Theme song: Cursed By: Mest
(A/N: Thanks for continuing to read! PLEASE REVIEW! I feel sad I don't get reviews. I hope you guys like it! This chapter is mainly where we get into more of the action. The prophecy and curse revealed, and the characters fall into chaos…it's much more serious and less humor sorry)

A tall women stood looking over a dark pool. The women was beautiful in a certain way, she had sharp features and very judgmental eyes. Her black hair was pulled into a braid that cascaded gently over her shaped shoulders. She wore a white toga and a dark circuit on her head, the circuit was a silver band with a Scale set in the middle. As she looked down at the world, staring at the two she had so graciously gifted.
Hephaestus and Khione of course weren't happy with her messing with their children, but to be fair if not for her the children never would've been born. They were destined for much, they were perfect…balance. Order. Fire and Ice. Girl and Boy. Perfect opposites…perfect balance.
"Playing with your toys again?" Commented a voice, this woman, equally beautiful in her own way, her eyes showed her nature, wild, chaotic, and uncontrollable. Her hair was dark brown, and fell down her back. Within her words you could hear her obvious hate of the other woman.
"What do you want?" The other said, with equal bitterness.
"Nothing. From you. You, your perfect sense of justice, your perfect balance, your perfect toys…" The other woman began tauntingly, "…how do you manage to keep everything…so perfect."
"Leave, I don't need to hear your bitter, jealous words." The first woman replied.
"It WILL fall into chaos, everything, your perfect balance, will begin to wobble, your perfect justice will become biased, your perfect toys…they will crumble into imperfection…" The other spat, cruel, her words as sharp as daggers…her tongue spewing venom like a snake.
"You've always been jealous…but know, they will not crumble."
"…everything must fall to Chaos…eventually."
Kai Laskaris's POV.
The next day at breakfast, I noticed Neo looking depressed, and the other's had the same sort of defeated look. I arched an eyebrow, as I stared at them. Something was obviously wrong…I had never seen these types of expressions, they weren't exactly defeated…but more or less, sad? No…that wasn't the word. I didn't know how to describe these expressions. Each was their own, different, but masking the same feeling.
I decided to see if it would blow off, if not, then I'd deal with it later.
I headed off to find Nico, I found him…picking strawberries. No joke. Here was the Ghost King, the self-proclaimed badass, leaning over a patch of strawberries…though, he wasn't having much luck, every time he got near one, it shriveled away withering to a sickly brown color. He swore as I laughed.
"Hey, I'm sorry about yesterday." I said walking over.
"It's fine." He said simply as he swore again as another strawberry withered.
"You fail at picking strawberries." I said between a laugh. He glared and sighed. "Let's make a deal, I'll help you and you'll fight on my team tonight during capture the flag." He looked up and nodded as I touched the withered flower and it bloomed to life again. He looked surprised, as I placed the strawberry in his basket. I laughed again at the scene…just the fact he had a basket of STRAWBERRIES! He picked them and placed the withered strawberries in his basket. When he was done, I refurbished the strawberries.
"So, what do you have next?" I asked.
"Monster assault techniques." He said, "In the North Woods."
"Cool, can I come?" I asked as he shrugged and we headed off to the northern woods. The lush trees masked the monsters inside. "I'm going to get Neo, he's been too relaxed lately." I said as I found Neo mopping around the stables while the Ares cabin and the Khione girls began getting on the Pegasus. While Cole continued shooting Neo guilty looks and Neo sat there looking pathetic…almost…too pathetic.
"Get up. You've become lazy, we're going monster hunting. Get that pathetic look off your face, it doesn't fit you and I know you're just trying to make Cole feel guilty. Why, is beyond me. But I wont get into it. You're coming with me." I said as he sighed, realizing he couldn't get past me.
"Monster hunting? Really?" He asked me.
"Some what." I said as we met Nico by Zephyros Creek.
A giant spider stood in front of us. Yellow eyes and huge spidery legs. I was guessing that this would be easy. But the idea was monster fighting techniques. Usually you like to go for the easy way out and just stab it through the chest or whatever. "Okay, Nico, get the right legs, Neo, the left. I'll deal with it's front side."
Nico went running for the left, Neo for the right…I found it funny that they both didn't know their lefts and rights…either way, it didn't matter. I ran under it, it's head followed me, probably wondering something like: Who is this ant? What is it doing? Nico screamed as he nearly got flattened by a huge leg.
