It was the day after the cocktail challenge, and Persephone was practicing gymnastics in the mansion's gym. "Hmm. So King thinks he can just ignore me?" Persephone thought to herself, "How rude of him. But I'll be sure to put him in his place… just gotta wait for him to pass by…" Persephone grinned as she waited.

After a short while, King did pass by since he was on his way to make himself breakfast, "Hey King! Beat this!" Persephone yelled out to the rich man, before doing multiple flips on a balance beam. Persephone ended her trick off by jumping off the beam and doing a perfect split on the floor, something most people would spend a while learning how to do.

King took one look at Persephone after she did her trick, rolled his eyes, and walked away, leaving her in complete shock. "WHAT!?" Persephone let out, "H-how!? That was the most impressive trick I know, and he didn't even say a word in response!" Persephone's jaw dropped, "Ohohoho! He thinks he can give me the cold shoulder and act like he's better than me? Nice try King, but I won't let you best me!" Persephone began to chant to herself, "Yes yes yes yes! I will win! I-" [1]

"Um… why are you chanting to yourself?" Wyatt poked his head out the gym's door.

"Mind your own business commoner!" Persephone rolled her eyes at Wyatt's question, causing the caretaker to shrug and walk away.

Persephone then moved to the dining room, where she was stacking glasses, "Ok, this is bound to get King's attention, and then he will admit that I am far better than he'll ever be!" Persephone smirked as she stacked multiple glasses on top of each other, making a beautiful glass structure. Persephone got off the dining room table and looked at the structure she had made.

King walked into the dining room and took one good look at the glass structure, "Eugh." King moaned, "One of the idiots left their garbage on the table." King pushed all of the glasses off of the table, causing almost all of them to shatter on the floor. "Hey you," King pointed at Persephone, "Clean up this garbage you piece of trash," King ordered Persephone as he left the room with his breakfast.

Persephone stood there with her eyes wide, "How…? How is he not impressed?" Persephone shook her head, "No no… don't worry about it Pixie, he's just trying to mess with your head." Persephone clenched her fist, "Yeah… that's it."

Persephone had one last idea in mind, she was going to jump off of the mansion's balcony onto a mini trampoline she had set up underneath, where she would then do a flip midair while landing straight into the mansion's pool.

"There he is!" Persephone looked at King about to jump in the pool, "It's now or never!" Persephone grinned.

Meanwhile, on ground level, Paige was also about to go swimming when she noticed the trampoline set up, "Oooh!" Paige ran up to the trampoline, "I could do some really cool tricks with this!" Paige looked around to see if someone was using it, "Well, it seems nobody will mind if I just… yoink!" Paige took the trampoline and moved it to the deepest end of the pool.

"Hey, King!" Persephone yelled out from the balcony, "Check this out, commoner!" Persephone jumped straight off the roof and expected to hit the trampoline… only to be met the realization that the trampoline was no longer there. "Oh cra-" Persephone mumbled as she fell straight through about a foot of the ground, leaving a hole that was shaped like her. [2]

"Hmm." Paige said to herself as she jumped off the trampoline and into the pool, "I wonder what that noise was."

"Huh?" King raised an eyebrow and opened his eye, "Did some piece of trash say my name?"

"Oh, hey King!" Paige waved, "Have you seen where all of our cups went? I couldn't find any of them."

King rolled his eyes and resumed swimming, with Paige shrugging it off and going back to doing her own thing. It seems like Persephone will just have to try again if she wants to get King's attention…
