Short Summary: What happens when interfering gods and goddesses, broken down teenagers and a ship are added together? Bonding sessions of course! And what comes with bonding sessions? Unravelled secrets! Join our Argo II members (minus one plus another) as the facades of the said demigods are unravelled, slowly but surely./ Rated T for: suicide, abuse, self-harm, etc

Extended Summary: When an interfering spirit personification, who goes by the name of Philotes, and the Queen of the Gods, Hera, work together to attempt to make the Seven, Nico and Thalia more bonded, it starts off with a little bit of Aphrodite-induced-fluff and de-aging via Hebe before plunging past the facades of all of the demigods, revealing their innermost thoughts and feelings, Apollo style. Of course, the demigods strongly disapprove of this idea, but who says no to a spirit/minor goddess and an Olympian goddess, the Queen of Gods no less? The ones with less internal demons can only watch as their other friends are torn down by bottled emotions, bit by bit.

A scream echoed along the hallways of the Argo II. Other crew members woke up almost instantly and rushed over to the source of the screaming. A blonde haired girl was kicking and screaming and yelling and by the time the others got there, the raven haired son of Poseidon was already sitting beside her, calming and coaxing and whispering sweet nothings to her.

Annabeth by then had woken up and began to calm herself down slowly.

It had been a few days since she and Percy had escaped the grasps of Tartarus and Annabeth had been having nightly nightmares, so much that Percy had requested to sleep on the floor in her room beside her bed just so that he could calm her easily. Not because they were in a relationship or anything, only because he was the only one who knew exactly what she went through in hell, aside from being her self-proclaimed brother in spite of all the Athena-Poseidon rivalry.

On a completely unrelated side note, Annabeth found it suspicious that Percy didn't have any, yet she took it all in stride, dismissing it as him being more strong willed than she was.

The rest of the crew would instantly rush to the scene and place a hand somewhere on Annabeth's shoulders, lower legs, arms, wherever she felt comfortable, to reassure her that they were all still there, still alive, and she was out of there. No one dared call Tartarus by his true name while any of the three survivors of hell were present. Hades, they didn't even dare to do it when they weren't. Names held power after all.

So our story begins here, just another night of sleep interrupted by screaming and nightmares.

As per usual, Annabeth screamed due to her nightmares.

As per usual, everyone on board the Argo II woke up at the ungodly hour.

As per usual, Percy was already seated by her side by the time the others got there, giving her brotherly comfort.

As per usual, the rest of the crew members of the Argo II laid a hand on Annabeth, giving her support, an anchor.

As per usual, Annabeth woke up and calmed down.

As per usual, everyone nearly fell asleep in the same room, in a tangle of limbs.

Not as per usual, Reyna was missing, not like many noticed at that point of time at night.

Not as per usual, Thalia was on board the ship, wandering around and confused.

Not as per usual, two goddesses, a god and a spirit personification were plotting, sorry planning, together, preparing another plan (that had the potential to go so wrong).

Not as per usual, before the Seven plus Nico could fall asleep by Annabeth's side, two flashes of light startled the group awake.

Hera, looking as regal as ever with her long black hair and large soft brown eyes, a cloak of peacock feathers draped over her, along with a golden lotus-topped staff in her hand. stood there. Beside Hera stood a lady with dark brown hair and too many decorative rose wreaths on her head, her black-brown eyes glowing warmly.

"Lady Hera," the demigods bowed briefly.

Hera and the mysterious lady were busy staring down everyone when Thalia walked in.

"Hey guys!" Thalia smiled, waving hello.

"Pinecone face!" Percy and Nico exclaimed, standing and running up to greet her, any thoughts about the two ladies gone.

"Nice to see you two idiots again," she smirked. "Now someone do the introductions?"

"Those can wait," the mysterious lady cut in.

"Yes, they definitely can," a voice sounded drily, an Iris Message opening up.

"Reyna!" Jason exclaimed. "Where are you?"

"Camp Half-Blood, for some reason. I fell asleep on the Argo and woke up here. You all be glad that its the Greek camp, so I was able to find someone to help me IM you, unlike if I was in Camp Jupiter," Reyna replied. "Now, how did I get here?"

"Yes, someone also care to tell me why and how I'm here instead of hunting with the rest of the Hunters?" Thalia demanded.

"It was our doing," Hera said, stepping into the conversation.

"'Our'?" Frank questioned, unconsciously drawing Hazel closer to him. Not minding, Hazel simply snuggled deeper into his body.

"Yes, our. Hera and I, in fact," the lady spoke up. "I am Philotes, the spirit personification and minor goddess of affection, friendship and sex."

"Which means to say one of these has gone wrong amongst us, or you just like messing with us. I'd say that it'd be friendship that's messed up since sex is a big no no in the middle of war and affection isn't that messed up," Annabeth deduced. "So which is it?"

"Friendship. Philotes will explain this in greater detail to you but I would like to address some issues first. Firstly, Reyna, none of this affects you much and you have been sent to Camp Half-Blood to wait out on this little bonding session, which shouldn't be that long to you," Hera replied, swiping through the IM before turning back to the demigods. "Now, time will be frozen and some other gods or goddesses will be joining you to help facilitate this whole thing. Time will only continue when we deem you bonded enough to continue."

"I felt disruptions in friendship amongst you," Philotes started. "My sister, Eris, goddess of strife and discord, has also confirmed the slight discord and strife amongst you. I would have to warn you, my other sister, Oizys, goddess of misery, anxiety, grief and depression, says that there is much of her domains amongst you and that these are part of the basis of the strife and discord."

"Wait right there," Leo said. "So you goddesses have nothing better to do than watch us all day?"

"No, its because our domains are related to your issues and it wouldn't do very well if the Seven and two other important demigods fail since they can't work together well enough," Philotes answered calmly.

Leo nodded.

"Anyway, your time starts now. Your main facilitator will be coming in the morning, so sleep," Hera commanded.

Somehow or another, against their wills, the demigods' eyelids drooped and they fell into a deep dreamless slumber.

Hypnos stepped out of the shadows and nodded at the two goddesses before disappearing into a flash of light.

"Thank you Hypnos," Philotes whispered to the air.

Hera and Philotes got to work, flashing the demigods to a palace in a corner of the earth in the sky.

"Are you sure that this will work?" Philotes asked Hera nervously.

"I don't know, but it'll have to, or Olympus is doomed," Hera sighed.

(A/N: Yay! My... Um... What do you call it? Writers' Block book, yeah. I'm on a heavy writers' block for oGaP, sadly. So... This book was created since I just needed to get some friendshippy stuff out there. Be glad I'm doing this or I may just end up writing MLP songs into oGaP. Yeah. No, there won't be MLP songs in Facades. So, for this story, anyone can drop me a review or PM to suggest ideas for the story. I may or may not use them since this is mainly a free writing piece, but I do have plans for the ending and some other stuff.

Peace!
