This is my newest story, but one I've been planning for a while. Expect 4 OC's, and it ties into my other stories, particularly "Of History and Painful memories."
Archie sat, barely able to contain his laughter as watched the girl beside him fidget incessantly, clearly being driven insane by the prolonged inactivity enforced by the cramped airplane seats.
"You know Atlanta, maybe you should go to sleep. After all, this is a 5 hour flight. Fidgeting incessantly isn't gonna make it any shorter." His voice was calm, soothing. Of course, what he was really hoping was that she would cuddle up to him. It wasn't all that likely to happen, but hey, a guy can dream right?
Unfortunately, Atlanta, made irritable by the excessive delays between flights, and distinct lack of leg room, snapped at him. "Oh, shut up and look out of the window! We're flying over millions of gallons of water. Deep, wet, blue, water."
Archie's face fell, partly at the sudden change in conversation direction, but mostly at the thought of all that water. A dull thunk echoed through his mind, the sound of a girls head hitting the deck of a boat, reverberating throughout his memory. Sarah. He thought, then shook his head, to try and dispel the memory that had, and always would, haunt him, but to no avail. As always, only time would rid him of the pain.

With Cronus sent through a timelocked portal 2 months into the future, it seemed as good time as any to go on holiday. To this end, the Gods gathered the teens, and, in as polite terms as possible, to get lost.
The gods were quite clear in their terms. The teens were to go away for a month and relax. With no Cronus to handle for two months, there would never be a better time to get some serious R'n'R. The gods were more then willing to provide all the funds that the teens needed, as long as said funds weren't abused. As Hermes had put it, "When your spending reaches 6 digits, then we cut you off."
So they had all made plans. Odie was spending some time with Valerie, Neil was going to a modeling shoot/luxury resort in the Bahamas, Herry was getting some time with his Granny, enjoying himself on the farm.
Archie, Atlanta, Jay and Theresa, on the other hand, had all decided to take a trip somewhere abroad together. And since Theresa had family in England, and none of the others had ever been to Britain before, they had decided it would make for an interesting trip.
What do you all think? I know this is short, but it's just the prologue. Please review.
