Hello readers do you like the story Hercules and the Modern Girl?...Yes! Well it is a good story with a great Oc but some of us might want something different. But no worries I've decided to write a different story with a different plot with my own OC as Herc's love interest the idea came to me while reading Hercules and the Modern Girl so don't be surprise if some things seem kind of the same but remember this is different! This story will have some elements of real Greek mythology, the Percy Jackson series and the Disney series and movie. Also note that Herc will be age up to 21 pretty sure his age in the movie is 18 because it's supposed to start after the series but for me logically I would think that he trained for a few years after High School before he decided to try being a hero. So the beginning of this story takes place a year before it gets into the parts about the movie but is still after High School because even the youngest of us who grow up watching this is in college now.
I own nothing if I did I wouldn't be writing it here it would be on the big screen!
Phedra pov
"Life is a journey." said every 'deep' person ever! I mean sure it's true but I've always viewed that deep saying as nothing but people just stating the obvious. So of course because I thought this way by the laws of the universe something crazy has to happen so that I can experience this saying first hand.
But let's start from the beginning first off my name is Phedra not a traditional name for a Caribbean American living in Boston, Mass seeing as it was Greek but after twenty years of wondering why it was that way me and my brothers will finally get an answer. Also fun fact me and my older brothers are triplets, the first born was Pyrros the oldest of us three, second born is Pontius and then there was me who was born last. We live with our mother Janet Hardy, but only when we are not away at university.
Besides that here are some things you should know about me first my full name is Phedra Aella Hardy, I'm 20 years old about 5'8, have brown skin very long curly black hair, brown eyes and a curvy body. My favorite things are super heroes, dancing, singing, drawing, and painting, playing the piano (I like art in general) and reading myths especially Greek ones! I grow up watching and loving most Disney movies, The Lion King is my number one fav number two is Hercules but we'll get into that later. Also I grow up watching 90's to early 2000's shows so those will always hold a place heart. I have a pretty straight forward honest personality though if you asked my brothers they would tell you that I'm sarcastic and cunning mostly. Speaking of which….
My brothers look about the same as me except that they are both 6'2 and have short black hair and have more of a muscular body type some might say their handsome; but I would never feed their ego by telling them that. Our personalities are very different for triplets except that we are all a bit mischievous, first Pyrros is very much like the meaning of his name of the three of us he can be a very heated person always the first person to get upset over something but strangely calm whenever he is staring at a flame. It is not uncommon for one of us to catch him setting a piece of paper on fire just to stare at it.
On the other hand Pontius for the most part is usually very level headed, maybe it's because he is the middle child. It takes a lot to get him angry and he loves water more than anyone that I know. Also very much like the meaning of his name he's even gone swimming in the ocean during the winter time which of course got our mom really mad. Then there is me the stormy one according to my brothers.
I guess it's kind of true, were others would hate stormy days I loved them very much. I feel that I take after my middle name more than my first name. Don't get me wrong I like Phedra which means shining one but Aella means storm which I think fits me better. Hell my favorite super hero is Storm from X-men! But according to mom our 'father' picked the names that best suited us. You may be wondering who our father even is well until about two months ago we didn't know either until one day…
Normal pov Flashback two months ago
"Guys can't we just agree on one thing to watch on Netflix?!" Phedra all but yelled at her brothers they'd only been back home one week since the end of the spring semester and here they were arguing about Netflix!
"This would be over if he would just agree to watch Archer!" Pyrros exclaims glaring at their brother in angry.
"You've seen every episode already! I want to watch Naruto! Pontius says shooting a glare back at Pyrros.
"And you've seen all the episodes for that too! So why are you complaining about watching Archer?" Pyrros argues.
"Because you think that just because you're the oldest…."Pontius begins to say but years of having to hear arguments like theses has given Phedra the ability to just block them out. Personally she wouldn't have had a problem watching either shows. But since they couldn't agree and she had the remote she decided to play Disney's Hercules since they wouldn't notice. "And another thing…Hey Phedra is playing Hercules again!" Ops looks like Pontius finally noticed.
"No, no we are not watching this again! Give me the remote." Pyrros says while trying to grab the remote from her hand.
"Hey! It already started and you guys couldn't agree so I picked something!" Phedra said glaring at her brother while fighting him for the remote.
"Doesn't matter I'm stopping this movie right now! We are going to watch Archer!" Pyrros says trying to pull the remote towards himself.
"No we are watching Naruto!" Pontius yells getting into the fight over the remote trying to get control of it himself.
