"what?" the twins ask in unison
"well i suppose thats part of what got her exiled~" joan thought aloud
"alrighty you know a lot"
"mh, it's just what grandma told me or what i got from history lessons from hades"
" i constantly forget that you are a demi-god"
the following days leading up to when they left went slowly and painfully. Neither twin, despite not really wanting to go were impatient just wanted it over with. but the day came and they got onto the bus. they sat down in a row of three. carci sat at the window seat and joan in the middle.
"weird" catherine says
she was leaning over the arm into the aisle.
"what?"
"i recgonize some of these kids from the party" catherine says
"no way!? really?" carci asks standing up and leaning on the back of the seat in front of her
"oh jeez" she says
there was a set of blondes that varried in hight. they werent siblings from what they could tell. there was a black haired kid in a beanie who had been with a girl. his counter part the girl with the over sized glasses sat a few rows back on the other side of the aisle from him.
"wasn't the barbie set tryna smuggle out a bowl of chips?" carci asks
"yeah that was them." catherine says
"i'm sorry, what?" joan says standing up
"over there" carci said pointing.
"the set of 5 blondes. we went to this party thing last summer, me and catherine, and those 5 were tying to smuggle out a bowl of chips. no clue why but it was entertaining to say the least" carci explains
"no kidding. are you serious?" joan asks
"yeah. the smallest, i think he's roughy 4'9 and was wearing a full blown ball gown" catherine says
"oh my gods" joan says
"he's truely an icon" catherine adds
"oh yeah, and that kid over there with the black hair and yellow beanie has a counter part over there the girl with glasses that are far to big for her" carci says pointing at the girl
"yeah?"
"no clue what they were asking but they were asking something that repulsed people and they got dirty looks all over. honestly glad we didnt bother asking them" she continues
"fuck" joan says
"yeah that party was full of weird kids, we are no exception from that" catherine says
"so i hear" joan says chuckling
they watched kids come on the bus making comments on them.
"fuck fuck fuck fuck, catherine duck" carci says sitting down
"huh what- oh" catherine turned away from the aisle
"joan. sit. down." carci says tugging the red head back to her seat.
joan looked at her weirdly
"what the hell?" she asks
carci makes a face and joan just sighs
they talked for a while as the bus started to move. the conversation found its way on the topic of greek myths.
"how true are the myths to reality?" carci says
"uh be specific on the myth" joan says
"hades" catherine says
"you have to be more specific than that" joan says
"and persephone" carci finishes
"oh! oh." joan says
"ok so demeater already had problems with hades. he accidentally ruined an entire season worth of crops uhm and preseph really like him, platonically at first. but uh you know, eventually that changed and one day she and demeter got into a HUGE fight and persephone went to hades for a very long time and thought he had kidnap her and she refuses to change that so" joan says
"oh~ the tea" catherine says
"huh. theres a lot of stories and poems where she's refered to AS dread persephone and what not" carci says
"aw man! yeah" is all joan says
