Nico

Nico Di Angelo as hanging out with his boyfriend, Will Solace, his best-friends, Reyna Avilla Ramirez-Arellano and Jason Grace and his half-sister, Hazel Levesque at the front of their school, waiting for Nico, Hazel and Jason's cousin, Percy Jackson, to get there.

Hazel was scrolling through her phone while the rest of them spoke about random things like school, colleges, and jobs.

Nico was leaning against Will's shoulder while Reyna, him and Jason talked about what college they were going to with Nico only chiming in a few times.

Nico turned to his sister to ask a question when she suddenly perked up and grinned.

"What did you find?"

"I found a cool quiz that tells you what Disney character you are! Do you guys want to take it?"

Jason, Reyna and Will all nodded at her question and Nico just shrugged instead of nodding. He didn't particularly care about quizzes like that, but Hazel seemed excited, so he went along with it.

"Okay I'm going to go first!"

"Are you sure you know how to work it Haze?" Jason said to Hazel as a joke since she wasn't the best with technology.

Hazel rolled her eyes fondly a little bit and nodded.

"Yes Jason, I'm sure I know how to work the quiz." Hazel stared down at her phone and proceeded to take the quiz.

After around a minute or two, Hazel looked up to the rest of the group.

"Okay I finished! I just have to click finish and then I'll get the results." Hazel looked back down at her phone then she showed the results to everyone else.

"I got Elsa!"

Jason, Will, Reyna and Nico exchanged looks and then nodded at the same time.

"Okay I can see that." Will said that Hazel.

"Okay Neeks, its your turn now." Hazel offered Nico the phone, but he shook his head.

"I already chose who I am."

"Who are you then?" Everyone in the group jumped when someone said that from behind them and noticed that Nico and Hazel's cousin and Jason's half-sister showed up out of nowhere.

All of them just decided not to question it so Nico answered the question.

"Ariel."

"You're a guy."

"Exactly. A guy who doesn't stick to your stupid gender roles."

Nico could tell that they were not expecting that to be his answer. Thalia just stared blankly at Nico for a while before shrugging and nodding.

"Alright, makes sense. So, I'm either Mulan or Pocahontas." Thalia looked around the group, daring them to challenge her on what she just said.

"Okay anyways, Prince Charming, Elsa. Kelp head is waiting for you guys in the parking lot, he's been here for a while." Thalia pointed at Jason when she said Prince Charming and Hazel when she said Elsa.

Jason and Hazel nodded and walked out together. Thalia turned around to leave but then looked back at them to say something.

"You too Ariel."

Nico blinked at Thalia and sighed. "Am I going to be called that now?"

"Yup. Now come on mermaid man."

Nico and Thalia headed over to the parking lot in search of Hazel and Jason, with Nico being quiet and Thalia thinking up some other nicknames that were somehow related to Ariel and mermaids.
