I Do Not Own COTT or any of its characters. I do however own Lily Blackburn, Chelsea Rhodes, Anna Rhodes, Kate Lewis, and anyone else I come up while writing this series.

They were in their final year of high school. They were so close to defeating Cronus. They all had decided if they ever did win, they would still stay. They couldn't leave each other, not then, not ever.

The last few weeks of Odie's life seemed to be unreal. He had always seen those people walking down the hall, holding hands, in their own little worlds. Odie never thought he would be one of them. One of those smiling people who seemed to have something other people didn't. And now, he had it. He had Chelsea. Soon he met her younger sister, Anna and her best friend, Kate Lewis. Odie was becoming a real part of Chelsea's life, but something was nagging at him. Knowing that he couldn't totally let her into his world bothered him. A lot. One night, at the brownstone, he couldn't push the feeling aside. He finally had to ask for advice, something he hated to do. After everyone went to bed, it was just Theresa and him left in the kitchen.

"Hey Ther, can I ask you something?"

"Sure Odie." She replied, "What about?"

"Chelsea."

Theresa's face became serious and worried as she asked, "What's wrong?"

"Well, I feel like I'm not being fair to her. She's bringing me into every part of her life, and I can't bring her into every part of mine."

"But, you can't bring her into that part, because she might get hurt. You're only doing what you're doing to protect her. That's not unfair. That's loving."

"You really think it's alright?"

"Of course, it's for her safety."

"Okay."

Theresa smiled, "Goodnight Odie."

"Goodnight."

******

The next day at school, Odie felt as thought a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders. He walked up behind Chelsea, who was at her locker. He put his hands on her shoulders and ran them down her arms. He stopped at her hands, and intertwined his fingers with hers. (Yes I'm a hopelessly lame romantic.)

"Good morning babe." Chelsea replied by spinning around and kissing him on the lips. Odie smiled at her.

"May I walk you to physics Miss. Rhodes."

"Why yes Mr. Walker, you can."

As Odie and Chelsea walked down the hall, she grabbed his hand and squeezed it tight. People looked at them, and Odie knew they were all thinking the same thing, "How could a guy like that, get a girl like that!" To be honest, he was thinking that himself. As they got to her classroom door, she let go of his hand, gave him a kiss and went inside; Odie then headed off to chemistry.

Herry and Lily had been dating for about one month and 2 weeks, but Herry still hadn't gotten the courage to kiss her yet. He wanted it to be special, but he just didn't know how. Lily was one of those crazy, fun-loving girls and he didn't think she would like the "typical" romantic stuff. That morning she came running up to him, her pink knit bag slug over her shoulder. She was wearing a white Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles T-shirt (shout out to Marine); her sandy blonde hair was in one braid down her back. She ran up to him and through her arms around him.

"Good morning Hercules." She said with a wink.

This took Herry aback, because he had never told Lily about his ancestry. Suddenly he realized she was just commenting on his strength. He smiled.

"Good morning gorgeous." He took her by the hand, and they began to walk together.

"Hey, Herry, I've been meaning to ask you something."

"Sure babe." He said, "Shoot."

"Where do you go, when you don't answer your phone, and disappear?"

"I don't disappear." He stated, almost a little defensively. She let go of his hand, and stood in front of him.

"I'm not moving 'til you tell me."

"Oh really?" Herry said, and then he picked her up and moved her to the side.

"Fine then." She said, moving in front of him again, "I'll just keep moving back."

"If you really must know." He said, moving her to the side again, "I go and visit my Gran." Herry was surprised at his own quick thinking and made a mental note of this occasion.

"Why would you hide that from me?"

"Cause it's embarrassing."

"Nu-uh, it's the sweetest, most adorable thing I've ever heard." She said, pinching his cheek.

"Hey! Stop that!"

"Fine, deprive me." She said, rolling her eyes.

"Have fun in music."

"Oh I shall." She said, kissing him on the cheek and turning down a different hallway.

That night at the brownstone, everyone was pretty mellow. It was Friday night, and everyone was beat. Herry was asking Theresa and Atlanta about how he could go about kissing Lily for the first time. They both had their most crazy, insanely romantic ideas.

"Jesus, the guy is kissing her, not proposing." Archie said as he walked in. Atlanta gave him a look and he blushed, "I mean, those are all lovely ideas." Atlanta nodded her head, and giggled. Archie scooped her up and threw her over his shoulder.

"Hey! Arch! Put me down!"

"Nah, this is too much fun." He wandered into the kitchen, with Atlanta, literally, in tow.

Theresa stood up, "Herry, you can't really plan it, when the moment is right, you'll know."

Herry stood up, grabbed his keys, and began to head out the door.

"Where the hell are you going at 11:00 at night?" Neil yelled after him.

"The moments just right." Was all Herry answered with.

******

As Herry pulled up to Lily's he looked at the clock, 11:07. He had sped there. He had his romantic tactic in his mind and he needed to get there. He had made good time. He took out his phone and dialed.

"Hello?"

"Hey Tyler? Why are you answering your sister's phone?"

"Cause it's in the kitchen, and so am I."

"Well could you go get her?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Cause I don't feel like it."

"TYLER"

"Alright, alright, I'm going." This was followed by a loud yell of, "LILY come get your stupid phone!!"

A few seconds later he heard, "Thanks twerp."

And then a "Hello?"

"Hey, come out front."

"Herry? Is everything alright?"

"Yes, but come out, now."

Soon Lily appeared outside her house. She walked down the walkway and Herry met her half way.

"Herry, what? Why?"

Herry looked at his watch, it read 11:11, she showed it to her, "Make a wish." He leaned forward and kissed her, when they finally broke apart, his watch said, 11:12. Lily looked dumbfounded.

"Now that." She said, "I have no problem with. But um, it's kinda late, and my family's kinda watching us." Herry looked up, she was right. Her Mother, Father, younger brother Tyler and older sister Jenna were all staring. She kissed him again, "Goodnight my Hercules." And he thought to himself, "You have no idea." But simply said, "Goodnight my goddess."

He watched her go back to the door, she turned around and waved before re-entering her house.

As Herry drove back to the brownstone, he had a warm, bubbly feeling consuming him. He knew that moment had been right.

Cronus sat in his lair with a satisfied smile on his face. "This is perfect. Do you know why it is perfect Egnon?'

The giant shook his head; he was very confused, although granted that didn't take much.

"Because Egnon, the heroes care. About mortals."

Egnon was still confused.

"Oh for god's sake. Egnon are you really that thick?"

The giant's confused look remained.

"Apparently you are. This is perfect because these two girls, called Chelsea and Lily, know nothing of the prophecy. And unlike Theresa and Atlanta, they are not fighters. And the heroes, particularly Odie and Herry, would go to the ends of the earth to rescue them. And that's exactly what I'm planning on making them do."

With a laugh, Cronus went off, happier than he had ever been in millennia.
