Leo POV

"What if he's in the hospital? What if they were kidnapped? WHAT IF THEY'RE DEAD? What if-" I was rambling on and on about how much danger those two could of been in.

"LEO! We get it. You haven't seen Nico or Glados since Wednesday," Jason interrupted.

"And your worried sick about them," Hazel piped in.

"BUT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY!" Reyna cried.

"Well, I wouldn't be that harsh about it, but yeah, that's the idea." Annabeth criticized her girlfriend.

"But-" I objected.

"No! If I hear one more thing about those two for the next 24 hours, someone's going to the hospital." Percy is not someone to get angry, but when he is, you best be steering clear of his way. I let the conversation drop, but that didn't stop my thoughts from rampaging.

"Now, now, Perce, let's not be violent about it." Jason tried to calm his soulmate. I've been contemplating whatever happened to Nico and Glados on Wednesday. It's Homeroom on Monday now, and I have absolutely no sign of them. No trace, no clues, not even a contact number to reach either of them. For all I know, they're drowning in a river, and I can't do anything about it. Apparently, I've been voicing my thoughts and my friends are sick of it. Let's just hope that it was an empty threat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TIME SKIP TO MONDAY NIGHT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nico POV

We were halfway through Twilight: Breaking Dawn: Part One, part of our Twilight Marathon we were watching (we weren't enjoying the movie for the story of course, but the awkwardness of it), when our doorbell rang. Glados got up to answer it after the person kept ringing it for 5 minutes straight. We were quite annoyed. When Glados looked through the peephole she turned to me while grinning and whispered, "To to your room and lock the door, don't come out until I say so." She was still grinning as walked down the hallway. I locked the door like she said as soon as I got into her bedroom. As soon as Glados heard the door lock, I could hear her open the front door.

Glados POV

Standing outside was none other than Leo, the supposed 'sex on legs in the form of a man' as would Nico describe him. I didn't blame him, I mean I can see where he's coming from, not that I'd ever tell him that. What he doesn't know won't kill him. It's not like I like him, because he not my type but like I said, I can see where Nico's coming from. I looked at him, and when he saw he had my full attention he started ranting, which was quite amusing. "Glados! I was so worried! Where is Nico by the way, I thought something happened to you two. Is Nico all right? Are you okay? What happened? Is he hurt? IS HE DEAD!? OH GOD HE'S DEAD WHAT WILL I DO NOW?!" I was about to say something when he asked eerily calm, compared to his earlier form of speech. "Hey Glados do you know any good cliffs around here… or maybe a murderer looking for some action?" Now he was just getting creepy- scratch that, he's already there.

"Oh, Nico? I haven't seen him since yesterday! He insisted on walking home alone yesterday and I haven't seen him since then. He always walks on that old road that goes by that factory that closed down, he assured me he'd be safe but I'm not sure. Could you go out and look for him?" I asked sweetly. Before I even finished my sentence he was in his car to go look for his dear, homosexual 'friend'. Nico was oblivious as hell, so I could easily see his not-so-obvious intentions. It was really just too cute. The best OTPs are the ones that unfold right before your eyes.

Nico POV

After hearing the whole conversation, right down to when he sped away to go look for me on a 'creepy street'. It was a lost cause, you could even say a 'Wild-Goose Chase'. Other than sweet, it was ridiculous and absolutely hilarious. Basicly, the whole Glados criteria.

"You can come out now!" She called.

"So, how was that?" She asked. I come out, trying to look angry but failing miserably. At least I'm not rolling on the floor, dying of laughter (*cough cough* Glados *cough cough*). At this rate she won't ever stop laughing and never go to college and just die on the floor. I'll admit it was pretty good joke, but it was still kinda cruel to play on your best friends' crush. I mean, I was holding back my laughter, but she wasn't even putting any effort in anymore.

"Did you see, wait no… hear how fast he scampered off?" Said Glados, tears forming in her eyes.

