Happy memorial day! Thanks to everyone who expressed concerned and wished me a speedy recovery (: You guys are awesome! Also, ten points to sockserz who got my Supernatural reference :P A word to the wise, DO NOT watch that show unless you are prepared to be emotionally scarred. Especially after that horrific season finale. I was not ready for that :'(. At all.
Anyways! Here is the next chapter, I'm trying to update a little quicker for all of you and I have a lot of free time on my hands now, considering I'm just lying here looking at ceiling tiles. Hope you all enjoy (:
Chapter Nine: Plans Suck and I say the 'S' Word
When Triton got back to cabin three Percy was already asleep. The place was a mess, obviously used as a buffer for the demigod's anger. Trash and debris hung around as Percy himself laid in tangled mess of blankets that he had successfully stripped of other empty beds. Sighing, the god snapped his fingers and nodded when the place magically shifted itself back into a tidy order. He debated momentarily on whether or not he should let his brother continue sleeping, but figured if he didn't apologize now, he never would.
"Perseus." He whispered, shaking his shoulder. "Wake up."
"Hm?" came a small groan "We late?"
"No." Triton said, sitting next to him as he rubbed his eyes and looked up tiredly at him. "I need to talk to you about earlier." He told him and Percy frowned as he propped himself up on his elbow, his tussled hair and pouting expression making him look ten years younger.
"Do we have to?" he asked flatly and Triton snorted with a roll of his eyes.
"Yes we have to." He chuckled and Percy looked at him expectantly. "I… May have overreacted earlier." he started with a small cringe at how awkward this felt "And…Am very…Sorry."
Gods, that was hard.
"I'm sorry…What?" Percy asked, though a small smile was beginning to form on the brat's face.
"I'm not going to say it again." The god replied solemnly.
"But I really didn't hear you! Did you say you worry? Over what?"
"I'm sorry okay?"
"Can I record that? Just one more time-"
"Perseus." Triton glared and the other boy laughed, fully sitting up now as he yawned and gave the god a goofy grin.
"Alright, alright. For the record I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have freaked back at you. I will try to…Think things through a little more I guess." He shrugged and Triton scoffed. As if that was ever going to happen.
"How in Hades did you make it this far?" he asked, though there may or may not have been a touch of fondness in his voice.
"It's a long story." Percy shrugged "Involving crazy teachers, satyrs, traitors, guinea pigs, red headed oracles, memory loss, Roman gods, Greek gods, Pegasus, UPS, mazes, and a few other thousand things." He finished up, looking deep in thought.
"Guinea pigs?" Triton asked incredulously. "You're kidding, right?"
"No way! Circe." He said in a way of explanation and Triton tilted his head back to laugh.
"You got turned into one?" he gasped in between fits of laughter "Oh…My…Gods…"
"Yeah, laugh it up." Percy scowled at him "At least I'm not the father to Scylla!" he shot back with pride he remembered the story and Triton paused before scowling and throwing a pillow at him.
"That is a rumor!" he growled "I definitely did not have a hand in making that! Phorcys and Ceto were her parents, but Aphrodite got jealous and turned her into a monster. Lamia and I just so happened to be having…An affair I guess you'd say and Aphrodite wanted to expose it, so when she turned Scylla into a monster, she said she was our kid." He explained, still feeling a bit sore at the memory.
"Huh. That sucks." Percy frowned though there was still a bit of light teasing in his eyes "Who's Lamia?"
"She was a girl I liked." Triton shrugged and at Percy's curious eyes, sighed "She's with Hades now. Zeus had made her his mistress and Hera didn't really like that, so she cursed her into a child eating demon."
"The goddess of motherhood did that? I mean, I don't like Hera but…"
"Watch how you speak." Triton chastised half-heartedly "Though it was quite low. Envy does strange things to people…Anyways, I knew she wouldn't have wanted to live her life as monster so I killed her." He finished, trying not to think about the painful memory.
"I'm sorry." Percy apologized quietly, all traces of amusement gone and he gave him a once over before nodding. "Do you have any immortal kids now?" he asked curiously "Cause I'm not going to lie, every time I hear your name, I think of the little mermaid."
"By Gods!" Triton groaned "Olympus will never let that go." He sighed "I do not have a little redheaded daughter by the name of Ariel somewhere, nor do I have six other daughters with 'A' names and I most certainly did not marry Athena!"
