Percy sighed as he sipped his coke from his extra-large cup. He walked out of the movies once again disappointed by the movie he just saw.

To everyone else there, the movie was new and interesting, but for Percy, it was ancient history. Well, maybe not ancient, but definitely old.

It was the end of May, a little over three months had passed by since Percy came back to 1994. He had spent most of that time being trained into the dirt by a slave-driving goddess of magic, but he didn't mind. After all, it was magic! Who didn't want to learn magic!?

Although to be honest, Percy did feel like simply snapping his wand and running away just to get rid of it all. It was interesting but gods, one can only learn the same stupid thing over and over until they almost lose their mind!

And that was why days like this were there, days when Hecate allowed Percy to move about freely in Surrey and allow him to experience a mortal life. He got a day off every other week, and mostly Percy used that time to see a movie or walk around in the park.

Today Percy saw a movie called 'When a Man Loves a Woman'. It was a sappy romantic drama. He didn't normally watch those kinds of films, but that was the point. The movies he already did see would bore the hell out of him, so if he ever wanted to see something new and interesting he would need to improve his choice in movies.

In all honesty, Percy didn't mind the film though he would never admit that to anyone.

The movie was about a woman who was an alcoholic that is helped by her husband. It was sad, it was sappy and honestly had a lot of heart. Though if you saw Percy tear up in the end he would swear up and down it was because the theater was dusty.

Percy looked up and saw the sun setting in the distance, he didn't have to go home just yet. He still had some time for himself.

As he turned up the street, he saw a pair of boys and a pair of girls walk in front of him.

The girls looked around Percy's age, maybe a bit younger. The boys though... Percy narrowed his eyes. The boys looked familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

One of the boys looked a bit like a rat, with large front teeth and a skinny frame. The other was very large like he was trying to imitate a baby whale. The small puff of hair on the top of his head honestly looked like a toupee and combined with his bowl cut... Well, it wasn't gaining him any favors, to say the least.

"So, did you like the movie Cassy?" The larger boy asked in a tone Percy recognized, the kid was head over heels in love.

"It was really good." The girl, Cassy replied. She had black hair that came down to her shoulders. Her friend and she both wore a white shirt and black and green checked skirt, it looked like a school uniform.

"Yeah, thanks for the tickets fat ass." The other girl smirked. She had brown hair with blonde streaks running through it. "Still don't understand how your parents let you spend so much money."

"Oh, that's because little Dudley here is rich as shit! All he has to do is put on an innocent face and mommy and daddy will come running to him!" The thin boy said with a snort.

"Shut up Piers! That's very rude!" Cassy yelled out.

"Bite me bitch." The rat-faced kid, Piers retorted.

"Is that any way to talk to your sister?!"

"Only when she acts like a stuck up brat!"

"Apologize right now Piers! Or I swear to God I'll tell mom you skipped school today to come with us to the theater!"
