Chapter 1: Laughing out loud

Please enjoy reading!

This is my first Percy Jackson fanfic. Sorry if it's short.

Don't forget to review! ;)

Nico's POV

As I was scanning through the crowd, I can see demigods and satyrs congratulating each other for a job well done. Dryads, nymphs, and cyclops are all cheering. My cousin, Percy Jackson was hugging his girlfriend Annabeth. The gods congratulated their children individually. Others were mending the injured ones.

As I continue to look at them, I suddenly saw Thalia, my cousin, standing right next to me. I stared at her for a while and thought that she looked cute at her clothes she was wearing. She wore completely black which is our favorite color. She is wearing a black shirt and black skinny jeans that matched her black converse shoes. Her hair was blue-black and sleek. Her electric-blue eyes sparkle when the sun ray's meet her eyes. I can feel my heart melt whenever she smiles.

Then, I realized that she caught me staring at her. Our eyes met each other. She smiled and I instantly blushed. Whoa, why am I blushing? I usually don't blush when Thalia is around. But this moment felt different. I feel all tingly inside. Wait. She's just my cousin. I can't possibly fall in love with her. Hey! Did I just mention LOVE?! This can't be happening. I would never fall for a daughter of Zeus because I'm Hades's son.

Nico lost his thoughts when he realized Thalia walking towards him.

"Hey, Dead Boy," Thalia greeted.

"Hey, Pinecone Face," Nico replied.

"You've done a nice job, Nico di Angelo." Nico flinched when Thalia mentioned his full name.

"What's with the full name, Thalia Grace?" Nico asked.

They both laughed so hard that Thalia almost shed a tear. They didn't realized that Percy and Annabeth were staring at them with their mouths hanging wide open.

"What is the laughing all about?" Percy asked sternly.

"Nothing," they both replied at the same time which made them look at one another that caused them to blush and laugh so hard.

"I think it's fun so let's join them," Annabeth offered. They laughed so hard and they all end up crying in laughter.

As they stopped laughing so hard, they noticed that they were the only ones left except the gods and goddesses. They were all gazing at them.

"Why are you all laughing?" Lord Zeus asked. All the gods and goddesses raised their eyebrows accordingly at the demigods.

"Nothing," they said in unison, and again they all laughed.

The gods and goddesses looked at each other seriously and tried to blend in with them.

The demigods are the ones who finished laughing first because they've been laughing for ages. Then, deafening silence filled the whole vicinity. Lord Zeus broke the silence by saying, "You, young heroes,should be on your way home now."

All of a sudden, their respective parents asked their child to have a word with them.

"Percy, can I talk to you for a while?" Poseidon asked.

"Yeah! Sure, Dad. " Percy answered and they walked away to talk privately.

The other gods and goddesses left except for Lady Athena, Lord Zeus, and Lord Hades. They all talked privately.

"Dad, can I stay with you in the Underworld after every summer?" Nico asked.

"Of course, you can. If that is what you want, son, you can stay there." Hades replied.

"Thanks, Dad!" Nico said and managed a smile.

"I'm so proud of you son," Hades said. "You've handle the skeletons well! A job well done!"

"Thanks Dad!" he replied.

Thalia's POV

My dad led me to his throne for us to talk.

"I am so proud of you Thalia!" My dad said with a smile.

"Thanks Dad." I replied, smiling. "I couldn't have done it without you." He, too, smiled.

"Dad, can I ask you something?" I asked.

"Of course, you can!" My dad replied.

"Can I hang out with Percy, Nico, and Annabeth?" I pleaded.

"Of course, you may! They are your cousins and a friend? I approve with your friendship with them. Don't worry." My father said reassuringly.

"You're not mad then that I am hanging out with boys?" I asked.

"I'm not mad. Let's just wait for what Artemis will say." My dad said with a worried look drew on his face.

"Thanks Dad!" I said.

"I think you should go now. It is getting late and I am allowing you to stay for the night at Percy's apartment." My dad said while smiling.

"Thank you so much, Dad!" and I hugged my Dad.

After we broke apart my dad bid farewell and disappeared with a poof.

As I glanced around, My Dad, Lord Poseidon, Lord Hades, and Lady Athena are gone which left us standing there.

Percy broke the silence that filled the throne room.

What do you think? Any suggestions?

Then REVIEW! :)