"I had wondered what she was doing in there… So did you and her have a thing going on or…?"
"Shut up. I practically raised her." Triton snorted and laughed as Percy's jaw dropped.
"What!? You… I'm confused." He said, looking utterly bewildered and Triton couldn't help but smile at his reaction. It was a weird thing to think Athena was younger than him by that much. Moving so that his pillow was behind his back, Triton leaned back, knowing that this was going to require a bit of explanation. A child of Poseidon raising Athena? His enemy? Of course it sounded strange.
"I was born before her. We're cousins technically, but when she was younger she would always go off to the beach to explore and somehow always got herself almost killed. Kind of like you. I kept her safe and showed her how to defend herself one time, and for the rest of her childhood she stuck to me like glue. Then, well...We had a falling out for awhile." He finished and watched as the words began to register.
"That's so weird." He finally decided "All of you gods are just…Weird."
"Don't think too hard on mythology. It isn't one hundred percent right and…It can be disturbing to think about."
"Can you answer just…One question for me though. Areion, the first stallion? He mentioned something about Demeter…?"
"Don't think about it." Triton said immediately "When it comes to any myths about our father, just don't think about it. He hasn't always made the wisest decisions." Triton sighed "Out of all his children, only two…Well, maybe three children have been both his and his wife's."
"You have brothers?"
"Two full-blooded sisters. Well, at least one. Benthesikyme and we don't know about Rhode. She might have been Halia's daughter, but mother won't tell us. I suspect she was, but Mom just grown so fond of her, she couldn't bear to hate her so she claimed her as her own."
"Huh." Percy said thoughtfully ."Benes- I can't say that." He shook his head "What are they like?"
"I guess you'll have to see when you go down there yourself." Triton told him, glancing down at the time. "Alright, you got your twenty questions, but know that tomorrow you have to tell me about all your quests. Guinea pigs and all." He grinned and Percy stared, his mouth slightly dropping for a moment before shaking his head.
"Fine." He sighed with exasperation and laid back down. "Whatever."
"Whatever." He said back, trying not to laugh. Percy stared at the ceiling for a couple minutes before furrowing his eyebrows and then glancing up at him as if desperately wanting to ask something.
"Triton? What was the fallout Athena and you had?" he asked, though by his tone, Triton could tell he was beginning to remember the story. His shoulders slumped as he leaned back and twisted his hand to the mist made a picture of a beautiful little girl, maybe about fourteen years old with sea green eyes and fire red hair.
"Her name was Pallas." he said quietly "I know that Athena hadn't meant to kill her, but..." his voice trailed off "She made the Palladium afterwards in her honor to show her regret. I was furious though. Pallas was one of my only immortal children, and she had died at the hand of someone I had raised. Athena only survived because Zeus saw what was going on and shielded her. I wasn't there... I didn't know..." he let his voice close off again, glancing at the window with an incredible amount of melancholy.
"You forgave Athena?" Percy asked quietly and Triton nodded.
"They had been sparring. It was an accident that was out of hand and Athena was truly devastated. I suppose she didn't know her own power at the time. When I had my half-blooded children, she protected them the best she could. Half-bloods of mine never live very long though." he grimaced and Percy swallowed, his eyes asking a thousand different questions. One glance, and Triton seemed to understand all he wanted to know. "I've had thirty-three half-blood children." he shrugged and Percy looked mildly impressed.
"Really?" he asked "In the millennium you've been here, only thirty-three?"
"Yes." he chuckled "So small in comparison to the thousands my Uncles and father has had. You would think because I didn't have a wife, I would have more affairs." he scoffed "I guess father likes to keep me busy with other things."
"It would be pretty cool to have my niece of nephew here." Percy mused "You've got to tell me if you ever have thirty-four."
"I doubt any child of mine would make it into this camp. The rest never did." Triton frowned "This is the first time I've been here you know."
"What? Why wouldn't...?" Percy furrowed his eyebrows, not wanting to offend him by pointing out he was a minor god and that his children wouldn't have a powerful scent. Bitterly, Triton crushed a shell that had been on the wall in his hand.
"Aphrodite." he grumbled "It's an old curse now, but still there. I had another daughter, Triteia. She lived the longest out of my children only because Ares fell in love with her. She even gave him a son. Aphrodite got jealous." he shrugged "She made it so all my children were doomed to never have safety or refuge."
