Gwen forgot how much she hated air traveling. You would think after spending several years with a boy who could turned into a bird and fly you to places, you would be used to it. Yet every time she gets a jolt of nervousness right before the flight. Frank was already tired but he pushed through and managed to get them through the next border.
They were past the border in Utah, before Gwen made Frank land. She rubbed his head affectionately, and he turned to a human, she frowned at him.
"Turn to a tiny animal like a guina pig or something." Gwen told him, expecting him to do exactly what she said, but instead of a tiny furry animal she got a large sleeping ignuna. She picked him up and placed him on her shoulder as she started to carry his and hers bags.
Reyna was organizing something with Cassie while Jason was off to the side with Frank's phone. Gwen swiped it out of his hands. "How in the world did you get into this, it's finger scanned AND Franks been with me the entire time." She said, Jason shrugged.
"Reyna was distracted and I handed her his phone she opened it and voila." He said Gwen dropped her stuff to the ground and sat next to him, opening Frank's phone.
There was a photograph on the screen, Jason Grace was snooping through his photo. It was a picture of Frank in his cute golden retriever form sleeping on Piper's who was reading a book.
"Is that Frank?" He pointed, Gwen stopped herself from nodded. Jason had no idea Piper was a demigod.
"Why no, Frank went to the animal shelter as a dog with her friend Annabeth and he found the cutest and best puppy there." Gwen lied smoothly. Jason looked at her not to convinced but he took the explanation, he zoomed into the photo at Piper's book.
"What is she reading?" He pointed to a Greek slang book. Modern Greek not ancient, Annabeth wanted all of them to learn as many languages as possible. For survival and other purposes. "Why is it in Greek?"
Gwen smiled at him. "Annabeth again, is a brainiac, wanted to travel the world and got a bunch of us to learn languages, she knew a bunch already." Gwen said, she took the phone and swiped through a bunch of photos, Frank as a whale, Frank as a bunny that looks just like one of those bean buns. Same size too.
"Frank just loves scaring people with his powers," Gwen meantioned to Jason. "Once he turned into a beaver and scared Piper so hard." She told him, Jason let out a small laugh and Frank the Igunua shuffled slightly at the meantion of his name. Reyna and Cassie came out, Cassie with a big grin.
"Simple," Reyna pointed at the truck in the distance that was open. The it started to turn on. "That truck is going to Colorado. We just have to get on." Reyna said, she grabbed her stuff and went over to it.
Gwen and the others followed, Reyna started to throw their stuff in before climbing in. She pulled Gwen up careful not to hit Frank off. They were pulling Jason on just as it started to move. The driver had forgotten about the open back. Score!
Jason manage to climb on and Reyna closed the back pulling it down until there was only a small gasp of light big enough for Frank the igunua to only get out. They laid down with their stuff.
"Now's a great time for a lunch break." Cassie clapped her hands in celebration. She victory pulled out pulled pork sandwiches.
"There is an angel!" Jason said grabbing a sandwich, getting slightly flushered when his stomach growled. "Sorry." He mumbled taking a bite. Gwen moved Frank to her lap and started leaning against the truck container wall. She glanced at Reyna who wasn't eating.
"Rey,-" she started before getting cut off.
"Na," Reyna finished looking at Gwen, she raised her eyesbrows, her arms in a crossed position. "Yes?" She said.
"Why aren't you eating?" She asked
"Not hungry." Reyna replied, "We should get some rest after, I'll go first." She said, Gwen shared a concerned look with Jason and Cassie.
"What's wrong." Gwen said, putting Frank on the ground she scooted her butt over to Reyna and looked at her in the eye less than a feet away from her face.
"Nothing," Reyna said, she leaned forward and grabbed a sandwich, which she took a small nip at. Gwen wasn't convinced by the looks of things neither were the others.
"Spit it out." She said, she had her hands on her hips, ready to do her Gwen-mom powers. She looked into Reyna's eyes and just stared with a blank looks. Since glaring at her doesn't work, staring blanking into her eyes makes her uncomfortable which is better than getting scared by Reyna trying to help her.
"Just nervous." Reyna waved off, not meeting her eyes. Gwen frowned and nodded.
"Alright," She replied.
.:.
Gwen had a mental reminder in her mind to wake up after three hour for her turn, she off course woke up. Frank was still cuddled into her arms. The iguana is horrible for sleeping with, he whacked her in the face once.
