Nicki walked into her cabin, and threw her bow and arrows onto her bed. Her training at Olympus was finished, and she had so looked forward to coming back to camp. Now she wanted nothing but to go back. She had waited for the day when she would see Aaron again, but they had hardly looked at each other in the infirmary. "'I'll be the first to see you return for your quest.'" She said, quoting Aaron. "Yeah right. I come back to find a short fight having taken place, and Aaron nowhere to be found. And then when I do see him, he doesn't even look my way." She sighed, and leaned out the window. "But I can hardly blame him. I didn't really look at him either. But we're so different. Aaron's got powers, a future completly different from mine. How could we ever make it work? And that voice I heard at the prom. What does it mean?" She sighed again. "How could we ever make it work? I love him...but maybe our lives are too different. And we don't seem to be getting off to a great start anyway."

Aaron leaned on the door frame, "You really think that lowly of me? Well I guess you've got good reason to, I guess." He gave a small sigh and said, "One will return, the other lost to the past, Chronos will strike in anger and one will return with a plead, but only one of you will be there to rescue, and one will be lost to Eos's power, only to be healed with her love's kiss. Thats what he said, wasn't it? Uranus told Cory the same thing. But you can obviously tell that it didn't come true. The voice means nothing. But I think, it may have a second meaning, and it might not be revolving around us, it could mean other demigods are involved." He crouched on the floor and said, "I'm sorry about not seeing you when you first arrived. I was still in Greece." He fiddled with the ring around his forefinger, and glanced around as if someone were going to attack him.

(I want to let you know what that prophecy means:
One will return, the other lost to the past, Chronos will strike in anger and one will return with a plea: in the first part, 'one' doesn't mean one person in this case, it means one quest (Nicki's) and the other lost is about Cory's "quest" his mission was fulfilled, but with a price to Chronos and a few other gods, and when Chronos strikes in anger, he will take Max away, and the plea is Cory is going to tell Aaron to go back to Camp Jupiter, and Aaron will)
(But only one will be there to rescuse: this says that only one demigod can save him.)
(And one will be lost to Eos's power: Star falls for Collin, on accident because Eos screwed up.)
(Only to be healed with her love's kiss: Cory heals Star before he kills her, but not with a kiss, a sword)

Nicki glanced up. "I don't think lowly of you Aaron. Am I a little mad at you? Yeah, but you have the right to be mad at me to. I didn't exactly speak to you either." She leaned against the bed post. "I thought about the voice. Worried me a little. Good to know it may have a second meaning. And forget it, about not being here. I was busy anyway. And its not your fault. I may have gotten back a little early."

Aaron smiled and walked over to her and put his arm around her and drew her close, "Well, its good to have you back." He kissed her head and looked up, as Cory stood in the door way.
Cory looked at Aaron, "We need to talk."

She smiled, put her arm around him. She glanced over as Cory walked in. "Well, I'll be in the arena." She said, grabbing her bow, and leaving to let them talk.

Aaron gave a small smile and then turned to Cory and said darkly, "Now what bussiness do you have inturupting my time with Nicki?"
Cory rolled his eyes, "Oh please, don't be so dramatic Aaron. I have a message, from Erebus. He says scram from camp, or give him back his ring. I'm not going to force you into this, but he said if I can get you to leave the camp, he'll give me my pills...for my transformation."
Aaron looked at Cory and then gave anangry sigh, "I understand what this means now. You...you are willing ot betray your friends for your own sorry butt!" Cory jumped back in surprise, but Aaron continued on, "You don't even bother to think what this will do to not only your life, but mine! Look, I'm sorry for the pain your in and all that shiz, but this isn't about just you! Don't you remember what Uranus told you when you repieced him?! The minor prophecy? I had to lie to Nicki about it being a big deal! I told her not to worry, when really, this could mean life and death for anyone of our friends! Just stop to think before you ask anything more of me, Cory Jason, because this God damn world doesn't revolve around your sorry butt!"
Cory looked in complete shock at Aaron, but when he finished speaking he stood up and said, "I see what you really want now Aaron. You don't want to leave Nicki. You want her to be yours, and only yours."
Aaron bit his lip and looked at Cory, "I don't know what-"
"Just shut up and listen! You are afraid that if you went back to Camp Jupiter, like you have planned for ages, that another guy will come and sweap her off her feet! Well news flash Aaron! She is nearly 3 years younger then you, and if you really do care about something, let it go, and if it is yours, it will come back to you. I know you love her, but if she really does love you, she won't fall for another guy." Cory turned away from Aaron, "Just start packing, you've been planning to leave for months now, its all you talked about in Greece, so do it, before you can't."
Aaron watched as Cory walked out, and he sat on the ground and stared out the window, He's right...as much as I hate that he is...he's right.

Nicki watched from the arena, seeing Cory walk out, and Aaron stare out the window. Something had happened, she could tell. And she had a feeling something else was going to happen. It was just a feeling, but it was a feeling she couldn't get rid of. Pulling an arrow out, she shot at one of the targets, hitting it dead-center. She was nervous, and the only way she could ignore it was to train. Doing archery always relaxed her.

Aaron stood after just sitting there for five minutes, realizing there were some Apollo kids comming inside and seeing him just sitting there. He stood awkwardly and walked to his cabin, getting ready to pack.

Nicki jogged after him, seeing him starting to pack. "Aaron? What's going on? Why are you packing?"

Aaron didn't look up, but it was obvious he hesitated, "I've been called back to Camp Jupiter...nothing serious but a call to duty, is just that, a call to duty. I'm leaving Camp Halfblood, for...a while."
Cory listened in shadow form from his bunk.

She stopped. "You're leaving? Oh." She was quiet for a moment, then walked over and kissed him on the cheek. "Well, I'll wait for you to return. You will be back, right?"

Aaron let out a huff of air, "I really hope so. Don't have to much fun while I'm gone." He glanced up at Cory's bunk and smiled, "See you later, Nicki." He turned and walked out. He managed to talk Argus into letting him borrow some money and he went down the other side of Halfblood hill.
Cory sighed and let himself be seen, and a small golden pill bottle appeared by Nicki, with Cory's name on it. His eyes widened and he jumped down from this top bunk and grabbed the pills from beside Nicki before she could read them.
(and move to hades cabin)
