Beginning Notes

So yeah, here's chapter 3. Wow you guys, I wasn't sure I'd ever enjoy writing fanfic, but you know? I actually like it. Hope you guys like my work as well. As usual, all characters are owned by Rick Riordan. And I am so going to flunk all my test if I keep writing this much... oops.

Nico's POV

Well, this sucks. Jules-Albert (my zombie driver, yes, I have one, long story) explained that we had two flat tires and there was no help nearby. 'Leo?' I asked. 'I'm sorry, I know I'm awesome, but I can't fix flat tires. And that's just stupid. The son of Hephaestus who can make and fix anything, except a stupid tire!' 'Hey, it's okay, calm down, we'll just have to, uh, spend the night here until there's help, I guess,' I said. 'But won't we attract monsters if we stay here too long?' Piper asked. 'Nope, as long as we stay in the minivan, nothing can happen. Let's just say, Leo made a little upgrade.' said Jason. 'But shouldn't we Iris Message Reyna?' Annabeth asked. 'Good idea, does anyone have a bottle of water?' Percy asked. 'I have,' Will said, handing him the bottle. Percy unscrewed the cap and made little water drops float around in midair. He made them float out of the minivan, and into the sunlight. Piper fished a drachma out of her pocket and said: 'I'll do it.' 'No, Calypso's scent is the weakest, she should do it,' Annabeth explained. Piper handed Calypso the drachma and Calypso went outside.

Wills POV

So, what do eight bored demigods do when they're stuck in a minivan? They play tag. In the minivan. I'm not kidding. Leo got his way and we all played tag, until Percy tried a grand escape and whacked his head on the roof of the van. 'Bro, you okay?' Jason yelled. 'Don't worry, it won't damage his brain,' I said. 'Besides, there isn't much, but seaweed to be damaged,' Annabeth said. Percy rolled his eyes. 'Thanks doctor Chase, I feel so much better.'

After that we did a round of Truth or Dare. Nobody was interested in the dares, and everyone had stories to tell with each truth, so it ended up being more like a Story Time.

'Okay, so this one time, I was climbing in a tree, and there were just a lot of trees around. I felt all mighty and thought I could jump from tree to tree like Tarzan. I tried. And then I fell.' 'Did you find a Leo shaped hole in the ground when you got up?' Percy asked. 'Seaweed Brain, you idiot, that's only in cartoons.' 'Isn't Tarzan like a cartoon movie?' 'An animated movie, but that's beside the point. Leo was ten, you on the other hand, are seventeen. Grow up would you?' Annabeth argued. ''Hey Solace, you haven't shared your most disappointing childhood memory,' said Piper. 'Oh, um, let me think, okay?' 'Yeah, sure.' 'So, it was when I discovered that brown cows don't produce chocolate milk.' 'Thank the gods I wasn't the only one that believed that,' Calypso sighed. I continued my story: 'My mom and I were milking cows, and that night I lay in bed thinking: what if brown cows give chocolate milk? And the next day I told all my friends at school. Some believed me, others thought it was stupid, but my heart was full of it. I had never tasted chocolate milk before, and if I could just get my mom to let me help the farmers milk their cows for a day, I'd finally know the loveliness of it. I convinced my mom, I helped the farmers and I milked some brown cows. But there was never any chocolate milk.' 'That's so sad,' Jason said.

'Wow guys, look at the sun!' Calypso said. 'What do you mean? I can't see it anywhere,' Leo said flatly. 'That's my point Repair Boy, it's getting late and I'm tired.' 'Yeah, me too,' Annabeth agreed. Everyone started swapping seats so all the couples could sit together and cuddle each other to sleep. I wish I could cuddle Nico to sleep.

About an hour or three later everyone was asleep. Percy was drooling on Annabeths shoulder, Leo had fallen out of his seat and was laying on the floor (not very comfortable or good for your back if you ask me), Jason was snoring loudly, his arm wrapped around Pipers shoulders, but I was still awake.

Skip to about two hours later, when I slowly feel my eyes starting to get tired, I can hear Nico twisting and turning next to me. I look over and notice that he's having nightmares. He could wake any second. I hope so. He shouldn't need this kind of suffering on his birthday trip. I stare at him and wonder: is it about Bianca? A warning from the gods? Tartarus all over again? My wondering is interrupted by Nico waking up. His eyes open in alarm and he screams.

End Notes

Chapter 3, wow, I am really getting the hang of this. (Definitely because writing English with Dutch auto correct is pretty damn annoying.) There will be one more chapter after this, maybe two, and then my first fanfic will be complete. Please review so I know what you guys think. See y'all in chapter 4. :) And stay in school.
