The Royal Peril

Chapter 13-Never Disrespect a Goddess

"Marilyn, you little-" Uma came into the view of Marilyn, Alex, and Phil. She stopped in front of them.

"We have been looking everywhere for you!" Uma yelled. She glanced at the boys, who were trying to back away. "Get back here."

"Why do you care where I am?" Marilyn asked. "You never did before."

"Because we are working as a team right now," Uma rolled her eyes. "If we don't get you guys back to the Jolly Roger right now, we are going to be killed."

"Uma!" Melody came along, Miranda, Paul, Henry, and Nicolas following her. "Thank goodness you found them."

"'Thank goodness?'" Marilyn scrunched up her nose. "That's weird."

"And 'thank badness' isn't weird?" Melody crossed her arms. "We have to get to the ship, and now. Don't ask questions. We'll explain once we're out of the public eye."

"Alex," Jasmine approached her son the moment he stepped on the ship. "Where have you been?"

"Uh," Alex froze up.

"He and Phil were showing me around," Marilyn said. "I was starving, and while we got some food, we walked and talked."

"There's plenty of food here," Captain Hook grumbled.

"Yeah, well, your food sucks," Marilyn told him. "Now, does anyone mind explaining why Uma's mad at me? 'Cause, she isn't doing it herself."

"Our dad fled to Olympus," Paul explained.

"He's no dad of mine," Marilyn growled.

"You're right, he isn't," Amphitrite frowned at Marilyn. "Poseidon ran off to Olympus, and reported to Athena that Medusa's daughter is on the loose."

"Doesn't Athena hate Poseidon?" Marilyn asked. "I'm sure she wouldn't listen to him."

"Yes, she hates your father," Perseus hesitated when he received glares from Marilyn and Amphitrite and continued, "I mean, the sea god. Poseidon. Horse maker. All that good stuff. But she hates Medusa even more."

"Athena requested that she see you, so we're heading to Olympus," Melody explained. "Going there is delaying the whole 'stop Mal and save Auradon' process, so obviously, Uma's mad."

"Ohh," Marilyn thought for a moment. "She's been moodier than usual. Must be nervous." She looked at the impatient face of Captain Hook. "And you guys can't ditch me and let me go to Olympus on my own because?"

"No way," Alex butted in. "We can't do that! Do you know how much danger you'd be in for having Medusa as your mother and going to visit Athena?"

"Uma insists we come with you because we have this huge plan, and you're a part of it. So, we need you alive," Captain Hook told Marilyn. "Now, on to Olympus!"

"Hold on," Marilyn grabbed Captain Hook's arm when he tried to walk away. "You're just going to end the conversation like that?"

"Yes, lass," Captain Hook grinned. "Now, let go of my arm."

As Captain Hook left to discuss Captain things with Uma, Harry, and Smee, Marilyn's friends came up to her, Alex, and Phil.

"Where the hell were you guys?" Miranda asked. "Paul said he noticed you and Alex missing but didn't think much of it, then Phil was gone, and we thought we were all getting plucked one by one by the sea! Then you leave us all the moment we reach Agrabah!"

"Dramatic much?" Marilyn laughed.

"Marilyn, we know you're lying about what you guys were doing just now," Paul said. "Where were you guys?"
