I think its time for these 'cousins' to shine.
Which means, Nico, Percy, Bianca, Triton, Melinoe and Macaria will have their own personal point of view! But only in this chapter. This is the Special Chapter since most of this fics readers voted for this little segway. But please even if you voted for B please still read this. It's kinda FUN! I had fun making this chapter. I hope all you will have to. Anyway, introduction guys?
Nico: Finally
Bianca: Shouldn't we tell them our ages?
Me: Okay, okay. Here's the list:
Triton-16 (Same age as Hephaestus)
Percy and Nico-14 (Same age as Hermes)
Melinoe and Macaria-23 (Same age as Athena)
Bianca-15 (Same age as Apollo and Artemis)
Katie: Hey you forgot about me!
Me: Sorry, Here, Katie-7 (Same age as Dionysus)
Most of you voted for this chapter so I present to you...*drum rolls*
Bianca: Nico stop playing with the drums!
Nico: Sorry. *stops playing*
Me: A notey note too! Macaria is actually the Goddess of Blessed Souls. She's usually referred as Hades' daughter (Mother not known, check it on Wiki) And Melinoe as we all know is the Goddess of Ghosts, I think? Yeah. Hades' and Persephone's daughter.
Macaria: Shut up, continue the chapter!
Melinoe: *runs in* Wait! I just needed to fix my pedicure and we all roll in?
Everyone: *shakes head* No. We won't wait for you.
Triton: Just roll it in, Miss Author. Let Melinoe miss it!
Melinoe: I won't! I'll just stay here instead!
Percy: Popcorn, guys?
Nico: Hell yeah!
Bianca: Well, Miss Author, What are you waiting for?
*Cough* So here's the awaited chapter of the week! This is a pretty long chapter too. To satisfy your needs.
Extra Chapter: Just Dance
Triton's P.O.V.
Okay, It started with a peaceful game of Table Tennis at the Wii Console with Hephaestus. We did not join the Snowball anymore since Ares and Athena came. And we're both starting to get the chills too. You see, This entertainment area is at the second floor. In front of the three doors of Macaria and Melinoe's room, Mine and Heph's, And Athena and Ares' room. This is kinda like the excess space at the second floor. You get my idea right? I'm not good at describing houses okay?
In this Entertainment Area, There is a 3 seated couch in front of a 52'' flat inch TV which is mounted to the wall and on its side are two tall speakers. Below is a black wii console with a box where the Wii Remotes and Nunchucks are there. Together with some batteries too in case the battery of our wii remotes ever got lowbat. They're kinda fast to get low. The CDs are also in the box. Series of Just Dance CDs. Wii Sports Resort. Wii Sports. Wii Fit Plus. Yeah. Ultimate Haven for Wii Players.
"I'm not really good at Table Tennis" Muttered Hephaestus as he flicked his wii remote to the ping pong ball in the TV. As usual it went outside of the table, So I got the points. Hephaestus is not much into sports really.
Then, The TV announced that I won.
For the nth time.
"Why did I challenge you again to Table Tennis?" He asked, slumping to the couch. And pausing the game. I went beside him too.
"Because you don't like having a snowball fight with Ares at your sight." I answered hypothetically. He groaned and slapped his hand to his forehead. I just realized I made a rhyme with a 'fight' and 'sight'! Maybe I should compete with Apollo in poetry? Nah. I'll lose.
"Yeah. Fuck my life" He cursed, If Athena was only here...He already slapped Hephaestus in the back.
"Did I just hear a curse?"
Both Hephaestus and I turned to the staircase, There is Athena, followed by the rest of our cousins and hey! Is that Macaria and Melinoe?
"Macaria? Melinoe?!" Hephaestus and I synchronized. Both of us jumped into our seats. We would look pretty hilarious right now. Guys, please, don't post this on youtube. I don't want to become an insta-star.
"Hey Triton!" Macaria and Melinoe synchronized. What's with the synchronization today? Well...they're twins. But Hephaestus and I are not twins so why did we synchronized? Ugh. I'm using the word synchronized a lot.
"So everyone is here?" I asked, by now, everyone was in the second floor. And I could tell, Hephaestus really wants to get out of this place. Because Ares is just in the corner. Oh, Would you look at that, Bianca and Nico are here too. But I think someone's missing. Someone is. Just couldn't wrap my finger on who is that cousin that we are missing.
"Yep." Percy answered, then went to get the wii remote that I just used. I slapped his hand away.
"Hey! We're playing!" I said, grabbing the wii remote and clutching it to my chest protectively. In an instant, I felt everyone's eyes on me. It was creepy. Having 12 pairs of eyes staring at you? Not really on my Christmas' Wishlists.
"Could we play?" Bianca asked smoothly, lifting off her cap. She then tied her hair in a ponytail.
"What game?" I asked, the next thing I knew, someone is already (someone whose name is Artemis) at the TV and already changed the CD (Without my effin permission)! I could hear the background music of Just Dance.
