Chapter Three: Friends
Nico opened the door, looking at the Hispanic boy that stood before him.
"Hey Leo," he greeted. "Anything I can do for you?"
"Actually, it's more what I can do for you!" Leo grinned. He took Nico's hand, pulling him out of the cabin.
Nico gave Leo a perplexed look, but Leo just continued to pull him off.

Leo dragged Nico to a nice clearing in the forest. He let go of the Italian's arm so he could spread the blanket he brought for them to sit on. He made the son of Hades sit down. Taking the seat from across him, he grinned at Nico, whom only stared at Leo, still wondering what the heck was going on.
"I wanted to take you out on a picnic!" Leo chirped with a grin. "It's my way of trying to cheer you up... Again."
Nico gave a small nod and a quiet sigh. He knew that this wouldn't cheer him up, same as the rest of Leo's attempts.
Leo removed one of the PB&J sandwiches from its plastic baggy. Being the dork he is, he tried to feed it to Nico. Nico chuckled and took the sandwich from him, taking a bite.
Leo played victory music in his brain. He hadn't gotten Nico to chuckle in the longest time! This was a huge accomplishment for him!

As Leo repackaged the leftovers so he and Nico could head back to camp, Nico looked at the 'Bad Boy Supreme'.
"Hey Leo? Thanks. That actually cheered me up a little..."
Leo grinned in victory. "Your welcome Nico! That's what friends do, cheer each other up!"
