“A sleepover party?” I asked, mildly interested. Artemis nodded. “Yup. Me and the girls consider you an unofficial part of the Greeks, so it’ll be fun! We’ll watch a movie, play truth or dare…” “What about Hera and Athena?” “They come, they just don’t participate. They are boooring.” Artemis faked a yawn, then said, “Aphrodite, Persephone, and Hestia are fun though! Oh, and me.” I thought for a second. “When is it?” “This Saturday night.” “Ok then, I’ll come. One question.” “Yeah?” “Are the guys going to pester us?” Artemis shook her head. “Nope. Saturday night they all go clubbing.” “But they all look like teens!” “Duh, private club.”

          “You’re going where?” I was explaining to my mother about the sleepover. “Its a sleepover thing… kinda. It’ll be fun mom.” “I don’t know… are there any guys?” I shook my head. “No, they’re all out… male-bonding.” I said, knowing my mother wouldn’t not like to know they’re all out drinking… even though its legal for them because they are over a thousand years old. “Well, alright. The minute any guys come into the room, you come home. Is that clear?” I rolled my eyes and said, “Yes mom.”

            “You’re here!!!!” Artemis came over and hugged me. “I managed to bribe the guys to stay out all night.” Hera said. “I still do not understand why we are doing this, but the younger, immature goddesses must think it is fun.” Hera said, smoothing down her dark purple nightgown. “Hera, you were never a kid.” “Neither was Aphrodite, but she’s enjoying it.” “So, where is the party?” I said, mildly joking. “Come on!” Artemis keeps forgetting she’s a lot stronger than me as she dragged me along. “Uh, Artemis, your hurting my arm.” “Whoops. Sorry!” She let go and we headed into a party room.

           “Wow.” That’s all I could say. The room was as about as big as twenty of my bedrooms. “Hey Sky!” Aphrodite said. “Look what I got!” She waved a movie around. “Athena, the whole party is about hanging out with your best friends, please put the book down.” Hestia said, looking at Athena, involved in some novel. “No.” Athena replied, not even removing her eyes from the book. Persephone, who was next to Hestia, said, “Even Hera is attempting to socialize.” Hera raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean by that, Persephone?” Persephone jumped and said, “Oh my… I didn’t mean… I’m just saying your just so… mature… so you don’t usually do teen stuff.” Hera shook her head and said, “You goof.”
