I took a deep breath, about to come up with what I think must be the lamest excuse ever. However, thank the gods, Anubis answered for me. "I just happened to come here. You do know I am fond of cemeteries, yes?"

"You just happened to come here? Where Sadie is?" Zia snapped with a frown. She sure was in a bad mood. Note to self: never piss her off when she's in a bad mood. Or else...She'll take out her wand and burn you alive?

"Well..." Even Anubis was at a lost for words. Whipping out her wand/staff, Zia pointed it at him and instantly set him ablaze with the mutter of a spell.

"Anubis!" I screamed, then reminded myself. He's a GOD, for god's sake. I watched with horror as he instantly put out the fire with the mutter of a spell, then turned with his eyes narrowed, staring at Zia with such hatred that I didn't know could exist. This was not good...Not good at all. Anubis and Zia were about to get into a fight, and it seemed pretty sure what the outcome of it will be. Well, at least Anubis would win, hopefully...

Carter stepped between the two quarreling people (actually, one quarreling person and one quarreling god). "That's enough, you two! Zia, please don't make Anubis angry any further. We may need his help in the future, so it should be best for us to be on friendly terms. Sadie, you're coming with me."

Now it was my turn to be pissed off. "Just wait a second, Carter! Since when were you put in charge? You're not my dad!"

"I'm your brother, and therefore I'm responsible for keeping you safe," he answered flatly. I would've punched him if Anubis hadn't grabbed onto my arm and distracted me. Pissing off a god was worse than pissing off Zia. There sure has been a lot of pissing off lately. "Well, give the lovely man his jacket back. Let's get going."

"Well, I'm not giving the lovely man his jacket back because I'm not going with you," I snapped irritatedly. Carter looked like he was pissed off too. What was wrong with this day? Definitely the worst day ever.

"Let's elope, Sadie," Anubis suggested, and I stared at him as if he had just said he was Zeus.

Even Carter frowned. I saved him from dying from embarrassment. "Hold on just a minute, Death Boy. Elope is when two people run off in secret to get married, and I doubt I would be doing that any time soon with you, anyway. Are you still not up to date yet?" Anubis visibly blushed.

"I-I meant...let's go, Sadie." He stumbled, extremely nervous.

"And where, may I ask, are you two going?" Carter asked, changing into his "over-protective brother mode".

"Oh, just getting him up-to-date on modern courtship rituals," I lied, grabbing his hand. "Well, see you two around! Enjoy your date!" With that, I skipped off, dragging Anubis with me while leaving the two baffled in the cemetery. This was going to be worse than I thought.

A/n: Well...that's chapter 3! What do you guys think? Like it? Love it? Hate it? Should I continue? Suggestions, opinions and ideas are welcome! :D And I know that this is really random, but I do hope you liked it! Thank you for your awesome reviews!
