A/N: Hello everyone, welcome to my next Kid Icarus story. Just wanted to pop a little note up here to let readers know I plan to post a new story or chapter of an in progress story every weekend (Saturday or Sunday) in hopes of having more time to write and more time to get reactions and reviews on my current/past work (gotta know where I can improve and what works). So anyway, this notes getting long, so how about I shut up and let you enjoy (hopefully).

It was a very calm day in Skyworld, no action, no events, barely a single angel in the sky. It was just a perfect day to be lazy in the eyes of Pit and Viridi while they were hanging out at Palutena's temple.

The young couple were both on a couch in the TV room simply resting; Viridi laying normally across the couch, and Pit was sprawled over the top of the couch, his feet swaying off the back as his head just barely cushioned itself on the actual seat cushions.

Neither two were talking nor moving, simply enjoying the downtime and each others company, pure bliss.

Well, it would've been pure bliss if not for a certain Goddess of Light bursting through the door.

"Pit! Pit!" She yelled in a sing-song voice, causing both the young angel and Goddess of Nature to jump in terror; Viridi rolling off the couch onto the floor and Pit practically diving face first on the wall on the opposite side of the room.

"Ah! There you are, Pit; with your fellow lovebird, I see."

"Palutena!" A red-faced Viridi screamed at the taller Goddess as she quickly got to her feet and right in the face (as best as she could) of the green haired woman. "How dare you disturb our rest?"

"Yeah, Lady Palutena. What gives?" Pit said much calmer, rubbing his now aching neck on the floor.

"I've been looking for you, Pit. I need your help with a very important job today." Palutena said smiling innocently.

"With what?" The angel asked in response as he stood up. "There's nothing going on today, thought it be a good time to take it easy."

"That is exactly the problem." Palutena said, her innocent smile turning into a devious grin; causing Pit and Viridi to flush in fear, both wondering what she has planned.

"Well your my angel commander, correct? The hero I call to whenever evil shows it's ugly, horrible face." Palutena stated dramatically as if on stage.

"Get to the point, please." Viridi grumbled.

Palutena smirked at the little Goddess who was crossing her arms before turning to Pit. "I need to make sure you don't get to lazy and tired on me during the day so…"

Pit's brain suddenly clicked with what The Goddess of Light wanted, and he didn't like it. "No." He suddenly gasped.

"I need you…" Palutena sneered.

"No!" Pit repeated, much louder.

"To complete this LIST OF CHORES!" Palutena yelled happily, pulling out a rolled up piece of paper.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Pit screeched as he fell to his knees. "Lady Palutena, come on; why can't I have one day off?"

"Pit, you have a lot of days off, if anything, you have it pretty good with me." Palutena said in an oddly motherly tone as she walked to Pit and stood him up. "It's only fair that you help around the smaller things at the temple sometimes."

"But, But….I-" Pit mumbled trying desperately to find an excuse out of this, when he suddenly heard a small set of giggles come from Viridi.

"Oh come on, Pit, you heard Palutena; it's only fair that you play cleaning lady every once in a while, might as well have fun with it, haha!" She said smirking at the completely flushed angel giggling even more, unaware of the mischievous stare Palutena was giving the blonde.

"Well Viridi, I was actually thinking since you're here too and clearly have nothing else to do, I thought you could help Pit out with these." She said with the biggest evil grin on her face.

This horrible idea cut off Viridi's laughter and caused her to shift into a more than serious and angered tone. "You're joking right? I am The Goddess of Nature! I don't do chores, especially not for you, Palutena."

Now Palutena looked at them both cheekily. "What if neither of you have a choice?" She whispered before waving her staff by the both of them, causing spheres to form around both Pit and Viridi casting a small blue glow before fading away.

"What was that, Lady Palutena?" Pit asked, very scared of the answer.

"They…are magic barriers. I placed them around you both to not only keep from leaving the temple in anyway, but also to make sure you both only use conventional means to complete my list. " The Goddess of Light put her hands on her hips and lifted her head up in a huff of victory while Pit and Viridi's jaws were on the floor over this…almost complete abuse and just mean tactic.

"Now get busy you two, call if you need directions to the nearest supply closet." Palutena said giggling and warping away.

"Pit." Viridi spoke up after a solid minute of the two recovering from shock.

"Huh?" Pit asked fearful of her reaction.

"I HATE your boss right now." She grumbled.

The two then sighed in unison. "There's no point in complaining now I guess, we're stuck in this so let's get started." Pit reached for the list. "Doesn't even look that long." The angel continued unrolling the paper a little, then a little more, then a lot more, until the nearly twelve foot long list was completely unraveled. The angel and goddess could only sigh again, much deeper this time; Palutena was just torturing them now.

A/N: Gotta love Palutena and her ability to ruin a peaceful day, right? Well, at least she ain't cooking veggies (hopefully you get that reference haha). Chapter Two coming next weekend!
