Recap:

"This is..." she starts off, and then gets up "Absolutely delicious!"

"Ah thank you!" I smiled "Also what are Chicken Nuggets?"

Later:

Y/N's POV:

"Hey, Artemis! Y/N!" Persephone calls us "What do you think?"

"Persephone...You can't wear that. You look like a relic," Artemis comments "You too, Y/N"

"Aw...I tried," I was wearing white drapes

"But these are the only dresses that we have right now..." Persephone states

"I've got something that you both can borrow," Artemis then went through her drawers and then threw a dress at our faces "Here, try these on,"

I walked into the bathroom and wore the dress. I looked into the mirror. It was a black mini dress.

"Way too much skin..." I said quietly

I then stepped out of the bathroom where Persephone was wearing a white mini dress.

"You look lovely M'L-Persephone," I stated

"And you look lovely too," she smiles

"Aw I want to be showered with compliments," Artemis says butting in

"You too, look lovely Artemis," I chuckled

We then made our way to our destination. It was extremely chaotic, the music was booming and it was not Persephone's thing.

We went to the bathroom because Persephone needed to talk to us. Persephone then looks in the mirror and tugs her dress a bit.

"I don't should I should have come to this party," she says

"Come on! You look fantastic!" Artemis urges her "Right Y/N?"

"I agree with Artemis," I nodded my head

"I feel out of depth. Everyone's going to think I'm some stupid village girl," she says, I then held her hand

"Who cares what they think? I'm a flower nymph from the mortal realm, and serves the beautiful goddess of spring," I said with a smile

"Y/N is right, she'll be made fun of more," Artemis says, I the glared at her

"I'm really nervous," Persephone continues to fidget

"Awwww, Persephone. You'll do fine. We'll stay under the radar," Artemis assures her

"One drink and then we can go, right?" she asks

"Promise," Artemis says "Y/N?"

"I'll follow Persephone's orders," I smiled

"Okay..." Persephone smiles

We then walked out of the bathroom, and onto the dance floor. Persephone got a drink, but then someone bumped into her and she dropped her drink. She then bent down and picked up the flower petals.

"Oi! Watch where you're going," Artemis scolded the man, I then offered my hand to Persephone "Are you okay?"

"Yes," she then takes my hand and I picked her up, the man the apologized

"Should I get you another drink?" I asked her

"It's okay, let's just dance for a bit," she smiled uncomfortably, I sighed

"Persephone...If you want to go home we can go home," I said with a smile

"Hm...Maybe in a few minutes," she says "Let's enjoy ourselves for a bit,"

Zeus's POV:

"Who is that?" my brother asked

I then looked into the crowd to see who he was talking about. I then spotted a pink goddess.

"Who? Pinky?" I asked

"P-Pinky?" he asks

"Persephone, she's Demeter's daughter. She's the goddess of spring. And that flower nymph is her servant I believe,"

Hades then puts on his glasses. 

"Demeter's daughter, you say?" he was spilling his drink all over the clean floors, I raised my eyebrow towards Poseidon who was smiling "I didn't even know she had a daughter...Hold on. How come I've never seen her before?"

"It's complicated..." I mumbled "But basically Demeter doesn't like the way I run things...So she opted to do her duties in the Mortal Realm. Apparently, I'm "morally corrupt" Whatever that means. So for the most part, she raised Persephone in the Mortal Realm. I'm surprised Demeter let her move to the city, to be honest. She's always been super protective of Persephone,"

"Honestly, I think she puts Aphrodite to shame," Hades jokes around "I need to talk to her, but she's with Artemis and that nymph,"

"Artemis passionately hates you," Poseidon chuckles

"Wow! Really, Poseidon?" Hades laughs sarcastically "I hadn't noticed!"

"Ok ok ok, I've got a plan," I suggested

"Hit me," Hades was open to the suggestion

"I'll distract Artemis. While I'm doing that you talk to Persephone," I state

"How about that flower nymph?" I asked

"I'll improvise," I replied

"Perfect," Hades says

"What do I do?" Poseidon asks

"Errrrrr, stay here and drink a beer?" I suggested

"I'm on it," Poseidon replies

Y/N's POV:

"And so I punched him in the face, and that was that!" Artemis says, I then see a purple man walking toward us

"Hello, Artemis. You're looking splendid as always," he says

"Hey Zeus, great party," Artemis says

"Word on the street is your market-ship is excellent but your brothers are still second to none," he says

"Says who?!" Artemis was then enraged "I want to settle this right now!"

I then turned around to take Persephone home, but she was gone.

"Persephone?" I continued to look around, I then continued to walk around "Persephone?"

'Oh shit...Lady Demeter is going to kill me,' I thought to myself, I then bumped into a tall figure

"Sorry, excuse me-" I said walking past him, he then grabs me tightly by the wrist

"Isn't it rude to bump into someone?" he stared at me with his piercing eyes

"I said I'm sorry," I said tugging my wrist away, I then bumped into another man behind me

"Let's have a little fun shall we?" the other man grabs me on the hips

"Let go of me!" I said angrily, I then used my other arm and elbowed the man behind me in the stomach, and punched the person who was grabbing onto my wrist

"Ow...You'll regret that you useless nymph," he says

I gulped. 'Fuck I'm really screwed now...' I thought to myself '

"Leave the poor nymph alone," I hear a familiar voice, I looked up and saw Hermes
