Is it too soon to post this one? I had the idea shortly after I came up with the story. This is another one of mine, just like the first one, so I wanna get it out of my system anyways.

The funny thing is I wanted to post this sooner, but my computer started updating for some dang stupid reason and I couldn't do anything with it for awhile. Also, this is the first time I've typed a chapter up on the computer in Word and then uploaded it via file upload, so be warned if something happens.

REVIEWS

Leyna4eva: Oh my goodness huge confidence boost here THANK YOU! Also I will never stop shipping Caleo, but Leyna will always have a special place in my heart *gazes off into the sunset while standing on the beach as the wind blows my hair around*

Percy: Okay, that's just weird.

Me: Every teenager is doing it in the movies.

Thereadingturtle: I'll have to write that as the epilogue. I actually know what the last chapter will be, too, so I can start drawing up plans for those two. Definitely the engagement scene at least, not sure about the wedding bit because I've never really tried to write a wedding scene. I'll definitely do that, though! Thanks for an awesome epilogue idea!

Sabrina-luna-potter: Don't read anything I write in the middle of the night, otherwise you'll die laughing.

dauntlessinthetardis: BRUH. BRUH YOUR USERNAME. BRUH. I AM IN COMPLETE AND UTTER LOVE. Yes, I like the idea of a camp dance. Something cliché and cheesy to wrap it all up.

TheKookieKing11: The Aphrodite cabin would totally set that up, no lie. That one's probably gonna be written soon, if not then I died.

Queen Ore-Sama: I can hear the Stolls now...also, I'm glad that you liked it! It seems to make everyone chuckle, actually.

rainbowchameleon: Congratulations for being the first reviewer! Also goodness gracious me was it really that funny.

Agana of the night: I'm gonna combine your idea with Queen Ore-Sama's, since they're the same thing. And I've always liked writing closet scenes, so it's okay!

Blackberry Explosion: I actually had to sit down and laugh after I read that. Also, are they all part of the same idea or all different ones? But I will try my hand at a Solangelo party haha. Also I love writing the Stolls so I will definitely add them.

RayvnAshes2: Yes oh my goodness yes. I can just imagine Will being like "WHAT DID YOU DO WITH YOUR HAIR actually nvm it looks great on you haha"

mylittlemo09: Please don't suffocate, that would be quite unfortunate. I've caused enough deaths as it is already.

haileyanimefreak: Yes that was me I made that post. And I'm glad that it made you laugh! Also thanks :D

DaughterofAthena6: They're everyone's OTP. Everyone's.

Guest: Everyone's laughing out loud what have I done.

wisdomgirl0924: Yes I feel like this was quite fantastic. I actually laughed a little while reading this.

Ippiki Ookami no Fuyu: Ooh, interesting idea! I'll have to save that one for a bit later, though. Sorry, it just seems like it'll make more sense if it takes place a bit later, because of the strain it'll add in the Solangelo relationship, which still needs to develop more to the point of them really liking each other in this fic. Right now they're sorta at the "do I want to date you or just be friends" stage. I'll probably set it before the dance that dauntlessinthetardis suggested I do, actually. And I might have to write it in two separate chapters as well. And I want to try both combinations that you gave me too ugh. You know what, I'll probably have people vote on them later on. Sorry if my response seems harsh, but your idea is really cool! Honestly.

Warning: This chapter is set before the previous chapter.

Disclaimer: Despite making jokes about stealing souls all the time, I am not Rick Riordan.

Nico: You're worse.

Me: Shut up before I steal your soul, di Angelo.

Chapter 2: Employing the Oracle

Rachel looked up from the latest issue of Olympian Monthly, eerily bright eyes narrowed. "You want me to do what?!"

Jason swallowed, pushing up his glasses nervously with one finger. Most people would've thought that his friendship with the son of Hades would mean Jason was not terrified of anything, but that was certainly not true. He was terrified of Rachel Elizabeth Dare. "Use your prophet powers to see when Will and Nico end up together?"

"Jason," Annabeth moaned, "Even though I'm co-president of the fan club, I don't think using Rachel like this will help to get our OTP together."

"C'mon, Annabeth! By looking into the future, she can verify that we get them together!"

"Every other camper is trying, Jason."

"I haven't seen them try anything."

"Have you not seen all the Hermes kids hanging out by the closets?"

"What?"

