Hey guys! I'm so very sorry about not updating sooner, I feel absolutely terrible. I also got sick this week and school is taking up so much of my time. Thanks to all of you that have encouraged me and wished me well in school I love you guys! Oh and like said to me, Good luck in school guys, we'll survive!

I don't own the songs You and I by Lady Gaga or Far Away by Tyga.

Aphrodite awoke to the sound of her alarm clock.

She groaned but opened her eyes anyway as she started to feel for the snooze button.

She sat up and gave a cute yawn, as the Love Goddess' brain started to clear she realized what day it was.

She turned her head so fast it made her neck crack.

May 15th her pink calendar read. Aphrodite sucked in a large breath and let it out in a huge "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Two seconds later Athena and Artemis came rushing into her room, still clad in their pajamas, "Aphrodite what's wrong?" They questioned at the same time.

They looked around for a threat of some sort, and when they didn't see one, they turned to their half-sister annoyed.

"Don't you two realize what day it is?" Aphrodite asked as she bounced around the room.

"Um Friday?" Artemis asked naively.

Athena sighed and left the room, muttering something about overdramatic family members.

"No silly today's the dance! AHHH I can't wait!" Aphrodite gushed. She skipped out of the room, leaving a tired Moon Goddess behind.

It was makeup central in Aphrodite's room.

Artemis was strapped to a chair and she was reluctantly putting on some mascara, all the while scowling at herself in the mirror.

Athena sat off to the side staring out of the windows with a faraway look in her gray eyes; Aphrodite had already finished with her.

Demeter was helping Hera curl her long tresses while Aphrodite did her makeup. The Goddesses all looked amazing in the dresses that they had picked out a couple of weeks prior.

Athena was wearing a floor length, silver silk, strapless dress. It hugged her figure beautifully and matched her eyes perfectly. It had some black beads on the chest area; it was very simple but elegant. Athena had straightened her long hair and put on a sliver headband, she also had on some silver strappy heels.

The Goddess of the Harvest looked gorgeous in a brown earthy dress. It had two straps that wrapped around her neck and was floor length too. She also had on some black heels and her hair was in natural waves.

Hera was in a simple white and gold corset style number. It was slightly poofy at the bottom and it looked like something fit for a queen, her hair was curled and she was wearing a tiara, she was also wearing gold flats.

Artemis was clad in a dark blue strapless dress. It was corset style too and had some silvery accents to go with it. She had curled her hair and put it in a messy but cute half up do. She was wearing silver flats.

Finally the Love Goddess was dressed in a short, blood red dress. It was silk and she was wearing red stilettos to go with it. Her hair was straight and her makeup was as perfect as always.

After one last look in her mirror Aphrodite blew herself a kiss and walked out of the room, her heels click clacking on the wooden floor.

The rest of the Goddesses walked out slowly into the living room.

A second later a knock was heard at the door.

"Come in." Hera yelled as she began to stand from where she sat on the couch.

The Gods entered the room, all wearing tuxedos and carrying confident expressions. As soon as they saw the girls though they got tongue tied.

Zeus approached Hera first and he offered her the corsage.

"Um you look beautiful dear." He stammered as he stared at her. Hera gave a small smile and thanked him.

Ares went over to his girlfriend and instantly captured her cherry red lips in a demanding kiss. "You look smoking Babe." He breathed into her neck. Aphrodite giggled and hugged his neck.

Apollo walked over to Artemis and studied her dress through narrowed eyes. "Hey sis, don't you think that's a bit revealing?" He asked her bluntly.

Artemis scowled at her brother and crossed her arms defensively. "No, I don't Apollo, but thank you for your concern." She told him icily.

Hades reluctantly walked over to Demeter and looked at her with a bored expression. "Here." He handed her the corsage, all but shoving it into her hands.

"Thank you." Demeter said in the same tone. And those were the only words that were exchanged between them that night.

Hermes walked over to Artemis and blushing slightly handed her the corsage.

"You look nice Artemis." He mumbled.

She gave him a stiff smile as she took the corsage from his hands. "Thank you Hermes."

Poseidon walked over to Athena and gave her the box that contained her corsage.

"Nice dress Owl Face." He complimented.

She made a face at the nickname but didn't comment. Hephaestus was the only missing from the room and that was because he'd left earlier to pick up his date.

A moment of awkward silence before Apollo yelled out randomly, "Who's ready to party?" The only answer he got was the slap on the back of the head from Artemis.

They rented a limo for that night, it was really Aphrodite's idea, and as they all stepped out of the car the students stared at them.

"Wow, déjà vu anyone?" Hermes asked them as they walked in direction of the building marked GYM.

As they stepped through the metal doors the song that was playing was 'You and I' by Lady Gaga.

"Ooh I love this song let's dance!" Aphrodite squealed as she pulled Ares away onto the dance floor. The whole inside of the gym was decorated with strobe lights, a disco ball and tons of multi colored balloons.

"So cliché." Hades drawled disgustedly.

