AN: This is a series of oneshots about the gods doing good deeds. I really don't like how most of the gods are portrayed to be horrible and mean. I thought it would be good to show that they weren't mean and nasty.

Disclaimer: I don't own most of the characters below.

Athena

" So, Emily, do you get it now? " inquired Annabeth.
Emily shook her head, sending her dark curls askew. " No, I'm sorry. Can you explain it again? " Emily sighed.
Annabeth nodded. " Okay. First, you have to remember PEMDAS. Parentheses, exponents, multiplication- " Annabeth droned one the rest of the rules and steps to finishing an equation, a hint of impatience in her voice.
Athena could understand her annoyance. Annabeth had been teaching Emily how to that equation for about fifteen minutes. This simple problem would have taken Athena about two seconds to do, but Emily still hadn't got the correct answer. It was a shame, really. Athena could tell that Emily worked very hard on trying to get it right.
After about another hour, Emily finally got the problem right. But it had been a long hour. Emily had cried once, and Annabeth had snapped at Emily three times. But when Emily got the problem right the smile on her face couldn't have been any brighter. After they got over that problem it was already Emily's bedtime so Annabeth had to leave. They had only gotten through one problem in an hour and fifteen minutes.
Athena watched Emily even after Annabeth had left. Emily had gone to bed, but after she heard her mom's door close, she had taken out a flashlight and textbook from under her pillow and studied using the light from the flashlight. After an hour of studying, Emily had pulled out a diary and had recorded her feelings in it. Athena read what Emily was writing. Emily had written about how she studied for four hours everyday, how she was diagnosed with many learning disorders, how this affected her life, how hard she wanted to learn and get over the disorders, and how kids bullied her for being at the bottom of the class and getting bad grades.
After Athena had finished reading, she closed the image. She had been watching Annabeth, her favorite daughter, and making sure she had not been hanging out with the sea spawn, Percy Jackson. But now she had almost forgotten she was supposed to be watching Annabeth. She was so preoccupied with Emily, the poor girl. If only there was a way to help her. Athena mentally face palmed herself. For goddess of wisdom, she sure was being dumb right now. Of course there was a way.

Athena had watched over Emily for a long time, just to make sure she wasn't lying about working so hard. She wasn't. Athena had been watching her like she was her own flesh and ichor. Athena had seen how hard Emily worked and how much she endured. Athena thought for all the hard work she had put in that she would have to be rewarded. Athena adjusted her shirt and knocked on the door.
Almost immediately the door opened. Emily's mom looked up at Athena. " Hello. " she said cautiously.
" Hello, I'm Annabeth's mom. Sorry to barge in, but Annabeth forgot her cellphone at home and I have some very important news to tell her. " Athena lied easily.
Emily's mom opened the door wider. " Its okay. " she said " Come in. Annabeth is in the living room. "
Athena smiled and walked in. Emily's mom led her to the brightly lit living room. Annabeth finished explaining whatever she was explaining and looked up. Annabeth widen her eyes and looked startled.
" Mother? " she asked, shocked.
" Yes, Annabeth. I have some important news to tell you. " said Athena.
Annabeth stood up and Athena walked over to the other side of the room.
Annabeth followed.
" Mom? What are you doing here? Is something wrong? " asked Annabeth.
" Nothing is wrong. Im here to help Emily. " replied Athena coolly.
" Why? " questioned Annabeth, looking surprised.
" I was watching you tutor Emily. She works very hard but her work doesn't pay off. I think it should. " with that, Athena plucked a hair from the top of her head.
She handed it to Annabeth, who looked bewildered.
" Plant this on Emily's head. It contains my blessing, which will obviously make her wise and intelligent. " went on Athena.
" You mean blessings from gods have to be something from their body? " inquired Annabeth.
" Yeah. All demigods have the blessing of their godly parent because the god's ichor is in their blood. " explained Athena.
Annabeth nodded and hurried away to Emily. Athena walked out of the living room and out the door. As she closed the door behind her, she heard an excited childish voice.
" I get it now! " it squealed.
Athena smiled and closed the door.

Athena was sitting on a bench in Olympus, reading a book about weaving. It had been a week since she had helped Emily, and she still felt good about it. She hadn't checked up on her, though, because Emily was probably happy and okay. Athena was turning a page when an annoying voice interrupted her.
" Athena! " it called.
Athena looked up. The annoying voice had come from that annoying god of the sun and poetry, Apollo.
" What do you what, Apollo? " asked Athena, picking lint off her shirt.
Apollo flashed his pearly whites. " Thanks for helping Emily. " he said.
" You know Emily? " Athena raised an eyebrow.
" She's my daughter. "
" I knew that. " said Athena.
" No you didn't. If you had known Emily was my daughter you wouldn't have helped her. "
" I most certainly did know that she was your daughter. " Athena scowled.
" No you didn't. Finally the high and mighty goddess Athena does not know something. " insisted Apollo triumphantly.
" Shut up before I shave your head and glue the hair to your nipples. " said Athena coldly.
" I think ill pass. But still, thank you. " said Apollo, quickly trotting off to Hades knows were.
But before he turned a corner, Apollo flicked his hand in Athena's direction. An image appeared in front of her. Emily was in class, raising her hand. She gave the correct answer, then everyone applauded her. The image faded then another one appeared. A test was being put on Emily's desk. A big A+ was written in the corner of the page.
While the image faded, a small smile formed on Athena's face.
