After about an hour more of kissing (time flies by when you force people to love you!), the two demigods broke apart, breathing heavily. Percy wore a goofy grin on his face, while Nico wore a smirk. "Now Percy, I want you to go find Annabeth and break up with her. Don't be super rude about it though, just break up with her. And if she comes storming down here, don't stop her," Nico instructed.

Percy nodded. "Anything for you, my love," Percy said.

He left the Hades cabin to go find Annabeth. She was exactly where Percy saw her last time, on the bed in her cabin. But she wasn't reading any more and she was glancing around nervously. When Percy stepped into the cabin, she let out a sigh of relief.

"There you are Percy," Annabeth said with a smile, "You were gone for such a long time! What in the world were you doing in there? And what the heck happened to your eyes?"

Percy just shrugged, which caused Annabeth to frown. But she continued nevertheless. "Okay, ready for our walk on the beach?" Annabeth said with a smile.

"About that," Percy said, "I'm actually breaking up with you. Don't feel bad though! I still love you, just in a sisterly way. Nico is the one I truly love."

A look of sadness crossed Annabeth's face, but one of anger quickly replaced it. She pushed Percy out of the way, then stormed down to the Hades cabin, kicking the door open. "Nico!" She screamed. Percy followed right after, a bit scared of the blonde.

"Yes, Annabeth?" Nico said.

"What did you do to him?" Annabeth demanded.

"What do you mean?" Nico said.

"Don't play dumb with me," Annabeth snapped at Nico, "He leaves me all happy and mushy and kissing me, disappears for more then an hour doing who knows what with you, then comes back with pink eyes, wanting to break up with me and saying he truly loves you? You obviously did something to him!"

Nico sighed. "You're right Annabeth. I did do something to Percy," The Italian admit. Annabeth was surprised at how easily the Ghost King had confessed. "Percy, lock the door and don't let Annabeth leave," Nico ordered.

"Yes, my love," Percy said. He moved over to he door swiftly, shutting it and locking it. Annabeth's eyes widened.

"Percy? Nico? What are you doing?" She asked in a low voice.

"Hold her back, Percy. Make sure she doesn't move," Nico said.

"Of course, my love," Percy said. He moved behind Annabeth, swiftly sliding his arms around her waist and holding her back roughly. But there was nothing romantic about it, just pure hatred.

"Percy!" Annabeth screamed in outrage, trying to pull away from he slightly taller demigod. "What the Hades are you doing?!"

"Exactly what my true love is telling me too," Percy said, roughly holding her back.

Nico smiled. "That's right, Percy. Annabeth is here to do nothing but throw a wrench in our relationship. We need to stop her," Nico said, smiling.

"How dare she," Percy growled, a scowl growing on his usually friendly face.

Nico picked Aphrodite's scarf back up, then walked over to Annabeth with a smirk on his thin lips. Annabeth gasped when she saw it, immediately recognizing it. "You used love magic on Percy! How did I not see this?" Annabeth said.

"Because you're an idiot daughter of Athena," Nico said smugly. Annabeth just glared at the son of Hades.

"So what?" Annabeth said, giving up on trying to pull away from Percy, as she knew it was no use. "You're going to make me fall in love with you?"

Nico furrowed his eyebrows, slowly wrapping the scarf around Annabeth's wrists. She struggled, but she couldn't pull away from either Percy or Nico and the magic of the scarf. And just like Percy, as soon as she laid eyes on Nico, she couldn't look away.

"Yes, but... no. You see, there's many different kinds of love. Affectionate love, enduring love, romantic love, playful love, mindless love, and family love. Affectionate love will make the person very affectionate with you. Enduring love is working together with your partner. Romantic love will make the person very loving towards you and be very romantic with you, a bit erotic.

"Playful love is keeping your romance exciting with humor and flirting. Mindless love will make your lover do whatever their partner says without question, just because they love them so much. And family love is loving someone just as a family brother," Nico explained slowly as Annabeth grew deeper and deeper into his trance. Nico grinned as he saw it working.

"I used a combination of affectionate love, romantic love, mindless love, and playful love on Percy.  The kind I'm using on you is family love! A bit of mindless love too. You love me Annabeth, but not in any romantic or sexual way. No, you love me as a brother. So much so that you don't care about your own happiness, just mine. So much so you'll do anything for me. You don't care that Percy broke up with you as long as I'm happy. Isn't that right, Annabeth?"

Annabeth nodded, a bit dazed, and her gray eyes turning to the same hot pink color as Percy's. "Yes, Nico. As long as you are happy, I don't care if I'm with Percy or not," Annabeth said with a dazed smile.

"Good. Now just keep staring at me. Me who you love very much as a brother," Nico said.

Annabeth nodded, continuing to stare at Nico, not even blinking. Nico just kept the scarf on her wrist and Percy continued to hold her back as he was instructed earlier.

After about ten more minutes, Nico said, "Now Annabeth, how do you feel about me dating Percy? And that he loves me much more then he will ever love you?"

"Oh, I don't care, Neeks. As long as you're happy, I am," Annabeth said, her eyes now completely hot pink and identical to Percy's.

"Great! Percy, you can let go of her," Nico said with a grin he wore much more often since just the past hour and a half.

Percy let go of her, and she stumbled forward a bit, but regained her balance. Nico took the scarf off her wrist, stuffing it into his pocket.

"Just one more way to test it out... Percy come over here and be very loving," Nico said. Percy did as he was told, a goofy smile crossing his face, and walked over to Nico.

He used one hand to pull Nico closer down by his waist, and the other he used to run his hand through Nico's velvety black hair. He then pulled Nico into a deep kiss, kissing aggressively and moaning slightly. "Aw, Perico," Annabeth said happily.

After a couple more minutes, Nico pulled apart from Percy who still wore that goofy grin, knowing that the scarf's effects were working and in effect on Annabeth right now.

Nico turned to Annabeth and Percy with a smile on his face. "Okay you two, let's go have some fun!"

Well then... hope you enjoyed the chapter... I guess
