"Kids! We have some news to tell you!" Yelled Juliet as she stood next to the stairs. Everyone came down a few moments later, still in their pajamas, tired out of their minds.

Everyone sat down on the living room couch and waited.

"Come on, show some spirit!" Juliet said.

"Mom, you woke us up at six am... we're not functional at this time..." Roman muttered and yawned. He leaned on Virgil.

"Come on. Kids are supposed to be fully awake at this time!" Juliet crossed her arms.

"According to what scientific theory?" Remus questioned, rubbing his eyes. "Just tell us what this news is."

"Oh, right. We're throwing a party in two months!" Juliet announced.

Everyone was silent.

"You're telling us this now?" Roman asked. "We could be sleeping."

"Pass out invites to all of your friends." Juliet smiled.

"Okay...?" Roman muttered.

Remus gasped. "Can I invite that hot guy to the party!?"

"Whoever you want, sweetie," Juliet said.

"Yes! Hot guy, here I come! In two months." Remus got his phone out.

"The party is in August... what day of August, mom?" Roman asked.

"The fifteenth," Juliet said.

"I don't know when Deirdre gets out of the hospital..." Virgil muttered.

"She'll get out before the fifteenth of August, don't worry, Virgil," Roman said.

Virgil smiled a bit. "Yeah. I just know she will."

Virgil walked around the mansion. He turned the corner and ran into someone. He stepped back and saw Circe.

"I'm sorry, are you ok-" Virgil got cut off by a glare from Circe.

"Watch where you're going." She snapped and walked away.

Virgil turned to where she had walked away, his eyes wide.

'She was mean, then nice, now she's mean again... what is up with her?' Virgil thought.

"Hello, Virgil." A voice said. Virgil turned and saw Juliet.

"Oh, hello, Miss," Virgil said.

"Stop with the formalities, just call me Juliet." She smiled.

"Alright. Do you know why Circe can be mean, then nice?" Virgil asked.

"Oh, she has a split personality disorder," Juliet said.

"Wait, she does?" Virgil questioned.

Juliet nodded. "Yep. She can be mean and nice at the same time."

"Thanks for telling me," Virgil said.

"You're welcome." Juliet smiled.

Virgil walked away. 'A split personality disorder? So, her mean side doesn't like the LGBT community then... while her nice side does.'
