When Nico finally got back to the apartment (after sending some skeletons after the Stolls for painting a giant M on his cabin's walls with the words "Happy Meal King" under it), he found that Percy was hosting a full-out party. WHich he'd forgotten to tell Nico about.

Typical Percy.

Nico took one look at the scene (which was just a giant group of swim team jocks watching each other arm wrestle while music blasted), he decided to ggrab som e cookies, then go back to Percy's room and lock the door and stuff sweaters or blankets around the cracks to drown out the noise.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

The moment he stepped into the hallway, one of them (a buff guy with a shock of blond hair) yelled out, "Yo Perce, who's the goth?"

Nico groaned and tried to go back to the room, but instead someone grabbed him and brought him into the living room. Someone else turned off the music, and everyone looked at Percy for an explainaton.

Percy looked equally confused. "Um, guys, meet my cousin, Nico. Nico, these are some of my swim team buddies. Nico kinda sorta lives here right now." he explained.

Nico shook himself free of the hand, walked over, and punched Percy in the face. "I got to Camp to drop off some people and I come back to find out that you're hosting a party. WIthout telling me. Does your mom know?"

"Yep. I..sorta thought you were...um..maybe sticking around camp to hang with that bo-" Percy got a slap to the face this time. Nico was pretty sure he'd given his cousin a nosebleed by now, but he didn't care. He was livid.

"Perseus Jackson! More then one person lives in this place and if you don't remember, there's school tomorow!" He practically screeched.

Percy gave him puppydog eyes. "Aww, c'mon Neeks-"

"Don't call me Nees, Kelp Head!"

Percy threw up hishand (the one not holding a tissues to his nose). "Hey, look, sorry NIco! I would've IM'd you but-"

"Save it for later, Fishhead. I'm going to go lock myself in your room and take a nice long nap. Or go to MDonald's. Try not to die." Nico snapped, storming back down the hallwa and leaving via the fire escape.

Percy's P.O.V.

"Woah, dude. Your cousin has some seirous anger management issues." Aaron winced after Nico had left.

"H's good at holding grudges." "But he's not the worst, my cousin THalia would literally probably start screaming at me at the top of her lugngs or a full 10 minutes, while slapping and punching me, then maybe shock me a few times." He got himself another tissue.

"Seriously?"

"Yep. OR worse. Proabbly worse. Or she'd just join in. Hard to tell with her."

"So...about this camp..." one of the of the other guys changed the topic after a moment of stunned silence.

Percy shook his head. "SOrry, man. Still reserved for kids with ADHD, dyslexia, oand the like."

""I feel sorry for his cabin mates and his counselor." Sabrina shivered.

"Actually, he's the counselor of his cabin and the only other person in there is his half-sister Hazel, and she's only part-time. But I do feel a little sorry for the cabins next to him, and for cabin 7 too, I"m I'm pretty sure that if he wasn't dating their head counselor they would've kicked him out of their table and the infirmary by now." Percy chuckled.

"Wha-" Aaron started to ask, but Percy cut him off.

"Anyone want cookies? I think Nico forgot."

THere was a mad stampeded for the kitchen, and all talk was forgotten.