She looked up to Reyna dozing off on her left. As there was no one keeping watch, Gwen set Frank on her backpack and sat up, pulled out her phone. Googles maps told her that they were close to their destination only a few more hours.
She sat up and decided to just procrastinate on her phone, because lets be honest who hasn't? She checked Percy's and Leo's location, still no idea. Plus her phone battery was low.
Reyna woke up, several minutes afterward, she was clearly shaken up. She kept glancing around the truck like a monster was going to jump out.
"You okay?" Gwen asked. Reyna snapped her head to her and gave her a reluctant nod. "Don't you dare lie to me!" She said. Reyna sighed and leaned against the wall, she picked up Frank and rested him on her lap stroking him.
"Demigod dream, scared the hell out of me." Reyna said, she continued to stroke Frank.
Gwen gave her nod. "What are you worrying about so much?" She asked.
"Amalie, I had a dream about this titan and a different one with a stick-like person." She said.
Gwen coughed and raised her eyebrows. "Stick-like?" She repeated, Reyna shrugged.
"He was a tall stick, well he was two years older than me, so I guess he's tall." Reyna told her. (Vee)
"Yes because you don't want a short scrawny person, so the fates have gifted you a dream about a TALL scrawny person." Gwen said, before realizing she was talking about Leo. "How about Amalie?" She added.
"Keep feeling like she is going die, because that prophecy." Reyna told her honestly. "Jason is supposed to help her since the sky is his parent's domain." She said.
"Hey could Jason technically 'fly'?" Gwen asked. Reyna shrugged.
"I don't know I supposed he could. He might have some history or memory of that."
"Or a nickname, what relates to his flying, since Piper is beauty queen and it relates to her mom." Gwen said, Reyna though for a second.
"What would mine be?" Reyna asked,
"Bad Romance?" Gwen said, Reyna gave a surprised choke. She quickly recovered and glared at her. She picked up Frank and threw him at Gwen, he landed on her lap.
"No funny." She said, Gwen smiled slightly.
"At least you don't have Lou Ellen sing 'you are my sunshine' as a way to call Will." Gwen said. "She thinks it's Will's version of that bat signel where they would shine a bat in the sky for batman to come." Reyna held a smile.
"She might call him Sunshineman." Gwen added, for a moment it was silent except for the others breathing.
Reyna and her started laughing, well Reyna was chuckling and Gwen laughing. Due to the amount Gwen was laughing she surprised sleeping Frank and caused him to become human. He squashed she and Reyna.
Reyna shoved Frank to the side while Gwen lifted one of his arms and placed it away from her.
.:.
Reyna went to bed after, and two hours later Gwen shook Jason away for watch and went to bed herself. She woke up to Frank shaking her by the shoulders.
"Oh you're awake." She said, pushing him away from her so she could sit up. Everyone was up looking at her, Cassie holding out her backpack. Gwen took it and placed it on her shoulders.
"We're getting off soon there's the sound of stop light." Reyna explained, as if on cue the should of one of those signals where it showed whether you could walk or not sounded.
"After we're going to get food, and maybe, change clothes." Jason added gesturing to their clothes with were quite dirty.
"Sound good." Gwen said, her stomach grumbled in reply, she flustered slightly.
They got off at the next pause ignoring all the honks of the cars who witnessed the fact that they were tagging along. The first thing was they went to a restaurant gor burgers.
They were to the washroom where it was just a big room with a toilet, sink and diaper changing station. They changed, and whipped the dirt off of them using paper towels. Gwen felt bad for useing so much paper.
They got their burgers and ate til there was a slight padding on their stomachs. Gwen paid and they started to search for the water park.
"Frank carry me!" Jason said, holding his stomach. "I'm having my food baby," he said, Frank snorted and continued walking. Gwen smiled and said the exact same thing, the only different between her and Jason was Frank actually carried her on his back.
"No fair!" Jason mumbled, in response Gwen stuck out her tongue and continued enjoying the view, behind a good three feet high gave you a different view on life, literally.
They continued walking following the instructions of an app on Gwen's phone. Seems kind of weird a bunch of teens relying on a small app, so much, but pretty sure a large amount of people in developed countries have used it.
Eventually even the greatest phone ever made needs batteries, even if it just five minutes charging.
Gwen frowned. "Let's go back to the dinner, we should have sneakily filled our water supply."
