Gabriella's POV
I glared at the woman in front of our little gang. "So let me get this straight, you bring us together so you can bring balance and good to the world?" I stopped for a moment to collect my thoughts and to figure out what I was going to say next. "Balance is nothing. There is no good, there is no evil, there's only gray. You're just plain loony."
I saw Connor smirking at my comment from the corner of my eye, but he stayed silent. Serena's eyes were closed; most likely my frank statement embarrassed her. Both Zane and AJ were grinning in an eerie impersonation of the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland, both looked happy that I spoke out and showed some kind of defiance. Rich just looked ambivalent.
Gaining confidence from AJ and Zane, I looked at the woman who stood in front of us. "Who are you, and why did you bring us here. And again, you're just plain loony!"
The woman didn't say anything about my attack on her sanity, but chose instead to answer my questions. "I am Gaia," the woman said, "and you are all here to unlock your power."
"Gaia?" Serena asked, the squeaking of her voice betraying the seemingly causal question. "So you're saying that all the classical mythology tales are real?" her voice held a hint of awe in it.
Gaia nodded, "Yes, the classical mythological tales are true, although many of them are grossly over exaggerated."
"Okay, how about English for the rest of us?" Zane asked.
Serena turned to Zane, hand on hip, "You know the gods… Zeus, Hermes, Ares, Apollo, Artemeis, and others? The stories about them, classical mythological tales, are otherwise known as myths?" her voice had a hint of irritation in it.
"Oh," was all Zane said, still confused as ever, but he didn't want to make her mad. Just another person to add to his already long list.
I sighed, "No bickering, unless I'm a part of it. Now why don't you," I turned to Gaia, or whatever her name was, "just do what you need to do so we can leave."
She gave me an enigmatic smile, "As you wish," she said, and snapped her fingers, making us disappear and reappear somewhere else.
"What the bleeding hell?" I yelled in surprise and a bit of outrage.
"This is all your fault!" Connor turned to me, yelling.
"It is not!" Jordan jumped to my defense.
"Is too."
"Is not."
"Is too."
"Is not."
"Is too."
"Is not."
"Is too."
"Is not."
"Hold it!" Serena stepped between the two verbally sparring boys. "We do don't need a fight on our hands. We have to get out of here, and we have to use our heads. Now lets work together."
"I won't work with him!" both Jordan and Connor yelled at the same time.
"Oh deal with it!" Zane said over his shoulder, he was too busy talking to AJ, with Rich at her side, to really notice the fight that was taking place.
The squabbling between Connor and Jordan and continued, much to the annoyance of Serena who tried time and time again to get them to stop and make peace. She sent me a pleading look to intervene, and intervene I did.
"Break it up!" I yelled and jumped into the fray. It was a mess of arms, legs, and other appendages. I landed quite a few punches on Connor, not to many on Jordan cause he backed out as soon as I jumped in. By the time we had stopped, we both were muddy, black and blue, but Connor had a cut on him, so I had drawn first blood, therefore ending the fight.
"That hurt!" Connor yelled.
"It supposed to!" I yelled back.
Serena sighed, "Not you two. Can't we all just get along?" she asked, pleading.
"No!" we all shouted at her, many of us grinning. Except for Connor and Jordan of course, they were too busy glaring at one another.
"On another note," AJ said, changing the subject, "which deity do you think we are? You know, since it seems to be that we would have a hell of a lot of power, and all."
Serena's eyebrow furrowed. "I'm not sure," she confessed before flopping down on the ground. "I think that our animal forms may have something to do with it. So can a few of you change?"
I volunteered, as did Rich. As we stood in front of her, as she inspected us, she murmured to herself before lighting up and motioning for us to turn back to humans. "I got Gabriella, it's easy. She's got a quiver and she turns into a doe; she's Artemis. Rich was a little harder, but he turned into an eagle, a golden one to be precise. So my guess is on Zeus."
One by one she had us turn into animals. It was slowly revealed to each one of us who each of our inner beings were.
Jordan, Ares.
Connor, Apollo.
Serena, Selene.
Zane, Hermes.
AJ, Hectate.
As we stood around we looked at each other. "We're special," AJ said finally.
"We always have been," Jordan said, "but this time, we have something to connect us to each other." He then turned to Connor, "Look, I don't like you that much. But I'm willing to put aside my differences if we have to work together," he held out a hand, "what do you say?"
Connor looked down at the offered hand, and then back up to Jordan and then back down again. "I say, truce," they did the manly hug thing.
"Yay!" I said. Everybody looked at me strangely and I blushed, "Lemme guess that wasn't the right thing to say, huh?"
Everyone shook his or her heads and Jordan walked over to me, finally coming to a halt not even a foot away. We looked into each other's eyes as he leaned closer to me. I closed my eyes, hoping for what I thought was coming. "Remember," he whispered once he was less than an inch from my lips, "I'm not kissing you, I'm whispering to your lips."
And then I woke up. Blinking I laid back down turned over and shrieked into my pillow. That was one freaky dream, and my inner mind really wanted to tell me something, huh? Suddenly the phone next to my bed rang. I picked it up quickly.
"Hello?" I asked quickly.
"Gabe, please tell me you had the same dream I just did."
Author's Note: It's done! *grin* and I got the chapters right too! Hehe. There will be a fluff piece that will take place 2 years in the future entitled "A Comedy of Errors" posted around Thurssay of next week for everyone's enjoyment! Now sorry the ending was a bit rushed, I just felt this was a good ending...and please, review!
