Getting Ready

Everything But Normal

 

“Do we really have to separate?” Su asked as he walked with Micky and Steph to their shared cabin.

“Yup,” Steph replied.

“You don’t look like you’re unhappy with this,” Su accused her with a glare.

She sighed before answering him. “I am I just hide it better than you do.” He huffed indignantly at that.

“And here I thought you’d be happy to spend more time with Yuhno,” Micky teased.

Junsu gaped at him like he’d grown two heads. He tried to say something but all he managed was to look like a fish without water. The act made Steph and Micky crack up like no other.

“I hate you,” Su stomped off into the room.

“He seemed to mean it this time,” Steph gave Micky a raised eyebrow.

“Su is never serious,” Micky replied.

Not a moment later Su rushed out of the room and hugged them both telling them that what he had said wasn’t true.

“Um what’s taking you guys so long?” the three turned around to see Yuhno staring at them.

“Following us?” Su asked.

“Nope,” he replied. “Was told that you guys were taking too long so I was forced to come get you.”

“Can’t they hold their horses,” Steph muttered as she entered the room.

She left the door open so Su and Micky could come in too. Yuhno followed them and entered their cabin.

“So what exactly do we need to take with us?” Micky asked as he went to the dresser where he had his clothes.

“You know clothes, toothbrush…essential stuff like that,” Yuhno listed not really paying attention to Micky.

He was currently busy staring at Su’s which was in full view. Su had dropped something so he bent down to retrieve it. Lucky Yuhno he was a few feet away from the guy and could see everything very clearly.

Steph and Micky shared a look before they turned around to give the two boys some privacy. That and they were trying to hide the urge they had to crack up on the spot. It’s not every day one saw Hades son drooling over a dude. Being the sneaky person that she was Steph reached into her pocket and took out her phone so she could snatch a picture of Yuhno’s face. She couldn’t wait to show the boy how he looked when he began to date her brother, something that she was quite sure would happen.

“Took you guys long enough,” Min scoffed when they finally rejoined them.

“Well it’s not every day you travel to Olympus,” Steph shot back.

“Do we have to seprate you two,” Micky scolded them.

In the background Jae, Su and Yuhno were laughing at the interaction.

“Should we get going?” Jae asked them all.

“Hmm aren’t the counselors going to wonder where we’re at?” Steph asked the question that had been floating through her mind.

“No,” Min answered her. “They were already informed so we don’t have to worry about them.”

“You know what I don’t understand,” Su began. “Is how can these people get the items they want if they’re in Olympus, a place not easy to get to.”

Jae, Min and Yuhno couldn’t help but notice how all three of them cringed when Su said ‘these people’. It was obvious that the fact that Micky’s parents were involved with this was making them feel uneasy still and it didn’t help that Su and Steph weren’t sure whether their parents were involved or not.

“Well they managed to get the scroll which is kept on Mount Olympus so they must have a way to get in,” Jae stated.

“Let’s not forget that they managed to get that Minotaur in here,” Steph added.

“There’s that,” Min agreed.

“So where exactly are we going?” Micky asked trying to get more information.

“Well you and I are going to my father’s place,” Jae replied.

“Su and I will be going to the underworld,” Yuhno stated.

Su’s face got all pale after hearing that. Then he started shaking his head.

“There is no way that I’m going down there.”

“Don’t worry about it everything will be fine,” Yuhno tried to assure him.

“I am not going into the underworld with all those spirits and stuff,” he said.

“It’ll be fine Su. I bet there is a normal looking place down there,” Steph tried to calm him down but he wasn’t really listening.

“Steph’s right,” Micky agreed. “After all Persephone lives there. She’s bound to have a normal looking place down there.”

“It’s true,” Yuhno stated. “I grew up in the underworld whenever I wasn’t with Jae or Min. Persephone would never allow me to live in such a dark place so she made part of the underworld safe for me. We will be there the whole time so don’t worry. Besides it looks kind of like a normal home so there is nothing so be afraid of.”

“Fine but I refuse to have my eyes open on the boat,” Su huffed.

Yuhno chuckled. “I’ll make sure you get there safe without having to open your eyes.”

“Now that that’s settled lets go,” Min began to walk away.

The six of them walked to the clearing where Su, Micky and Steph had talked to their ‘parents’ not that long ago.

“Why are we here?” Steph asked the question the three of them had been thinking about.

“This is one of the openings to Olympus,” Jae replied.

“That makes sense,” Micky nodded. “So this was probably the reason why they wanted us to contact them here.”

“Who?” Yuhno asked.

“Our so called parents,” Steph replied.

“Oh,” the three of them said.

“They probably wanted to show you Olympus when you accepted them as your parents,” Min concluded.

“Which brings me to wonder why you haven’t accepted them after what happened,” Yuhno wondered.

“Just because we know they are our parents doesn’t mean we are ready to accept it yet,” Su replied with a sullen expression.

“Ok enough of this dreary talk let’s just leave,” Steph suggested.

