Answers to reviews:
me-myself-&-I:
Thanks for your review! And also, I've got a reply to your review to
Jay's New Haircut: I know, this story doesn't have much meaning but
it's comedy and people like comedy, right?
Christiankikyo: yes, I know, I've already got my 63 reviews. After updating, I checked my email 2 hours later and I've already reached 62 reviews! ("Oh crap!")
Kittenscar: Oh I wish I was the script writer! Thanks for the comment, though. D Yes, Orlando should be falling in love with Theresa but - ah! I'm going to give away half of the plot! TT
The Wizard of Kazath: Yes, I am stubborn but then again, I got more than I thought I would! XD Oh don't worry, Theresa's not going to go out with all of them!
PS (FOR HIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHI/SNOWFLUFF): You now owe me TWO reviews for this!
Orlando, Orlando, Orlando
"We need help, Hera." Theresa said to the Queen of immortals. "The warehouse is on the other side of town and going there by car will take hours."
It was two days after the mysterious kidnap of Jay and Herry and the gang were getting restless at the fact that they couldn't act until Orlando was updated on everything that was going on.
"What about Odie's flying plane?" Hephaestus asked.
"Broken," Odie yawned. "I crashed in into a tree."
"I thought you said you got to level 9," Neil said accusingly, not looking up from his mirror.
"Well, yeah but-"
"Guys," Theresa reminded them. "We've still got to get on the other side of town."
Hera sighed and got up. "I am well aware on what is going on, Theresa." She turned to Apollo. "Could you please get Orlando here?"
Apollo looked surprised. "Orlando? Are you sure-"
"I know you don't like him but he was sent by the oracle to help and right now, any help we will take." Hera interrupted.
The God of Sun looked rather angry but reluctantly went to fetch Orlando. Atlanta watched him leave and then asked. "Why doesn't Apollo like Orlando?"
"I'm not sure," Hera admitted.
"Maybe it's because Orlando might be challenging Apollo's music with the lyre." Odie reasoned. "After all, he is the descendant of Orpheus."
This seemed to make sense but Atlanta was still confused about one part. "But Orpheus was Apollo's son. Why would Apollo be jealous of the descendant of his son?"
Theresa thought Atlanta might be getting somewhere but before she could talk, Apollo returned, rather grumpily, leading Orlando.
"Atlanta!" Orlando and Atlanta hugged each other fiercely. Both Apollo and Archie were looking annoyed with this but Artemis smiled at the young boy.
"Hello," She greeted him and shook his hand.
Orlando smiled back. "It's really nice here," He commented and returned to Hera. "Did you call, ma'am?"
Hera also smiled at the polite boy. "Yes, we need a way to reach the other side of town. However, cars will take a long while, there are now planes suitable for somebody to drive and walking is simply out of the question."
"Couldn't you get Hephaestus to drive a plane? I believe he's very skilled."
"Sorry, can't," Hephaestus replied. "Against school rules, but thanks for the compliment."
Orlando was silent for a while, thinking. Finally, he said. "I can drive a private jet. Maybe I can help."
Theresa looked at him. "You know how to drive a jet?" Orlando nodded. The red haired teenager screamed with excitement. "Excellent, thank you so much!"
"No problem," Orlando shrugged and turned to Hephaestus. "Ok Heph, lead me to your workshop."
As everybody was leaving the room, Artemis grabbed Atlanta on the shoulder. "Wait," She whispered.
When everybody exited, Atlanta asked. "What's up?"
Artemis nodded to the door. "Are you falling in love?" She teased.
Atlanta blushed and admitted. "Yeah, he's sweet and totally cool." (A/N: You guys already know who they're talking about, right?)
"He is hot," Artemis agreed. "And very much like you. I really think you two go together."
"Thanks," Atlanta smiled. The two left the room and followed the others.
When they got there, Orlando, Theresa and Odie were already in a huge jet. Archie was climbing on with the help of Odie. "Atlanta!" He waved at her. She climbed up the ladder and hoisted herself into a seat next to Archie.
"Hi," She said, buckling herself in. "So, how long is this ride?"
"It should be around 30 minutes, at the very least." Orlando called from the pilot's seat.
The gods and goddess down there were waving as the jet took off.
OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO
There was a groaning noise as Jay began to stir. He shook his head and checked out his place. All around him, there were bricks and stones and to Jay's right, he could see a hill of sand. To his left, Herry was also waking up.
"Where am I?" He asked thickly.
"I'm not sure," Jay replied. "But wherever we are, it sure isn't a 5 star hotel."
Herry shook his head. "Man, I feel like I was hit by a car!"
"Same here," No matter what Jay did, he just couldn't clear up his vision. It still clouded his eyes and his brain pounded inside his skull.
"Ah, you're awake!"
The two boys turned around and saw a figure standing next to them.
"C-Cronus?" Herry mumbled.
The god grinned and stepped in front of the boys. "Just think," He breathed in the air. "Soon, I will have triumphed."
"What do you mean?" Jay asked; his eyes half closed.
Cronus grinned evilly and said. "It's hard to deny love, isn't it?" He asked.
Jay almost asked what he meant when it suddenly hit him. "No!" He gasped as his vision was fading again. Beside him, Herry had already gone limp. "No, not the-"
He dropped his head on Herry's shoulder, loosing all consciousness and memory of what just happened.
OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO
After 35 minutes, Orlando was lowering his jet down.
In the back, Neil, Theresa, Archie and Atlanta were playing Monopoly (as always). Atlanta landed on one of Archie's property. "Ha, you owe me 25 bucks!" Archie teased her.
Atlanta reluctantly counted out 25 dollars and was about to put them into Archie's outstretched palm. But before she placed it in, Atlanta leaped up and ran away.
"Hey!" Archie cried out indignantly and chased after her. Neil and Theresa shrugged and continued the game.
Atlanta ran into the storage room with Archie tailing behind. He caught up with her and seized the hand clutching the money. "Give it to me!"
They started wrestling for the money, laughing. Atlanta tripped and Archie landed on top of her. "Oof!"
Atlanta felt something lumpy underneath her and the question on what it was was solved. "Hey!"
"Oh, sorry Odie!" Atlanta giggled as Archie, laughing helped her up. It turned out that Odie was playing his flying game in the storage room. "What level are you on now?"
"14!" Odie cried enthusiastically. "I'm working my way up to level 15!"
"How many levels are there in your game, Odie?" Archie frowned.
Odie opened his mouth to answer when he suddenly paused. "I…actually don't know."
Atlanta and Archie blinked at their nerd friend until Atlanta suddenly remembered and ran off, still holding Archie's money.
"Hey, get back here!" Archie ran after her as the chase began again.
"Ok guys," Orlando called out. "We're going down now."
Everybody buckled up as they were descending down and down and down…
…and suddenly, a huge tree was tossed into the air, right at the jet.
Orlando tried to manoeuvre the jet but not fast enough, the tree smashed the jet with incredible force and the eight found themselves descending once again, down and down and down…
OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO
