A to Z with the di Angelos

Parental Life of Heroes

19. T is for Training [September 2029]

It was an unwritten rule that children could only attend camp at the age of five and older. Jimmy and Silly had returned home from their first summer at camp a few weeks ago and Silly was displeased by it. It had been close to a disaster. They teased her for being a princess and said she belonged more to the Aphrodite Cabin than deserving to be a child of the Percy Jackson. She didn't understand that. Her mommy was Percy di Angelo and of course he was special because he was her mommy, but why shouldn't she deserve to be her mommy's daughter? She knew her mommy loved her and called her his princess – and that was good. So she disliked that they thought differently.

"Come, come, Schwesterherz!", exclaimed Jimmy loudly, jumping up and down.

Silly didn't question it. Jimmy was easily excited and if he wanted her to come, it was best to follow him. Getting up, she let her twin-brother pull her along. Sneaking out of the house wasn't hard, dad was at work and mom was busy with little Jackie. For being a tiny baby, he demanded a lot of attention and made a lot of chaos. But he was kinda cute, so it was easy to forgive him.

"What are we doing here?", asked Silly confused when they reached their mom's workplace.

Jimmy just grinned broadly as he grabbed Silly's hand and pulled her inside. In one of the training rooms was Clarisse Rodriguez standing, all training clothes and serious look on her face. In front of her sat her youngest child, Silly's friend Carry, together with Fred Chase. The two other children turned toward them and grinned at the twins, waving wildly. Clarisse clapped loudly.

"Well then, students. Let's pair up and grab one of the training swords!", ordered Clarisse.

"What are we doing here?", asked Silly confused as Fred and Carry got up.

"Jimmy said you were sad because they teased you at camp", explained Carry as she handed Silly a sword. "So I told mommy and mommy said you could train with us. Then you can show them that you're strong like your mom and awesome. Mommy will teach you to be awesome."

"Atta, girl", laughed Clarisse, patting her daughter's head.

Carry grinned broadly up at her mother while Silly frowned thoughtful. She turned to look at her twin-brother who was already happily sparring with Fred. Leave it up to Jimmy to fix things for Silly again. She smiled as she looked at him. He always knew what to do.

"And when you taught us how to fight, they won't make fun of me again?", asked Silly skeptically, turning to look up at the adult. "I'll be strong like mommy and no one will make fun of me?"

Clarisse sighed as she knelt down next to Silena, looking the girl deep in the eyes. "Your mom, he's strong now, but he wasn't always either. There was a time he had been teased and made fun of too. But he trained hard and became a great hero with many friends. You can too, kiddo."

Silly brightened at that, back straightening. She couldn't believe that her mom had ever been anything but totally awesome and strong. That wasn't possible, because no one was more awesome than her mommy. Still, assuming that maybe auntie Clarisse was right, then her mom had managed what Silly wanted. So since she was her mom's daughter, surely she could do it too.

"Okay. Tell me what I need to do to become awesome!", exclaimed Silly.

She grabbed her wooden sword and turned her full attention on auntie Clarisse. So far, she hadn't shown much interest in training. After all, she was only six, so her parents didn't push the matter either. If their kids didn't want to train early on, they didn't have to. But now she had a motivation to learn. She was not a push-over. Just because she liked jewels and collected pearls and wore pretty dresses did not mean she was a push-over. Someone could be pretty and still a hero, her mommy had said so, because she was named after such a hero. There had been a hero named Silena who had been beautiful and brave. Silly aimed to be just that. Because if she could be brave, then she could protect her brother and no one would make fun of her and her twin. Grinning broadly, Silly did everything as Clarisse told her to, having a fun afternoon with her brother and friends.


Author's note: Slight updating-announcement. Due to my classes starting again, I will not be able to maintain the schedule I had going on for the past months (I genuinely have no idea how I was able to do that to begin with), so this story will move to a permanent place on Wednesday and the other stories will keep rotating, but only on Saturdays from now on.

Next chapter for this story is again featuring Silly and Jimmy and how they explore Olympus ;)
