I walked over to the Hades cabin to deliver a bunch of papers and documents to Nico. To be honest it had been a while since I've seen him. I feel like our relationship is: 'hi, tell me your secrets' then 'I'm gonna ignore you now even though I respect you'. It's almost as confusing as my family history.

     I knocked on the door and there was no answer. I knocked again, and I caught a glimpse of a doorbell. I smiled to myself and did what everyone does-even if they won't admit it. Ring the door bell non-stop until the person answers.

      A groan came from inside and Nico yelled"PERCY JACKSON!GET AWAY FROM THE BUTTON!"

      "Did you just call me a simpleton who somehow became praetor?!" I asked.

      "Annabeth? No, uh- I guess I'll open the door once I save."Nico replied.

       I sighed, about to play the 'I'm the Praetor' card when the door swung open. Nico gasped and-I'm not sure what happened. It was like all the blood drained out of his body(something I've seen too many times) and some went to his cheeks but it was barely noticeable."Reyna? I thought you were at Camp Jupiter- what are you doing here?"

     "I have that exact question. I came here for a day of relaxation and stuff but I keep getting reports from people and paperwork."I admitted.

      Nico snorted"How's the day of relaxation working for you?"

     I shook head "No muy bueno." Then I realized I had slipped into Spanish."Sorry I didn't-"

      Nico put up is hand"It's okay. I've done it before."

     "What were you talking about earlier-saving?"

      "Yeah, don't tell Chiron but I decided to take advantage of the fact that my cabin is so dark so installed some video games."

       "I've never played video games." I stated completely forgetting about the papers.

        "Well then it looks like you'll play today. Weren't you supposed to be relaxing anyways?"

     I shrugged and entered the dark cabin. When I saw the decorations I laughed.

       "Who decided to go for the quarantined vampire theme?" I wondered taking a look around.

     "Hazel did the sheet so she'd have privacy while she was here .whoever decided the vampire treatment will have a meeting with my army."

     "My army could whip yours' butt."

      "I could summon dead legionnaires." He pointed out, then realized he might have gone a bit far with the ghosts things."Sorry. CoD?"

     "No clue what CoD means but whatever." I agreed and sat In front of a big t.v in his cabin.

    ----time skip----

Once I got the hang of the controls we started doing co-op. I have to admit that video games were fun. You could fight without worrying about dying. Too bad it wasn't with swords though. I couldn't help but think that Frank would rock at this game.

      "Nico, run into there and try and get them into a tight group." I commanded.

     "But it doesn't-"

     "Who's Praetor?"

      "Who's survived more wars?"

       "I've survived two- what about you."

       "I was alive during World War II, and fought in all the recent wars."

        "That doesn't even count! Just do what I told you."Nico's character did as told. I threw a grenade finishing the mission.

      "Reyna, that's a cheap move."Nico complained.

      "You're just mad you didn't think of it first."

       "Free-for-all to settle the argument?" He suggested.

        "I think you mean agro-ment, also, yes."

   ----time skip----

       "Ha! I- aww.. I almost got you." Nico complained." What no! You're holding a computer!" Nico protested and had his guy run for cover.

       I snickered"Got you!" And Nico paused the game and looked at me confused."I'm not gonna use it yet." I explained and Nico glared at me.

"Really Reyna?! That's so cheap!" Nico complained.

"Once again, you're just mad you didn't think of it before me."


Suddenly the door opened"Nico! Give Percy his pants back! You know-Oh my gods, Reyna, what are you doing here?!" Annabeth exclaimed and hugged me.

"Nice to see you too, but what about Percy's pants?!" I demanded.

"A bunch of skeletons appeared out of the ground and took his pants." Annabeth explained.

"I didn't take them!" Nico defended.

"Who else can control skeletons?"Annabeth demanded.

"If the skeletons are made of metal then Hazel can control them. But technically skeletons took his pants. I don't even want to touch them." Nico observed and clapped his hands. A couple of skeletons appeared from the ground holding a men's pair of jeans.

Annabeth grabbed the jeans and balled them up and then looked back at me."What are you doing in Hades cabin?"

"I was going to give Nico some papers- wait..... Where are the papers?!" I ran around the cabin looking for the papers.

      Annabeth held them up"Looking for this?"

      I looked at Annabeth thankfully and took the papers. I walked over to Nico and held out the forms."Quest confirmation to make sure they used the mist. You know, that they covered up all of the law-breaking things we did."

     "Well, when you put it like that people expect me to be wearing those red neck shirts." Nico admitted.

     Annabeth looked between us two and winked at Nico"I approve." And then she went out the door leaving us both confused.