A large red flash of light appeared, and she dropped her phone, she caught it and lowered it into her pockets, all while pulling out a dagger.
"No need," said the voice behind, if it wasn't for the flash of light, probably Reyna would be fighting. They slowly turned around to see a large man, covered in the Roman armour, with a red spear.
Cassie, and Jason dropped first. "Lord Mars." He raised his eyebrows at the remainder, the held a smile and did the same thing.
"Roman's, I came to assist you," He said, he held out hand and pointed. "The water park is a mile west on Delancy. You can't miss it. Look for the Tunnel of Love ride."
"Thank lord Mars." Cassie said bowing again, he pursued his lips slightly, and nodded at her.
"I'm watching you praetor." He said before he disappeared.
.:.
The sun was sinking behind the mountains by the time Gwen and the others finally found the water park. Judging from the sign, it once had been called WATERLAND, but now some of the letters were smashed out, so it read WAT R A D.
The main gate was padlocked and topped with barbed wire. Inside, huge dry waterslides and tubes and pipes curled everywhere, leading to empty pools. Old tickets and advertisements fluttered around the asphalt. With night coming on, the place looked sad and creepy.
"Amalie?" Cassie said cutting through the barbed wires and padlock. She pushed opened the door, and walked inside, the others followed her inside. It was the first time Cassie said anything since the talk with lord Mars. She sneaked around the area holding her twin swords, Gwen and the others followed, they got into the gift shop and the first thing that happened was Frank swipes a shock ring. In all honestly why does a water park have a mini shock weapon.
Frank turned into a cat, any signs of his clothes and weapons were gone. His fur was the colour of his shirt. Frank the cat started running off down the aisles into a random booth meant for food. He gave a mewl and the others advanced forward, Frank eventually started diving into some of the rides, while Gwen and Reyna waited for any signal of distress. There was no monsters at all, it was mostly silent except for the creaking of old rickety rides and crunch of cautious critters scattered around the park.
The worn down booths and the deserted dangling toys looked like creeping clowns in the haze of the sun, before it started to look like ominous watchers waiting for a planned murder. Gwen felt uneasy at the unnerving looks of faces created by the shadows looming over her, the hairs on her neck stood up waiting for something to happen.
And it did.
Frank the cat gave a loud whining sound, making other jumps and hurry quietly to the destination where Frank was last seen. They stood by a ride, with and empty water bed, perfect if you were to go skateboarding. It was like a giant bowl, and around the bowl's rim were a dozen bronze angels. All with their wings out and bows ready as if to guard something. There was a tunnel where presumably where the water would have flowed if the pool was full in the first place. There was a sign about the tunnel.
THRILL RIDE O' LOVE: THIS IS NOT YOUR PARENTS' TUNNEL OF LOVE!
Gwen was about to go into the tunnel when a hand stopped her.
"Wait." Reyna told her. "If they got Frank they know we're coming and their going to be prepared we have to be cautious now." She explained, Gwen sighed and nodded.
"There's a symbol here." Jason noted lightly running his fingertips over the base of one of the bronze angels. "It's a Greek letter, Eta right?" Reyna gave him a quick nod to confirm.
"But," Cassie said. "We don't have to go through this way there's the exit." She said.
"We can split up, two and two." Jason suggested, Reyna shrugged and nodded. Gwen went with Jason to find the back of the ride.
.:.
Jason wasn't to sure he wanted to follow his own plan, but the non the less he and Gwen searched for the exit.
"This is stupid can't you use your phone?" Jason said walking mindlessly through the water park it got confusing quite. For one the tunnel disappeared into the ground so there was more space for the booths. And the second thing they had no idea how big was the park or how long was the ride.
"Sure." Gwen said whipping out her phone and she tapped a few thing and started walking off without Jason. "So we're here the exit should be here where there is this giant empty pool." She pointed to two points on her phone which Jason could barely see since the phone was so bright.
The two of them scurried over to the spot where an empty pool sat like the pool at the exit. There was a chain that was locking a fence that surrounded the pool, it was probably close for fixing at the time the place closed.
"It's chained," Gwen declared taking out her sword to slice through the chains. The sword didn't slice it, it got suck like a stick and dried mud, not like the knife through butter like he imagined. "It's celestial bronze." She frowned as she started to climb the fence.
"Celest what bronze?" Jason said jumping into the fence. His heritage allowed him to jump at least a feet high where he hit the fence. Gwen looked surprise as him.
