An Icy Threat
Authors note: a piece of fiction until I can RP as Neva with a Hades.
Also had an idea for alternative ending, lemme know if you'd like to see it and I'll write it! But hopefully this will inspire someone to wanna RP with me :)
---------------------------------------------
Neva was watching the happenings in the Isle of the lost. It was her only way to spy on Auradon thanks to her old home welcoming the core four that were Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos over to their side. The Isle was full of excitement because those very four kids had managed to stop the jealous Audrey- daughter of Aurora and Prince Phillip from causing destruction in Auradon.
Part of her was sad Audrey failed, yet another part of her was joyful at her failure. It meant she could bring her own destruction to Auradon. It was four years since she had been banished to the Isle. Banishment for avenging her family’s honour and title. Hans is the true villain, not her. However in these four years, she had grown with the attitude of 'if they want me to be the monster... Fine. I’ll be the monster'.
“You’re staring into your shard deep in thought again.” A male voice echoed through her frozen forest. “Hades...” she simply greeted, waving her hand to close the images in her magical shard and turning to look at him. “And what brings the fire to my domain?” She questioned him. This made Hades smirk and chuckle. “Really Neva? What’s with the dramatics today?” He asked, walking up her ice steps to her chair, feeling glad he always his favourite clunky boots so not to slip.
“I’m just keeping up to date on the goings-on. Nothing wrong with that is there?” Neva simply retorted with a smidge false innocence in her voice. “Now, no need for the sass.” Hades began. “Neva, if you needed updates you could just ask me. I am after all one of the rare ones that doesn’t find you intimidating.” He smirked. This caused her to roll her eyes. “And that my dear Hades, requires leaving my forest and losing my temper with the VKs.” She told him back, leaning close to his face and using her index finger to flick his chin from underneath.
“You’re a flirt. You know that right?” Hades pointed out. “Only to you,” She smiled, before standing up and walking down the steps towards the trees that line the little frozen lake to her left. Hades chuckled, he was pleased he got that out of her. He had found her utterly fascinating and ironically hot for quite some time. “Now whose the one staring?” She called out, not even needing to turn to look at him to know he was watching her every move.
“Do you wanna know what’s happening in Auradon or not?” Hades changed the subject and this made Neva turn around. “They stopped Audrey. You got a clever daughter. What else is there to know?” She replied to him. “They need me to go over and save Audrey. Her use of Maleficent’s staff put her in a death like sleep. So I’m going.” Hades explained. This actually surprised Neva. “But why? She doesn’t deserve it! If I got this for what I did, she should remain in her own prison!” Neva complained, her voice full of anger. “Im not doing it for Audrey. I’m doing it for Mal...and to get my ember back.” He explained, walking over to her and placing his hands on her arms.
Neva scoffed. “Its true. I couldn’t give two damns about those heroes, but I do care about Mal. She deserves happiness.” Hades continued and this made Neva calm slightly. She always did admire his fondness for Mal, despite staying out of her life for all these years. “...fine” she simply said. Hades then got a smile on his face. “If I didn’t know better I’d say you were jealous.” He joked, making Neva breaking out of his grip and conjuring a snowball to throw at his chest.
“You’re insufferable.” She commented. “And you’re surprisingly hot when you’re mad and well... For an ice cold princess.” He replied smiling smugly. Neva walked back to him. “How do you do that?” She questioned, “Do what?” “Make me fall in love with you when you make me so mad?” Neva admitted and that threw Hades off guard for a few seconds. “Because I’m a God” He smirked, grabbing her and lifting her head up to his. Just as he was about to give her the kiss he’d always wanted, there was a cough in the near distance snapping him out of the moment.
“Mal, you’re here for me already?” He asked with a sigh. “Yes dad. Audrey can’t keep waiting.” Mal told him, her arms folded across her from the cold. Carlos and Jay were seen behind her. Carlos looked utterly terrified but Neva couldn’t work out who he was terrified of. Hades looked back to Neva, “I guess we’ll save that moment for later. I’ll be back Icy” He winked, walking over to his daughter and her friends.
“I’ve told you before hot head! Don’t call me that!” she called out, throwing another snowball at him, this time hitting him square in the back. She saw Carlos jump and squeal at the action. “God you two! You’re worse than us kids!!” Mal complained leading Hades back to the limo. “She’s terrifying, no wonder the VKs don’t step foot in that forest anymore.” Carlos whispered to Jay. “If you’re going to whisper, do it quietly. She’s no scarier than any one of us.” Hades chimed in, giving the son of Cruella a sideways glance.
