A/N
Da: This is actually one of my favorite chapters.
Nico: I like the catfight part.
CPG: Of course you do.
Nico: What's that supposed to mean?
Da: Nothing, it means nothing. So anyway, we got writer's block in the middle of this chapter, so we had to get help from CPG's brother. He came up with the catfight and basically everything around there.
CPG: Yes, we're very glad he took 5 minutes away from his weird video game playing/YouTube video watching-ness (sorry Joey, but you know it's true) to help us.
Da: Nico, is there something you wanna do?
CPG: Nico? Hey Nico, where are you?
Da: Weird. Well, we'll find him later.
CPG: Considering we're girls, under the age of 100, and Nico's character is wayunder used in PJO, we aren't Rick Riordan, so we don't own anything except the plot and ourselves.
Da: We're off to go find Nico, so here's the story!
CPG: R&R!
Chapter Six
Delia
"Oh my gods, Nico! You're okay!" He was alive, awake, but…..wet…and freezing. "Nico, what happened to you?" Nico tried to answer, but his teeth were chattering too hard for him to talk. "He's freezing and soaked," I told the others. "Help him, please." Chiron lifted Nico onto his back (he was in centaur form) and galloped away to the Big House. I ran after them, but Sophia grabbed me before I could follow. "Delia, I need to talk to you," she said. I really wanted to make sure Nico was okay, but I went with my sister anyway. "What is it?" I asked her, once she'd decided we were far enough away from the others.
"I want to talk to you about what happened to Nico," Sophia said, looking at the ground. "What?" "I think….I think Idid it." I wasn't sure whether to laugh, cry, or punch her in the face.
Wait, you were gonna punch me?
Well, yeah, I was afraid you had hurt my b- special…friend….who is a boy….
Awkward…
Go away, Nico, this doesn't concern you!
Actually, it kinda does.
Shut up! Anyway, I finally decided on being just plain confused. "What do you mean?" I asked. Sophia shook her head. "I don't know. I was talking to him and then I grabbed him and I was yelling and then he just….froze." I didn't know what to say. "It…I don't blame you. You didn't do it on purpose. And, I mean, now that we're apparently demigods, it might mean we have some kind of cool power, because of our godly parent." Sophia shrugged, but she still looked really guilty. "Look, Sophia. It's not your fault. You didn't do it on purpose. Now let's go check on Nico."
Awww, you docare about me.
Shut. Up. So, then I dragged Sophia away to the Big House where we assumed Nico had been taken. I burst through the door and-
Dramatic entrance.
If I weren't madly in love with you, I'd kill you right now.
Well….. Wait, what? You're madly in love with me?
Duh.
No. No, I meant…..I'm madly in love with Choo! I love Jimmy Choo, his shoes are awesome.
What does this have to do with not killing me?
Once again, just shut up. So I burst through the door- don't say it, Nico- and exclaimed, "Is he okay? Tell me he's okay!" Juno was making out with Nico- if I weren't so worried about him, I probably would've punched her. I mean, while he was unconscious? Really Juno? I don't remember writing you liking to make out with unconscious people.
Jealous Delia?
Ummmmmm…..nooo, I just thought it was totally gross. I mean, I wouldn't mind you guys making out if you were both awake. It just creeps me out that she was making out with you while you were practically dead! But then again, being a son of Hades, you probably arealways almost dead, making it always weird to be making out-
Okay, two things: one, have you ever noticed that you ramble like Nudge when you're nervous? And two, do you realize how many times you said 'making out' in that paragraph?
…..only five times…..we're really off topic. Back to the story!
So, she made out with him as he lay in a bed, looking dead (no rhyme intended). I pushed Juno out of the way and put my hand on Nico's forehead. He was at least alive…..I think.
Isn't it kinda obvious nowthat I was alive, I mean, I'm right here?
Well, excuuuuuse me, Princess. I am recording my thoughts at the time.
Oh. Okay then. Continue.
So, once I was ninety nine percent sure that Nico was alive, I called Sophia over to "apologize for freezing him". So she did. Juno didn't like it though. "YOU DID THIS TO HIM?"
Okay, wait. Can wepleasenot go over this painful memory?
Heh. Painful. Good one.
Do you even know what she's talking about?
Yes! I was there.
But you were unconscious.
How do you know?
Because I was there too, oh genius one!
Thank you.
That wasn't supposed to be a compliment. Don't you know sarcasm when you hear it?
No.
Well, sarcasmwascreated to confuse the stupid.
Was that sarcasm too?
Sure.
Okay, this conversation is over. Can I get back to the story please?
No. Please don't tell this part.
I have to. It's the best part. And besides, it's so important to the story.
No it's not!
I don't care! I'm telling it anyway. So, Juno got really mad and-
La la la. I'm not listening.
Sophia, you know you can leave the room, right?
Thank you.
So, Delia, I guess it's just you and me now. You wanna talk about how much you loooove me?
Back to the story! Juno got really mad and-…..
What?
Sorry, I was kinda expecting an interruption. Anyway, Juno slapped Sophia.
