Short Summary: What happens when interfering gods and goddesses, broken down teenagers and a ship are added together? Bonding sessions of course! And what comes with bonding sessions? Unravelled secrets! Join our Argo II members (minus one plus another) as the facades of the said demigods are unravelled, slowly but surely./ Rated T for: suicide, abuse, self-harm, etc

Extended Summary: When an interfering spirit personification, who goes by the name of Philotes, and the Queen of the Gods, Hera, work together to attempt to make the Seven, Nico and Thalia more bonded, it starts off with a little bit of Aphrodite-induced-fluff and de-aging via Hebe before plunging past the facades of all of the demigods, revealing their innermost thoughts and feelings, Apollo style. Of course, the demigods strongly disapprove of this idea, but who says no to a spirit/minor goddess and an Olympian goddess, the Queen of Gods no less? The ones with less internal demons can only watch as their other friends are torn down by bottled emotions, bit by bit.

"That, was awkward," Leo grinned sheepishly.

"You don't think?" Percy groaned, stuffing his head into his hands.

The duo had been dragged out of Leo's room by Aphrodite after a little conversation they shared was interrupted.

Glares were shot at the duo by the rest of those participating in the bonding session.

"What was that about?" Nico demanded.

"What?" Percy asked innocently.

"The breakdown and the running away," Annabeth clarified.

"What breakdown?" Leo asked, really and truly confused. "As for the running away, we were in a really awkward position and simply did what we had to do."

"What happened? There's a gap in my memory, I can't remember what exactly happened," Percy added.

Everyone fell silent. Did they really not remember the events that happened when they were turned into little kids?

"Besides the point," Apollo interrupted. "We're going to let you all discuss stuff, no restriction on the topics. More on your lives..."

"But," Aphrodite interrupted, raising up a few books, specifically two books. "Someone sent us this."

"Someone?" Hazel asked suspiciously.

"Um.. Someone," Jason confirmed, taking the books and looking at the note on them. "Someone that's stalking us and we don't know who the person is in real life. Apparently, she goes by the name of Shadow."

"Could be Death Breath's brother," Thalia snickered.

"Shut up," Nico retorted.

"Sister," Piper corrected. "Shadow seems to be more of a girls' name. Then again, it could really be a boy."

"Who cares?" Leo asked, throwing his hands into the air. "Just start. Read the note to us first, Sparky."

Hey!

Um.. This is Ancient Greek, right? I'm one of those rare non-dyslexic demigods. Yippee. So to me, this looks like Ancient Greek, Latin, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese and English, all at the same stupid time. Don't judge, I'm quite a linguist. I'm not completely knowledgable at Spanish and Japanese though.

So, besides the point, this is just a quick little thing to speed up your discussions. Yeah, I know what's going on. I guess… You could say I'm from the future so I know what's going on.

So! Warnings eh?

Don't be creeped out or anything. Don't read the whole books! I'll get the gods to give you time for that once all this is over! (This meaning the Second Giant War, of course.) Hm…

Okay, first, read chapters 1 to 3 of the Lightning Thief. Then read… Give me a moment… Chapters 47, 48, 55 and 56 of House of Hades. I'm sure some people can picture what these are about.

Peace! (For as much as possible, of course.)
Shadow

(Hm… My name isn't exactly Shadow, but you can call me that. It doesn't matter much to me. Same with Emerald, Moon, Phyre… But safest, you can call me Sarina since that's my real name. Why did I even bother using Shadow then? Sorry, ADHD.)

"So… Sarina, eh?" Leo chuckled. "Weird name for a weird kid."

Piper smacked him on the head. "Bad Leo, mean!"

"Ouch!"

"You deserved it."

"… She seems like she could be my sister…" Nico muttered.

A flash of light interrupted the demigods.

"Oh my gods. I just realised I didn't think this through at all," a strangely accented feminine voice groaned.

The light died down.

"I'll have to read it through too huh? Gracias yo*, you really made my day," the said female grumbled to herself. "Cheers to bad planning!"

Everyone else in the room stared at her in confusion. The girl seemed… eccentric, for a lack of better words. She seemed barely thirteen, her hair was dark brown with emerald green tips and her eyes were midnight black with grey flecks in them. She wore a dark grey top with black specks and a shimmery black sweater along with a pair of black tight pants that had sparkling emerald green streaks down each side of the pants.

