"I was not che—"started Percy. He and his girlfriend were arguing again. Annabeth was accusing him of cheating again. She interrupted him.

"Yes you were. Now get the hell out of my house."

"Why did you interrupt me? I wasn't finished talking." He yelled.

"Yes you are. And so are we." She responded.


Aphrodite giggled. Percy and Annabeth were so fun to mess with. Now her favorite part.

She was currently watching the TV she used to watch her favorite couples with. Ares sat next to her, rolling his eyes. She glared at his disinterest in the romantic comedy that was Percy and Annabeth. She turned back to the screen.


Percy tried another tactic. He would never cheat on her. He didn't know why she would think that. Actually, she seemed to think that a lot lately. He softened his voice.

She sounded so sad and sympathetic as she said this, Ares almost laughed at her misery.

"Oh, the horror," Ares said sarcastically. And with that he stuck out his tongue again. She glared.

"Do that again and I'll send you straight to Tartarus, you moron"

"I had something else in mind for our date together."

He looked at her bed as a hint. She giggled. She liked where this was going. He smiled. He knew how to make her stop being angry.

They walked over to the bed and…
