178 views! I am on a roll! By the way, you'll be meeting my OC soon. *wink wink* And by soon, I mean probably at most 10 chapters later. I have this great idea to put her in. You will not see it coming. Like, never. Well, maybe if you read a lot of Percico, then maybe you'll guess. Eh. On with the story!

Percy rolled over and his eyes met chocolate brown ones. He yelped and scrambled away, thinking it was Nico. 

  "Hey." Bianca grinned at him, laughing her head off. "Having fun?"

  "Well I was, at least until you almost gave me a heart attack!"

  "Yeah, I know." Bianca held up a a phone. "Got it all on camera. Going to use it for blackmail."

  "Give me that!" Percy lunged at her. She laughed and flew up into the sky, waving the olive green phone, daring Percy to come and get it. Percy tried to fly after her, (key word tried) but he had only had one flying lesson and was not exactly excelling in it. He recalled that he had eaten some dirt at least 7 times and gotten more than a few broken bones. 

  After a few minutes of screaming and 1 minute of puking, Percy managed to get high enough to grab Bianca's foot. Bianca looked down from texting and flew off to who-knows-where, dragging Percy along with her. Percy looked down and screamed a girly scream, not really trusting himself to fly properly if he fell.

  Bianca chuckled. "Got that on camera too." Percy whimpered and clung on to Bianca's leg. "Where are you taking me and are we going to be there soon?"

  "You'll find out when we get there." Bianca replied. "Ah, there it-Oof!" A bird flew straight into her and they tumbled in midair for a few seconds until Bianca stopped and righted herself. The same could not be said for Percy. He had hung on to Bianca's shoe, which had fallen off her foot, and was now desperately flapping his arms and trying (and failing) to flap his wings.  Bianca thought he'd make an excellent chicken, though he probably wouldn't taste that great. Or lay decent eggs. Or any eggs, or that matter.

  Luckily for Percy, he fell through a hole in the roof of a building and landed on somebody's head. Judging by the angry 'ow' sound, the 'somebody' was probably Beckendorf. 

  "Sorry, Beckendorf!" Percy shouted. "It was Bianca and the bird's fault!"

  Beckendorf stood up, rubbing his head and wincing. "Really, Jackson? Of all the people you could've landed on, you landed on me? Why couldn't you land on Castellan and make him forget I owe him fifty bucks?"

  Percy looked up and saw a horrified Nico di Angelo staring at him. Percy felt his face heat up. Of all the people he could've screwed up in front of, he had  to screw up in front of the most beautiful person on the planet. Just his luck. He mentally cursed the god/goddess of bad luck. (Yes, I know Tyche/Fortuna is the goddess of luck, but I'm pretty sure it's good luck she's in charge of. I think. Tell me if I'm wrong. I get a lot of stuff wrong these days.)

  ~An hour before~

  Nico was just minding his own business at the Chaos McDonalds when his sister appeared on his table, squashing his fries under her boot.

  "Bianca!" Nico protested. "The fries are the best part of the Happy Meal!"

  Bianca shrugged. "You can still eat them. They'll just be all mushy and gross and will probably make you sick."

  Nico scowled. "What do you want?"

  "Come with me." Bianca motioned for Nico to follow her.

  "What if I refuse?" Nico was still mad about his fries.

  "Then I'll crush more of your food until you agree." Bianca answered.

  Nico huffed. "Fine. But I want to take my Happy Meal."

  Bianca shrugged and skipped off towards Chaos' headquarters.

  ~Back to present time~

  Nico sat down in the corner, hugging his McDonalds' takeaway bag. He glared at anyone who looked at his bag, even Bianca.

  "Bianca?" Silena asked. "Why are we here?"

  Bianca grinned evilly. "We are going to play Truth or Dare."

  "That doesn't sound so bad." Luke said hopefully.

  "With truth potion." Bianca added.

  Luke gulped. "Never mind."

  "And whoever chickens out has to tell Gabby they secretly have a crush on her." Bianca finished.

  Gabrielle-or Gabby for short-was a little 6-year-old who had somehow gotten on Planet Chaos. Nobody had any idea who she was or how she had gotten here, not even Chaos, but nobody had the heart to send her back to Earth, so now she lived in Chaos' headquarters. She was weirdly smart, and she knew way more than a normal 6-year-old should.  

  Luke and Percy ran for the door. "Oh, by the way, I locked the doors, the windows and you can't teleport or shadow-travel out of here."

  Everyone slumped and drank some of the truth potion. "Fine."

  "Alright, let's start." Bianca produced a bottle and spun it. It landed on Zoe.

  "Zoe, Truth or Dare?

  "Truth."

  "Why do you like Luke?"

  "Um, well, this is kinda embarrassing. Before, I had a crush on Percy, but it was clear he was taken by Annabeth." Percy flinched and Nico scowled at the mention of Annabeth's name. "When I came here, I met Luke-who's pretty similar to Percy-and I fell in love." Zoe blushed.

  "WHY DOES EVERYBODY LIKE ME?!" Percy screamed. 

  "Oh boy," muttered Nico. "Here it comes."

  "EVERYBODY LIKES ME! Except for a certain Ghost King. WHY?! I'M NOT HIS TYPE?" Percy continued with his rant.

  "Aaaaaaaaand......" Nico counted on his fingers. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1..."

  "I'M EVERYBODY'S TYPE!!!" Percy screamed at the top of his lungs. Bianca, Silena, Beckendorf, Zoe, and Luke covered their ears. Silena pulled on some earmuffs, then took them back off when she realized she couldn't hear her phone ring without them.

  "Wow," Beckendorf commented. "Nico, I feel sorry for you having to deal with this every day."

  "Yes," Nico (who was apparently oblivious to the obvious hints that Percy liked him in his rant) replied.  "I feel sorry for myself too."

  Zoe spun the bottle and it landed on Percy.

  "Truth or Dare?"

  "Truth." Percy really didn't want to do dares. He knew that Zoe was very creative when it came to dares.

  "Why the heck did you try to run away from camp? It's a safe place!"

  Wrong question. Percy and Nico both flinched and clamped a hand over their mouths.

  "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was that bad, I'll ask another-"

  Too late. Percy's mouth opened and-

  "I ran away because somebody framed me for stuff I didn't do and everyone except Nico hates me and Annabeth cheated on me with Arthur and Zeus tried to kill me and- and..." Percy broke down and started to cry.

  "Oh." Silena and Beckendorf looked at him sympathetically. "I'm sorry, Percy, we didn't know. We just thought you ran away because the work load and stress or something like that."

  "It's...it's ok." Percy sniffed.

  "IF I EVER SEE THAT ANNABEEP AGAIN I'LL RIP HER TO PIECES!!!" Luke was getting his lucky chainsaw out when Zoe took it away before Luke could accidentally chop somebody's head off. But judging by the look on Zoe's face, if Luke did somehow meet Annabeth during a mission and try to kill her, Zoe wasn't going to stop him.

  "Nico, did they do that to you too?" Bianca asked her brother worriedly.

  Nico shook his head. "No." Bianca sighed in relief.

  "But they did treat him like dirt." Percy spoke up. Everyone looked at him, horrified. "They always thought that Nico was the creepy emo son of Hades. They didn't even give him a chance. They assumed that Nico was like his father and since they thought of Hades as a bad god who kidnapped Persephone for no reason, they treated Nico like they would treat Hades-they stayed away from him. Then people started thinking Nico was anti-social. The only reason Nico didn't talk with people much was because most of the camp weren't even willing to talk with him. I tried to do something about it. I talked Chiron into making summer reading lists and Harry Potter was part of it. Everyone was talking about how unfair it was to assume Sirius was like his family for a week, but they didn't realize how everyone was treating Sirius was exactly how they had been treating Nico. Either that, or they just didn't care. I tried again, with a more direct approach. I gathered the entire camp one day for a meeting. I started off by discussing the books on the summer reading list. Everyone was complaining about the 'dumb wizards with tiny brains and the IQ of a tube of lipstick' and I tried to explain that that was  how they had been treating Nico. The problem was that people thought that Nico was actually creepy like his father (Sorry Uncle Hades) and if he wanted people to start accepting him, he should stop being so creepy. They actually thought it was Nico's problem, not theirs. I'm sorry that I didn't do more, Nico." Percy hung his head.

  "OKAY THAT'S IT I WAS MAD BEFORE BUT NOW I'M GONNA EXPLODE!!!" Bianca looked ready to strangle somebody. Silena, who was sitting next to her, edged away from her. "NOBODY TREATS MY BABY BROTHER LIKE DIRT AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!!!"

  "Bianca, it's no big deal. It happens to all of us children of Hades." Nico muttered.

  "Oh yeah? How about Hazel?" Percy shot back. "No big deal?"

  "Um..." Zoe raised a hand. "It's pretty clear this truth or dare isn't going well, so...can we go now?"

  "Fine," Bianca waved a hand and the door slid open. Everyone ran out like someone was selling IPhones out there.
