The day of Dookie's 30th anniversary.

She'd marked this day on her calendar, and had been looking forward to it for weeks. The Daughter of Zeus had convinced you and Nico to come along to some music store Percy had told her about in upstate Manhattan. The only reason you came along was because you hadn't seen her in ages, with her being busy with her duties as one of Artemis' hunters. And Nico... Nico wanted to go to the music store because he's emo Nico, okay? He needed some new CD's for his record player he kept back in camp. And who knows, you might grab something for yourself. "Call me when we're about to leave. I'll go look at some albums for myself." Nico muttered, turning the corner to go look at the music he liked.

"I bet he's going to come back with all sorts of shit." Thalia elbowed you as she whispered in your ear, prompting a very loud, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" from the Son of Hades.
