Chapter 4
"Nico, why are we getting our hair brushed in the Aprodihes cabin?" Nico was sitting down Indian style looking particularly moody as a small boy of twelve with big doe brown eyes brushed his hair. "Because, Will, twelve year olds are little monsters. That's why." He glared at the young boy he saw earlier "especially when they can do charm speak." The boy (who they found was named Max Merilious) pouted "I wish I can do charm speak, you just came here out of your own free will." Nico did not look entirely convinced of this.
Despite Nico's and Will's outer demeanor though they truly enjoyed the cabin members company. For starters they were pleasantly surprised (and slightly horrified) to find that on many matters the Aprodihes cabin wits could rivals Athena's cabin. True, the majority weren't book smart, or could navigate and manipulate a battle field the same way. But what their skills lied in were majorly under-rated.
For example, the red head they meet earlier? (Her name is Alice Pines) Knows all the chemicals and results like the back of her hand. As Alice told them, she realized how harmful most makeups were, so she made her own. Which started her love for Chemistry, not only can she make, Make-up but she could also create other chemical compounds. For example a potion to make a person realize there truest feelings (and this is only one of them). And Max, while he was no charm speaker, could (on a small level, but impressive no less) manipulate the emotions around him and has a high emotional intelligence (not on the supernatural level, but terrifyingly close). But also, they were just fun to be around.
To deal with for having to sit still for so long Nico and Will bounced a bright green bouncy ball the size of their fist at each other playing a game of Twenty one questions (and counting) "So Will, favorite color?" Will thought about it for a moment "Gold. You?" Nico shrugged " Silver" Will looked at him curiously "really? I thought it would be black?" Nico pause for a moment "black is a awesome color, but, Silver reminds me of my sister." Will paused for a moment "I bet she was a awesome sister." Nico appreciated the lack of questions and smiled sadly "one of the best."
As they went back and forth with there game the twins stared at them for a second then looked at each other "So Mark, what did you get?" Mark stared of at them again and then back at his brother "they don't quite like each other in that way yet, but they seem to feel to be more compatible than others and they are on the right path. You?" Jack (the other twin) stared of at them and back at his brother "They defiantly have what it takes to be a couple." Ever since the twins were small children Mark is a empathic, able to know what emotions the people around him felt. And Jack was able to tell what relationships people had, have, or what could be. Connecting them like strings. Early on in life both brothers decided to use these abilities to become the ultimate match-makers. Wither it would help with Family members, friendships, (or in this case) romance.
"so, Jack, what's the plan?" Jack shrugged "right now, we have to play the waiting game, see if they will develop feelings for each other, or even need our help. Which, at this pace I highly doubt they'll defiantly need our help, but still, you can never be too sure." Mark sagged his shoulders "awww... but that's so boring." Jack shrugged "true, but it works in our favor. When this is over we don't want people to know our good match- making skills. They would never come to us. This gives us time to think of how to make other people think that they did all the hard work." Mark nodded "alright, so after that, what's the plan?" Jack nodded diabolically "first, we need to make a truce with the Party Ponies."

"Percy, I still cant believe you adopted a kitten while I was out!"
"Annabeth, you were taking forever!"
"I was gone for five minutes, and I thought you didn't even like cats!" Percy shrugged "Usually? I don't. But, I found this one swimming in a river. She likes water!" He held the kitten up she had ink black fur and wide sea green eyes as she was being held up she looked at Annabeth and purred softly "... alright, you win this battle, but I get to name her." Percy smiled at Annabeth "deal."