"Let's go find a table." Artemis suggested, as she began to walk towards the tables that had been set up. They all took seats and began to talk about random things. Suddenly Hades nudged Poseidon. "Look." He gave a subtle nod to the table over next to theirs.

Thalia sat in between Percy and Nico, looking as though she would rather be anywhere but here. The Daughter of Zeus was wearing a black and blue short dress. It was strapless and flared out to a poofy skirt. Thalia, instead of wearing heels, had on some knee high, black glittery Converse on. Her spiky hair was straightened and slightly teased.

Percy and Nico were both wearing simple black tuxedos. Suddenly a new song started up, and Zeus surprised Hera by asking her to dance.

They both left and soon got lost in the sea of people. "I'm bored." Apollo whined as he looked around the dark gym. "Ooh never mind, catch you guys later."

He waved and quickly left in the direction of a girl that was standing near the punch bowl. Artemis shook her head and sighed, her brother was such a flirt. Hermes cleared his throat next to her and she turned to him. "Um you want to go get some air?" His voice sounded nervous and squeaky. Artemis gave him a weird look but nodded. They both left in direction of the doors.

"So that leaves us." Athena muttered disinterested. After a second of consideration Poseidon stood up and offered the Goddess of Wisdom his hand. "Let's dance?" He asked her, already expecting her to say no. "Sure." Athena murmured as she took his arm. "Oh yeah and leave us here all alone." Demeter complained under her breath.

'…And now she's far, far away and I'd do anything just to see her face…'

After a few more songs Aphrodite was sweating. She grabbed her boyfriends hand and stepped out into the fresh spring air.

"Ah that feels nice." She sighed contently.

Ares grabbed her hand and pulled her in direction of the swings. They stayed quiet for a moment both observing the cloudy night. Aphrodite slowly swung back and forth never removing her hand from Ares'. None of them noticed the thing that was stalking them.

"Well that was fun." Poseidon commented as he sat down.

"Don't expect me to do that ever again, Fish Face." Athena muttered as she fanned herself.

Poseidon shot her a smirk before he turned back to look for his Son and Niece and Nephew. Perseus was sitting at the table texting on his silver phone, probably Annabeth.

He looked around for Nico and Thalia and finally found them near the shadows. They were dancing together, slowly.

"Aww look at that." Aphrodite cooed, as Athena and Poseidon nearly jumped out of their seats.

"Gah! When did you get here?" Athena asked as she tried to calm her racing heart.

Aphrodite had said the words right in her ear and the look in the Love Goddesses eyes told Athena that Nico and Thalia weren't the only things she was cooing about.

"We just got back in, it seems like it's going to rain." Ares commented as he pulled his girlfriend into his lap.

"Ugh where's Zeus?" Hera questioned as she took a seat next to her brother.

"Wasn't he with you?" Poseidon asked her curiously.

"Yes but he told me he was going somewhere, probably to spy on Nico and Thalia." Hera said as she crinkled her delicate nose.

"Yeah he would do that." Poseidon muttered while smirking.

At that same moment a boy approached their table confidently. "Hi Alana, would you like to dance?" He asked the Goddess. Aphrodite giggled at the look on both Athena and Poseidon's face.

"Oh um yeah sure." Athena slowly got up and took the boy's outstretched hand.

"Does she even know him?" Poseidon asked a bit angrily when they had left.

"Does it really matter?" A cool voice asked from Poseidon's left. Hades had just materialized from the shadows.

"I guess not." Poseidon answered while frowning. Zeus slowly approached their table and took a seat next to his wife.

"They went outside…Your son better keep his hands to himself Hades." Zeus threatened his brother. Hades rolled his eyes and decided to not respond.

Demeter stepped out from the dance floor and joined the table.

"Where's Hephaestus?" She asked her family.

"Somewhere around here, he was dancing with a mortal girl, April." Hera commented while pointing to the dance floor.

Demeter nodded and took a seat in the space that was left at the already crowded table. Suddenly Apollo ran over to them, his face was pale.

"Artemis, outside help!" He yelled as he turned to run in direction of the field.

The Olympians all looked at each other and ran out of the gym following Apollo. Near the fence were the cluster of trees were at, stood Artemis and Hermes trapped by a huge Hellhound.

"Artemis!" Apollo yelled out, his voice echoing across the field.

"What in Tartarus is that thing doing here Hades?" Hera screeched at her brother.

Hades frowned deeply and he closed his eyes for a moment as he pointed at the huge black dog.

Nothing happened, in fact it got worse.

The Olympians suddenly found themselves surrounded by a cluster of monsters.

"Styx what now?" Zeus cursed as he stood over Hera protectively.

"What else? We kill them of course!" Hades replied with a growl. A Hellhound lunged at Hades and before anyone else could react the mutt was dead on the ground, a golden sword lying next to it.

Poseidon gave a deep sigh and bent to pick up his sword. It started to drizzle and all of a sudden a gasp rang out. "What the heck are you?"

Ooh la la, who found out?

Next chapter will be better I promise, remember I wrote this when I was sick, so please take pity! Just kidding. Review guys, I love you all!