Neo lopped off the bottom half of one of the legs. I climbed up using the hairs from it's hairy legs. I got into it's head, it's chelicerae were ugly and probably full of venom as well. I kept it distracted as Neo and Nico finished lopping off the rest of it's legs. I brought my sword down and chopped off it's head and the entire beast turned to dust. That was too easy…
"Hey, which way is Right?" I asked them both. They both raised their left hands. I laughed.
"What's so funny?" They both asked…
"That's your left hand." I informed the two…
Capture The Flag-
It was the end of the day and I'd realized that they were all still looking rather depressed…and something I heard and kind of enjoyed was the fighting over which side was going to take me during Capture the Flag.
"Chiron. I have a request to make." I said grinning. He stared at me cautiously.
"What is it?" He asked me.
"I would like to have all the campers versus me, Neo, Nico, Lex-zi, Damon, Cole, Ali, Hazen, and Valentein in Capture the Flag tonight." I said, "It's a risk…but I know that the Aphrodite cabin is going to sit out and they might have numbers but I know my team has more fighting experience and first hand experience." I told him. He agreed and announced the new decision.
That night I had my team gather around.
"Are you trying to get us KILLED?" Nico shouted.
"Not at all. All of you have had this stupid pathetic, guilty, and sad looks on your face and to be honest, it's kind of pissing me off." I snapped, "So stop feeling sorry for yourselves and fight tonight. Cole, Neo, Lex-zi, I want you guys to guard the flag. Damon, Hazen, and Valentein, I want you guys to spread out along the side of the creek. Ali, you'll be our eyes, take the highest tree you can find, like a sniper. Damon, you finished setting the traps right? You're also in charge of the traps. Nico, you're coming with me to get the their flag. Ares' cabin is leading their side, they'll go for the head on approach.
"We don't need to worry about the Athena cabin, they're sitting out with the Aphrodite cabin because they got in a fight with Ares' lead. They'll have the Ares kids and Hermes kids take the offense. Hermes kids are good with traps, they know where they are and how to avoid them. That's where you'll come in Ali. The Ares kids are strong and bulky but obviously don't have much brains. Though there will be a lot of them you'll be able to handle them. They're easy to take down. Neo, you can use that technique I showed you to slow down their movements, they'll be a lot easier to deal with then.
"Hephaestus will have a lot of traps ready for us Nico, but with my plan it won't matter. The Apollo kids always take the trees so Damon, Hazen, Valentein, I want you to be careful of random arrows. They'll have their water kids using the creek so be wary of that as well." I finished, I looked at their expressions… I sighed. "You're unhappy with your teams? Well, suck it up. It's kind of obvious you guys have been having problems. Deal With Them. We're NOT losing this game." That's when two familiar faces entered.
"Hey, miss me?" Annabeth's voice asked.
"Annabeth? Percy? What are you two doing here?" Nico asked.
"We just got here, Chiron said you could probably use the help." Percy said. I smirked.
"This changes things." I said, "Annabeth you'll come with Nico and I to get the flag. Percy, defend the river the best you can with Hazen, Valentein and Damon."
The conch horn sounded as Annabeth put on her invisible hat, Nico shadow traveled over and I jumped over the creek. I met a group of kids as I dodged a sword and knocked out the others. Slowing time around me, I was able to swat them away like flies. Annabeth, was like a secret ninja, taking them out like crazy. Avoiding every single trap while I seem to be getting caught in every single one, but getting out easily.
Nico should've found the flag at this point…
Meanwhile-
"Valentein, would you at least LISTEN to me?" Hazen shouted.
"Why should I?" She retorted. Damon himself was staying out of it, a wise decision. Valentein and Hazen continued to fight with each other even as the enemy advanced. Percy rose a huge wave from the creek, sending half of the people back, but some of the other kids got through when the other children of minor water Gods created paths. Damon set fire to the horse hair on the kid's helmets.
"Mind helping out a little?" Percy shouted at Valentein and Hazen.
"SHUT UP! YOU MISERABLE EXCUSE FOR A DEMIGOD!" Valentein shouted at Hazen so loudly that half the kids around them began clucking like chickens. Hazen stared at her in fear.
Damon watched in half amusement.
"JUST LISTEN! I was only flirting with that Dryad because I needed to distract her while Jeremy stole the cheesecake!" Hazen shouted, swinging his arms around in exasperation, but not in vain because the flailing sword knocked out anyone who approached him.
