2000 AUGUST

"Leo leo Leo Leo Leo. I have exciting news." Harrietta bounced up and down in front of the tired and sleep deprived daughter of Hecate.

"Whaaaat? I'm napping."

"You're always napping." Loretta frowned.

"And you're always interrupting my naps, what?" Leonore was frustrated.

"I heard someone has a crush on youuuu." Harriet yelled.

"Oh, gross. You said it was exciting news."

"This is exciting! Young love."

"You sound more Aphrodite than usual."

"Well, she is my mother. Who looks like she could be my sister!" Leonore snorted.

"Anyway...are you interested in learning more?"

"About your family tree? I'm familiar."

"No, about the person who has a crush on you."

"Even less so."

"Whyyy!" Harriet complained.

"Because if I know who it is I'm going to act weird around them!" Leonore frowned.

"Is it Slingshot Derek? No, don't tell me–"

"N–Leo."

"–I don't wanna know."

"Are you...an admirer of the Hunters of Artemis?"

Leonore looked confused and Harriet bit her lips.

"Is this your way to ask me if I'm gay?"

"Yeah well I was trying to do the whole thing.. but yeah.."

"Right. Well...yes. It's not a secret, you can tell Slingshot Derek, if you think it'll help."

"Well, it's not Slingshot Derek, but I'll go tell her you're not interested. Bye."

"[yawning] Okay, thanks. Wait, 'her'?"

"Enjoy your nap!"

"Wait, I wanna know who it is now! Harrietta!"
