I guess this is probably gonna be the last story chapter...Wow, so much for a supposed long month. But let's say I am sorta wanting to start on other fics, but let's just say I'll make new fics anytime. Plus hope y'all enjoyed these ummm short stories and perhaps someday ima make something similar to this...and...
Dang I'm eating Japanese food... Its delicious but... Not really the point here. But SERIOUSLY! Tower of Nero is the last book in Trials of Apollo... AND... Camp Half-Blood series.
So it's 15/15. This is super sad because I hope Uncle Rick can continue although he didn't sign any contracts about new books and stuff but I'm still looking forward to check out if someday he writes new books. Same goes for the soon to be Percy Jackson TV series and I also heard bout the Kane Chronicles thing too. Hope Magnus Chase can also make it.

BUT noooooooo this chapter IS NOT meant for my awesome and fantastic( and awkward) speech. Dang. I still haven't thought of any... Ideas for this chapter... Still..1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... 9...10... NOPE! I'm pissed. No idea yetttt... Andddddd... Never mind. Ima take a shower and finish up this 'chapter'.
Okay I'm back...and well this might disappoint you if I suddenly get a super duper short one or boring and stuff. Honestly... MY VOCABULARY SUCKS...! Please enjoy the last chapter of Stay Stupid. Suddenly writing just makes me realise...sooo why did I name it 'Stay Stupid'. I have no idea, just popped into my mind in school a few months ago and I'm like AHA! BOOM! I got the idea.
So very very long note here. Let's just get started.
"So you are just gonna shove an untested potion into my boyfriend?!"Will started freaking out more than usual.
" Yeah, what's up? "Lou Ellen popped her bubble.
Will raised his brow, "We're you even listening to me?"
"Huh? Wha'cha say again?"
"You know what never mind because you really are deaf... No offence."
"None taken. I wasn't even listening."
The door opened with the creaking sound which Will found very disturbing. Making a mental note to put up flyers of how we should fix doors now.
Nico walked in, "Ugh... I hate these doors...so Lou El', you called me over and it better not be some random experiments and potions that HAVEN'T been tested."
Lou Ellen shuffled nervously, "Heh Heh..."She looked at Will who just Shook his head at her helplessly and walked away to read some books about healing magic.
Nico tapped his foot,"I'm out!"
"Wait,but I haven't ev-"
"I know it's a potion that isn't tested."
"Aww c'mon! How are you so good at these things?"
"Because!"
Lou Ellen assumed the 'Because' was the finish off of the conversation until Nico had to say that line.
"... I'm a genius" Nico took sunglasses out of nowhere and put them on. Lou Ellen groaned, "Really?"
Nico nodded his head and grinned at her. Will called from across the room, "Lou, if you're gonna shove it down my boyfriend's throat. It gotta be unexpected!"
Nico laughed, "Will, I'm right here so I definitely know how to expect the unexpected. So-"
Loy Ellen shoved a ghostly green potion down his throat. Nico stuttered, "Lo-HEY!"
Nico spat out some of that disgusting and uncertainly dangerous potion out, "NOT FUNNY!"
Lou Ellen burst out laughing, "Hahaha! So you can't expect the expected?" Will came over and snickered, "That was hilarious!"
"Not the point if it was funny or not. The main point here is what will the effects be? Lou, have you gotten any idea-"
"No."
Lou Ellen frowned, "Oh well.."
"Don't 'Oh Well' me! This is serious!"
Will's fingers tapped some rhythms on the desk, "So when does the effects happen?" Sounding a bit hopeful. Will briefly recalled his memories of Lou Ellen's potion victims in his mind. He shuddered as one of them turned a camper into a spider for a week. Worst of all, the camper was a child of Athena. Being a spider was scary enough but... Adding child of athena onto the plate. Heck no.
He drifted away from his thoughts when Nico suddenly started glowing an emerald green light which was so bright that he had to cover his eyes for the sake of not getting blind. Lou Ellen did the same and her voice sounded like it was through a hairdryer, "Guess that's our answer."
Lou Ellen peered through her hands and saw that the light seemed to grow smaller but not any less brighter.
oOo
It faded away into a small boy who looked around the age of 10, his eyes were black, but slightly brown and he had olive skin. His hair was black but not raven. Strangely, he was holding some figure which seemed to be some god or something.
Will processed what he just saw. He reconized those eyes, that face...he blurted out, not even thinking, "Nico?"
