Billy leans in to touch a glowing orb type thingy, and Teddy quickly stops him. he takes him by the wrist and removes his hand from the ... well whatever it is.
Teddy shakes his head.
"Probably not a good idea to be touching the gods' nick knacks babe."

"This is unacceptable!"
Achilles bellowed as he took a step forward. He looked straight at Hades and his blue eyes flashed in rage.
"You are NOT the King of Olympus! You are not worthy of that title!"
He swept his arm outward toward the gods around them.
"There are many here who are more fitting, and certainly more honorable! And you have no say in who my sister is to wed!"

Teddy encircled Billy in his arms, keeping him close. This was kind of a weird place, and he wasn't quite sure what was going on. He began to wonder who he'd wind up in an arranged marriage with if that sort of thing ever happened to him.
Probably not Billy. He was Jewish, so they'd try to find him a nice Jewish boy to marry, leaving Teddy out of luck.

Music Man
A novelette between one boy and another boy's instrument.
by Wallace P. Wells
There was Hartley's pipe, naked on his bed. It was longer than he'd imagined, and he wondered if he would be able to play it skillfully enough. He wasn't expecting to put on a show, just a private little moment shared only between the two of them.
He ran his finger down the length of it, feeling the hardness of the surface, rolling his thumb over where he would put his mouth. He wondered how Hartley would feel about this. Possibly pleased. Oh how he hoped he was pleased.
Wallace took Hartley's pipe in his hands, holding it carefully, reverently. His fingers moved skillfully down the sides, and he brought it to his lips, blowing gently. The sound that came out was soft, a crescendo that swelled through the room and reverberated through his own body. As he played, he felt Hartley's pipe vibrate with his breathing, move in his hands as if it were an animal.
His head bobbed slightly as he continued, his notes not exactly perfect, but right now it didn't matter when it was only him and Hartley's instrument.
When he had finished, he cleaned the end with a swipe of his thumb and looked about the room, satisfied. A job well done Wallace.
He wrapped the pipe back up and hid it, then went into the bathroom to shower. Yet no matter how hard he scrubbed, the feeling of that moment of pleasure would never go away.

Hades stared at Achilles.
" You fool ! You have no say in this matter!"
As for Cassie she walked off towards a set of building followed by Eros. Hades spoke loudly.
" Yes dear niece you should get ready! Our guests will be here soon!"
With that Hades ignored Achilles but Achilles felt a tap on his shoulder.. It was Hercules.
" Do not bother talking to him. You waste your breath. If we are to help our dear baby sister then we MUST find our father."

*Chris nodded at Hercules.*
I don't know if I should stay here with Cassie or help find Zeus.

Hercules looked at Chris and smiled.
" Our sister needs you here most. Besides whatever is going on it's enough to make even the gods themselves go mad. I could not bring a mere mortal with us. For your own sake. If something were to happen to you... it would destroy or little sister."
Meanwhile ... Cassie was inside one of the bedrooms on Olympus she fell to her knees crying.. Eros was next trying his best to consol her in her time of need.

"Maybe someone should....RELEASE THE KRAKEN!" Teddy yelled, thrusting a hand upward with a finger pointed.
Awkward silence.
"No? No? Ok guys. No biggie. Just a suggestion." He dropped his arm to wrap it around Billy again.

Achilles looked at Hercules and frowned.
"And how do you propose we do that? You know as well as I that to locate godhood, it would take a mage of extraordinary power to...find...them."
Achilles turned and looked at Billy, mumbling,
"And Olympus magnifies power a hundredfold..."

I can do that.
*Chris eyes the gods. He looked directly at Aphrodite and arched an eyebrow and mouthed the word, "Help?" Maybe she could get him to Cassie or give him some advice. Couldn't he challenge Donnie to combat or something? Mr. Rogers said he had come a long way...*

After detention, Len Snart caught up with Julian Keller and Joanne Cargill.
"Buzz off, Len. Whenever we hang out with you, we get in trouble."
"Go to hell, Julian. I was wondering if you wanted to go over our strategy for the Friday match against Toonami Tech tomorrow night."
"What is tomorrow....Thursday? I thought doing things with you on Thursday was verboten because you had to babysit Lisa."
"Don't be a b***h, Joanne, just because you're not part of her inner circle."
"What, did she dump you to hang out with Hart-Fart Rathaway, Lennie? Is that what happened?"
"She's just pissed at me for roughing up Powell. No big deal. She's not hanging out with Rathaway, he's got a date that night."
"Well, what a coincidence, Julian and I have a date that night, too."
Julian looked at Joanne quizzically.
"I thought you told me 'not if I was the last man on Eart-"'
Joanne elbowed him in the stomach.
"So, sorry Lennie, guess you'll have to entertain yourself tomorrow night."
Len grunted.
"Whatever."
After he left, Joanne pulled Julian aside.
"You hear that? Tomorrow night's our chance to get some revenge on that pukehead for that whammy he put on us by the lake!"
"What, by crashing his date?"
"Oh, I'm thinking about crashing more than his date..."

Aphrodite smiled at Chris and snapped her fingers and he was in the room Cassie and Eros was in. This particular wing of Olympus was where Aphrodite and gods associated with her lived. The room was white and gold, decorated in an elegant manner Cassie was there her face buryed in the bed. She couldn't tell Chris was in the room.
" Eros what can I do..?"
" You could always marry him and have escades on the side.."
Cassie cried even louder.. and Eros patted her on the back sympathetically.

Billy turns to Teddy and frowns with his arms out.
"So...what? We get brought to Olympus to try and help and then we get left hanging here with the gods while Chris hangs with Cassie? Aren't we supposed to be like helping?"
Billy notices Hercules and Achilles watching him and he starts to fidget.
"What? I got a boog?"
He rubs at his nose.
