Anyone else excited for spring break? Well, obviously, I am, and since we are talking about spring, how about some Demeter kids? Hey, spring means growing stuff, right? And yeah, Persephone is officially out of the Underworld…or not. I mean, come on, just look at the bright weather outside! (Note the sarcasm)


Katie wasn't sure if killing a Stoll would go against her usual peacefulness, but it was for a good reason. She would save everyone a headache. Sighing, Katie climbed the ladder, whistling to stay calm. It would be so great to throttle that Stoll…

'Tranquil, sun, grass, photosynthesis,' Katie told herself. But the chocolate bunnies had melted on the grass roof, and this would take her a long time to get rid of. Katie was in charge of cleaning, anyway, but it would've been nice having someone help you.

Splat. Grimacing, Katie suddenly wished her siblings were here. The chocolate stuck to her bare feet, and it did not help that the summer sun was still shining. What was Annabeth teaching that took hours?

Carefully, Katie took the bucket of water and poured it all over the chocolate covered grass. The water oozed all over the grass, and Katie smiled in satisfaction. Plants were her thing, after all.

Putting all of her concentration on to the grass, she tried to coax it out of the roof. But the grass was dead, no longer alive, with the melting chocolate bunnies.

"The Hades?!" Katie kicked a glob of chocolate grass into air, furious. Oh, she will make Travis pay.

Reaching for the bucket, she stooped on the roof, trying to cleave her mind into two, one part keeping her balanced with whatever healthy grass, the other trying to control the dead grass. She didn't mind challenges, after all.

Katie started scooping the chocolate and grass goop into the bucket, ignoring the glances people were giving her. This was normal, in Camp Half Blood. A girl trying to clean up chocolate from her cabin roof, a lady watching her from the roof, laughing-

Wait, what? Katie spun around, trying to move her hair from her black eyes. (I checked the Wiki. This is what they think her eye color is) The Mist was playing tricks; a young woman was watching her work, and she apparently found it funny. Wait, better word would be hilarious.

The woman looked like she was in her late 20s, and she was beautiful. Her blonde curls were set into an ornate bun, Greek style. Her eyes were electric blue, like a child of Zeus. Her fresh grass green chiton contrasted with her tanned skin, and like Katie, she was barefoot. A golden glow surrounded her. Katie wasn't fazed. She was a demigod, after all.

"Do I know you?" Katie was suspicious. She had figured out the lady was a goddess (The golden glow was one clue, and the fact she was laughing while Katie toiled was major hint), but which one?

Ignoring Katie's question, the goddess smoothly replied, "It's really rude to take my husband's name in vain, you know."

Katie gaped at her. "Persephone," she breathed. The smell of melting chocolate wafted to Katie's nose. Sighing, she bent down and kept scooping. "Any special reason you are here? I thought the gods were banned from meeting demigods."

"Ah, but after my father, Zeus, allowed Hades to kidnap me, I rebelled against his rules. Besides, its spring! I am allowed to go anywhere I want to. My mother, sorry, our mother Demeter managed to restrict my privileges. And here I am."

Katie nodded her head, but she still didn't realize the big fuss about Persephone. Sure, her story with Hades may be the most popular in a book of Greek myths, but she was basically forced to marry her stalker uncle, which didn't sound romantic to Katie. (Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, guys. Trust me, it's hilarious. I feel really bad for those who haven't read it)

It was an awkward silence, before Katie asked, "Can you help me?" Persephone laughed again, and Katie wasn't too pleased. "Me, the goddess of spring, help you, a demigod? Just because we have the same mother doesn't mean we have to be all sisterly."

"Just because we have the same mom doesn't mean we act alike," Katie retorted back. She was on her last straw. Slamming her bucket down, Katie angrily said to no one in particular, "Travis Stoll, why do you hate me so much?!"

"I may not be that annoying Aphrodite, but I do know for a fact he doesn't hate you," Persephone said, almost in a smug voice. Katie turned to her, confused. "What do you mean?"

"Well, why would he prank you so much? There are plenty of other cabins in this camp, but why yours?"

"He knows we're not violent, but it may change as soon as I'm done with this."

Persephone smirked. With a snap of her fingers, the goop was gone, and the grass roof was perfect, as if nobody had put chocolate bunnies on there, waiting for Katie Gardener to kill that particular pranker.

Katie groaned. She was tempted to ask "Why didn't you do that earlier?" but she decided not to push it. You don't know what to expect from gods.

Instead, she said, "I have a feeling you are her for a reason." Katie looked at her older stepsister, waiting to see if she would acknowledge anything. Instead, the goddess waved her hand over the roof. A wooden table and bench appeared, floating in midair.

"You must be tired. I'll be a good sister and serve lunch," Persephone replied, ignoring Katie's flabbergasted expression. With a snap of her fingers, food and drinks appeared, and the two of them were seated.

Persephone held a pitcher of lemonade. "Want some? I know this one nymph who makes the best lemonade, and I managed to get her recipe. You haven't lived if you never tasted this before." Before Katie could say she hated lemonade, Persephone filled a a whole cup and gave it to Katie. "Go on. Try it."

Katie didn't know how Percy Jackson managed to stay calm when a god told him what to do when he didn't want to, but she still took a sip. And drained the whole glass.