"Oh. Sorry. Introductions. I'm Sarina, or Shadow or Emerald or Moon or Phyre… Uh… I'm kinda like yet not quite like Frank, demigod child of Hades and legacy of… Don't sue me, Minerva. So… Hi!" The girl, Sarina, grinned. "Sorry, this was bad planning on my part. I should have sent you translated copies. Can't have Frank reading everything, right? It ruins the whole effect. I'll read."

"Hello Sarina, I'm-" Annabeth started formally.

"Sorry Aunt Annabeth for interrupting. I kinda know all of you already. Like… Yeah, you're Aunt Annabeth. Then the valientemente idiota y leal** of a Son of Poseidon is Cousin Percy. Sunshine t-shirt is quite embarrassingly my idiot of a brother, Nico. Revealingly dressed punk girl- sorry 'cuz, you know you like it- is Cousin Thalia, girl in purple is my sister, Hazel, guy in purple is Hazey's boyfriend- Frazel is amazingly cute and I'm sure Aphrodite will agree!- Frank, blonde superman is Roman cognata*** Jason, girl with lots of blue and white is Piper and… boy with brown, yellow and grey is Leo," Sarina listed off. "Other two… The guy who looks like the sun is Apollo and the other lady is Aphrodite."

"You… strangely enough, got everyone right…" Thalia gasped.

"And you're annoyingly cheerful for a child of Hades…" Jason grumbled.

"So sorry I can't live up to your expectations, cognata," Sarina snarked. "But does anyone remember kid Nico? He was all 'A manticore? He's got three thousand attack power and plus five to saving throws!'"

Everyone laughed at the quite similar imitation of kid Nico while Nico flushed.

"'Does Zeus really have lightning bolts that do six hundred damage? Does he get any movement points for'-" She continued.

"Stop!" Nico groaned. "Its embarrassing."

"Aww… Big bro is embarrassed!" Sarina teased before sobering up. "But really, don't be. There's no shame in Mythomagic… I'm sure everyone here has embarrassing little secrets…"

Everyone looked down in shame. How was this lone Daughter of Hades able to affect them so much?

"Oh gods, I'm doing that thing again with my words! Gah! Stop! I wasn't trying to use my… Uh… Mystiokinesis! Charmspeak!"

Moment ruined.

"Charmspeak? Isn't that a thing only my children can do?" Aphrodite asked.

"How do you put it? Some children of Athena and consequently, even lesser of her legacies, are able to use Mystiokinesis. Why not Minerva then? And so, Charmspeak is a sub-division of Mystiokinesis," Annabeth explained. "Mystiokinesis is magic, by the way."

"And your accent, Sarina?" Percy asked.

"Oh! Like how Nico has this Italian accent and Hazel has this New Orleans' accent and Frank has a faint China accent and Leo has a Spanish accent and Annabeth has this weird mix of multiple accents and Percy has a clear New York accent. I have a Singaporean accent!" Sarina said in excitement. "Uh… A Singaporean accent mixed with a little bit of Spanish."

Silence.

"Singapore, like from China?" Jason asked slowly.

"China! Why is it always China?!" Sarina groaned, yelling at the ceiling. "China! Our ancestors were from China, India, Britain, Malaysia… You get the point, but we weren't ever in China! Ever heard of Malaysia?!"

Nods from around the area.

"Yeah! The southern tip of Malaysia is where Singapore is!" She continued, grumbling. "China. Always stupid China."

"Sorry to interrupt, Sarina, but shouldn't we start reading?" Frank asked politely.

"Right!" Sarina grinned, grabbing the first book. "First up! Chapter Forty-Seven of Heroes of Olympus, House of Hades!"

*Gracias yo- Spanish for thank you me (It makes no sense but roll with it)
** Valientemente idiota y leal- Spanish for idiotically loyal and brave
***Cognata- Latin for cousin

Word Count: 1221 words (Or somewhere around there)

(A/N: Please note, I am not Sarina and Sarina is not me. She's just a character that's really my first imaginary friend... Don't judge. Ha. I've got nothing much to say so...

Peace out! (Yeah, I got this from Sarina)
Summer)