"Just Dance?!" I shouted, Seriously? They all nodded at me. Hephaestus tapped my shoulder and looked at me with sympathetic eyes. Looks like, he is giving up too. Besides, he never liked the Table Tennis.
"Just let them play." Hephaestus said, I sighed. Then, A crazy idea came to me! I grinned. Oh, Yes, We will ALL play. MY RULES! Cuz Boys Rule and Girls Drool! I think its the opposite way around? Oh well. Let's all just play just dance in my way!
"Ehem! Fine, I'll let you all play! But I have some rules and regulations to follow!" I announced, they all looked at me.
"What rules?" Athena asked, I smirked at her.
I went to the box and pulled out the two extra wii remotes. In total, We have four wii remotes. I snatched the two wii remotes that Apollo and Artemis are holding. I placed the four wii remotes on the floor and I sat indian seat in front of them. My back in front of the tv. I coughed for dramatic effect and announced the rules.
"First. This Just Dance...Will be a team up. Split into three teams by our fathers! So we have Uncle Z's group! Dad's group and Uncle Hades' group! All by the groups of four since the wii remotes are only four!"
"How about us?" Hermes asked, gesturing to him and Dionysus.
"Join Percy's side. Since me and Hephaestus will be the masters of ceremony!" I said, The minute I said that. Zeus' siblings are looking at me strangely. I crooked up my eyebrows.
"What?" I asked, eyeing each of them.
"Wrong choice of words." Athena started.
"Grammar too. Should be Hephaestus and I" Ares answered.
"'Masters of Ceremony' is clearly not the best choice of words." Artemis said.
"I would've used 'Hosts of this game?'" Apollo stated, A bit unsure.
"Or maybe 'Hosts of this competition'" Hermes added, All of us looked at Dionysus. Expecting something from him. But he just shrugged.
"What? I got nothing!" He said. Waving his hands in front of him as if a surrender in some big fight.
"Perfectionists." Macaria muttered, crossing her arms. I second the motion, Macaria. Zeus' children are perfectionists. And Geniuses.
"Continue the rules." Percy said, saving me from more embarrassment. Thank you brother! You're the savior! Love you bro! This is BROMANCE! MWAHAHAHAHA! I think I could defeat Maleficent in my evil laughs.
"So here's the group list: Macaria, Melinoe, Bianca and Nico for the first team. Percy, Hermes and Dionysus for the second team. And Athena, Ares, Apollo and Artemis for the last team. Now, how will the scoring go? We will all add up the points of every person in the team. Then divide it by four, so we could get the average. Courtesy to Hephaestus who will be doing the math. Right, Heph?" I asked to Hephaestus who is already sneaking away to our room. He sighed and went back beside me.
"Yeah." He muttered. Taking out some calculator and paper. Where did that come from?
"Divide it by four? Then how about Percy's team? They're only three?" Athena asked. Earning some nods from the others. I kinda think about it too. And then finally! I remembered the one that I am looking for! The one that is missing in this room!
The answer lies on the first floor.
Katie's P.O.V.
"Mom, You shouldn't have brought a lot of cereals! Look, They are all going inside now!" I whined as I helped mom carry a lot of bags. Bags full of cereals. Oh, gosh, I already know our breakfast tomorrow. Guess? Cereals. Lots and lots of cereals.
"Katie. You know cereals are healthy and...It's your father's favorite." She muttered the last sentence. I hope Nico and the others could help us carry these bags. But even they are suffering from a lot of bags from Macaria and Melinoe. They're fashionistas.
"Yeah, I know mom." I said, Both of us went in to the mansion. Strange, No more people at the Living Room. But we could hear some noises coming both from the Dining Hall and at the second floor.
Mom and I entered Hestia's room. We sleep in here when the two of us goes here. Her bed is big. King-sized. And I'm just a small girl so I'm not taking up some space actually. We placed our clothes to the empty closets which belonged to me and mom.
"Katie, I'll go to the Dining Hall to be with my siblings. Do you want to stay here or maybe go up to your cousins?" She asked, Oh! I would choose to be with my cousins! Its been a long time since I've seen them. Oh! Dionysus! My most favorite cousin! I'm going up there, cheesecakes!
"I'll go up to my cousins!" I said in a hyper way. She smiled and both of us went out of Hestia's room. Mom headed to the Dining Hall carrying her bag of cereals since she's gonna place it on the kitchen and I went to the staircase.
I swear I could hear Mom smacking someone (Not sure but its kinda Uncle Hades) with her box of cereal. I chuckled and went upstairs. They were talking and as I got nearer to the top their voices became much more clearer to my ears.
"Divide it by four? Then how about Percy's team? They're only three?" That's like Athena's voice! Wait...What are they talking about?
Then, I finally reached the second floor and Triton screamed my name.
"KATIE! She'll be the last member!" What in the world are they talking about? Speaking of screaming, Dionysus screamed. Oh, Yes, scream! My cousin! Scream at the sight of Katie Gardner.