"But Hercules is already playing we might as well just watch it!" Phedra yelled glaring at her brothers.
Too bad for them they were so busy wrestling each other for the remote that they didn't notice the TV glowing in a strange blue color then the room started shaking and then all of a sudden they were being sucked into their very own TV.
"Whoa what's going on?" Phedra cried in shock and fear as the three of them continued to rapidly fall down not knowing when and where they would land.
"I don't know but lock hands so we don't lose each other!" Pyrros ordered which in hindsight was a good idea. Pyrros may have a hot temper but luckily for them he was also a quick thinker.
"Guys brace yourselves I think whatever is going on is about to stop!" Pontius yells while they squeeze their hands tighter as they braced themselves to land on the ground.
They luckily managed to land safely in the middle of some hills on the outskirts of a town that seemed to be about a ten maybe fifteen minute walk from where they were. Phedra looked around in shock not only because herself and her brothers were now suddenly in a foreign place but also because this placed looked like a cartoon!
"I think I must have hit my head harder than I thought because if I didn't know any better I'd swear we're in a cartoon." Phedra stated after standing up and looking around.
"I think I hit my head just as hard because if I didn't know any better I'd say we're also cartoons!" Pyrros added in shock while looking himself over.
"We've been Disney'd! Look at this place this great animation, perfect details we've got to be in a Disney movie." Pontius added in. "The question now is to figure out how we got here?"
"Last thing I remembered was us fighting over the remote." Phedra said thinking out loud while pacing. "Though that still doesn't explain how we got here."
"I think I remember the room shaking maybe there was a sudden earthquake happening at the same time?" Pontius pondered.
"Right we must have hit or heads and now we're dreaming this whole thing." Pyrros concluded.
"Dreaming?" Phedra questioned shaking her head at the very idea. "How could the three of us be dreaming up the same thing at the same time?! And follow up question why would the dream be in a Disney movie?!"
"Well Hercules was playing while we were fighting for the remote which means it was on our minds even if on a subconscious level." Pontius begins to explain.
"So what because we're triplets we just happen to be having this Disney dream together? She said sarcastically!" Phedra said sarcastically.
"If you've got a better idea Phedra we'd love to hear it!" Pontius countered back, knowing she wouldn't be able to come up with anything she stayed quiet. "That's what I thought."
"I should kill you while you sleep." Phedra whispered under her breathe crossing her arms in a huff.
"Enough! You two we've got to figure out how to get out of this." Pyrros stated in his 'I'm taking charge now' tone.
"Well if we're dreaming the only thing we can do is carry on until we wake up." Phedra stated taking a seat on a large rock.
"So what wait here until we wake up?" Pontius asked also sitting down. "Which is not a bad idea the weather is good, hills carry a nice relaxing breeze through here if there was a lake or something then it would be perfect."
"That's Disney magic at work luckily I was playing one of their movies or we wouldn't have this awesome scenery." Phedra said while relaxing into the rock.
"Well I don't think we should just stay here all day let's go to that town over there." Pyrros said but Pontius and Phedra knew it was an order.
"Ah we can't do that." Pontius states not even moving to stand up.
"And why not?" Pyrros asked starting to get annoyed.
"Well for one look at how we are dressed." Phedra stated calmly looking down at her modern clothes it was just a yellow t-shirt, black shorts with sandals but she knew it would weird people out here. "We're most likely in Ancient Greece and I'm pretty sure we left our togas at home."
"Second what would we tell people in town when they asked why we're here?" Pontius stated as well. "Pretty sure they don't see many people looking like us around here."
"Third unless you've got some money lying around that you've failed to tell us about, how would we be able to buy anything in town." Phedra finished stating. "So we've got three foreign young adults walking around in Ancient Greece with no money or explanation on why they're even here. Going into town would be asking for trouble."
"You guys forget that this is a Disney movie dream so that means-" Pyrros begins to say while pulling money out of his pockets. "That everything always has to work out for the heroes of the story."
"Wait there is money in our pockets?" Phedra question while checking her own pockets. "Oh my god there is money in my pocket. How?"
"Heroes in a Disney movie always get some kind of loophole." Pyrros says with a shrug.
"But Aladdin was poor and living on the streets-" Phedra began to argue.
"But was able to get a magic genie and marry a princess even though he lied to get into her pants and it wasn't even supposed to be legal for a peasant to marry a princess." Pyrros says cutting her off mid-sentence.
"But?" She tried to argue again.
