Percy's POV
I got my stuff inside the tent and before I knew the sun was already setting
"We should lit up a fire" Connor said
"I'll go pick up some wood" Rachel said "Tyson, Matt, are you guys coming?" Rachel asked them
"Sure" Tyson said and the three went to look for wood
After an hour, we had set the fire up and some of us were sitting around it; all of us were holding some red cups that Rachel had given us
"What are you drinking" Matt asked Nico looking into Nico's cup
"I don't know, Rachel gave me the cup. What are you drinking?" Nico asked as he looked into Matt's cup
"Hum, I don't know… Rachel also gave me this cup" he said and they started giggling
After that I got up and went to look for Rachel
"Rachel" I said "Rachel"
"What?" she said not even turning around preparing more drinks
"What is this?" I asked holding up my almost empty cup
"Hmm, I don't know... I poured all the alcohol I could find in my house and cranberry juice" she said as she giggled "Why?" she innocently asked
"You what?" I asked raising the tone of my voice "Why would you do that?" I asked
"Don't you feel… less worried?" she asked
"Hmm, sure… I guess" I said
"And probably kind of numb?"
"Yes, actually"
"Here, drink this" she said as she changed my cup for a full cup
"Okay" I simply said and went back to the fire
I sat down beside on the ground and look into the flames
"Hey" I heard Katherine's voice as she walked over
"Hey" I replied "Come here" I said as I pointed the place in front of me
She smiled and walked to sit between my outstretched legs in front of the fire, I got closer to her and kissed her cheek while I hugged her
"Hey guys" Rachel said but no one seemed to notice "Hey" she said again standing in front of us
"What?" Nico asked looking at her
"What if we finish this cliché night by playing a cliché game?" she asked
"What do you mean by cliché game, Rachel?" Tyson asked
"Truth or dare" she whispered for suspense
"Okay" a few of them said and the ones missing came to sit around the fire and now a bunch of demigods, a satyr, a nymph and the Oracle of Delphi were sitting around the fire and drinking some of the thing Rachel prepared
"I'll start" said Thalia "Matt" she called in a funny tone "Truth or dare?" she asked
"I'll go for truth" he said
"Okay, so… what happened between you two guys" she said as she pointed Katherine
Katherine coughed "You guys can't be serious" she said as she laughed "you really thought there was something between us?" she asked
"There wasn't?" I asked
"Of course not" she whispered turning her head around and smiling at me
"No, there wasn't" Matt assured "Ok, so now's my turn, right?" he said "Connor"
"Dare!" he answered
"I dare you to… why don't you kiss Travis" he said and we all started laughing
"You have to be kidding me" Connor said
"You can't chicken out" Nico said
Connor stood up and walked towards his brother, he then leaned his head towards his brother's and he barely pressed his lips against Travis, he was about to pull over when Nico stood up and pushed Connor, making him fall on top of his brother
"What the fuck di Angelo?" he asked as he quickly stood up but Nico just laughed
"Hu, is this funny Nico?" Travis asked and Nico nodded
"Well not anymore, Nico… truth or dare?" Connor said and suddenly Nico stopped laughing
"Ah, ah... Dare!" he finally said
"Hmm, bad choice, don't you think Travis?" Connor asked
"Yes, I believe so" Travis answered and smiled
"I dare you to burn all of your clothes… and you're not allowed to get others"
"What?" Nico yelled "All of them?" he then asked
"Let him keep his underwear" Travis whispered
"Okay, you can keep those, but only those" he said with an evil look
Nico gave a frown but pulled off his shirt throwing it into the fire, next came his pants leaving a almost naked Nico in front of everybody
"Great job Connor" Travis said as he clapped his hands
"Thank you, Travis" he said as he got back to his place
Nico sat down uncomfortably beside Katherine and I and he just looked like he now would rather be with his father than with us
"Hmm" Nico cleared his throat "Rachel" he said "Truth or dare?" he shyly said
Rachel smiled and answered "Truth"
"Do you still have a crush on Percy?" he asked as Katherine tensed up in front of me
"Ah, I… arg, Nico!" she yelled
"Just answer the question" Matt said
"Yes" she whispered, and then Katherine stood up and walked away "Genius" Rachel said as she also stood up and followed Katherine
I looked at Nico with my most hateful look "Why?" I asked him
"I…" he started "I don't know"