Hades was sent back to the Isle and his first stop was to Neva's forest. “Neva?!” He shouted looking everywhere for her. “Where is that—” “icy witch?” Came the interrupted reply from behind him.
“Just came to say I’m back and shall we continue where we left off?” He smugly told her. “You are seriously something.” Neva smiled shaking her head. Hades just grabbed her and kissed her on her lips. His warmth against her cold made for an electric contact. Stepping back to break away, Neva looked up at him and smiled. “Hades I didn’t think you were serious.” “about finding you hot as Hell?! Neva I was DEAD serious. I come to annoy you because I like you and I’ve not felt anything since Mal's mother.” He truthfully spoke, not wasting the opportunity to throw in some underworld puns in in the process.
“I’ve always liked you too. Never did anything about it because we’re so different.” Neva admitted. “Hel-lo!! The saying “opposites attract” exists for a reason.” He told her, pulling her into an embrace. Neva froze in his embrace before relaxing, placing her hands on his chest, gripping at his torn robes under his leather coat. Truth be told, Hades annoying antics made having to live on the Isle a lot more durable. She knew she would have gone utterly insane if he didn’t bug her to no end nearly every day.
Two days passed and the Isle of the lost was just like any other day. Kids either stealing, selling, or spray painting that bit of wall that had a tiny area free of paint.
On Auradon the kids and adults alike were all gathered at the entrance. Mal with her fiancée Ben and her friends on the balcony. Fairy godmother walked over and handed Mal her wand. “Ready my dear?” She asked Mal. “Definitely!” she smiled and with a wave of the wand a few words to form a spell, she brought down the barrier between the two worlds once and for all.
The Isle felt a strong kick above the Isle and as they looked up at the sky they saw the barrier break and disappear. Lead by Uma and her crew, every VK on the Isle ran across the bridge. The core four and kids of Auradon all met them at the entrance and either bowed or courtseyed, allowing the Isle kids entry to a new better life.
Hades stood on the Isle, at the bridge holding Neva’s hand. “Ready love?” He asked looking down into her blue grey eyes. She nodded, but gulped and squeezed his hand just that bit tighter. She didn’t have a good feeling her heart. Hades stepped forward with her and made it onto the bridge but he felt a tug and Neva's hand fall from his. He span round to find her still on the Isle. “You can do it Neva!” He told her reassuringly, not knowing why she stopped.
“I can’t! The separate spell keeping me here is still up!” She told him, wide eyed and close to tears. She thumped the air and Hades saw for himself the magical barrier glow when she collided with it. “Then I’ll come back” Hades told her, stepping towards her, “Hades no. Go to your daughter.” Neva stopped him. “She needs her father at her wedding.” She continued, her hurt and anger forming in her hands. Before Hades could stop her, she blasted him over the bridge where Mal met him half way. “Dad!!” She screamed as she ran to him, helping him up to his feet.
“Im fine Mal. She did it for my own sake...” He told her, walking her back into Auradon. That’s when the winds picked up strongly out of nowhere. The sun being hidden by black thick clouds, swirling in the sky. Snow began to fall heavily on Auradon.
“Neva no...” came a voice Hades hadn’t heard before. Queen Elsa and her sister Anna walked up and spoke. Hades turned back to the sky and saw the storm get worse. “Dad look!” Mal called out pointing at the ice that spread up and round the entrance of the Isle and across the bridge. “She’s freezing the whole place” Mal gasped. “If Auradon didn’t banish her this never would have happened.” Hades remarked. “We didn’t want her banished Hades.” Elsa replied, looking up at him with disapproval in her eyes. “She knows that YOU didn’t want to, but you think that makes a difference? Auradon has given the rest of the Isle a second chance to those who want it. Yet they won’t give it to your own daughter.” Hades pointed out. “Its no wonder her powers have have taken over!” Hades continued, finding it difficult to not blame Elsa.
“It’s not my sister’s fault!” Anna chimed in. “Was there ANY positive things for her over there?” Anna asked. “Yeah...me” Hades flatly spoke. This did not make Elsa happy one bit. Anna couldn’t help but smile. “Well Elsa! They do say opposites attract!” She couldn’t help but chuckle. “Not now Anna” Elsa told her sister, walking towards Belle, Beast and the Fairy Godmother. Hades watched as quiet words were spoken between them and he squinted his eyes in a judging manner.
