Two chapters in one day! :)
"Hey little sis what are you doing here?" Apollo asked when he saw Artemis.
"Oh crap," she said.
She'd been in Wal-Mart buying stuff and she wasn't in the mood to deal with Apollo right now. But Apollo didn't care, so he caught up with her and asked again, "What are you doing here?"
"Just getting stuff."
"Are any of those hot hunters here with you?"
"Stop calling my hunters hot! And no they're not here."
"Oh, guess I'll walk with you then." He smiled happily while Artemis frowned.
"Apollo you're being annoying already, go."
"Why would I do that when I could spend time with my favorite little sister?"
"I am not your little sister!"
"It's okay you don't have to be ashamed, there's nothing wrong with being the youngest," he told her.
"I'm the oldest."
"Okay then, if it makes you feel better you can believe you're the oldest."
Artemis glared at Apollo and he smiled at her.
"You are so annoying, go away."
"Never, what kind of big brother would I be if I left you in the store alone surrounded by strangers?"
"I'm an adult I think I can take myself."
Since Artemis was in her twelve year old form it seemed kind of weird that she was saying she's an adult. A woman next to them overheard her say that and she said, "You look a little young to be an adult, you should probably listen to your big brother."
"See I told you," Apollo told her.
"He's not my big brother!" Artemis yelled.
The woman decided Apollo looked too young to be Artemis' dad so she asked, "Is he you're cousin?"
"No."
"Uncle?"
"No."
"Is he a pedophile?"
"Probably."
"Hey! I'm not a pedophile." Apollo was offended. Pedophiles are creepy weirdoes that sit around at elementary schools looking at kids, and Apollo didn't do that, he sat around at high schools.
"Let's go over here," he said, "I have to get some anti-growth cream."
"Why would you need anti-growth cream?" Artemis asked.
"After I modeled those manties a patch of grass started to grow on one of my butt cheeks."
"Ew! I could've gone my whole life without knowing that." Artemis was disgusted because now she got a disturbing picture of Apollo with a grass butt.
"Ew is right, my butt itches so bad."
"Just get your stuff and let's quit this conversation." Now Artemis would never get that picture out of her mind.
"Alright then, let's make haikus," Apollo suggested.
"Oh no."
"I am Apollo, my butt cheek is growing grass, I miss my old a*s."
"please stop!" Artemis begged.
"It wasn't that bad."
"Yes it was."
So they got Apollo's anti-growth cream along with a lawn mower, and went to the place where the candles were.
"Let's see how these smell." Apollo pulled out a lighter and started lighting up most of the candles.
"Apollo, are you crazy? You're gonna get us kicked out of here!" Artemis exclaimed. She was about ready to tear her hair out.
"No we won't." Apollo shrugged it off and went back to lighting candles.
People that passed by them looked at them strangely.
"What do you people want from me?" Apollo asked dramatically, "Leave me alone!"
No one knew what to say so they hesitated for a second before leaving because they thought Apollo was a lunatic.
Meanwhile Artemis had given up on trying to get her brother to stop being creepy, it was no use.
"Come on quit playing around, I have to go get something else." She said.
So they went to the electronics section and while Artemis was looking at DVD's Apollo went over to a random dude and said, "Hey I haven't seen you in forever."
"Do I know you?" The guy stepped a couple of steps back from Apollo.
"Dude, I thought we were friends. You never call me anymore, what happened?"
"Somebody help me!" The guy shouted before running away because Apollo was acting like they were friends even though they'd never seen each other a day in their life. And when people at weirdly friendly it could only mean one thing, he was a serial killer.
"That was rude."
"That's it I'm leaving!" Artemis headed for the door to leave.
"Artemis wait! I haven't put this snicker bar in layaway yet!"
R&R :)
