After Nico told everyone what happened - Jason was smiling like a lunatic - including the thing about the first Cupid encounter, we all decided to understand it and move on. Nico really wasn't feeling that bad but he was feeling slightly discouraged. Everyone said their farewells and left but I stayed behind.

"Did... Did you really mean what you said about liking me?" I finally ask.

"Yeah. I did but I understand if you-"

"I would not have let you kiss me if I didn't like you, you goon!" I leap up from my spot and hug the son of Hades.

"Then, Skylar Rey Coast, will you go out with me?" Nico smirks and puts an arm around me.

Nico and I stay in his cabin hanging out until the dinner horn sounds. I sigh and pull Nico up to his feet with both of us whining in protest. We walk out of his cabin and to dinner hand in hand. Everyone stops talking and looks at Nico and I when we arrive. I look over at the Poseidon table where everyone is. Piper, Jason, Annabeth, Hazel, and Reyna are smiling; Frank is amused by, I'm guessing, Percy's red and displeased face.

The look in Percy's eyes is enough to make me laugh which breaks the silence. Several cabins burst into rounds of roaring whoops and hollers, others wolf-whistle, and the Aphrodite table squeal and exchange money. Nico lets out a short but angelic laugh and everyone stops.

"Oh my gods! Nico di Angelo laughed!" a random camper yells.

"Yeah and I'll do it again!" Nico shouts back and smiles widely showing off his perfectly white teeth.

There's a banging in the front. Every head in a twenty foot radius turns towards Chiron. The centaur bows his head and his tail flicks.

"I am here to congratulate the two demigods Nico di Angelo and Skylar Rey Coast for their success in the most recent quest. They have saved the world which seems to be a popular activity lately. As a reward from the camp, neither of you have chorus for a week and have one free day from all activities which you can choose." The Mess explodes in shouting and applause.

Just as Nico and I are about to sit down, a flash of light consumes us and we appeare in a giant marble palace in a room like a throne room. Twelve ten foot tall males and females sit in specially made thrones. There are four in front of us that stood out. Sitting in a fishing chair wearing a blue Hawaiian shirt was Poseidon, next to him is a bearded man wearing a storm cloud projection suit, next to them, a tall lady with straight raven black hair in a green shimmering dress, and then, in a smaller throne, a man wearing a black robe that seemed to shimmer with the faces of the damned.

"Young heroes, we have summoned you here to... Reward you for successfully coming back from your quest. We will let you ask for one thing and give it to you. Uh, with in reason of course." The man with the suit says.

"Wait. I'm guessing you're Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Hades, and the rest of the Olympians?"

"Yes. Was it not obvious?" Hades asks in a slightly bored tone.

"She's new, father. Let her adjust first." Nico says with a strained voice. I can tell he's trying not to be even slightly impolite.

"Fine, son. I am more lenient then my brother, Zeus. Though, you might have more luck with Mister Boat-Boy over there."

"Oh, Soul Sucker, be kind. We're celebrating our kids' success in a life threatening quest. This doesn't happen too often ya know." Poseidon is calm and completely chilled out unlike his brothers. 

"Really? I thought it was only a year ago that your son saved the world from Gaea and the year before that from the Titans. And Zeus's son helped with those wars as well." Nico clears his throat. "Ah, yes, and my son for shadow-traveling the Athena Parthenos half way across the world." Hades waves off Nico's insane accomplishment like he as saying: Oh, my son brushed his teeth today.

Nico's eyes glow red, "Yeah, father. I only helped combine the two camps, saved you from split personality, almost melted into a shadow permanently, and am probably one of the biggest reasons why the Seven were able to defeat the giants because if it weren't for me, you and the rest of the gods wouldn't have been able to help kill them with your kids. Oh, and sorry I wasn't there to help Hazel and you, I was busy trying not to die and trying to keep the camps from killing each other!" Nico's eyes are almost as bright as the sun.

"Oh, calm yourself down, Nico." Waves of shadows radiated off Nico like the waves during a storm.

"Neeks, calm down. Don't listen to him." I say trying to use Aphrodite's gift. Nico tears his eyes from Hades and looks at me. The red glow dims until all I see are light brown ones that I've never seen before. Nico looks like an angel.

"Anyway, your wishes?" Poseidon asked and Nico and I look back up at the gods - all except Hades.

"Yes. Sorry. Nico?" I ask while looking at him.

"I'm okay."

"What?" Zeus sneers.

"I don't really want anything."

Zeus's nostrils flare, "Fine, Sky?"

"I want to finish what my brother started. I know Jason tried to get all the gods honored but I want to make cabins for the gods of the Underworld. There are children of all sorts and it's not fair if a demigod of, say, Nyx comes into camp with no where to stay. I want all of them to have a fair chance. Also, no more ignoring us when things get bad. We're lost enough without you shutting us out and refusing to say anything. "

"Alright, you have our word. We will make your requirements-"

"Oh! And can I get more original Sharpies?" The gods all look at me with a questioning gaze.

"Um, okay. You will get every original Sharpie there is as well. That isn't really a difficult wish so you can have it."

"Swear on the Styx."

"You really are Perseus's sister. Yes, the Council swears on the River Styx to follow through to our best ability to your wishes. You are dismissed." In a flash of light, we're back in the Mess which is now empty.

"Alone."

"Yeah." Nico smirks and leans in. Our lips touch.

"Hey! No, no, no, no. There will be no kissing until Sky is fifteen."

"Percy?"

"What?"

"My birthday is next week." Percy growls but his gaze softens.

"Listen, Sky, I'm sorry for not seeing you off. I really wanted to be there but I didn't want to watch you leave before even getting to know you. Especially since there was a possibility you wouldn't come back." Percy's voice cracks and I step forward to give him a hug. Percy wraps his arms around me and holds me close.

When we separate, Percy turns to Nico, "You treat her well or my fatal flaw of being too loyal will go out the window. You hear me?"

"Loud and clear." Nico smiles at Percy and Percy grins back then leaves.

Nico and I walk along the beach until curfew. He then walks me back to my cabin and kisses me goodnight even though Percy said no kissing until I'm fifteen. I walk into Cabin Three.

"I really hope he didn't kiss you." I jump at the sound of Percy's voice.

"What you don't know won't hurt you." I smile at him and jump in my bed just as a pillow flies by.

Percy and I fling pillows at each other until Jason comes in and shocks us.

"I really hope this doesn't become a regular thing." Jason grumbles and sparks out the door. Literally sparks - his arms were shooting electricity.

"I think the other half of Brason is angry." Percy states.

"What's Brason?"

And so, Percy spends the next two hours explaining all the different ship names the Aphrodite cabin has made. Here's my list:

Funniest - Brason (Jason and his brick)

Most Disturbing - Percico (Percy and Nico)

Cutest - Percabeth (Percy and Annabeth)

Weirdest - Pipabeth (Piper and Annabeth)

Most Interesting - Rico (Reyna and Nico) I have no idea who Reyna is.

Seriously though, do the Aphrodite cabin really have nothing better to do than make ships? I mean, come on, they have so many that you can throw out your common love triangle. They made this camp into one weird love shape... Actually, it's not even a shape.

"Piper's siblings really need to get a life." I laugh as Percy nods in agreement.

"Piper and some of the younger ones and guys are okay. The rest need help."

"That's what Nico said when I first sat at his table." I remember the day and smile.

"Nico and I have gotten so close, we practically have the same mind set." Percy admits and then shuts off the light.

"Hey!" I shout.

"I personally don't feel like being electrocuted by Spark Plug next door." I keep my mouth shut.

"I heard that!" Jason yells from next door. Percy and I chuckle and then go to bed.