'Nico' who Lou and Will hadn't confirmed was Nico titled his head, "Ermm... Who are you people. Where is my sister! Where am I?!" His voice was like an octive higher than Nico.
Will widened his eyes in surprised, "Okay... Not Nico."
"So you're just gonna ignore my questions?!"
"Yeah, let's just leave the kid here and find Nico." Lou Ellen frowned.
Someone opened the door with that... Ugh... Creaking noise.
Lou, Will and even the kid shouted, "Fix the door already!"
Suddenly Lou and Will looked at the kid with a confused look on their face. The kid shrugged, "What?!"
The person who had to get that creaking noise rigged in their ears again apparently was Percy. He looked at the kid and blinked twice, giving his head to process what he saw and did a double check.
"Nico?!"
Lou Ellen and Will went full on focus at Percy, their face... Was priceless.
Percy almost laughed but the confusion of 'Nico' held it back.
Will stammered, "Wha...-How?! Th-th-that can't be..."He continued," Him... "
Percy turned to Lou Ellen who was still frozen in shock, 'Potion?"
"What else new in store?"
Percy sighed, "Nico is de-aged into a kid."
"Ten year old! Weirdo!"
"Welp... He lost his memories of being 11 to 14. And by the looks of it... He hasn't found out about his voodoo vice manic and his sister."
Nico out his hands on his hips and whined like a little kid, "What bout my sister? Who are you people?"
"Told 'ya, " Percy clicked his tongue.
Will and Lou just stared silently and was not liking how this will go. Ten year old Nico stepped back and placed his hands into a defensive position, "Where is my sister? How do you know me?"
Percy stood there for a moment to think, his grin was still holding on, "Umm... Your my cousin..."Percy smiled,
" Twice removed... "
"You're my cousin?" Nico asked in disbelief and 'twice removed' did not quite convince him.
"Yeah I'm Percy, so your dad is technacally my dad's... Er... Bro." Bro did not sound right in Hades and Poseidon's case.Thoigh Percy had to stay friendly and not go crazy trying to explain to the kid how his dad is some underworld major olympian god who eats nachos and sits there, cracking some TERRIBLE puns and saying YOUR DEAD! HAHAHA! GET A LIFE! Hahaha... Get it? Errmmm...forgot that.
Will broke the 10 seconds of silence, "Shoyld I be concerned he is de-aged and is not really my well my...?"
"My what? I'm friends with you?! No way, b-but you're so... Annoying and perky!"
Will scowled, "I haven't even done anything?!"
"Well anyone can tell!"
Will turned to Percy (I love the word 'turn' now), "So when can I go back to the imfirmary?"
"After we figure this out!"
He groaned and gave Nico a look who just related him with look which said 'Too bad so sad' with his toungue sticking out.
Poor Lou was still frozen until Percy called her, "Lou? Lou? Lou!"
"Huh? Wha?!" Lou spun around to face him so quickly and suddenly she almost tripped.
Percy rubbed his eyes, "Lou, you good? 'Cause do you know when does wears off?"
"I have no idea. Probably around a few hours, like most of my potions."
"Great... If it's permenant?"
"Too bad for him." She glanced at the ten year old Nico who was making faces, shouting insults and stomping his legs at Will. Percy stood next to her, "Yeah, he and Will definitely would be enemies for a while."
They watched the two angrily shout things at each other. Before they could wait for those pleasant beachy music to play like those movies and TV shows. And how a specks of light would shoot at the camera which makes things feel simple and nice and beautiful...
Reality: *BEEP* It's lunch...
Percy groaned, "Lunch!"
"Yeah, forgot that *BEEP*"
"LANGUAGE! We got one innocent pair of ears" Will shouted causing Nico to scowl. Nico raised his brow at him, "Shut up!"
Percy sighed, "We gotta explain this to Chiron."
"That's a cool name! But... Who is Chiron and who are you weirdos? Nico asked staring at Lou and Will.
Will snorted," I can't believe that's Nico! "
Percy patted him on the back,"You have no idea."
Lou Ellen suggested, "How 'bout I' ll go to the Big House and explain this. But...can one of you come with me-"
Percy quickly gave a slight and oh so generous smile, "Nah. You got it all covered, I'll be ummm... Dealing with Nico here."
Lou turned to Will who immediately looked aeya whistling normally, "Oh... Huh? No thanks. I'm... Also dealing with him."