"Celestial Bronze." Gwen said, "Like, imperial Gold, it the metal of the gods but it's way rarer." She told him, Jason started prodding his foot around the pool as Gwen walked straight there and walk into the place.
Jason immediately stood up straight and followed. There was rail in the ground where the boat would have been stuck to the ground and surrounded by water. There was decorations everywhere relating to love; heart, cupids it was kind of disgusting the amount of pink there was, along with the amount of mirrors.
They went down hill under ground even more, there was a carved out area, definitely not intentionally by the original owners of the park. It looked evil, it went to rock and it detoured away from the original ride. Jason readied his sword while Gwen pulled out a spare dagger from her boot which made Jason frown. Isn't uncomfortable in there?
They heard a roar and yelling, which made both of them jump, Jason almost charged into battle. Gwen stopped him. "We don't want to risk diving into danger for nothing. It's dangerous and risky already." Jason nodded and they shuffled down the cavern that was carved out.
There were faint thumps, slightly vibrating, making small rocks jump. It was until Gwen heard voices she tugged Jason behind another of those old bronze statues of Cupid. Three monsters came into view, Cyclops, two were carrying people over their shoulders. If Gwen didn't notice the familiar clothing she wouldn't know it was Cassie and Reyna. Their heads were covered by an ancient looking burlap sack.
"I can believe we fell for that." Cassie muttered confirming who it was was. Reyna nodded her head even though she couldn't see her.
"Thank you." The only cyclops that wasn't carrying them said, he was in the front holding an oil lamp in his hand laminating more of the area that the cavern didn't show through the tiny wax candles spears over the place. "Our lord was very clever using crude oil." Gwen and Jason had gone out of their hiding spot and followed them, luckily cyclops makes tons of sounds when walking so their footfall were unheard.
Reyna was shuffling her head to the point her cyclop was annoyed. "What do you want demigod?" He grunted.
"My neck is extremely sensitive, and this material is making my neck extremely itchy." Reyna lied smoothly. He gave a groan and lifted her and loosed the the sack on her head, before placing her on his shoulder. Reyna continued to shuffle her head slowly until the sack fell off her head, the only reason it didn't fall to the ground and make a sound was because she caught it between her teeth, she lifted her head slightly and saw Gwen and Jason.
She raised her eyebrows at them and Jason shrugged. She lifted her head even more and jerked her head behind them in the background noise that wasn't the Cyclops' feet there were faint huffs and growls. Gwen nodded and tugged Jason back into the shadows behind a perfectly conveniently placed rock.
Several seconds went by byfore another group of monster came, this time a pack of hellhounds. There was a cage located on a type of lift that there would be poles that would rest on someone's shoulders. Or hellhound. Inside the cage was a hunched over figure gripping a cat in their arms. Amalie was there with Frank.
Jason held Gwen jab in his the waist with her elbow. "Plan?" She whispered, Jason nodded and opened his mouth.
.:.
To say Reyna was embarrassed was an under statement. Reyna had been raised with a mind plot that she had to be always one step ahead. But how could she when she and the praetor fell into a trap using slippery oil.
After Gwen and Jason left the two waited for several minutes before advancing forward. Less than three minute later after deciding to no go on the boat Reyna slipped on crude oil, sad to say she let out a slight screech. Cassie slid down the oil to cover Reyna's mouth. It was already too late. For one they had to slide down into a cavern and right into a large pot. The next thing Reyna realised was a cyclops sticking its hand in to pot and grabbing Reyna by the arms. A Greek demigod tied her hands, it was definitely Greek by the grunt and swore he made when she kneed him in his crowned jewels.
No Roman would have swore 'mother-effing Hades'. They would have replaced the god with hell or something.
So how she had her head in a bag which is really rough on skin. She kept shuffling her head to annoy her captor.
"I can believe we fell for that." Cassie muttered, she was a few feet away from her. Reyna nodded her head even though she couldn't see her.
"Thank you." The only cyclops that wasn't carrying them said, he was in the front holding an oil lamp in his hand, since the bright light came in the direction his voice was in. "Our lord was very clever using crude oil." Our lord? There were faint foot steps that definitely no a cyclops perhaps a demigod, but Reyna didn't know if it was ally or enemy. She had to risk it.
Reyna was shuffling her head to the point, her cyclop was annoyed. "What do you want demigod?" He grunted Reyna smirked in her sack before putting an innocent tone to her voice.