There was a long pause. Triton could feel the angry waves coming off of his brother, but decided not to comment on them, instead thinking about his children.
Triton had long preferred to keep himself emotionally distant from people. Obviously his relationships with anyone had never ended well. Lovers, his children, family members... They all ended in some kind of tragedy. It was so much easier to just remain distant. As he felt his eyes close and allowed himself to dream, Triton wondered vaguely how much longer he'd be able to keep that up.
That night, Triton's dream had started off stranger than usual.
His first sensation was a sinking feeling. The darkness around him was melting into something lighter, the floors shimmering into marble and walls growing around him as forms started to crochet their way into existence. It only took the god about five seconds to realize where he was.
Olympus. The Throne Room to be exact as the gods were all lined up, looking tired and worn. It was obvious that this couldn't have been in current times, seeing as everyone was dressed in battle armor looking filthy from battle. In front of his family stood a handful of demigods, looking even dirtier and in worse shape than the gods. Triton recognized Jason Grace standing in front, a large gash on the left side of his face as he gripped firmly onto Leo's arm for support, who was soberly helping him stand.
Outside all of the beings on the mountain were gathering, looking fascinated by group of heroes that stood before them. Nymphs and satyrs scurried around the pillars all trying to peer and gain a better look. From behind them, Greek and Roman half-bloods gathered around, all pressing inside the throne room to listen carefully as they all solemnly congratulated each other.
There was no yelling. No cries of victory or laughter at the outcome of this hopeless war. Everything felt tense and sickening. Only one person seemed to be enjoying this obvious win as Octavian clapped enthusiastically.
"Well done everyone! I knew we could pull through and do it with minimal loss-"
"Minimal loss?" Annabeth interrupted and Triton blinked, having not recognized her at first. Her hair was knotted up and face covered in blood and monster dust. Her knuckles which were bruised, were clenched tightly as she watched with red eyes, her tone dangerous.
"I mean... That's not what I meant." Octavian quickly backtracked and before conflicts could start, Zeus spoke up.
"Children! Welcome." He said loudly, his voice vibrating against the stone room. For once, the old man looked at loss as what to say as he stared with vague wonder at the children in front of him. "This war has been long. Painful. More so than anticipated and we owe much thanks to Hera for combining the camps together." There was a pause in which the King may have been expecting the half-bloods to clap, but none came.
"...And you. This would not have possible without the help of our demigod children." He announced "Especially the seven who have led both Greek and Roman alike here today, managing to honor their parents and unite our forms." He continued and at this there was a small rumble of approval from the crowd. Triton smirked as he felt his Uncle's discomfort. Zeus hadn't wanted the half-bloods to be involved. He hadn't wanted their help.
Now he had no idea how to respond to the fact it was them who saved their godly hide.
"Our reward." Annabeth spoke up and everyone stared at her in surprise. Athena blinked in shock.
"Daughter, what-"
"You gave Percy a reward for his prophecy. Do we warrant the same treatment?" She asked firmly, her eyes meeting Zeus' and not daring to break contact as a heated hiss rippled over the gods.
"Greed is not for the wise daughter of Athena." Zeus told her with a steely undertone. Annabeth did not seem phased by this reaction though as she stepped forward, shrugging off Piper's hand.
"No. It isn't. It is for the desperate more than anything." She told him and swallowed as she closed her eyes for a moment, seemingly collecting herself. "Do each of the heroes get a wish of their choice or not?"
"Watch your tone child." Zeus growled out, his eyes heating the room up as the fires around the flickered higher with the anger of the gods. "Do not test me directly after war...But...Yes, I suppose the deal remains the same. However what you wish is out of our control Annabeth Chase."
"But-"
"We cannot bring the dead back darling." Aphrodite told her gently "It isn't nature's order. You'll just have to be content with the love you had."
Annabeth stared at them with shock before turning desperately to Poseidon, her hands shaking as she looked at him.
"He's your son. Do something!" She demanded sounding angrier than ever "Bring him back!" She yelled and Triton felt his eyes widened, waiting for the anger to come. His father didn't rise to the bait though, simply appearing to emotionally worn and drained to care.
"Annabeth." Hazel whispered and gently pulled the girl's shaking frame back to the group.