Percy wondered whether the two even realized they were actually helping.
"Is that supposed to make me feel better? If you're unsatisfied with out relationship you should've just said so instead of going behind my back and flirting with stupid Dryads!" She screamed, her bracelet getting stuck on her dagger withdrawing it, when she swung her arms at Hazen the dagger flew out of her bracelet lodging itself in a camper's arm.
"I keep telling you! I love you! I love our relationship! IT WAS JUST FOR A PIECE OF CHEESECAKE!" Hazen retorted, his sword continuing to knock out campers…Damon and Percy just stared at the two in awe…
Meanwhile-
"So, uh…what technique was Kai talking about?" Cole asked Neo, feeling guiltier than ever.
"If I slow the time around us we should be able to knock out the advancers easily." Neo said glumly.
"Um, I've been meaning to say this earlier, but Cole, thanks for saving me earlier." Lex-zi said.
Cole shot a glance over at the depressed Neo. "Uh, it was nothing, if Neo hadn't used his powers I'd never had gotten to you in time. It's really all him." Cole said. Secretly, Neo was laughing his ass off. His plan was working better than he hoped, not only is Cole staying away from Lex-zi, he's HELPING him get her! It was almost too easy in Neo's mind…
"Um, Lex-zi, I don't want you to get hurt, you should where this." Neo said giving her his Nemean Lion skin jacket with an innocent look. Lex-zi stared at the little boy, thinking he looked like a super cute teddy bear. She took it thanking him as she turned back to Cole.
"Aw come on, give yourself some credit." Lex-zi said. Neo was bursting with anger in his mind…slowly, a pretty smart plan came to mind. He'd read a lot of comic and manga books and how does the girl always fall in love with the boy? He grinned to himself…
A echo of battle cries came from near them and they readied themselves. A group of a dozen Ares kids came at them. Lex-zi froze most of them in place while Neo used the blunt side of his scythe to knocked them out. Cole took care of the other two. Neo got angrier noticing Lex-zi's awe at Cole.
It was time… Neo thought, as Lex-zi froze an Ares camper in place, she didn't see the second one. Neo DID though, jumping in the way, a sword slashed down his back as he shrieked he had NOT thought it would hurt that bad. He'd never felt a pain this bad before! He cursed himself for being an idiot, he didn't think it would hurt this badly. In his five years of life he'd NEVER felt a pain that bad before.
Even Lex-zi wasn't worth this type of pain, he thought to himself. Lex-zi screamed in horror. Cole, taking care of the last Ares kid, ran to find Neo bleeding, nearly crying in pain and Lex-zi screaming in horror.
Neo cried to himself, he was such an idiot. How did I end up like this! The Hero's in the manga make it look so easy! How did I mess up so badly? Neo thought to himself, he heard Kai's scolding voice in his head, but then realized, it wasn't in his head. As he began fading into darkness…
Kai Laskaris's POV.
I heard a scream, and I knew it belonged to Neo. What type of trouble had he gotten into this time? I wondered as I ran to the sight, I found Cole running towards Neo who was heavily bleeding and nearly crying in pain, Lex-zi leaning over him and Cole panicking. What in Hades' name drove him to this? Why wasn't he wearing his jacket? IDIOT! The sight of Neo, surrounded by blood, his eyes teary…
It set me into a rage. I didn't know who to blame, of course I knew I should've blamed Neo for being an idiot, but at the time I wasn't thinking about that. I was thinking that my little brother was crying, dying, and bleeding…
I looked up at the Ares kids. I ran at them and grabbed them by the hair, smashing them to the ground. I dodged a kick and grabbed the other's fist, using it as a weapon, beating up the other Ares kid with the other's fist. The other grabbed his sword I grabbed the blade, not even noticing the blade slicing into my hand, I grabbed it from his grip and plunged it into the tree. Grabbed the boy by the shirt and slammed his head against the hilt. The other one was lying the ground as two more kids advanced me.
Slapping my hands to the ground, I kicked the first one in the jaw, most likely dislocating it. A fist swung for me and I grabbed it, flipped over, sending the dude flying into wherever, I steadied myself with a cartwheel. Combining Capoeira and Judo I swept behind the second performing a perfect rasteira (but I didn't really have the time to admire it) while grabbing him by the shoulders in a choke hold, jerking my knee up and kicking him into a tree.
