Dreams and Nightmares
Atlanta got out of her bed and rubbed her head. After she washed her face and got dressed she went down. Theresa was having some hot chocolate and so was Herry. Neil was looking at his mirror and trying to figure out which one of his two side was better, which was taking forever. Odie was checking out some stuff on his computer as usual and Jay was watching some TV.
Atlanta walked toward the fridge and got some milk and poured it to a cup full of cereal. And she sat next to Theresa.
"Good morning Atlanta. You kinda seem a little off. Is everything alright?" asked Theresa.
"No, I'm fine. It's just that I had this weird dream." Atlanta told Theresa.
"What dream? What was it about? Asked Theresa. Just then Archie came down the stairs.
"I was singing stupid nursery rhymes such as 'Pop Goes The Weasel'. And I was complimenting Chiron's tail. Trying to touch it while shouting pwetty ponytail. How whack is that?" explained Atlanta.
"Uh oh! I know that scenario. I hope she doens't remembers the rest of it." Thought Archie. "I'm going out for a walk." Said Archie and went outside.
Archie walked around the lake. Thinking of what happened between him and Atlanta he couldn't even see someone on his way.
A sound like "Ow!" came from across. It was then Archie realized he hit someone by accident. "I'm sorry. Let me help you up." Said Archie.
"No, no. It's all my fault you seemed like you were thinking about something important. I was the one who should look before walking." Said a girl. She had straight long brown hair and a single blue highlight. She really was gorgeous if you come to think of it. "I'm really sorry. Please go on." Said the girl as she got up right away.
Archie didn't bother and went on. The girl looked back and silently said "What a weird boy." As she walked by a young man running on the trail suddenly a snake-like thingy grabbed the man and covered his mouth before he could scream and fastly pulled him to the tree it came from.
When Archie arrived at the Brownstone everyone was in a rush.
"What's going on in here?" asked Archie.
"Hera wants us in the school immediatly." Said Jay.
"And nobody bothered notifying me because?" asked Archie.
"Actually I told Atlanta to call you from your PMR." Said Jay as he ran out the door.
"Great! He tells Atlanta to call me. Even Neil could do it beter. Atleast he would have considered calling." Whined Archie slowly walking towards the truck.
At the school Hera just cut to chase. There were some random attacks all over the city. Few of the witnesses told that they saw a weird looking lion. And Hera naturally wanted the heroes to go check it out.
"Guys. I got a trck an the creature. It's heading to the waterfall." Said Odie.
"Did you just say… waterfall?" gulped Archie.
"Come on let's go!" commanded Jay.
"Man this days keeps getting beter and beter." Said Archie and soured his face.
When they arrived near the waterfall everything was crashed. Trees were laying on the road, the ground had claw prints and everything was broken.
Suddenly they all heard a bird scream. And when they looked up they saw a hidious creature. A Sphinx! A creature with the head of a woman, the body of a lion, wings of an eagle and a snake instead of a tail.
They all got ready to fight. When the Spinx got closer Archie had the first move on it and try to hit it with his whip. But the only thing that it did was making it more annoyed. And the angry it was the bigger it got.
The Spinx dived in to the air and it aimed Jay. Lucky Jay was able to provide it's attack but unfortunately he lead the Sphinx to Atlanta which mad her fall into the water. And it was unsuprisingly Archie who first ran towards the cliff.
The others were also worried but non of them could get their selves out of the Spinx trouble. So eventually Archie jumped into the water to help Atlanta who was unconscious at the moment. He quickly came near her dragged her to shore.
At the moment the Spinx was giving the others a real hard time.
"Wait a minute!" said Jay. "Aren't you spoused to ask us a riddle?"
"Tsss- That was before Cronus found me. Now I'm only a bad luck and destruction demon!" said the Sphinx sweeping the others with it's tail while getting closer to Neil who is trapped between the Sphinx and the rocks (which he doesn't knows yet).
When the Sphinx was almost hit Neil he suddenly got up and hit the Sphinx with his head which made it fall on it's back which gave time to the others to capture it.
Meanwhile Archie came carrying Atlanta. Everyone gathered by them, except Herry who was guarding the Sphinx.
"Is she alright?" asked Theresa.
"Gee, why don't you try asking her." Said Neil implying that Archie doesn't knows the answer.
"Wait, I think she's waking up." Said Jay.
"What's going on?" asked Atlanta as soon as she opened her eyes.
Archie slowly put her down on her feet and Neil opened his mouth. "The birdy what's-it's-name thingy pushed you down the cliff and then we were all like 'Hiyya-ha!' fighting the bird and then Archie jumped in to the water and he was like 'I'm coming Atlanta!' and then I was like 'Take this birdie!' and then the bird fell down."
"And know can someone explaine what happened in English?" said Atlanta.
Theresa and Odie calmly explained what happened. And they all went back to the Brownstone after bringing Hera the Sphinx.
After a long time Atlanta came next to Archie. "Did you really got into water to sav eme?" she asked.
"Well, I was the nearest one to the water and everyone was busy." Said Archie in a modest way.
"Hey, I remember you were the one near me when I was drowning last month and you called someone else to get me out!" whined Neil eavesdropping.
Seeing what's happening there Theresa came in and took Neil away before he says or does something really stupid. Which happened every five minutes.
"Hey! Why did you do that for?" asked Neil.
"You were almost ruining the only chance that Atlanta forgiving Archie!" said Theresa.
"Well I think he didn't do anything wrong. And something like that was that much important do you think that Jay would ever talk to you again?" said Neil.
"Since when do you have an opinion on stuff like that? And he would be talking to me!" said Theresa.
"Whatever. I need my beauty sleep." Said Neil and left.
"Ok." Said Theresa silently Watching Atlanta and Archie having fun together as usual.
