Chapter 4
Rangers of Apollo, Month 6
Austin's POV
The first week of Month 6 wasn't exactly our best month. For example, this morning, the cheetahs got hyper because apparently, a certain SOMEONE (a.k.a. Johnny)gave them 50 pounds of chocolate and let each of them into our tents. I still have scratch marks on me. And to make matters worse, his best buddy Mikey Hype and him grabbed water guns filled with lemonade and sprayed them at us when we came out. If you think Johnny's a prankster, then Mikey's like a prank GOD.
Mikey looks kinda like Johnny, both have short, blonde, and spiky hair, and like Mikey's last name is similarly spelled 'Hyper'. Freaky how it's like them. *shudder* Anyway, after we healed ourselves, (remember! Apollo taught us how to heal easy injuries!) we hit the archery range, where our awesome golden glowing bows and arrows were waiting for us.
As we shot targets Apollo (with his sunglasses, beach shorts, and a white t shirt with a picture of the sun with his face on it) walked around us, nodding and grinning, saying things like, "Thaaaaaaaaaaat's the way to do it Hypes!" (Hypes= Apollo's nickname for Mikey) and "Right on Austin!" It sure did keep our moods cheery. After spending the morning doing that, we took a lunch break, and we had a buffet meal. Delicio!
Of course, our mood got ruined when we got a Iris Message from Lady Artemis, and her lieutenant Thalia looks freaky.
We've all heard warnings from Apollo about the hunters' temper so I guess we kinda have to be careful.
I thought that it was going to be an easy win for us at the tournament cuz we thought girls can't fight. But those hunters looked pretty terrifying. I zoned out while Lady Artemis and Apollo talked until I heard a button press, and then a tent exploded.
We all snapped our heads to the two mine devils, while Mikey and Johnny frantically pointed and blamed each other. I sighed and cringed as us Rangers heard the Hunters snickering while Artemis rolled her eyes. She waved a hand over the message and soon shimmered away.
Yup. This is going to be a REAAAAAAALLY long 6 months. Apollo sighed and told us to head over to the training grounds, while desperately trying to pull Mikey and Johnny apart. I swear, whenever they fight it's like a bomb went off. Well this time, one really DID blow up but that's not the point!
So we trudged over to the training grounds and grouped off into pairs, sparring a bit with some swords.
Lucas and the new kid, Max, were sparring until they got into an argument and started wrestling and the Eric roared that he couldn't concentrate and joined the fight. I think we need to reconsider participating in the tournament. *Sigh* Help me.
With the hunters…
Thalia's POV
I groaned as I watched the wolves rip apart the beef jerky. They've had this strange addiction to it ever since Becca gave them a piece. The poor souls, eating hardened meat.
Anyway, I feel a whole lot better than before. Thanks to Phoebe. Wonder what she's up to right now. Oh well, might as well take down some targets.
I shot arrow after arrow, hitting the dummies either in the head or heart. Take that ya stupid dummies! I was so busy firing arrows that I didn't notice a scream of surprise after I fired another arrow.
I cocked my head and gasped when I saw that I nearly hit the new girl, Hunter. "I'm so so so so SORRY! I didn't see you there!" Hunter just grinned put up a thumbs up sign. I sighed in relief and headed over to my tent, wanting to get some shut eye.
Of course, when I saw the party balloons and cake, I was not prepared at all.
"SURPRISE!" The girls screamed and blew up confetti. You gotta be kidding me. "Um…whose birthday is it?" I asked, feeling very confused.
"Oh, it's no one's birthday silly! Well, actually, it might some one's birthday in the world but we don't know them so it doesn't really matter and-" Becca was cut off by Phoebe who said, "We just wanted to have this party for you to cheer up!"
I grinned. "Well, in that case…" I smirked. "THE CAKE IS MINE!" I lunged for the cake, snatching a fork as I did my amazing jump but frowned at the sea of other girls trying to eat the cake too. Way to go break my happy spirit.
Anna was already eating a plate of cake when Becca tripped and her plate of cake smashed right into Anna face. I winced, prepared for the yelling, but to my absolute surprise, Anna started laughing.
Soon, Becca giggled, and the rest of us started laughing too, until we heard a SQUISH and saw Becca covered in cake. This could only mean one thing.
"CAKE FIGHT!"
Everyone started throwing cake, myself being complety covered in frosting. We shrieked with laughter until Alica threw cake at the door right when Lady Artemis came in.
"Oh. My. Gosh. She just hit Lady Artemis in the face with cake!" Becca squeaked as she hid behind Anna. We all tensed, waiting for Lady Artemis' reaction, and our jaws dropped when she cracked a grin.
"If it's a cake fight you want, it's a cake fight you'll GET!" She cackled and started throwing cake at us with unnatural speed. We shrieked and started running all over the place, trying to get away from the mini meteors.
After one hour, we all piled up in a heap on the floor, still giggling at the sight of Lady Artemis with cake all over. Hey, it's not every day you see a goddess covered in cake from head to toe.
"Well, this calls for an explanation. Anyone care to explain?" Lady Artemis asked. Becca smiled awkwardly and just let out a nervous giggle. "Oh well, just clean this mess up, all of you! We still have to train! Only 6 months left!" With that she snapped her fingers and she clean.
She left the tent and we all looked at Becca, just grinned. I then looked over to where Phoebe, Alica, Chloe, and Rose were standing and grinned wider. I then got up, walked over to Anna, stuck out my hand and said, "Friends?" She hesitated, then took my hand and smiled. "Friends."
"HEY GUYS! I FINISHED CLEANIG UP EVERYTHING!" Becca yelled and came out of the now spotless tent. "How in the world did you do that?" I asked, not seeing how that was possible. "MAGIC!" She squealed and started skipping around. "Oh sure, and she couldn't do that when the cheese bomb exploded in my tent! Oh sure, clean up the cake mess. But noooooo, you don't clean up the cheese mess. What big difference is there? Chesse. Cake. Cheese. Cake." Alica muttered as she kicked a rock.
We stared at her. "WHAT?! Cheese and cake! Not much different!" She defended. We burst out laughing and rolled on the floor, clutching our stomachs. Things were lookin up for me.
That is, untile Becca yelled, "I CALL FISRT SHOWER!" and dashed off. Oh no.
You could hear the thundering of our feet as we stampeded toward the stalls, wanting to get the hot water first.
Oh, the fun we have.
YAY! THIS CHAPPIE IS DONE! Keep a lookout for the next chapter! I promise you it will be up by the end of February! :D
