For next update:
Ten reviews or/and favorites or/and follows
Sorry for the wait. I just needed a break from writing. During my spring break, a sixth grade student died. His name was John, he was in my science class. I took the time to realize how much a person's death actually impacts me, and everyone else.
On a lighter note(sorry for being so depressing) I am so ready for season three of Young Justice! PLEASE BRING BACK WALLY.
Is anyone else super hyped for the upcoming D.C. Comics movies? I know I am. Nightwing, Wonder Woman, the Harley Quinn movie, etc.
Thalia POV
Thalia got out of Sally's car. Andie's mom was incredibly nice, unlike her own deceased mom. Annabeth, Thalia, and the daughter of Poseidon, Andromeda(Preferredly called Andie) walked to the school, Thalia used the Mist, Grover showed up, and the teachers let them through. Thalia could've sworn she heard Dr. Thorn mutter something about too many demigods.
"Hey, Thalia," Annabeth snapped her out of it. "That DJ looks like Andie. Also, the halfbloods are over there." Thalia glanced up. She looked at the teenager playing songs. He had the same eye color as Andie. She also recognized his carefree grin, thick black hair, tanned skin from time in the sun, and red bandanna. Percy was here. So that must mean...
Astor was here too. Thalia caught his gaze and locked eyes with the green eyed, newly blonde sixteen year old.
Astor POV
Astor froze. He stared at his old best friend. She stared back. How could Thalia be back, alive, living breathing, take your pick,? He saw her die in front of his very eyes, and turn in to the Camp Halfblood border. But this wasn't the old Thalia he knew. No, the daughter of Zeus looked about fifteen, her blue eyes were more piercing, her hair was longer, etc. But, he could test if she was the same if he just walked over there.
Unfortunately, his whole body stiffened, refusing to move.
Petcy's POV
Percy was having fun, jamming the music from the speakers. He glanced over to see how his best friend was doing. Percy recognized his rigid posture. He acted the same way for two weeks after Thalia died. Percy followed Astor's gaze. He was immediately taken aback. Thalia was there, alive! He analyzed that her age was newly-turned fifteen. Percy knew new his best bro needed help.
Sebby's POV
Sebastian heard Percy call him over. He stopped flirting with his science partner and jogged over. Right at that moment, he saw two girls walk in out of the corner of his brown eyes. They both looked fifteen.
One had a stiff posture. Her black hair was braided to her right shoulder. Her black obsidian eyes were intimidating. She wore a silver Parka and black jeans. A silver tiara-circlet thing rested on her head. Odd outfit for school, Sebby thought. She was five foot six.
The other girl had a more easygoing posture, slightly slouching. Her curly golden-blonde hair was in a ponytail. The girl's light blue eyes shined with mischief. She wore a silver, unzipped Parka and sweats. Her sleeveless shirt was ratty, faded dark blue, and read 'Seahawks' in neon green. The girl was pretty short, looking five foot four.
"So whatcha need, boss?" Sebby asked Percy.
"Uh, take over the music. You can switch between my playlist and the students' requests." Percy answered. He got of the DJ booth as Sebby took over.
Percy POV
Percy walked calmly behind Thalia. He noticed her friends were talking to a satyr with a light brown complexion and dark brown hair and goatee.
"Thalia." She didn't move
"Thalia."
"YO, THALIA," Percy said loudly into her ear. She flinched slightly and turned around. She gaped at him.
"Percy?!" She gasped. "You're like six foot one now. You were much shorter last I saw you. Wait, is that a tatoo on your arm?!"
He dodged the second question but grinned grinned. "Now, stop staring at Astor, and talk to my best bro." Percy pulled Thalia closer to Astor after every word. They were forehead to forehead. Astor really was only a couple inches taller than Thalia. Percy slowly back pedaled away from the blushing duo, smirking widely.
Thalia POV
"Um... when did you come back from the dead?" Astor asked, tilting his head.
"A few months ago."
"Oh." Astor said quietly. "I really missed you, Thals. I...I kinda hadareallybigcrushonyouandistilldoandireallywannakissyourightnow." Astor forced all the words out at once.
"You had a crush on me?" Thalia asked.
"Heh... uh yeah, kinda." He said awkwardly.
She smiled. "That's good." Astor gave her the WTF look. "Cause I like you too." She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed the young god. He froze for a second before kissing her back, hands on her waist.
Percy POV
Percy bumped into someone behind him. "Uh, sorry bro..." He turned around and saw two familiar obsidian eyes staring up at him. "Zoe!" He exclaimed and hugged her.
