I felt like doing the Review response now!

Xreeper16- special abilities wasn't their intention, it was a side affect. and Sleeping Beauty wasn't about to die because of heart problems. 2. Hello? To scout out talent? 3. We dont at my school so that's wat Im use to 4. Sorry, but sometimes people need to see the lyrics to get the meaning of why I choose the song,and sometimes i change them, but I do agree, it is kinda stupid. I'm trying to find other ways to show people the lyrics without having to look at them all the time 5. Didn't you read the explanation i gave in like the 2nd chapter? and since you seemed to forget it, i said they would be attacked every so often and they did a very good job of hiding it from Alex. Plus Alex is moving around so much now that any monster that would attack them couldn't keep up. big, I love these kind of reviews and quite frankly I wished I could get more of them. and thank you it does.

Chapter 12- Home again

"Are we there yet?" Maija asked for the billionth time.

"No ma'am, we're still in Eastern Michigan." Tom repeated patiently. Maija sighed.

"I know Twinny, I'm just as anxious as you to get back."

"And to think Muskegon isn't for another week."

We both sighed.

"Don't worry girls, it'll be Muskegon time in no time." Anna said

"Traver's city here we come."

Anna laughed, "That's the spirit, no you two go figure out what songs you're doing." She pushed us to our 'room'. Which was two bunk beds on top of each other with curtians.

"Yes mother." we joked.

WELCOME TO MUSKEGON

The sign passed by and I couldn't stop bouncing.

"We'll be at the hotel in a few minutes." Tom informed us.

"We still get to vist NM right?" Maija asked.

"When we get to the hotel, we'll take my car so this honker doesn't give you away."

"Sweet."

"Indeed, now go de-glorify yourselves." she said, referring to our outfits. We just got back from a 'your going outside and people will recognize you so you have to dress up'. Also known as the bus needed gas, Twinny was hungry, and she didn't want to go alone. So...yeah, being famous is hard.

We walked out, dressed in normal cloths, five minutes later just as the bus pulled into the hotel parking lot. There was a ton of people outside the main entrance. I thought they were staying at the hotel, that is until the bus stopped and they surrounded it, screaming Maija's and I names.

Shows how smart I am.

"Darn, sorry girls looks like I forgot about your fans. I'll go out the front and distract them while you take the trap door. My car is right behind us. When you hear me honk come out and get in ok?"

"Trap door?" we asked

"Right here," she walked into the bathroom and reached under the sink. There was a click and a group of the tiles poped up. Anna removed the block to reveal a clear path to the ground.

"Whoa."

"I know, now you two, down." I climbed down, but because of the fact we were under the bus, I had to stay bent over. Twinny came down after me. "Now don't leave the bus until you hear me honk ok?"

"Got it!"

"Good." She placed the lid back on and I heard another click. It didn't take long for Anna to get to her car once the people realized she wasn't us, cause after a few minutes she honked.

"Ready?" I asked Twinny

"I was born ready."

"On the count of 3 ok? 1...2...3!" We ran from under the bus to Anna's Volvo. She had two doors open for us. Maija jumped in the front, me in the back.

Anna smiled at us, "Good job girls, let's go."

Anna pulled into the parking lot across from the main office, "Well this is your stop girls. I arranged an assembly for you. Have fun."

"We will!" We raced into the the school. I've never been so happy to be in this building then I was now. The lady at the front desk, who welcomed us back very warmly,
told us it didn't start for about 10 more minutes. So Twinny and I went wondering, remember everything we left behind about a year ago.

"Man I missed this place." Twinny said.

"Yah me too. I wish we could have brought one or two of our friends, I mean stars have groupies right?"

She laughed, "True, maybe they'll let us if we point that out."

My phone buzzed, it was the alarm I set, "Assembly starts in 2 minutes, let's go."

"Where is it at?"

I smiled "The auditorium my mum built."

We were standing behind the curtain when people started filing in.

"Girls," we turned around, behind us was the principal. He hugged us, "It's so good to see you again."

"It's good to be back Mr. V." I said.

"So how do you want me to introduce you?"

I looked at Maija, "Just welcome us as 'Two returning students' and we'll take care of the rest."

He smiled at us, "Alright girls, you know how to work the mics right?"

Maija handed me my mic (portible of course) and put on hers, "All covered."

"Good good, well here we go."

