Note: This is during the episode where Xena and Gabrielle turn Ares into a farmer to conceal his identity. And, Ares found someone's dog and named it Horse, for those of you who have not seen the episode.  This is after Ares becomes mortal.

Love Potion # Xena (chapter 1)

Speaking to his dog.

Ares: "Don't you look at me in that tone of voice!…  Hey, what did I ever do to you?!"  The dog doesn't listen to Ares and continues to lick his face.

Xena and Gabrielle wonder in from outside.

Xena: "Looks like someone is getting a little too friendly with their pet."

Gabrielle: "Why do you even keep that dog if you don't enjoy its company.  Let Xena and I take it on our adventures."

Xena: "Gabrielle, you know we can't have the burden of a dog.  I worry too much without having to worry about where the dog disappeared to. "

Ares: "I agree with Xena.  Plus, you are not taking away my dog! I am just starting to get along with it.  We are starting to bond."

Gabrielle: "This from the ex-God of War."  Gabrielle starts giggling.

Xena:  "Yeah, I remember when you would have killed that dog in an instant if it was bothering you.  Even looking at you funny."

Ares: "Xena, I wouldn't talk.  You changed, I believe I can change."

Gabrielle: "Xena changed for me.  I asked her to."

Xena: "Gods am I glad you stuck around." Xena grabs Gabrielle and gives her a gentle but passionate kiss on the lips.

Ares: "Ugh. You two make me sick."

Gabrielle: "Maybe that is just because you are lonely."

Ares: "I am not lonely.  I have Horse."

Gabrielle: "So why does this…" Gabrielle kisses Xena. "Bother you?"

Ares: "Remember…I am the one who is in love with Xena but, cannot have her! Man you people forget things so easily."

Xena: "I cannot help that I don't love you Ares but, I do love Gabrielle."  Xena and Gabrielle kiss again.

Ares: "Oh please, get a room!"

Xena looks at Gabrielle and quirks her eyebrow.  Gabrielle returns it with an innocent smile.

Ares: "You two are sick!"

Xena and Gabrielle walk towards the house and close the door behind them.

Ares: "You know Horse, I should be the one in there making love to Xena, not that prissy bard who can't take care of herself."  Then it hits him…His eyes light up. "That is what I am going to do Horse, I am going to make Xena love me."
