Ch 15- S'mores and Snowballs- a Solangelo fanfic

Instructions

CH 15 Nico By the time Nico and Will got to the campfire, it was already filled with people. After a couple of “excuse me”s and more than one stepped on foot, they were able to find a place in the back where they could still see Kayla at the front, but weren’t being pressed into others. “Hello everyone, and welcome to the ______(insert whatever year you imagine the timeline as) Snowball Fight Official Winner Announcement! Technically, I’m pretty sure you all know who won, but it’s tradition,” Kayla said, her voice carrying, “The Winner of the _____ Camp Half Blood Snowball Fight is.. Percy and Annabeth! Again!” Everyone burst out into cheers and cries of good-natured protests against their continued winning streak. “Speech! Speech!” someone started chanting, and everyone joined in. Percy and Annabeth laughed as Austin, Rey, and other Apollo campers dragged them up to where Kayla was standing. “Well, Percy and Annabeth, what do you have to say to your loving fans?” asked Kayla loudly. Percy smiled, “Well, guys, it was fun beating you again, but we are going to New Rome next year, so good luck next year finding the new champion!” People clapped as they went back to their seats by the campfire, but there was the lingering feeling of those moments that you’ll never have again. Even Nico, who had never been to a snowball battle before this, could see how people were hesitant to think of the next year, when Percy and Annabeth were such a consistent fact, and the real competition had been who could survive the longest without being beaten by them for so long. Obviously sensing the mood change, Kayla quickly moved on. “Well, I’m at the ripe old age of 15 (WE DONT QUESTION MY TIME LINE IDK WHAT AGE SHE WOULD RLLY BE AND IDC TOT), so it's time for me to start teaching some kid how to organize a violent battle! Your future host will be… Rey!” Rey, with the rest of the Apollo cabin, was beaming. “They will start learning next year, and will help me out!” “Called it,” Will said, nudging Nico. Nico rolled his eyes and said nothing. “So,” said Kayla, “good job, no one died, and we hope you all will play again next year!” Kayla walked to the rest of her siblings, and the rest of the camp started talking. “I wonder who will win next year,” said Nico, “With Percy and Annabeth being gone and all.” “Who knows, maybe Luca will find a partner and become the new unbeatable champion,” said Will. Nico laughed, joking, “I am so teaming up with him next year.” Will gasped in mock distress, “Wow, you would abandon me like that? I’m wounded.” “He was unstoppable this year. Imagine how well we could do with some shadow cheating- I mean skills.” “My rules still apply, Ghost Boy, you can’t faint next year either.” “There go all my plans,” Nico said sarcastically. “By the way, I am forcibly recruiting you to help me in the infirmary tomorrow.” Nico shrugged, “It’ll be boring around the rest of camp without you anyway.” “Aww,” Will said, poking him, “You like me.” “Will, we are literally dating.” Will didn’t respond, instead filling the silence by bringing his lips to Nico’s, and Nico happily returned the kiss; they spent the rest of the evening into the night by the fire, talking and watching the fire die out as people slowly dispersed into their cabins. CH 15 again Luca “So, Luca,” began Pipes, “You decided to join the snowball fight?” “Sorry,” Luca said apologetically, thinking of her hurt leg. Almost everyone had begun to leave the big, fun campfire, and Pipes had taken him back when he started complaining about being tired. “I should have guessed that you had figured something out when you stopped fighting me about it,” she said, grinning. “Dang it, I’m trying to be mad at you, but it’s not working. Well, it’s like 10:30, and Will wants me to come to the infirmary tomorrow to check my leg, so I’m going to bed. You can draw or go to sleep or whatever.” Luca went to his bunk but couldn’t fall asleep. He heard when the rest of his siblings came in, and when Drew came in, he looked over at her. He still hadn’t been able to talk to her after the fight. He hoped she wouldn’t be mad at him. She helped him, and he didn’t win! But when she came over, she smiled and said, “Nice job, Luca. Making it into the snowball fight, outlasting some other teams, /and/ covering Clarisse’s face in snow? You did amazing.” Luca immediately cheered up, smiling at Drew. “Are you going to play again next year?” Drew asked Luca nodded enthusiastically, “Yeah! I have a bunch of cool ideas, plus maybe next year I can find someone else who will play with me!” Drew patted his head, standing up from where she had taken a seat on his bunk, “I’m sure whatever you do, you’ll do well. Good night, little brother.” Soon, silence settled over the cabin, and Luca drifted off to sleep. He couldn’t wait for next year.