"Oh Gods! No! I don't want Katie to be our member!" Dionysus shrieked, I ran to him and jump at him. He pushed me away.
"That hurts!" I said, almost crying. What? I'm just a seven year old! We tend to cry.
"Tsk. Dion, Look Katie is going to cry. We don't want Auntie Demeter to feed us cereals all day long for our punishment on making Katie cry." Artemis said, I wonder how its like to have a big sister like Athena or Macaria. I never had any siblings. Dad died. Me and mom left alone. It's so sad. Having no one to play with. I really hope I could have a sibling.
"Dionysus, Apologize." With one warn from Ares. Dionysus looked at me and apologized.
"Sorry, Katie." He said, I hugged him. Dionysus is like a brother to me than a cousin. We're at the same age. Though, we do not get along very well. I put some tantrums in him.
"K-Katie, Can't breathe!" He said, I let go. I think I do not know on how could I control my strength. Oh, Well.
"Where are we now?" I asked, So Dionysus explained it to me. But I cannot really get this scoring 'thing'. But I don't care. It's just some score.
The important thing is:
We will have fun
Macaria's P.O.V.
"Rock-paper-scissors. A representative from each group." Triton called. He already settled with Hephaestus at the corner with a calculator and paper. Athena walked to the front. Percy followed. Wait, Why are my siblings looking at me? So what if Athena and Percy went to the front? And why are they also looking at me?
"Macaria! You need to go to the front and do some rock paper scissors with them!"-That was Melinoe guys. Brief explanation, What you have just witnessed is a twin telepathy. Took us years to learn it. We transmitted discreet or secret messages to each other. Using by our minds. Only minds. Though, usually, I need to have Melinoe in my sight before I could do some freakish telepathy thing. So I could concentrate in her and send my message.
We asked Apollo and Artemis (who are also twins) if they have this twin telepathy shit. Well, guess what? They don't have a twin telepathy. It's kinda sad. Its like Apollo and Artemis are MORE like twins than Melinoe and I. By the way, I'm older than Melinoe. But its always a mystery to us on who was born first with Zeus' twins. Apollo or Artemis? Nobody tells.
"Oh? Why do I need to do some rock-paper-scissors with them?" I asked, raising my eyebrows at Melinoe and crossing my arms. She just glared at me. Oh you younger sister! You do not have respect for me! Do not look at me in that way or I'll...I'll...Well, I got nothing.
"Duh. So we could know who are the first group who will dance, you dipshit" I would've ignored the tone she used when she replied to me. But with her last commentary. No way would that be left unnoticed.
I walked my way to Athena and Percy. But kept glaring at Melinoe. Another conversation started between us.
"You trashtalk to me Melinoe? Know your place I am ol-"
"Oh just get on with the rock-paper-scissor game! You're making everything slow!"
"What happened?" Athena asked, Crooking up her eyebrows. While looking between Melinoe and I. I focused my attention now between my two cousins. Seems they have grown up a bit. Percy is undergoing puberty and Athena is growing to a fine lady. Not like the girl that Melinoe and I used to play barbies with. She really doesn't like dolls. She like either reading or writing than playing dolls with us. Kinda a sucky childhood in my opinion.
"Twin telepathy." I answered, Athena and Percy nodded in understanding. All of us placed our right hands in front of us and started the battle for the epic rock-paper-scissors. Our other cousins are also watching us. Silently. I looked at Athena and Percy (I was kinda commander in here since I'm the eldest. I was a few years older than Athena) and signaled them to start now.
"rock-paper-scissors!"
"paper"
"paper"
"SCISSORS! YAY!" I shouted, Melinoe, Bianca and Nico gleamed up. So I went to pick up the Wii Remote and my siblings also got theirs. But then, I just remembered that this is a 'competition' so I turned my head to Triton and asked.
"Do we get to pick our song?" I asked. Triton and Hephaestus looked at each other and with a final decision they nodded in agreement.
"Yes. You get to pick the song." Triton said. Suddenly Bianca pulled me and whispered something into me. Something...dangerous.
"I know what song we will play."
Bianca's P.O.V. (A/N: Are the quick changing of P.O.V.'s bothering you? Well. Sorry. Deal with it.)
As soon as I knew that we get to pick our song, I quickly went to Macaria and whispered the song. Nico is eyeing me strangely. He knew that the song that I chose was going to affect him. Good luck Nico!
The CD was Just Dance 4.
Macaria started picking out the songs while our other cousins were planning on what song they will dance. I kinda heard some 'Crucified' from the Zeus' siblings while 'One Direction' from Poseidon's group. As the song that I chose gets nearer and nearer to the center, Nico was screaming hell.
"Oh no! No! No! No! No! Bianca! Why?!" Nico whined, I smirked at him and crossed my arms. Then Macaria entered the chosen song of mine and everybody started laughing and cheering on Nico.