That was until the sounds of Mal's chattering teeth reverberated through his skull. He quickly took his coat off and wrapped it round her. “Vome on, we need to get everyone inside and warmed up. Then I’m going to make myself known in that little meeting they’re having.” Hades suggested to her, guiding Mal and the other kids inside.
Neva watched as the love of her life walked away with the people of Auradon. He did what she told him to, do why was that very image making her cry. Screaming in emotional pain, she dropped to the floor, ice shooting out all around. The Isle now falling victim to her powers. “Hades...help me...” She cried, until the last of her sorrow snapped and she slowly looked up with a smirk.
“Maybe now Auradon you’ll see what I’m capable of! I’ll have my revenge and you’ll regret EVER turning me into a monster!” she practically flat, standing up and walking up onto the balcony, creating an ice throne and spires on the frontal buildings. She stared on as her ice and snow covered Auradon in a blanket white. She watched as only a few of the adults stood on the opposite balcony wrapped in several layers and blankets staring back at her. An evil smirk crept across her face.
Elsa and Anna looked out at their precious Neva. “Hades was right. We never should have let her be banished...she’s more like I was than I realized possible.” Elsa spoke to her sister, as Anna pulled her in for a side hug and rubbed her shoulder. “They didn’t give us a choice... We’ll pull her back Elsa. I promise. I pulled you back remember?” Anna reassuringly told her sister. Elsa slowly nodded as tears fell down her cheeks.
“Your version was different. You both had each other. Even the Isle exiled her...” Hades explained to them, stepping up from behind. The two sisters looked at him. “You said she had you?” Anna queried. Hades simply closed his eyes briefly and nodded. “I was the only one who would visit her. She just stayed in the forest freezing it before I did. I got her to eat and drink. Stay healthy. Thawed parts of the forest just to gain a reaction out of her numerous times.” He explained, smirking at the end bit. He remembered even those dark days fondly.
“Thank you Hades.” Elsa simply commented. “I never thought I’d thank a villain but you kept her stable. So thank you.” Elsa thanked him again, looking him in the eyes. He just simply nodded to her in recognition. He didn’t take his eyes off the Isle and Neva. “Neva..” he breathed. Elsa and Anna quietly stood out in the cold with him, despite the fact Anna could never handle the cold after she got her heart frozen when she was an teenager.
“has the dark in me finally come to light?
Am I monster full of rage?
No where to go but on a rampage, or am I just a monster....in a cage?”
Days and days went by and the storm just grew. Auradon was growing weaker from the freeze. Her revenge was finally coming to light. Elsa never left that balcony. Numerous people tried to get her inside but she refused to lose sight of her daughter.
“I’ve been talking with Hades... He’s going to go out there and talk her down.” Anna broke the silence walking up to Elsa in the morning of day 12 of this winter. Elsa looked at Anna. “How, it didn’t stop it from happening?” Elsa questioned, confused on how it could do the slightest bit help.
“Because I love her” Hades interrupted, answering her question. “If I can’t bring her back then when I’m back I’ve agreed to let Belle and Beast to destroy the bridge...” he explained, getting a lump in his throat as he spoke those words. The last thing he wanted was her to be stranded on the Isle forever. “Then bring her home. Bring my girl home” Elsa said, turning and looking him dead in the eye. She grabbed his hands and squeezed them. “I have faith you’ll bring her back to the light.”
Hades squeezed her hands back before letting go. “Keep her safe Anna. And... Look after Mal for me.” Hades requested, to which Anna hugged him with a simple “I will. Now go get our girl” before letting go.
Hades took a deep breath before exhaling and he tightly wrapped his coat round him before fighting through the storm to get across the bridge. If his theory was right, he should be able to enter the Isle with no problem and get to Neva. Neva squinted her eyes as she saw a figure in the storm battling across the bridge. “Turn back!!” She shouted, standing up, raising her hands, ready to fight.
“NEVA! ITS ME! ITS HADES!” He bellowed through the sound of the storm whirling around him. This stopped Neva dead in her tracks. Slowly lowering her hands, she waved them in a circular motion to make his walk easier to her. Her heart may be getting harder with the power in her, but she refused to have Hades struggle in her eternal winter she created. Hades stood up shit more right now the wind let up around him, and only him. It made him stop briefly to look around. He couldn’t help but be impressed by her power. It was equally beautiful as it was frightening.