"Hey Percy." Her voice put his real smile on display. She smiled at her best friend.
"You're forgetting someone," A cheeky voice said. Percy turned.
"Violet!" He gave a man hug, grabbing her tan hands and bumping their right shoulders.
"Hey, Big Bro, personal space please. And I don't go by Violet anymore." The daughter of Apollo said. "It's Nikki."
"Where did Nikki come from?" Percy asked.
"Middle name. Nicole."
"Ah."
"So, where are the demigods?" Zoe asked.
"Over there," Percy pointed to the two teens standing off to the side.
"I like that one." Nikki said, smiling devilishly in the halfbloods' direction.
Percy gave her a weird look. "I think he's too young for you, plus your a Hunter."
"Ew. Not Nico, Bianca!"
"She's a lesbian, Perce." Zoe deadpanned.
"Why didn't you tell me?!" Percy looked hurt she choose to withhold this information. He didn't mind she was homosexual, Percy just wished Nikki told him, that's all.
"Percy!" A cry said from the stage. "I need some help here!" Sebby yelled. Percy jogged over, waving at the Huntresses all the way.
Andie's POV
She was looking for Thalia. She knew Annabeth was dancing somewhere in the crowd with Grover. The second she turned around, a seventeen year old boy started talking to Thalia and pulled her into another boy with blonde hair. The weird thing was, the first boy had her same messy black hair and blue green eyes. He then talked to a girl with blonde hair, and one with braided black. He then ran back up to the DJ booth to help the teen with short curly hair and brown eyes.
The blonde boy started talking to her. Then something happened that surprised Andie. Surprise was an understatement. She was astonished when Thalia kissed him. She didn't know who the blonde boy was, but she hoped he would make her happy.
Percy POV
Percy helped Sebastian with keeping the students in line. In the chaos, he saw Astor making out with Thalia. A shit-eating grin pierced his face. He yelled to Astor mentally. Astor!
The blonde looked up. Song?
Yeah.
Okay.
Astor called Nikki over. Percy closed the curtains and set up the stage. He grabbed the electric guitar, Astor got the acoustic guitar, and Nikki set up the drums set. The curtains fell away, and Astor began playing and singing. The limelight shined on him.
I wanna follow where she goes
I think about her
and she knows it
I wanna let her take control
Cause everytime that she get close,
yeah
Percy started singing with Astor.
She pulls me in enough
to keep me guessing,
mmm
Maybe I should stop
ans start confessing
Confessing, yeah
Percy stopped singing to play his guitar. Nikki started playing on the drums.
Oh I've been shaking
I love it when you go crazy
You take all my inhibitions
Baby there's nothing holds me back
You take me places
that tear up my reputation
Manipulate my decisions
Baby there's nothing holding my back
Astor paused. They all kept going.
There's nothing holding me back x2
The beat slowed down
She says that she's never afraid
just picture everybody naked
She really doesn't like to wait
Not really into hesitations
Pulls me in enough
to keep me guessing, whoa
And maybe I should stop
and start confessing
Confessing, yeah
Oh I've been shaking
I love it when you go crazy
You take all my inhibitions
Baby there's nothing holding me back
You take me places
that tear up my reputation
manipulate my decisions
Baby there's nothing holding me back
There's nothing holding me back
The beat slowed to a stop. Astor and Percy played.
Cause if we lost our minds
and we stumbled in the dark
I know we'd be alright
Know we would be alright
If you were by my side
and we stumbled in the dark
I know we'd be alright
Oh no we would be alright
Cause if we lost our minds
and we stumbled in the dark
I know we'd be alright
Know we would be alright
If you were by my side
and we stumbled in the dark
I know we'd be alright
We would be alright
Oh I've been shaking
I love it when you go crazy
You take all my inhibitions
Baby there's nothing holding me back
You take me places
that tear up my reputation
manipulate my decisions
Baby there's nothing holding me back
There's nothing holding me back
I feel so free
when you're
with me, baby
Baby there's nothing holding me back
The students cheered. The young gods grinned and high fived. Nikki got up and the trio dramatically bowed.
Astor walked back to Thalia. Percy and Nikki stayed to play music of his playlist.
Authors note
Hey! The song played was
There's Nothing Holding Me Back by Shawn Mendes. I suggest you listen to it, its pretty good :)
Warning:
If I get backlash from anyone about Nikki being a lesbian, I will be pissed.
