Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own anything, not the series, characters, Zellers, Green Day, nothing. If I did I'd probably be living in a castle by now, surrounded by chocolate and lemonade.
Updates will come 1-2 times a week, maybe more if I have some super inspiration. Flames will be met with some water powers courtesy of one son of Poseidon.
Enjoy!
015. Sunglasses
They walk into the store, trying to look casual with their ripped, dirty, clothes, and messy hair. Adults and children alike stare as they pass, but they keep their cool- at least Luke does. Often in public places, Thalia would send a, "what the hell are you looking at" glare, making crowds part just to let the twelve year old through.
This was no exception.
"At least try to look like a harmless by passer." Luke whispers to her.
She just shrugs like she doesn't have a care in the world, and continues through the large department store. He knows he shouldn't have brought her to Zellers, he knows they should just stick to nice little second hand stores with no surveillance cameras to see them "borrow" some merchandise. Of course, Thalia didn't want to, she wanted to check out the local Zellers to see if they had the newest Green Day cd. All it took was a look at her electric blue eyes, and he couldn't resist agreeing.
She stops abruptly as they turn a corner, making Luke stumble.
She just laughs. "Having some trouble walking?"
"Depends; you having trouble seeing?" He shoots back; as they're nowhere near the music/electronic section of Zellers, it's all the way on the other side of the store. No, Thalia stopped in front of a rather nice looking sunglasses stand.
Her mouth turns up into a smirk as she grabs a pair of pink framed glasses meant for babies and sticks them on Luke's rather surprised face.
"Aren't you pretty." She says squeezing his cheeks.
Despite his best efforts, a small blush spreads across his tanned skin.
"Thalia, come on, we can't stay for long, you know they'll find us."
She just rolls her eyes. She not scared of much of anything, monsters, gods, fate, you name it, and she'll make some kind of sarcastic joke about it. Even if a monster rampaged toward her this minute, she'd probably make fun of it before attacking. Luke knew he wasn't much better, but at least he had some sense of when to fight his battles.
"We're in Zellers. You really think a hellhound will just barge in here now and start munching on clothing racks and sunglasses stands?" She mocks.
"Clothing racks, sunglasses stands and demigods? Frankly, yea, I do."
He grabs a pair of star shaped, dark tinted glasses, pushing them up the bridge of Thalia's nose.
"Now you're getting it!" She exclaimed, switching his baby shades for a pair of huge, circle shaped lenses.
"Look, now all you need is a lightning scar and you'll be all ready to fight Lord Voldemort!" Thalia said, throwing her head back laughing.
Luke let out a snicker, as they began the largest sunglasses war known in Zeller's history. They continued until an employee came to shut them down, a red eyed hellhound actually did attack, and the police were after them for stealing seventeen pairs of sunglasses. Looking back, Luke knew it was reckless and stupid, but he couldn't bring himself to care.
Only by the time they'd already moved onto another town, did Luke realize they never did get the Green Day cd they had went for.
He guessed the seventeen pairs of sunglasses were enough to keep Thalia amused for a while anyway.