"You ready Twinny?"

She sat down on the drum set, "If you're ready to push."

"I was born ready." I mocked her. She rolled her eyes at me.

"Welcome students! You're all probably wondering why we called this surprise assembly. Please welcome back two of your fellow 've only been gone for a little, so I'm sure you'll reconize them. Girls!"

"Here we go." I pushed Maija out onto the stage, she started the beat to a new song I wrote on the way from Traver's city. I started strumming as I walked out onto stage to join her.

"Hello again Norsemen!" I yelled before the song started.

You wake up, it's raining and it's monday
Looks like one of those rough days
Time's up, you're late again, so get out the door

Sometimes you feel like running
Find a whole new life and jump in
Let's go, get up and hit the dance floor
But when the lights go down it's the ending of the show
And you're feeling like you got nowhere to go

Don't you know,

You can change your hair you can change your cloths
You can change your mind, that's just the way it goes
You can say goodbye, you can say hello
But you'll always find your way back home

You can change your style, yeah you can change your jeans
You can learn to fly and you can chase your dreams
You can laugh and cry but everybody knows
You'll always find your way back home

Your best friends, your little home town
Are waiting up wherever you go now
You know you can always turn around
Cause this world is big and its crazy
And this girl is thinking that maybe
This life is what some people dream about
Cause when I'm feeling down and I am all alone
I've always got a place where I can go

Cause I know

You can change your hair you can change your cloths
You can change your mind, that's just the way it goes
You can say goodbye, you can say hello
But you'll always find your way back home

You can change your style, yeah you can change your jeans
You can learn to fly and you can chase your dreams
You can laugh and cry but everybody knows
You'll always find your way back home

Where they know exactly who you are
Back home where the real you is a super star
Back home , you know it's never too far away
Let me hear you say

You can change your hair you can change your cloths
You can change your mind, that's just the way it goes
You can say goodbye, you can say hello But you'll always find your way back

You can change your hair you can change your cloths
You can change your mind, that's just the way it goes
You can say goodbye, you can say hello
But you'll always find your way back home

You can change your style, yeah you can change your jeans
You can learn to fly and you can chase your dreams
You can laugh and cry but everybody knows
You'll always find your way back home
You'll always find your way back home
You'll always find your way back home

"So how y'all been without us?" They booed. Aw they missed us. "Come on guys, it wasn't that bad without us was it?" Cheers "Or maybe it was..." Laughing. "So if you don't mind, Maija and I would like to sing you a few songs." Oh look, more cheering. "I'll take that as a 'why are you still talking? SING!'"

So we did, we sang them Animal (after Maija and I finished it the night before since I only had the guitar part written out), Breakaway, and True friend. "Hey guys,
we're going to take a short break! We'll be right back!"

Maija and I sat down in the chairs off and behind the curtains. "So what other song should we do?" I asked

"Oh, I don't know. I know we're doing See you again last."

"Yeah,"

"How about Bubbly or something?"

"Nah, I don't want to do that one."

"Oh I think I know why."

"No you don't."

"Hey I may not have 10% of Athena's brain but I think I can-"

"Athena?" My head snapped up. Standing at the door was Zoey and Jake.

"Um...uh...'

"Are you two demi-gods?" Zoey asked.

"Wait how long have you known you were a demi-god?"

"We've known since we were 10. That's how we met, Zo and I went to camp together." Jake said, "Are you demi-gods or not?"

Maija raised her hand, "I am. Athena."

"Al?"

"Um...hm...kind of."

"Kind of...?" He pressed.

"I'm a mixed blood."

"Mixed blood." Zo repeated, "What's that?"

"My parents are half-bloods."

"Of who?"

"My mother was a daughter of Athena, my dad was a son of Poseidon."

"Whoa, Son of Poseidon? The only one since World War II was-" Zoey cut Jake off.

"My brother! Perseus Jackson. Your dad saved Olympus! And your mum helped! Your mum is Annabeth Chase right?"

I nodded.

"That is so kewl Mum! You're the only child of the two most famous demi-gods in history!"

"Yeah..."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing hija, just thinking about something my Grandma told me."

"Your grandma? Athena? Athena visited you?"

"Yeah, that's when I found out who I was, who Twinny was, who you guys were."

"You knew and you didnt tell us?" Jake asked.

