Friday went by in a breeze for Alex.

Unfortunately, there was still more school to be done after school was finished. The woes of homework and the need for good grades.

She met Sadie after her final shift. Starbucks was a summer gig that went until a few weeks after summer ended, but she was okay with it as long as she got paid.

Sadie groaned as she sat. "What the fuck will we do this bloody project on?" Her accent was the first thing Alex noticed.

"Want to just go for the A and do Zeus fucking some innocent girl?"

"Sure, but how will we do that in a way that isn't an essay?"

"I don't fucking know," Alex said. "I'll look up some ideas."

After a moment, Alex laughed. "Want to make an instruction manual on how to make the Goddess of Marriage hate her marriage?"

Sadie snorted and cackled. "Bloody brilliant! We should make it look really pretty and stuff and just have it say some shit like, uh, 'Get married to sister, have sex with every other god, have children with said gods, have sex with random mortals, have children with said mortals, and by then Hera's gone off on a killing spree.'"

Alex shrieked with laughter. "Holy shit, yes."

Shelby felt like shit. She didn't know why; she just did.

Depression was always like that for her. She feels great, then it knocks on her door and annihilates her whilst her cat watches and waits for pets.

Shelby stared right back at her wide green eyes and black coat. She picked up Goblin and turned on Brooklyn 99. Goblin didn't like being picked up until Shelby put her on the couch.

Goblin didn't need help getting on the couch; Shel had seen her on top of her fridge, but carrying Goblin was always fun. Sometimes Goblin liked to cuddle, and though that rarely happens while Goblin was in her arms, she approved of her slim chances.

Shel left Goblin waiting for pets and left Boyle ranting about some sort of food as she checked her freezer for ice cream.

She didn't have any.

"Past me, you little bitch," she muttered.

She plopped down on her couch, gently stroking Goblin. Her mom wasn't home yet, which was expected. Mortgage consultants deal with a lot of dumbass clients and realtors. Yet, Jaqueline Hicks only got paid on commission and had to go to a marketing event once a month.

Tonight was one of the said events. Jackie left Shel with the location and some left-over beef stew.

The stew was good, but she really wasn't feeling it.

Shel knew better than to call her mother during such an important event. Apparently, one of the most famous realtors in New York would be there, and it would be a huge opportunity to work with him. Dad was out of the question too. He was the assistant GM of a restaurant on a Friday night. He would be there until 2.

She didn't know who to talk to about this, so she watched Amy kick ass in her wedding dress.

It was at that moment when she got the call.

"Hey bitch," said Leona when Shel answered. "I have ice cream, and I need to tell you something about my quinces."

"You can come over."

Leona arrived within five minutes. She had caramel skin and long dark hair.

Shelby caught the pint of raspberry sorbet Leona threw at her. "Oh my god, I was craving this."

"Not about you," Leona said, sitting down next to her. "Guess who--Hi Goblin! Guess who just RSVP'd to my quinceanera?"

"God himself?"

"The super six!"

Shel choked on her sorbet.

Short chapter but, it was on schedule!

I saw a post about the crows being able to kill Thanos but the avenger's never being able to pull off the heist

That's all I've been thinking about.

Might explore that a bit. Use a cool portal thing and make a huge amount of short stories. PJO and Marvel, SoC and Marvel, PJO and ACOTAR (for the meme)

many possibilities

excited to randomly word barf.

I named Goblin her name because i felt like it would be cool to have this really serious time and just mention the cat

Because Rick would

Also what is the thing with Solangelo now? I don't feel like digging in Twitter, so can someone sum this shit up for me?

Quinces will come soon

That's all for now

wait actually, any ships I need ideas.

Love y'all!