Lou Ellen sighed and walked to the door. Percy, Will and Nico said, "DOOR!"
Lou quickly stepped away from that door and saluted, "Sayonara." She jumped out of the window. A loud Thump was heard 3 seconds later along with the the rustling sounds of leaves and tree.
Honestly Nico had litterally no idea what is going on. But seeing that girl jump out of the friggin' window...
Percy turned to Nico, "Okay, so... Lemme explain stuff to you first..." He looked at Will who placed his hands up in surrender, "I'm not dealing with him!"
Nico rolled his eyes, "Right, Mr Burnt Pancakes."
"Burnt Pancakes? Really?! Shortie Brat!" Will shot back.
Percy took a deep breath, "Okay okay! Both of you stay calm..."Percy silently smirked at the Shortie Brat nickname.
Will gave Nico a quick stink eye who just stuck his tongue at him, he was about to open that door...
"DOOR!" Nico and Percy shouted.
Will mumbled, "That cursed door..."
He took some random blanket from the shelf and spread his arms wide, "Watch and learn, newbie!" His eyes were obviously pointed at Nico.
He positioned the blanket to cover him, "Ermm... Teleport!
He threw it up in the air and ran away to the curtains.
Percy slapped his head," We all saw you Will. "
" You saw... NOTHING! "
Will clambered near the window, clumsily tripping. Will turned to them," You didn't see me! "
He jumped out of the window... THUMP! CRACK!
"Owwwww!"
Percy and Nico just looked at each other and shrugged.
oOo
"Long story short.
Your a demigod. Half god, half human. You're from 1930s, mom died, got stuck in some hotel that makes time go 100x faster... 70 years goes bye bye. Your a son of Hades. Later, you go to Camp half-blood. Your sis died to sacrifice herself, you ran away doing some cool underworld-dy magic whatnot. Then blah blah blah you got tricked by some manic old ghost and then you helped fight the Kronos problem. He is a total bummer. And then, you found some bozard Roman Camp and went on a exploring trip to Tartarus, BUT the ride home was not very pleasant cause it almost got you killed...then you led the Argo ll crew minus me and Annabeth who is currently taking the long way trip to Tartarus just to get to some stupid door. Well the big bad is Gaia. And she's gone now. Leo died and came back... You met... Cecil... Son of Hermes. Lou aka the crazy person who got you de aged... And-dddd... Will Solace who soons becomes your boyfriend who is super over protective and annoying plus add doctor to the plate. "Percy took a deep breath and panted.
Nico blinked," What?! "
Percy drank some water," Take it or leave it... My hard work of explaining. "
Nico frowned," O.. Kay. "He spu around as his hands still frozen. He faced the wooden wall
Percy quickly said, " So you got some teleporting powers. Like teleport through shadows... But...PLEASE DON'T TRY IT! " Percy litterally screamed. He knew the consequences of Nico popping over somewhere in China or throne room of Olympus. He also worries a bit of people's wellbeings when a 10 year old kid just popped out of nowhere starting to call people nicknames, that's very scary.
Too risky...
Percy and Nico were in the Poseidon cabin. When Lou informed Chiron about de-aged problem. He turned a deaf ear and told Percy to deal with it while he kept rubbing his forehead and sighing, kicking at the dust with his hooves. Typical Chiron.
When Leo heard was trying out his new war plugs for listening with a wide radius.
He happened to heard some words like:
Kiss me... Honey!... Let's prank... What?!...*BEEP*...Hy-ah!...Im gay... Nico is de aged?!... Deal with it Percy... Lou's potions... Sayonara...I'm in love... (A very off key) I BELIEVE I CAN FLY!!!
And tons of embarassesing stuff campers had said, even a mumble or whisper can be heard. Plus, you know Leo...
When he heard Nico is De-aged?! And Lou's potion. He went AHA! And started the Leo's Bad boy MCSHIZZLE... (It goes on...)...gossip magazine. He seriously needed some naming lessons... Even 'AHA Magazine' could settle for a name. When people read this they go like AHA! See? Makes sense...
Leo fixed the last screw onto his new Night Vision 'Googles', he decided to make a new one after the incident that happened a few months ago... He grinned, "Dang... Nico is De-aged. Great story!
He told this to Jason who told this to Piper
who told Hazel who told Frank who told Annabeth who told... Percy.
