Ah, normal Saturday, my mom's who knows where and we're going to have a meeting with the gods. How refreshing.

We got to the cloud thingy and Rudy was there too.

"I feel neglected. You guys are 10 minutes late. Do you know how many seconds I had to wait?!" Rudy rambled on as Mini corrected his calculations through his rant.

I looked around to see the Gods not there. Rudy took notice of this.

"The big guys will be here in a bit- Now, as I was saying-"

Aiden looked around like a child at the playground. The twins were whispering to each other, Brynne was snacking, and Mini and Rudy were having their moment. I sighed, and decided there was nothing better to do then help him.

"Acharya." He turned around to meet my eyes.

"Need help?" He gave a bashful smile and nodded.

I walked toward him and almost tripped. He grabbed my hand. His hand was warm, and tense. His face was red as he slowly let go and our fingers lingered close. Is that what my face looked like right now?

"Uh, yeah. Where are we? What exactly is this? W-"

"Stop. So, you already know we are Pandavas. The Gods don't share any DNA with us, so they're our soul dads. Indra's mine, Dharma Raja's Mini's, and Vayu's Brynne's. We're the reincarcination of the older ones. This is The Court Of The Sky. And-"

Then, of course, with a dramatic entrance, here come the Gods. Indra sat tall gripping his lightning bolt. Dharma Raja and Vayu sat the same as always.

Long story short, we were right. Saraswathi has been trapped in a book, and extreme knowledge would be given to the person who found her. Aiden looked around with wide eyes, like a child. Our hands touched again, and this time, I didn't pull away. He didn't either, and our pinkies interlocked. 

We went back to the museum, and went over the prophecy again.

"Music is a treasure,
Sounds that make pleasure.
I hide within knowledge,
Giving creativity, and loving.
Each note is a new happiness,
In which my idolism commence."

And like a movie, two amazing (and annoying) twin's were going to save the day.

It didn't take Nikita long to pick the lock to the door.

Then Sheela ran in.

"Wait, wait, wait. Hold on!" Nikita tried to stop it,

but it was too late.

"To find the deity of knowledge,
there is more to seek!
Find the one you wish to not acknowledge,
one who is running as you speak!
Find the smartest city,
watch him tear it down.
Find the book of knowledge,
and then save the town."

Sheela sighed and shook out her hands as if she just wrote a five page essay.

"That's....something" Rudy shrugged.

"It really is. What's "the smartest city"?" Mini thought about it.

I couldn't think of anything. All I could think about was my mom...

Aiden glanced at me. It seemed we had a little truce...

and it's totally not because I wanted to take a break from hating him so I could crush on him for a bit.

Anyways, he noticed I was off. He raised his eyebrow slightly, his eyes saying, "You ok?"

I looked away. I didn't need him to know about my problems. 

He did the thing. HE DID THE FREAKING THING. He let our fingers touch again and his thumb made circles on the back of my hand.

Oh gods, if I was worried about anything I forgot it now. 

And I swear, I saw a little smirk on his face.

"Aru? Earth to Aru?" Brynne smiled at me knowingly at me. She had been relatively quiet, which is never good.

"Huh? I'm here!" Aiden's hand left mine and I felt a bit of sadness at the loss of contact.

Mini's eyes widened as she realized.

And Rudy- well, Rudy's just Rudy.

Mini sighed and saved us, once again.

"Varanasi. We have to go to Varanasi." 

A/n - hey!! it's been a while, but I'll try to get back on schedule. sorry!! I have CTP and stuff coming up. Plus, I'm 99% convinced my math teacher is a gremlin. And not the good kind!