"Phedra in the movie they did say it was the law and just because Aladdin said he was sorry everything was forgiven just like that. Pyrros is right Disney Heroes get everything handed to them in one way or the other." Pontius added with a shrug.
"This is just our hand out, it is our dream after all." Pyrros resolved.
"Ok so we have some money, we still need an explanation on why we would be in their town?" Phedra reminded them of the other reason why they couldn't leave.
"We'll just tell people we come from a rich trading family all the way from…Africa and that our rich parents are looking to trade with some new cities so they sent us to travel around and look for cities with goods to trade." Pyrros stated confidently.
"What about our clothes or the fact that we don't have carriages or servants traveling with us?" Phedra questioned again.
"We'll tell them it's the latest African fashion and that we decided to travel discreetly." Pyrros says with a shrug.
"Travel discreetly?" She said sarcastically crossing her arms and looking at him like he'd grown a second head.
"Come on Phedra! If there is one thing we've learned from being in college is that everyone loves rich foreigners that want to do business with you." Pyrros said with a smirk. "The only thing that makes people happier than seeing a rich person is hearing that they are willing to give you some of their wealth."
"Pyrros is right, all we'd have to do is tell one person this story and the whole town would start eating out of the palms of our hands. We wouldn't even have to spend too much money people will just start giving things out of 'the kindness of their hearts' even though secretly they just want our business." Pontius added agreeing to the plan.
"Hmm, I guess you to make a good point." Phedra said shaking her head but giving in. "I guess it also wouldn't hurt you guys to have the town's pretty young woman throwing themselves at you huh?" She added with a smirk.
"Hopefully not all at once I would hate not being able to catch someone." Pyrros said smirking back his sister.
"And they will be Disney babes those background girls are always so…needy." Pontius states with a devilish smile.
"Oh right like the babettes in Beauty & the Beast." Pyrros agrees getting into the conversation which Phedra started to tune out; that's one of the things that sucks about being the only girl they'd have these conversations and she'd have to hear them. "Oh my god though if we had landed in Who Framed Roger Rabbit instead…Jessica Rabbit."
"Wait a minute?" Pontius says darkly and suddenly stops walking.
"What?" Pyrros and Phedra asked at the same time giving him their attention.
"If we had been watching Naruto like I wanted to in the first place we'd be in the Hidden Leaf Village right now!" Pontius states glaring at his sister darkly. "I could be training to be a ninja by now Phedra!"
"What? Pontius you're being silly you could not pull off being a ninja!" She countered back.
"Well I guess we'll never know then will we?!" Pontius shouts rolling his eyes while continued to walk.
"Ok Pontius stop. Is it Phedra fault that you could have been a ninja now yes-" "HEY?" "Is it also her fault that I can't be in a world with not only spies but great humor yes." Pyrros started saying.
"What is the point of these statements?" Phedra asked starting to get annoyed.
"Point? No I was just stating facts because we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you and your many Disney cartoon crushes." Pyrros answered.
"What? Psh." She said flustered trying really hard not to blush. "That isn't even true."
"Ah yeah it is!" Pontius added in. "I swear you've been in love with Hercules forever! You know when you're not in love with Aladdin or Tarzan or-" He began to trail off.
"Ok, ok fine whatever!" Phedra said in an embarrassed huff. "And FYI it's not always Disney guys remember that year I had a crush on Samurai Jack? And might I add that you guys were just drooling over the Babettes and Jessica Rabbit!"
"Look alive people we're here." Pontius interrupted. "Welcome to Athens!"
It again blows their minds again how Disney can create a worlds that look so beautiful, it's one thing to watch it on a TV it's another thing to see it in front of you. It's also funny how Disney can have plots in ancient times but still get away with a modern twist like a mall.
"We should start with a change of clothes, so that we can blend." Phedra stated eyeing the clothing store.
"We don't need to worry about that we have a story." Pyrros exclaimed. "You just want a reason to shop."
"Why would they believe we're trying to be discreet if our clothing will be so out of place for this area?" She explained. "Also how many times do we get a chance to even wear togas?"
Her brothers didn't argue with her after that, it must have been the weird looks they were getting from the shoppers. Though they hadn't asked them anything they knew that someone would eventually, if Phedra remember correctly from the series this is a very popular place in Athens for people to go. They walked into the first clothing store they could find and on display was a toga that Phedra fall in love with. It was long peach colored with a small poncho that went on top of the toga. She hurried to find an employee who could help her, luckily there was a blonde haired teenager working the counter it wouldn't be a surprised if she turned out to be a huge gossip.
