Explanation: Well, someone can't really make heads or tails of what I've written, so I decided to explain. The characters of the prologue is Athena, goddess of wisdom and war, and Aphrodite, goddess of love. I am not going to have the goddesses "tell" the story, but by inserting some snatches of conversation in between. They do not interfere much, just that they set the works so that the characters can meet again. The characters have to take the initiative. Does that explain it?
By the way, the . is Athena. You will understand if you read on.

Prologue
Aphrodite's POV
Does Destiny works in strange ways? Well, I think not. because I'm the one controlling part of it.
For me, after a few millennia of watching the different people "falling in love" with each other, it get kinda old for awhile. Don't you think so?
It's just the same story over and over again, just watching different people doing the same thing. It is like watching a movie over and over again. Oh well.. look here again, another couple.. UGH! I hate my job, getting couples to fall in love. Why can't Zeus just let us change our duties once in a while? I would love to shoot arrows at couples instead of planning how to get them together, or play harps, rule the underworld or just do SOMETHING!
You did do that sometimes, sister. Remember when you helped..
Yes, I did do that... oh well, I should be content.
Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Aphrodite, the goddess of love. I had a great life but a boring job, though my sisters frequently helped me, like those famous couples, Romeo and Juliet, Buffy and Angel, Satine and Christian. And yes, they are all real people and their love were fruits of my sisters' hard labour.
Aphrodite...
Okay, okay... I'm getting onto it! You know, that's my big-perfect-bossy- goddess of wisdom and war sister, Athena. She was always so hardworking and making me work like a mule.
Aphrodite! Get on with it!
Fine fine! Hey, look the next couple on the scroll. Hmm..
Lorelai 'Rory' Leigh Gilmore and Tristan DuGrey. Nice names... ohhh, that boy looks cute! I gotta...
Aphrodite! Do NOT make a mess out of this! And no going after that boy!
What? Why not? I just want to have some fun!
Quit whining. You're already 5469 years old. Father will kill you for messing with the fates of these people. We can play with them, not change what things are supposed to be going! And I'll get in trouble because I'm responsible for you! Geez, can't you have more sense?
And what? Be like you?
Hey! I can have fun! Here, give me that couple. I'll do them. You get the next couple.
Fine! Give you the salty goodness while I could get an old couple next!
That's your problem. I'm just trying to get you out of trouble. Father will explode if he knows you gone after another guy...
Because that is the only benefit to my job. You get to do lots of things.
... that makes me busy till I'm dizzy.
Well, at least you're not bored.
True.
While all I do is to think of ways to matchmake the two people.
When all you do is to make them fall in love after they met. No wonder the people on Earth kept going about this love at first sight.
Which is true only that...
Can you get back to your list while I create some new ways to make Rory and Tristan fall in love with each other?
Of course. Let's see... Lorelai Gilmore and Luke Danes. Are they the same? Oh no, the older one.. ohhhh. She's a little like me. Mad. I like this girl...
Oh yea, by the way, I told you I'll get an old couple!
It's your fault!

Athena's POV
To tell you the truth, I like working on couples. It's nice and satisfying, especially when they reunited. Aphrodite is right, the guy IS a hottie... and the girl looks a little like me. She kinda reminds me of me, I guess. She was stubborn (like me), hardworking (again, like me) and she's like me. That's silly, I know. But I love to do that
I stare at the two people on the scroll and their profiles. Wow, completely different people.. and they are expected to fall in love? If it goes by Aphrodite's way, it will seems weird that these two actually will fall in love. Wait a minute, this guy does not look as arrogant and big-headed as he seems.. Hmm... good place to start.
I don't intend to let them become a couple by Aphro's stupid way, she always did it that idiotic way, get Eros and shoot a couple of arrows and viola, a COUPLE!
Well, sorry dearies, you have some hard times ahead.. but I know you two can do it.. just like Buffy and Angel.
I stare at my favourite couple lovingly. Those two still have a little more to go and they were fine so far... I winced. There were so unwelcome 'attractions'.
I turn back to my current couple and smiled.
Well, Rory Gilmore and Tristan DuGrey, get ready for the ride of your life... ... And don't curse me for being so hard on you.

Aphrodite's POV
I stare at my sister, my eyes almost popping out of my face and my tongue rolling out of my mouth like the Mask. (WHAT? You think that Gods and Goddesses are old fashioned. We watch movies and TV too, and some are really lousy.. I am going to refrain from naming them.)
But my sister is totally out of her mind. SHE is skipping across the hallway which is supposed to be my trademark as higher beings are supposed to walk elegantly and gracefully. She only looks like that when... I quickly looked into the misty water mirror (like Galadriel's. Tolkien must have stolen that idea from me.) and saw those two. They are.. quarreling? Hey, that's not my job. Athena!
What?
Why are they quarreling? If Father checks on my work and sees that they are arguing, he will punish me!
It's just fun. Athena reassured me with a grin.
So what did you plan for them?
Well... They meet. He does some taunting and teasing to make her angry. They argues all the time. She fell in love with another guy. He moves away. They meet again after years. They have problems. Problems solved. They married with a happily ever after.
Wow. Can you help me do all my couples?
No. I know you're having fun with her mother and that Luke guy.
They are special. I like that woman. She's cool.
Because she reminds you of you.
HEY! How did you know that?
I'm your sister. Look, the guy is leaving. Well, that's sad.
Oh, he never gave her a goodbye kiss...
Her possessive boyfriend is watching, of course they can't kiss..
Still, it's stupid. He should do it just to spite that boyfriend.
That's bad. Oh well, let's wait for another few days before doing anything.
Whatever you say...
