Ana's POV continued
We woke up early the next morning, but everyone was still tired from getting no sleep after hearing the depressing rumor. There was much whispering in groups of our gang. Manny, Chris, Lauren, Davido, and Tony stayed amongst themselves as Maria, Sam, Elida and I talked with each other. Nico, Percy, and Annabeth help train the campers, but are still with our group. We planned all together on long nights and practiced during the evenings while the campers were eating and singing songs at the campfire.
"So, what is the objective of the mission?" I ask, being the leader of the quest and making sure everyone knew what they were doing.
"We're breaking into Melinoe's condo in the Underworld and looking at her calendar," Manny explains, taking a sip of cherry limeade. I nod, giving him a congratulating look. He smiles and fist bumps the unsuspecting Davido and hits him in the back of the head.
"Hey!" Manny begins laughing his head off while Davido rubs his head.
"Okay, thank you Manny for the answer and entertainment…" I say.
"Anytime!" he smiles, kicking his feet on the table.
"Off the table…" Maria growls. Manny looses his smile and, afraid, removes his feet.
"So, next matter of discussion. Who's going to break in with me?" I ask. People look around at each other, deciding amongst themselves. A few hands shoot up. Tony, Elida, Maria, Nico, and Davido. Plus me, equals six altogether. "Is everyone okay with this? Elida, Maria, Tony, Davido, Nico, and me going?" I ask murmured yeses are spoken in the room and I nod and begin to write down the names.
"Um, Lady Ana? What are we going to do after we get the schedule?" Lauren asks.
"We will open our schedule to fit theirs and hopefully get Bridgette back." I respond, beginning to pack up my papers in my folder, an advantage to being a Daughter of Athena; very organized.
"Okay…Be careful guys, okay?" she comments. We all nod. I quickly turn to Nico.
"Call your dad; let him know we're coming in two days. He'll gladly let us into the Underworld since he's against Melinoe." Nico nods and runs off to Iris Message.
"Those going, train hard tomorrow! We want to be fit and ready for this quest!" I disperse the group and we huddle in the Big House.
We get into sleeping bags and talk amongst ourselves.
"It's going to be weirder once we get Bridgette back…" Maria says.
"How do you know we'll even get her back in the first place? What if we fail? What is she or one of us dies in the process?" Tony yells. I'm taken back by his shouting.
"Tony? What's wrong?" I ask. He sighs and shakes his head. I groan.
"This won't work if someone, in general, has a grudge or is angry or sad…" Nico says.
"I know it's just the thought of not getting her back is killing me…" I look at him.
"Was she a good friend?" I ask. He nodded.
"To me she was more than a friend…" he said. Manny and Lauren walks in the room.
"Ooh! Someone's got a crush!" Manny says. Tony immediately stands and points his sword at Manny's neck.
"Whoa man…" Manny gulps. Tony doesn't move at all and stays put at Manny's throat.
"Déjà vu…except Percy was pointing the sword at my throat…" Nico comments.
"Tony, stand down…" I command. Slowly but surely, he lowers his sword.
"I'm sorry, but that's out of line…" Tony glares at Manny.
"So you do have a crush on her…" Manny continues.
"Manny, stop it!" Elida say. Manny looks at Elida's stern face that looks like she's possessed and shuts up. He even backed up behind Lauren.
"I did, and somewhat still do…" Tony says quietly.
"What about your wife!" Sam asks. Tony sighs and looks down.
"They got a divorce three weeks ago, just after the party. She couldn't take the news of the Gods really existing…" Davido pipes in. Tony nods.
"Oh, I'm so sorry…" Mary says and sits down next to him. He nods.
"Okay…let's get off the subject…" I say. Everyone agrees.
"Oh Unicorn Terds!" Elida shouts.
"Dragon Bogies!" Sam says too.
"Snape, Snape, Severus Snape…" Maria says.
"DUMBLEDOR!" Manny yells.'
"Hey look! I found out what that mysterious ticking noise is! It's a pipe bomb!" Tony yells.
There is some cheering in the groups.
"Okay, Tony. Truth or Dare?" Manny asks.
"Dare…I'm never choosing truth with you…" Tony says.
"I dare you to sing red solo cup… in five minutes" Manny whispers. Tony nods.
"I'm doing it in a couple minutes. Okay, Ana. Truth or Dare?"
"Um, Dare…"
"I dare you to go run a fetch us Diet cokes."
"Why run?" I materialize two twenty-four packs of Diet Coke. Everyone whoops and cheers, the traditional party is coming into play again, like old times. "Elida! Truth or Dare?"
"Dare!"
"Go shoot magical charmed arrows over the Ares cabin that makes them weak and high-pitched and say on a note that Aaron did it!" Elida smiles at the dare. She grabs an arrow and does a little spell on the arrow. She writes with a typewriter, so no one recognizes her handwriting, and writes 'A Gift from Aaron, Son of Apollo!'. She shoots the arrow and it flies through the door screen. We hear distant high-pitch screams and a lot a tripping and falling. We are cracking up no.
"RED SOLO CUP! I FILL YOU UP! LET'S HAVE A PARTY! LET'S HAVE A PARTY!" Tony sings. Manny is laughing and so are we. His voice is so low that it makes it funny (A/N True story, there's a kid in our class name Anthony and he was dared by a kid named Manuel (Manny in short) to sing Red Solo Cup on our Valentine's Day party! :) You had to be there…) .
After some extra funny dares, we go to sleep.
Thus ending a successful day.
Hiya! Isn't my life weird where my classmates sing Red Solo Cup? Hehe laughed my ass off!
Hope you liked this and Tony more important as a character, along with Davido, both really good friends. Also, technically Tony and I are not Bf and Gf not, well almost… :)
