Underworld 7:00 am
"Lachesis! Don't forget my rubber float."
"I've got it! It's mine now!" screeched Lachesis
"No it's mine!" screamed Clotho angrily
The two sisters started to play a very violent variation of tug-of-war with the poor rubber float.
"Stop it you two! Give the float to me, it is mine you lumbering fools." commanded their eldest sister Atropos.
Glaring at each other they slowly backed off and Clotho reluctantly handed the rather stretched rubber over to Atropos's gnarly, withered hands.
Atropos smiled triumphantly, she was the most feared Fate, the one who held the abhorred shears. Even her fellow fates-sisters were terrified of her, the gods themselves despite her! There was only one person she feared. After glaring at her sisters, Lachesis and Clotho, she went back to sorting out her items for packing. As she was sorting out her things Lachesis and Clotho began fighting again.
They violently scratched, bit, kung fu-punched, karate-kicked, judo-flipped, screeched, butt slammed, head banged, gouged, poked, strangled, and spat like camels at each other. Atropos,who was quite deaf, didn't seem to notice the huge commotion going on and continued minding her own self.
Hades' throne room 8:00 am
"Nooo! Arghhh! This is so frustrating. Impossible!" Hades blabbled.
"You can't be leaving for a holiday! I'll increase your pay by double, no no no, I'll triple it. Wait, I'll increase it by a hundred folds! Just don't leave!" begged Hades
Atropos shook her balding head, "We've made up our minds. Besides, its only for one day."
"But you can't leave! There are 314 people scheduled to die today!"
Atropos pondered for a moment and snapped her fingers, "Ah-hah!"
A piece of paper appeared in her left hand while a pen in her right. After scribbling furiously on the piece of paper she handed it over to Hades.
It read:
Ask demigods to take over our places for a day. At each hour change demigods.
Sincerely, Fates.
Hades fainted on the spot and had to be dragged away by two skeleton guards.
"Well, sisters let us get going."
Atropos exited the throne room in a orange top and a white sunhat while Clotho was dressed in pink bermuda shorts and a pair of yellow tinted sunglasses. Lachesis was even more ridicules than the both of them, she wore black bikinis, a green tinted pair of sunglasses and tied what ever hair she had left into two pig tails.
