Chapter 13: Dance
The gods opened the door, and met three women that they had missed. The three gods embraced their wives in a loving gesture.
"What are you doing here?" Poseidon asked
"Well we heard you had a dance" Hera said "so we decided to let you have your time with your wives. It's just one night" then she looked at Zeus harshly "And you have got a lot of explaining to do mister"
Zeus looked at his brothers pleadingly. Asking them to save him from the wrath that is his wife, Hades gave a silent chuckle and Poseidon shook his head at his brother's dramatic problems. Poseidon faced his wife and gave her a kiss
"How are you? How is everything in Atlantis? Why are you here? And what are you wearing?"
"Well I am fine. Everything's great. Hera invited me here. And I am your fellow maid of the sea."
Amphrite wore an outfit almost similar to Poseidon's, a white lacy shirt, under a long black cardigan, under a belt around the waist and a denim skirt, with matching boots and pirate hat.
"Well I think its adorable honey. Like being a teen again" Poseidon said
"Yeah… even if I never really had a teenage life…" Amphrite said "This is going to be fun."
The gods, and their wives, met the demigods in the lobby of their apartment. Percy and Annabeth looked like they had popped out of a book. Percy was wearing a white collared shirt with a red and gold tie, black slacks, a vest and a long robe. Annabeth wore similar except instead of slacks she wore black pleated skirt and long socks. They looked like students from Hogwarts! Nico was wearing a standard cloak, which made him look paler, and a scythe with a plastic blade. He looked like the grim reaper fit for Halloween.
"Hey guys!" Percy called when he saw them. Poseidon heard Amphrite scoff at his playfulness, which made Poseidon hold her tighter.
"Hi" Zeus responded curious he asked "Where's Thalia?" Hera glared at her husband for mentioning the girl
"Oh, she's not going" Annabeth said "she has to meet with her sister." She noticed Hera and smiled nicely "Hello, I'm Annabeth" offering to shake her hand.
"I'm Helen" Hera said shaking her hand different curses and words flowed in her head looking at the child of Athena
"Nice to meet you" she said
"I think it's time for introductions" Percy said
"Right" Zeus agreed "this is my girlfriend, Helen"
The goddesses saw how useless their husbands were going to be and stepped forward to introduce themselves.
"I'm Amy" Amphrite said
"And I'm Stephanie" Persephone said shaking the demigods' hands. And once it came to Nico she glared at him venomously. He cringed.
"Alright!" Hades said making nearly everyone jump "I believe we have a place to go to so... Let's go!"
They into the dark looking gym. The entire gym had their lights closed except for dozens of lanterns and electric torches along with rows of armor, giving it that haunted effect.
"Nice" Percy commented
"It looks almost like my room" Nico muttered "just remove the pumpkins and add a bed" then he wandered off.
The gods were looking at awe with the display.
"This is actually quite creative" Persephone said "it had better decoration than that haunted house in Rio. Then she and Hades went off. Poseidon looked at Amphrite and smiled.
"Want to Dance, milady" he said in an old cowboy accent.
Amphrite gave a slight giggle then took his hand "Of course, sir" and they were off to the dance floor.
Zeus smiled at Hera "let's have some fun then"
Zeus and Hera were both on a table catching up of everything that happened. Poseidon and Amphrite were doing an old fashioned swing dance, looking like they had a good time as Poseidon managed to flip her in his arms, Amphrite nearly kicking his face in the process. The other students looked at them in awe as they enjoyed their time together. Hades and Persephone headed over to one of the make shift haunted houses that were placed in some of the classrooms, hoping for some entertainment. They had returned to the Gym when all the lights started to flicker. The lanterns all turned off simultaneously. The torches were turning off one by one. The door, slamming loudly on the frame. The students started to scream in panic. Hades and Persephone headed to where Zeus and Hera were, as did Poseidon and Amphrite.
"What's going on?" Poseidon asked through all the screaming.
No one answered as the room started to light up in a light grey. And a dark figure was visibly lurking. Then all of the sudden a white light flickered on the figure, revealing a man in a black coat and half a skull mask, holding a six foot long scythe. The entire hall was screaming trying to get out of the door.
"Surge mea satellites, et egredimini ad nocte huius consecrat vigilia"
"Rise up, my minions, and come out at night this hallows eve" Hades muttered "I think I know who that is…"
The knights around the gym started to move towards the crowd, Holding big looking guns. Then all of the sudden.
POP!
The guns all shot out green and orange confetti. One of the knights headed on stage and removed his… or her helmet. The strict science teacher was dressed in half a knight with a really big smile on her face.
"Alright!" she said "Now that was an amazing scare, wasn't it." the other knights removed the masks. They were all teachers! All wearing similar smirks and grins.
"I was wondering why there wasn't any Adult supervision in this party" Hera said "I just cant believe they were the ones to scare the student body"
The entire student body started to laugh, even the gods. They cheered as their teachers gave a bow.
"Who's the one in the mask!" one of the students asked
"Do you want to unmask the mysterious mask man?"
The crowd all cheered in agreement. The teacher went to the hooded man, but he stopped her from getting any close with his scythe. She did many different attempts. Even using the rifle to disarm him. the crowd was laughing at the display before she did manage to disarm him. The other teachers blocked his way out.
"I think it's time to remove the mask, don't you think" grumbling he took off the mask.
Underneath was Nico di Angelo. The entire crowd broke into applause. Still in his dark and scary look with his dark cloak, he smiled deviously. Scaring some of the people in the front row but laughing all the same.
After that scene everyone was back into party mood. The goddesses left claiming to have business to attend to. Hades was fulfining his promise and was dancing with a nice girl. Zeus went off to…somewhere and Percy was doing his…business. Leaving Annabeth and Poseidon in their table.
"They did a nice job didn't they, sir" Annabeth said
"Sir?" Poseidon asked totally bewildered
"Of course they might make something better in Olympus. Don't they, Lord Poseidon"
Poseidon paled, knowing he couldn't pull the wool over the daughter of Athena's eyes he asked "How long?"
"Since your argument the day we went shopping" Annabeth said "I had my suspicions since the field trip to camp. I'm actually surprised that Nico or Thalia hasn't figured it out yet. I understand Percy but he's… well Percy. Should I tell…"
"No" Poseidon said "You can't tell them."
"Why?"
"You just… cant"
"Alright sur I promise I wont tell them"
"You cant just promise you have to swear that you won't tell them till this…. Situation is over"
She looked at Poseidon with skeptical eyes. Then sighed "I swear on the River Styx that I wont tell them until you gave the okay"
"Thank you" Poseidon said
"If it isn't too much to ask, how this did happen?"
"Hera, Demeter and Hestia"
She nodded her head in understanding. Then Percy came along with Zeus and Hades.
"Anyway, Percy can you join me I need to get something from my locker." Annabeth said "And I think I need to go home and check on Thalia. Who knows what she could've done to my apartment."
When the two disappeared, the other two brothers looked at Poseidon expectantly.
"What was that all about?" Hades asked
"She knows"
