Me:Now it my turn again!
Spike: Well shut up and get started!
Me: Don't need to be mean. This is an chapter have something to celebrated Thanksgiving! Enjoy!
Leo sigh as he landed at his new destination. The last hero has pass his test, but she didn't want to fight anymore wars. She was tire and wish to rest a bit more. He understand her wished and complad to it. Still, he wish she didn't turn him down. And he couldn't believed he turn her down on a date!
'Man. To think that cute daughter of Neptune would ask me out and I cockblock myself!' Leo though bitterly. He started to walk through an random direction and try to get an sense on which world he is in.
He walk what seems like hours, but stop as he stare at an house in an random neighborhood. He walk to the window, making sure to turn himself invisonable. He stare at an family enjoying an holiday of some sort. He stare at them with envy.
You see, it not common knowledge that this god have children. Not a lot like them idiots on Olympics, but some never less. His children he hid from his family and enemy's. To keep them safe. He IS stronger than his mother and all the other's gods. But he is also the kindness out of them all. Why he hid his children so no one can use them to control him.
There wasn't an single beings strong enough to hurt his children and get away with it.
He stare back at the family sitting down enjoying an Thanksgiving meal, he think it call, and smile sadly.
He can image his children, his mother, his simbles and himself sitting down and enjoying spending time together and not worry about anything, but each others company. He actually did something he didn't do in a very long time.
He cry.
He cry for the days that will never come. He cry for his family hurting each others for power. He cry for never be able to talk to his children. To never say ' I'm your father and I love you.' To them. He cry for his daughter, Wendy, that he fail to save. He cry for everything that will never come. He let it all out. The pain of losing his daughters, his sons, his brothers and sisters. The sadness finally broke through his mask of happiness. He teleport to the neares park to weep.
He have no idea how long he sat in that park, but his sadness was interrupted by an female voice.
"Why are you crying sir?''
He look down and notice an teenage girl that eyes remind him of the sea.
He notice she call him sir and look at himself. He would have laugh if he wasn't so sad. He change from his teenage looks to an 40 year man. Without noticing. He look at the girl that took an seat next to him. He smile sadly and said.
"I'm crying for the days that will never come with my children."
"Why that?" The girl ask in confusion.
"Because young one. I have enemy's that will do anything to hurt me. And to do that is go after my children. So, I have to watch them afar and to never let them know that I'm their father. They don't even know that I'm there real father or each others existence. But not even that work. Cause one of my enemy's had kill my youngest daughter." Leo reply with sadness and anger. Sadness for his children lives without him and anger for not being there for his daughter greatest need for him.
"You shouldn't cry. I'm sure your children would have been proud to have an father like you. You gave sacrifice a lot to keep them safe and still made time to check on them to see if they are okay. So you shouldn't beat yourself up. Be glad they can live happy lives while they can." The girl said to Leo as she gentle grab his hands and gave it an reassuring screas. Leo smile at the girl. He felt better thanks to this mysterious woman. And she didn't know an single thing about him! Her words soothes his sorrow and bring him back to life.
"Thank you. You don't know how much I needed to gat that off my chest and your words manage to help me. Thank you kind lady." Leo said with an warm smile.
"Your welcome. I better hurry home. My uncle needs his medics. I hope things get better for you and your children. Goodnight sir." The teen said as she started to walk away.
"Hey, wait! What your name?!" Leo ask desperately. He have to know her name. She turn around, smiling, and said "Sally Jackson. What yours?"
"Leo." He reply back stun. He know her and her future son history.
"Well Leo, Have an happy Thanksgiving." Sally said as she ran home. She didn't notice her body was glowing as she ran. She just receive Leo blessing. Something that never happen to anyone.
'She desver more than my blessing. I mean sure, she will give birth to an baby with all my power to fight the titains and giants in the future, but something else should be done. Hmm." Leo though. He suddenly snaps his fingers as an brilliant idea idea came to mind.
(Sally pov's)
It was close to 7:49 when I got home. I open my apartment door to find to my surprises, my uncle starring at the kitchen table in shock. I turn to the table wondering what could shock him and found myself stun. There, on the table for 20, was an Thanksgivings meal that could feed the whole apartment! I know I didn't cook any of this and so did my uncle. But before I could anything there was an knock on the door. I answer it and was shock even more as our neighbors walk in with food of there own.
Later we all start to enjoy each other company and had an actual Thanksgiving feast as though we're family! It feel nice to have an feast like this again. I look out the window and saw the man I help earlier today smiling and wink at me before vanishing in thin air. I was so shock I nearly chock on my drink. I then felt paper in my hands suddenly and look at it. It was an note. I read it and almost fainted right there.
"Dear Sally Jackson,
I know you don't like being given anything for free. But, just this once, let me give you the Thanksgiving you deserve. Enjoy and have an nice live.
From the man you help,
Leo."
I read and rereaded it three time to make sure it was real. Afterwards I smile with tears coming down my face. This was the nice thing anyone have ever done for me. I look out to the window and whisper.
"Happy Thanksgiving Leo."
(Leo pov's)
I landed in the next world and smile. Thanks to Sally, my heart doesn't hurt as much as it use too anymore. I could never thank her enough. Now to get back to work and find my champions.
I started to walk in the direction I feel very powerful energy coming from and head for our meeting spot. But I couldn't help but wonder, Will I ever see Sally Jackson, or that version of her anyway. I guess I find out later in my long life. But for now, there work to be done. As I was about to meet my targets in an field, I couldn't help but said my catchphrase. Which was mine before it was stolen by an mortal.
''GERONIMO!"
Me: Hope you all enjoy this chapter and continuous to read this story. This is Shadow Gumball of Death sighing off.