"My son." Zeus said, decidedly ignoring everything that just happened in favor of addressing Jason. "Step forward. For your bravery you will have the same offer. What is it that you wish?"
There was a beat in which the words of immortality barely touched his lips before he looked down and shook his head. Blue eyes traveled to Annabeth and then to a shroud which was shredded across the floor somewhere in the midst of battle.
"I wish for my friend to be with me again." Jason said quietly, looking up to meet the gods' eyes and Zeus made a noise of protest before Piper walked up next to Jason, grasping his hand.
"Me too. I wish for Percy Jackson to come back to us."
"Same goes for me." Frank nodded firmly and Hazel, releasing Annabeth gave a wary nod of approval.
"I want my friend back where he belongs and that isn't in the Elysian fields right now. No matter how much he deserves it."
"Well jeez." Leo coughed from his place behind everyone with a tired smile "I was going to wish for some nachos or something because I'm starving, but... Getting Percy back sounds kind of better." He said and there was a cheer from the demigods in the crowd. Zeus stared at them all looking angry, disappointed, and bitter all at once.
"You wish this. All of you." He said slowly and leaned back in his throne thoughtfully. "I never liked that brat." He murmured and Triton saw Thalia Grace give a growl of objection as her hunters stood next to her. Artemis shot her a warning glance, but said nothing.
"Hades?" Zeus said slowly "Is this worth the fuss?" He asked carefully and the whole room seemed to hold their breath and from somewhere beside him, Triton heard a laugh. Frowning, the god looked around only to blink in confusion.
"Perseus?" He frowned in bewilderment of his brother's form leaning calmly against a pillar. To add to the strangeness of it all, Percy turned, seemingly hearing him. Green eyes met his and stared without comprehension.
"Triton...?" He asked slowly as if in a dazed "What are you-? How...?" He sighed and shook his head "This is weird."
"What is this?" The god frowned "We're both having the same dream?"
"I guess." Percy shrugged "This hasn't ever really happened to me before."
Before Triton could find a response there was a clatter from the throne room as Hades apparently took his nephew's side. It was only when Hades gave a discreet look to the right that Triton noticed Nico Di'Angelo melting away into the shadows.
"This is after the Giant War." Triton stated calmly and Percy nodded solemnly, his eyes only on Annabeth.
"It's like the Fates want to punish me or something. Making me watch their reactions." He sighed as Hecate came from nowhere carrying something that looked suspiciously like a body. The room went silent.
"Have you had this dream before?"
"A couple times now." Percy muttered bitterly, kicking the column lightly next to him "Sorry, it's just... A little bit like watching your own funeral."
"You realize an analogy is supposed to be something compared with something the other person would understand right?" Triton asked him dryly and Percy threw him a questioning look.
"What?" He asked and Triton sighed in exasperation.
"Nevermind." He said and their conversation was stopped by a choking sob from across the room. Hecate had laid the thing down that she had brought in, uncovering the shroud that it had been draped in to reveal Percy.
Triton had seen corpses before. He had seen thousands of slaughtered innocents, a number of his lover's bodies, and tons of his dead children in front of his eyes before and for whatever reason, never had they seemed as gruesome as what was right in front of him.
Percy...Didn't looked like Percy. He was white, and thin, a kind of frailness to him that Triton had never seen before. Blood drenched his entire front, masking his face and tinting his hair. His eyes were closed, but there was still a sort of hollowness to them that sank deep as his body laid completely still. Triton swallowed and looked next to him to see his Percy also staring down.
"Attractive." He commented, trying not to show how deeply disturbed he was by the scene.
"Oh yeah. I had been planning on going down the walkway afterwards." Percy told him with a hint of a smile touching his lips despite the situation.
"Ah, annoying giants. They never seem to take your personal time into consideration."
"So rude." Percy added and they both adopted weak smiles as they tried to desperately lighten the situation. It was no doubt odd for his brother to see himself lying dead in front of him, but Triton got the feeling it was Annabeth's reaction that really was bothering him.
She hadn't said anything, but there wasn't really much needed. The demigod simply slipped to her knees next to the body, staring vacantly with eyes that could have been a thousand years only instead of only seventeen. Biting her lips, she grabbed a limp hand as pressed it helplessly against her before taking a shuddering breath and looking away.
"I hate watching them." Percy said quietly "I feel like it never makes a difference. They die. I die. Everyone loses."