"My neck is extremely sensitive, and this material is making my neck extremely itchy." Reyna lied smoothly. The cyclop groaned and lifted her off his should before his big meaty hands loosed the the sack on her head, before placing her on his shoulder. Reyna continued to shuffle her head slowly until the sack fell off her head, the only reason it didn't fall to the ground and make a sound was because she caught it between her teeth, she lifted her head slightly and saw Gwen and Jason.
Thank all beings above it was them, she raised her eyebrows at them questioningly to ask what they were going to do and Jason shrugged. She lifted her head even more and jerked her chin to the best of her abilities with out the sack falling off to the rock behind them, it may not be loud but the sound of growls were there. Gwen and Jason slowed their pace before they ducked behind a large rock that just barely covered them.
Reyna huffed slightly and shuffled her wrist to annoy the cyclops. It didn't help that she was constantly staring at his barely clothed behind. "Do you mind loosening my wrist slightly it chafing me." She said, bitting the sack slightly, before lifting her arms that were behind her back high until it almost hit the Cyclop's chin. The monster growled at her and mumbled something to quiet for Reyna to hear as his meat hands loosened her ropes, by loosening it he stuck a large finger under the rope was practically broken through. All Reyna had to do was snap her arms apart and break the ropes from her feet.
The ropes were tied badly at the knees, so she could move it around until her legs were crossed, if she uncrossed them really quickly it could break the ropes there too. The only thing was how she was meant to kill the cyclops. She had no idea what was Cassie doing, but judging by the amount of grunt the other cyclop was making she was most likely doing a similar thing or at least working towards the same thing.
They continued until they arrived to a well lit area of the cavern, it was kind of like a throne room. Reyna started her plan, she pretended to try and free her head as if the sack on her head was still there. As soon as Reyna let go of the sack and it hit the ground, Gwen and Jason appeared beautiful conveniently and slashed at the first cyclops. She kicked the cyclops that was holding her. She broke the rope at her hands and feet and pulled out her sword before stabbing the cyclops in the heart. He disintegrated into golden dust.
Cassie instead broke the ropes and her arm and stabbed the cyclops in the back, she landed on her feet when the monster broken into dust. Gwen grabbed Reyna's arm and ran off in one way while Jason broke Cassie's bonds before he took Cassie's hand and went the other way.
"What's happening?" Reyna felt pretty stupid running away with Gwen since she was out of the loop.
"Jason and Cassie is going one way to search for Amalie and Frank, we're going the other way." Gwen said. "I gave Jason my phone." She said, running down the large canvern, there were monsters heading towards them, well running toward them with fangs, clubs, and canines out.
Reyna stabbed through the monsters while Gwen ended up beheading them when they got to close, they all ended up in the same way, dead and to Tartarus. Reyna felt the ground rumble slightly before all the monsters froze, she turned her head to see a hand over Gwen's mouth.
"Roman demigods," The owner of the hand spoke, Reyna lifted her head to see a man with burning miniature suns as eyes. He looked like the Greek Apollo, if he was harsher. Even the light that came from him was harsh, it lit up the cavern.
"Hyperion," Reyna said, he was in Greek form at least she thought so. (So I searched up on the riordan wiki and guess what Hyperion's Roman name is sun. I never knew)
"Yes?" He said with an evil smirk, his beard moved slightly to show his smugness.
Reyna ran towards him, trying to free Gwen, from an outsiders' view Reyna would seem to be stupid for running head first into a battle with an immortal and his army of monsters. Yet she had cleverly devised a plan.
She ran towards him but a second after he registered it and started to laugh she launched herself at Gwen. She jumped so her feet were in his armpits before she lifted and buried her foot slightly deeper in his armpit causing to flinch at the awkwardness of having a tiny shoe in ones armpit. She pushed her arms from the titan's shoulder which feel like fire, she grabbed Gwen and pushed herself off with her and Gwen.
"Fool, you challenged me." Reyna clicked her tongue. Gwen was breathing hard, rubbing her neck with her fingers before she turned to a monster that was really close to her and stabbed it.
"Challenging a immortal is when they purposely challenged the immortal by telling them or injuring that person." Reyna said smugly. "Since all I did was stick my shoe in your armpit it doesn't count." The titan growled. "No to meantion you basically broke it by grabbing and harming a mortal when you are immortal."