" So Nico is De-aged by Lou's potions. "
Percy blinked," WAIT! How did you know that? "
Annabeth pursed her lips,"Well Leo heard it with his ear plugs invention and told Jason who started the De-aged tradition that soon passed on to me and well... I am telling you. "
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK! (Sigh...i know right, knock just seems so stupid... I should've done some thumping or like the wood sounds.)
Percy yelled," Yeah is that the pizza delivery? "
"No! Knock knock!"
"Who the Hades is there?"
"De"
"De whaaaa?"
"De-aged interviewers"
"DON'T COME IN!"
The door creaked open. 7 groans were heard. This creaking sound the door makes is just so disturbing and irritating somehow.
Leo waved, "Ayeeee! Wha'cha bros and dudes... Well... Annabeth doing!"
Annabeth sat down on Percy's bed, "Hi!"
Percy bit his lip, "Oh hey guys!"
Leo starting doing a small dance with his hands, "So-o-o-o...you told 'em yet?"
"Guys, well I know already actually."
The other 4 demigods from the back said, "Wait, what?!
"I guess Leo told you all about Nico getting de-aged from Lou's potion?"Percy moistened his lips.
Everyone leaned forward...
"Well, it's true." Percy sighed in exhaustedly.
Everyone started hi-fiving like I told ya so!
"BUT...!" Percy's voice echoed around the cabin as the lively tension died down. That 'but' word is billboard topper in breaking the tension.
"He lost his memories of being 11 to 14 and also all bout demigods, Camp half blood and all. Plus Will litterally is his rival enemy now. Here's the thing, he is ten years old now. But you already know that... Ah yes, Nico had a mental breakdown somewhere in the Hades cabin when I told him about Will being his boyfriend. Fact is: the boyfriend topic seems to be more extreme and shocking than his own sister's death and the demigod business. "
Someone jumped in the window," Hey, Percy! "
Percy looked behind the seven and said," Oh hi Nico! "
The seven turned around and found themselves facing a highly energetic and cheerful boy who was jumping around excitedly.
Litterally the opposite of the same Nico from what? Yesterday?!
Percy had some explaining to do...
oOo
Nico jumped on Jason's back, "I WANNA PIGGY BACK!"
Jason grinned, he was so enjoying this, "Ooo how bout one in superman version."
"YAY!"
Piper mouth was hanging wide open, "I can't believe that's Nico."
Annabeth sighed, "You've being saying that for the past few hours. It's the 167th time."
"B-but... He's so ermm... Different." Hazel stared at Jason and Nico.
"Yeah I know right. It's worth 1000 times of saying: I can't believe that's Nico!" Annabeth closed her eyes and shook her head slightly.
Frank leaned over the edge of the bed, "Yeah...I wonder how Percy and Leo is doing, buying those stuff."
CRASH! THUMP! BOOM!
Will crashed through the roof, "Arghh I am so frustrated."
Everyone stared at him like he did NOT crash through the roof.
Nico stepped forward, "Ooooo! I wonder how you can feel better."
Will narrowed his eyes at Nico, he gritted his teeth, "My day just keeps getting worse."
Nico complained, "What did I do to you?"
"I don't know? Maybe you have some magical aura that makes people more annoyed."
"Hmph!" Nico crossed his arms and pouted.
Everyone else in the room just gawked at them as their conversation just starts and ends so randomly and amazingly.
Nico smirked, "So... I guessing Doctor needs some hugs?" He did not feel any sympathy for him.
"Yeah, sorry but... Your a bit too short and tiny for it. Watch the bones." Will grinned.
"BURNNNNNN!" Everyone else shouted.
"I'm sorry but, you need to shut up, old man!"
"BURNNNNNNNNNNN!"
"Please be on your best behavior... Young man!"
"OOHHHHHHH!"
"Make me!"
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
oOo
Percy said, "We've been kicked out of Target, Yogurt store, H M, McDonald's, Starbucks, the supermarket, Basket Robins and Marks Spencer. "
Leo was wearing his unicorn outfit, "I know right! AWESOME! Hey look! We're almost t at Walmart!"
"Oh ho ho...let's go!"
They were grinning and joking as Percy's phone was in his pocket opened with DemiChat, along with a message sent by him:
We're gonna buy some stuff for Nico. 3:12 p.m.
Leo picked his phone up which brightly shined in his face.