Triton knew that there was more to the statement than what he understood, but he didn't press the matter, simply watching as the gods began their stiff speech, explaining how the process would take a couple weeks to complete.
"There is a difference."
Triton didn't know why he said it. It wasn't something typical of him to say, not to mention it wasn't very ethical. Nevertheless, Percy gave him a surprised glance for once focusing on him instead of his girlfriend.
"I mean... For me there is. So please don't...You know." Triton said awkwardly "End up like that again."
Percy stared at him for a moment, as if not physically capable of comprehending anything he just said before slowly nodding. He didn't comment further on it, thank the gods, which would have just made the whole conversation a thousand times more painful. Turning back to the scene, Triton noticed that room had been emptied of everyone aside from the gods and Percy's body, which still lay lifelessly in front of them.
"Foolish children." Zeus grumbled unhappily and glowered down at Percy. "Poseidon your kin have an unusual knack for causing problems." He added and Triton looked up to study his father's face in closer detail. He didn't look particularly happy about his son being brought back to life, but there was definitely some relief sketched there.
"Perseus did not ask for it." Poseidon replied back to Zeus warily "Has anybody considered asking him of his feelings on the subject?" There was a slight defensive tone in his voice and Zeus seemed to wave off the sentence with a roll of his eyes as Athena gave a noise of disgust.
"Why would he not? He yearns to do anything to make my daughter happy." She snorted with disapproval and leaned back into her throne, seemingly distressed. "Your son is holding her back. Did you not see her today?"
"Oh, don't start that up again!" Demeter groaned "The boy is dead Athena."
"By his own choice." Ares muttered under his breath "He didn't need to knock them out of the way."
"Your son would have been one of the lives lost." Hermes commented coolly from his seat.
"My son can take care of himself! He didn't ask for Jackson to-"
"Maybe not, but he did ask for us to bring Percy back. They all did." Hermes interjected, looking annoyed "You all forget that these are not monsters nor creatures of our years, but children. Children who have just fought an entire war that they weren't prepared for and somehow prevailed. They lost a leader and friend and only want him back. Is that so bad?" The messenger god questioned and for once, the entire counsel went quiet.
"You speak in wisdom brother." Athena finally sighed "I apologize for my rash comments... If anything I suppose this child is a hero... Despite his flaws." She admitted gruffly and several of the other gods gave a murmur of tired agreement.
"This is weird." Percy told him several beats later "I'm usually awake at this point. I've never heard them say this before." He said, his eyes fully trained on Hermes, no doubt thanking him silently for his words as Apollo stepped away from his throne to look at the body.
"Jeez Perc. You got yourself messed up, didn't you?" The medicine god murmured as he began healing the body. "I mean, anyone of lesser awesomeness than I wouldn't be able to heal you up."
"Thanks." A voice spoke hollowly and Triton turned to respond to his brother only to see it hadn't been him speaking. Looking up he saw that Hades had returned with ghost Percy close behind. He saw that his brother was staring at the ghost as well with a look that told him he didn't remember a thing of this.
"Is... Are you guys really going to bring me back?" He asked quietly and the gods exchanged looks before slowly nodding.
"It is...A complex process." Athena told him "One that has only been completed a few times. You understand this isn't typical?"
"Then why are you doing it?" Percy challenged in confusion and Zeus sighed longingly as the ceiling.
"You're...Friends wished it. We offer them anything and they insist we bring you back." He clicked in annoyance and Percy seemed to consider this for a moment before staring at his body, which Apollo was still in the process of healing.
"This may be difficult for you." Poseidon spoke up, sounding peeved as he glared angrily at his family around him before softening his glance to his son. "I think it is only fair that if you wish to return to Elysian fields than you should be able to. At any point."
"Should we offer to let him dine with us once a week as well?" Dionysus cut in sarcastically "Give him daily sacrifices?"
"I speak of fairness." Poseidon only responded and Zeus pursed his lips before shaking his head at his brother.
"You will never let this go if I do not bend." He admitted "Fine. If he wishes to return to death, it shall be given."
"Painfully." Ares muttered and Aphrodite scowled before whacking him in the arm.
"Good as new!" Apollo called out and everyone turned to see Percy's form looking just as he usually does, his chest rising and falling carefully.
