Nico woke up with a contented face. For the first time ("in forever...") he'd been able to sleep without any serious nightmares.

After a moment of sleepy reverie he remembered today he and the gang were going ice skating!

Nico's smile became a full grin. You see, he was a magnificent ice skater. He and Bianca would sneak out of the lotus hotel to go to the nearby ice rink and spend full days gliding around and having fun...

Nico smiled fondly at the memories; thinking of Bianca was getting gradually less painful as time wore on.

Anyways Nico was terribly excited to go back on the ice despite it being frozen water and technically the territory of Poseidon, "Please don't drown me." he prayed mentally, as he recalled performing all the jumps, spins and turns that he spent many a day perfecting.

'I hope I'm still as good...' he thought.

Nico got out of bed and dressed in his usual black attire. However, today he felt a little different so he wore a black t-shirt, black jeans, black combat boots, a black jacket and a grey scarf with a red beanie. For once he felt like the day was going to be a good day.

With that final thought he headed out of cabin 13 and headed to Half Blood hill...
