Chapter 10: Breaking Dishes Up In Here All Night

She had hung closely to Hercules on the horseback flight to his large home. Playing the innocent and scared was an easy feat for her. They hit ground when the moon was already up in the sky. He jumped off of Pegasus first and then assisted Mel to the ground.

"Phil…hey Phil? You here yet?" He looked around in the dark for his short friend.

"Cough…cough…huff…Over here…" He was out of breath and emerged from the bushes after running, trying to keep up with the flying steed.

"Shh! Can you bring Mel to the guest room…I'll go find Meg." He said now in a whisper.

"Sure, sure kid. Whatever you say." He said now bent over from being out of breath, with a sarcastic tint to his words.

"Will you be okay?" Hercules said to Melaina before leaving.
"I'll be fine." She said, as he nodded running over to the entrance of what might as well have been a palace.

"Common hun, we gotta get you into that room." Phil grabbed Mel's hand and she bent down stumbling behind him as they left for the spare room.

When she got there, which had taken a little while considering that she had been basically hoping on one foot, she realized the room was enormous. Pillars, a large bed, a desk with a mirror, curtains, tile floors…she could go on.

"You don't need any help getting situated?" Phil asked in another meek provocative attempt to attract a girl.

"Thanks but I can handle myself. Why don't you get going shorty?" She said sitting down on the bed, giving the goat an unimpressed look.

Phil turned around. "That's what I get for helping a damsel out." He muttered to himself leaving the room.

"Well this isn't too bad…" She said aloud to herself. "I could get used to this." She smiled a sly smile. Suddenly she heard two birds chirping from a high up window.

"Oh look who it is; two cute little birdies, sing me a song wont-cha?" She said sarcastically.

"Look sister, you almost got us swallowed by a sea-demon!"

"Yea, yea, and I was bate!"

"Speak for yourself; I got dragged down by that damn thing myself. Look just tell Hades I won't be needing too many more of his dumb monsters."

"Oh and why is that?"

"Because he can come here later tonight, and if my plan goes right, he'll have a nice little chance to get his little Megera back."

"Oh will he?"

"Yep, now go tweet somewhere else." She dismissed them flicking her hand.

"Pfft, you better sister." Pain said before the two flew off.

"Hmm, now to go about doing this I definitely should…" She walked over to the large door and opened it a crack. This way in the dark, if she were to light a candle anyone walking past would clearly see someone preoccupying the room. Now how to make some noise. A crashing sound possibly? She looked around the room moving her eyes from object to object. Ahh, that vase would do just fine.

"Hey Meg, I'm home!"

"Heya Herc, how'd the training session go today with ol' hoof feet over there?"

"Uhm," Hercules started putting his hand behind his head, "good."

"That's it? Good?"

"Well yea, I mean I guess you could say the east river is a little more accessible now…"

" Yea well Mr. do- right over there got rid of fish breath because he had to get all heroic again…" Phil said fuming into the room.

"Heroic?"

"Uhm, yea just a local wanted the mer-demon gone so I…"

"You killed it?" Meg asked.

He just nodded.

"Wow, Wonder-boy I didn't think you still had it in ya." She went over to him and punched him lightly in the arm, smiling. "Guess nanny-goat's got you back to that hero stuff for real?"

"Naaaaany goat?" Phil asked offended slightly repeating the a vowel like a goat would unintentionally. "Well I'm going to bed…goodnight." He said this quickly and rhetorically, before stomping off in the other direction.

"What's wrong with him?" Meg asked.

"Couldn't tell ya…" Hercules said confused by Phil's anger; ignorant of all the "suffering" that he went through today.

"Well Herc, I'm off to bed. Goodnight." She said before kissing him on the cheek lightly and walking off toward her room.

Hercules couldn't sleep just yet; he had too much on his mind with Hades back, hiding Mel out in the spare room, and keeping Phil and Meg happy…not to mention finding a time to propose to Meg. It just didn't seem to be the right time for that right now…not because he didn't want to…it's just he wanted any more conflict; it had to be over before they settled down. Sure, she was living with him in the same house…we'll let's be real his "house" was huge, but she didn't really have anywhere else to stay. No real family apparently. He had at least four bedrooms, three of which were normally occupied. But tonight it seemed the forth had found someone to lie in its bed. Speaking of which; he hadn't had time to think much about this Mel girl; just today he found out that she was the cause for Meg's deal; or at least part of it. But her story was pretty tragic too…and was just as lonely as Meg. Hades disgusted him. The fact that he was back and trying to make more havoc made him even angrier. What did it take to get that guy to give up? Hercules was sitting down thinking about this when he heard a large crash. This also followed by a scream, a door slamming and some female yelling coming from the hall.

...OOOOOOH SNAP. Cat fight? What went down ? What the heck does Devilish Mel got cookin up in hereee!
Aha, sorry just had to get that out. Hope you like the premise; from here on in it gets a lot more deep into the plot and interesting as you can see…

PS! If you like this story and are a Disney fan please go look at my new Peter Pan fan-fic called Ever Never Land. (WendyXPeter)
I just started it, and its kinda like this one! It's going to have some love, some jealousy, a fairy, some "kisses", some mermaids, a handkerchief, a boy named James, a room, a new gown, a necklace…are we still talking about the Peter Pan fan-fic? YEP. I gotta plot line that's ready to role if more people review it and read it … after watching the Disney movie I couldn't resist. So please take a peak! Thanks!
