...

"MOOOOMM!" A voice cried from the top of the stairs.

Lorelei sighed, stopping in her work of cleaning up the mess that Zavid had left trying to make himself look presentable. "What is it now, Cathy?" She asked as she made her way to the bottom of the stairs. Peering up, she saw Cathy holding a chunk of her dark brown hair hair in an out-stretched hand.

"Tuntra cut my hair again!" She exclaimed, tears running down her cheeks. "And it's picture day today!"

Lorelei couldn't help but to laugh at the look of utter distress that was upon her thirteen year-old's face. "It's okay, honey." The demigod said. "You aren't going today, anyways."

"Mom. It's picture day." Cathy said, trying to push her mom into pitying her. "I need to be there. And I absolutely cannot go there looking like this!"

Lorelei had pulled her phone out of her pocket and was examining the school's website as Cathy was speaking. "Hm..." She said. "Well, it says here that there's another picture day due in three weeks for those who had missed the first."

"But m-" Cathy tried to intervene.

Lorelei held up a finger. "Therefore, I come to rest at the conclusion that you do not need to be there today." Lorelei said."You'll go in three weeks."

"But mom!" Cathy protested.

"No but's Cathy. I know how to deal with your childish attitude. Remember: I had to deal with your fathers more formal childish attitude for the first couple years. I know how to handle a teens. I was surrounded by them." Lorelei reminded Cathy. "Now get ready to go. We leave in thirty."

Cathy let out a loud ugh! "Dieu! Je déteste ma vie!"

Lorelei crossed her arms. "Mon enfant, il n'y a rien à détester à ce sujet. Essayez d'écouter de temps à autre. Pourraient vous arriver à quelque chose."

Lorelei's French stopped Cathy. "Where did you learn French?"

"Same place as you, my child." Lorelei said smuggly. "But remember, this is your fault your hair was cut. I told you to put the scissors away when you were done using them, didn't I?"

Cathy grumbled something in reply and, cut hair still in hand, made her way to the bathroom to take a shower. Lorelei sighed and shook her head. She walked over to the couch and sat down on it. Gods. she thought. Was I that difficult as a teen? Lorelei mulled it over for awhile before shaking her head. Zavid must have been. He does have a defiant flare about him.

Chuckling a little, Lorelei pulled out her phone to check the time. "You have thirty minutes, Cathy!" She called.

"Whatever." Cathy's voice replied.