Then the Ares kids began fighting with EACH OTHER! I didn't understand what was going on…
Cheers erupted and I knew we won. I grabbed Neo, bandaging him up the best I could. At least here we had an infirmary…something was wrong with this entire game. It was more chaotic than ever, everyone at camp was chaotic. I took him to the infirmary leaving him with Lex-zi and Damon. As I called Ali, Cole, Valentein and Hazen to the other room. "We're leaving tomorrow." I informed them.
"What…why?" Ali asked.
"You don't have to come, but when Neo wakes up, I'm leaving with him." I said, "Something's wrong here, we did better on our own. I nearly loss Neo, WE nearly loss Neo. I don't like this place…"
"You're going? But you just got here." Nico's voice came from the doorway.
"I don't care." I said coldly, as I left the room I heard Percy's voice shouting my name.
"KAI! R-Rachel, we just visited her…she's calling for you." He said.
"It doesn't matter. We're leaving tomorrow." I said to him.
"You can't just ignore a prophecy Kai." Chiron's steady voice said. "Percy, perhaps you could leave us alone." Percy left and Chiron told me to sit down. "Kai, you're doing it again. Running away because you're afraid of losing. You can't just leave now…"
"Watch me! This place has done nothing for us! Hazen and Valentein wont look at each other. Cole hasn't said a word since Neo was almost killed and he's probably suffering from some sort of brain trauma now. Ali is crying over Neo right now. And Neo nearly got cut in half, and personally I like my little brother WHOLE! We're LEAVING!" I shouted in his bearded face.
"Kai calm down." Chiron demanded, "You're hurt right now, hurt, worried, and angry. I understand, this has been a long night for you. Go visit Rachel, you'll receive the prophecy and you'll complete it as you always do, now go." He said harshly…his voice somehow reached me as I paused. As I nodded.
Once outside, I fell against the wall. What was with this place? What was with Me? What was with all of Them? I sighed, maybe Rachel had the answers. I walked up to her cave and found her in there, as her eyes immediately began glowing green:
"Chaos reigns imbalance begins
Curse mark of balance sets in
Nine will go to settle the curse
They'll split into two and disperse
North to find the Snowy Queen
West to find the King of machines
Reveal the truth of ice and flame
The ending will come as the same"
Of course it was about them. I knew it was going to happen soon…but how exactly do you tell two people they have to die? I came out and met Chiron's questioning gaze asking me whether it was about what he feared. I nodded.
"I know which nine I'm going to take. It's obvious…" I said. I headed to the big house and Chiron got the others…I sat down at the front of the Ping-Pong table and the others soon filed in.
"What's this about?" Lex-zi asked. Neo wasn't there, the Apollo kids were working on him now.
"A prophecy." I informed them all. "Before I begin, Lex-zi, Damon, do you know where those marks on her hand and neck came from?" I asked, they shook their heads. "They're the symbol of balance. Nemesis's symbol of power…it's her Gift but your Curse. You two are perfect balance, fire and ice, boy and girl, it's only happened thrice before that the gift has been given…Chaos has begin and the prophecy given.
"Chaos reigns imbalance begins
Curse mark of balance sets in
Nine will go to settle the curse
They'll split into two and disperse
North to find the Snowy Queen
West to find the King of machines…"
I finished there. I wasn't going to tell them the ending unless I had to, there was always the double-meaning thing that the oracle loved doing. "We'll have to leave as soon as Neo is okay. We'll split into groups of four and five and we'll head off to find Hephaestus and Khione…" I said simply.
"What happened to the last pair who were given this…curse?" Damon asked hesitantly.
"They died. But the people before them lived happily ever after." I told them. They stared at me…I couldn't read the emotions in their eyes. Valentein looked half-awake. Hazen looked glare-y at Valentein. Cole looked vacant and depressed. Ali looked like she was suffering from PTS. And I probably looked like Hades too. Chaos, it explained everything…Eris…
"Let's figure this out now. Neo, I'll go with Lex-zi-" I began.
"I'll go with Damon." Hazen and Cole said at the same time.
"I'll come with you." Nico commented.
"I'll go with you and Lex-zi too." Valentein said.
"I'll go with Damon as well…" Ali said apathetically.
"Okay, then…" I said, "Let's all get some good rest…we need it."
