Snowfall

Frozen Yogurt

Thalia groaned as she dragged herself into the dorm room, collapsing onto her side next to Percy. He had been laying with his back propped up against the pillows, glaring angrily at the textbook sitting on his legs. The two had recently gotten into a college and were still only on their second week, but both were already stressed way out of their minds.

Somehow, the gods (a god, I'm sure we can guess which one) had managed to get them a shared dorm. Percy could've sworn that was against almost all college policies, but whatever. Better than sharing a dorm with some stranger he'd never met and would ask about every little scar or weapon or picture of bloodied but happy demigods. And they sure as hell would want to know why most of the money was an ancient form of currency.

"Rough day?" Percy asked, not taking his eyes off of the words that were swirling off the page.

"My gods, yes," Thalia muttered, shoving her face into the pillows of his bed. "Worse than you think."

"We've got some ice cream in the fridge," Percy offered. "Pop in a movie with it and I'm sure you'll feel at least a bit better."

"Ice cream sounds wonderful," Thalia moaned. She felt Percy get up off the bed, dropping the textbook onto his desk. He fumbled around in the mini fridge for a second and then shoved her to the side. She rolled over to the opposite side of the bed, sitting up and happily accepting a mini tub of cookies and cream ice cream. Percy handed her a spoon and popped the lid off of his cotton candy ice cream.

"What'cha want to watch?" Percy spoke with his mouth full of ice cream.

"Something that doesn't remind me of school or the gods," Thalia responded.

"Well, there's horror, documentaries, kids movies, and that's all I can think of," Percy said. "And you know how much I hate horror."

"I do," Thalia mumbled. "I guess just find a kids movie." Percy dragged the demigod-proof laptop from his bedside table, popping it open and opening Netflix. Thalia shifted closer to him, setting her head on his shoulder to watch him scroll through movies and TV shows.

"Can we watch Hercules?" Percy asked hopefully. "I want to criticise it."

"That would be fun," Thalia remarked. "Go for it."

The biggest thing for Thalia was how inaccurate the Olympian relationships were. Zeus and Hera did not have a healthy relationship, Hades wasn't that vengeful, no Olympian was blue, and Percy was incredibly offended when Poseidon got literally no screen time.

"We should show this to Heracles," Thalia yawned. "He would love it."

"He would hate us for eternity," Percy answered.

"As if he doesn't already. Besides, what's the harm in pissing the bastard off a bit more?" Thalia tempted.

Percy sighed. "Fine. Friday, we snag Artemis and hope she agrees."

"Oh, she'll agree, don't you worry."
