Chapter 7

"Psst! Athena," someone whispered.

*Creak. Creak. Creak.*

"Athena!" someone said before they were kicked by a sleeping bag.

"Hmm!" Athena moaned. She was wondering why someone was trying to wake up. "Come on its Saturday!" She was moaning. She thought Apollo was waking her up for work.

'Wouldn't he be using his Chords of Steel by now?' she thought. Then she remembered the sleepover and shot up like a bullet ramming her head into Juniper's.

"OUCH!" they said simultaneously. The other girls giggled. Well except Jinxie who was a little groggy.

"Trucy can I have some cocoa?" she complained.

"No you had enough caffeine!" Trucy scolded. "You can have some juice though." Jinxie moaned.

"So what time is it?" Athena said. Trucy looked at her cell phone.

"11," she said disappointed. Athena groaned. She forgot how late people sleep during sleepovers.

"I though the point was not to sleep," Athena said.

"Well one person accomplished that," Robin said pointing to Jinxie. "All that caffeine did a number on her." Athena nodded. The girls cleaned up the playroom and went to the main hall.

"Well if you slept in any later," Maya said. "I would have thought you would miss out on breakfast before we had to leave for the train." She laughed.

"So what is for breakfast Ma'am?" Juniper asked.

"Bacon, Pancakes, Bagels," Maya said. "Eggs that sort of thing." The girls smiled as they ate breakfast.

"I jut love bacon," Myriam said. Everyone nodded at that.

"I hate to bring the mood down but when is the train leaving?" Trucy said.

"Unfortunately it's in about an hour and a half," Maya said.

"NOOO!" Widget said as the girls groaned. Once breakfast was over they went back to the Side room to get changed and finish packing. Well all but Pearl.

And with that the sleepover was over and within 3 hours they were back in the city's train station. The girls' parents were there waiting along with Phoenix and Apollo.

"How was it?" Phoenix asked. Athena and Trucy jumped up and down.

"It was the best!" they shouted. Juniper nodded.

"Do you mind if Juniper stays for a while?' Athena asked. Phoenix agreed to let Juniper stay. The girls gathered together for the good-byes.

"That was the best sleepover," Jinxie said. "Even if it was my first time." She looked genuinely happy.

"Yeah!" Robin said. "WE MUST DO IT AGAIN! But in all seriousness it was fun! I hope we have another one S-O-O-N!"

"You get a 4/5," Myriam said. "But thanks for inviting me."

"I hope to see you again soon," Pearl said. And the separated smiling. Back at the office Athena sighed.

"That was a blast!" she said. "Thanks Trucy!" Trucy bowed.

"You're welcome!" Juniper went over to Apollo.

"Here I made these for you," she said giving Apollo some cookies. Apollo smiled and ate one.

"Pretty good," Apollo said. "You can tell me the details tomorrow though you guys look worn out."

"That's right!" Athena said. "We forgot about the mystery we swore to solve!" Juniper and Trucy shot back up from the couch.

"What mystery?" Apollo asked. Athena and Trucy stared at him with big grins. Juniper just blushed. "Um you're scaring me!"

"We just wanted to know why you were moody all week," Athena said putting her hands by her ear. Apollo blinked.

"Well you did force me to do a lot of work for something I wasn't even going to," he chucked. Athena could tell he was lying.

"No it was definitely the sleepover!" she giggled. Apollo looked embarrassed. "Apollo you had sleepovers before right!?"

"I lived in an orphanage remember," he said making one of his faces. "Everyday was a sleepover!" The girls looked at each other.

"In other words not good sleepovers for Polly," Trucy concluded. Apollo remained silent flushing.

"Look I really don't want to talk about-" Trucy knocked him out.

…..

"Where am I?" Apollo said waking up in a dark room. He turned on a light. His eyes widened. Simon Blackquill, Hugh O'Conner, and Klavier Gavin were there. And sleeping bags were on the floor.

"Where the hell are we?" Simon said. Klavier and Hugh shrugged.

"Herr Forehead you got any ideas?" Apollo's eyes widened. He ran to the door.

"NO! ATHENA! TRUCY! LET ME OUT OF HERE!" he screamed banging on the door.

Outside Athena and Trucy were swinging a key around laughing manically.

"Everyone deserves a slumber party!" Trucy whispered. "Even if it is by force!" Athena nodded as they continued laughing.
