Just a super quick chapter I thought I'd post. :)
Disclaimer: I do not own PJO or YJ.
"Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!"
"Dude, calm down-"
"Don't tell me what to do Shorty!"
Dick huffed, shouldering his blue duffel bag, "Don't call me that."
"…Would you prefer Dickiepoo?"
"No actually-"
"Too bad!"
He stuck his tongue out at me and I stuck mine back out at him.
"Children."
"Dad," "Bruce." Dick and I simultaneously greeted.
He glanced between the both of us before looking at me. "Stop tormenting your brother."
"I will if we get a move on sometime today."
"It takes a little while to pac-"
"We're only staying a couple of days. We only need a small duffel bag." I held up my purple one to emphasize. "Didn't I tell you guys to pack yesterday too?"
"Um…"
I rolled my eyes. "You guys forgot didn't you?"
"Well-"
"And if you use the superhero excuse, I will smack you."
Dad dragged a hand down his face before collecting Dick and I's bags. "Come on."
"Yes!" I cried jumping into the backseat of the black mustang, "Were leaving!"
"You're very excited for someone who practically lives at the place where were visiting." Observed Dick crawling into the seat next to me. Dad says shotgun isn't worthy enough for us. I think he just likes to have no one sit there so no one talks to him.
Oh yeah! Did I mention Dads driving us? Yep. We gave Alfred a break.
"Well, that's because it's New York!" I cried.
"And?"
"New York is amazing! The buildings, the side-show acts, crazy people! It's awesome!"
Dad revved up the engine; although he looked as if he wasn't listening I knew he was by the slight twitch at the mention of crazy people. He hates crazy people, they remind him of Joker.
Dad loathes Joker.
"No villains?" Asked Dick, probably thinking about Joker too.
I rolled my eyes, "Nope, just the usual burglars and stuff." Unless you count that fruit looped Titan and his monsters…than maybe.
"Heroes?"
I let a smile slither onto my face, "Nopers. No one can handle us New Yorkers for long Dick."
He furrowed his eyebrows, "Wasn't Wonder Woman your guy's patron for a little while?"
I rolled my eyes mentally, "Yes. But did you see how quickly she booked out of there? We made it pretty clear to her we didn't need her help capturing robbers." Or at least us demigods did...
Dad snorted, "Yes, you people did make it very clear. Diana won't even step inside New York City to visit anymore."
I smirked, "Good." Dad sent me a look, "Uh…I mean, poor princess."
"That sounds worse." Inquired Dick.
"Shush, Dickiepoo."
"Don't call me that!"
OOOOO
Five hours and six minutes later we were parked in front of the medium apartment building in which Percy lived in.
I pulled out my earplugs and grinned. Dad had called Sally apparently to let her know we were coming because she was standing at the top of the steps with a smile.
I tossed my Ipod Touch on the seat and ran out of the car up to her.
"Sally!" I yelled hugging her.
"Hello to you too Alex." She replied laughing.
"Oh my gods! I've missed you so much!" I explained pulling back.
"I know sweetheart, what has it been? Two years now?"
"Yes!" Something sparkly on Sally's hand caught my attention. The biggest and dopiest grin I've ever made appeared on my face, "What's that on your finger Sally? It's just sooooo sparkly!"
Her entire face lit up. She looked ecstatic, "Why that's my ring Alex."
I squealed like a little girl, "Congratulations!"
Sally laughed, "Thank you! Paul and I are so excited, we're already planning the wedding for this spring."
"This spring!"
"Mmmhhmmm, it'll be a lot of work. But I really want it before…you know…" She lowered her voice casting her eyes over my shoulder at my brother and Dad, "the war happens."
I winced ever so slightly. "Probably best."
She squeezed my shoulder and sent me a smile, "Probably." She began walking down the steps, "By the way," she called, "You're invited."
I grinned. "Awesome."
"It's the least I can do for keeping Perseus out of trouble for me."
I laughed. "So true."
