Shame on you guys! I would have expected a little more reaction to my last plot twist! Whatever. I hope you guys like this chapter, the dance is up next!

Sometimes, all you really need in life is a good shock. And that's exactly what I got when Skylar told us her that Lindsey is her sister.
Skylar looked quite ashamed, and I suddenly felt very compassionate towards her. After all, I know what it's like to have terrible siblings (cough cough Triton cough cough).
I put my hand on her arm, "I'm sorry Skylar. I know what it's like to have awful siblings." She sniffed and grimaced, "Yeah, but yours didn't follow you to school."
I shrug, "True, I can't help you there." Piper sniffed mournfully, "Oh Skylar, if only I'd known! I never would have suggested that we ask for her help!"
Skylar smiled, "It's ok. You guys are more a family than I've ever had with her." Thalia scowled, "Well this is quite touching, but why was I never told of this dance? I can't, I'm a Hunter of Artemis, she'd have my head!"
Skylar smirked, "S'ok Thalia, I hate boys just as much as you. You go to the dance, and you dance with your friends. You only have to dance with a boy when a slow song plays."
Thalia was still scowling, "What do I do then?" Skylar grinned, "Hide in the bathroom with me." We all burst out laughing, Skylar really knew how to lighten the mood!
Leo clapped his hands once, grabbing our attention. "Well, does anyone else realize that the room is full of mortals?"
All of us turned around, looking at the shocked mortals. Thalia quickly snapped her fingers, "None of this ever happened. You were just coming to congratulate Skylar, Percy, and Andy on their win."
The three of us were immediately mobbed by everyone in the auditorium. I grinned at Andy through the crowd, this was okay!
About ten minutes later, the crowds died down and we were allowed to move again. I grinned over at my friends, while they just looked disgusted. I was shocked, until I realized they were looking behind me.
I turned around to see Lindsey sashaying over to us. I scowled, time to give that girl a piece of my mind.
I marched up to her, "Listen here, you are done messing around with us. Do you hear me?" She gave me a distrusting look and slapped me.
I laughed, "Wow! You really are weak! I've seen a pig give more of a fight!" Lindsey scowled, "Andy will be mine, witch. Just you see."
She marched away, her posse following in her wake.
I turn to my friends, grinning like mad. "I think it's time to go back to the apartment." I turned to Skylar, "You are welcome to come with us. I wouldn't want to go home if I lived with her."
Skylar scratched the back of her head, "Yeah, my mom kinda sensed that we don't get along. There's a reason our rooms on opposite ends of the house."
I smiled, "C'mon. Besides, we still have some preparation for the dance remember?" Andy pouted, "Do I have to wear a tux?" Skylar smiled, "No, most boys wear golf shirts."
All the boys cheered. Skylar rolled her eyes, she would make a great Hunter! I'll talk to Thalia about it later. We all head out of the auditorium, some excited and some sulking about the dance.
OoO
Twenty minutes later we had reached the apartment. It was a simple thing, but good enough for a couple demigods. I mean, we were used to living on the run. Compared to this, this building was heaven!
We all crashed in the living room, just joking around with each other. I smiled, "First thing first, does everyone have what they're wearing?" Skylar winced, "About that, the dance has a theme. All of them do. This one is heroes."
I groaned, "Now what do we do?" Skylar's eyes lit up, "You can dress up as yourselves!" We all shot her a confused look.
She rolled her eyes, "I already told you that you had your own series. You can dress up like demigods! Y'know, camp t-shirt, weapon, camp necklace/tattoo. No one would suspect a thing."
I shrugged, "I don't see why not. What do you think guys?" Everyone else shrugged, I guess they were okay with it.
"But what about you, Skylar?" Leo asked. She shrugged, "I already have my costume." Nico looked interested, "What is it?"
Skylar smirked and tapped the side of her nose, "Spoilers."
So, what do you think? NO UPDATE UNTILL I GET TEN REVIEWS! Capiche?