"Hello there can you tell me how much that toga on display costs?" Phedra asked politely to the young girl, she turns to look at her obviously annoyed to be interrupted from not working and looks at Phedra barely able to contain her disgust.
"Are you sure something like that is even in your…style?" The girl says in a bit of a stuck up tone but Phedra ignore it.
"I know it's so different from the clothes we have in Africa ops I shouldn't have said that." Phedra said with fake remorse.
"You're from Africa?!" The teen asked in a barely controlled excitement, she just went from annoyed to interest.
"Shh, not so loud." Phedra said pretending to look around. "Can you keep a secret?" She asked faking sudden shyness.
"Of course, I promise." The teen said eagerly, Phedra mentally did an eye row she wouldn't but hopefully they can use it to their advantage.
"See the thing is my brothers and I come from a rich family of traders in Africa and they want to you know expand trading with other cities; so they asked us to discreetly travel from different towns and cities just to find out what they had." Phedra explained to her with fake sweetness.
"Oh of course I understand, I won't tell anybody!" The girl says jumping out from behind the counter much to Phedra's surprise. "I'll just go get that toga for you right now. You said the peach one right? Do you need anything else we have a lot of other great togas or maybe you're thirsty I'll go get you some water-cold water even." This girl had gone from lazy to employee of the month in five seconds.
"Oh please I only need the toga, you don't have to go out of your way to do so many other things after all I don't want special treatment or anything." Phedra said again with fake sweetness. Although I'm sure you'll do it anyway.
"Oh it's no problem at all and I'll even get someone else to help your brothers too!" The teen said hurrying on her way. Five minutes later every employee including the manager was there helping the triplets with their shopping right now they were being fitted.
"Miss I know you really like the peach one but this plum colored one would look really nice on you as well." The manager tried to talk Phedra into getting it since it was one of the most expensive togas and while it was nice looking she really just wanted the peach one.
"That's alright really the peach one will be just fine for me." Phedra insisted. "But thank you for your help you must be so busy running the store."
"Oh yes you know this is a family owned business and we like to take care of our customers." The manager began to explain. "I just one day hope we can expand our business so that we could build more stores in other cities. Maybe one of our nice customers can take care of us back." Phedra had to fight the need to roll her eyes.
"Maybe one day you can your clothes are really well made." Phedra said politely, though inside she was starting to get annoyed. "I think I'll just pay for this toga, I still want to look at a few other stores today." She stepped down from the stool that she was standing on and moved to the front counter to pay for it.
"Wait! Miss you don't need to pay for that you can even wear it out." The manager said running up to catch up to Phedra.
"Really that's so generous of you." Phedra said to her in fake shock.
"It's no problem dear you're new in town!" The manager says waving it off.
"Oh but there must be something I can do you to return this kindness." Phedra said, now she was actually starting to feel a little bad about their lie.
"Well if you really want to make it up to me you can just tell everyone you know and meet where you got that toga. Oh and here's one of our business cards in case you need to give someone directions to the store. I'm sure that once someone let's say your parents sees you they'll want a toga from here as well." The manager said it innocently enough but Phedra could tell what her actually motivation was.
"I'll be sure to do that." Phedra said as politely as she walked away from the manager and entered a dressing room, after a quick change and putting her modern clothes into a bag she went to search for her brothers. She finally found them dressed in new togas and surround by at least twenty woman. Gold-diggers!
"Hey bros! You ready to go?" She asked in a cheery voice already knowing the answer.
"Actually we're going to look at a few more things here." Pyrros explained with a smirk wearing a new cherry red toga as a few girls giggled and blushed. "The girls here want to show me a few more togas that would ah match my eyes."
"Yeah and after that they want us to hit their favorite spots." Pontius added with a smirk equal to their older brother wearing a new aqua toga.
"You're going to hit their favorite spots huh?" She asked crossing her arms with a raised eyebrow, sure they could hear the word pervert in her tone of voice.
"You know for food and maybe some other things?" Pontius says devilish without any shame the girls continue to giggle at the brothers.
"Definitely going to do food and other things." Pyrros added with an equal amount of shamelessness.
"So I guess I'll meet you guys at the fountain in five minutes since it will only take you that long to do food and other things." Phedra turned and left on that joke laughing out the store before either could recover, she knew her brothers were acting like normal good looking boys but you'd think they'd have some control.