"You're just as dense as Seaweed Brain is."

"HEY! I TAKE OFFENSE!"

Rachel cleared her throat, causing the two demigods to look back at her. "Look, I'm…honored-" She said the word in a tone that meant she obviously wasn't. "-but there are a few reasons why using me to help get your little pet project going will not work in the slightest."

"Oh, yeah? Give us one then." As soon as he said it, Jason immediately wanted to take every word that he said back. He had made many mistakes in his life, and he knew that taunting Rachel Elizabeth Dare was one of the dumbest. You would never get away with it.

Never.

"One reason is, Jason," she spoke icily, chilling Jason more that Khione had when she had frozen him on the deck of the Argo II both times that she had, "that, as of right now, my powers as the Oracle of Delphi have yet to return. You should know this perfectly well."

"But it's already been a few weeks since the war end-"

"Another reason is," she cut him off flatly, "I have been bothered with all this before. Don't think that you guys have formed the first shipping club ever at camp. After I became the Oracle, the Aphrodite kids pestered me for weeks about Percabeth."

Annabeth made a face. "I've heard."

"Percabeth?"

"That's the shipping name that they came up with for me and Percy, by combining our first names. Just like how we came up with Solangelo by combining Will's and Nico's last names."

"Oh." Jason paused. "Wait a sec-"

Rachel cut Jason off again. "The thing is, I don't do trivial things like foreseeing matters of the heart or who will win the next Capture the Flag thing. I give prophecies. For quests. Those things are not quests."

"But," Jason protested, "what if it's a quest for true love?"

"No. The Spirit doesn't do that. And she's not here at the moment, so please leave a message." With that, Rachel continued to read the article about the drama and rumors bouncing around about the disappearance of Apollo.

"What if they asked you something?"

Rachel glared at Jason again, mentally cursing when the glare that she gave which was almost as scary as one of Nico di Angelo's did nothing to faze the blonde boy this time around. "What?"

"What if one of you asks them about something? Like, 'Oh, Rachel, the most prophetic Oracle that there ever was, ever is, and ever will be, does Nico/Will love me back? Oh, will he ever will?'"

Annabeth started laughing at Jason's high-pitched, girly voice, but stopped and mentally checked herself when she saw Rachel glaring again.

This time, Rachel slowly put the magazine down. Annabeth instantly regretted ever listening to Jason's suggestion.

"What. The actual. Hades. Jason."

"But it makes sense!" he defended himself. "I mean, if other campers have asked about these things, then they might ask you about it too!"

"I think you've might've forgotten something, Jason." Rachel's tone warned the boy about terrible things to come if he dared to fight her on her decision, and Annabeth groaned a little when Jason merely blinked, either too ignorant to notice Rachel's tone or else ignoring it completely.

"Forgetting what?"

"Will is a son of Apollo. Now, granted the fact that, unlike me, he is not carrying the Oracle's spirit and has merely inherited the ability to prophesy the future, he does not have as strong an ability as mine. But-" Her tone was picked up on this time, and Jason abruptly closed his mouth as to cut off any argument that he was about to throw out there. "-that does not mean he can't see at least a little ways into the future. So he wouldn't be asking me about it, he'd be trying to figure it out for himself. And Apollo kids don't abuse their powers that way. It backfires."

"Is that the reason why Austin couldn't stop singing everything he said for an entire week?"

"Yup."

"Bleah."

"And his powers, just like mine, have also been cut off. The entire cabin, in fact. So that means that nobody in this camp will be trying to foretell their future-or anyone else's, for that matter-for an indefinite amount of time."

Jason scratched his head. "Well, I guess you're right about Will," he finally admitted. Rachel sighed, finally glad to be getting the son of Jupiter off of her back, and her hand inched back towards her magazine. Then he blurted out, "What about Nico?"

"Gods of-" Rachel didn't even finish her sentence, and she thunked her head down on the table in front of her.

"He does have a point, Rachel. What about Nico?"

"Nico knows that I can't do it already."

"Really?" This surprised both Annabeth and Jason. They had never seen the son of Hades being chummy with the camp Oracle in all the time that they had been there. In fact, the last major time Annabeth could recall them interacting was during the quest in the Labyrinth, and the battle that had happened afterwards.

"Yeah, he does."

"How?"

