Woo! I'm was so thrilled when I saw how many reviews I had! I like flipped! You guys are great.

Nico: And the disclaimer for today…

Me: Hold on, I'm doing the tally at the beginning real quick. It's still even. Also, if you've already voted I can't double count your vote. Since I can only get an even number of votes on the reviews I'm putting a poll up on my profile. I'm leaving the poll up for like four or five more chapters(about a week) and will be counting by that.

Nico: Also the alternative for if we still get even votes is asking her friend to pick. I figured I'd throw that in.

Me: Yep, now to the disclaimer then the story! Thanks for your lovely reviews and patience.

Nico: Alice-meets-Flamethrower does not own me, the Underworld, Hermes, Hades, Persephone, the title "Ghost King"(that's mine!), Olympus, Thalia, Artemis, Aphrodite, Percy, Annabeth, Bianca, or the PJO/HoO series!

Before I could find Truth, I had to figure out where she was. Since Hermes is extremely hard to come across, I went to the easiest god to get to. My dad, Hades. Getting to the Underworld was the easy part, getting an audience with the king of the dead was the hard part. It seemed the dead don't want the Ghost King to see his dad much. Go figure who saved me.

"Let the boy through." I was saved by a girl, even worse it was Lady Persephone. "Follow me Nico. I'll take you to your father."

"I thought you hated me," I said as I jogged to keep up with her. She was fast for a girl(alright, Thalia and Artemis would kill me if they saw I thought that!).

"I can still kill you boy, don't tempt me," she growled.

I shut up. Until I realized it was summer. "Aren't you supposed to be in Olympus? It's your months off, right?" There was no way Persephone would choose to be in the Underworld, with my father no less.

The flower goddess sighed. "Yes boy, but Aphrodite convinced me to come down," she smiled at me. "Said I couldn't miss the chance to help along a love story."

"Love story?" Her smile was wiped away as soon as it came. What was I missing here?

"Nothing boy," she said. Persephone looked up, at the doors to my father's "study". "Let's get this over with." She shoved the doors open. "Hades! Get over here!"

My father appeared in front of us. "Ah, the beautiful Persephone! My wife, have you come for a visit?" My father seemed not to notice me.

Persephone rolled her eyes. "Of course not Hades! In fact, I'm leaving once I'm done with my bidding for Aphrodite," she sneered. The goddess pushed me forward, my father finally seeing my presence. "Your son is here. I'll be waiting out there when you are ready to leave Nico." The doors slammed as she walked out them.

The dead lord turned to me. "What do you want?" He snapped. Dad's obviously made that his wife is only here because of some bidding she has to do for me.

No, I'll just lie and leave. I can't piss off my dad, he'd the only family I have left. "Nothing," I muttered. Hades growled. Don't back down, that was Bianca's voice. You're right sister, I can't back down, he'd just our dad. I took a breath I didn't realize I needed. "Why'd you force alí̱theia to stop hanging out with me?"

A laugh escaped my father's mouth. "Why? You dare question me boy?" Be strong Nico, be strong. I nodded. It was then that he realized I was serious. He sighed. "It's because she would ruin you, boy. Let her be a friend or girlfriend she would ruin you. Nico, that girl, alí̱theia, she may be immortal but she is far below you!"

That, in all said, pissed me off. "So you took away the only freaking person who actually was willing to be my friend and wasn't afraid of me! You thought making my life, and her life for a matter-of-fact, miserable would help?" I'm and idiot for yelling at a god but it's the only way I'll get across to my dad.

"You miserable boy! You think she is worth your time?"

I nodded and cut him off. "She was just trying to be nice dad! Truth was always trying to be nice! She knows how everyone seems to avoid us, you know how people avoid us! Truth has been alone forever and she didn't want us to feel like it either!" I yelled. I don't care, she'd my friend and I'll protect her. I'd do this for any of my friends, Annabeth, Percy, Thalia. I'd help them all, just like I'm helping Truth. "alí̱theia is my friend, whether you want it or not! So, I'm not going to let her be alone forever! Goodbye dad!" I turned and pushed through the black marble doors, storming over to where I saw Persephone.

My dad didn't say anything as he saw me walk up to his wife. "I'm guessing you wanted to take me somewhere?" I asked the goddess, judging from what she'd said earlier.

"Yes," Persephone said. "Aphrodite wanted to speak with you so I'll bring you to Olympus." She looked over my shoulder. "I'll leave you to it." She took a few steps back.

"Nico," I turned to my dad. "Just don't make a stupid mistake. I lost your sister, I refuse to lose you."

I nodded. "Thanks. Persephone, I'm ready to go if you are willing to take me."

The flower goddess nodded. "I don't have a choice anyways," she said, with the roll of her eyes. "This may hurt a lot." Persephone laughed. "Now EYES SHUT!"

As she changed into her true divined form I could almost see it through the slits in my eyes. There was a tingling feeling in my gut then a heat blast on my face. Sad to say, next thing I knew I'd passed out, because everything was blacker than normal.

I liked this chapter. I think I got a nice father-son moment, or the best Hades could do.

Nico: I don't know. I don't think I've ever seen dad that nice before.

Me: Shhhh! It's fanfiction! Also, I know this isn't really a diary entry anymore but I can't help it! I have to write like this or I'll completely screw up! Thanks for reading and all the reviews!

Nico: Review and don't forget about the poll! Thanks our readers!
