Nico's Point of View
I noticed Aaron was starting to fall asleep.
"Pull over, idiot." I said, making sure not to wake Maggie.
"Okay." He pulled over. "Why did you make me pull over?"
   "You were falling asleep, idiot." I almost yelled at him until I remembered Maggie was asleep.
   "Oh. Okay. So what are we supposed to do?" Aaron asked. I really hated what I was about to say.
   "Switch me seats." I said. I wasn't technically old enough to drive but Camp Half-Blood can do anything, including getting me a driver's license since I'm only fifteen.
    I gently laid Maggie's head down on the seat. When we got out and we're about to switch, I stopped Aaron.
   "If you wake that angel up, you will be very sorry." I threatened him.
    I watched as he got in the back seat and gently lifted Maggie's head on his lap. She didn't wake up so he put his seat down a little so he could sleep. I got in the driver's seat and started to drive again. Only two hours until we get back to Maggie's hometown. The good news is Maggie will get to see her family and I'll officially meet her family.

          Aaron's Point of View
   Once Nico started driving and wasn't giving me the death glare, I looked at Maggie. She is so beautiful. I just like her so much. And the only reason we can't be together is because of Nico. I just was waiting to see if I would actually fall asleep. After about twenty minutes I did.

Maggie's Point Of View
   When I woke up, I was still laying in someone's lap. It wasn't Nico because this person had jeans on. I looked up to see Aaron asleep. Why was I on his lap and not Nico's? And where's Nico? Then I started to freak out. I sat up quickly but carefully, not to wake Aaron. I looked at the driver's seat and saw Nico. I saw a Sheetz.
    "Can we make a stop please?" I asked in a groggy voice.
    "You're awake. Sure. Not a problem Sunshine." He said. He turned into the parking lot.
    "Thanks babe." I got out of the car.
    Nico followed me. I went to the bathroom while Nico did too. Then we met up outside the bathrooms to get stuff. We were waking down the ice cream aisle when we stopped to look at the flavors. I turned to Nico.
    "Would you like to explain to me why I woke up in Aaron's lap?" I asked. He turned towards me.
    "He was falling asleep. While driving. I had to." Nico said.
    "Fine. But next time, why not just put him in the passengers seat?" I said. Nico looked shocked.
    "Ummm...I'm going to be honest. I did not think of that." Nico said. His cheeks were getting red.
    "I thought you were smarter than that!" I said. I grabbed a pint of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream.
    "I am! If anything you are the one who isn't smart." Nico said. I turned to him. He looked full of regret.
    "What did you just say to me?" I paid for the ice cream then we went back outside.
    "Well obviously you are oblivious to the fact that Aaron likes you." Nico said.
    "He does not like me, Nico! You're just being jealous. He is a nice person. Probably just wants to fit in somewhere." I said.
   "No, he likes you Maggie!" Nico said.
   "Get in the car before I hurt you!" I said to Nico.
    We got in the car. I put my seatbelt on. I opened the ice cream and started eating it. Good thing the cashier gave me a spoon. Nico started driving.
   "Thanks for leaving me in the car!" Aaron said from the backseat. I turned around.
   "Sorry. You were asleep. We didn't want to wake you." I said.
   "It's fine." Aaron said. I turned back around and continued eating my ice cream.
   "Can I have some?" Nico asked.
   "I don't know. Will you get jealous if I don't let you have some?" I asked sarcastically.
   "I'm not jealous." Nico said. I gave him a scoop of my ice cream.
   "Here you go!" I said as he took the scoop.
   "Thanks babe!" Nico said.
   "You're welcome!" I said.
    We got into my home town around noon. We drove to my house. My family wasn't home. So we went to the playground to hang out. After about a half hour, a familiar face came around. It was Chris.
"Hey Maggie!" He said.
"Hey Chris!" I said.
"How have you been? I haven't seen you at all." He said.
"I'm good. I was just at camp." I said. Hoping he wouldn't ask what camp. "I'm just coming back to visit my family for a little. Then back to camp until, I think, the week before school starts."
"Cool. Nico, is it?" He said, pointing to Nico.
"Yep." Nico said.
   "And who's this?" Chris asked pointing to to Aaron.
   "Ohh. This is Aaron, a friend from camp." I explained.
   "Hi. I'm Chris. Nice to meet you." Chris held out his hand. Aaron shook Chris's hand.
   "Nice to meet you too." We sat down and talked for a little.
   "So how has your summer been so far?" Chris asked me.
   "Ummm. Fine. I guess." I said.
   "Why only fine?" Chris asked.
   "Well. I almost died." I said.
   "What? How?" Chris said.
   "Oh. Ummm. Capture the flag. One of the cabins are very competitive." I said. I forgot he doesn't know about demigods.
   "Cool. Anything interesting happen over the summer?" Chris asked.
   "Actually, Nico and I started dating."
   "Ohh. See, I always thought you and Jax would have ended up together." Chris said. That hit a sore spot.
   "Jax and I are not talking anymore. He stabbed me in the back." I explained.
   Everyone was kind of silent from then on. We sat in silence for a little bit. Then someone said my name.
   "Hey Maggie! It's good to see you again!" I turned around.