Rachel paused, then looked at Annabeth. "He asked me about Percy. Before the, y'know…" She bobbed her head to the side, red curls following. Annabeth understood. Before the underwater kiss on Percy's birthday had happened. Gods, now she felt sorta awful about that. She would definitely have to get Will with Nico as an apology.

Jason didn't know what Rachel was talking about. "Wait, so you knew that Nico was gay?"

"Yes, I knew."

"Why didn't you tell us?!" he cried.

"Jason, he's from a time where if you told someone you were gay, you would wind up dead, if you were lucky. Homosexuals were placed in the same concentration camps that the Jews were in, and after the United States freed the Jews, they left the homosexuals behind. And he asked me to keep it secret, and I did. I am a lot of things, but betraying someone by spilling their secrets and destroying the trust that they had placed in me is most certainly not one of them."

"…" Jason stayed quiet. Annabeth did as well, not having much of an argument towards that statement. Then Jason broke the silence.

"What if he tries again?"

This time, Rachel had had enough. "GET OUT!" she roared, and green tendrils of mist swirled around her. The Spirit may had been asleep, but boy, was it mad that its host was being annoyed like this, and disrupting the peaceful rest that it had just been taking.

Annabeth didn't need any further encouragement. She grabbed Jason's arm and dragged him outside Rachel's room with her. She decided not to bother Rachel again for the rest of the week.

When they were finally gone, Rachel sighed. Finally. Again. She picked her magazine back up this time, and decided not to go to the pavilion for dinner. She'd just order Chinese take-out or something. After all, it was fun to laugh at the fortunes printing in the fortune cookies. Silly mortals. Futures are for Oracles!

*This linebreak has been sponsored by fortune cookies and the Trix rabbit. And now, back to our regularly scheduled fanfiction.*

"Gah!" Jason shook after he was at least twenty feet away from the Big House, along with Annabeth. "You were right. We shouldn't have gone to Rachel."

"No biggie. I wasn't expecting her to do that either. Guess I was too focused on the OTP." Annabeth sighed. "Speaking of which, we are not any closer to getting them together, are we."

"Nope. Back to square one, I guess." Jason kicked the ground. "I never thought having an OTP would be so hard. I mean, look at how the people online are dealing with it! They handle it fairly well."

"Handle what well?"

Annabeth and Jason both jumped, then turned around to see a rather sweaty Will Solace, with an empty quiver over his shoulder. The teenager must've just finished archery practice.

"Oh, hi, Will!" Annabeth greeted. "Getting any better with the bow and arrow?"

The son of Apollo shook his head, damp curls sticky with perspiration flying which way and that. "No, I haven't gotten past the white part of the target at all."

"Well' that's better than missing entirely! Nico probably isnt too good himself-OW!"

Annabeth had elbowed Jason severely in his side. "You idiot! We can't hint at them being our OTP!" she hissed.

Jason whispered back, "Can you sue me for trying to get them together? I mean, you're trying too!"

Will frowned as he looked at them whisper-arguing back and forth. "Uh, is everything okay?"

"Yup, everything is fine! Nothing is wrong! Nothing at all! See ya, Will!" Annabeth dragged Jason off by his ear, while he complained about the pain and Annabeth messing up his glasses, as they left a very confused blonde boy in front of the Big House.

*Annabeth and Jason are experiencing the pain that comes from having an OTP. News at 11, right after this linebreak.*

"What were they so worked up about?"

"You're probably just reading way into this, dude."

"Yeah, but you should've seen how nervous Annabeth and Jason were. They almost NEVER get nervous!"

"Okay, that is a bit weird."

"HA! I'd knew you'd agree with me."

"I'm just concerned for my other friends."

"…So, we're friends now?"

"Solace, did you think I just hung around you because I was bored?"

"Wait, you don't?"

"Sarcasm doesn't work for you."

"Neither does it for you, Death Head."

I actually never really got behind the Rachel/Nico ship when it was a thing, but I am in love with them having some sort of bromance, for some reason. Maybe because they both liked Percy or something like that, I guess.

There should be a "Had a crush on Percy but got over it" club. Reyna and Calypso would definitely join. Percy would just be weirded out. Annabeth would approve.

Also, I don't know if I'll be updating every day, but I can say for sure that I will have an update on Monday. Whether it be the next chapter or the one after, I'm not sure, but there will be one. You'll see why when I do.

Welp. Bye for now!
