This is my first Xena fanfiction story. The characters associated with the tv programme Xena: Warrior Princess belong to USA, Renaissance, Ren Pic, and I used them here with no regard to earn money. This is just a story to entertain others and myself. I would like to thank TPTB for this wonderful show, it is the best of all.
Violence: A bit of graphic violence, but no more than the show.
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: An ambiguous reference to the episode Motherhood
Sex: None

Gabrielle crawled across Eve; she neared Xena. Aphrodite looked on and grinned.
Gabs tapped Xena on the chest,
Xena jumped awake and Gab whacked her across the head with one of her sais.
Whomp!
She fell back, her head cracked like a ripe melon.
Eve jumped up and screamed: "Gabri...elle! What are…"
Whack! Eve got the other sai across the head.
"For you Evie, just wike mommy," Gabrielle sneered and stood up. She looked at the two of them lying side by side and an evil grin of satisfaction crossed her lips.
After a few minutes of pure enjoyment, she sighed contentedly. "Okay Dite, do your stuff."
Aphrodite placed her hands on the heads of Xena and her daughter. A luminescent blue light flowed around them, cleared the blood, knitted their skulls and healed them.
Xena opened her eyes and blinked. Eve did the same.
Aphrodite and Gabs high fived, and then the bard looked at Xena, "You didn't think that lame apology was enough did you?"
Xena shook her head and checked out Eve. Turning to her soul mate, Xena gave the bard a feral grin. "I'm impressed."
"I learned from the best," Gabrielle replied.
"Uh huh," Xena agreed. "Now let's get outta here and go home."
After they had traveled a good distance, Xena told Gab and Eve she was going to the woods. When she was completely alone, she called Aphrodite's name. The goddess of love appeared. "Thank you. I wasn't sure she'd go through with it."
"Oh Xe, she didn't hesitate when she knew I'd bring you back," Aphrodite chuckled.
"We can go on now," Xena said and extended her arm. "I owe you one."
"Anything for love," the goddess said and took Xena's hand.
