[indent]May sure was glad that whole stupid Spartan Race or whatever was done! She’d spent all morning at the Arena, only to find everybody had gone to their dorms… It sure made her feel silly! Then they had tried to stick under some flaming hot-hot-hot barbed wire and crawl in the icky, icky mud! Nope! May wasn’t about that life, not one bit! So she sat down and ate three brownies… No, wait, it was five! She was ecstatic when that Titan guy (Oedipus?) had run up and taken her place, so much so that she had to jump up and sing I’ll Make a Man Out of You to cheer him on. Ra-Ra Fighting Power! Mr. Titan man didn’t really like that though. He was like.. Three-fourths of the way done when he jumped up, all bloody and ewwww,  and started yelling at her about singing the best song from Mulan. Can you believe they disqualified him for that?! It was sad because he was shouting and screaming about it afterwards. [i]‘I think he needs friends.’[/i]

Now May was with her super-best friend that she had just met today! They were practically inseparable and the blonde mute was really photogenic. As they strode from Felicity’s dorm, May had her camera out and took pictures of her new friend, the flash going off like a strobe light. Lissie was so super cute with her brand new Mickey Mouse cap on, the one that May had just given her like five seconds ago! And the blonde seemed to love it so much!

[color=f6989d]”Wow, Missy Lissie, you are so very pretty! Like one of those Czar Princesses that died! I am proud to call myself the Minnie Mouse to your Mickey Mouse!”[/color] The eccentric daughter of Demeter excitedly stowed away her camera and then grabbed the other girl’s pale hand. In sort of a forced action, May, wearing a Minnie Mouse cap, was skipping down the hall toward the banquet and dragging her friend with her. [color=f6989d]”I am going to eat 30 cookies tonight. I hope I don’t get ultra sick like last time. That was terrible! I didn’t know a toilet could get stopped with so much vomit!”[/color]

[url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/8a/0e/bf/8a0ebfd98ae720e4a1534d24c83f49fb.jpg]Isaac[/url], or Ike for short, hovered over the girls as the exuberant Asian was non-stop with her flash photography. You’d think by now Felicity and her familiar were use to it, but no. Ike made sure to stay away from the direction of the light attack, while Lissie kept squinting her eyes after she assumed May had taken a picture. The race was brutal. It was her first year and she was the [b]first[/b] one to go for her team: no pressure at all. She was up against a beautiful brunette that went by the name: Mariana. They announced her as the Daughter of Apollo and she was extremely sweet when they stood next to each other. Her competitor even wished her good luck! (urgh, Lisse would need it).

If only the race was a simple run. Oh no, the teachers added something absolutely dreadful. Not only was she timed (which keep in mind she rarely runs!) but they put a belt on her that gave these nasty shocks. It’s been almost two years since she went through pain that bad. The being said, the shocks weren’t the problem. It was the run itself. Her legs felt like they would give out. Lissie just wanted to die! She would have surely passed out if Mariana didn’t get to the finish line. Little tears had welled up in her blue eyes, as she ran to Dante, her roommate, who was on the opposite team, in need of comfort. He kept quiet but gave her a warm, consoling hug. Sure, she just met her roommate today but she felt like she could trust him. If he wasn’t a kind man, he wouldn’t have allowed her to run into his embrace! Plus, he smelt nice. 

During the rest of the race, she somehow made friends with a bubbly girl, who ate a lot and sang weird, catchy tunes throughout the competition. One of her tunes made this brute of a man, who ended up doing May’s challenge, angrily jolt up… letting the barbed wire and fire… ouchie. It wasn’t a pretty sight. Yet, his rage kept him standing. He was so bloody...  

Lissie would have gone to the banquet with Dante, but he seemed like he was upset at her, or he simply wanted some alone time. Either way, May did ask her new best friend, Lissie assumed that was her, to escort her to the ball - so the tiny blonde accepted. Now here they were walking to the banquet where Lissie hoped to see Dante at. She would feel more confident if he was there, even if he stood afar. Being new was nerve wracking. 

