A/N: Hello peoples. I had my first day of school today. It was long. But my math teacher's really funny and he reminds me of a ginger tenth doctor (he's adorable in that scruffy genius kinda way, you know?) and he's really funny. Also my Spanish teacher is really scary and hard to understand. So I thought to myself "I need some reviews to cheer me up." And so I update. Please enjoy and review!

This prompt came from candyland7 (and I really need to write my prompters on my list of prompts because it takes forever to find) and I realized I left out the part about Percy videotaping it, but I think it worked better this way so I hope you all like it anyway.

Disclaimer: I don't own PJO, TKC, FIM, or Antarctica. I do own Percy's middle name (as of now) and also the penguins. The penguins will forever be mine.

Please review!

Percy wanted to believe it was for Nico's own good. But really he was just as much a sucker for Aphrodite Cabin games of Truth or Dare as anyone else. And for some reason those games always seemed to end up having something to do with Nico.

It was actually Nico's fault that Percy started joining in on the cabin games in the first place. After the incident a couple months back when Nico had stumbled in on a Truth or Dare game and ended up revealing his greatest fears to the Aphrodite kids, Nico never entered their cabin (or his, for that matter), without Percy by his side, just in case there were any Smartie-eating penguins hidden anywhere.

After the incident, Percy started joining the Truth or Dare games with or without Nico with him. They were just fun.

This time around, Nico hadn't been with him, which was probably for the better because he would've refused immediately.

But if Nico had been with him, they most likely wouldn't be in Antarctica (and don't ask Percy how they got there because he wasn't really sure).

Percy immediately felt guilty once they'd arrived, because he hadn't really registered that Antarctica would be cold, since his invulnerability made it so that the cold didn't really bother him (A/N: Okay, there's no way that's a thing—Percy is not a gargoyle—although whoever makes that crossover will have my undying love and respect—but we're gonna pretend that's how Styx powers work so that I don't have to think up a better reason. I know. I'm lazy. I apologize). But Nico did not have that advantage. The son of Hades was wearing his aviator's jacket, as always, but that was nothing against the arctic chill. Nico's teeth were chattering and he glared at Percy while his lips turned blue.

"P-p-p-percy. Wh-whe-where are we?" Nico stammered, wrapping his arms around himself in a futile attempt to stay warm.

Starting to feel very guilty, Percy shifted uncomfortably. "I'm sorry, Nico. I didn't want to have to do this. But it's for your own good."

Nico frowned suspiciously. 'Wh-wh-what d-do you m-mean?"

Percy sighed and issued a loud taxi whistle that echoed throughout the icy glacier. For a good six and a half seconds, there was silence, and Nico stared at Percy in confusion.

And then, out of nowhere, came a sea of penguins, all hurrying to surround Nico. The son of Hades's dark eyes widened in surprise and fear, before disappearing behind the ocean of birds.

Again, there was silence. But not long after, Percy winced at the shrill sounds of Nico's screams.

"I'm sorry!" Percy shouted so his cousin could hear him. "But you had to face your fears!"

After a while, Nico's screams died down, and Percy worried that he'd escaped, or worse—been eaten by the penguins. "Nico?" the son of Poseidon called, just to be sure.

The penguins parted, and Nico slowly walked out, with three penguins on his back and two more hugged to his chest. He looked down, ashamed. "So, apparently penguins are really warm…"

Percy grinned. "So it worked? You're not scared anymore?"

Nico shrugged. "Yeah, I guess not. But we're shadow-traveling home, okay? I gotta make sure you don't try to take me to a Smarties factory on the way or something."

Percy laughed. "Sure, little cousin. Let's go home."

Still, Nico hesitated. "Can I keep the penguins?"

Percy sighed. "Sure, Nico. Of course you can."

Nico grinned. "Yay!" He started pointing to all the penguins, starting with the ones he was holding. "I'm gonna name this one Paul, and this one Felipé, and this one Annabeth, and this one Felix—after that weird kid at your DayCare, you know? Ooh, and this one's Apple Jack, and that one's Rachel, and I think I'll name this one Percy David Jackson the Third. Ooh, and this one's Rainbow Dash!"

Percy laughed as Nico continued naming his new friends ("Cecelia, and Apollo, and Richard Spaghetti, Jr."), and muttered, "Oh, Nico."

"OOH! THIS ONE'S GERALD!"

A/N: So, yeah, there's that. I hope you all liked it. Please let me know what you thought, especially about the penguins, because I think they're gonna end up being recurring characters (especially Gerald). Also, I'm gonna do a little thing because I feel questiony and helpful. If there's anything you guys wanna ask me, about writing tips, or my plans for future drabbles, or stuff about me (anything too personal I will simply not answer), or something about my weirdness you didn't understand, please let me know in a review. I'm in the mood to answer questions, so please let me help with anything. I will answer all questions in the next chapter, so if you don't want your question posted, just let me know. Anyway, thanks for reading, and please review with comments and questions. See you next time!
