(CJS POV)
He's back. Thank Gods he's back. It was only part of that day that Nico  was  gone but it felt like forever. I'm not usually  a person  who  likes being alone. Lucky I had Amber there to talk to, although she mostly gossiped with the river nymphs. Anyway, once Nico materialized from the shadow of a tree, I ran up to him and hugged him. He smiled and hugged me back and an 'awww' could be heard from Amber who was behind us. Nico let go and pulled back. "Oh. I have a surprise  for you." He said with a wide grin. He pulled something out of his pants pocket, a bobby pin. "Bobby pin?" I questioned  him. "Nope." He bent it into a straight piece of metal, it then grew into a large bronze colored sword. Nico handed me the sword and I stared at it in amusement. "Thought you'd like it." Nico said with a smirk. "I-it's beautiful Nico. Where'd  you get it?" I asked. "Had a friend make it." He replied. "How about we  go to  the arena so we can get you trained a bit more." Amber put in. "Good idea Amber." Nico  said, then he leaned over and whispered to her (only loud enoughfor me to hear, no big deal) "I know you only like going to the arena to see Max." He chuckled and walked over to my side showing me how to make the sword  a bobby pin  again as we head for the fighting  arena.
