Chapter 1: Don't Tell Aphrodite
Athena's POV
I woke up, got dressed, and went down to the viewing room to meet with the other Goddesses who spied on Annabeth and Percy's love lives (or should I say life in general).
As soon as I got to the viewing room, I saw every single Goddess on Mount Olympus (including Hera and Persephone) staring at the viewing screen like it was their life line, and I swear, they looked just like zombies.
"BOO!" I said. They all screamed and jumped from their seats, then scowled when they saw it was me. That never gets old.
"Hi Athena." Aphrodite said with slight excitement, slight annoyance. The rest of the Goddesses just nodded.
"Hi Aphrodite. Hi zombies." I smirked, and they all gave me dirty looks. Then I noticed what Annabeth and Percy were doing on the screen.
"APHRODITE! TURN THAT OFF. DON'T YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S WHY THEY DON'T TRUST US?!" I screamed at her. They don't need to watch two sixteen year-olds when their doing that. Especially since one of them is my daughter, and the other one is Poseidon's son.
"Oh come on, It's not any different than when you spy on them." She replied.
"I don't watch them during private moments like these, you cougar." I said. She smiled at that last part and said, "Seriously, cougar?"
"What else do you call a bunch of old women watching two sixteen year-olds do that?" I said and pointed at the screen. Aphrodite looked at the screen again.
"Quit watching!" I said.
"You pointed at the screen." She said.
"Shut up!" I said.
"We'll start watching later when there's more clothing on them, ladies." Aphrodite addressed them. They all groaned in annoyance. Aphrodite picked up the remote and changed the channel so that they were looking at Frederick Chase instead.
"Aphrodite, WHY do you have a monitor on Annabeth's father, a.k.a. my ex-boyfriend?" I asked.
"Oops." She said and changed it again so that it showed Zeus and some drunken woman.
"That Bastard." Hera said and stormed out.
We all giggled. And then, "SHOW ME HADES!" Persephone and Demeter screamed.
Aphrodite changed the channel so it showed Hades. He and Nico were giving Zoe Nightshade the official tour of the Underworld. (I will explain that simply by saying Nico found Zoe in Elysium when she died, and they fell in love.) Persephone and Demeter sighed in relief.
"Show me Poseidon." I said. Everyone gave me a funny look. Oops.
"What I'm just curious as to whether or not he's being as stupid as Zeus now that the Big Prophecy has passed." I said with a tinge of nervousness that only Aphrodite recognized. She didn't say anything though, just changed the channel to where we could see Poseidon.
Poseidon was reading a book that upon further examination, seemed to be a self-help book about love.
I furrowed my brow, and the other Goddesses got questioning looks on their faces.
"I wonder who he loves?" Hestia said.
"Probably me." Khione said. She's a vain little whore. No, I didn't say that, I have no idea what you could possibly be referring to.
"He's not in love with you, Khione." Aphrodite said.
"How do you know?" Khione spat out.
"Because he's been in love with the same woman since before you were even born. And I don't mean Amphitrite." Aphrodite said.
My heart sunk. Who did he love?
"Who?" I asked Aphrodite.
"He made me swear not to tell. It's not on the river Styx, but it's damn serious." She said.
Aphrodite sent me a mind message saying, I'll tell you later. I replied Okay.
If she knows that about Poseidon, I wonder what she knows about me?
Note to self: Give Annabeth and Percy something to block them from the Gods' view, and Don't Tell Aphrodite.