So she went window shopping by herself which was an interesting time since she had never seen so many people try to get her into their stores while pretending that they don't know anything about the rumor that she started. Well news does travel fast even faster in smaller places like these. Anyway she'd had people try to get her to look at their jewels, try their food, clothes, pots, you name it. It was hard to get a moments peace but magically she somehow got it for like one second.
"So you're the African princess I've been hearing so much about." Said a male voice out of nowhere.
"African princess?" Phedra questioned turning to see who it was only to be disgusted looking into the face of Adonis, Hercules's High School bully and the man that Megara gave her life for only for him to turn around and leave her for someone else. "I believe you are mistaken." She said trying to get away from him.
"Now, now princess I know you're trying to be 'discreet' and everything but don't worry I'm a royal as well." Adonis stated in a superior tone. "In fact I'd dare say you're almost as pretty as me."
"Is that a fact?" Phedra said sarcastically not that he even caught on. So want to punch you in the face.
"Yes it is." Adonis stated oblivious and to make matters worse he had the nerve to but his arm around her. "How about you and I go out tonight and who knows if you play your cards right I might even leave my girlfriend for you." He said in what he thought was a smooth talking voice.
"Excuse me?!" Phedra exclaimed her temper going up higher she might really just punch this guy right now.
"Well, yeah my girlfriend is cool and everything but she's starting to get too clingy." Adonis stated explaining. Not clingy enough since she's not here right now. "I just need something different and you're good looking enough."
Phedra was really about to punch this pretty boy in his stupid face when she notice someone behind Adonis. "This girlfriend of yours she wouldn't happen to be 5'7 wears a purple toga and has long brown hair in a high ponytail would she?" She asked with fake sweetness.
"Yeah, wow you described her perfectly." Adonis said clearly impressed.
"That's because your girlfriend is right behind you!" Phedra said with a smirk as his face paled at her words.
"Meg! Hi I didn't see you there?" Adonis said nervously pulling at his collar.
"Well you don't ever have to worry about seeing me ever again Adonis." Meg yells slapping him in the face. "Your clingy ex-girlfriend never wants to see you again!" Meg finishes as she storms away.
Adonis just shakes off the slap and the breakup like it was no big deal. "Now that the nightmare is gone where were we?" Adonis says putting his arm back around Phedra and bring his face closer to hers.
"Right here." Phedra said with fake sweetness and as he moved in closer instead of being met with her lips he was met a fist and a knee to the groin. "Asshole did you really think I'd want you?" And with that she walked away with a smile. Punching jerks like that always puts a smile on her face added to the fact that she just saved Meg from having to sell her soul to Hades is an even bigger plus…well at least in this dream. Phedra was so happy that she didn't notice the person leaving the training equipment store carrying a load of weights almost to the ceiling in her path until she bumped into him and fall down.
"Ow, did anyone get the number of the truck that just hit me?" Phedra said from the ground rubbing her head.
"Oh miss I'm so sorry I didn't see you!" The male dropped the weights with a loud thud moving to help her up. "I should have listen to Phil and taken a few at a time even though I could lift it all." Wait I know that voice.
"Hercules?" Phedra said in a whisper sudden face to face with the handsome musclebound adult Hercules it was a surprise running into Meg but the hero of this movie himself that's just crazy luck.
"I'm sorry do I know you miss?" Hercules asked with a light blush from staring into her pretty brown eyes as he held her hand helping her up; he swear he could feel sparks just from holding her hand. "Because if I have and I forgot I must have hit my head really hard at some point to not remember you."
"What? No I don't know you at all!" Phedra proclaimed shaking her head turning away to hide the face palm moment when she realized he heard her say his name.
"But I thought I heard you say Hercules?" He explains further. "W-Which is my name actually." He says with a stutter rubbing his neck nervously.
"Oh no, no I said hurts geezes." She explained trying to cover her tracks while rubbing her head as if she were in a lot of pain. "Yeah when I hit my head it really hurt."
"Oh right, of course I'm so sorry do you need me to get you anything? Maybe some ice would help? Oh sit down!" Hercules began to fuss over Phedra making her sit down at a nearby bench. "I'm really, really sorry."
"It's ok the pain is going away and I'm sure you didn't run into me on purpose. In fact some of the blame is on me since I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. I guess I was just a little too giddy." She whispered the last part but Herc could hear it anyway.
"Oh why were you giddy?" Herc asked Phedra turned to look at him surprised by his question which he noticed from the look on her face. "If you don't mind me asking?" He added shyly. She decided to answer since he would probably get a kick out of it as well.
