AN: I can't wat to see more of their relationship, I'm very fascinated with seeing Nico in family-centric situations. Thanks to those who pointed out the age mistake.

This something very pointless.

Word Count: 516

Also Alternatively Known as Zombies vs Unicorns in Zadi's Head

"Do you see any dead people yet?"

"No, but I see an annoying brother."

"Hazel, for Hades' sake, I'm trying to help you."

"You're going to help me by seeing the dead and undead?"

"Yes. Now look over there, do you see anything near that tombstone?"

"...No."

"You're a daughter of Pluto, so why is it so hard for you to use your powers like I do?"

"Because you're a son of Hades. Hades is more of a doom-y sort. Pluto's more about the riches in the earth. I asked your friend Annabeth about it, and she started to go on about Greek vs Roman aspects in demigods."

"I'm sorry that you had to go through that."

"Don't worry, I caught up on my sleep."

"That's good to hear, so let's try again."

"Why can't I teach you what my powers can do?"

"Because technically, Lotus Casino or not, I'm still your older brother. "

"No, I'm older, and that isn't fair, Nico."

"Too bad, now focus over there and tell me what you see."

"I see..."

'Come on, you can do it."

"I see...A unicorn."

"...Oh, ha, ha, Hazel. Very-Gods, that's a unicorn!"

"Told you so."

"Why is there a unicorn at a graveyard?"

"Maybe it got lost? We are near Camp Jupiter, and it wouldn't be the first time that one wandered off."

'What do we do now?"

"We bring it back to camp."

"We?"

"Yes, Nico. We."

"But I don't like unicorns."

"Why so? What did a harmless unicorn ever do to you?'

"Animals don't like me, and I don't like them. And unicorns are just annoying. They're so girly and glittery."

"Unicorns don't glitter. Their coats have a faint glimmer in the sunlight."

"Glimmer, glitter, whatever. It's looking at me funny, anyway."

"You did insult it. I wouldn't be looking at you nicely if you insulted me."

"Why aren't you a daughter of Poseidon?"

"..."

"You know what? How about you go bring Princess Glimmer Glitter back to magic-sparkle land, and I'll wait here for you to come back to train."

"I have a better idea, you can bring Princess Glimmer Glitter back, learn a valuable life lesson, and we can go get a pastry at the café in Camp Jupiter."

"What would this life lesson be?"

"Treat a unicorn nicely, and you will get a pastry. That's the lesson. Now get going, Nico. Princess Glimmer Glitter and you will have to start becoming the best of friends."
