Possible Trials of Apollo 2 spoilers...
Tiesa hated prom.
It wasn't prom itself, it was the big deal that everyone made it out to be.
Seriously, who in their right mind would buy a dress that is over twenty dollars? Or pay to be at school on a Saturday night? And not to mention the stupid promposals.
Oh, why was Gilbert wearing a diaper?
Tiesa watched as Gilbert ran up to poor Madeleine Jones and shouted "MADDY I WAS BORN TO GO TO PROM WITH YOU!" And then in a softer voice he asked her if she wanted to go.
Poor Sigurd. Tiesa knew that he had been wanting to ask her.
Tiesa had to push everyone out of her way so she wasn't late for her class. They were getting a new seating assignment in AP Calculus and that was the most exciting part of her day. Apart from finding out that Alfred was in her class.
She didn't care where she sat in that class as long as it was near an outlet so she could charge her phone and somewhere close to Alfred. Preferably next to him but it was pushing her luck hoping for the outlet.
She saw where the teacher placed her and it was in the back of the classroom. Was there? Holy Mary and all the saints! There was an outlet! She could charge her phone whale the teacher droned on and on about tangent lines.
She discretely plugged it in and took out the homework she finished and continued to read her book. She was where Apollo and Meg were in the cavern full of snakes when she heard her crush actually talk to her.
"You like Rick Riordan too?"
Why was he here?
"Looks like we'll be sitting next to each other for the rest of the year. I've seen you read in class before. You must read fast because you always have a new book everyday. What book were you reading that made you cry?"
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhh!
His gorgeous blue eyes looked full of concern.
"Are you alright?" Curse his sweet personality and care for others!
"Ye-yeah. I'm...im fine. Great. Just...calc." Oh she could kick herself.
"So your house if Slytherin?"
"How'd you?"
"Your shirt."
Oh of course. She wore her House shirt today. A giant cartoon snake with a green and silver scarf that said "I'm snek".
This was going to be a long, perfect, embarrassing three months.
...
"So, you going to prom Tess?" A freshman named Raivis asked.
"No. It's just an excuse to show off how mush money you are willing to spend on yourself."
"You must be fun at parties." Eduard said dryly.
"Actually, she's great to have when you go questing. Last night, she tried to fight an orc but rolled a twenty and ended up pregnant with a new breed of dragons." Felicks said as he sat down at the lunch table. "Natalya and Ivan have started to call her 'Tiesareys Stormborn: Mother of dragons and Wife of Ragnokys the Slayer of Men' instead of her cleric name Lithuanyah."
"I'll never understand Dungeons and Dragons." Raivis moaned.
"Maybe Alfred will ask you to prom. A little bird told me you are sitting together..."
Tiesa spent the rest of the lunch period denying her very obvious crush on Alfred.
Alfred spent the whole lunch period trying to work up the courage to ask her to prom.
...
The night came and she took pictures of her foster siblings in their dresses and suits. Ivan asked her one more time if she would reconsider. Anichka said that she had an extra dress and Natalya was just wanted to get prom over with.
Tiesa just wanted to stay home and get caught up Supernatural and play video games. She was almost to the season 12 finale of Supernatural and all she had to do was press play and then...
DING DONG!
'DAMN IT TO HELL!'
She got up off the couch and went to the door despite her internal monologue telling her to ignore the person at the door and go back to her show. To go play Assassin's Creed or Red Dead Redemption.
She opened the door and Felicks waltzed in wearing a tan tunic, a floppy hat with a feather, and a fluffy white shirt holding a large dress that no doubt held a dress.
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Just stay for the coronation. You don't even have to dance. I have a flashlight and all you need is whatever book you are currently reading."
She sighed. "Felicks, I don't want to go to something as stupid as prom."
"Yes prom is stupid," he held up the bag, "at least try on the dress. I cannot allow you to go to a Renaissance prom in Marvel sweats."
Tiesa was wearing her resting bitch face.
"It's your House colors..." he coaxed.
"Fine." She took the bag and went to her room.
"Let me know if you need help with the lace!" he called up the stairs. "Oh season 12 finale!"
...
Tiesa looked at herself in the mirror. This dress had to have cost hundreds of dollars. It was an elegant off shoulder green dress with silver trim and bodice. She looked like royalty.
She carefully went down the stairs to where Felicks was just finishing a Sherlock episode.
"Hey beautiful, sit down so I can do your hair and watch the Supernatural finale. It's going to drive you mad."
"Okay, but how much did the dress cost?"
"Not much since I made it myself."
"WHat?!"
"I had a weekend off work." he shrugged.
"...Have I ever told you how awesome you are?"
"Only when I bring you coffee, a book for your birthday, refuse to tease you about Alfred when he is within hearing distance." He listed as he braided her hair. "You are going to look like a queen when I'm done."
...
Alfred honestly didn't want to be at prom. He was only here because he was on the prom court and it was his duty to be here. After the coronation, he was planning to slip out but then he couldn't watch Gilbert and make sure that Maddie was alright. Poor Maddie did not do very well in large crowds, loud places, and confined spaces and prom was all three.
Alfred stayed near his sister in a ten foot radius out of Gilbert's line of sight. Poor Maddie looked like she was about to freak out and run home.
This was so boring.
"ALFRED! THEY NEED YOU WITH THE OTHER COURT MEMBERS!" Miss Tiina had to shout over the music.
Alfred made his way to the other members of the court.
Miss Tiina didn't know it, but the other court members planed to make Tiina the Queen and the woodworking teacher Berwald the King. The plan was that they would be King and Queen and they will get married by next Tuesday. He went into the quiet room where the court was on their phones.
"Hey team! Where's Alice?" Alice was the lady that was supposed to walk out with Alfred.
