Let the Games Begin (May the Odds be ever, in your favor)
Everyone had arrived as planned. Percy's parents were ok with letting us hang out at the house while they go on a long date. Now it was time to get the game into action.
Percy and Annabeth were sitting together on the couch talking about this and that, while Frank told Hazel the plan.
"Wait, why do you want to set my brother up with Leo?" Hazel asked, shock apparent on her face.
"I think that they may like each other, weird right? If you saw the scene I walked in on, well, you wouldn't have a doubt in your mind about it." Frank responded, avoiding eye contact as he shuddered at the thought of Leo and Nico in the position from before.
Leo, after making Nico change out of the dress, arrived. Instead, Leo settled for having Nico on a leash, spray bottle and everything included. If there were questions, no one dared ask directly.
"So, whose up for a party game?" Piper inquired.
Percy changed his attention from Annabeth to ask, "What kind of game?"
"I was thinking Truth or dare" Piper said in a mirthful tone.
One by one, all the demigods decided to play. Hazel went first,
"Leo, truth or dare?"
"Dare" Leo answered boldly.
"Alright, hmm... I dare you to... preform an entire comedy skit from one of your favorite comedians." Hazel wanted to be cautious and not let them catch on too fast to their diabolical plan.
Leo preformed a skit about a sneezing Atheist, by some man named Dane Cook. He said something about it being the first one to come to mind. Now it was Leo's turn to ask someone, he looked around before settling on Frank.
"Frank, Truth or dare?"
"Truth"
"damn it..." Leo, looking forward to a dare, mumbled, "fine, what is your most embarrassing childhood story?"
Frank seemed to blush slightly and replied,
"When I was little, my mom took me to a home improvement store, and well I didn't know the toilets on display were not for use... so..." Frank didn't need to finish for us all to understand what probably happened. The group burst out laughing; Leaving Frank to wonder if this was all gonna be worth it in the end.
"I was five!" Frank tried saving himself but the damage was already done. Defeated Frank figured now was as good a time as any, "Leo, truth or dare?"
Leo looked surprised for a moment,
"aren't you suppose to not ask the person who just went?" Annabeth asked a bit confused.
"No one said we couldn't." Frank muttered in response, Hazel giving him a weary look, almost saying 'not yet Frank', her eyes flashing worry. Frank decided against getting revenge then and there.
"Fine, then Nico, truth or dare?"
"Dare." Nico replied without hesitation, it was almost unnerving.
"Alright, I dare you to... act like an animal of your choice till you are called on again"
"How original Frank.." Nico muttered, "meow..."
The eyes of everyone in the room widened, Nico, the scary underworld kid, decided to act like a kitten. Piper couldn't hold in her comment,
"that's so cute!" she squealed.
Nico hissed in response, but was quickly sprayed with water by Leo,
"bad kitty" he said mockingly.
"Something tells me Nico is gonna be a little more like 'Grumpy Cat' than anything else." Percy joked.
There was a slight giggle before the group decided to move on.
"Hazel, truth or Dare?" Nico asked looking to his sister.
"Turth" She replied, looking dignified she didn't have anything to hide.
"Will you and Frank ever get married?"
Once again everyone's eyes widened. Percy almost saw a glint of the 10 year old Nico, who asked everyone a bunch of annoying questions, but was still happy with his life. It gave Percy a bit of heart ache.
"My, that's a good question." Hazel replied, still trying to get over the shock, "well, if it all works out, then maybe..." she said, growing a little distant in the conversation as she actually thought what being married to Frank would be like.
"Hazel? Hazel! HAZEL!" Frank tried getting her attention, by the third time yelling her name, she snapped out of it.
"Sorry, um, Annabeth, truth or dare?"
"Truth" She responded.
" What about you and Percy, will you two get married someday?"
Before Annabeth could answer, Percy cut in,
"Definetly." he said smiling.
Annabeth smiled too, as she pecked him on the cheek.
"Jason, Truth or dare?" Annabeth asked.
"Truth" he replied, seeing as he didn't really have anything to hide.
"Do you miss Camp Jupiter?" she asked.
That question pulled on Jason's heart strings, of course he did. He remember the beautiful streets of new Rome, he Legion, and Reyna. He looked over to Leo, then Piper, both their eyes held a sadness, that maybe they kept him from his home.
"I do miss it sometimes, but Leo and Piper, I couldn't live without them." He hugged Piper close to him.
"Leo, truth or dare"
"Dare, do you even need to ask?" Leo smiled.
"Alright, I dare you to... Play with Nico-cat"
Leo and everyone else looked at Nico, but Nico was only glaring at Leo, Daring him to even try to do anything.
"You're kidding. Jason, how do I play with a cat that looks like it's about to make me it's next meal!?"
"I don't know, pet it, make it chase something. I don't think Nico will bite" Jason responded.
Leo started to approach when Nico started to growl,
"Nice kitty, just let me pet you..."
Nico was already starting to back away, if he had claws, well, the scratch he gave Leo when he tried to reach over and pet him, would be a lot worse.
"Oww! You are having fun with this aren't you?" he yelled as he rubbed his hand, then he turned to Piper, "Kiss it better?" he made a puppy face to add emphasis to his joke.
Piper leaned over and kissed his hand, "there now it's all better" she said through a fit of giggles.
Nico sat smirking in the corner. Leo got up, now determined to pet Nico.
"here kitty kitty..." Leo said as he walked over to him.
"Leo, when you say it like that, it sounds like something from a horror movie." Percy remarked.
Leo laughed, "trust me, it could turn into one if this kitty keeps it up",
then unexpectedly, Leo lunged forward, landing on Nico.
"Ha! I've got you!" Leo smiled.
Nico squirmed around, even getting to the point where Leo had to pin him down, one hand holding his arms above his head, while he sat with one leg on either side of Nico's waist. Leo used his free hand to scratch Nico behind the ear as though he were a cat. It actually felt really nice, Nico closed his eyes and without realizing, started to purr. They sat that way for a while, until they heard a camera snap. Nico's eyes opened wide in shock and he looked over to see Piper with her phone Camera out. Leo also looked up too, and quickly got off of Nico, a slight blush littering both their faces.
Piper averted eye contact, "sorry, good photo opportunity.
Frank whispered, "see what I mean guys..." everyone in return nodded.
Leo got up and walked toward the group, "ok, my turn. Percy, truth or dare?"
Percy had a cocy grin as he replied, "Dare."
"I dare you to make Piper delete that photo she took of Nico and I." Leo smirked.
Piper looked devastated.
"No!" she got up and ran into a bedroom and locked the door.
She only came out after she had sent it to herself over email and saved it to her computer and other devices did she allow Percy to delete the one one her phone. Percy took a few minutes, but eventually deleted it. Percy looked into the crowd to find a victim
"This is gonna be fun" Percy said with a mischievous grin making its way to his face.