The Titan turned to his monster army and snarled. "Monster!" All the monsters rushed towards the two.
.:.
As Reyna jabbed a hole through a cyclops her phone rang, she picked it up with her left hand as she had to duck under what looked like the cyclop who she hollowed a hole through' twin. She picked up guessing it was Jason.
"Busy in a battle with an army of monster and a titan just watching us with glee." Reyna yelled sarcastically. "Just track the phone." She heard Frank's voice yell in her ear. The phone snapped off. Reyna took Gwen's arm and started fight toward one side.
The dam titan who was watching with not actually glee it was like maniac waking up to a group of plucked ducks doing chicken fight in a pool. With creepy interest, that it creepy interest. He had sat down on a chair, which was a cyclops and he was also burning the cyclop. The cavern rumbled above, piecing of rock started to fall, Reyna ignored it at first since she was busy fighting. The cold cavern was the only reason she wasn't covered in sweat.
The titan looked like he noticed the falling rock too until there was another rumble like thunder after lightning. The cavern started falling down, it collapsed. Like actually it started collapsing. Reyna covered her eyes until she felt like she was picked up. Opening her eyes she saw Frank in bird form, looking to the left she saw a grinning Gwen as she pointed to the titan who was running after then.
There was a moment where the titan trip for no seeming reason until Reyna notice the titan bunching up a very thin metal filament. It was a trip wire, noise erupted from the cavern just as Frank got back to the actually ride and turned back. There was cupids the appeared and turned to the titan and shot. Arrows actually flew out connected to them were golden silky cables that magically connect to create a net. The titan was forced down.
"Hephaestus!" Gwen yelled tugging everyone on a boat. She started pushing the boat and jumped on the boat started moving forward. "Like the myths where he trapped his wife and brother in a net and showed them to the Olympians,"
"Someone else tried to replicate it?" Jason said, Reyna knew the truth but nodded.
"Jason use the air push us forwards!" Gwen screamed looking behind her, the titan was stuck and there was a Cupid with a camera. Reyna looked forward to see a barrier.
"Jason now!" Frank yelled.
Jason shut his eyes and the boat started to speed up. The boat shot out the barrier everyone flew off. If the ride worked normal the boat would have landed in the pool but the pool had dried, the seat belts broken, and the rails rusty. Reyna expected to slam into the concrete but the air slowed down. She opened her eyes to see Jason holding hands out.
"Let me see if I can land us safely."
Long story shot, Jason wasn't that good at his newfound skills and Amalie and her ended in a booth while Frank was holding on an umbrella for dear life as he hung ten feet off the ground.
.:.
Hepheastus didn't really except his trap to work on titans but it did. In the middle of an argument with Zeus and Hera where Zeus summonsed all the Olympians to take sides an Iris message popped up and they say Hyperion stuck to the ground by a net.
"Ares!" Zeus yelled as he and his son flashed away to catch the titan.
"What did you do?" Hera asked Hephaestus.
"I set up a trap for Ares and Aphrodite, but it seemed like something happen in the two years I set that trap." He shrugged as Aphrodite scowled, which still looked pretty on her face, just messing it up slightly though.
Zeus and Ares flashed with Hyperion. "Hephaestus make a cage!" Zeus said as Ares bolted the titan to the floor of Olympus. "Titan explain." He ordered.
Hyperion scowled. "No why would I?"
Zeus said. "Less painful entrance to Tartarus." He said, while Athena spoke up.
"Less torturing for information?" She said, Hyperion shook his head. Hera shook her head at both of them.
"Iris message." She said waving her hand and a rainbow appear where she dropped a dozen drachmas.
The scene appeared where the gods watched intensely. When it finished the gods turned to their Roman form.
"Well done, Ceres and Mars." He said they both nodded. "And Vulcan." He added. The gods went back to their early form were Hephaestus cleared his throat.
"I could like to cash in a favour from my father," He started. "Earlier there had been two heros on Calypso's island..."

Yes it was a kind of boring end. Anyway done.
I took an extra week since it was my mom's birthday and I missed a bunch of days writing in preparation. My dad had to sneak in an ice cream cake into a hotel with my mom in the lobby. Plus the cake half melted the next morning and I had a sore throat for several days after eating a fifth of an ice cream cake in two days.
I procastinated this week so there's a bunch of spelling mistakes. Plus my beta couldn't get to it in time since I just spent two hours writing before I update this story.