"Alice is sick. She called me and she sounded like death. I heard the phone drop and then a lot of vomiting. She said that she was sorry for leaving you to walk out alone." Felicity said.
Great. Just great.
They all waited in awkward silence until Mathias broke it.
"Operation 'Wedding Bells' is still a go?"
"Yes." Ludwig muttered. "I swear if they don't go on one date after this I'll-"
Berwald opened the door and walked in. "Alright. Time to crown the King."
...
Tiesa held onto Felicks's arm as he escorted her into the school gym. She wished that they played better music. Preferably the music that they would have played in medieval times because she didn't think that 16th century peasants would have listened to how Shorty got low in a club wearing apple bottom jeans. She pictured a person wearing jeans getting burned at the stake.
"Penny for your thoughts Lady Snake?"
"A person getting burned at the stake wearing apple bottom jeans and that dress." She pointed to a dress that revealed way to much cleavage.
"I demand a refund. You owe me a penny."
"No take backs. You spent that penny."
"Whatever. I am going to find Eduard and tell him we are here and that you can indeed dress up like a lady miss Gracie Lou Freebush." And Tiesa was alone.
She watched as the court members walked through the doors and stood at the far end of the gym. When she heard that Alfred was King, she was over joyed. He would make a fine King. But the girl that was prom Queen was sick so as King, Alfred was allowed to choose his Queen.
She couldn't hear what he was saying to Mr. Oxentierna but she did see him place the crown on his head while Felicity took the Queen's crown and placed it on Miss Väinämöinen's head and they pushed the two blushing teachers together while a slow song started to play.
She was surprised to see Alfred play matchmaker with the two teachers but she was glad that he got her ship together.
"Penny for your thoughts."
Saldūs Viešpats danguje!
"Thank you for getting my ship together."
"I think the entire school is thankful. It's about time that they get together." Alfred said.
"They'll get married over the weekend." she stated.
"I think they will get married next Tuesday."
Tiesa didn't know what to say next.
"I like your mask. I think that the snake scales suit you. Makes you seem other worldly and unattainable. I like your shoelaces." He rambled.
She lifted her dress up enough to see her converse.
"Thanks. I stole them from the president."
What was with him? Why was he not acting confident like normal?
"So, I was going to leave after the coronation."
"Me too."
"But I think that I should have at least one dance first."
"Of course."
"So, will the beautiful Slytherin grant the wish of a humble Thunderbird and dance with me?" he held out his hand and bowed.
"Of course. I am also a Thunderbird."
"And I am a Ravenclaw."
Alfred took her hand and it was all she could do to not scream with joy. She forgot everything and felt like she was floating while they danced. It honestly felt like it was just one dance when Miss Väinämöinen announced that it was midnight and that they should either go home or do whatever but they had to leave school grounds.
Felicks grabbed her hand and pulled her away from Alfred when he was looking for his sister.
"So?"
"Oh my God!"
"Tell me in the car!" He held out the door and she ran through it.
"It was amazing!" She gasped as she ran.
"WAIT!" Alfred yelled across the parking lot.
"NO! Don't wait! We want this to be like a fairy tale as much as possible! Keep running!" Felicks panted as he pulled his best friend through the maze of cars.
Tiesa almost made it to the car but her shoe was untied and loose and it fell off between a jeep and a truck.
"NO! Leave it!"
"But!"
"Nein! Non! 01001110 01101111!" He unlocked the car and the two friend drove off into the night.
...
"Alfred! Alfred! What are you doing? You promised me that we could leave after the coronation!" Madeleine whisper yelled.
She watched as her brother stared after a car leaving.
"Was that the girl you were dancing with? She was pretty."
"She was amazing." He turned around and was holding a converse shoe.
"So she ran off like Cinderella?"
"I think I know who she is but I don't know where she lives. I figure it out on Monday."
"You do realize we have a three day weekend."
Alfred dropped to his knees and let out an anguished cry of "NO!" One could almost say it rivaled that of Darth Vader when he learned of his wife's death. It was going to be a long weekend.
...
Tiesa wanted to wear her lucky converse but unfortunately she lost the other shoe in the parking lot so she had to resort to wearing a pair of brown boots with her plaid. So far, only three people have talked to her about it. Mainly Eduard, Raivis, and Felicks who are now slightly concerned about how calm she was about the finale.
She walked into her Calc class and immediately started to charge her phone.
When Alfred took his seat by her she pretended that she didn't have the night of her life with him at prom.
"Did you do anything fun over the weekend?" He asked her.
"I did. I beat Assassin's Creed for the second time. I finally got past the Water Temple in Zelda: Twilight Princess. So not much. And yourself?"
"I had an okay weekend. Tiina and Berwald are dating now."
"As much as I adore you for getting my ship together, you cannot call teachers by their first name."
"How did you know that I got them together?"
'Oh crap.'
"Anyway, I like your shoelaces."
"Thanks I stole them from the president."
Wait a minute! She didn't have shoelaces on!
"So do you want to go out on a date to the new pirate movie sometime? I'll buy the popcorn." He asked.
"If you are buying, then yes."
"So you wouldn't go if I wasn't?"
"Oh I would still go."
Alfred dug around in his backpack until he found what he was looking for. He pulled out her converse.
"I believe that since I have found my Cinderella, it is only fair that I put the grass stained slipper on her foot."
Tiesa took off her left boot and Alfred knelt in front of her and put the converse on her foot.
...
Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the school in a foreign language classroom, Felicks got in trouble because he screamed, "THEY FINALLY GOT TOGETHER OH MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!" when he saw Romana's snap chat.
Next: Little Red Riding Hood with Pruliech.
I know it's late for prom but I hope everyone had a good one. Or at least better than me. I got ditched... Oh well, next prom, I'm gonna be watching the Princess Bride and eat cheetos.
Request are welcome...