"Okay, Guys ready?" Melinoe asked, We all nodded. It started playing. Nico was not participating and he also have this 'horror' face. How could he right? When the song is..
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I think I did it again
I made you believe we're more than just friends
Oh baby
It might seem like a crush
But it doesn't mean that I'm serious
'Cause to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me
Oh baby, baby
"Come on Nico! Dance!"
"Nico, We'll lose if you don't dance!"
"NICO! NICO! NICO!"
"Show us some smexy moves!"
"Be a man!"
"FINE! I'll dance!"
"Hate you Bianca." He muttered, then started dancing along with us. Hilarious. So so hilarious. (A/N: For better imagination please watch Oops I did it again-Just Dance. Macaria-Orange Melinoe-Yellow Bianca-Red and Nico- Blue)
"I know." I whispered to him. Gods, his body is so stiff. I'll bet he'll be the one who has the lowest score between all of us. Suddenly someone snapped a picture of Nico in the right timing with a sexy pose. Heard the snap of the camera guys!
"I'm going to upload this in Instagram." Artemis announced, taking out her phone. Nico looked so hopeless now. Blackmail, brother, great blackmail. Soon, you'll be trending in twitter. #SmexyNico
"No! Please Artemis no!" He shouted and stopped dancing. And I, being, the greatest sister of all time just did what the others would do.
"Nico! Keep Dancing!"
"That would be the last time I'll dance something like that." Nico said as we all finished dancing. Everyone was giggling and chuckling and throwing him some snickers.
"Oh hey! You gained 40 likes in both Facebook and Instagram!" Artemis said as she looked at her iphone. How many minutes did we dance? Around 4 or 5 and that was the time it took for Nico to be trending the social media.
"Wait did you tag me at FB?" Nico asked more like shouted. Which earned some laughs again. My stomach hurts now! Please stop! HAHAHA!
"Oh hell yes!" Artemis smiled, Nico suddenly snatched her iPhone. Bad move, Nico. Number one rule in here. Don't mess with the twins. Because Apollo was now in front of him and giving him the most scary I-am-disappointed-in-you look and tone.
"Now...Nico...You don't take Artemis' phone, Do you?" He asked, with a malice. So scary dude. Even made Nico jumped. And did I just heard him squeal?
"Fine! Sorry!" He said and gave the phone to Apollo and ran to the bathroom. (again earning some laughs from the others) Apollo smirked and tossed the phone to Artemis which Artemis caught with no hard at all. And she even smiled back to her twin. Oh, those twins.
"Okay guys. Here are the scores..." Triton said, leaving us a cliffhanging sentence. Then a drumroll sound came out of nowhere.
"I did not know we have drums inside the mansion." Ares stated, Looking warily around the room. Finding the source of the unusual sound. Everyone started to find the drumroll sound but it just kept playing. Everyone started to have the 'creeps' inside them. Even me.
"Stop! Just who the hell have this drum roll sound?! It's creeping me out!" Macaria shrieked, covering her ears. As if lightning stuck on the face of the Zeus' siblings, they all stared at one person and shouted his name.
"HERMES!"
"Cool Tone isn't it?" He asked, taking out his phone that he is hiding. Some of us gave him glared. Some looks of disappointment. And he eventually apologized and stopped the drum roll tone.
"Anyway, Here are the scores! 4897 for Macaria. 4673 for Melinoe. 4321 for Bianca and Nico have a score of 3258!" Triton coughed and announced, Changing the subject. Protecting Hermes from more shame and embarrassment. Nico got the lowest. I was kind of expecting it. I knew Nico will not really do well at dancing 'Oops I did it again' By Britney Spears. He's much more of a Green Day fan due to his 'girl' bestfriend, who have a not 'updated' kind of music. I was surprised that her girl bestfriend does not like One Direction.
I mean who doesn't like One Direction right? I mean, they're cool, funny and they're songs relate to so many teenagers out there! I am even a fan of them. Yes, I, Bianca Jove, is a DIRECTIONER! DIRECTIONERS RULE! In your face, Justin Bieber! Oh my gosh! It's happening again. My fangirl sickness. Please pardon me from my rant. It is just that...that one direction is so...Never mind.
But you know the strange thing about my cousins is they're not cheering for Macaria since she won. They were cheering for Nico. Is this an opposite day or what? What's wrong with people these days? So as soon as they were chanting his name, Nico went out of the bathroom (I'm sure he heard it) with a gleeful expression in his face. I wonder what's going on with his head right now. He raised up his arms and act as if he won a spelling bee or contest. But that's what I am not noticing right now.
I ran up to him and whispered to his ears the thing that I am noticing.
"Bro, Your zipper is open."
Nico's P.O.V.