Pulling his coat tighter across his chest, he power walked over to her and looked up when he reached the bottom of the balcony. “Neva this needs to stop. People are getting seriously ill from your cold.” He told her, his voice didn’t have an ounce of fear towards her or hatred. He spoke out of admiration and love. “They deserve everything they get. They trapped me in my frozen Hell, I’ll trap them in theirs.” She coldly told him, yet Hades could see the emotion of upset in her eyes. “The Isle kids don’t. I know they were scared of you, but they were just like you. Banished to this damned place. I was sent here. A God. Yet here I am trying to continue and bring back all the hard work my daughter created.” He tried to get through to her.
His plan didn’t go how he wanted as she glared and shot a barrier of icicles Infront of him, causing Hades to jump back slightly. “Neva! Please!” Hades called to her, desperation in his voice now. Since when did he ever feel the need to beg? This was not like him. He never begged but this woman was causing him to. “They wanted me to be a monster! So I became one! They’re reaping what they’ve sowed!” She all but yelled at him.
“Just let me come up! We can sort this mess out! If you stop this winter, they’ll let you back!” Hades pleaded with her. This momentarily caught Neva off guard and he wondered if he was finally getting through to the woman he had fallen in love with. Then her reaction changed back just as quick. “Lies! You think they’d welcome me back with open arms?! They’ll lock me up the moment I cross the bridge!” She told him, convinced that’d be the only outcome. Through her yelling, she unknowingly threw her arms up and shot a ice blade right at Hades, impaling him in the side.
Hades fell to the ground in pain as he made the blade thaw and melt. “HADES!!! NO!! OH MY GOD NO!” She looked wide eyed, shaking with fear at what she had done. Clambering up rapidly, she ran down her stairs and skidded down to him, the storm seizing, but the snow staying. “No no no no.. Hades I’m so sorry! I’m do so sorry.. please.. please don’t leave me, oh god..” She looked from the wound to his face quickly, running her hands through her hair and over her face. Her hands are shaking and she didn’t know what to do. “Neva, hey...hey look at me” Hades said, shivering as he felt her ice overtaking him.
Neva looked at him, tears falling from her eyes. “Its okay...I love you. I know I’m not one to say that sappy crap but...I love you.” He had to admit it to her, even if he didn’t survive her ice. “I love you too... Tell me how to fix this. Please, I can’t lose you...” She sobbed, leaning down placing her forehead on his. “Anna said love will thaw. Said you’d know what that means” He explained. She lifted her head and wracked her brain for the meaning. “Love will...thaw...love will thaw!” she remembered what her aunt told her about how her mother used the love in her heart to thaw the winter. Hovering her hands over his wound, she closed her eyes and concentrated on the ice, she thought about drawing it upwards and as she did so, her hands raised above Hades, speckles of thawed ice raising with her. The wound began to close and as she opened her eyes and smiled and chuckled. “I did it!”
With a grunt Hades stood up with Neva’s aid. He looked down at her with love in his eyes and a smile to match. “Now...let’s do the same with this storm. I believe in you” He told her, running his hands down to grab her hands. “What if I’m not strong enough?” She asked, afraid she won’t undo all she did. “With my power you will be.” He reassured her, giving her hands a squeeze and a nod of his head towards the bridge all to say 'come on'. With a gulp and a sigh, she let go of his hands and stood in the middle of the Isle and looked out towards Auradon. She raised her hands high above her head to skies above and Hades did the same with his ember in his grasp.
They glanced at each other and with a nod they looked back to the skies and used their powers to thaw the winter. Every bit of ice and snow began to rise from the ground and buildings around them and all come together into a snowflake in the now blue skies. Just like her mother had done years before. Parting her arms away she dispersed the cold and came back the warmth to all of the Isle and Auradon. The two of them could hear cheers and screams coming from Auradon in celebration. “Told you you could do it!” Hades smirked giving her a wink causing Neva to blush.
“Neva!” She quickly looked back towards the bridge and she saw her Aunt Anna come running down the bridge. Grabbing her hand once more, Hades walked her to the bridge and stood with her. The barrier still up for her. “Aunt Anna?” She spoke. “Neva! Oh my god that was incredible!! Your mom was so proud!” Anna was gushing. She may be older but that young spunky attitude was most definitely still there.
