Disclaimer: I do not own Greek Myths...
Reni Rena- thanks for the review so much! I love to get feed back at what need help and believe me I need help;)I try to write a lot but it never seems to add up to something...hmmm possibly elaboration...I will think about it thanks!
Gwen-Underhill-thanks I appreciate it...I wasn't sure how people would like it glad to here you like it^^
Princess Amara of Conte: Thanks for the review. I am not Greek nor know many people who are Greek (though come to think of it I do know someone who has gone to Greece...). I will try my best to make sure that if she goes into the any shopping areas, she will have her cousins (who moved there from California some time ago and now permanently live in Greece). I have never really seen pictures of the island part of Greece but I have seen the inland area so I will cross my fingers. If I do have a mistake please tell me and I will quickly edit it(. P.S. I wish there were italics too-_-.
AngellicHuntress: I am obsessed with Greek Mythology as well. Thank you for the review...the story (though can be really hard to write at times) is lots of fun to write.
Arleen: I love writing the plot and different ideas constantly flash into my head, the hardest part is to take the path of an idea that is close to my original plot. I am really bad at editing. Sorry about that. I think I will try harder to make sure my story makes sense to all readers.
Thanks to Kaylee for helping me figure out some editing problems. Come on now! Let's give kaylee a hand. * Applaud * ** **Stand for a dream
Well here is the story:
**Erika was playing hide and seek in the park. "Ready or not, here I come." She looked up as a small child of six. "Now where could Sam and Bob be?" she said out loud. They had to be out there somewhere in the park...**
Erika awoke on Saturday after her confusing dream to her alarm clock. She lay in bed for some time thinking of her trip that would take place that night. She looked at her clock to see 7:00 AM spread across it.
She sighed, and rolled out of bed onto the floor and crawled over to the dresser, her legs numb in tiredness. After she had managed to put some form of comfy sweatpants and a t-shirt on, she went down the stairs now able to stand and walk. Her parents were down stairs eating breakfast.
"Want some pancakes honey?" asked her mom kindly.
"Yes, please! I am starving," she said brushing a loose piece of hair that had escaped her ponytail, out of her face.
"Well, ready for tonight?" her father asked hesitantly clearly slightly unsure of himself.
"Yeah, and I can't wait to actually be in Greece, away from California..." Erika trailed off excitedly. Her mom started to laugh but started to break into a cough when seeing Erika's dad's expression.
"Yes, well do you have things to do on the plane?" asked her mom.
"Well, I am bringing about 20 books, my CD player, many batteries, and some drawing and writing paper," said Erika looking up at the ceiling to try and remember.

Erika had left to go out side and take pictures that would hopefully last over the summer.
Before she had left she had already used 5 pictures of her house and family. All she could do was hope she didn't ruin them.
She walked around everywhere. She walked to the park, school, the beach and then...Brianna's house.
Erika walked up to the step of Brianna's door and rang the doorbell. Brianna answered smiling.
"Hey, come to say your goodbyes have you?" Brianna asked.
"Yep," said Erika taking a picture at random, "and play paparazzi."
"Come on in," said Brianna opening the door fully. For the next couple of hours Brianna and Erika listened to music and talked about the communication of getting to each other.
"Well that leaves phone out of the question." Erika said crossing out that idea of the notepad.
"How about we just stick with the journals before we become broke." Brianna said.
Erika and Brianna finally left the house together to go to Erika's to eat. Then they left for the airport with Erika's parents. Brianna and Erika tried to say everything but Greece while in the car together because it broke both their hearts secretly to not be near each other that summer.
When she made it to her gate, she stopped and her parents each gave her a hug and a kiss. She saw tears in her mom's eyes and it struck her that her mom, though she didn't show it, would miss her as well and wasn't ready to leave her.
Her father grabbed something out of his pocket and said "Here, I got this ring for you. It was at some old type of shop, the man said it stands for balance among us..."
She stared at it. It looked different from the other rings...maybe it was the fact that gold was entwined among the silver ring piece and on the top rest two circles diagonal from each other and then to rectangles crossing over each other. The circles were rainbow like with every color shining out and the rectangles were pure black.
"Thank you," she said smiling purely.
"You better go," her mom said slowly.
"Not before I say good bye," said Brianna jumping nearly on top of her into a bear hug. Brianna her friend since she was in kindergarten and Erika had tripped and fell and Brianna had helped her up...this was the Brianna who had helped her through life. She could only hope she could make it through a summer with out her.
"Well...bye," Erika squeaked out taking the ring off her and holding it tightly.
Erika slowly walked through the connector between the airport and plane. When she found her seat, she sat down and pulled out Aphrodite: Love and Lust then buckled her seatbelt and began to read until she heard over the intercom, "Welcome to flight A2134541, non-stop flight to Athens, Greece. Please prepare for takeoff."
The rest of the plane ride was a blur between reading, music, drawing, and staring into the sky...and sleep.
**Erika continued to look for Sam and Bob but then she saw a forest. "Maybe they are in there," she said. She walked into the forest. The trees made it seem dark and eerie but yet it also seemed magical. She eventually forgot hide and seek and was going down a dirt trail. She had to continue.**
"Passengers, we are now over Athens, Greece. It is Sunday June 25 it is currently 9 pm and 60 degrees Fahrenheit. I hope you enjoyed you flight. Please prepare for landing."
Erika lifted up her window cover and looked out to see small lights below. It was dark but what she could see she though was wonderful. As for what she couldn't...she couldn't wait to let her eyes look upon.
