Well today has been REALLY boring, so I decided to write some.

Me: That's all folks.

Nico: Aren't you forgetting something?

Me: No.

Nico: Yeah you are. The thing where you say, "I don't own PJO."

Me: No Bonehead. You just did it for me. Muahahahahahahahahahaha!


Nico's Pov

I've been shadow traveling for a year and it still tires me out. I fainted the moment I arrived. I must have been out for a good twenty minutes when I heard voices.

"Hey Anna, look!" One squealed. "I think he's dead."

"Don't be silly Tina, he's breathing." The other said calmly. "He just fainted, but who is he?"

"I have no idea, but ewww! Look at his outfit!" The girl called Tina squealed some more.

I groaned. She sounded like an Aphrodite girl.

"Quiet Tina. He's waking up."

I sat up, and opened my eyes. Two girls stood over me, a brunette in a pink dress, a short blond in a yellow smiley face jacket.

"Who are you?" Asked the brunette, Tina.

"Nico." I answered, getting up. "And you two are?"

"I'm Solanna but call me Anna." The blond pointed at herself, then Tina. "That's Tina. Why were you unconscious in the middle of the sidewalk?"

"Um, I was walking to the bus stop and-"

"And judging from your eyes you haven't been getting enough sleep you fainted half way there?" Anna cut me off.

Tina and I both stared at her and she shrugged.

"You pay too much attention during health." Tina said, shaking her head.

"Wait, the bus!" Shouted Anna.

"Oh, crud!" They ran towards the bus, and I followed. We just hardly made it. As I climbed on the bus, I got a lot of stares. Most of the seats were full, and I had no idea where to sit.

"Hey Nico, sit with us!" Anna was waving frantically at me at the back of the bus, where she and Tina were sitting.

I sighed. Anna was a bit too, bright. But I sat with them anyways. The ride took forever, and it felt even longer with Tina's endless rambling about how she needed to go shopping. I was so glad when it was finally over that I was almost happy to go to school. Almost, but not really.


Anna's Pov

Tina was blabbing on about clothes (again) and I was thinking about Nico. He was different. He looks emo, but he doesn't act like it. I saw him climb on the bus, looking for a seat. I waved him over, and Tina gave me a look.

"Hey Nico, sit with us!" I called. He sighed and walked over. Tina continued talking and Nico looked sick, as if he was already tired of it. I was pretty sick of it myself. By the time we arrived, he looked ready to explode. I grabbed my backpack and skipped of the bus. I waited for Tina on the sidewalk, and just when she got off a weird sound came from the bus. I realized Nico was still in there, as was the bus driver. I climbed back on the bus to see what was going on. The bus driver was standing about five feet from Nico, sneering. Then, the scariest thing happened. The bus driver had vanished, and in his place was a monster! And Nico had a black sword, which he was using to attack it! The monster roared, and charged Nico. But he easily avoided the attack, and he slashed the thing in half. Instead of just falling to the ground, the body crumbled into yellow dust that smelled of sulfer. I stared at Nico, shocked. He looked up and saw me, his pale skin turning paler.

"Nico, what just happened?"


Well, that ends this chapter. Review or I'll eat your soul!
