'For the last time, Apollo, stop calling my hunters the 'Immortal Fighter chick gang!'

'You keep calling my musicians the Yodeling Musical Darlings. It is only fair.' Artemis rolled her eyes. 'Tss. Well, have fun driving your sun chariot around. See ya some other time!' Apollo quickly hugged her, before she could walk away. 'Call back quickly!' Artemis sighed and smiled. 'Yeah, yeah, will do. Bye bye, brother.'

'See you later!'

Artemis walked out of Apollo's palace. She loved her twin brother, she really did, but he was too clingy sometimes. She collected some stuff from her own palace, before magically transporting herself into the woods. The smell of pinewood in the morning was delicious (her palace on Olympus smelled like pinewood in the morning as well). She summoned her bow and started walking towards the camp where her hunters were resting.

She never had to seek her huntresses. When they were not on a mission, they were not exactly the best at the fine art (So fine a muse for it did not exist) of being quiet. You could literally hear them from a mile away. Right now, she did not only hear the usual talking and screaming of her hunters and Crackling of the bonfire, but also the beat of loud music. She groaned. 'I blame you, brother,' she whispered (Up on Olympus, Apollo wondered why he felt such a cold chill go up his spine).

Artemis marched into camp. 'Girls! What is going on? Have the maenads invaded?' Nobody heard her.

'GIRLS! Why the music!?' She yelled, louder. A girl called Carmelita heard her.

'Lady Artemis! What did you say?' She yelled over the music.

'WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING?'

'We are listening to music!' Carmelita answered, with a 'well, duh' tone in her voice.

'TURN IT OFF!' Carmelita opened her mouth again, but Artemis walked past her. She saw that Thalia was the one holding the radio. 'Thalia, out!' Thalia turned the volume down.

'What? Why?'

'Because you are scaring the animals away!' She felt a hand on her hip.

'Awh, we were just having fun! Want a marshmallow?' Spiriotes, who had laid her hand on Artemis' hip, asked. Artemis took a marshmallow out of the bag Spiriotes held in front of her. 'Girls, you need to make sure there are no monsters ready to attack!'

'You say that everytime you come back from Olympus, a few minutes before you join us in the shenanigans.'

'Iphenginia, no mouthing off! Now, does anybody have any food?' She heard sighs around the campfire. 'There is still some meat,' someone muttered.

'Why don't we order Chinese?'

'Girls!'

'Alright, I'll just bake some meat.'

'No fun.'

'I am going to check my bow.' Slowly, the group started to move around the camp. Artemis bit her lip. Maybe she had been a little harsh on her hunters. She made eye-contact with Thalia. Her head lieutenant bit her lip, while clearly trying not to laugh. The goddess threw her hair over her shoulder. Nevermind. She couldn't do anything without having her girls walking over her anyway.

'... and that's why I think the placebo effect is very strong!' Kelly said, finally ending her way too long 3 A.M. story. Most girls had fallen asleep around the campfire. Artemis had walked away with Thalia, Spiriotes and Carmelita. Slowly, most girls started to fall asleep.

'Thalia, be quiet!'

'Yes, yes!' The girls were focused on a monster that was standing about one-hundred metres away. All of them had their bows with them. Spiriotes put an Arrow on her bow.

'Do we know what kind of monster that is?' Carmelita asked. Artemis nodded.

'Yes. Well, I know what it does, but I might have repressed it's name, doesn't matter, it breathes fire and has some very magical things around its neck that could come in handy with future missions.' Spiriotes nodded and fired her arrow. They heard a cry and a growl. Artemis said a word that I cannot repeat while keeping the family friendly rating, and fired three more times.

'Sippy!'

'Sorry! I thought I could get it!'

'I know, I know, run!' She yelled. The girls disappeared into the forest, Thalia and Carmelita to one side, Artemis and Sippy to the other, trying to circle the monster. It was growling and screaming loudly. Sippy got another Arrow out of her quiver.

