Perseus exhaled dramatically, a little too tired after their hide and seek game with Cerberus.

"Perce, Do you think Alecto will be mad if we included her?" The onyx eyed demigod said, while looking at the horizons of underworld, appreciating the domain he can control easily.

Percy contemplate a little before answering, "It would be best if we excluded her, and her ugly sisters, they almost took out my eye when I accidentally relieved the boulder guy from that huge rolling stone" He said before munching a pomegranate.

"It's his punishment, Of course Alecto will claw your eyes out." Nico said through his snickering, before joining Percy from eating.

"Are you not interested?" Percy asks tentatively, casually picking up a precious stone and throwing it as far as he can.

"In what?" Nico replied, a little nervous about what might Percy said. Since the Poseidon spawn has a dangerous tendencies.

"Mom- Lady Styx, is telling me stories about the mortal world.... And I kind of wanted to see it for myself" Percy said nervously, "I mean don't you want to see other people, or ferries wheel, or cars.. Some ghost tell me they can get so fast, like really really fast"

"Eh, they're not really that great. Here is better, here everyone loves us so much. Persephone is kinda mean to me though" Nico said before laying his head on Percy's lap, and stare at the heavily frustrated green eyed boy.

"Nico cm'on! I think it would be a great adventure if we sneak out of here and go to mortal world!" Percy whined quite loudly, startling some servant ghosts.

"We should tell Papa and your mom-" Nico reasoned nervously, but Percy has already had things in his mind.

"It wouldn't be sneaking if they already know" Percy replied, his face forming a wicked grin that promises trouble and danger.

Nico bites his lips, "But it's dangerous! Papa said we cannot be seen by anyone!"

"He will never knew I'm sure, besides Charon can be bribe easily" The green eyed said, before pinching Nico's cheek, which redden due to Percy's cooing.

"Still no, Perce" Nico said bravely, ignoring the whines and curses thrown at him.

"Woah, that was fast!" Percy exclaimed happily, after almost getting hit by a sport's car.

"Are you mad? You're not supposed to do that! Car's wasn't supposed to be admired so close, especially if it's driving on the highway!" Nico cried angrily, after shadow traveling to Percy, in order to save the naive green eyed from a painful experience.

"Calm down, Nico! It's not like something will happened to me. You always have my back" Percy said before grinning mischievously, and yanking Nico towards a mall.

Entering the mall, they earn confused and interested looks from civilians. Not everyday you can see two odd looking children. They both shine like a beacon, with their white chiton's and a circlet for Nico.

Nico's hand is itching to grab some modern clothes, but with Percy's over enthusiasm he have no time to change clothes. "Nico look at that!" The green eyed squealed enthusiastically.

Nico followed his eyes, and what he have seen is a huge pillow pet, even taller than them both. "Perce, just no" The son of Hades said with tone if finality, earning a groan from his fellow.

"Cm'on Nico! Imagine if your father made it move, it would be fun!" Nico looks dumb founded by Percy, Did he really plans to make a living pillow pet? He thought, too confuse and overwhelm to answer Percy.

"You said you wanted to try cotton candy right?" Nico said excitedly, trying best to change the subject.

"I see what you did there Nico, but I must say the cotton candy calls for me louder" Percy said a little smug.

Nico sighed on relief, a little happy knowing that they will smuggled back to the underworld without the six footer pillow pet.

Percy cherished every bit of the blue cotton candy, loving the melting sweetness that flooded his senses. "Why can't we live here? I mean your father's palace was great and all, but the sun was just so bright"

Nico choked in his ice cream, "Papa said we're both in danger in land, so forget about living here above" He said calmly, though it fails to placate Percy.

"What?! But-"

"We can sneak out once or twice a month Percy, if that's okay with you?" Nico said, earning a blinding smile from Percy.

"Yeah that will do, but next time I want that one" Percy said pointing at the huge pillow pet.

"Yeah" Nico replied, a little taken aback by Percy's enthusiasm about the Pillow pet.
