~So...

I'm back...With a sequel! I'd recommend you read the first one before starting this one.

Well, I hope my writing improves as well. So expect a better story!

Thanks for all the support everyone!

Disclaimer: I don't own Class Of The Titans, or The Little Mermaid. (Just wait and see!)

Archie's POV

"Come on, Archie! You have to get out of bed sometime!" a familiar (and surprising sweet and velvety smooth, for someone yelling at you) voice distinctly said, coming from outside my room. Athena finally got me new drapes, so the stupid sun (sorry, Apollo) doesn't bother me when I get up. Without the sun getting in my face, I've actually been late a few times for school. Good thing Hermes has his teleporter! (Don't tell Chiron or Hera! I'd be dead!) We recently got released, (and by recently, I mean yesterday), for the summer holidays. Anyways, back to the velvety smooth voice, she was still yelling at me. "You don't want to spend all of summer in bed, do ya?" Geez, Atlanta! I rolled over to check the time. Your serious! It's not even nine! Dammit! (De ja vu?, huh?)

"I'm coming, I'm coming." This girl is amazing, but if she doesn't get her way, you might as well put a coin in your mouth and hope Charon isn't in a crappy mood, 'cause boy, she gets mad. "Can I at least get dressed first?" I asked playfully.

"Of course. Oh! It's really sunny—dress lightly! And remember—you have to pack!" Crap. I forgot to tell you...Atlanta recently, (and again, I mean yesterday), watched Walt Disney's The Little Mermaid and has been obsessed with it. How can someone can love a movie that fast is beyond me. I swear, now she wants to be a mermaid! Anywho, she wants to go on a cruise, (against my will) for a week or so. And, to top it all off, Hera and Chiron loved the idea and lent us a boat. So, now all seven of us are going on an 'All Expenses Paid' cruise.

"Yeah, yeah, I hear you." I opened the curtains, and sure enough, the sunny weather was out there. I fished through the closet and found a suitcase. I could probably pack and get dressed at the same time. I figured the plain white shirt I was wearing was good enough to wear. I'm changing the sweat pants I'm wearing though. I opened a drawer from the overly crowded dresser; and when I mean crowded I mean I have tons of clothes and books and my whip and other stuff like that—but back to my drawer, I got plenty of socks and a few pairs of boxers, plus a few more shirts and tons of shorts. I stared at the swimming trunks that remain in the drawer. I uneasily picked them up, but I figured Atlanta would make me come swimming with her. Who knows what will happen. I threw in my signature light blue hoodie, in case it got cool, and searched the top of the unorganized dresser for a little bag. After successfully finding it, I unzipped the bag and made sure everything in it was accounted for: a tooth brush, tooth paste, sun screen, etc., and if you haven't already guessed, it's like my travelling bag, for my personal toiletries. I looked to make sure the little ribbon-wound note-book was still in there. Yup. Some cursive writing was still on the cover, (barely), it read, 'Those Who Decide To Read, Are Choosing to...DIE!'. I chuckled. I'd have to read it sometime. I put it back in the bag and threw the bag in the fairly full suitcase. Now all I have left to do is close the suitcase...

I closed the lid, and attempting to latch it. After a minute trying to close it, Atlanta came to my rescue. "Do you need any help?"

"That would be nice." I sat on it and she latched it up. "Thanks."

"Not a problem. Um, Archie?" She had a weird look on her face.

"Hmm?" I don't see what was wrong. I jumped off my luggage and almost fell on my face.

"It's like, almost forty degrees Celsius, and you're planning to go out in that heat in those?"

I looked down. Shit. I'm still wearing my sweat pants. I guess was too busy getting my things together. "You mind?" I said extending my arm with my clothing.

She took my things, and gave me a playful glare. "You're very lucky I like you a lot, mister. Very lucky." She smiled, and gave me a peck on the cheek. Ah...Her lips are so warm. Or maybe my cheek is cold? Oh well. "I'll see you up there?"

I nodded, and she left me to finish getting dressed. I found a cleanish pair of shorts, (I only wore it once or twice, I swear!) and pulled them up halfway. I stared a thin mark of red that started at one side of my thigh to the other. My scar. From the last time we faced Cronus. Wow, we haven't seen him in forever! A couple months ago? Oh, well. My wound has healed fairly well, although occasionally it stings. I finished pulling them up, and ran up stairs, making sure I grabbed my sunglasses on the kitchen counter, putting them on.

"Is everyone all here and accounted for?" I heard Jay say as I ran outside.

"Now we are," Odie told our worry-wort of a leader.

"Sorry guys, I just..."

"It's all right. We loaded all our stuff in already, so now, we just have to load ourselves!" Jay laughed at himself. Sometimes, I wonder where he gets his sense of humour. Everyone laughed anyway.

We started piling in to Herry's truck. "Hey, Arch!" Atlanta said, patting on the seat beside hers. I did as she said and sat beside her. She had a bag; opened it, and she grinned. A portable DVD player. Just great. In another pouch of it, she took out the dreaded DVD—The Little Mermaid. I mean, sure, it's a good movie, but...she's fifteen for crying' out loud! "Wanna watch with me?"

I looked to my right. Great. Pretty-boy-who-is-scared-of-spiders is sitting beside me as well. I think I'll watch a bit of the Disney Renaissance, it'll be better than watching Neil smile at himself in the mirror.

"Sure."

The drive took forever till Herry found the turn-off for the directions Hera gave us so we could be set up with one of the boats. I don't know how many times I'd seen the movie in that one car ride.

"Well, this is the place." Herry said as we saw the biggest cruise ship in the history of cruise ships.

And it was just for us.
