Hey again guys. Well, I'm back with another chapter. This one is shorter, and sort of a filler, but I needed to get this out of my system so I can focus on actual important events in the story. I also felt obligated to post this because of 9 reviews and 500 views in two days! Woo! And I would also like to thank hoOPJO for constant support as well as Finwitch1 for the parent meeting idea. Also, shout out to everyone who has ever or will review, follow, and/or fav. I don't own PJO and HoO or Phineas and Ferb. Yeah... Hope you enjoy!

Nico sat behind the school, muttering, his head in his hands. "I'm so stupid. Why did I do that? I didn't want to be a freak so much that I just forgot... Oh gods, I..."

He was interrupted by a crash, followed by much swearing. He got to his feet. "Hello?"

"Shit. Nico?" Nico sighed in relief.

"Rose."

A figure moved towards him. "How'd you know it was me?"

"Your voice. And the way you talk."

"Oh." Rose moved towards him, and sat down next to him. "It's okay what you did back there. He deserved it."

Nico smiled. "Yeah. I guess. But not like that." Then something came to mind. "Hey Rose."

"What's up?"

"Well, I was just wondering why you call the bully, Mark, Buford."

Rose thought for a moment. "Well, have you ever seen Phineas and Ferb?"

Nico stared back at her blankly. Rose sighed. "Well, it's this show about these two guys that can build, like, anything. And in this show, there's this guy that bullies everybody, and his name is Buford. Ring any bells?"

Nico looked away. "No. Sorry, I just don't watch that much TV."

Rose looked at him, her head tilts slightly to the side. "What do you mean by 'not much'?"

"Like," Nico started, "not any."

Rose jumped up, surprised. "Well, we're going to have to fix that, aren't we? Are you doing anything this Friday?"

Nico shook his head no.

"Well then, you're coming over to my house to watch all the shows that you missed."

The side of Nico's mouth twitched, almost half of a smile. "Sounds good."

"Great! Then we will watch television until our brains rot." Then she faltered. "Oh, sorry for bringing this up again, but what are we gonna do about that small Mark incident?"

Nico's half smile faded. "Well, what do they normally do to people that get in fights?"

Rose nodded. "Right. They normally just have parent teacher student conferences with the people that got in trouble. Not too harsh."

"Well, I wish them luck trying to get a hold of my mom and dad."

Thanks so much for reading! Please review with any comments or recommendations. Hope you enjoyed.