“Where is she?” Neva questioned. “On her way. She don’t do the whole running like a reindeer thing as she calls it.” Anna told her, panting from being out of breath. Neva smiled and saw just behind Anna was indeed Elsa with the fairy godmother beside her. She tried to work out their body language but couldn’t. “Neva. You froze Hans, you brought an lasting winter stronger than anything your mother made....” Fairy Godmother began talking which made both Anna and Hades to cough to make her get to the point. “But you’ve proven yourself here today. You’ve proven that through love you can change any outcome. So, to keep my part of Auradon's deal with Elsa and Hades, I remove your barrier and welcome you back to where you belong.” She smiled, waving her wand and spouting her famous words 'bibbidi bobbidi boo!’ the barrier broke down. Hesitantly Neva stepped one foot forward, finding she could finally cross. Elsa instantly pulled Neva into her grasp. “oh Neva! I’ve dreamed about this day to hold you in my arms again!” Elsa cried.
Anna gave Hades a little fist nudge on his arm, which brought a straight disapproving bloom from him. So she quickly retracted her grin. “Mother...” was all Neva could say. Elsa pulled her back to really look at her and wiped her remaining tears from her face. She guided her back to Hades and placed their hands together. “Thank you Hades. For giving my daughter the love she so desperately needed to show her there’s more to having these powers than destruction.” Elsa complimented him.
Hades was about to respond when the cry of “DAD!!” broke the moment up and Mal came bounding down the bridge with nearly all of Auradon and the Isle behind her. Mal threw herself onto her father hugging him. “I saw everything!” she said to him, before pulling away to look at Neva. “I am SO sorry...and I’m glad you’re with my dad.” She told Neva, hugging her. Neva shocked, hugged her back after computing the action. “Thank you Mal.” She said, pulling away and looking at everyone, “thank you all.” She told them.
Belle and Beast walked through the crowds to stood in front of Neva. “Neva” they spoke formally. She looked at them both nervously. Then Belle smiled and embraced her. “Come home” she declared. Neva smiled and nodded, “I want nothing more” was all that needed to be said before Hades stepped up to hold her hand and they all went back to Auradon....together.

Solangelo Cinderella AU
I have too much free time. Now sit on down, I've got a story to tell. Once upon a time, in the Kingdom of Hades, there lived a young boy named Will Solace. He lived with his mother and father in a lovely little cottage. Will Solace was said to be the most fairest of the land, and wherever he went, the sun was always shining down on him, like he was an angel. He was one of the most handsome boys of the land, and was kind to everyone. Then, one tragic day, his mother was ran over by a wagon. She was severely injured, and even Will and his father's healing skills couldn't save her (they were both doctors). In despair, and in a very dramatic way, Will's father threw himself off a cliff, leaving little Will all alone. Will was put into foster care, and he was stuck living with a terrible woman named Hera, and her two children named Luisa and Lilly. Hera didn't like Will much, because she felt that Will was far too kind and beautiful, while her daughters weren't as much. She treated Will badly, by almost starving him, not giving him great clothes, and giving him difficult chores while the other kids were out playing. Will tried to make the best out of the situation. As the years passed, Will discovered he had a great talent for singing. He sang while he did the laundry. He sang while he washed the floors. He sang while he fed the family cat (which Will loved playing with). This made Hera more jealous. Her daughters took music lessons every Thursday, and Will hadn't had one lesson yet he was far better singers than them. Hera then forbade Will to sing. Will of course didn't stop, because it had become a habit of his. But he was very careful to not get caught. One day, while his sisters had music lessons, Will happened to be singing and washing the floors in the other room. The music teacher heard and said to Hera that Will was a wonderful singer and should study at a music school. Hera quickly lied and said that Will's singing was just the record player. Hera then scolded Will afterwards, and then as a punishment, killed the cat that Will liked because she knew Will loved to play with it. Will sobbed in his room while his sisters yelled at him to shut up and wash their clothes. The cat was Will's only friend, and he felt terrible because it was his fault it had been killed. Days and years passed. Will was twenty now, and wanted to leave Hera and her daughters. But he couldn't because he had no money, and all the possessions he had was the ragged clothes he was wearing. Meanwhile, at the castle, a young prince named Nico