knew Hades wouldn't start a war with her." She paused. "And then, you were so afraid of me that you tried to put off Sunshine as some sort of reincarnation of me rather than have Ker call me up for advice. Come on, Bunny, I only met Percy like, twice, and he still knew me enough to tell his son that I wouldn't try for rebirth."

Bunny crept back behind Hades.

"Yeah, run away again!" Bianca shouted. "You would. Just go crawl away behind your friends. You're weak, Bunny." Then she looked at Ker and grinned. "Hi, Ker! Wow, Persephone must hate you, doesn't she?"

Ker nodded. "Can I talk to Freddy now?"

Bianca smiled sadly. "Later, okay?" She turned to Jack and her grin lit up her whole face. She seemed very cheerful for a dead girl. "Jack Chase, you look so much like your father, it's almost scary."

"Yeah, I get that a lot," he muttered.

Bianca laughed. "I'm sure you do. Anyway, it was great meeting you all. Nice to see young half-bloods keeping the world from imploding in on itself, I guess. Say hi to Percy for me, if you get the chance. Thalia, too."

Jack nodded, and Bianca disappeared.

A/N: Okay, that chapter was kind of short compared to the last two, and I would've put a more dramatic ending, but the only endings I could come up with were way too much like Rick Riordan's ending to Bianca's first reappearance after her death.

SHE'S SO OOC I WANT TO EAT MYSELF. Gina's back into character, though. You know, except for the random bitchy dumping episode. Poor Jack. He's so sweet and earnest and… ditzy. I love ditzy characters.

My friend, the lovely and talented (and Gina-hating) Doggerkiddie, began writing a "fanfic of a fanfic" for HMPWI and HTTRI (I just call it SEQUEL OF HMPWI because I made the title in a hurry and I hate it.) So, I took a quote from her fanfic-of-a-fanfic and wrote an alternate ending to the fanficofafanfic.

Gerbil (speaking to Gina): What, have you finally realized how amazing and gorgeous I am?

Gina: YES.

Jack: D:

Gerbil: LET'S GET MARRIED.

Gina: YES!

Jack: D:

I love the way I imagine his face in that scene. Just like, "GINA, NO!" tehehe.
