Nancy Bobofit And The Halfgods

New Rome

Jason Was super Excited even as he landed near the back of camp. Using magic to help him and his friend Jette get there faster. He loved traveling a lot in country, despite growing Up in California.

He could feel himself Explode. He Rejoiced as He Hugged Jette.

"To much!" She yelled, "I don't care!" He Squeaked. "Jette! That was our best record yet"

"You kept a record?" She frowned. "Duh! What else? Now that We beat Our record!"

Ever since Jason has Remembered his Time at New Rome, He always Wanted to be The Next Praetor. And possibly share his position with someone he likes..

"Did you have To bring me along? Sime could be worried about me." Jette asked. Jason smiled and Shrugged, "The Fuan can keep himself occupied and amused. I'm sure he'll be fine." Jette eyebrows, "How Long have you said you Been in New Rome again?"

Jason's smile kinda Fades. "Oh uh.. I'm 11 right?" He asked as if it was a dumb question. Jette crossed her arms "You really are Dyslexic. ADHD."

Jason tilts his head confused "Is that a compliment? Or..." Jette face palmed. "Grace, you are! You're 11!"

"Hey! No fair! You're a Few Weeks older than me!" He saids. Jette Smirks, "Yes" Jason Frowns. But then He Hugs her. "We'll probably be in trouble for being out so late" he tells her . "Oh no, I won't, you will." She points. "Look I get it!" Jette begins to Walk into New Rome. "Ramirez Arellano has Done A lot for you ever Since you came. You want to-"

"To what?" A young looking twenty year old Man with Curly Black hair. Wearing Roman fabric and Armor, and holding a medal spear asked as he approached the Two kids. He looks at them with Stern amber brown eyes. Jette looks up, Jason, Upset and embarrassed Hides behind her. "Where have you two been?" he growled. "Why weren't you two Back here by Sundown? You came half an Hour late" Jette and Jason Both look down. It was a total Angry Parent moment. "I-I'm sorry..But- " Jason tried to say as He slowly lifted up his head. "Jason Grace. As the Son of Jupiter I expected more from you. You need to be a good example to your acquaintances, not a bad one." He issued to him. That kinda stung Jason, but he didn't say anything. "As for you Jette. I'm equally disappointed. Daughter of Mithras, one of Romans' influential deities, can't even make it back on time." Jette was Gonna get mad but then He continues. "Both of you should've known by now, that leaving New Rome, unprepared, and with no Adult supervision, is super dangerous. And reckless." he takes his medal spear he was holding and thuds it to the ground. Making them both stand up straight. "I don't want you to come back injured. Or worse, not coming back at all." This makes Jette and Jason look at each other. Jette was about to say something but Jason spoke up, "Please! Praetor Casimir! Don't punish Jette here for my behavior! I was the one who took the Pegasi! I was the one who wanted to beat the Record so I can become the Next Praetor for the Tweighth legion!- I-"

Casimir began to laugh. First harshly, but then Transitions more lighter and kinder heart in tone. "Oh my Gods, you two are the best troublemakers I ever met. What? Who said coming back late was gonna affect your status quo?" This made Jette and Jason confused. "But seriously." He stops and gets serious again. "Don't leave without proper authority, again. Especially if mean you stay out late and have us worried. And one last thing-"

He gets down on his knees and looks at Jason, "You are still too young, Jason. Do you earn it? Yes. But it's only by a heroic act that is seen by the county, of which then your Praetor place is given." He explains, "Rules are rules, and you have to at least be 13 to be a Praetor. Same with the person who you want to share that position with, if you are the same age, usually it's said you guys can be or are romantically involved. But eh. People just like making stuff up. Though it seems logical and reasonable. I also don't personally agree. The least is make it 18 because last time it was 39." He shrugs.

"Ok..." Jason kinda glooms. "...so wait.. how did you become Praetor? You are the only one"

Casimir gets an unnerving look. "Uh..Well.. Complication... I'll tell you that later some time but right now I need to do work." He saids as he stood up once more. "You two go off to bed right now. I need to see if My two younger Cousins are well."

Jette and Jason both frown at the same time. They both mutter to each other how Adults make no sense because they say one thing and then change that Topic to a completely different topic.

Surprisingly, though they weren't Roommates, the two would sneak out to their Rooms to hang out Together once in a while. It was Time for Jason to go into Jettes' Room. "Cool Stuff." He grinned as He Turned on the flash light under their Pillow fort. "Thanks" she Saids. "Jason, do you ever think that- I don't know- Casimir is just-" She froze to think "Taking someone else's Place?" She scowls. He chuckles . " I mean he's old but, Like who? What do you mean-"

At that, the door opens. And a Woman with brown hair, blue and red Streaks, almond skin, and Light brown eyes enter Jette's Room. "Hey Jette!" She says, "Hey Jason." Jason In the Fort is heard saying "Aw man." The woman laughs. "Don't worry, you two aren't in trouble. Casimir just told me the two of you have just returned. I only wanted to Give you this, Jette. It's from Sime" Jette pokes out her head "what happened?" She asked. "Nothing. He just wanted to give you a letter with money to let you know you won't be seeing him tomorrow. He has...duties to attend to.."

Jette looked to Jason and chuckled, "Duties". Jason rolled his eyes. "Goodnight well Jette, and oh yea..Goodnight Jason" She told them in soothe and sweetly manner. "Goodnight, Jocelyn." Jason Muttered. She quietly giggles as she goes over to the door, and gently closes it when she leaves. Jason turns off His flashlight, turns to His side. Jette does the same. And they both fall asleep in their fort.