Her pale face had no makeup on and her blonde locks were wildly graceful. Lissie wasn’t like many girls who put crazy amount of attention into her looks (all she did was comb her knots out). She was able to find a red dress her third ex-mother gave her when she was ‘dressing’ her daughter up like a doll. It was at the very bottom of her trunk in her humble abode, the abandoned warehouse. She still had her white bow shoes too! The trunk was something she had found on the streets a year ago, which although she struggled getting it to the warehouse, when it did arrive it made a home for her personal wardrobe (rather than stuffed in a suitcase she stole from her third ex-dad). Lissie didn’t have many clothes, but she had enough to last awhile, or at least while she was still small. 

Lifting her hands, Felicity adjusted her mouse cap. She had seen the icon of a mouse before and knew it was a worldwide image for a film company, but she had never seen a Disney movie in her life. The young girl was confused as to why they were being mices for the banquet, but she assumed it was a party hat - right? When May finished taking pictures, Lissie gave a quiet sigh of relief and allowed Ike to rest on her wrist. He then began to express his master’s thoughts to her newly acquainted friend telepathically, or at least his short and straight to the point way of saying things, “[color=933d41]Charming, Miss Bentley. I’m sure history will repeat itself.[/color]” He had a flat voice with a hint (well, it wasn’t that subtle) of sarcasm, scrutiny, and austerity. The raven came across as highly intelligent, resourceful, loyal, and kind of like a butler. A butler who found humor in being an ass to everyone but his Master (it took awhile to gain his trust). Lissie scolded her familiar mentally. [i][color=coral]Be nice.[/color] [color=933d41]This is my nice, Felicity[/color] [color=coral]Compliment her. Say she looks cute![/color] [color=933d41]I’d rather not[/color] [color=coral]Ike![/color] [color=933d41]Very well, Madam.[/color][/i] 

“[color=933d41]You’re lucky you’re pretty as well.[/color]” [color=coral][i]Everything you say comes out so mean![/i][/color] “[color=933d41]Oh. And my darling Felicity has never watched a Disney movie in her entire life, but she’s flattered to be the mascot of a multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate for the night. Truly, she is.[/color]” By this point, she was praying to the gods to save her from her familiar’s tyranny. Hopefully May did not take any of his words personal! Lissie stared at the girl extremely apologetic. Isaac, on the other hand, was enjoying this interaction thoroughly. 

May blinked in confusion as Lissie’s pet spoke words that went right through one ear and out the other. It was all too eloquent for her simple yet sporadic mind. Instead, she just laughed obnoxiously. Boy, was that silly! She'd never seen a Disney movie?! What a joke! [color=f6989d]“Your thing is funny! It talks like it's a person, and that's just silly-billies!”[/color] Jabbing the cutie-patootie playfully, their joyous adventure took them into the illustrious banquet hall. 

[i][color=933d41]It’s official. She’ll make you go down a grade level.[/color] [color=coral]Oh hush, stop being so silly-billies~[/color] [color=933d41]Don’t start that now.[/color][/i]

With a chuckle, May remembered her time here in the year prior. Though her humorous expression was quite bizarre, considering it had been absolutely awful! 

[color=f6989d]“Last year, I sat in that corner over there and cried lots! Nobody had wanted to be my friend and I lost that icky competition!”[/color] She shook her head vigorously at the thought and continued her rapid-paced banter. [color=f6989d]“It was bad because they had this thing that did this thing for the challenge and I peed my pants! Everybody made fun of me for it. But I ate all the cookies ever, so that was good. Yep yep!”[/color] May was surprisingly chipper about her not-so-glamorous first impressions, albeit not at all descriptive about what had caused her accident. Throwing an arm around her best friend, she guided them to one of the first tables near the doors in a wild, frenetic dance. The music excited the young woman and pumped her spirits up so much!

