Wow! I actually got another chapter up!

Thanks for all the amazing reviews! But I have 199! How could you do this to me? Let's make it 200 (or more)!

This chapter is dedicated to ireland89! You rock!

Nico POV

Where is the coolest place to chill out at Camp Half-Blood? Easy. Rachel's cave.

Yes, I said cave. It was Apollo's idea. These were his words exactly (of course, in haiku form):

Oracle Rachel,

Needs awesome place to chill out.

I give her a cave.

No wonder Apollo only had seven hundred attack points. His poetry stunk.

Anyways, Rachel got pretty lonely in that cave of hers. She couldn't really do much training, being a mortal and all. No one liked to sword fight with her, after all. All she had to do was stand there. No celestial bronze sword could pierce her.

So she invited Annabeth, Percy, and myself to come hang out with today. I couldn't wait. Anything designed by a god has got to be awesome.

And it was. The inside did not look like a cave at all. The door was just a beaded veil that made little tinkling sounds when you walked through. The floor was a deep red, shaggy carpet. The walls were made of stone, this being a cave and all, but were plastered with drawing and paintings, courtesy of the Oracle herself.

There were these weird pillow-like chair things hanging around the room, in all different sizes and colors. There was a mini refrigerator in the corner, along with a little snack bar. The were TVs, laptops, artists easels, and a big machine that played music while turning colours to the beat. And the best part; a couple of giant machines making delightful "pew-pew" sounds. Those could only mean one thing. Let the games begin.

"Ta-da" Rachel announced happily as we gawked at her "Rachel-cave". "Go ahead. Knock yourselves out.

I raced over to one of the machines and tried to read the phrase on the screen. "What's Cap-Man?" I asked out loud.

"It's Pac-Man," Percy said with a chuckle. He turned to Rachel. "Mr. D?"

She nodded and went to where Annabeth was looking at architectural drawings and started chatting with her.

"Well, Percy?" I said, placing my hand on the little stick poking out of the machine. "How do you play this?"

"Aw, Nico. This game is so old!" He teased. Who cares? It's a game! "It's easy, really. Just move the joystick and collect all of the little circles."

"OK," I pressed the button labelled START. The game began to play louder music and a little maze appeared on the screen along with a little yellow smiley face guy. See? I'm a smart little boy.

I started out pretty good, navigating through the maze, eating the little circles. What fun!

But then something happened. Out of nowhere, a little red ghost appeared and attacked my guy! Then he died!

"Ah!" I shrieked. "What happened?"

"Dude, you died." Percy said. "Watch out for Blinky. He's a tricky guy."

I blinked. "Blinky? Why didn't you tell me that there would be evil ghost things that try to eat my smiley face guy?"

Percy shrugged. "I thought you would figure it out. My turn!" He shoved me out of the way and started playing.

I watched for a little bit, but then got bored. He was on the twenty-eighth level! So I decided to do something else.

I walked over to see what Annabeth and Rachel were doing. They were still talking about architecture stuff! Boring!

I moved on to the snack bar and stuffed my mouth for a few minutes. There were chips, candy, stuff a teenage boy dreamed of. I opened the cute little fridge and grabbed a drink. Rachel was pretty lucky. I wish I was the Oracle. OK, maybe not. Then I would be possessed by a spirit and be thrown into random seizures. That doesn't sound like much fun.

I went over and checked out the weird black boxes that were hanging on the wall. They all surrounded another black box, only this one had a whole bunch of buttons on it.

Being the smart little boy I am, I pushed the button labelled ON, waiting to see what would happen because I honestly didn't know. Surprise, surprise...

That wasn't a very smart thing to do, though. All of a sudden, loud heavy metal starting pounding the walls. Literally. It was so loud the whole cave was shaking. And all of this noise was coming from the boxes.

What did I do? I stayed perfectly calm. I started screaming.

"Ah! It's so loud!" I yelled.

A sad "pew-pew" sound came from Percy's game. He groaned and walked over to me. Annabeth and Rachel came over too.

I had my hands over my ears and I was screaming, demanding someone to turn it off or I would die of exploded eardrums. Rachel walked over to the box with all the buttons on it and pressed the one of the buttons, turning the machine off.

It became silent again. Hallelujah!

I ran over to Rachel. "You saved me!"

She just frowned. "Why were you fiddling with the surround sound?"

"What's that?" I asked, ignoring her question the realized that I probably wouldn't understand even if she explained it. That's smart thinking. "Never mind."

A conch horn sounded in the distance. "Let's go have dinner!"

While writing this chapter, I came up with an awesome one-shot! I won't tell what it's about yet, but keep your eye out. It may come out this weekend and I promise you, it will be good! I can't wait to write it!

Please review! You know how happy it makes me! :D
