A/N: Ok, I'm back and I'm doing better. I know I said I'd be back by May, but I wrote that in the heat of the moment. I'm doing a little bit better.

Plus, I really wanted to write this!

This is the first story I'm updating since the hiatus. So, yeah ^.^

No school Monday! That's probably why I'm so happy….

Anyway, enjoy! Love you and thanks for dealing with me!

P.S. Hmm, I say at least 2-3 chapters left before going on to the sequel. ;)

Lemme know in a review what story you want next :)

Chapter 9

The Like Disease

"Nico! What the hell are you doing?!" Reyna yelled as she entered Percy's apartment. Hazel walked in right behind her. Hazel hugged her boyfriend and said hi to everyone else.

"Uh...thinking about raising a zombie from the dead to eat Grover's face off." Nico laughed nervously. He was the son of Hades, but that didn't mean he couldn't be a little afraid.

Especially if it's Reyna.

"We're reading Fanfiction. People made up these stories about-" Percy was interrupted by Reyna's glare.

"I know what Fanfiction is." She brought her attention back to the son of Hades. "Why would you read it after….that story?"

"What story?" Clarisse asked in a annoyed tone. "We've been hearing about the worst kind of story on Fanfiction. Tell us already!"

"You're not ready." Nico said. "None of us are."

"Um," Hazel laughed nervously. "I'm lost. Uh, what's Fanfiction?"

Before Frank could say anything, Leo intervened. "Fanfiction is this website where people can write stories about their favorite shows, books, movies, etc. You're the author and can make the characters do outrageous stuff. For example," Leo pointed to Annabeth and Percy.

"Annabeth fell in love with Percy's evil brother and then Percy had sex with some chick."

Hazel's golden eyes widened as she stared at her best friend and his girlfriend. "Percy, you have a brother?!"

"No, I don't. But, the person who wrote it made it where I do."

"Oh," Thalia snickered, "Grover and Percy were making out too."

Grover's face turned bright red. "Thalia, stop bringing that up!"

"Anyway, I say we read another one. We are already in too deep. Reyna, Hazel, will you join us?" Nico asked as he looked expectantly at the two Roman demigods.

Reyna rolled her eyes and sighed, "Fine, but just for one story. I refuse to go through that type of torture again."

"Who's choosing and reading the story?" Clarisse asked.

"I'll do it." Annabeth's voice broke the silence. She had threw her voodoo dolls aside (actually hit Octavian in the face with them) and moved to the couch where she took the laptop and began scrolling through the stories.

"Ok, it's a Thalico story. Are you guys ready?" She asked.

Everyone in the group said yes. The pressure was high. Sweat beaded everyone's eyebrow as they waited for Annabeth to start the story.

Title: Black and Blue

Author: Brony2321

Summary: Thalia Grace was the freak at the school. She is emo, has no friends, and has a awful, painful past.

"I'm not emo! What the Hades is this?" Thalia yelled.

But, then she meets the popular boy Nico di Angelo who has a few secrets of his own too. THALICO. Minor Percabeth.

"This story is not gonna turn out well." Reyna muttered. She looked over at Nico whose face was bright red. Oh yeah! Thalico is the couple name for Thalia and Nico. The two demigods had read a Thalico story once and she remembered how embarrassed he had gotten.

"It sounds like something out of a romantic movie." Rachel gushed.

"Then someone will die at the end." Grover said. "Juniper forced me to watch so many Nicholas Sparks movies."

"What's your favorite?" Annabeth asked.

Tears built up in Grover's eyes and he began to sob on Percy's shoulder. "D-Dear J-J-John! That movie-! OHMAGAWDS!"

"Um, Percy?" Annabeth looked at her irritated boyfriend.

Percy sighed and picked up Grover like a baby. "Ssh. Let's go lay you down." Percy attempted to get up but the weight of Grover brought him down. Percy face planted on the floor while Grover hit his head and began to cry even more and spazz out.

Clarisse, Jason, Octavian, Annabeth, Leo, Frank and Thalia busted out laughing at the scene in front of them. Leo wished he had a phone to record this on.

Oh, wait he did.