As soon as Bianca said those words, I quickly withdraw from my 'I-am-the-king-of-the-world' expression. I totally forgot to zip my pants before I left the bathroom. They were chanting my name so I was kinda wondering why and when I went out of the bathroom they have this 'gleaming' smiles at me and was still shouting my name. I looked at Triton and he gestured to the scores of this Dance Contest so I thought I won. Cuz they're chanting my name. Audiences always chant the winner's name right?
And yeah, being a winner sucks because during at the moment of your triumph your sister just had to go beside you and whisper that your pants zipper are open. Totally sucks. I closed my zipper and was praying that hopefully only Bianca saw that. Because if the others saw that...Well, you get my idea. Artemis awhile ago just have to post my picture while dancing Oops I did it again in FB and if she saw this...I might have another trending picture again.
"What's happening? Why are they chanting my name?" I asked Bianca, She laughed at me. Ugh, Why are you laughing now? I have closed my zipper, Don't tell me my spongebob boxers are seen!
"Stop the 'King' Act, Nico, They're cheering for you because you lost." Bianca answered, Earning some laughs again from the others. Great, I'm a laughing stock. But I don't get it, why are they cheering for me when I lost? I can't believe I have the world's history's craziest cousins. They're so cray-cray. The 'Zeus Group' went in front of the TV now and we, The 'Hades' group went to the couch where they are sitting awhile ago. It's just a four-seated couch. Triton and Hephaestus are in one corner with two monoblocs and a folding table where they are scoring and while the kids: Hermes, Dionysus, Katie and Percy are sitting in the carpet because there are no more chairs for them to occupy. Too bad. But they're children anyway. Except for Percy who acts like a child though.
The Zeus group were holding now the wii remotes and were choosing their own song. I know they wouldn't choose 'Oops I did it again'. I really don't get it. Why? Bianca? Why have you chosen the song of Britney Spears?! Of All songs at the CD of Just Dance 4 just why Bianca? Why? I knew it was her who told Macaria to pick the song. I knew it was her. The moment Triton announced that we are free to choose our songs. I knew it was her who planned and devised that! I just don't understand why. Bianca has a more manly attitude. Wait scratch that...She's a directioner. A ONE DIRECTION fan but besides of her fangirlishness. She dresses in a simple way, not in shorts or skirts. Usually jeans and sneakers. I'm starting to sound Taylor Swift. (ref: You Belong With Me)
Oh want to know what song the Zeus' group are playing? Crucified. Damn. Why couldn't have my siblings picked that! That is so much better than Oops I did it again! It's a good thing they found a song with a boy and a girl in a non-romantic way of dancing. The Crucified song consists of two boys and two girls. But its not a romantic song like Jailhouse Rock or One Thing where it needs a boy and a girl and in the end they have to smooch. I don't understand the makers of this game. Why do they have to produce dance moves where in the end a kissing would happen? It's not like all the players of Just Dance are couples. How about if the players are siblings? Awkward right?
I'm crucified, crucified, like my savior
Saintlike behavior, A lifetime I prayed
I'm crucified, for the holy dimension
Godlike ascension, Heavens I prayed
Right now, I do not care about how awful/great those four in front of us are dancing because I am now checking my Facebook. I took out my phone and connected it to the mansion's Wi-fi and opened my fb. I logged in and saw the numbers of my notifications. Phew, Only three. But I did not know three could be so dangerous right now because this is what the three notifications consists of:
Artemis Diana Jove tagged you in a photo
Hades Jove, Maria Di Angelo Jove and 38 others like a photo you are tagged in.
Thalia Grace and Macaria Jove commented on a photo you are tagged in.
First, I hate you Artemis. Second, MOM and DAD already saw the picture? Third, Seriously, Thalia and Macaria what did you two commented on my photo? Gods, I need to see this post now. I tapped on the third notification since I am so interested on what my bestfriend and my sister said about my photo. And this is what I saw:
Artemis Diana Jove playing Just Dance with Macaria Jove, Melinoe Jove and 9 others
*insert a very humiliating pose of me dancing*
40 likes, And 3 comments.
Thalia Grace: Oh, Hell, Is that you Nico? (5 thumbs up/like)
Macaria Jove: Heck, Yes, that's Nico! (10 thumbs up/like)
Thalia Grace: Fucking shit man, Didn't know you're a gay dancer. (17 thumbs up/like)
Ugh. Now I need to regain Thalia's trust of me not being gay back. Now, everyone's guessing who's Thalia? Thalia is my 'girl' bestfriend. And no, I don't have a case of 'in-love-with-my-bestfriend' because I really treat her like a sister to me. I don't know what happened or why we became bestfriends but during the first day of school we just had a growing attraction between each other. Not a romantic attraction though. Because if I like her as in a like-like girlfriend, I would have asked her out now. I didn't even know why I have a girl bestfriend, I'm not even comfortable with a girl's presence but with her...everything seems to be alright.
I looked at my friends who are online and hell yes! She's online! I tapped her name on the chat list and a private message box appeared. I started tapping/typing on my phone and I hope she would not 'seenzone' me because that really sucks.
