November 18
Mirra's P.O.V
Okay, for most eight year old girls, seeing a punk girl and goth boy walk though the wall of your apartment would probably freak you out. But with a brother like Percy, this has become a normal occurrence.
I was sitting in my normal spot on the floor by the couch, reading a book I got in the elementary school library. Percy was sitting on the couch, working on his math homework. He seemed to be having some trouble, because I had to help him with a few. (Bit of a reverse role if you ask me). Mommy and daddy were at the store because we were out of blue food coloring, and for us, that can't happen.
I had looked up from my book when I felt a cold gust of wind hit my face. The first thing I saw was a black converse stepping out of the wall. I sat my book down to watch. A boy with shaggy black hair, along with dark brown eyes walked out, with a spiky haired girl holding onto his waist. She had spiky black hair, with strips of blue died into the bangs. She had on a dark blue tank top along with a leather jacket and dark purple skinny jeans. Her eyes were squeezed shut from the ride as she held onto the boy for dear life. He had a simple blood red T-shirt with black cargo jeans and as I mentioned before, black converse. I also noticed a skull ring on his finger and a skull belt buckle on the side of his hip.
When they came in, they obviously were not expecting there to be a chair where they landed. The boy stumbled over it until finally falling on his face. The girl fell on top of him, with a grunt from both of them.
Percy had heard the commotion and put his homework down. He started laughing at them, before getting up to help them up. I sat my book down to go greet them with Percy.
Percy greeted Thalia with a hug, and Nico with a bro fist. I walked up beside him and waved.
"Hi Nico! Hi Thalia!"
Nico gave me a gentle smile. "Hey Mirra." He bent down so I could give him a hug.
"Mirra!" Thalia exclaimed. She ran up and scooped me up into her arms. She tickled me by poking my sides. She kissed my cheeks over and over again as I laughed.
"How's my favorite little sister doing?" She laughed and continued tickling me.
"I'm fine."
She cheered as she lifted me up and spun me around.
"Hey, Thalia." Percy interrupted. "I hate to break this to you, but she's my little sister."
Thalia grunted and pulled me into a protective hold. "No, this little cutey's mine!"
Percy took my waist and pulled me away from Thalia into the same protective hold Thalia had me in. "But I'm her big brother!"
Thalia pulled me away from Percy. "Well, maybe she wants a big sister!"
Percy took my arm, but Thalia kept a good grip on my other one. "She is my sister, give her back!"
"No! She's mine."
"Give her back, Pinecone face!"
"Make me, kelp head!"
Suddenly, I felt a strong gust of wind hit my face. Then I appeared on the other side of the room with Nico holding me in his arms. From the other side, Percy and Thalia had started wrestling it out, already having knocked over the lamp.
"Careful around them, Mirra." Nico said. "When they get into an argument, things get violent."
"Does this happen often?"
"Oh, yeah." Nico sighed. "Percy and Thalia are just like their fathers when it comes to arguing.
I nodded, remembering the first time I met Thalia. She and Percy had been hunting monsters together, and they had started arguing over strategies. Then after that, who's wound got healed first, then who got the last cookie, then then made up...only to get into the cookie argument again with a reversed role. In the end, they both broke into hysterical laughter like it all was some inside joke.
"They really do care for each other." Nico said. "We all do. Even though we somtimes don't get along, we all love each other...duck."
"What?"
"Duck." He repeated. He squatted down on the floor with a hand covering my head. Then a giant bolt of lighting shot from above us. We stood back up after in was gone.
"Hey Nico?" I asked. "Do you like Thalia?"
Nico blushed and I could tell he almost dropped me until he quickly tightened his grip again.
"Wha-wha-what gave you that idea?" He laughed nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Because you two are always together, and you always blush when she touches you and you look at her like Percy looks at Annabeth."
Nico nervously looked to the left side of the room. "Uh...duck!"
We bent down again as a giant column of water shot up from above us.
Nico sighed. "I'm going to try to break them up."
Nico sat me down and tried to get in the middle of Percy and Thalia. When he couldn't, he just tried to get there attention and get them to calm down.
"Guys, Guys. Maybe you should...um, guys!"
"Stay out of it Death Breath!" They yelled in unison. They both whipped around, though their palms flew up and slapped Nico in the face.
"Oops..." Percy mumbled.
"Oh gods, Nico, I am so sorry! I swear, I didn't mean to-" Thalia never got finish because Nico pulled off his skull belt buckle and pressed the eyes. It then grew into a two foot long black sword. He then joined in the argument, causing Thalia to pull out her spear and Percy to pull out Riptide.
I slowly snuck around the sword fight and went into the kitchen. Once there, I popped a bag of popcorn and poured a glass of lemonade. I sat down at the kitchen table and watched the fight like it was a movie, occasionally ducking at blast of lighting, water or black rocks.
The fight dragged on for about ten minutes, mostly due to the fact that they were so similar in power. While they were in the middle of a triple slash when the door opened.
"Hey guys!" Mommy's voice called. "We're ho-"
She stopped mid sentence when she saw what was going on. Daddy walked in after her and dropped the grocery bag. He slowly backed away and slipped into the kitchen, probably not wanting to get caught in the crossfire of mommy's wrath.
"What is going on here?" She said perfectly calm, but the look in her eyes said 'retreat, now'.
Percy, Nico and Thalia looked at each other nervously. They were obviously trembling. I found it funny, the big three demigods, who have fought monsters, titans, gods, demigod, and spirits are terrified of mommy.
"You three have been over here enough times to know the rule." Mommy snapped. "No deadly weapons in the house!" She extended her hand. "Hand 'em over, now."
Nico looked down nervously as he pressed the skull of the end of his sword and it trasformed back into a belt buckle. He handed it over to mommy reluctantly. Percy placed the cap back on Riptide and it shrunk back into a small ballpoint pen. Thalia tapped the end of her spear and it turned back into a lightning bolt shaped hairpin. Mommy took all the weapons with a hand on her hip, meaning she ment business.
"Thalia, Aegis to." She said. Thalia sighed as the removed her bracelet and handed it over.
"You'll get these back when you learn not to argue!"
"Um, mom." Percy mumbled, flinching when she turned her glare to him. "We kind of need those to fight off monsters, and its virtually impossible for us to stop argue."
Mommy looked at Nico and Thalia, who merely nodded in agreement, to scared to talk back. Mommy sighed, then turned to me.
"Mirra, why don't you hold onto these." She handed me the minimized weapons. Then she walked into the kitchen, probably to gripe at daddy for sneaking out of the conversation.
"Hey Mirra?" Percy asked with an innocent smile, matching Nico and Thalia's. "We're cool, right? So, you think we could have our weapons back?"
I smiled a devious smile. "You'll get these back when you learn not to argue." I said, causing all three of them to retreat to the emo corner.