Sleep? Yeah right…I went back to the infirmary and found Neo lying peacefully. Thank the Gods. I thanked the Apollo kids as they left. I took a deep breath, my brain felt dead and like it was still dying…
"Hey, I thought I'd find you in here." A voice said. I turned around and saw Nico, "Something's bothering you, you knew the last people who had the curse didn't you? How'd they end up?"
"Theodore and Laurence St. James, identical twin sons of Apollo. It was Victorian era London…their mother was the oldest daughter of a noble man. Chiron was their private tutor, I met them after they received the prophecy. Everything fell into chaos, the queen died prematurely, the weather was chaotic, the city set afire, everything was chaotic. The curse revealed, the only way to settle it was for them to die. Eris tried to coax them into killing each other, in the end I was forced to kill them both…" I informed him.
"What was the end of the prophecy? I know you didn't finish it…" He said.
"It will end the same…" I said, "Why are we going through all this if it's just going to end the same?"
"It might not, you know how the Oracle talks in bumper sticker half the time." He said, "Get some sleep, isn't that what you told all of us to do?"
"I can't…" I said, he told me to close my eyes, instead of closing them I rolled them. "What are you, my Mom?" I retorted as he rolled HIS eyes and told me to shut up and go to sleep…I closed my eyes and in the end did drift off…
"Theo! Laurie! The curse mark it-it is glowing!" I exclaimed. As they turned to each other, the curse mark was indeed glowing blue. The ashes were falling heavily on us. London in it's entirety was in flames, the families ran about the cobble stone streets as a laughing filled out ears.
"Isn't it beautiful? The flames? The chaos?" A familiar voice said. I turned to see Eris, she stood there, in a black waistcoat and skirt. "The chaos is what it is, balance is no more!" She shouted laughing, "Of course, there is one way…death. You two are the cause of this! The only way is death now, of course, you're far too weak to kill each other…though it's the only way." She said.
Theo and Laurie stared at each other in horror. The glowing mark on their hands turned a violent red as they reached for their swords, screaming at each other to stop. I realized, they were compelled to kill each other. "Kai!" Chiron's voice shouted as I realized what I had to do…I grabbed Amyntas.
I disarmed them and realized I had to kill them, how could I let them kill each other? Loving brothers? It wasn't fair to them, they did nothing for this curse…I reached my sword and closed my eyes.
"Kai! Do it!" Laurie screamed.
"Kill us! It is the only way!" Theo screamed.
"Now Kai! It is your only chance!" Chiron shouted.
All of them had ash covered faces and desperate eyes. I ran at them, closing my eyes as I stabbed the sword through them. It was as if a giant pulse went off, Chiron and I were pushed back and the two bodies began glowing…separating, their bodies placed on a scale…as a huge burst of light went off…
I shielded my eyes for a second, but when I opened them, it was as if years had gone by. London was back to normal, everything…back to normal. I just laid there on the cobble stone…
"W-What has happened Chiron?" I asked him.
"Balance has been restored…" He told me…as he gestured for me to get on his back. We headed to the local graveyard, he gestured to the two graves. Carved and beautiful, tomb stones of nobles.
Theodore Gabriel St. James & Laurence Michael St. James
Died in Accident 1885-
Were the names on the tombs…
I woke up remembering that… Accident? Was my murdering them really an accident? Why did they have to die for balance? How stupid was that? Was I going to have to kill Damon and Lex-zi as well? Will their deaths simply be written off as another "accident"…? I found myself lying on Nico's chest which fell up and down…it was soothing. I woke up and stayed up until I saw the sun peak through the window…
I needed to get it together, stop feeling sorry for myself, lead this mission, and try not to get too many people killed. That's what I needed to do. Stop thinking about the future (that's Apollo's job) I needed to focus on what was going on in front of me and stop being so self-centered. Damon and Lex-zi were the ones that might die. I frowned at the thought.
I went back to my room in the Big House, grabbed Neo and my bag, began stuffing our stuff in it. Grabbed them, and headed back where I saw Neo slurping down a huge glass of nectar. I was relieved he was okay, he was literally the only family I had. As he reached for the huge bottle of it, I quickly grabbed it away from him, and looked at him with a smile.
"Do you want to burn up into ash?" I asked him. He grinned and hugged me.
"So I heard you beat up some major ass for me." He said as I hit him lightly.
"Watch your language." I reprimanded.
"Hey! I've been awake for like, thirty minutes, and your already PMSign on me?" He shouted.
"PMS? Do you even know what that is?" I asked him arching an eyebrow.