"Oh this jerk named Adonis tried to hit on me early and he didn't realize that his girlfriend was standing right behind him and so of course when I pointed her out she yelled at him and slapped him in the face. For whatever reason he thought I'd be interested in him so when he tried to kiss me I punched him in the face and kneed him in the groin." She explained and couldn't help but to chuckle just thinking about it.
"Ah Adonis even though it's been a few years since High School he still hasn't grown up." Hercules says annoyed clearly remembering his bully from school.
"Oh you know that guy?" Phedra asked foreign innocence, of course she already knew this but he didn't know that.
"Yeah but we really didn't get along too well." Herc just explained as plainly as that, he really was a nice guy he could have gone on a rant about how bad Adonis is but choose to keep it civil. "So was there ahem another reason why you ahem punched Adonis?" He asked as innocently as he could manage.
"What do you mean?" Phedra asked kind of confused staring at him while trying to figure out his question. "He was a jerk so I punched him."
"No, I mean yeah he's a jerk but you could have also been mad because…you have a boyfriend or something?" Herc explained with a blush as he stuttered nervously.
"Oh no, no I don't have a boyfriend or something." She told him gaining a light blush of her own as the conversation continued on.
"Great!" He shouted almost too excitedly. "I mean because I don't have one either." He paused having realized how his sentence had probably sounded to her. "I meant girlfriend, don't have a girlfriend."
Phedra had to giggle at him again, this was always one of the reasons why she liked him for so long he was just so genially goofy even when he was nervous about a girl. "Hercules you are just so cute!" Phedra said lightly flicking his nose after her statement.
"Thanks Miss ah wait we've been talking all this time and I don't even know your name." Herc stated another blush forming clearly embarrassed by the fact he didn't ask early.
"It's actually Phedra." She told him.
"Phedra. Shining one?" Hercules says out loud committing the name to memory.
"Yeah, I know it seems out of place but-" She began to explaining looking down she was used to people hearing that name and being confused and questioning the very idea.
"It's perfect." Hercules says interrupting her thoughts.
"Wait what?" Phedra asked confused about to turn over to look at him again, but he lifts up her chin to face him before she could.
"Your name I think it's perfect for you." He told her softly staring into her eyes brown again.
"Thanks." Was all she was able to manage as she stared back into his intense blue eyes hearing this brought a smile to his face.
"Phedra would you like to-" Herc began to ask but before he could finish his question.
"Hey kid why haven't you brought the weights over to the cart yet I've been waiting!" The new voice interrupted.
"Phil!" Herc whines in an irritated voice. "I'm kind of busy right now!"
"Busy with WHAT? Whoa hello there-" Phil changes his tone as soon as he sees Phedra and quickly gets between Herc and the girl. "Miss?"
"Phedra." She answered with mild amusement.
"I'm Philoctetes but you can call me your new main squeeze." Phil says in his 'most' charming voice not paying attention to how annoyed Herc was behind him.
"I think I'll just stick to Phil." She plainly told him.
"Yeah well Phil was just KIDDING anyway right Phil?" Herc enters the conversation trying to hide his jealousy moving Phil away from between them to behind him. "I'm sorry Phedra, Phil tends to come on a little too strong when he's around pretty girls."
"It's fine really." She said waving it off, she knew that this was just how Phil's character behaved, although said goat-man was getting annoyed with them ignoring him. "So you think I'm pretty?"
"I-I well uh yes." Hercules stuttered nervously blushing once again as Phedra stared into his eyes once more.
"First all the girls at this mall are too busy with those new rich pretty boys and now this." Phil muttered irritated by the fact that Phedra wasn't interested in him but his student instead.
"New rich pretty boys?" She questioned, Sounds like my brothers great now it's going to be even harder getting them to leave.
"Oh, I think I heard about them they're like traders or something? They have a sister with them too." Hercules question but then shrugged his shoulders. "The mall has been going crazy over them."
"Please, you won't see me breaking my back for some stuck up, spoiled rich kids." Phil says in disgust not realizing that he was talking about her and her brothers. "This town doesn't need another family coming in and expecting to be put up on a pedestal so they could look down on us unworthy commoners!"
"Hmm, well I've got to go look for them now." Phedra said she felt like she would explode at any minute so she stood up and beginning to walk away from the two of them.
"Wait? Phedra you're not interested in those kind of guys are you?" Herc asked his confidence was going down a bit.
"Of course, that's why she wasn't into me, so rich pretty boys are more your style right?" Phil says with a smug look on his face.
