A/N Hi Peeps! I'm sorry for not updating. I was really busy. Nico job for the reviews. 5 reviews when I asked for 4. I actually was going to post this yesterday, but Snapple3077 was all like "You haven't updated in FOREVER! You need to update" So i waited a day before updating, just to annoy Snapple3077. So :P to you, Snapple3077. Sorry if it's kind of random.

Nico and Piper go to the candy shop and eat way too many candies. What happens?

Note: this is set in between Mark of Athena and House of Hades

Piper's day couldn't have gotten any worse. First, she had watched Percy and Annabeth tumble into Tartarus. Now, she had to go buy supplies with Nico. She didn't have anything against Nico, but she would have felt more comfortable with Hazel, or Jason. They wandered down the streets of a small town in Greece, awkwardly silent. "So… Uhh where do you think we should go?" Nico asked.

"Um… There's a candy store over there. Maybe we could get some candy to cheer everyone up"

"Suuurre"

As Piper and Nico walk up to the store, they noticed that everything seems overly bright and colourful, but they blamed that on the stress. They walked in, chose some candy, and paid for it using the money that Piper had found in her pocket. Her monthly allowance, apparently. Well, at least Piper could always count on Aphrodite to give her money when she needed it. Piper and Nico walked over to a bench in the park that was beside the shop. "So, should we taste the candy to make sure it's good?" Nico joked.

"Actually, that's a great idea"

"W-what? I was just joking!"

Piper was too busy stuffing her face with candy to reply. Soon, Nico had eaten a candy and joined Piper in the face-stuffing. Around 10 seconds later, the candy was all gone. "Wahh! I'm sad. I want more candy!" Nico whined. Piper looked at him weirdly.

"Are you okay, Nico?"

"Yes! Now gimme more candy!"

"Are you sure you're okay? You're acting weird."

"No. I'm not okay"

"Then what's wrong?!"

"I'm more than okay! I'm… CANDYLICIOUS!"

"Uhhh…" Piper started to back away from Nico. Then it hit her. (Not literally, that would have hurt) She remembered a myth about a monster that would eat children by giving them sweets that made them want more and more, causing them to go back, giving the monster the perfect chance to eat them (totally making this up here. Not a real myth. Or, I think it's not a real myth…) She was wondering why the candy hadn't affected her, when it hit her again. The sweets couldn't affect children of Aphrodite because of a certain ingredient in the sweet that did something in the somewhere (that I couldn't think of, sorry people!) She dragged Nico by the ear towards the store and tied him to a pole using a rope she randomly found on the ground.

"Stay here okay? I'll be right back"

"CANDY!"

After that, Piper went into the store to find the monster. It was nymph that looked like it was a ten thousand year old grandma with sickly green skin. "Hello honey. Care for a sweet?" she (it?) croaked. "No thanks," Piper replied nervously. The nymph muttered something incoherently. "I said, THEN YOU WILL DIE!" she yelled, and started to charge at Piper. For an old grandma, she moved pretty fast. Within milliseconds, Piper was pinned up against the wall with a sharp blade pressed up against her neck. The nymph opened their mouth to say something, but it spoke in Jason's voice. "PIPER! WAKE UP!" Piper sat up so fast her forehead smashed into Jason's. "Ow" they said at the same time.

"You passed out after we got onto the ship."

"How long have I been out?"

"Oh, I'd say around an hour or so"

"Oh"

"Hey, could you and Nico go to the town that's below us and buy some supplies?"

"NOOOOO!"

"Wait! Piper! Come back!"
