Chapter Five—The dance—
I finished getting Torch ready as Junior came along.
“Hey, you know Dad’s making us take Chaos with us?” Junior said.
“What’s new. I guess that means that we have
to pick up this Rumor girl, huh?” I said.
“Yeah.”
“Oh well. I just hope Torch can handle it.”
I said as I hopped in. Junior followed as Chaos came in. We
then departed as we said bye to Hades and pain and panic.
“What a looser.” Said Chaos.
“Who’s a looser?” I asked.
“Your dad.”
“Why is he a looser?!?” I said getting slightly
irratated.
“You’ll soon see why.” Was all Chaos replied.
No one spoke to him afterwards. We stopped by Lura’s house first.
She came out wearing a dark green dress that barly covered her. She
hopped in the chariot and sat next to Junior. We then picked up Rumor.
Rumor was a tall girl that had a nose like my father.
We soon arrived at the dance and I parked my chariot.
I unhooked Torch as we met up with Axl and Starla. They had their
dates also. We walked into the dance and hung out. Junior and
Lura went on the dance floor while I hung out at the bleachers waiting
for my other friends. I spotted Axl and her date dancing, and I think
it is funny to see two centaurs dancing because they clear a path when
they dance!
“Hey Calli, see you are alone. You are so
lucky.”
I turned around to see whose depressing voice that
was. “Oh, hello Cassandra. I would ask you how things are going
for you, but by the looks of Icarus hanging all over you I’d guess you
are not that good.” I replied.
“Yeah, you nailed it.” Cassandra replied
as she sat down next to me.
“Cassie baby!” shouted Icarus as he put his arm
around her. “Why don’t you dance with me? We’d be, like--”
“Forget it Icarus, never in a million years!”
replied Cassandra. She got up and sat on the other side of me to
get away from Icaus. Daphne then appeared, looking for some one.
“ I wonder who she is looking for,” said Cassandra. “Let me think, could
it possibly be Junior?”
“Yup,” I said. “We better stop her before
she ruins Junior’s night. He is really looking forward to this.”
“What do you mean ‘we’?”
I was just about to complian when I saw Hercules
come in. “Hey Herc!” I shouted and he came over. “I need your
help, really bad!”
“What is it Calli?” Herc said sounding entusiastic
to help as usual.
“You have to go over to Daphne and entertain her
so she doesn’t ruin Junior’s night.” I said.
“Oh no!” shouted Hercules. “I am NOT doing
that with her! What if she starts to like me! Oh no, Call,
you are on your own.”
“Hey Daphne!” I shouted and waved my arms
like a meniac. She came over and sat down next to Icarus, who got up right
afterwards.
“What Callisto?” said Daphne as she was scoping
the crowd for Junior.
“Um, just wanted to say hi, so, hi.” I said. “Who
did ya come with?”
“No one! I was supposed to go with Jun--”
“Well, Herc didn’t come with any one. He
could be your date! He is a hero in training also! That beats
Junior now doesn’t it?” I said.
“Well, that’s not a bad idea…” Daphne said as she
eyed Herc.
“I, um.. have to go to the boys room!” shouted
Herc as he ran away. Icarus folloewed him.
“So, Call, any hot guys here?” asked Daphne.
“I saw some, I guuess.” I replied.
“Show them to me!”
“No” I said to her giving her a look.
“Come on Callisto, show me please!!!” Daphne
begged.
“Stop bugging me before my hair looses it’s shape!
You have no idea what it is like to manage hair that is fire.” I
said as I fixed it.
The night passed and we danced and had fun.
I didn’t dee Junior that much because I was hanging with Daphne.
I hung out with Hercules also. He told me about the monsters that
he fighted. He enjoyed telling me the stories because I enjoyed hearing
them. I visited him while he was training on Phil’s island some times.
Usualy Phil kicked me out. But I was at the dance now.
I saw Chaos a few times. I met Rumor and
she was ok. She talked about a lot of people though. If you
wanted to get the inside scoop on the latest gossip, you would talk to
her.
The night ended and then we all left. I ahd
to drop off a lot of people. Torch was tired afterwards and barly
made it to her bed before collapsing. I was beat also, so I went
to bed.