"No those so called rich pretty boys are actually my brothers." She explained forcefully watching as they both cringed. "And I just wanted to figure out when they'd be done here so I could stop bothering you commoners with my 'rich spoiled ways'!" With a huff she stormed away from the two clearly upset over their accusations.
"Wait! Phedra don't go." Herc exclaimed getting off the bench to follow after her.
"Hey Kid you still need to bring the weights to the cart and Pegasus is waiting!" Phil yelled after his student.
"Later Phil!" Hercules yelled while still chasing after Phedra not really paying any mind to his trainer.
"Sir we're gonna need you to get these weights out of here." A tall fat security guard with a club threatens Phil.
Image having to run in the Olympics and being really mad at the starting line, that's pretty much how Phedra felt at that moment. It wouldn't have been so bad if it was just Herc's question but it being followed by Phil's statement just left a nasty taste in her mouth. The idea that even for a second Hercules thought she was like one of those spoiled gold-digging whores was unsettling.
"Phedra wait!" Herc calls out finally catching up to her. "I'm really sorry I-we didn't mean to insult you."
"Well you two sure have a funny way of not insulting people, look just because my brothers and I come from a rich family doesn't mean we're spoiled greedy people like Adonis." She said with a glare. "We're not trying to look down on people or be put up on a pedestal!"
Just as she'd finish that statement suddenly they could hear loud music playing followed by girls screaming her brother's names they turned just in time to see mall security carrying them around on a golden throne.
"Those wouldn't happen to be your brothers would they?" Hercules asked nervously not wanting to offend her but what would be the chances that those weren't her brothers.
"I'm going to kill them." She said sharply following after the crowd Hercules following behind.
"I'll take that as a yes." Herc stated from behind her.
"When I get my hands on them…" She whispered under her breathe. I can't believe them, I knew people would be throwing things at us but they don't have to take advantage of them like this! "Pyrros, Pontius!" She yelled when she made it to the front having had to push her way through their new fan club.
"Listen girl, I know you want your one on one time with them but you have to wait in line like everyone else." A security guard yelled.
"First off eww! Ok I am not with the fan club I'm their sister and I'd like to speak to them right now!" She explained irritated and disgusted by this guard.
"Ha a likely story girl! If you're really their sister prove it!" The guard yelled smirking down at her.
"Pyrros Aeton and Pontius Aineas Hardy! Get down here right now!" Phedra yelled in a dangerous tone, not even five seconds later her brothers were there happily greeting their sister like it was no big deal.
"Hey Phedra! Did you enjoy your shopping sister dear?" Pyrros says kind of nervously knowing that she was going to be mad.
"You will excuse us won't you?" Phedra said smirking at the now pale faced guard.
"Yes, of course sorry." The guard stutters walking away.
"What the hell you two?!" She yelled whispered to her brothers. "You guys are going overboard there is no way we could afford all this?!"
"Didn't need to it was given to us." Pontius explains plainly.
"What?" She questioned harshly this was just unbelievable. "I don't believe you."
"It's true! Get this the head of the mall security gave us these guards because he was worried about our safety so he gave us guards that he specially trained." Pyrros begins to explain.
"Funny story he also wants to start a guard training academy which he hopes that someone will invest in after seeing how great his guards work." Pontius finished.
"The throne?" She questioned again not believing that it could possibly be that easy. "Does security just have a stash of them lying around?"
"Surprisingly, there is a master craftsmen who is hoping to start making ah furniture for some new clients and thought that people in Africa might take an interest." Pyrros explains again.
"The women?" Was Phedra's final question arms still crossed with disappointment.
The two brothers looked at each other and shrugged. "We're good-looking." They both stated.
"And they think you're rich." She finished for them sighing and shaking her head. "Shut it down we're gonna go!"
"But?" They both said again at the same time.
"We've been here long enough, so I'm going to wait for you guys outside." She ordered turning to walk away again.
"Wait we aren't leaving!" Pyrros said calling after his sister.
"Yes we are unless you want me to go over to your fan club and tell them every embarrassing secret you have?!" She threated.
"You wouldn't dare?" Pontius says darkly.
"Should I start with your teddy bear?" She answered back smirking at them knowing they wouldn't risk it. "You've got 10 minutes."
"15!" Pyrros tries to argue.
"10 and every minute after that I don't see you will be one more secret reveal." She threaten glaring back at them.
"Deal." Pontius says after a while with gritted teeth, and with that Phedra walked away from them heading to where Hercules was waiting.