Percy gagged, "Leo! Your phone! I can litterally see its reflection very clear on the car window! I'm gonna have car sickness!"
"Says the dude who usually looks at his phone 24/7 when NOT driving."
"Well the phone wasn't even opened! I was checking my face in the reflection."
"Narcissus!"
"Curse your own bowl of peanuts!"
"Don't play the Hephateus card on me!"
oOo
Will and Nico's battle went on for like a few hours. They always had something to throw in at each others face without even hesitation.
They circled each other like those duals where they would be in the west wild like," Ye GOIN DOWN! Yee-haw! "
Someone knocked the door which just disturbed the battle.
Will and Nico both yelled, "DOOOR!"
The knocking stopped and soon two people in a unicorn outfit and in a Nemo outfit which made them look like some colourful splatters.
Percy and Leo both chorused, "Hi guys!!"
Nico grumbled, "You disturbed the battle between me and Doc!" Will crossed his arms at Nico.
Leo did the finger guns at Nico, "So still 10 year old?"
"Yeah! But it's kinda weird all this *BEEP*-"
"LANGUAGE!"
"Seriously?!"
Frank spoke up, "So when is the potion gonna wear off?"
Annabeth clapped her hands unenthusiasticlly, "First logical question!"
Percy rested his elbow on Annabeth's shoulder, "As Frank was sayin', I guess we got a few minutes left... Since well Lou did some research and it's only for 12 hours..."
Everyone stared at Nico waiting for something to happen.
Nico shifted nervously, "Okay, listen people! If happens in like a few minutes, so can I enjoy my last moments as a young person." All evidence litterally pointed at Will. His ten year old whiny boyfriend just shaded him...
Jason said, "Well, actually-"
"Actually, the last few minutes been were you and Will..."Piper's eyes widened.
Nico look around to see everyone staring at him. Nico mentally slapped himself, I guess here I go. Though I wonder how my 14 year old is like? Wait why the heck are those weirdos staring at me when some super blinding light might blind them. 8 have no idea... He went unconscious for a few seconds.
Nico was on the ground groaning, "What just happened?"
Nico saw the seven and Will surrounding him. He was wearing his black T-shirt, black pants... Everything check...
He looked at the bedside clock, "Nine Fourty six P. M.? WHAT HAPPENED TO NINE IN THE MORNING?!"
Mememories came to him. He remembered himself being 10 year old. And Will battling him...him being a whiny kid... Most importantly now, he is back to 14.
Leo dramatically gasped. Nico used the same death glare from yesterday.
"Seriously Leo?!"
Will gave a sheepish grin, "Heh Heh..."
Nico slammed some paper on the bed, "I'm NOT done with you!"
"Well... You got turned into a 10 year old..." Hazel said sweetly. She bit her tongue nervously.
Everyone else in the room shivered at the memory. Thankfully Nico didn't remember...
"I remember, you idiots!" Nico grumbled and placed his hands on his Hips. Nico pulled the 'DIE!' glare on all of them, "...And...I WAS NOT CUTE!"
Everyone just stared at him. They all looked at each other, then to Nico, then to themselves, then to Nico, then to themselves. It was like a never-lasting
'You do it! No you! I'm busy! We're litterally doing the same thing! Just look at the dood!'
Leo finally gave up learning mental conversations, "Er... So now what?"
Piper muttered walking away, "Re-considering my life choices..."
Jason frowned and shook his head slightly, "I thought I enjoyed being superman..."
"... Yee-haw..." Will mumbled.
Frank placed his hands in the air,"I was a cat! I swear the cuddling was my animal brain!"
Percy burst out laughing, Leo grinned, in a sing-song voice, "Busted!"
"You think you did nothing, Valdez?" Nico threatened him. Leo gulped and backed away
"You too, Percy!" Nico glanced at Percy.
Hazel and Annabeth just sat down awkwardly. Everyone just looked at Nico, waiting for him to say something.
"No one better know about this."
oOo
During that one moment:
Lou crouched in the bushes with Connor, Travis, Nyssa, Katie, Mirnada, Sherman, Clarrise, Cecil and Chiron. Lou turned around and looked at the large crowd, "I got 13 pictures of him as a 10 year old. Plus a video of him whining and being cute. AND the battle of Solangelo!"
Everyone cheered. Travis did his best pinky pie voice, "LET'S PARTAY!"
"WOOOOOOOOO!"
