Reunited-A Reynico Fanfiction

[Chapter 25.5]

I'M ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE

  It was right on the day on which the Romans were leaving that Aphrodite finally answered to Piper and Lacy's IM.

"Oh, Hello, my favorite daughters!" Aphrodite cheerfully waved. "Good morning, Piper! And Lacy! Long time no see!"

"Yeah. 12 years." muttered Lacy.

"Mom, I-" Piper said.

"Yes. Yes. I know what you're gonna tell me. Your praetor doesn't like my present." Aphrodite cut her. "Demigods are such rude. Maybe I should-"

"Mother, please think about it this way." Piper said desperately. "Gucci, Prada, Chanel... you love fashion brands? Right?"

"Oh, of course!" Aphrodite said.

"And these past years, they launched a number of new designs." Piper said.

"And if you lost two-years worth of memory, you won't know they exists!" Lacy added. "Would you like it if that happens?"

"Hmmm..." Aphrodite said. "You've got a point..."

"And if you erase two years from your body, all of your clothes won't fit!" Piper said.

"Oh no." Lacy looked horrified. "I really hate it when my favorite dress doesn't fit anymore!"

"Ah. I understand why the young praetor was so upset." Aphrodite said. "Because I'm such a merciful god, I'm not going to punish your friend."

"And are you going to return her two years?" Piper asked hopefully.

"Meh. It's rude to return one's present." Said Aphrodite. "Or... I'm in a generous mood today... maybe if she asks politely to me... I might consider it... but returning my present, she needs to pay the price."

•-•-•-•-•

"Please, Lady Aphrodite." Reyna said. "I beg mercy for what I said. Please-."

"I know. I know. I could. BUT, you can't just return a present! You have to do something else for me."

"What do you mean by something, your majesty?"

"Your majesty? Oh, I like this one. Come here, to olympus right now, alone, and I'll see what I can make you do."

  Aphrodite swiped through the IM, cutting the connection.

"Your majesty? Seriously?" Piper asked.

  Reyna shrugged. "Goddesses love flatter." She said. "And now I have to go olympus. Us romans are supposed to leave today!"

"You're leaving after dinner. Hopefully you'll arrive there without any monster attacks and come back here before dinner..." Lacy said.

"Hopefully." Reyna agreed. "But how will I go there?"

"I can take care if that." Piper said.

  A few minutes and a conversation with Chiron later, Piper appeared in front of the strawberry fields with a black genesis coupe.

  "Cool." Hannah said. "I want charmspeak."

"We're freshly out of them." Piper joked. She handed Reyna the keys. "Good luck."

"Just don't get blasted with godly magic." Lacy said.

"I hope you don't get turned into an empty lipstick container." Hannah added.

"Ohhhhkay..." Reyna said. "I'll try to stay safe."

•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•

  Nico paced around the Aphrodite cabin. "So you just let her go?" He asked.

  "Come on, Nico." Hannah looked up from her sketchbook. "Relax. She'll be back soon. It's not like she walked into tartarus or something."

  Nico grimaced at the mention of the deep abyss god.

"That could be a death trap!" Nico said. "You know that gods hate insults. Aphrodite can curse her! And if Reyna went there alone..."

"She'll be perfectly fine." Lacy finished.

"But what if she meets another angry minor god?"

"She won't."

"What if Aphrodite asks her to give her life in exchange?"

"She won't."

"Or what if-"

"That won't happen."

"I didn't even finish my sentence." Nico scowled.

Sorry guys, for leaving you hanging for almost a year...