"Hey is everything ok?" He asked as they walked away from the scene since he could tell that she was still kind of upset.
"Yeah those senseless brothers of mine are going to meet me outside in ten minutes." She explained. "You'd think that since we're triplets they'd have some sense like I do but nooo!"
"You guys are triplets that's pretty cool." Herc said. "Honestly I don't think I've ever met triplets before."
"It is pretty cool…sometimes anyway." Phedra said with a sighed once they got outside.
"There you are Kid!" Phil shouted having been waiting outside for Hercules with the weights also with Pegasus and their cart. "Would you load these things already?!"
"No problem Phil!" Herc said not only happy to help but secretly hoping to impress Phedra with his godly strength once she saw how easy it was for him to pick up all those weights at once.
"Oh wow!" She said in amazement, which brought a smile to Herc's face.
"Yeah, I know I'm really strong." Hercules says laughing sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck.
"Yeah I know whatever." Phedra said dismissing his strength. "You have a flying horse!"
"Oh, yeah that's Pegasus." Herc tells her kind of disappointed that she was more impressed with Pegasus than with him.
"Hi Pegasus." She said happily walking up to him. "You know you're the most gorgeous horse I've ever seen!" She tells him, he points one of his hooves at himself as if to ask really me? "Yes you!" He then waves his hove and makes a sound as if to say stop it. "You stop it you're too gorgeous." She squeal as he let me pet his mane.
"Wow I've never seen Pegasus take to someone so quickly." Hercules says in shock.
"Really?" Phedra asked kind of surprised.
"I mean it's not like he's unfriendly or anything it just takes him a while to get use to new people." Hercules explained walking closer to them and smiling down at her. "You must be really special."
"Thanks." She said looking down and blushing at his words.
"So ahem," Herc begins with a nervous cough. "When can I see you again?" He asked in a hopefully voice.
That question brought her back to reality though, the truth was she might never see him again at least not here anyway this was just some weird dream she and her brothers were having. "I don't really know." Phedra answered sadly. "I'm not even supposed to be here-I mean my brothers and I will have to get traveling again soon."
"Oh, that's too bad I really wanted…to spend more time with you." Hercules says now equally as sad, he'd be even sadder if he found out that she wasn't even staying in this world let alone this city.
"Yeah." Phedra said trying to shake off the sadness that was now hanging in the air now. "It was really nice meeting you though." It really was even though it's just a dream it's still pretty cool. She moved to shake his hand but instead he kissed it causing her to blush.
"It was really nice meeting you Phedra." Herc said with a dreamy look on his face. "Promise you won't find another guy to bump into? On your travels?"
"Promise." She said confidently knowing that she wouldn't ever met anyone else that would top this. "Good bye." Phedra stated walking away after seeing her brothers waiting outside the mall for her.
"Bye." Hercules says softly watching her as he hopped onto Pegasus's back to start heading back home. When the group got far enough away from the mall Pegasus let out a noise that he knew his friend would understand. "I know buddy I hope I see her again too."
Meanwhile the triplets were walking away from the mall in the opposite direction. The boys were still kind of mad that Phedra was making them leave before they were ready to.
"I don't even see why we couldn't stay longer? You were hanging out with Hercules anyway." Pyrros who already had a quick temper was even more upset about having to leave.
"Yeah, Phedra you know it's not every day we get people catering to us in every way." Pontius added on they were so busy arguing that they didn't notice the hole on the ground that they were walking towards.
"Please you guys are just mad because I wouldn't let you take-" Phedra never got to finish her sentence because she and her brothers had fallen through the hole they hadn't notice and landed back in their living room.
"Guess the dream is over now." Pontius states being the first to stand up.
"But then why are we still in our togas?" Phedra asked clearly confused.
"Because it wasn't a dream." A new male voice stated from behind them. They turned around to see a strange handsome man behind them he gave off the demeanor of someone dark yet familiar. "I sent you there for the time being."
"Who are you?" Pyrros asked forcefully getting protective. "How did you get inside here?"
"Follow up question how did YOU send us there?" Pontius asked also getting protective himself.
"Well I guess the best way to explain is that I was able to send you there because I'm a god." The strange man explained with a smirk.
"WHAT?" The triplets yelled at the same time.
"Well I'm Hades actually if we really need to get into it." The man further explained still smirking at them.
"WHAT?" The triplets yelled again.
"Did I mention I'm also your father?" The man ah Hades finished saying still smirking at them.
"WHAT?!" The triplets yelled again.
