A/N So... this idea popped into my head. I may or may not continue. I hope you enjoy this work.

Summery: While in the southwest looking for the third emperor and the Erythraean Sybil our trio come across a small little teashop. They quickly come to realize that the owners of this teashop are not all that normal, and must decide if these three owners are either friends or enemies.


Chapter 1: Meeting them.

The Greecian Teashop

"This looks like a nice place to rest" I said looking at the sign above. As I stood outside, a familiar looking girl, a tray held in her hands was staring at us through giant window her chocolate eyes showing an interest. Her face was olive toned and her brown curls was down in an elaborate ancient Grecian hairstyle.

A costumer snapped at her and she smiled and spoke to him, (most likely to apologize) before heading outside.

"Do you three, wish to come in?" She asked.

Grover, Meg and I turned to stare at each other.

"We, have more then just tea" She said kindly. "And teens are free from 4pm-7pm"

"That's kind of you" I said cautiously.

The woman shrugged. "We'd rather let kids have a place to hang out, then getting in trouble."

"You sell anything else?" Meg asked.

The woman nodded. "Cake too,"

Grover nodded. "Okay… do you also have coke cans, or enchalidas?"

The woman raised an eyebrow. "Yeah?" She shrugged. "You three coming in or not, the owner does not much care for those who loiter outside her tea-shop."

Grover, Meg and I shrugged and entered.

"Cassie!" A walked toward the group her eyes glaring holes at waitress.

Cassie smiled at the woman. Who appeared to be in her late fifties early sixties, her hair was a light blonde that seemed to blend in with grey streaks that were starting to appear. Her blue eyes seemed to blaze as she stared at the young waitress.

Grover stiffened and eyed Helen with interest.

"Miss Helen" Cassie said. "I know how much you hate teenagers loitering outside so I thought I would invite them in, neither of them look as though they've had something decent to eat in a while."

Helen turned her attention to us 'teenagers' and eyed us up and down.

"Hmm" Helen said. "You told them that teenagers are free from 4-7 I suppose?"

"Naturally, Miss Helen" Cassie said.

"Good" Helen said before turning her attention to us. "You three behave yourselves, and don't get it into your heads that my generosity means you can act however you want in my Tea-Shop, you act out, I may have to ask you to leave."

"Yes Miss Helen" Meg, grover and even I felt complied to utter.

"Good" Helen straightened. "Cassie show them to their seats."

"Yes Miss" Cassie said before ushering to them to a booth in the back far enough away from the other costumers, so we could talk privately.

I looked at her impressed. "How did you know?"

Cassie shrugged. "I can read people rather well" she said handing them a couple of menus. "I'll be back shortly" A bell sounded signalling the entrance of another costumer. Grover straightened as three new costumers entered.

"Hey, Jenny!" Cassie called as a group of kids entered. At the front was a girl with blonde hair a few shades darker then 'Miss Helens' entered the shop. The hair was pulled back in a long braid. She was wearing jeans and a loose blouse a pink light jacket was wrapped around her form.

Behind Jenny were another two people a girl with darkened skin, and ringlets covering her oval face and a boy with black hair cropped short and eyes as grey as Athena's. The Boy had an arm wrapped around Jenny's.

"Hey Mariah, Hey Jackson" Cassie said. "Glad you two could come in today, 3 of the waite staff called in sick."

"On a Monday" Jenny said a smile on her face.

"Hush, Jen-and I honestly need all the help I can get." Cassie said. "Rush is going to start in about five minutes."

"If you charged the teens, we wouldn't have this problem" Jackson said taking an apron. "It's not a wise business strategy."

"Most of the teens who don't pay tend to leave a very nice tip, so keep your dang mouth shut" Cassie whispered, though thanks to me still having a bit of my divine hearing I could still hear. "And you know you'll be keeping those."

Jackson grumbled. While Jenny and Mariah just pulled an apron from under the counter.

"I'll man the money" Jenny said going to stand behind the counter.

"Ah, ah" Cassie said. "Nice try, You're aunt Helen said that you were to specifically wait the costumers."

"That was one time"

"That one time was one time too many"

"I've learned and grown since then"

"In two weeks" Cassie laughed. "Uh-huh no, do as your aunt says, I'm manning cash"

Jenny groaned. "I hate you."

Cassie nodded as though she saw this coming. "Get in line sweetie"

Jenny looked remorseful at that. "I didn't-"

Cassie sighed. "I know, just... do as your told alright?"

Jenny bit her lip and nodded. Jackson wrapped an arm around Jenny. "Come on, these costumers won't serve themselves"


Take a guess who the three woman (Alright two woman one teenager) are. As always please leave a review.