Nico and Reyna chuckled lightly and commented on what idiots they were. Piper, Hazel and Rachel were both trying to hold in their laughter. Eventually, Percy, along with Jason, put the sobbing Grover in his room and returned to the living room.

"Annabeth," Percy rubbed his head. "Please read the story. And make it quick."

"Ok." Annabeth said.

Chapter 1

Emo

Thalia Grace was Emo. She hated life, listened to depressing songs, and wrote dark, haunting poems.

"Are Emo people really like this?" Leo asked.

"Some are like that." Reyna answered.

Thalia hated her dead beat father. Her mother. Her little brother.

"Damn, you are a depressing little thing aren't ya?" Jason nudged his sister. Thalia glared at him.

"Shut up! Why do people think I'm Emo?" She questioned.

Because she hated life so much, she cut her hair short.

"Wow, this author is relentless." Piper commented.

But, her life brightened up when she met Nico.

"Aww!" All the girls, even Clarisse ( who is allowed to act girly sometimes!), said. Nico's face was a even brighter shade of red.

He really did hate Fanfiction.

It was after school. She was sitting on the steps writing a song about flowers dying.

She hated flowers.

"This author is using way to many Emo stereotypes." Annabeth said. Thalia was gritting her teeth and not saying a word.

In fact, Thalia actually enjoyed flowers.

When she was on the last line, someone tapped her on the shoulder. She looked up to see the mean, popular girl of the school, Piper, smirking at her.

"Really? After getting bullied myself, why would I do this to someone else?" Piper said.

Her two cronies, Hazel and Reyna,

"Cool! I'm in the story too!" Hazel cheered. Frank rubbed her shoulders.

"Trust me, it gets worse."

-were there with her. Hazel pushed Thalia down the steps. "What, like, a, like, freak!"

"Totes!" Reyna agreed.

"Wait, what? When do I, like, talk like that?" Hazel realized her slip up and she buried her face in her hands. "Stop making me, like, say like!"

"Don't worry. It'll, like, go away." Clarisse said. Then, "Oh, I, like, did not, like, say like! Damn you Fanfiction!"

"I totes agree." Reyna said.

"I, like, totes, second that." Leo smiled.

"What is, like, wrong with you, like, losers?" Octavian asked. "Ah! Make it, like, stop!"

"It's spreading like-NO! I refuse to, like, say like!" Thalia yelled.

"Like, calm down. We gotta totes finish the story." Percy said.

"This is totes what Fanfiction does to our, like, brains! It's twisting our, like, reality."

"But, we gotta finish. Since I have not, like, said like once." Annabeth said. She realized her slip up and sighed. "Shit…"

Piper, Reyna, and Hazel both snickered. "OMG, she's, like, on the, like, ground."

"This author made us out to be, like, dingbats." Piper said.

"Well, the author is totes a Brony, so what do you, like, expect?" Nico replied.

"Hey, what are you guys doing?" A boy walked up to them. He was handsome and had black hair and piercing dark eyes. He was wearing all black also with a skull necklace on. He was tall.

"Damn, I sound, like, sexy." Nico beamed.

"Nothing, Nico poo poo huggy swuggles bear." Piper smiled innocently.

"The fuck was that?" Jason asked. "I never got, like, a annoying, cute nickname like that."

Piper giggled and snuggled closer to Jason. "Ok, my boo boo snuggy wuggy-"

"SHUT!" Clarissse yelled as she paused midsentence for dramatic effect. "The fuck up. Gods, you two need to go plow each other, like, now."

"Plow?" Rachel asked.

"You're choice of words are, like, funny." Percy laughed.

Before another argument could ensue, Annabeth continued reading.

Piper called her two cronies together and they walked off. Nico held out his hand to Thalia. "Here, let me help you."

Thalia reluctantly took his hand. A burst of energy surged through her. She felt alive again. No more did she feel completely sad.

They had a connection.

"What? Thalia, you, like, met him, like, five seconds ago." Percy chuckled.

"Well, that story is over with. I think we can all agree it sucked." Annabeth said. She had enough sense to be immune to the "like disease".

What story is next for the demigods?

BRONY – A male between the ages 18 and 40+ who are MEGA FANS of the TV Show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

A/N: Like usual let me know! I'll try to update again this week. No promises though.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter! ^.^
