Hello! Here's another chapter for all of you awesome people!
This chapter is dedicated to In the Closet Fanfic Reader, who came up with the 3D idea! I hope you like it!
Nico POV
"Hey, Nico! You want to go to a movie with me and Annabeth?" Percy asked while Mrs. Jackson fed us her yummy blue chocolate chip cookies.
"Annabeth and I," I corrected. Wow...Annabeth is really rubbing off on me! "But sure. What movie?"
Percy grabbed another cookie. "It's the new blockbuster. We're going to see it in 3D! It's going to be so awesome!" He went on to describe the cast, the plot, and everything else that made it sound so epic.
"OK," I said. "But what's 3D?"
Percy frowned. "You've never heard-? Oh, wait...never mind."
"Ookaayy," I said uneasily. "So what is it?"
He smiled evilly. "Oh, you'll see." He took a big bite out of his cookie.
Mrs. Jackson chuckled. This didn't sound good.
About a hour later, Annabeth arrived and we went to the movie theater.
The line there wasn't too big, so we quickly got our tickets and snacks and made our way through the dark theater to find seats.
Before the movie began, Percy handed me some weird looking glasses. They were really big and the lenses were clear. They looked like sunglasses.
"What are these for?" I asked.
"They're for the 3D," Annabeth said, like it was completely obvious. "Wait for the movie to start, then put them on."
Weird. Who would need these ugly glasses to watch a movie? The screen is big enough!
As the movie started, a little note popped on the screen, telling us to put our 3D glasses on. I put mine on. The picture looked a little weird at first, but then it went back to normal.
The movie was epic...well, at least for the first ten minutes of the movie. Then everything went wrong.
One of the evil punks threw a big rock at the hero whose back was facing us. He jumped out of the way, but for some reason the rock was getting bigger and bigger. Then it came out of the screen!
"Percy!" I squealed like a little girl. The rock had hit me. Was I imagining it? No. I could feel pain in my face. Some people behind me snickered.
He looked at me confused. "Quiet, Nico! What's wrong?"
"Th-that r-rock h-hit m-m-me," I said shakily rubbing my face, expecting a giant purple bruise to form.
Another rock was thrown. This time, it hit me in the chest!
"Ah!" I screamed and hit the ground, assuming the fetal position. Everyone around me just stared like I had just grew leaves (which wasn't the first time, thanks to Persephone). Percy and Annabeth just sighed and tried to get me back in my seat.
"Come on, man," Percy said irritably. "What are you doing on the ground? Get up! You're going to kick us out!"
Now I was rocking back and forth. "I'm hurt," I muttered. "It's so real. It hurt me. Get me out of here! It's a battle zone!"
"Nico," Annabeth said calmly. "It's not real. It's just 3D."
"What the Hades is 3D?" I yelled. "Is it a cinnamon for real?"
Annabeth ignored me. "You mean synonym? Get back into your seat, Nico. Just take the glasses off and everything will be alright."
Whispers were heard among the crowd. How come no one else was getting hurt?
"No," I said stubbornly, although I did take the glasses off. "The evil guy is out to get me. I must hide.
The person sitting beside me decided to intervene. Idiot. It was none of his bee's wax.
"Young man," he said. "I think you should sit down or leave. Whatever you're frightened about, next time you should be more prepared."
I gave him my best death glare, son of Hades style. He shut his mouth and continued to watch the movie.
Percy leaned forward and whispered into my ear. "Nico, just get up. It isn't hurting you. You're just imagining it."
I shook my head. How could I imagine pain? "How come your not getting hurt?"
Percy rolled his eyes. "Because it's all part of your imagination." He made a rainbow with his hands, like on Spongebob.
"No, it's not!" I whined. The pain was starting to give me a headache.
Percy and Annabeth soom gave up. They ignored me and watched the rest of the movie.
When it was almost done, at least I think it was almost done (couldn't really see, being on the floor and all), more stuff went wrong. I told you it was a battle zone!
I heard a monster howl and the sound of a really big piece of fabric ripping. The movie theater then turned into chaos. Apparently this wasn't part of the movie.
Forgetting that I was defending myself from Lord Evil Person, I got up and looked at the screen. It was completely torn in half, and in front of it stood a very real looking sphinx.
I wasn't wearing my glasses.
"Guys?" Percy had his sword uncapped and Annabeth had her dagger. They looked at me with their eyes wide in surprise.
"I'm guessing that's not 3D."
Please review! I like to know which parts you liked best. Also, please check out my poll on my profile page to vote for what you want Nico to discover next!
Thanks! ~Sweetly Blissful
