TINESKIP TO THE PARTY (aka 1 day)

"Hi!" I screamed as Kristal popped her head into my room.
"Jeez, Kris, ever heard of knocking?"
"Not today! HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!" She screamed, throwing confetti in my face. I recoiled and spit some out of my mouth.
"Uhh, thanks Kris-"
"-NOW COME DO STUFF!"
"Ok, ok, sheesh."

Kristal dragged me outside and into the kitchen, which was decorated win balloons and streamers. Mikey was holding a very lopsided cake. Alisa and Melanie ran over and gave me hugs.
"Happy b-day!" Alisa said, and I smiled at her.
"Thanks, Lyssie."
"AND TODAY IS OUR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!" Kristal yelled, excited.
"You guys can't be serious. You're seriously going to school?" Raph asked.
"Yeah....if I'm most likely gonna die in a few days, I wanna have some joy."
"Whatever. Go to town." I smiled.
"I can't believe it's been 5 months since we've seen Abbie and Sienna. Or Ava." Alisa said.
"Yeah. I miss Sienna the most. We were just getting close when we moved to California." I muttered mournfully.
"We should invite Abbi and Sienna to the party!" Kristal exclaimed, offering us an excited smile.
"How are they supposed to travel 3,000 miles? A magical portal?" Shadow asked sarcastically.
"Actually, yes." I said.
"What?" Everyone asked in sync.
"If I concentrate, I'll be able to open a portal through the Duat."
"Cool," Mikey whispered. Focusing my energy towards the abyss that is the Duat, I opened a portal to the West Side of NY.
"Cool!" Shadow exclaimed.
"I know, right?" I'll go get Abbi, Sienne, and Ava."
"That traitor?" Raph asked.
"She wasn't a traitor! She was probably forced to be his slave! Everyone deserves a second chance, and besides, she's my friend."
"Good luck with that." Donnie muttered.
"Alright." I went through the portal and made my way towards the neighborhood the three of them lived in. It's extremely convenient that they lived in the same development, isn't it? I saw Abbi and Sienna leave Sienna's house, backpacks on their backs.
"GUYS!" I screamed, running over and embracing my friends.
"EMILEE!" They yelled.
"How are you here?" Abbi asked.
"Long story. Point is, I need your help to find Ava, and then you guys get to visit California!"
"Ava? Thank goodness you mentioned her! She's good again! In fact, the three of us have been training together. And the people we've been training with know you!" Sienna exclaimed.
"Who?"
"We've been at Camp Half-Blood. The three of us are demigods, Emilee."