and his two sisters stood in the throne room, discussing a matter with their father, the king. "But I don't want to marry!" Nico shouted to King Hades. "I'd rather stay single!" "You are to rule my kingdom when I'm gone with a queen by your side and that is why we are going to have a ball!" He shouted back. "I don't want to get married either!" Nico's sister, Bianca exclaimed. "All of my children will get married!" Lord Hades said. "Jeez, you guys are all giving me a headache! We're having a ball and that's final!" "I personally think a ball wouldn't be so bad." Hazel, the youngest and the shyest of the three said. "I mean, we get to meet new people!" "Exactly." Hades said. "I know you two," he pointed to Bianca and Nico, "don't like chatting with people much, and neither do I, but sometimes you got to do some things you don't like." Nico huffed angrily and stormed out of the room. Hades' dark eyes burned with anger, but he let him go. "I want you two young ladies to find a man during the ball, otherwise I'll find one for you!" Hades shouted and left. "I don't need no man." Bianca said angrily under her breath and then left. Hazel rolled her eyes and walked back to her room. And so a letter was sent out to every house in the kingdom. It read that there would be a ball held so that prince Nico di Angelo and princesses Hazel and Bianca would be choosing who they would be marrying at the ball. Will of course wanted to go, not because he wanted to marry a prince or princess, but because he wanted to get out of the house and meet new people. Sadly, Hera would not allow Will to come. She knew that it was likely for one of the princesses were bound to fall in love with Will's good looks. She told Will to clean the entire house and then he could go to the ball. But Hera's two daughters trashed the house completely and by the time the ball was going to start, the house wasn't even half way clean. Hera and her daughters wore ugly peacock colored dresses and said goodbye to Will. Will sat there in defeat. He was certain that in no way he would be able to finish cleaning and still have time to go to the ball. Suddenly, there was a poof and a girl appeared. She wore a tank-top and shorts, and had color changing eyes, and choppy brown hair, with braids in it. She smiled down on Will. "W-who are you?" Will asked. "Piper McLean." She smiled brightly. "I'm your fairy godmother." There was another poof and another person appeared. He was wearing a purple t-shirt and jeans. He was tall with blonde hair and electric blue eyes. "And I'm Jason." The boy said. "Your fairy godfather. Let operation Solangelo commence!" "What is that?" Will asked, quite confused about all of this. "Nothing!" Piper said quickly. "Now, you need a makeover if your going to be going to that ball." She smiled. "I'm gonna go to the ball?" Will said, excited. "Yup!" Jason said. "We'll even clean the house for you, now...Piper do your magic." Piper studied Will. "I'll be able to do a temporary makeover. It should last a couple of hours, at least till midnight." She snapped her fingers and Will's ragged clothing transformed into a beautiful yellow medieval dress coat and light brown pants. His blonde curly hair became clean and combed, and his blue eyes seemed to sparkle. On his feet were the most wonderful shoes ever. They were shiny and black, and extremely comfortable. They didn't really look like boy's shoes, but not necessarily girl's shoes either. "Oh thank you!" Will exclaimed and hugged Piper. "But how am I supposed to get there?" "Leave that to me." Jason smiled. "I can control the winds to take you there, and fast. If you need to get home," Jason pulled out a blue amulet, "hold this and say you want to go home. But you can only use it once." "Okay." Will said and put the amulet in his pocket. "I just want to say, thank you for all of this. I don't even know you that well and you are being so kind." "You deserve to have some fun." Piper replied sweetly. "You deserve to have some experience in kissing." Jason smirked. "Go out there and have fun tonight, and you better make Solangelo happen." "Um...okay." Will said shyly. He and Jason then stepped outside. "I'll make the winds take you to the ball." Jason said. "Oh, and invite me to the wedding." He winked. Before Will could ask anymore questions, the winds whisked him away to the castle. Jason then snapped his fingers and a boy with elfish features and curly black hair appeared. In his hand was a muffin that he was eating. "Jason!" He shouted angrily. "I was enjoying something!" He waved the muffin in Jason's face. "Yeah sorry Leo, but we need your help cleaning this house." Jason said. Leo sighed and then stuffed the rest of the muffin in his mouth. "Why?" "Mission Solangelo has begun. Will is heading to the ball now." Leo sighed and pulled cleaning supplies out from his magic tool belt. "Is this what you and Piper do in your free time?" And the two boys headed inside. ~~~ Meanwhile, at