"C'mon Glados, you can't send him on a wild goose chase like that! Though, I will give you props for coming up with something like that on the spot." Failing to hold my laughter back any longer, and rolling on the ground with her.

Leo POV (Tuesday at Lunch)

I was waiting anxiously to see if Nico and Glados would show up today. I wonder if Glados found him because I sure as shit didn't. I hope he's okay… I don't have any classes with either of them before lunch.

"Oh look, here they are now." Calypso commented. Her eyes widened drastically.

I stared. "Oh gods, what happened to them?" I asked, slightly bewildered. They had bags under their eyes, like they haven't slept in months. Their clothes were wrinkled and Nico, oh gods… I was worried, what could have happened to make them look absolutely horrible? Except for Nico, he looked kinda hot. Although, Nico could never look bad, so, it was more like disheveled. Nico had a cut that looked pretty bad, just under the eye. It stretched from his left eye to his nose. His eyes showed a deep sorrow, like he's seen all hell and then what's left. But Glados? It looks like she took the brink of an explosion. She was limping, and covered in cuts and bruises. She leaned on Nico for support. Glados even had some burns. Both had black, messy hairdos, but it was almost always was, so no big deal. As she walked, her right knee was cracking with every step taken. They spoke in barely audible, hoarse voices. All we could do is watch in bewilderment as they walked and sat down at their usual table for two. The worst part? No one else paid any attention to them. Piper and Frank were the first to move.

"Oh, gods what happened to you?" Frank said. They slowly craned their necks to look at us. "Bear attack..." Piper cut Glados off.

"And you didn't go to the hospital!?"

"Sorry, we're broke." She said calmly, like they did this every day. I certainly hope not, especially if Nico was there with her… OH SHIT!

"Ok, then. Start from the beginning, will you?" Annabeth said, while the rest of us pulled up chairs around the small table.

"Well… actually… Leo could I borrow Reynabeth-"

"Reynabeth? Is that like… Reyna and Annabeth's names together?" She glared at me. I flinched and scooted back, dam, that glare could kill people!

"Have you ever heard of shipping?" I shake my head, in unison with the guys, Hazel, Reyna and Calypso.

"Remind me to explain it to you some time. But yes, it is Reyna and Annabeth's name mixed. Can I borrow them for a sec?" Glados' voice wavered. Was that a trace of an accent I heard? Hard to place, but definitely there. Luckily, Jason asked for me.

"Was that… was that a brief Australian accent?" A look of wonder passed on Nico's face, while Glados was very flustered. He turned toward her and asked the million-dollar question with his eyes. 'Your... Australian?'

"Heh… uh, partly… can we not talk about this right now? C'mon Reynabeth, Angel!" She grabbed his hand and 'Reynabeths' joined hands and marched off. I could see Reyna and Annabeth flinch when Glados touched her. Nico could only stumble along.

Nico POV

WHAT? My closest friend, one of the most influential people in my life, the person I have basically known for my entire life, was just revealed to be Australian. How could not have noticed? Did she hide her accent well? Is she an Australian assassin sent to kill the President? Well, probably not, she's too 'energy efficient' (*cough cough* lazy *cough cough*) to care probably.

"This is all fake. The limping, the cuts and blood, even the burn is fake." Glados announced to Reyna and Annabeth. I already knew, what an awesome April fools joke… in February.

"Seriously? Wow, you guys can act." Annabeth said wide-eyed.

"Yeah. Really. Pretty sweet April fool's joke, right?"

"Wait, so, this is all fake and you sent Leo out on a wild goose chase to find someone who wasn't even missing, on a creepy as hell road, only to have him complain to us when he came back?" Reyna said eerily calmly. We nodded in usion.

"Smart," Annabeth commented.

Reyna stared us down.

"You. Have. 10. Seconds. To. Run." she said, an obvious threat behind her words, and this one was not empty.

We Ran. Back past the others, where they just looked at us weirdly. To the car where we would be skipping the for the rest of the day.