Persephone chuckled. "I told you."

Katie scowled at her. "I know there are good goddesses, but I'm getting the feeling you came here for another reason. And I know it's not to serve me lunch."

Persephone lazily spun the Lazy Susan (The thing usually in the middle of the table with food. For those who are lazy to lean over and pick something. Like me ;)), settling on spinach filled rolls.

"My mother was right," she replied. "You are smart. And yes, I am not here to help you or serve you food." Persephone took a bite of her roll, chewing slowly enough to annoy Katie.

"I came here to see what my mother loved about you. After a few incidents, she promised not to attach herself to any of her mortal children, but for you, she holds a special spot."

Putting down her half eaten roll, Persephone analyzed Katie, who squirmed uncomfortably.

Katie never really cared what she wore, and like usual, she was wearing her faded Camp Half Blood shirt, knee length jeans, and her dark brown hair was in a messy bun. Persephone clicked her tongue.

"I don't see it, actually. Have you even talked to mom?"

The answer was no. But on the day her dad told her her mom was a goddess, it was madness. Dean Gardener ( Yeah, I just made that up. Sorry!), never lied, so Katie believed him. He sent her to Camp Half Blood, and Chiron taught her about Iris messaging, and Katie decided to send her mom one. Yeah, not only did Demeter not respond, the water caused mud.

Katie shook her head. "But I did send her an IM. She didn't attend, and I ended cursing at her." Katie flushed under the goddess's gaze.

"I have to say, that was very bold of you. And extremely stupid. Did anything happen after that?"

"No, but I have a question. Why are you, out of all the goddesses being nice and caring to me? Shouldn't you hate me because I'm mom's favorite demigod child or something?"

Persephone laughed, and said, "I do, but if I kill you, our mom will kill me. Besides, Aphrodite bet me I couldn't be a good older sister for one day. If I win, I get her favorite chiton."

Katie rolled her eyes. "Well, that's great. Anyway, I have classes to go to, and besides, where are my siblings?"

"I lengthened their time, so we could get time alone. Sibling bonding time. Besides, I don't want you to go through the same mistake as I did."

Persephone waved her hand over the table, and the food and beverages and the table itself disappeared. She sighed.

"You must've heard about my myth, about Hades kidnapping me and stuff." Katie nodded. Her ADHD was starting to get the best of her, and she started to fiddle with her dagger.

"But the stories won't tell my part. I mean, I knew he loved me, but I just ignored it. He was the lord of the Underworld, after all. And he was my uncle, but then again, my parents are siblings."

Katie shivered, feeling disgusted. That was like she marrying her brother. Though the gods didn't have DNA or anything that was still incest.

Persephone continued. "But he told my dad, who agreed to let him kidnap me, and then I became the queen of the Underworld."

"So you are trying to say its Zeus's fault?" Thunder boomed, though it was a too sunny Easter. (Hello? Chocolate bunnies? Easter bunny?)

"Shh," Persephone warned. "Although that is true, my point is that you shouldn't ignore the signs. If you do, you could get in serious trouble. Like how mortals drive. Ignore the red lights, you get a ticket. If you stop patiently, you won't have to pay. Unless there are things I don't know."

Katie got up, stretching. "So who likes me?"

Persephone smiled slyly. "Enjoy your Easter, sister." She left in, the scent of pomegranates strong. Katie stared at the spot where Persephone was, and though over her words. The answer hit her in the form of a plastic Easter egg.

"Happy Easter, Kit Kat!" Travis laughed at Katie's expression. Behind him, the Demeter cabin was coming back from their lessons. Glowering, Katie summoned vines, long and thick. They wrapped themselves around him, and he started screaming.

Katie got down from the roof, ignoring the fact that her legs were still mucky and her face was smeared with chocolate. Instead, she snapped her fingers and the vines retracted. Travis opened his mouth to thank her, but she grabbed his shirt.

"Do you like me, yes or no?" Katie said in a dead calm voice. Travis nodded quickly. "Do you plan on asking me out using your words?"

He cleared his throat, and nervously spoke. His voice cracked on, "Will you-"

"Yes, I will, Travis. But no more pranks, got me?" Travis nodded again. When Katie let him go, he gave her a quick peck on her lips. He smiled. "Don't kill me?"

Katie groaned and went to her cabin to change, walking as if nothing unusual happened. When she opened the door, overripe pomegranates burst on to her. Then, the chocolate goop from earlier fell on her. She almost yelled at Travis, but she knew who did this.

"PERSEPHONE!"


Wow, this wasn't a one shot, even I know. But for those who read the whole thing, Happy belated Easter! For this, I remembered reading something about chocolate bunnies on the Demeter cabin roof. I know, I know, this wasn't very well thought out, but after reading numerous fanfics, I never see any Persephone and any other Demeter kid interaction. Or Ceres kid.

Moving on. I don't like to give spoilers, but I plan on doing a Frank/Clarisse shot next (for one of my loyal reviewers ClarisseLaRue-DaughterOfAres (love your penname BTW, very appropriate). And after that, my fanfiction friend Lenister requested a three sibling shot. I know, suspense, oooohhhh….

And that is it guys. Hope all of you enjoyed this, and don't be hesitant to hit that review button. Seriously, expect reviews from me. Bye!