Before any of her girls could do anything, Artemis laid an Arrow on her bow and shot. The monster disappeared in a cloud of monster dust. Quickly, the goddess ran over to it. She picked something up from the floor.

Carmelita, Sippy and Thalia stared at her. 'Why did we need to run, then?'

'Because it might have spat a gust of fire to the place were we all stood. Now let's go back to the camp and see if there are any marshmallows left, shall we?'

They started walking to the camp. Carmelita yawned. 'The person who invented marshmallows was a genius.'

'He was a son of Demeter, I believe,' Artemis muttered. 'Not the brightest one, to be honest, but I forgive a lot for marshmallows.' Thalia grinned.

'Like?'

'Don't even think about it, Thalia.'

'Of course not.' But she did, just like Carmelita and Sippy.

The next day, Artemis woke up around seven 'O clock (She never got a lot of sleep. She was a goddess, she did not need it) and immediately noticed that something was going on. It was just too quiet for it to be a usual day (The huntresses were like the campers that way). She got up and looked around. The campfire was still burning a little. She saw most of her girls laying around it, still sound asleep. Yet, some of them were missing - she could feel it.

With the snap of her fingers she changed out of her pajamas and into her regular clothes. She looked around the group and quickly counted all of her recruits. Usually, she had eighty. Now she saw only seventy-seven hunters.

She rolled her eyes and turned around, facing the forest. She closed her eyes and listened. She heard footsteps on her right, somewhere deeper in the forest. She opened her eyes. Dawn was breaking. Quickly, she darted into the forest.

She felt that they were planning something. She kinda expected her hunters to jump out of a tree and land on her shoulders (they had done that before. Apollo had seen it from his sun chariot and had laughed so loudly he almost dropped out of it). She looked around.

'Girls..?'

'I think I hear her...' She heard footsteps scurrying away.

'GIRLS!' There was no answer. Artemis growled and walked quicker.

'Sippy! Be quiet!'

'I am!' Carmelita held her finger to her lips.

It was quiet for the whole of six seconds. Their feet softly hit the forest soil. 'Are we sure we want fried food for breakfast?' Sippy asked. Thalia and Carmelita looked at her.

'Yes,' They said at the exact same time. Sippy swallowed.

'Alright, then.' They ran through the forest, to the nearest Macdonalds (At three kilometres away - not a lot for the hunters). They knew that Artemis was following them (the goddess did not catch up to them - she wanted to know what they were doing), but they went through with it anyway.

They reached the Macdonalds and ran inside. 'Yes, one burger with fries for me please!' Thalia yelled at the cashier. She raised an eyebrow. 'It's... half past seven.'

'So?' the cashier shrugged.

'What do the others want?'

'I want a salad with chicken, please,' Carmelita said (loudly). Sippy softly ordered a normal breakfast with eggs and bacon. After they were done, the cashier looked past them. 'What does the girl with red hair want?'

Horrified, the girls turned around. They saw Artemis standing in the macdonalds. She gave her girls a dark look that did not promise anything good. She turned towards the bored fast food employee.

'I want eggs, bacon and a cookie.' She shuffled towards a booth by the window.

Carmelita stayed behind to collect the food. Thalia and Spiriotes walked towards Artemis. The goddess looked at them without emotion. 'It is more my brothers' style to get fast food at seven thirty A.M.' Thalia gave the goddess her best puppy-dog eyes.

'We thought it would be good for bonding in the group!'

'You're here with just the three of you,' Artemis fired back, while Carmelita walked to the table with their breakfast. Thalia had opened her mouth to say something back to Artemis, but when she saw the goddesses' face upon seeing her breakfast, she decided that Artemis might like it a lot more than she let on.

With their stomachs full, they walked back to their small camp. The other girls had started to wake up. Artemis already smelled the marshmallows. She sighed. 'Maybe I'll ban marshmallows one day,' she whispered to herself, like she wasn't addicted to them as well (She decided not to look at Carmelita's horrified face after she said that).