Yuhno, Jae and Min reached for their necks and took off their necklace. Then the three of them placed them above the water and invoked some words. When they were done the water began to glow and sparkle the same way it had with Poseidon. Steph, Su and Micky stared at the water mesmerized by its beauty and the way the water seemed to change colors.

“It’s beautiful,” Steph whispered while Su and Micky nodded their heads.

“Ok each of us have to hold hands with one of you since this is the first time you’ll be going through this,” Min explained as he put his necklace back on followed suit by Jae and Yuhno.

Steph, Su and Micky looked at each other and nodded their heads. Micky took hold of Jae’s hand while Su took Yuhno’s and Steph held onto Min’s. If anyone had been looking at them they would have seen six figures jumping into the water and never coming out of it. But to them the feeling was different because they never even touched the water. The portal or whatever it was called didn’t last forever, it didn’t even seem like they were in it for long before they were standing in front of stairs.

“Wow,” Su, Steph and Micky exclaimed looking ahead.

Whenever Olympus was portrayed they showed how beautiful it was and it was no lie. Except that people were way off when they tried to portray its beauty, there was no way that someone who had not been here could capture the beauty of this place. Looking around it seemed like Olympus was one big island, it wasn’t just the tower or castle that people saw when they watched the animated movie Hercules or pictures that were shown. This place looked magical and very hard to describe.

Right now the six of them were standing before the steps to the gate that would allow them to enter the place where Zeus lived. Behind them however were houses that didn’t resemble any from the homes on earth. These homes were different and seemed to defy gravity sometimes, it was really weird but it explained how many gods could live here.

“Amazed?” Yuhno smiled at their obvious entranced faces.

“This place looks so much better than I imagined,” Steph replied looking back and forth.

“What did you expect?” Min asked staring at her glowing face. It was obvious that Steph, Su and Micky hadn’t noticed that they were radiating right now, something that happened while they were here.

“Oh you know something from the animated Hercules movie, figured it be kind of cramped here,” she answered in a teasing tone.

Su looked at his sister then and his eyes opened wide. She was glowing so brightly that he felt stupid for not noticing sooner. Steph was outlined in a soft gold glow that engulfed her whole body, she looked awesome. He then turned to look at Micky and realized that he had that glow too; looking around him he noticed that the other three also had the glow just not as strong as theirs. Looking down at his hands he saw that he was also glowing which made him wonder how he looked to the others.

“Um is there a reason why we’re glowing so intensely?” Steph asked looking at Jae. She’d taken one look at Min and had to turn away. This glow wasn’t working to her advantage it made looking at Min worse since it made his tanned skin shine even more and she couldn’t help but wonder if the rest of him glowed too.

“This is how we look for real,” Jae answered. “Being in our home lets out our true nature, you can see the power emanating from our glow.”

“Why are Su, Steph and me glowing brighter than you guys?” Micky asked looking at Yuhno. He didn’t want to admit it but looking at Jae right now wasn’t a very good idea.

“This is the first time the three of you step foot here so your glow is more defined,” Yuhno informed him. “The more time you spend here the glow will fade and look like ours. But you can also learn to turn if off which helps when in a fight.”

“How?” Su asked looking at Min.

“Well when you feel like fighting in the dark it isn’t wise if your opponent can see you,” he explained. “Besides the glow gets old sometimes and it makes it hard to talk to people sometimes.”

“I see,” Su said. “Should we get a move on?”

“Yeah follow us,” Jae said as he began to walk up the stairs.

 When they reached up there the door opened for them. The inside of Zeus’s home was just as beautiful as the outside. Everything seemed to be made of gold and marble which was so amazing and cool because there were things that reflected the light showing so many different shades of colors.

“Through these doors we’ll enter where my father keeps the lightning bolt and I’m sure Poseidon’s trident had been brought here too,” Jae informed them.

“Well lets go,” Min began to push Steph away.

“Hey where are you going?” Micky asked.

“We’ll be going to Athena’s since her shield is there as well as my father’s weapon,” Min answered still pushing Steph who had trying to resist the push.

“I can walk on my own,” she dodged his next push and walked a few feet away from him. “Bye Micky, Su. Behave while I’m away.”

“Don’t let people push you around!” Su shouted at her receding back. She turned around and smiled at him as she walked backwards, then she turned back around so she wouldn’t trip or fall.

“It’s time for us to go,” Yuhno told Su.

“Bye Micky,” Su hugged him before joining Yuhno.

“Late,” Micky said before he turned to Jae who was opening the door.


Ok this is the chapter. Nothing really happened in this chapter though. Hmm sorry for the long wait but I have been busy and haven’t had time to write. Also some of what I had written got deleted when the power went off at my house for no apparent reason; it was only gone for like less than a minute. Anyway I hope you enjoy and as a heads up the next update might take some time too, since I don’t think I’ll be home for a couple days. ^O^ BTW i didn't check for errors cuz i wanted to post this now so i hope there weren't too many.