From on top of the Bulgarian girl’s thin arm, Ike glanced over at the overly joyed May, along with Lissie. They both couldn’t understand why a girl would be cheering a story like that. Pity filled the blonde. She needed to become close with this girl so she had some sort of happiness in her life besides cookies. The ebony raven turned his head with a sigh. Looking forward, he released a mutter into his companion's head. [i][color=933d41]That isn’t your responsibility.[/color][/i] As much as the bird wanted to sympathize with the stranger, he couldn’t. He looked at everyone with a skeptical gaze. It was his responsibility to watch over Lissie. He may not be able to protect her from physical pain, yet, but he could prevent her heart from getting involved with bad apples. He didn’t need her other half to awaken. 

[color=f6989d]”I hope nothing bad happens to you tonight like it did with me, Missie Lissie!”[/color] Comfortingly, the peculiar daughter of Demeter put a hand on the back of the blonde’s while her other hand snatched a brownie from one of the plates in front of her. Snacking on the delicious, mouth watering treat, her brown orbs scanned the crowd, noting all the beautiful boys and girls. [color=f6989d]”“Oh, I have an idea! Let's play Bang, Date, or Pass! I point at someone and you tell me which to pick!”[/color] she exclaimed, hoping to break the ice with a sort of risque game. Go hard or go home, right?! Closing her eyelids, she randomly chose… Dante! She didn't know a lot about him, but he was an attractive man. [color=f6989d]“Hmmm… I would bang him! ...No, wait! Date! I mean I'd date him and then bang him!"[/color] May was talking louder than most people should and it was very obvious she was pointing at the boy. Oblivious, she didn't seem to register her circumstances.

An unsettling feeling crawled into Lissie as her hands balled into a fist. She didn’t understand this feeling growing into her skin, filling her blood. Her eyes darkened, but for now, she was still the same girl. For now. Lissie stood still as Ike flew off her wrist and went onto her right shoulder. “[color=933d41]Miss Bentley, why don’t we explore the party? Meet other colleagues to talk about… Disney.[/color]” This time a rather forceful Felicity grabbed onto her friend’s arm, becoming the one in control and leading her to someone. They went straight to another handsome boy that could keep May’s mind off of Dante. Her raven looked at the male, who held a glass of Merlot, and tastefully greeted, “[color=933d41]Good evening, sir. I would like to formally introduce you to Felicity Underwood, the Daughter of Hecate, and May Bentley, the Daughter of Demeter. You can call me, Isaac, I will be Felicity’s voice for the night due to her inability to speak.[/color]” Lissie let her eyes trail down the banquet table and looked at her roommate, who was beside a cute girl. [i][color=coral]He's a lady charmer...[/color][/i]

[color=f6989d]”Him?”[/color] May glared at the beautiful man for a moment then back to the blonde, her head cocked in a questioning manner. [color=f6989d]“I'd date and bang him too!”[/color] she cried, as if he weren't right in front of her. Oopsie daisies! If there were two things May lacked, they'd be sense and tact. Upon realizing what she'd said, the dark haired girl clapped both hands over her mouth, silently hoping Lissie and her bird could get her out of this scenario.

[i][color=coral]I don’t want to be here right now… sorry Ike.[/color][/i] Lissie turned, her blonde locks moving with the swiftness of her spin. She started trailing into the crowd away from her new friend. She didn’t like how she was feeling right now. [color=933d41][i]One moment.[/i][/color]

In the air now, Isaac telepathically apologized, “[color=933d41]Excuse us. My apologies for Felicity’s impoliteness, she has been… under the weather.[/color]” Bringing his attention to May, he verbally ushered, “[color=933d41]You two should get acquainted. Perhaps dance? Oh! Look at that. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqb9HFoS-ZE]Ballroom music[/url].[/color]” Hurriedly, he pivoted around but saw that Felicity had disappeared. [color=933d41][i]Phenomenal.[/i][/color] He calmly, but with internal anxiety, entered the crowd himself. 

[I]Wee woo, wee woo, wee woo![/I] An alarm was blaring in May’s head as Lissie abandoned her and forced her to deal with her own problems. This was very, very bad! [color=f6989d]”Um… I've gotta go pee!”[/color] she shouted her excuse aloud before running away from the man, her legs trembling and face reddened in embarrassment. Why did these things always happen to her!?