Nico Jove: Hey Thals.
Thalia Grace: Nicks! Just saw ur picture! Hilarious isn't it?
Nico Jove: Very hilarious and humiliating. Blame Artemis
Thalia Grace: Aww :(( Don't be sad. Who's Artemis?
Nico Jove: My cousin who posted the pic.
Thalia Grace: Heck, she and I could be bestfriends!
Nico Jove: You're still my bestfriend right? Even if I become gay?
Thalia Grace: So you're planning to be a gay?
Nico Jove: Of course not! I'm just asking if you would still accept me for who I am.
Thalia Grace: Yeah. Still accept you. Even if you're a homosexual.
Nico Jove: No I'm not! Still bestfriends?
Thalia Grace: Nico..I...I think we need to cut this relationship.
Nico Jove: I'm not in a relationship with you.
Thalia Grace: Stop the sarcasm Nico. I'm serious.
Nico Jove: Sorry. Continue.
Thalia Grace: I'm sorry but I think we need to cut our 'bestfriend' relationship right now.
Nico Jove: Wait, Thalia, Why?
Thalia Grace: My mom is planning to move me to some school.
Nico Jove: And you're going to allow it? I thought you're Thalia Grace! The Rebel?
Thalia Grace: Look, Nico, I know I've been rebelling to mom since she is a prostitute but...So far..She's been raising me well. She's moving me to a new school. A greater school than this one.
Nico Jove: So you wanted to move?
Thalia Grace: No! Nico its just that for once, I wanted to follow my mother's decisions!
Nico Jove: And with that decision...You are leaving me?
Thalia Grace: Sorry, Nico...sorry..
Nico Jove: Thalia.
Thalia Grace: I know, Nico, I'm sorry.
Nico Jove: Thalia please. Stop apologizing. Its not you. It's fine with me. You can go move. But Thalia I still want you to be my bestfriend. Even if you move far away. I still want you to be my bestfriend. No other but you.
Thalia Grace: If that's what you want then. I'm okay with it.
Nico Jove: Thanks. We can still communicate through FB or texting or maybe I could visit you.
Thalia Grace: Sure. GTG now. Bye.
Nico Jove: Bye. Thalia Grace. Advanced Merry Christmas.
She did not replied me back nor did any sign of 'seen' was seen in the chat box. She went offline without reading my last message. I got depressed by the fact that she's moving. But...I need to accept it. It's her decision to follow her own mother's rules. And I cannot stop her from doing that. Now, Nico, This is not the time to be like this. It's Christmas!
Let's just focus back to the Just Dance
Percy's P.O.V.
So the 'Zeus' and 'Hades' group finished their song. And it is now our turn. But before I went in the front with a bunch of kids (Yes, Hermes is a kid) Triton, my brother, was announcing the scores. The song that we chose is 'What Makes You Beautiful' by One Direction (requested by Katie that Dionysus protested but before Katie could cry, Dion agreed) And besides there are no other songs that I think will be appropriate to 3 boys and 1 girl. So why not make Katie a boy? And we will not choose a song with 4 girls (Not like the song that Nico danced) of course...so we settled for the 4 boys.
"I was pretty glad that you four chose Crucified as your song." Triton said, While Hephaestus uses his calculator to get the average scores. The four (Athena, Ares, Apollo, Artemis) looked at each other and shrugged then went to the four-seated couch. They gestured for the Hades' siblings to get out of the couch but none of the four would move. Or even notice them since they are so engrossed on what they are doing. Melinoe was painting her nails. Macaria using her tablet. Bianca doing some texting and Nico is online at FB.
"Oh, Are you four going to sit here?" Macaria asked sweetly, By the guess of the attitudes of the Zeus' siblings. I already knew who would replied next. And my bet is that it is either of the twins. And I am sure it is going to be a sarcastic remark to her statement.
"No, No, We are just going to stand here while you four are holding up your gadgets." Artemis rolled her eyes, And crossed her arms. I guess she was pretty irritated by the fact that they are not so 'generous' on giving them some seats when they are so exhausted from dancing.
"Oh very well then. Sisters, hold up your gadgets." Macaria said, none of them stood up to gave them seats.
"Since when did I became a 'sister'?" Nico asked, holding down his iphone.
"Since you were born." Melinoe answered, blowing on her nails so that the pedicure would dry off.
"Macaria...Melinoe...Would you please leave the couch so my siblings and I could sit?" Athena kindly asked, Fluttering her eyelashes. She has this sick, innocent, childish tone present at her sentence awhile ago. Nico and Bianca quickly left. Was it because that Athena's puppy face is working...or was it because...Oh, shit, Ares is glaring at the them.
"No. You find your own way to s-"
"Macaria...Melinoe..." Ares warned, they jumped and went out of the couch. Melinoe almost spilling her nail polish and Macaria almost dropping her tablet. But I heard them whispered to each other as they ran.
