In The NYC [me and Darcy]

Astrid ordered a bacon cheeseburger with a side of large fries, claiming that this place had the best fries in the world. Exy went on to order a rack of baby-back ribs with honey bar-b-que sauce and Alexia ordered a large steak cooked medium rare with a side of Irish Mashed Potatoes and corn. Emily kept things simple and very British with Beer Battered Fish n Chips. Cyrus surprised a few people and ordered a Fillet Mignon with mashed potatoes as well and a Red Bull. Red Bull and steak? Really? I have to be up talking with designers and plan a trip for my next show as well as traveling with my mother, believe me if you were in this situation you would be doing the same thing. He explained in almost a groan. When Emily heard what Darcy was ordering he gave her a confused, yet understanding, look. Don't let the others in the cabin get to you, that's what they want. Believe me, I know. She laughed and ordered some more bread for the table as well as a plate of large cheese fries, to which Exy fist bumped her and went back to talking with Alexia and Astrid.

She smiled slightly. 'I-its alright...I don't have much of an appetite nowadays..Because of those horrid monsters in my cabin...' She shrugged.

Bull! You said earlier you were starving. Or did lover boy fulfill that hunger? Exy smirked. Cyrus glared at the son of Hermes and then smirked as well. At least I don't need to pickpocket them and pretend they dropped a wallet in order to get a girl to notice me. That set him off. Exy slammed his hand on the table and pointed directly at the other demigod, Alexia having to practically hold him back from jumping the table.That is not true now take it back pretty boy or so help me I will personally see you to the Underworld by my own hand. Astrid glared at Exy. Exy, sit down. Cyrus, knock it off. Cyrus chuckled and Exy eventually sat down again, still glaring at the son of Himeros.

Darcy had raised her eyebrows. 'Well then.' She picked a leaf from her salad and chewed it, smiling. Leaning back in the booth, she added 'Cyrus isn't 'loverboy', nor did he 'fulfil that hunger.'

And the little girl protects the lion. Exy smirked, Cyrus now clenching his fist and jaw. Exy. Shut up and eat your food before I call a snake and have it bite you. Astrid threatened before she bit into her burger. Cyrus began cutting into his steak as Emily ate her fries and didn't say a word on the matter. It was clear that Exy and Cyrus wouldn't get along at times where as earlier they were the best of friends.

Darcy glanced between Cyrus and Exy. "Guys,...really. Just,... Maybe not talk to eachother?" She was quite worried, since Exy had nearly attacked Cyrus, and it might happen again.

That won't be necessary. The demigod said standing and setting his napkin on the table, leaving his share of lunch money on the table.I think I'll be getting back to work. Darcy, friends. It was a pleasure. The son of Himeros said as he left the restaurant and walked down the street.Way to go Nimrod, you made Cyrus leave. Alexia said annoyed as she hit Exy. Emily and Astrid both said how unsurprising it was and went back to eating.

Darcy watched him leave, a little annoyed and confused. "Exy...Why'd you make him go?" She pouted slightly.

Awe does the little lamb miss the lion? He chuckled.You do know he isn't going to ever date you right? Him and Cleo are practically inseparable when they're dating. You're simply the filler while they are on a break. He said in an obvious tone as he ate more food, wiped his hands, and left leaving his money and tip as well.Word of advice kid, don't get your hopes up. He said before leaving casually and getting in a taxi no doubt to head to a club. The girls at the table were silent as they ate but each and every one of them had a sad expression on their face to some extent.

Darcy sighed. "Whatever. I know that he doesn't like me. So I shouldn't like him."

Emily sighed. Don't be too harsh on yourself Darcy. Cyrus does mean well and he usually sticks with a person he uses his magic on for a while. He's just pretty bad at being in relationships. Hell, the only reason he and Cleo work well together at all is because she's an Aphrodite and understands. the modeling life and such. The half sister said trying to encourage and give hope where there was little to none. Alexia gave a half smile as well. Yeah, and he seemed rather fond of you even before the magic. She said adding to the encouragement.

Darcy smiled slightly. 'Thanks guys.I'm alright, though.'

Astrid groaned as she finished all her food.Come on, we have to go do something now since the guys are all gone. She complained and responded to a few of her phone text messages.

'Makeovers?' Darcy grinned. Makeovers were her specialty.

Emily quickly agreed and Alexia was on board as well, seeing as she loved her wigs and fashion. Astrid shrugged and finally agreed. Let's go back to my cabin, it's practically empty. Alexia grinned as she finished her food, as did the other girls.

Nodding, she stood and smiled hugely, forgetting about her boy problems.

After everyone paid for their meals and left a tip Emily got a better idea. Why don't we go get a hotel room, get all dressed up, and go for a night on the town? We can do makeovers during every thing as a sort of prep for the evening. She smiled as Alexia agreed and Astrid just shrugged her shoulders. It was clear the Loki wasn't thrilled about the idea of a makeover but even still.

Darcy nodded. 'Good idea.'

The girls got up and made their way towards the door before Emily saw a cute guy sitting by himself and immediately sniped a picture and posted it on her Snapchat with the caption "Why must the cute ones be mortals?" She laughed a little at the remark and the girls were soon outside the restaurant, Kili smoking as usual.

"We gonna pamper ourselves? Give ourselves a treat?' She smiled, pushing her hair out of her eyes.

Of course! What kinds if Aphrodite would i be if i didn't pamper my friends with makeovers? Emily joked as she made her way to the hotel her father was working with and the place she was staying for a few days in NYC for buisness. The outside, although tall and blending in well with the other buildings there was something to be said for the inside of it. Large arches and magnificent marble as well as gold accents it was a sight to behold.

She still felt shy, quiet and unsure around the group. Nevertheless, she was amazed by the magnificent sight around her. 'Oh my gods.." Darcy breathed.

Everyone piled into an elevator and Kili pulled Darcy in as well as the girls all climbed to the penthouse suite. Emily and everyone walked out and in no time Alexia and Emily were giggling to one another about Lexi's daughter. So Darcy, What do you think of the two toned son of Himeros? She asked giving a playful nudge.

Blushing, she replied "Uhm, he's uh, nice?' She was hesitant and awkward

Uh, oh. I think Cyrus bagged another one ladies. Astrid laughed before moving into the kitchen and making a drink for herself. Kili jumped onto the couch and started smoking another cigarette. Least she can get someone. The daughter of Nemesis said. Astrid lunged at the girl and in no time the two were fighting and wrestling with laughing as well. It was clear that the two were goofing off but even still it was worrisome that the two were going to fight so easy.
