Chapter Twenty
-The night of the cookout-
Thalia, Veronica, and Jughead were helping to set up the camp for the cookout. A lot of extra food was needed to feed everyone especially if they wanted seconds. Archie, Betty, Kevin, and the kids were also helping by cleaning up all extra pieces of armor that were on the fields, cleaning the craft houses, and just making everything look presentable. Kevin has been with the kids since he arrived at camp, because other than Noah all of the kids were descendants of the God Hermes.
"You excited for your guys first cookout?" Veronica asked both Jughead and Thalia
"Looks like a lot of fun, but is it true that the Gods come down to earth for the cookout?" Jughead asked as the girls were coming out of their cabin wearing dresses and the boys had button down shirts on with ties
"Only some of them do. Since today is the winter solstice that's the day Zeus made our camp. He declared it the one day that Gods could come down to earth to see their offspring, but only their offspring that were inside the walls of camp"
"So it's possible to see our father again?" Thalia asked
"Yes it's possible, but I can't speak to how likely" Veronica said looking around trying to find Noah. Thalia has asked her something else, but she wasn't paying attention. Jughead rapped his arm on her shoulder and she jumped back to reality.
"Go find him" Jughead said smiling as Veronica quickly kissed him and walked away
Noah and his friends were finishing up and they would soon be going to get ready for that night. Veronica waited until Noah went into his cabin. He didn't stay in the Athena cabin with Veronica; while instead he stayed in the Hermes cabin with his best friends.
After a few minutes of standing outside the Hermes cabin Veronica knocked on the door. She maneuvered her eyes to look around while she waited for someone to open the door. Finally, the boy Mike Wheeler opened the door. He had black thick curls in his hair and he dressed in casual clothes before putting on his nice clothes for the cookout.
"Hey Mike, is Noah around?" Veronica asked being as nice as she could to the thirteen year old
"He's in his room getting ready. First door on the right" he said as Veronica nodded her head with a small smile indicating thanks to Mike
When she walked towards his room she saw that his bedroom door was open. She stood in his doorway and saw that he was looking into his mirror attempting to tie his tie. She silently giggled to herself and then went into his room. Veronica placed her hands over her brother's shoulders and asked "Need any help with that?"
Noah just nodded and so Veronica tied his tie for him.
"Perfect" Veronica said finishing as she turned so that Noah was facing the mirror. "You have our mother's eyes" she smiled looking at her little brother
