Okay first FanFic ever, at least only ever published, so, well, you don't have to be cind but read and review and what ever enjoy!
It had been a quite couple of weeks at Olympia High. Cronos had been keeping a low profile and hadn't tried anything. The heroes were slowly falling into the monotony of high school life, school, training, homework, sleep, school, training, homework, sleep. Jay and the others had just gotten home from school when they met Athena in the doorway. She had exchanged her usual black knee length toga for a long gray one. She was also wearing a hoplites helmet, breast plat and carrying a Sarissa in her right hand, and the Aegis in her left. On her shoulder perched a very stern looking barn owl.
"Whoa what's with the Warrior Goddess look?" Neil asked
"Its my traditional look" she said sharply, and I suggest you make your selves look respectable, and Jay, I hate to sound like Aphrodite but Purple and Yellow are so not you colors"
"I second that notion" Neil added
As Jay attempted to club Neil, Theresa asked about the dress code. "Toga or tux. The former I can produce for you" she said as they made there way to the stairs
Twenty minuets latter the Heroes were reassembled in the foyer. Jay and Theresa had gone with Toga and Athena had supplied them with top of the loom outfits. Jay was in a full-length men's toga with an embroidered design of waves, dolphins and the Argo around the hem. He also wore gilded armlets and a writhe of laurels. Theresa was in a flowing dress of white linen, after the Greek style. Her long red hair was tied back in a Greek style braids with gold threads woven in. she also wore a circlet of Laurels, only gilded. Neil and shown his vanity once again and was wearing a tailored Armenia suit. Archie had jazzed up his surfer look with a more gangster-ish one sporting a black suit over a wine red shirt and a fedora. Atlanta had borrowed one of Threseas dresses and looked eloquent in the black evening gown. Odie had come up with a nice pair of jeans and a shirt and tie. Herry surprised every one by going from farm boy to dress pants, turtle neck and suit jacket. After every one was looked over by Athena, and Neil the latter of which was doing it for spit, the heroes made ready to go.
"Where not going to have to walk back, are we?" Odie asked, recalling the weather forecast for an unseasonably late autumn thunderstorm. As if on cue there was a honk from outside.
"The gods hold you in higher standing then that" she said as she opened the door. Parked in front of the Brownstone was a stretch limo, a satyr in a driver's coat and hat stood holding the door. "Come along, we shouldn't be late" Athena said getting in. the seven heroes fallowed and soon they were all sitting in the back of a rather spacious limo. The satyr closed the door behind them and they pulled away.
Sitting with his back to the driver was a handsome youth with dark brown hair and piercing gray eyes. He wore a simple, but eloquent, toga and sandals. Resting against his leg was a classical Greek vase. Around him sat nine beautiful woman, each dressed in a similar toga. Some were cut short, some long. Some of them had shawls and some had scarves, but they all had the same intelligent look about them. Two were holding the classic comedy and tragedy masks that you see in theaters. "Evening all" the youth said.
"Evening Ganymede, are you in for the party, or thinking of going back to being cup bearer for the gods?" Athena said
"Yes and no, I'm acting as the go-for and collecting all the out lying guests, had to pick up the Muses from the airport when they came in, you guys and a couple others"
"The Muses?" Neil asked stupidly
"That would be us honey" the woman sitting to Ganymede's left said, "We are there Muses of the arts, history, Geometry and Astrology. I'm Calliope, the Muse of Epic Poetry"
"I am Clio, Muse of history" the one to Calliope's left said
"I'm Euterpe, Muse of music and lyrical poetry" the woman on Ganymedes right said "And that's Erato, shes lyrics & love poetry. That's Melpomene, she inpires tragedies, then thiers Polyhymnia, a wiz a geometry. Next to her is Terpsichore Muse of dancing. Beside her is Thalia muse of comedy. And Last, but not least, theres Urania, Muse of astronomy and astrology"
"And who are these Well dressed mortals?" Thalia asked
"These are the seven heroes, decended from the graetes of the past. Theres Jay, Theresa, Archie, Atlanta, Herry, Neil and Odie. They're deceded from Jason, Theseus, Achillies, Artimis, Hercules, Narcissus and Odysseus"
The Limo came to a stop. "this isn't the School" Atlanta asked, looking out the opened door into a forest.
"True" Ganymede said "Were picking up a few more divinities first" as he said this as rather handsome youth climbed into the limo. Or at least he would have been handsome if he didn't have the lower body of a goat and horns.
"Evening Pan" Ganymede said "Long time no see"
"Hey Aqua, nice to see yeah again man" Pan said cherraly "And what have we here, Erato, your looking beautiful this evening" the Muse blushed "and how are you guys," he said looking at the heroes "Like the outfit Jay, your's to Theresa. Tottaly toga" Pan himself was wearing a simple sash draped acrose his torso.
The hip hop sayter wasn't the last of their pasangers. They also Picked up Iris, the goddess of the rainbow and Heras personal mesanger. She was dressed in a beautifle silvery blue dress with a long rainbow sash. Then there was Nemesis, a tall sten woman in a grey and red toga. Athena explainded her stern looks due to her being the godess of retribution. After her they stopped at a hotel and picked up the final two.the first was Maia, hermes mother. A charming midle aged woman in a flatering, but reserved dress. The other was Hestia, the goddes of the hearth. She was soft spoken and shy and didn't talk much during the trip.
A quarter of an hour after they set out the arived at Olympia high. It was starting to rain litely so every on huried up the steps to the school. Once in Ganymede led them through the halls past lockers columes, classrooms and marble statues. Ganymede explaned that this was his seventh tripe though the school that evening and the group soon reached Mr. Suez's janitors closet. They all crowded through to the divine side of the school were Ganymede lead them past more columes, statues and busts. As they were walking odie looked over his shoulder and glimpsed a shadowy figuer falowing them. He blinked and she was lost to a darkened corodor. He sped up. The group stoped infrount of the large double doors that led to Heras study.
"Okay every one," Ganymede said "Gods infrount, mortals first. Okay good, now I will be acting as presenter so when you here your name called stepp in to the light. Oh don't scolle at me Nemesis, this is for the heroes its their first time. Okay avery one ready, okay, lets go" he said pushing open the large double doors.