the ball, young ladies and gentlemen arrived in hopes of the princesses or prince would want to marry them. Hades sat on his throne beside the queen, Persephone. Hazel wore beautiful golden slippers and a purple dress. Her curly hair was tied back in a ponytail and she had a golden tiara on her head. Right away, she had attracted a few gentlemen, but she had been especially interested in a Chinese Canadian man who looked gentle yet strong. They were dancing rather awkwardly, since the man was a bit clumsy, but they couldn't take their eyes off of each other. Bianca wore an emerald green tiara and a black dress that went to her knees. She scared ever boy off who tried to dance with her by giving them a death stare. She was chatting happily with a young woman though, who wore a silver tiara and dress. She was the queen of the hunt, Artemis, and was offering Bianca a chance to never marry and join her hunt group. Nico was having the worse time. He wore a simple silver crown and a black jacket and pants, and the girls were chasing him. They shouted, "Marry me prince Nico!" As they chased him. Nico was running for his life, trying to get away from the fan girls. Will finally showed up at the ball, and when he walked in, all eyes were on him. He didn't look like a poor young man who worked hard everyday, but like a wonderful Prince Charming. Will smiled at everyone, and Hera's daughters glared. They couldn't quite recognize Will, but he seemed strangely familiar. Hera, meanwhile, was chatting with King Hades. Will got some refreshments and chatted with some nearby people. Will hummed a tune as he watched the other people dance. This was the best night ever! "Psst." Will heard someone say from the shadows. He turned around to see a boy with pale skin and black hair. He was hiding in the shadows, and since his clothing was black, it was sort of hard to see him. "The fan girls are coming." The boy told Will. "If they ask where I am, tell them I'm not here." Will nodded. Soon enough, the fan girls came. "Hey, have you seen Prince Nico?" One of the girls asked. "Uh, he went that away." Will said awkwardly. He didn't know the boy who was hiding in the shadows was the prince. "Thanks!" Some of the girls said. One of the girls blew a kiss to Will. Will stood there awkwardly. Maybe they thought Will looked nice. "The coast is clear." Will finally whispered to Prince Nico. "Thanks." Nico said and stepped out of the shadows. Nico's crown was lopsided. Suddenly, Nico was staring at Will. "Oh no, he's hot." Nico thought. "Oh no, he's adorable." Will thought. Both of them were blushing. Will turned to walk away. "Um, see you around, and uh, nice party." Will said quickly. Nico then grabbed Will's arm to keep him from walking away. "Uh, I just wanted to ask..." Nico said nervously. "Would you like to dance? I mean I understand if you don't want to, you're probably not gay..." "It's fine." Will smiled. "I'm gay too." Nico smiled brightly. Nico took Will to a room next to the ballroom, but they could still hear the music and not get found by the fan girls. Will hummed as they danced and Nico couldn't have been happier. Maybe the ball wasn't too bad after all. "Hey, I never caught your name." Nico said. "Surely I must know who you are, so we can, you know meet again some time soon." Nico blushed. Will smiled. "I'd love to meet up with you soon too. My name is W—" But at that moment, the clock was striking midnight. The clock bells echoed in Will's ears. Midnight was when the spell was going to wear off. "I-I'm sorry, I've got to go!" Will said. Surely Nico wouldn't like Will anymore if he saw Will in his ragged clothing. "Wait!" Nico shouted, but Will ran. He pulled the amulet out of his pocket. He needed to get outside before the clock struck twelve times. As he got to the palace steps, he tripped and fell. One of Will's beautiful black shoes fell off. Will could see Several people looking his way, along with a sad Nico, who had come to see where Will was going. Will stood up and kept running, he heard the clock strike eleven times and he shouted with his amulet in hand, "Take me home!" The winds whisked him away, as the party guests and Prince Nico stood there. Nico walked down the steps and picked up Will's shoe. Nico sighed. He had thought he had met someone special tonight. Someone who might have actually liked him. But alas, his love was whisked away by the wind. ~~~ Will arrived home. His clothes had already changed back to his ragged clothing. For some reason, his other nice shoe didn't. When he got inside the house, no one was there, but the house was sparkling clean. There were even some upgrades, like a chandelier and a new couch. On the table was a note and a box of donuts. "Hey, sorry that you didn't get to stay longer at the ball." The note read. "Piper needs to work on her makeover magic more. But don't worry! We'll sort it all out! Signed, Piper, Jason and Leo, your fairy godmother and