You don't have to say that so loud you know.
I didn't, you're just listening.
Same difference.
So, Juno slapped my sister, so naturally, I got sorta mad.
Mad? You nearly ripped her head off!
I'm protective, okay?
"Juno! What the Hades was that for?" Sophia was too stunned to do anything, so I had to be mad for both of us. "She hurt him!" Juno snapped. "Oh, it is on!" I exclaimed. "Fight me, then, you jerk!" Juno shouted, pulling out her knife. "Oh, now it is really….wait a minute. I…don't…have a weapon." So I grabbed a stick.
Wait wait wait, you were fighting with a stick?
I adapted to the circumstances. So, anyway, I grabbed my stick and said, "Bring it on!" So we fought awhile, knife against stick. My stick broke about ten times, until it was about two centimeters long. So I grabbed another stick.
Wait, why were there so many sticks on the Big House floor?
I don't know! Anyway, I grabbed my second stick and continued fighting. Suddenly,
Wait. So you can say suddenly and act all suspenseful, but I can't say dramatic entrance?
Shut. Up. So, suddenly, there was this huge explosion and-
Wait. It was not an explosion, it was a fiery blast of fiery… fire. I guess.
Well, I'm saying it was an explosion. And then Nico woke up.
Yea me!
…How old are you anyway?
I'm twelve.
Sure.
Anyway, Nico woke up in the explosion and screamed,
I did not!
Let me finish. He screamed, "Smetteti!"
Sweet! I spoke Italian!
You don't remember this?
No.
Wait a minute. Delia, how doyou speak Italian?
I don't.
Then how'd you know how to spell, or say for that matter, what Nico said?
…I'm just….awesome that way.
Okay then.
So, Nico screamed in Italian, and Juno and I stopped fighting and looked up at him. "Okay, guys, three things," he said. "One, you both look like idiots; your form is terrible."
Wow, Nico. That sentence was….almost….intelligent.
Hmmph.
"Two, I feel very burnt right now."
Okay then.
"And three, I AM SOOO WARM!"
So much for intelligence.
You have no heart.
Exhibit A.
You're mean!
Exhibit B.
Nico, if I were you, I would just stop talking right now. I watched as Nico sat up in his burnt down bed and hugged himself.
Exhibit C.
Shut up! I was loving the warmth.
Do I have to say Exhibit D?
Sophia, just shut it.
Fine.
But, he was hugging himself.
You're mean too.
It kinda runs in the family.
Hey!
"Wait a minute! Why are you guys fighting anyway?" Nico looked very confused.
"Juno slapped me," At this point, Sophia had finally snapped out of her daze and was looking at Juno angrily.
"Like I said, I thought you purposely hurt him! Was I just supposed to stand there?"
"Yes!" Sophia and I screamed.
"Someone's protective," Nico pointed out.
"Nico, come on, you know you're like a brother to me," Juno said calmly.
"Is that why you were making out with him?" I asked angrily.
"I was not making out with him! I just kissed him once for good luck!"
"Uh huh, sure."
"It's true!" Juno exclaimed.
"This is awkward," Nico muttered. Sophia patted him on the shoulder. "I agree. But she wasmaking out with you." Nico blushed.
Finally, Chiron made us leave (sadness); something about us being too "stressful" for Nico. I don't get that at all.
I do! Have you guys ever hung out with yourselves….wait, don't answer that question.
But anyway, we had to leave, so I grabbed my special stick thingy weapon….thing.
…..I don't know what to say to that.
So just don't say anything.
I had to put it in there so I could keep my reputation of interrupting Delia even more than she interrupts you.
Touché, touché. Wait, that's gonna be a very hard reputation to keep.
I take that as a compliment. So, anyway, I grabbed my stick thing, and we ran to the Hermes cabin, and fell asleep.
But that night, we had a dream…..
I was gonna say that.
Well, I just thought it'd be more dramatic if I said it.
But, yeah. We had a dream….
Dramatic pause.
Shut up.
A/N:
Da: Sooooooooooo, for all those who were wondering, we didn't find Nico. Sadness. But, while we were looking for him, we didfind another awesomely emo character.
Fang: First of all, I'm not emo. And secondly, I don't wanna be here.
CPG: Don't worry. Fangy will warm up to us….eventually.
Nico: Yo guys, what up?
Da and CPG: Nico?
Nico: Yeah. Hey, who's the emo dude?
Fang: I'm Fang and I'm not emo.
Nico: Wait, so you wear all black, don't show emotion, your name is Fang, you look depressed, and you say you're not emo? Do you listen to My Chemical Romance too?
Fang: I don't look depressed! Hey, since he's back, can I go now?
Da: Yeah, I guess you'd better get back to Saint. Or the Flock. Or wherever you came from.
Fang: Later. (walks out the door)
Nico: Hey, since when do you two hang out with emo guys?
CPG: Have you looked at yourself?
Nico: Touché.
Da: Hey, Nico. Where were you anyway?
Nico: Oh, I was getting cookies from CPG's secret stash.
CPG: Nico! Come on! Now I have to find a new hiding place!
