Heroes of Olympus: The Mark of New York

STACY

Chapter 22

Stacy

Before I left Nico’s room I turned around and smiled at him. He had already fallen back asleep. Did I forget to mention it’s like 3pm; everyone else is doing something productive not sleeping. I flicked my hair around and walked out of his room.  

~~~~Ω~~~~

I head down into the training room to beat the crap out of a dummy. Why? I have no idea. I take out a small dagger from the weapon self. I usually fight with two, which Chiron said was different but who cares. Leo fights monsters with breath mints. I walk over to the nearest dummy and begin to kick, punch and manoeuvre myself around it jabbing it in weak spots. I kick the dummy down and stab it in the chest.

I breathe heavily and sit down on the floor. Did I forget to mention that the dummies are automatic, they respond to your moves and work in defence and offense, both making it harder for you as well as creating a real feel to the simulation. Of course it is amazing and gives you a massive work out, duh, I built it for my brother.

“Hello.” I heard someone call from the door. I turn to face them.

“Um, hi, who are you?” I ask politely.

“The names Keaton, Alex Keaton.” She laughed but I didn’t get the joke. Then I remembered mortals couldn’t come down here unless they were let in by one of us. Alex… I racked my brain to figure out who she belonged to.

“Howdy.” Leo said strutting into the room.

“Howdy cowboy.” Alex said pecking him on the lips, Leo blushed but when he saw me laughed.

“Sorry Stacy, we scaring you?” He teased before walking out of the room.  As Leo left Alex sat down next to one of the dummies.

“Did you really make these; Leo tells me they move according to your moves. That’s amazing, do you think you could teach me sometime?” I nodded.

“Your pretty cool for a mort- girl, I thought most girls were prissy princesses.” I say standing up and stretching my arms.

“A what?” Alex asks.

“A normal girl.” I say.

“Normal, me normal. Bitch I’m the opposite of normal.” She says a bit too loudly.

“Okay, well I guess that’s something we got in common, it’s something everyone here, in this house has in common.” I say walking over to Alex.

“Well I guess you are right, Leo is definitely not normal.” We both laugh.  She so gets me.

“Do you wanna see how they work?” I ask propping the dead dummy on a rack. Alex nodded. I helped her get up then found a dummy suitable for her height. I turned it on and it whirred to life. Its eyes flicked on and it scanned the room. I pushed Alex in front of the eyes.

“Um, what?” She asked poking it. The dummy didn’t like that and grabbed her hand, flipping her on her back. “Oh no you didn’t.” She spat at the dummy. She jumped onto her feet and punched the dummy in the chest. Thens he continued kicking, punching and dodging the dummy.

~~~~Ω~~~~

Alex and I sat down on the sofa eating a bowl of Cheetos and drinking lemonade. Leo was sitting next to Alex with an arm around her; I took a guess and decided that yeah they were together. Wow the seventh wheel finally has a girlfriend.

Travis, Katie and Connor were out with Piper and Jason. They were all at the movies. I think Connor was bringing someone with him, I’m not too sure. Percy and Annabeth’s whereabouts were unknown and Nico, well Nico just came down the stairs. I smiled at him and he gave me his signature smirk. He was back in his black t-shirt, jacket and black jeans. He came and sat next to me.

“What are you guys watching?” He asked. His voice was all husky and he made that sentence super sexy. Gah what is wrong with you Stacy, get a grip. Gods.

~~~~Ω~~~~

Me: Short chappie. Soz. Anyway… Leo the disclaimer…

Leo: Rick Riordan is my owner, I am his dog, he trained me to walk, talk and use the toilet. Thanks to Uncle Ricky I am able to tell you this all and in fact thanks to Rick I am able to be alove so thank you Ricky.

Annabeth: I think she wanted the proper disclaimer.

Leo: But that is the proper disclaimer.

Piper: Leo no it is not

Alex: Leo just tell the real disclaimer, and afterwards you are telling me who Rick Riordan is.

*Alex leaves room*

Me: So, Leo you are never doing the disclaimer again, Percy, if you may.

Percy: Jason, give me a beat.

Jason: Sure *starts beat boxing*

Percy: Yo, uncle Ricky, he’s our home dawg. He owns all of us HoO people or PJO people WHICHEVER you prefer. He’s the boss, the big daddy. He’s more powerful than Maccy D’s; he’s just like the American J.K Rowling. Yo, yo, yo Ricky Bro My home dawg.

Annabeth; Shut up Percy

Me: Rick Riordan own the PJO and HoO people I own only Alex and the school people.

Stacy: GOOD BYE EVERYONE

Nico: Cya

Okay everyone that weird joke that Alex said about Alex Keaton…. Let me just clear that up for you all.

Okay so Alex’s full name is Alexandra Oaks but her mothers maiden name is Keaton. And in this 1980’s TV show called Family Ties Michael J Fox stars as Alex Keaton, that’s where I got Alex’s name from. Anywhoo, When I said Keaton Alex Keaton, I was like “OMG’s that was the worst joke thing ever.” Anyway, I hope you now know why Alex laughed a little even though the joke was stupid, I guess that’s why she laughed IDK. ANYWAY TOODLES MY FELLOW POODLES!!!
