Okay, so I was bored. And hyper. A very difficult situation if I do say so myself. Then it hit me. Lacey is a really underdeveloped character, and deserves something weird to happen to her. You know, other than being the daughter of the god of winter. So that's how this story got started. Oh! I don't own PJO, or any form of batman.


"So Lacey, I was think we'll be sending you to Saint Anne's all-girls academy in Gotham city. What do you think?" Mr. Franks grinned and looked at me expectantly, waiting for an answer.

Idiot.

"Lacey? Did you hear him?" Mrs. Franks used an agonizingly slow voice, like I was three. "He said you're going to Saint Anne's. Isn't it great?"

Now I'm going to take some time to explain the imbeciles. I'm not a year round camper, I used to live with my mom. I came back home near the end of the summer and everything was just great. Until my mom committed suicide for seemingly no reason, leaving a note to inform all who read it that I would be sent to live with her best friend. And guess what? I never got a chance to contact camp about it, leaving me stuck with Mr and Mrs. Franks. Oh, but they don't want the responsibility of being parents, so now I have to go to a boarding school. And to think, it all happened in two weeks time.

"Sure." Why not leave behind my hometown and everything else that I care about to go to one of the most dangerous, ugly cities in America? I wrinkled my nose. "You just better let me go to my usual summer camp in Long island. It's kinda the only thing I've got in this point of my life."

"Excellent." Does he even know the meaning of the word sarcasm? "And in your mother's will, it clearly states that you must go to that place each summer until you're at least eighteen."

"And that is perfectly fine with us." Included his wife.

"Joy."


And that is how I got sent to the most irritating boarding school ever. There aren't even any boys here to beat up!

"So Miss. McKenzie, here is your class schedule, your room key, your locker combination, and your student ID tag." Office lady handed me a pile of stuff. "Don't loose any of these, they are essential."

"Um, thanks." I shifted uncomfortably from foot to foot. "Where do I go first?"

"Your room dear. All of your classes start tomorrow."

I nodded and scuttled out of the office, trying to carry my two ice blue duffels and all the new stuff to my dorm without dying. Just to let you know, I came in late. Most of the other girls had gotten there the day before.

"Come on you stupid bag!" I grunted, heaving it into an elevator. Why did I have to pack so much?

"Uh, need some help there?" A voice next to me asked.

When I turned my head, the first thing I noticed was blue. A lot of blue.

The girl I was standing next to was covered in it. Her hair was blue, her eyes were blue, her glasses were blue. Even her school uniform was dyed blue. She was really pale, but her face was covered in freckles.

"Yeah, thanks."

She took one of my duffels and was immediately dragged to the floor.

"Ugh! What the heck did you pack in these things? Bricks? Dumbbells? An anchor maybe?"

"Actually, clothes, some textbooks, and some weapons I made at summer camp." I giggled in a very Natalieish sort of way. "I'm Lacey by the way."

"Hilarious. I'm laughing my head off." She rolled her eyes. "I'm Bleu."

"Oh my gods, I never would have guessed!" I said sarcastically.

"Yeah, I get that a lot." She blinked. "Wait. Oh my gods?"

"Yup."

"Kay then."

The elevator stopped, and with a lot of effort, we dragged my stuff to my room. There were two beds, two desks, two dressers and two lamps on either side of the room. The left was already decked out in bat shaped objects, posters, and a life sized drawing of a guy in a bat suit. The other side was pretty much barren.

"Thanks Bleu, I can handle this part myself."

She shrugged and dropped my bag on the floor.

"See ya at dinner." She walked out.

I put black sheets and a light blue pillow and comforter on my bed. Then I hung up my giant glass compass and some snowboarding posters. A picture of my friends from camp went on the desk, along with whatever books I brought with me. I crammed my clothes into the tiny dresser. I put my toothbrush and stuff in the bathroom, and that finished it.

I heard a gasp from the bedroom, so I left the bathroom to see who it was. I'm really exciting, huh?

The girl in front of me was wearing the school uniform, her long red hair was in a braid down her back.

"Oh, you're my new roommate!" She squealed. "Nice to meet you, I'm Drew."

"Lacey. You know that your name means courageous in greek?"

"Awesome! You know greek?" Wow she's hyper.

"I dabble."

We talked for a little more before I asked her why she was obsessed with bats.

"Not bats, Batman."

I cocked my head. "Who?"

Drew paused, her eyes widening.

"You've... never heard of Batman?" She squeaked in a tiny voice.

"Nope."

She gave an earsplitting shriek, then dragged a scrapbook out from under her bed.

After an hour of forced learning, I was well educated in Batman.

"Oh, and this is Twoface, and Poison Ivy, and-" I cut her off as she began listing every and any villain in the city.

"I get it! There are like, a million villains in this city. Batman protects everybody and sends the bad guys to Arkham. Yet another reason to hate boarding school."

A bell rang outside in the hall.

"Ooh, that's dinner!" Drew grabbed my arm and began to drag me toward the cafeteria. Maybe Gotham won't be so bad after all.


So, what do you think? This was just an idea I had, it's up to you if I continue or not. Review and tell me your opinion.
