Jay walked down towards the kitchen for breakfast. It was still early I the morning so he was the only one up. As he walked past the lounge room he heard a moan. Following the sound, he entered the room and found the girls asleep on the couches. Atlanta lay on the first couch with a pile of DVD's next to her. The girls must have had their horror movie marathon all night, he thought. Jay started to walk out of the room when he heard the moan again.
Turning around he saw Theresa on the second couch. The sun shone through the window and made her hair blaze like fire. She is so beautiful, he through. Suddenly Jay's thoughts were interrupted by another moan from Theresa. Jay wandered over to her and noticed her shivering. Has she been like this all night? He wondered reaching over for a blanket. He slowly pulled the blanket up to the girl's slender shoulders and sighed. In the morning sun she looked like a sleeping angel, his sleeping angel, well some day any way. He stroked her cheek gently and signed. Jay had had a crush on Theresa since the first time they had met. As they got to know each other they had become best friends and he had fallen in love with her. They had become really close over the past few weeks and his love for her was becoming harder to keep a secret.
A moan from Atlanta jolted Jay out of his day dream. She muttered something about Archie and turned over. Jay couldn't help but smile. It was soooo obverse that Archie liked her but she was still totally clueless. Jay turned his attention back to Theresa. She had stopped shivering and was peacefully dreaming. His eyes wandered down her body and stopped on her shoulder. He winced as he remembered why she was his secret love. On Theresa's shoulder was a large gash from when they had last fought Cronus. The Team was starting to pick up on his affection for the red haired physic but couldn't understand why he wouldn't ask her out. Of course he didn't know if she liked him back (but he had a hunch she did!) and if he told her she would be in more danger. If Cronus knew that he loved Theresa, he would use her against him and target her. Looking back at Theresa's innocent face, he made up his mind. He couldn't let her know he loved her, not yet anyway. Maybe when they had defeated Cronus he would tell her but until them she would have to stay his secret love.
With that he left his sleeping angel and headed to the kitchen.

Cronus hovered over his reflection pool, trying to plot his next evil plan. When the pool showed him his last humiliating defeat, Cronus whipped around in rage and chucked his scythes at the giants. The giants scrambled to get out of his way, they may be dumb but there was one thing they knew, don't anger Cronus!
Regaining control Cronus turned to his head giant.
"Tell me Agnon, why is it that those bratty kids always defeat me?"
The giant shrugged and Cronus rolled his eyes. He needed to get better minions giants were too dumb.
"I need to find their weakness, and this time I'll destroy them for sure!" he laughed.

Theresa slowly opened her eyes and sat up. What a night! Had they really spent all night watching horror movies? She looked around seeing the empty bowls of popcorn and DVD's scattered everywhere. Apparently they had. She went to get up and tripped on the blanket. I don't remember leaving this here, she wandered. Suddenly she heard a bang in the kitchen. Jay was there finishing up breakfast. Theresa smiled, he must have done that he is soooo sweet sometimes. Blushing slightly, she stood up and moved to the kitchen.
Theresa walked up behind Jay and smiled, "Morning Jay." Jay turned around suddenly, lost his balance and fell into the sink. Theresa couldn't help giggling. The look of surprise on his face was priceless. She didn't see it often from him because he was always their 'serious, macho leader' but she could still surprise him every once in a while, that was why she loved him. Blushing majorly, Jay pulled himself out of the sink. "Theresa, I thought you were still asleep I was, umm, was."
Before he could finish Theresa held up the blanket, "Is this yours?" he nodded slightly.
"Thanks," she said handing it back to him. Jay started blushing all over again.
"Soo, were you girls up all night watching horror movies?" he asked.
"Yep, Atlanta wouldn't turn the darn thing off." She rubbed her eyes sleepily and grabbed out the weet-bix box.
"You guys weren't scared, were you?" he muttered nervously. Theresa walked over and punched him in the arm.
"No way, I can take care of myself." With that she walked up to her room.
"Are you going to the school?" Jay asked.
"Yeah, I've got a training lesson with Miss Persephone."
"I come to I have to see Hera about our plan to destroy Cronus," replied Jay.
You worry way too much about him, Theresa thought as she walked away from the boy she secretly loved. Way too much.