"Well they told me the night before we were going to leave. That's when Grandma, Grandpa, and everyone else came."

"My dad!" Zoey started jumping up and down, "Oh why didn't I go with you!"

"My dad?" Jake sounded astounded.

"Yeah all 14 of them, see when I was born my heart wasn't stable so they gave me 10% of my life force each. So now I have their powers because of it. But also..."

"Also what?" Jake pressed me.

I sighed, "Grandma visited me again that night in a dream."

I was suddenly standing in a huge room decorated in amazing Greek acore.

'Alex' I turned around, there was my grandmother.

'Grandma? Is that you?'

'Yes darling.'

'Where are we?'

'Technically speaking?'

'Sure.'

'Well then, I am on Olympus. You are in bed, sleeping.'

'So this is a dream?'

'Yes it is, but I needed to tell you something.'

'Why didn't you tell me when you were here?'

She sighed and sat down, 'I couldn't tell you with your mother there.'

'Why? What do you have to tell me that mum can't know?'

'She would just...freak out. But I will tell her eventually, I just felt you should know first.'

'Ok, so what is it?'

She waved behind me, 'You might want to sit down.' I did. 'Now I'm just going to tell you flat out.'

'Ok.'

'You need to become...an Immortal.'

I felt my jaw drop 'What?'

'You need to become an Immortal'

'No I heard that, I meant, WHY?'

She sighed, 'Alex, you were givin powers of the gods-'

'On accident! I didn't want them! Take them back if you have to, I don't want to be an Immortal'

'We can't hunny, if we do you would die.'

'What?'

'They're what keep you alive, even if we could take them away, we wouldn't.'

'If you could?'

'Once we give our life forces away we can't take them back, no matter what. And if who we give life to dies, we loose power.
But if the object, or person, stays a live we're at full power. And we need to be incase something like another Titan War happens. Do you understand why you must stay alive now?'

Now it was my turn to sigh, 'Yes Grandma. But I just got the chance to get signed. Now I have to give it up'

She placed a hand on my shoulder, 'No you don't.'

'I don't?'

'No, there's a reason all the Immortals aren't immature. When the gods make a mortal, demi-god, or...other, Immortal we wait until they reach 21. That way it shows that they can survive and proves they're worth the gift. You can still pursue your dream.'

'Really! This is so...so I have to stop singing after that.'

'No dear, since you won't be a goddess you don't have to stay on Olympus. You can keep singing'

'But wont it look weird if I don't age?'

'Sweety, there are stars that are 50 but look 35 now a days, you'll be fine.' I laughed, I'm sure normal grandmothers don't have this conversation with their granddaughters. 'And if you're really worried about it, we could always put a few years on every so often.'

'Thanks Grandma, but what about mum? Dad? What about my friends? I don't want to leave them.'

'I've proposed your parents to the council a few months ago. It's going well. On the other hand, two of your friends are mortal, and the other three haven't done anything to deserve it.'

'Ok but...there has to be something!'

'I don't know hun. We don't just give Immortality away.'

'There has to be something,' I pressed 'They mean a lot to me.'

'Well you know Poseidon and I would love to make more of our chilren Immortal, and I'm sure Zeus wouldn't mind either. Soon all three of us have a child that are Immortal, and the other gods and goddess will want theirs Immortal as well. Most of them have children that helped a lot in the Titan war, but we just can't have that many Immortal demi-gods.'

'It would be worthless to try then.' I hung my head.

'No dear, you can always try. You just need a good reason.'

'I'll think of something...I hope.'

'As long as you have hope, anything is possible.' she patted my cheek, 'I should go now, and you need sleep. Big day tomorrow! Good luck sweety.'

'Thanks Grandma.'

Her palace faded away.

"Whoa," Jake said, before he continued I closed his mouth. "You're becoming Immortal? Whoa."

"MUM THAT IS SO KEWL! YOU'RE GOING TO BE IMM-" I shot forward and covered her mouth.

"Shush hija! There are mortals here!"

"Speaking of which, I think we need to get back to them and sing the last two songs." Twinny said.

"Yeah, good idea." I let go of Zoey, "Let's go."

I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY! I GOT MY BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD, MY 'BIG SIS' BACK! THEY'VE BEEN OUT OF MY LIFE FOR ALMOST 6 YEARS AND I GOT THEM BACK!
