SUMMER BREAK (Age 12) As soon as the bell rang your classmates dropped their pens and started gathering their stuff together. It was a hot day outside so you could understand why they'd want to leave school as soon as possible. Shouting and laughing the other kids raced out the door, leaving you to pack up your things slowly and survey the mess around you. Scraps of paper, still opened glue sticks, a few lone crayons on some tables. You "tsk'd" and shook your head. Dropping your bag on your tidy desk again you started picking up the left over stuff from the project. Your teacher had been nice enough to dedicate the last lesson before su

(A/N: Oh my gods! You're all so supportive and amazing. I really do love you all and I tremendously appreciate your unwavering praise. ~SHanami1 (https://www.deviantart.com/shanami1) , :iconpiperspage: , :iconThornpelt125: , :iconCheRRyBoomBlackout: , :iconKitkat72600: , :iconPanganort: , :iconcauded: and :iconIICRAZYMOFOII: thank you for everything! You're too kind. So, so, so sorry if I missed anyone out! And also thank you :iconJKSDXDSSMfan: for telling me the Roman myth 'Cupid and Pysche'. The myth really sparked the idea for this! Sorry for taking forever to finish this. It isn't even long! =( Seriously . . . I am happy this is going to be done by  Chapter 10. SO. DANG.

(A/N: So! Thank you very much !SMstargazer (https://www.deviantart.com/smstargazer) , you are awesome and you helped me push through my mild writer's block! I apologize immensely if the gods' dialogue and actions are OC or really . . . 'un' godly, if you know what I mean. If it is offensive in anyway, I really am truly sorry! BTW, this is kind of based just after 'The Last Olympian'. =/ :shrug: Oh my gods, no one guessed the tune? It was the outro in Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters sung by that high-pitched, melodic voice when the credits play! STRONG LANGUAGE ALERT! Neh. Just read.) ______________________________________________________________________________________________

The rolling of wheels and the clack of a skateboard echoed through the halls of the dilapidated, abandoned Victorian mansion. Silence blanketed the manor, from the dying shrubs to the parlor. The only bird's song was the caw of crows on the tall iron fence lining the deteriorating estate. You felt Kid shake off the feeling, again skimming his foot on the marble floors to propel himself further on Beelzebub. Everyone seemed to have changed their outlook on you since word went around about the unlocking of Kid's lines. You felt they were overreacting – shinigami were known to have their power increase when they resonated with many human

 You woke up to light streaming through your window. Your eyelids fluttered open, and you heard the delicate sizzle of breakfast being made. Through the door, you could hear Alec's muffled humming. You again felt Kid's kiss on your forehead, and you couldn't help but have a smile curl on your lips. You yawned and gave a pitiful look to your now-crumpled dress. Silently, you scuffled out of your bedroom, muttering about how your feet hurt from those darned heels yesterday. In the kitchen, Alec's back was facing you. As always, he was working aggressively at the pan as he whipped up some bacon and eggs. He didn't turn his back to address you

You were surprised to have been let in by a maid at the door. She had soft, mousy brown hair pulled into a bun and tired eyes. "G'd evening, Miss, we've been expecting you. Please excuse me, it's absolute chaos around here tonight." You smiled. "That's fine, I'll find my way around. Thank you." It was only when the maid had fled the large foyer that you realized it'd be impossible to find Kid, Liz, and Patty in the mansion. Gallows Manor was enormous. You whipped out your cell phone and searched desperately through your contacts for one of the three's phone numbers. You found Patty's number first, which you called. "HOWDY SI' HOW YA DO

It was the night of your date. Alec had, quite proudly, announced that since you'd be gone, and he would have "nothing to do but watch reruns of House" he'd seen a million times before, he was going on a date with Kim. "Much to Ox' dismay." He laughed. You nodded and congratulated him. "I'm going to get ready. Kid called yesterday and said to wear something formal." Alec raised his eyebrows, flipping the remote in his hands. "Oh, fancy." He said amusedly. You simply gave him a shove. You went to your bedroom and rummaged through your newly-organized closet, searching desperately for a gorgeous, formal dress to wear. You found the perfect

You'd traveled the world. Tokyo, Bali, India, Brazil. You'd seen it all. You saw things that could make millions of people happy, the beauties of all the exotic foreign countries laid before you like postcards. You had never experienced happiness like this ever before. Alec thought the same way. You and him talked into the night about staying in Death City as your permanent home. You made your choice about a week before Kid's party. You and Alec would stay in Death City. Now here you were, surrounded by the people that made you experience this happiness. Maka was scolding Soul, who was sneering in reply. Tsubaki was holding her hands

It'd been three weeks since you and Alec arrived at Death City and began attending the DWMA. You have been doing well and your new set of friends like you quite a lot. You've been taking extra careful measures, though, to stay in better graces with Kid. Speaking of the reaper, there is a party tonight being hosted by him. "I haven't had a party in quite some time, now so I thought hosting one now would suffice." Kid had told you days before. You stood at the side of your bed, staring at the outfit you'd picked out to wear. It was a slightly casual party but the people attending dressed quite nicely. You chose something stunning. Your

"How interesting! So you've been traveling the world since you were little?" Maka, your newest friend, said. Her partner, Soul, his hands in his pockets and slumped over, nodded. "Yeah, that's cool." "So where are some places you've lived in?" Tsubaki asked you, her soft voice gaining a slight pitch as she asked you this pleasantly. You're always happy to say where you've been in your life. After all, traveling the world is an incredibly interesting thing. "Let's see. My last stop was in Singapore before I got on a ship and sailed across the Pacific to be driven here to Nevada. The place before that was…" You couldn't remember. Someth