godfathers. P.S. In the meantime, enjoy your donuts!" Will couldn't help smiling. He went to the attic (where he slept) and ate some donuts. Then he hid the donut box and his special shoe under his bed, and then went to sleep. All he could dream about was the adorable Prince Nico though. Meanwhile, at the castle, after everyone had gone home, Nico presented the shoe that fell off of Will's foot. "I met this man at the ball." Nico said. "He had to leave, but he left his shoe." Hades sat there, annoyed. Only one of his children had managed to find someone good enough to marry. Hazel would be marrying a young prince who had traveled from far to come to the ball, a man named Frank Zhang. "A man?" Hades asked. "That shoe looks like a girl's shoe!" "It seems like a boy's shoe to me." Bianca shrugged. "You be quiet!" Hades shouted at Bianca. He was angry because Bianca had made a deal with Artemis. After Hazel's wedding, Bianca would go and join the huntresses, turning her back on all men. She couldn't break the deal now that she had made it, otherwise she would die. Bianca felt very smug about this, for her father couldn't go against the ancient laws. "It was a boy, I swear!" Nico said. "What was his name then?" Hades shot back. "I—" Nico shook his head sadly. "I don't know. He left before I could ask." "There you have it." Hades said looking pleased. "Since you haven't managed to find your own wife, I will choose for you then. Perhaps princess Reyna of the kingdom of New Rome?" "But—" Nico started, but then he came up with an idea. "Whoever this shoe fits," he said determined, holding up the shoe, "is who I will marry." Hades thought for a moment. "Fine. But we better find them by tomorrow." And so the kingdom was informed that whoever the shoe fit would marry Prince Nico. Every lady was excited, though Nico said that even boys should be allowed to try on the shoe. Jason, of course, didn't want anyone to get in the way of his ship. He put a spell on the shoe, to make sure it would fit only Will. Hera ordered Will to make sure everything was polished and clean so the Prince would be impressed when he came with the shoe. Hera's daughters were excited, and got on their best dresses. When Prince Nico arrived, Will was sent to the attic. Will, decided that he was going to storm down there and tell the prince it was he who danced with him, even if he was wearing different clothing. But Hera soon realized this when Will took out his other shoe. Hera then tied Will up in his room and took away Will's shoe. Will tried to scream, but Hera gagged him too. Hera's daughters weren't having luck with the shoe. It was either too big or too small. Nico was about to leave, quite disappointed. He didn't need a shoe to find who danced with him, but that seemed to be the only option. Hera then took out Will's shoe. "Oh, but your highness, it was one of them who danced with you! Here is the other shoe!" Nico narrowed his eyes. "Do you think I am stupid! I remember what my true love looked like! He definitely wasn't one of your daughters. But since you have the shoe..." Nico took out his black sword, "You must have my lover. Where is he?" "Right here." Will said as he walked down the steps, Hera stood there with her mouth hanging open. Standing next to Will was Jason, Piper (who was holding scissors) and Leo (who wore sunglasses and was sipping from a soda can with a straw). "Prince Nico di Angelo of the kingdom of Hades, I present to you Will Solace, the man who danced with you at the ball." Piper announced. "Hera tied him up in the attic so he couldn't try on the shoe." Jason said. "And we freed Will because we are his fairy godparents." Leo said as he sipped from his soda. "Blah blah blah, happy ending, marriage, and babies blah." Leo took another sip of soda. "Okay then." Nico said. "Guards, throw Mistress Hera into the dungeons to rot, and put her daughters there too unless they want to join the maids and work in the palace." The guards seized Hera and then her daughters. Will and Nico stared at each other. "You do actually look like the one I danced with." Nico remarked. "Just without the fancy clothing." "We gave him a makeover." Piper said. "He wanted to go, so we gave him nice clothing and everything." "The clothing would turn back to normal at midnight." Will looked at the ground. "I thought if I wasn't in nice clothing, you wouldn't like me." Nico blinked. "Of course I would still like you! You're still beautiful either way." Will smiled. Then Nico insisted that Will put on the shoes, just to prove it. Will sat down and Nico put the shoes on Will's feet. Of course they fit perfectly. Hades didn't seem to care that his son was gay. He just told Nico that he wished he would have came out sooner. The wedding was marvelous, Nico married Will while Hazel married Frank and Bianca got to stay single forever. Jason, Piper and a little bit of Leo, cheered the loudest at the wedding. After all, their OTP had just become canon.
