Nico's Point Of View
I watched Maggie fall asleep. I was here if she needed someone to calm her down, if she had nightmares. I played with her hair. When she gets up I should see if she will let me braid her hair.
She looks so peaceful when she is asleep. She doesn't look worried. I remember to bring her stuffed dog. Maggie looked so cute and adorable, like a little kid. I got my phone and took a picture of her. Not to be creepy. I put it as my home screen. She would see it eventually, we have are thumbprints in each other's phones. She started to wake up. She looked at me and stretched. I smiled at her.
"Hey babe!" I said to her. She smiled and cuddled closer to my chest.
"Hey Neeks!" She laughed. She knows only she can call me that.
"Only you Maggie. Only you." I said.

Maggie's Point Of View
    I woke up to see I was still in Nico's arms. I didn't have any nightmares. I looked up at him. He was smiling at me. I stretched.
    "Hey babe!" He said. I smiled and moved closer to him. I just wanted to stay here forever. That's how I feel all the time with Nico.
    "Hey Neeks!" I laughed. I'm the only one who can call him that nickname.
    "Only you Maggie. Only you." He said, laughing.
    "Only you too! You are the only one who is allowed to call me "babe". The ONLY ONE!" I said. I buried myself even farther into his chest.
    "Oh." Nico groaned. I left my head so my face was right in front of his. Nose to nose.
    "What?" I asked.
    "We have to go somewhere." He responded.
     I could feel his breath on my lips. I leaned up and gave him a quick kiss then rolled over and accidentally fell off the bed.
    "Ouch! Okay. That was a stupid idea on my part. I thought I had room." I was lying on the ground. Nico came around the bed and stuck his hands out in front of him. I gladly excepted.
    "Here we go! 1. 2. 3." He pulled me up.
    I went to turn around but he put his arms around my waist. He leaned down and gave me a real kiss. It was gentle and passionate. He picked me up and I put my legs around his waist. After a little while we pulled away for air. And by pulled away I mean we were still forehead to forehead.
     "We have to go or we will be late. And Percy will go crazy and come after us." He said. He still didn't move away from me or make an attempt to set me down.
    "Will you give me a piggy back ride?" I asked.
    "Sure. Stand on the bed." I hopped on the bed. "Now put your arms around my neck." I did as he said.
    He grabbed both our phones and we were off. We were walking towards the lake. Once we got to the sand I saw Percy, Piper, Jason, Hazel, Frank, Annabeth, Rhaeghan, Leo, Angel, and Andrew. We got up to them and Nico set me down.
    "What's going on?" I asked everyone.
    "Well since all of us almost died *coughs* mostly you and Nico *coughs*. Sorry terrible cough. Anyways we are having a fun time at the beach like normal people." Percy explained. He walked over to me and hugged me. "Plus, you deserve it sis."
    "Thank you so much!" I stopped hugging him and looked around. "But I don't have a bathing suit."
    "Don't worry. We got you covered." Annabeth said.
    Her and Piper started pulling me towards the Poseidon cabin. When we got there, Piper ran over to Percy's bed. There was a bag. She grabbed it and came back over to Annabeth and me. She handed it to me. I opened it. It was a blue, black, and grey bikini with a white tank top and jean shorts for over it.

   "Oh my gosh! Thank you! But you didn't have to

   "Oh my gosh! Thank you! But you didn't have to." I said, hugging both of them.
   "Yes we did! Now go try it on!" Piper pushed me towards the bathroom.  
   "What if I don't look good in it?" I asked.
   "Believe me, you will. Now go!" Annabeth said.
    I went in and changed. I came back out to show them. They nodded and Piper squealed. I put on the tank top and shorts. I grabbed one of Percy's towels and we headed back to the beach.
     "Wait until Nico sees you." Piper said. Annabeth laughed.
     When we got to the beach, the boys were in their swim shorts. They still had their shirts on and someone got a speaker while we were gone.
     "Hey Maggie! Do you have— Is that my towel?" Percy asked.
     "Yep." I said.
     "You didn't ask." He put his hands on his hips.
     "You're my brother. I don't have to." I put my hands on my hips, mimicking him.
     "You're going to pay for that." He said.
      He started running after me. I dropped the towel and ran. He chased after me. I had to go twice as fast because his stride was twice as big as mine. I ran into the water. He followed. I created a water tornado to trap him. He got out easily. I moved the light to reflect off the water and into his eyes, momentarily blinding him. I dove under the water and went about twelve feet down. I turned around and he was right there.
      "Got you!" He wrapped his arms around my waist and swam to the surface.
      He sat me down on top of the water. All of the sudden, I was on top of a column of water. I looked to shore were everybody was laughing. Even Nico. I'm going to get him back for that. I looked down. I was about ten feet up. I was going to have to jump off. I stood up and jumped off. I swam back to shore. When I got out I was completely dry. Thank you, Poseidon.
    "So anyways, you baby child, what were you going to ask me?" I asked Percy.
     "Ohh. You have a Pandora account, right?" He asked.
     "Yeah. Why?"
     "Well Leo made a monster-proof laptop and we have a speaker and we want to listen to music." Percy explained.
     "Okay. Let me put it in." I walked over and put in my information.