"Yeah! Pissed at Men Syndrome." He said as I laughed and ruffled his hair because I knew he hated it.
"Well, did someone fill you in about what's happening?" I asked as he nodded, "Oh, and what happened out there? I know I've trained you better than that! What happened?"
"Nuthin…" he mumbled into his pillow.
"Right." I said, not convinced at all. "Okay, look, if you want to talk about it, I'll listen, if you don't, it's okay." I bargained, I figured if he wasn't going to tell me, he wasn't going to tell me. He was a stubborn kid (another trait he had inherited from me) "Either way, hurry up and get ready we've got a mission." He nodded and put on his tough face, I grinned and left.
The next day everyone met at the top of the hill, just like old times. Damon and Lex-zi arrived first, they were talking to each other quietly, I didn't bother trying to eaves drop. They seemed close, like brother and sister, and that reality only made me feel worse. I really hoped they wouldn't come to the same end as Theo and Laurie. Neo was already with me, he was still asleep, or pretending to be at least. He just didn't want to face the day… Ali and Cole approaching arguing over the missing comb, Ali thought Cole stole it but Cole said that Ali had it last and probably just lost it. Hazen came still slightly asleep. While Valentein was trying to walk and fix her hair at the same time…wasn't really working out.
Either way, the way they were acting it almost seemed like some things were back to normal. At least Cole was talking again and they weren't all suffering from severe depression. Nico came much later with Chiron. We all stared at the centaur, waiting for direction, I guess I'd never realized it, but we relied on Chiron for a lot of things. It kind of made me angry, having to be reliant on someone else.
"Let's split up now," I said taking charge, they're heads all swiveled from Chiron to me. Hazen, Cole, Ali, Damon you're one team and you'll be heading west to find Hephaestus. I'm guessing a mountain, the Pacific coast is where I'd start. Lex-zi, Nico, Neo, Valentein, we'll be heading north. Quebec is usually where Khione is, in the palace with her father Boreas. I guess we just need to find them." They all listened as I stopped then said, "Okay, let's bounce…"
And bounce we did, Hazen, Cole, Ali, and Damon were able to ride planes because they weren't hated by Zeus like Me, Nico, and Neo were. Neo, Nico, Lex-zi, Valentein and I were all heading north, which wasn't as far. We bounced to a Cyclops lair on accident though…
(A/N: Okay, so tell me what you think, constructive criticism is appreciated! Thanks! UNTIL NEXT TIME! I probably won't update for awhile after this, I have MANY plans! BUT I WILL GIVE U GUYS A SNEAK PEAK!)
Chapter Four Sneak Peak!
WITH LEX-ZI'S GROUP!
"Welcome my friends to the not-so-wintery wonderland." I said as we all got out of the car. I didn't get much of a response, they all fell out of the car gasping and hugging the ground, I stared at them oddly. "What's wrong with you people?"
"YOUR DRIVING!" Valentein shouted. Neo was making a snow angel happily, but I think he was doing it wrong, that is, unless you're SUPPOSED to do it face down…
"You dare criticize my driving?" I shouted, "I am a FANTASTIC driver!" They others just stared at we weird shaking their heads.
"We ran EVERY SINGLE STOP LIGHT!" Valentein shouted.
"I think I have a concussion for how many times my head bumped the ceiling because you're not aware of speed bumps!" Lex-zi accused.
"Did you know there's such thing as a SPEED LIMIT?" Nico shouted at me. I was offended.
"I'm offended! You said we had to get there quickly!" I shouted, "So first of all, I'd like to ask what a stop light is. Second of all, Lex-zi, speed bumps have the word SPEED in them, you're SUPPOSED TO SPEED! Nico, I am aware of that thing, but I don't believe in it. It's like Logic, it just doesn't exist in my mind! Third of all! Neo! I get up before you get hypothermia!"
"Do you REALLY have a license?" Valentein asked, "Stop lights are those red lights!"
"Nuhuh! Green means go. Orange means okay. Red means ready. Even NEO knows that!" I said.
"Kai, speed-bumps were created to make people SLOW DOWN!" Lex-zi shouted irritated.
"And you wonder why we were chased by cop cars to the border…" Nico said appalled.
"ahm eahtaing smoh." was the response I got from Neo.
"What?" Nico asked staring at Neo.
"He said he's eating snow." I replied, "Just don't eat the yellow stuff!"
"Why? Isn't yellow lemon?" Neo asked…