"Whoa. Am I...Breathing?" Percy blinked, looking alarmed. "How...?"
"Your body is now functioning." Artemis explained "Your soul is not intact. You'll need a thread to keep both together."
"A thread?" Percy repeated with mild apprehension and looked warily at his father for reassurance that this wasn't some kind of horrible spell.
"A minor god or goddess to give you a piece of immortality. Bind your soul and body together so to speak." Hades answered calmly "You will not remember this when you wake child. We're going to put you in your body now, but it will be a coma until we find your thread, understand?"
Percy didn't looked thrilled at this prospect but seemed to accept this as he nodded before glancing hesitantly at the doorway.
"Everyone else is okay, right?" He asked quietly, as if not sure he wanted the answer. When he reassured that losses had been minimal he took another breath "Annabeth...?"
"Will be fine once you get back to her." Aphrodite beamed, ignoring Hera's sigh of indignation. "You two are so adorable."
"Aphrodite." Athena scrunched up her nose as Percy gave them all a small smile. Poseidon was watching him intently, his sea green eyes filled with a kind of concern Triton had never quite seen before. It brought up a moment of frustration towards his family in which he quickly pushed back down.
"Here." Hades told the ghost and leaned over Percy's body for a moment, opening his mouth. "Get in."
"Uh...Just...Step inside my own mouth?" Percy asked, sounding incredibly unimpressed. "That's...Really weird."
"I didn't create the process." The god rolled his eyes "Hurry up."
"Alright, alright." Percy clucked his tongue and made a face as he stepped into his body, the rest of his form slowly fading in before the ghost shimmered momentarily and disappeared. An eerie glow formed around Percy's now breathing form as Apollo snapped his fingers and a case popped around him. Triton considered making a Snow White reference, but in respect to the scenario, wasn't for sure it would be appreciated.
"So." Hephaestus coughed, looking around the room "Any ideas for a thread?"
Triton woke up hot and covered in sweat, his clothes sticking to him as he pushed his wet hair away from his face and looked at the bed next to him. Percy was waking up as well, jerking up with wide eyes and wild hair. They looked at each other for a moment, both silently asking if the other had really been there in the dream.
"Throne room?"
"End of Giant war?"
"You dead?"
"Resurrection?"
"Alright then. Same dream." Triton nodded and they both took a moment to awkwardly look at each other before glancing at the time."
"Triton... Do you think the Fates did that on purpose?" Percy asked as Triton stumbled out from his bed with a lack of grace he hadn't had in a long time. Trying to find a shirt he ended up giving up and flicking his hand so that his clothes were automatically changed and himself groomed.
"I'm sure. As of why? No idea." He answered briskly and looked threw Percy his clothes "Come on, we better speak to Chiron about this."
"Ugh. But it's three in the morning."
"Stating the obvious really isn't necessary."
"We should wait."
"Neither was your opinion."
Groaning, Percy seemed to realize he wasn't about to win this argument and grudgingly slipped on his shirt. Triton considered telling him he had put it on backwards, but as he watched his brother attempt to brush his hair with his toothbrush, realized it would be very much futile.
"I want to sleep." He complained as they went across the camp. A few harpies squawked at them, but Triton easily snapped his fingers and got them all to shut up. "Chiron probably isn't even going to be awake enough for this." He yawned.
"I honestly don't understand how you made it this long." Triton told him and then paused "Uh. Maybe not the best phrasing."
"Too tired to really get offended." Percy mumbled "Hey. CHIRON!" He called out as they reached the door and Triton shoved him into a bush in an effort to shut him up. The yell had apparently worked though, seeing as a centaur in hair curlers greeted him at the door a few moments later.
"Lord Triton." He blinked in surprise and glanced at Percy who had, of course, fallen asleep in the bushes. "This... Is an emergency I'm assuming?"
"We need to talk about Perseus' thread."
Anndd finished! I realize as I post this that it Memorial day is pretty much over so ignore my first AN ;p
Thank you all again for your reviews! They were awesome and I love them all so much! Hopefully this chapter was up to par... I felt the wording was awkward in some places but I'll give it a whirl. I had been trying to make a Thor story earlier so I realized I was making the gods talk like Loki and Sif about halfway through. I suppose it works, but still.
Anyways, hope all of you have an awesome memorial week and for those of you in different countries, I hope you just have an awesome week!