"Gosh, Why are their glares so..deathly. Ugh! We've been practicing death glares right Melinoe but they...they don't even have efforts to do that." Macaria whispered to Melinoe as they ran to get some monoblocs so they could sit on it. Why didn't we just do that? Why didn't we just go and get some monoblocs so that we weren't sitting at the floor. But, I wondered, where are the monoblocs coming from?
"Agreed, Sister. Now lets go to the storage room and get some monoblocs so we could sit on it." Melinoe said, Oh the storage room. Yes, there is a storage room in the second floor. Where all the etcetera are in there.
"Ehem, So Percy...Start the Just Dance, Will you?" Triton asked, I nodded. I gestured for Hermes, Katie and Dionysus to went up in the front. And I hold the number 1 wii remote so I glided my hand along the screen and reached for the song 'What Makes You Beautiful'. Our position is like this: Me, Hermes, Dionysus and Katie at the last.
You're insecure, Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk the do-o-o-or
Don't need to make-up, to cover up
Being the way that you are is en-o-o-ough.
"Ugh, Dionysus, You're stepping on my feet!" Katie whined as we continued dancing. I looked around for a short time and saw that they weren't actually interested on seeing us dance like this. It was like nobody was watching. But they were jamming. I don't know where the hell the guitar that Apollo was playing came from. He was matching the song. While the others shout out the lyrics. Mostly Bianca.
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
By this time, everyone was singing. More like shouting.
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know, You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now, I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know, You don't know you're beautiful
Oh-oh, That's What Makes you beautiful
And so the jamming continues with a hyper-active Bianca.
"Bianca, You're a directioner?" I asked, after dancing. I was pretty glad that the Zeus' siblings were generous enough to let us sit in the four-seated couch. Not like the Hades' siblings. Bianca was pretty obvious that she is a directioner. The way her face gleamed up when she heard the song and when everyone was singing it. She was so happyyyyyyyyyyy. I guess so.
"She's a directioner. Lots of poster of the GayD are posted at her wall." Nico said, not glancing off from his phone. He was playing 2Fuse yet he could still participate in conversations. Amazing.
"Hey! One Direction are not gay!" Bianca protested, hitting her brother on the shoulder. But Nico didn't seem to mind. He's so concentrated on 2Fuse. I bet he already scored a million in there.
"Agreed." Apollo said, joining in the conversation while tuning his guitar. I turned to him.
"Where did the guitar came from?" I asked, He looked at me and then at the guitar. Again and again. Me. Guitar. Me. Guitar. And in the end he just shrugged.
"Magic." He told me, Artemis smacked him in the head.
"What?" He asked, rubbing his head.
"There's no such thing as magic you dimwit!" Artemis said, You know...it was like yesterday night they got into a serious fight but now..they're normal. Yeah. This is the normalcy of the family. Craziness runs in the veins.
"I was joking with him." Apollo stated, Artemis got a face of: Oooohhhhhhh. 0 and nodded.
"So what are the scores?" Athena asked to Hephaestus. Who was still scribbling. Eventually, she got impatient and went to Hephaestus and snatched his paper.
"HEPHAESTUS! You're math is so wrong! Why the hell are our average is multiplied by 4? The average is the final score! You-"
"Sorry! Math is not my best! I prefer science than Math!" Hephaestus defended. Athena sighed and threw the paper to him.
"Ugh. Everyone. The scoring did not end up well. So there's no winner. So sad." Athena said, Groans answered her. Telling that everything was useless. Well, for me, its not useless. Its fun. I stood up and went to get the wii remote again. So everything's a fluke then. I'll Just Dance again at the Just Dance. Get it? Just Dance at Just Dance? Not funny. Corny isn't it?
I waved my wii remote through the TV and selected a song. This is actually my favorite song. I am quite fond of dancing. At first, I'm not but there's my girl bestfriend whose name is Annabeth Chase who told me that I have good dancing skills and that I should improve it. I was actually inspired when she said that. I kinda relate to Jason Mraz's song: Lucky. I hope I could sing it to her someday: Lucky, I'm in love with my bestfriend.
But I'm just too shy, I guess.
Anyway back to the dancing.
Comme te po'
Comme te po'
Comme te po' capì chi te vò bene
Si tu le parle 'mmiezzo americano?
Quando se fa l'ammore sotto 'a luna
Come te vene 'capa e di: "I love you!
As soon as everyone heard the intro, the family hall went silent. Watching me as I dance. Maybe I really got the moves.
Pa pa l' americano
Pa pa l' americano
Pa pa l' americano
"Percy! Percy! Percy!" Everyone cheered.
Melinoe's P.O.V.
It was kinda good. Everyone still had fun even if the competition's off. My sister, Bianca, went after Percy. Dancing Super Bass by Nicki Minaj. Everyone was rapping.
