Nico was about to leave the cabin, no matter what the charm speakers thought. But the he got another text from Will

Hey, Nico, I sold for about $500 bucks… I guess that means I will get to spend the night in a King's Sweet!

Judging by the way he had written; some old lady probably wanted to spend some time with a young boy or something like that. He definitely was not expecting to receive another text with a picture of a handsome, tall, tanned, blue eyed guy in his twenties!

He was halfway out the door when he saw this, and without thinking, he walked back inside and sat down. "Make me over." He said grumpily to the Barbie girls. What was wrong with him? He had just walked over there thinking, I NEED to be better than this 'Chris' guy…

It's not like he was jealous, right? He didn't get jealous. Although there was that one time when he had hated Annabeth for simply existing… Ugh. Not this again! It's just another stupid crush on a stupid, tall, muscular, blonde haired son of Apollo-

"Ooh! He's blushing!" Said Jessica, one of the Aphrodite children with a large grin painted across her face. "I wonder who he's texting…" She said, and before Nico could react, she snatched the phone out of his hands. "Hmmm… Lots of messages from Will Solace! I think somebody has a crush!" She said, as she started to sing "Will and Nico, sittin' in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes marriage then comes Nico with a-"

"SHUT UP RIGHT NOW OR I SWEAR TO THE GODS I WILL MURDER YOU!" Nico had yelled, obviously. His cheeks were red and flushed and his pupils were more dilated than usual. "Are you going to comb my hair or whatever?" He asked unknowingly.

"Oh we will, we'll also cut it, trim your eyebrows and get you some better wardrobe!" Exclaimed Drew as she walked towards him. "Doesn't that sound fun?"

"Sounds more like torture to me." Said Nico, rolling his eyes, "But I guess you Aphrodite-ans know best." He crossed his arms, to make it clear he wasn't going to enjoy this.

"OW! Why are you pulling off my eyebrows?" Nico asked Piper. "It hurts."

"The ghost king can't even handle a little pampering? You shadow-travelled around the world and nearly faded into darkness and you're complaining about having your eyebrows plucked?" She said with a hand on her hip.

Nico paused for a moment, "I guess you're right Pipes… Besides you're almost finished with this now, right?"

"Right," She said plucking one last little out-of-place hair. "Now for the makeup!" She said, pulling out different bottles and tubes. She's not one to wear makeup, but she does know that it'd look great on Nico.

"Wait, makeup? That's for girls!" Nico scoffed. "And is that eyeliner? And mascara?" He said shaking his head.

"You do have a man to impress, don't you?" She said, shaking her head to mimic him. "And it's guy-liner and man-scara." She corrected, as she applied some foundation to cover his blushing.

They'd finally finished messing with his face and were now ready to "dress up" his hair, as they had said. He was terrified. They wet his hair, conditioned it, and shampooed. Once it was clean, they combed it, and then went to the other side of the room to decide what haircut he needed.

"It needs to be something punk…" He heard someone say. "OOH! I know! I know!" Said the same person, they huddled together, so Nico wouldn't hear. They said it would be a surprise. The pink posse of perfectly pampered princesses walked back over to Nico, still sitting there wet hair combed across his head.

"We have come to a decision." Said Drew, the girls all got started on cutting his hair, while some of the guys picked out outfits they thought would be attractive on Nico. About fifteen minutes later, after his hair had been buzzed, trimmed and all kinds of weird things, they brought him to a mirror so he could see himself.

He stood there for a minute, speechless. Who's that cute guy in the window? Was his first thought, and then he realized it was him. His hair was cut into a punk undercut; his eyes were unnaturally flattering to his near-white skin and clothes. His clothes!

He was wearing black skinny jeans, which he thought showed off his toned butt pretty well. He had a blue long-sleeved shirt, a bit tight fitting, but it looked good. And on top of all of that, he had a skull scarf around his neck, to keep him warm.

It was perfect! Take that, Chris! You are NEVER going to get my Will now! Dangit, he was jealous… Oh well, guess it'll have to wait, for now, he needs to go take a selfie to show Will his new look! He shuffled his feet a bit before he left. They all knew it was his way of saying "Thanks!"

"You're welcome and merry Christmas!" They called after him, as he ran to show himself off to his crush. He was jealous, that was for sure. But that Chris guy, had to pay to get a date with Will, and this holiday season. He would get one for free! He was sure of it!

Hey guys! Got a couple of requests for jealous Nico, so, there you all go! WHOO! My chapters just keep getting longer and longer and longer! Yay! That's a good thing, I think… IDK, I'm kinda still new to this whole thing… Anyway, tell me if you like Nico's new look in a review! WFYL! (Write for you later!) Bye!
