In hindsight, fist fighting the dad of like… four of her friends…was not the smartest move thirteen year old Diamond Zoë 'Zee' Snoops had made.
Especially not when the man in question was a god…
But, the brunette refused to regret it or back out now.
Even if fist fighting Hades in the parking lot of Ursula’s fish and Chips over one seaweed smoothie, two slightly used candies, and one curdled pudding was probably gonna be the last thing she ever did.
Hopefully Hannah wouldn’t revive her just to kill her again when she found out about this if she did end up dying.
Kailani grimaced, watching in horror from inside as Zee got Hades in a chokehold. Glancing over hesitantly at Tiger, D.E, and Tommy. “Should we… should we stop ‘em?”
Little eight year old Tommy was peeking through her hands, too scared to watch without the barrier of her hands in the way. Wiggling on her stool so much that her gerbil (who’s name the merperson couldn’t quite remember) nearly fell off her shoulder.
D.E (who’s age and face they still didn’t know) sat up in the rafters of the restaurant, peeking out the hole in the roof that Kailani’s mother still refused to get fixed as she sipped on her third anchovy smoothie of the hour.
Neither of them seemed to hear her.
But Tiger, who was on what had to be her third basket of fried shrimp shells, did hear her. “Let them fight. I wanna see who wins.”
Kailani sighed, draping a hand towel over her shoulder and crossing her arms. “You know Hannah's gonna kill them both, right?”
Tiger waved her off, not looking bothered in the slightest. “No she won't. Just relax and enjoy the show. This is WAAAAY better than what Boreadon has on Tv!”
Nate snorted from under the counter, causing Kailani to jump back in fright. “You got that right. If I have to sit through ONE more episode of Toddlers without Tiaras, I’m going to steal Beast’s first born child—”
“WHEN THE FUCK DID YOU GET THERE?! HOW THE FUCK—ARE YOU EATING THE CANDY STASH?!”
The blonde didn’t even blink before answering with a non apologetic “No.” As if he wasn’t surrounded by candy wrappers; the lying rat bastard.
The teal haired girl didn’t hesitate and grabbed the broom from the corner before Nate could fully escape from the small space he’d lodged himself in. Quickly swatting at him with it.
“Ow! Ow! Clever, come on dearie—OW!”
“Don’t you dearie me, you blonde worm!”
“Worm?! EXCUSE YOU, I AM ONE OF THE MOST PO—”
“Annoying moochs of the isle!”
“I AM NOT A MOOC—OUCH!”
Zee bit Hades’ hand, hard when he tried to pull her off his back. Causing him to stumble and yowl with pain.
“Listen little girl, I am NOT—” He flung her off of him. “In the mood for these games—”
She lunged at him. “Give me back my candy and my soda!”
“I CAN’T! I ALREADY ATE THEM!” He tried (and failed to doge), growling in irritation as the teen smacked him. “WILL YOU STOP IT?!”
The brunette snarled at him. “NO!”
"HADES—"
"DAD—"
"FATHER—"
"TÁTA—"
"ZEE—"
"—WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"
Hades and Zee both froze, slowly turning to see one very angry Persephone, one exasperated Hannah Hook, and all of Hades very shocked children staring at them.
Persephone had her hands on her hips.
And Hannah?
Well, Hannah just gave Zee a look that told her that she was going to be on toilet duty for a long, long time if she didn't like her explanation...
So, the two of them did the only thing either of them could think of—quickly pointing at one another.
"It was him—"
"It was her—"
"—What no it wasn't!"
