Yesterday (Will Poulter fanfic)

Rocky Mountains

     "LET'S GET DOWN TO BUISNESS, TO DEFEAT THE HUNS! DID THEY SEND ME DAUGHTERS, WHEN I ASKED FOR SONS?" Percy and Iris sing the lyrics loudly up ahead. They've been doing this for the past hour and a half. Torturing us with Disney songs. It's not that I don't like Disney songs, it just I don't like it when they sing them.

     I still sing quietly in the back, Juliette walking next to me. Our Dads are way ahead. The four of us started walking a lot more slow and just chilling out some time ago. The air is frozen, but we put on pleanty of layers for this journey, so all we feel is the slight chill when the wind blows. The snow cruntches beneath our feet as we try not to lose our balance while climbing the many hills that the rocky mountains has. We're on a camping trip here for a week or so with our Dads. For some reason they wanted to bring us here. It's not so bad camping on the winter, actually. 

     Percy runs up a hill, beating on his chest as Iris spins around on a tree. They're very passionate when they sing, although I'm a lot more shy about it.

     "YOU'RE THE SADDEST BUNCH I'VE EVER MET, BUT YOU CAN BET BEFORE WE'RE THROUGH, MISTER I'LL MAKE A MAN OUT OF YOU!" Iris leaps out of the path in front of us.

     "Sing with us Sidney!" Percy hollars, grinning.

     "Nah, you guys are doing so well." I respond.

     "Sing!" Iris urges me, before they plunge into the next verse.

     I roll my eyes and join them, "TRANQUIL AS A FOREST, BUT ON FIRE WITHIN! ONCE YOU FIND YOUR CENTER, YOU ARE SURE TO WIN! YOU'RE A SPINELESS, PALE, PATHETIC LOT, AND YOU HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE! SOMEHOW I'LL MAKE A MAN OUT OF YOU!"

    We sing the rest of the song, laughing in between verses sometimes, and even Juliette joins in. We leap around on the path, acting out the words we sing. Finally we finish the song-

     "WE MUST BE SWIFT AS THE COURSING RIVER, WITH ALL THE STRENGTH OF A GREAT TYPHOON! WITH ALL THE STRENGTH OF A RAGING FIRE, MYSTERIOUS AS THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON!"

    We all jump around again, singing random parts of the song without shame.

     Suddenly, we hear our Dads up ahead-

     "SIDNEY!"

     "PERCY!"

     "IRIS!"

     "JULIETTE!"

     "ALL OF YOU HURRY UP!"

     We all share pouty glances and Iris yells back, "" WE'RE ENJOYING THE SNOWY NATURE!"

     "YEAH! LET THE TEENAGERS BE GRATEFUL FOR THE EARTH YOUR GENERATION RUINED!"

     Percy give me a high five, "Oooooh, that was a pretty sick burn, Sid."

     "Right?" I grin.

    Juliette pushes me forward, "Come on, we should hurry up, before it gets dark."

     Iris snorts, "It's not going to be dark for like another five hours, Juli. I think we're good."

     "Better safe than sorry." She nods.

     Iris shakes her head, "This cautious phase you're going through - I don't like it."

     I snort, looking at Percy, "Hey, Perc, remember when you were going through that emo phase?"
