[The video turns on to show a little girl wearing a jean jacket with some store bought brownies on a plate. She looks a little nervous, but it fades when she smiles at the camera.]

So...I was told there were other gods and demigods here. And if none of you are busy, I'd really like to talk to you? Cause...I only know of gods from history books and stories, but it would be nice to know what actually happened and what was really embellished--cause author's tend to do that.

[And then she remembers the brownies.]

I've got brownies too! So...your time's not wasted or anything.

[Hopefully Grandma Emma won't be upset about this...her granddaughter basically asking to talk to strangers...

But really, what's the harm?

...And hopefully the gods and demigods like chocolate.]

Lucy...... You can't just offer brownies to god's.....

[Well, she can but should she is the question. ]

[Cue sheepish look.]

Well, what else was I supposed to offer them? Ice cream would melt.

[ of course it would. ]

okay, but why the sudden curiosity with Gods?

Well, wouldn't you be curious about them? They're more than just stories back home! It's like meeting a super hero--an actual super hero!

...or meeting Harry Potter.

But! I met Nico, and he's a demigod and he's so cool!! He's the one I went to the diner with.

I would be. [ Cue smile.] But not all Gods are friendly Lucy and not all magic is good.

I know...I know. [She looks down a little.]

But, I would imagine this place only brings good people here--and gods and demigods.

[She's pinching the bridge of her nose again, trying to calm down and act reasonably. ]

I think it's great that you think that Kiddo.... I do, but that isn't the way the world works all the time. But.... you have a lot of my kid in you and I never wanted to see that light go out of his eyes... ever.

Why would a place that's trying to get itself all fixed up bring bad people? That doesn't make a lot of sense.

[Using logic, because she is a smart cookie. But...she sort of sees where Emma is going with this.]

I promise to be careful--and I won't go with someone unless I have your permission. You're the one with the super power and can tell if there's something wrong or not.

okay..... no more sneaking out okay?

Promise!

[She'll be good, grandma, she will!]

...So, are you coming home soon?

Why?

[ Forgive her if she sounds wary. It's not like Henry hasn't had the same tone. ]

I'm coming home soon. Do you need something?

Because you’re been at work all day!

No, but can we get pizza tonight? Please? Or maybe have Mac and cheese?

You like Mac and Cheese?

[A nod of her head.]

Yeah, especially if it's baked mac and cheese.

Don't tell me Henry made you baked Mac and Cheese?

No, but my Aunt Sabine did. She's my mom's friend...and roommate, but she is a great cook.
