I stood against Thalia's pine,waiting for Melina.It was 5:49,so I was a bit early.I had about $20 with me,so we could get into the movies no problem.

Melina Riley Johnson

"Those who begin by burning books will end by burning people."

Melina climbed to the peak of Half-Blood Hill, where she found her boyfriend leaning against the trunk of Thalia's pine tree. She was dressed in a plain, lavender T-shirt with black capris, and a bright-ish black denim jacket; just in case it became cold. The jacket was only buttoned half way to reveal her shirt. "Hey," she greeted. "Ready to go?"

"Hey." I said,and walked toward her,my hands in my pockets.I was acutally wearing normal clothes for once.Just a t-shirt and a pair of shorts,no cloak."Yeah,I'm ready."

"What movie are we going to see?" she asked curiously. Her gray yes seemed to flicker in the dimness that was becoming night, and her curly, blond hair rested peacefully on her head. "I'm fine with anything."

Subject: Re: To da movies! Tue May 17, 2011 4:02 pm

"I don't know.Let's just go see what's out." I said.

Subject: Re: To da movies! Tue May 17, 2011 4:08 pm

"Okay." Melina walked beside Kai. She kept her hands inside her jacket. "It's been a while since I've strolled around New York," she began. "I don't know where we're going, so you might have to show me, if that's all right."

Subject: Re: To da movies! Tue May 17, 2011 4:16 pm

"That's fine." I said.As we walked,I thought."Ever wish you could be a mortal,just for one day?Not having to worry about Kronos,the gods,or monster attacks?" I asked.

Subject: Re: To da movies! Tue May 17, 2011 4:24 pm

Melina shrugged, her hands still reasting in the pockets of her jacket. "Yes, but in many ways, no." She did indeed lust for the freedom the mortals were blessed with, but she, in some ways, enjoyed being who she was. She wouldn't be as strong as she is now, and probably not as intelligent. If it wasn't for this completly different world, she probably wouldn't have been reunited with her sister.

Then again, it was the monsters that caused her family to split. It was the monsters that caused her father to end up in the hospital. It was the monsters that kept her father and she traveling the world to escape death. Why, why her? Why did it have to be the one's that she loved that had to suffer such affliction?

I nodded."I would like the no-worrying.But there isn't anything as fun a kickin' monster slime." I decided.

Subject: Re: To da movies! Tue May 17, 2011 4:35 pm

Melina nodded her head in agreement. "Yeah, it would be so much easier." The twelve-year-old suddenly thought of her sister. "Everything would be so much easier for Stella," she murmured soberly. The daughter of Athena felt guilty for living. If it wasn't for her existance, Stella would've been able to grow a bond with their father instead of her. She wouldn't have to have been shipped off to Greece to live with her grandmother. In fact, if it wasn't for her, Stella would be able to advance in her career as an actress much more smoothly. The monsters wouldn't bother her, as her scent wouldn't be as strong without Melina.

I tilted my head to the side."Who's Stella?" I asked curiously.I'd never met a Stella.

Subject: Re: To da movies! Tue May 17, 2011 4:44 pm

Melina jerked her head to the side quickly, realizing that she spoke to loud. "Oh, Stella is my sister. Eight years older than me. She more of the, well, artistic genius of the Johnsons than the intellectual one."

Subject: Re: To da movies! Tue May 17, 2011 4:52 pm

I nodded.I couldn't really relate,considering I'd never had an older full sibling.So I just nodded and tried to imagine what it must be like.

Subject: Re: To da movies! Tue May 17, 2011 6:06 pm

Silence fell on the two for a short while. "Are we almost there?" Melina asked, breaking the peace. "Not to be impatient or anything . . . Just a question."

Subject: Re: To da movies! Tue May 17, 2011 6:14 pm

"Yeah.Right here,to the left of the Chinese place." I replied.Soon the movies were in sight."So what do you wanna see?" I asked her.

Subject: Re: To da movies! Tue May 17, 2011 6:18 pm

Melina shook her head. "I don't know. Let's go see what's out." She walked into the theatre and obseved the list of movies. She couldn't make out what the words were, due to dyslexia. "Uh, yeah. I can't read the sign."

Subject: Re: To da movies! Tue May 17, 2011 6:22 pm

I looked at it."I think it says Shiblegatesgognato." I said,but I was serious.

Subject: Re: To da movies! Tue May 17, 2011 6:30 pm

Melina managed a small laugh, a smile forming on her face afterwards. "How about . . . that one?" She pointed to a word on the sign, still oblivious to what it said. Finally her dyslexia cleared up, it said: "The Fighter." "I don't know, I'm just throwing out suggestions."

Subject: Re: To da movies! Tue May 17, 2011 6:36 pm

I shrugged."Sounds cool.I'll go buy the tickets." I said,then I walked up to the guy,got some tickets,and walked back.

Subject: Re: To da movies! Tue May 17, 2011 6:43 pm

[color=olive]Melina looked at the tickets with her gray eyes, attempting to read the words. "I could be wrong, but it says the movie is in theatre twelve. I'm not sure, though," she said, pointing out her dyslexia. With that, shs reached for Kai's hand and led him to the movie.

Subject: Re: To da movies! Tue May 17, 2011 7:05 pm

I nodded.Then walked with her happily.I liked hanging out with Melina.

Subject: Re: To da movies! Tue May 17, 2011 7:10 pm

The two demigods finally reached theatre 12. Melina picked out two seats all the way in the back, that way there would be no disturbances from children, or for that matter, adults. She plopped herself down on one of the seats. "Well, here we are."

Subject: Re: To da movies! Tue May 17, 2011 7:16 pm

I sat next to her."I wonder what this movie is about." I said.

Subject: Re: To da movies! Tue May 17, 2011 7:26 pm

"I never read the reviews," Melina added. "We'll just have to see." She stared at the screen, taking in every scene of the movie. It was sort of violent, but in a way, not so much.

Subject: Re: To da movies! Tue May 17, 2011 7:28 pm

The movie seemed okay,but I wasn't really watching it.It was just nice to be out with Melina.