This one's for the boys with the boomin system
Top down, AC, with the coolin system
And when he come up in the club, he be blazin up
Got stacks on decks like he's savin up
Bianca was a pretty good dancer too. But he could not match Percy. Percy really has the talent. Next one was Katie with Call Me Maybe-By Carly Rae Jepsen
Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So Call me maybe
Again. Everyone was jamming. Maybe except for some guys like Ares and Hephaestus. They're a bit silent. They said something happened between them but Mom and Dad kept it a secret. And me and my siblings were not much curious or gossipers so we did not ask them further more. If its a secret..then it will be their secret.
Here are the next playlists:
Ketchup song-Me and Macaria
Everybody needs somebody to love-Hermes and Dionysus
Run the show-Artemis and Athena
Rock Lobster-Bianca and Nico
Superstition-Ares
Moves Like Jagger-Apollo
And here is the last one: Our brother, Nico. Trying to regain back the trust of us him being not gay. I'll still accept him though even if he is gay. He's my brother or maybe sister. He's now dancing..
Cause all I need
Is a beauty and a beat
Who can make my life complete
It's all about you,
When the music makes you move
Baby, do it like you do
Seriously, Nico? Beauty and a beat? Now you have just proven that you are gay. Justin Bieber is gay. How could you?!
"Nico? Are a belieber?" Bianca asked, disgusted.
"No I'm not!" He shouted back. While dancing. A different voice popped in the room. Which scared all of us to hell.
"Oh, Gods, Nico you're gay?!"
"Aunt Hestia?!" All of us shouted, there on the corner, was Aunt Hestia. Arms crossed watching us. She has an apron in her dress. I guess she was just cooking and its time for us to eat dinner now. YES! A blackmail to Nico! We'll tell Father that Nico is gay!
"No Aunt Hestia! I am not gay! Please don't tell Father because I am not!" Nico said, he stopped dancing as well. He's now kneeling to our aunt. I winked at Artemis and she took out her phone and silently snapped a picture of Nico begging. Another blackmail. Nico is so full of blackmail today. Oh, Nico!
"Oh, Fine, I'll keep it a secret that you're gay okay?" Hestia sweetly asked, Eyeing us too. We nodded.
"Yes, We'll keep it!"
"Now Dinner guys!"
Time skip (An hour eating. And then two hours of resting. Around 3 hours later)
"So Just Dance again?" Hermes asked, we're all at the Living Room resting after eating. A bit of chat too. And bickering. All of us have gleamed smiles as Hermes asked to Just Dance again but you know...Adults. They just had to ruin the fun.
"No! All of you. Lights off now!" Demeter said, All of us went up to our respective rooms. Which me and Macaria to second floor. But before I slept, I opened the door ever so slightly to see if there is some people in the Entertainment hall outside our room and to my surprise...

OH MY GOSH IS THAT DAD, UNCLE P AND UNCLE Z DANCING LIVIN' LA VIDA LOCA?!
*AT THE ATTIC*
Bianca's P.O.V.
"Movie Night guys?" Artemis asked, getting some CD's. We all agreed. She held up two CD's. One scary and one action. Yes, there is a TV up here. Everyone was now at their beds, sitting and waiting for some movie to be slotted in, inside the DVD player.
"Divergent or The Conjuring?" She asked, Lots of shouts came. I'm voting for Divergent. I read its book and its good. I'm not much fan of horror but I'm good with it. Nico and I even watch 'Saw' during Friday Night. But for now I'm on with Divergent.
Just then, I received a text from my sister. Melinoe:
From: Melinoe
Bianca! The Adults are playing Just Dance! OMG! You should see how hilarious are they! xD Night :*
Suddenly, I had this crazy thought. Hey, why not watch Mom and Dad and the adults dance in Just Dance SECRETLY? How does that sound epic right? So I asked them this:
"Guys! I think I know what kind of movie we're watching!"
That's a wrap. OH GOSH my fingers!
sorry, as much as I wanted to reply the reviews...my fingers they really ache now...SORRY! A reason too why I am not writing so much descriptive at this chapter. Sorry for that. Hey this is a pretty long chapter! I've worked so hard on this! I've tried writing it as funny as I can...but it seems my humorous instincts were...letting me down.
I read this chapter and kinda thought it was corny...Tell me in the reviews if you found something 'funny' in this 'very corny' chapter. Oh and here are the songs that I used today or mentioned:
-Oops I did it again
- Crucified
-What Makes You Beautiful
-We Speak No Americano
-Super Bass
-Call Me Maybe
-Ketchup song (Asereje ja de je)
-Eveybody needs Somebody to Love
-Run the Show
-Rock Lobster
-Superstition
-Moves Like Jagger
-Beauty and a beat
-Livin La Vida Loca
And all of that songs are in the dance list of Just Dance 4! Look I do not own Just Dance, nor any of this songs, nor the characters of the Percy Jackson. All I own is the plot and their OOCness.
Review guys! (Do you think we could reach to 100 reviews? I hope so too! We have 36 reviews now...so maybe..)
