Sun kissed - Apollo.

29: A ride with the sun.

I was doing the dishes at home, my brother as mother went out to do some grocery shopping for the afternoon.

Tomorrow i'm starting my first day at my new school along with my brother percy. I'm very excited and can't wait to make new friends and get along with everyone.

My mom and Percy went out to do groceries, but also because Percy also still needs school supplies. I got mine the first day i got home, but most were still from last school year.

Our doorbell rings, i frown my brows before i head to the door.

I'm not expecting anyone, nor are my mom or Percy.

I peep through the little peephole in our door before i pull open the door. Flying into his arms before he knows what hit him.

I hadn't seen physically for a while now. The last bits of the quest had been hectic and even when the quest had finished, i had rarely seen him visit my dreams. He explained that he was rather busy with his siblings and an annoyed father.

"I missed you too." He says, rubbing my back softly

I pull away from him and look him over. He's dressed casual, just a white hoodie with a small sun on it and blue jeans. His hair is messy and the curls seem to stand up. His face seems a little red from too much sun exposure, which is odd.

"What are you doing here?" I ask softly, a little too excited.

He chuckles. "What i'm doing here? I think i promised a sea princess that we would take a ride around the world."

"That's today?"

"Jupp." He says as he pulls me out of the apartment. "The ride is just up on the roof."

I want to protest and ask how he managed it. "Won't my mom get worried?"

But Phoebus waves it off. "Nah, she said it was cool." He says, before his smile wavers. "She's a scary lady."

I laugh, walking up the stairs to the rooftop. "You can say that again. Between you and me, she turned her husband to stone."

He laughs for a brief moment. "So i've heard."

He stopped in front of a Maserati Spyder. I had seen it before but it wouldn't make it any less impressive. I like that car, something my brother and i have in common, we love the same car.

I couldn't wait to get in and take a tour of the world, see all the wonders from above and one day go there for real. A day with Phoebus and no one could interrupt.

Before i got in, i stopped and looked at Phoebus. "What about me being the daughter of the sea and your father making it clear that me and my brother shouldn't attempt to fly?" I ask.

Phoebus shrugged. "Don't worry, i stuck a deal with my old man. We're safe."

"A deal?" I ask.

But Phoebus ushers me into the car and closes the door, i buckle myself into the seat and ready for the tour. Before Phoebus gets into the driver's seat next to me.

He shrugs. "Nothing much, just lending him my lyre for the day." He tells me before he leans over. "Heard him play this morning, he's awful at it."

Over our heads, thunder booms, letting us know that Zeus had heard his son say to me that he's an awful musician. But all it got out of me was a snicker.

"I think he heard you." I tell him.

Phoebus shrugs his shoulders before he starts the car and speeds off into the distance. Going in the direction of east. Over the sea and probably in the direction of the continent of Europe. I couldn't wait to see London, Paris and Rome. The temple of Athena, something that's also on my list of things to see.
