I own nothing except Thorn, Killer, Kira, Melony, Shira, Alexandra, Katie, the random monkeys that appear in this story, and Mrs. Grivel

A couple of things you need to know before reading this story

Mrs. Grivel is clueless

We are all halfbloods except for me (Thorn) and Kira

I am a full Goddess (Daughter of Artemis and Poseidon)

Melony is the daughter of Janus (and we never let her forget it)

Shira is the daughter of Demeter and really likes cereal.

Kira is the Daughter of Nemesis (revenge) and Hades

Alexandra is the daughter of Athena (she failed on purpose to go on this trip with us)

Katie is the daughter of Hephaestus and built me the, well… you'll see

UUAOTLPWR means Unidentified Undead Animal On The Lose Probably With Rabies

WE ALL ATRACT TROUBBLE

I must begin by having a short moment of silence for the things that died in this story. May Mrs. Grivel's sanity, Melony's love of marine life, and Shira's dignity's rest in peace. Glad we got that over with.

Anyways, lets start at the field trip to Washington State. 4:30 in the morning, it was extra credit, I was failing. Nuff said. Almost everyone on the trip was failing, which is to say it was me, Melony, Shira, Alexandra, Kira, Katie and Mrs. Grivel, who was the history teacher.

Well, and my 2-week-old venomous Kimono Dragon, but he was in the little habitat that Katie had set up in my overnight bag.

The people on the trip were my three best friends and my two worst enemies. Kira, Katie and Alexandra (who we call Drew) are my best friends.

Now I'm no math genius (being ADHD, Dyslexic and a Greek Goddess will do that to you) but I'm pretty sure that that would leave me with Melony and Shira as my worst enemies.

I had been Iris messaging Eros the whole tour and hadn't heard a word that anyone was saying. I guess that's what happens when you Iris message to a really good-looking God who is the God of seduction and desire (who also happens to be your boyfriend).

I'm pretty sure that the tour guide got almost everything wrong, because Alexandra had that look on her face that means you're about to get seriously injured because you missed something that she thought should have been obvious.

Katie had snuck away from the tour and completely modified, and finished the building of, the time machine in the museaum.

And Kira… well, Kira just had some sort of dead thing on a stick and was trying to bring it back to life.

"IT'S NOT WORKING!" Kira screamed and stomped her foot in frustration. I cut off the connection after saying goodbye to Eros and walked over to my impatient friend.

"Kira" I said gently, "it is working. It's just that if you keep it impaled on a stick it gets killed every time the thing wakes up."

Kira yanked the furry lump off of her pointy stick (we call it her Dead Thing Holder or DTH for short) and put it on the ground. Then she touched it and scrunched up her face with what looked like a lot of effort and the thing jumped up and scurried off.

"What was that?" I asked, worried.

"No freaking clue." Kira said happily.

"Did it have rabies?"

"Probably"

I called for Alexandra and motioned for her to come over.

"Gloves" I said. "This is a code red UUAOTLPWR."

"Yikes"

Yes " Yikes" about summed up our situation in my opinion.
