Nico sat down at the Argo II crew (plus lovers) table at the dining Pavillion, it was dinnertime and Nico was absolutely done with life. All day he had been training the younger students, and he got the two most annoying cabins to train Aphrodite and Heracles. There were only a few Heracles kids since it was a new cabin but those kids were the definition of macho, even the girls.

Most of the Aphrodite kids weren't keen on breaking the "girly kids" stereotype, but Nico was thankful for the kids who were tomboys and willing to get dirty, the Heracles kids just wanted to show off their brute force and not use their brains at all.

Nico groaned and pushed his plate forward, putting his arms on the table and laying his face into them, he could faintly hear Will's voice talking about how amazing he was, did Nico forget to mention that he had to train the Apollo Cabin too? Well, now he did.

"Nico looked so good when he was training all those kids! He's really good at it!" Will said over-enthusiastically, stuffing his chicken salad into his mouth, "This one Heracles kid kept on bragging about himself so Nico went one on one with him as  'demonstration' and he kicked that kid's butt!"

"What's his name?" Percy asked, still chewing his blue pizza. Annabeth noticed he didn't swallow his food and smacked him lightly on the arm, scolding him like a mum.

"Cayden," Will answered.

"His name is Asshole," Nico groaned, his voice slightly muffled by the table.

"Oh yeah, I had to train him too, he's annoying," Jason agreed, wrapping his arm around Piper.

"Nico totally put him in his rank!" Will said with the enthusiasm of a small child.

"Nico this Nico that, could you please stop talking about me? You won't even remember my last name in ten years," Nico muttered, his face still in his arms and his plate of food still left untouched.

"That's because in ten years you'll have my last name," Will said grinning.

Nico immediately perked up, his face as red as his spaghetti sauce, silence ran through the table, no one speaking a single word, even Leo was speechless.

"Clink clink bitches," Jason finally said, swishing around his cup full of orange juice, "I call dibs on first toast."

Everyone burst out laughing and even Nico was grinning, his face slowly turning its natural hue of pale Italian ghost.

"I call dibs on being Best Woman!" Hazel joked, covering her smile with her mouth like a dainty little girl.

"I call being the DJ!" Leo yelled, his hair lighting on fire, Calypso grabbed her cup of water and put out the flames.

"Yeah yeah, let's focus on the present," Nico said, waving his fork in the air and laughing along with his friends, he finally found his place.
