Mt. Olympus
Winter solstice meeting
Artemis looked up at her father. Apollo did too, with his bruised eye twitching violently.
Zeus sighed. "You came in here and immediately fought like kindergartners. Tell me what happened."
Hera muttered, "Surprising you said 'fought like kindergartners'. You and Poseidon were like that every single day."
"Dear wife, I and my brother do not argue like kindergartners. Our arguments are about serious issues."
"Like you being 'Momma's favorite'?"
"Yes. That is serious." He turned back to the twins.
Artemis said, "Apollo made one of my huntresses pregnant for the 16th time in a row this week. This is clearly unacceptable."
"Aw c'mon! It's the first time!" Apollo griped.
The goddess of hunting glared at him, her face cherry red. "First time? It has been already 5672 years, 8 months, 2 weeks, and 5 five days already!"
Apollo's golden eyes lit up."Mm. I feel a haiku's coming up."
"No, no! No more of your stupid haikus!" Artemis protested.
Apollo ignored her. He cleared his throat and recited:
"History's gone by
This is now the present day
Go for the future."
He grinned. None of the gods applauded. He was obviously thinking, My poem is just too great for them.
"Father," Artemis began, "He-"
She was cut off by Ares' cheer, "YEAH, BABY! ONE O'CLOCK! MEETING'S OOH-VAARR!" And with that the other gods disappeared.
"They wasted our time!" Hera pointed a horrible finger at the twins. "Punish them, Zeus!"
The King of the Gods scratched his beard thoughtfully. "Well, maybe I should punish them. 1 year in the mortal world-"
"Mortal world? Artemis spend her time in the mortal world kicking guys' asses."
"-as high school students."
"What?" Artemis blurted, "No, please, no." She did the silver puppy eyes.
Zeus' expression softened. "1 semester, I think. Or you don't have to-"
"Farewell, children of Leto," Hera interrupted, she snapped her fingers, and she and Zeus disappeared.

Artemis tapped her foot impatiently. Apollo, that fool! If he hadn't made Cheryl pregnant, none of this would've happened. And now, she's right here, waiting for him in the cold.
A bright flash of golden light. Artemis averted her eyes, until a cheerful voice called to her, "Hey, sis!"
"Don't call me sis!" she snapped. "Now, do you know which high school we're going to?"
"Sure. I see all, know all." He paused. "Erm…"
She sighed. "You are such an idiot."
"Got it! William McKinley High, Lima, Ohio." He licked his lips hungrily. "Hot gals there."
Artemis rolled her eyes.
"If you roll your eyes too much, they'll fall out," Apollo said. "Now, get in the car."

William McKinley High, Lima, Ohio
Will Schuester walked down the hallway, whistling a happy tune. Figgins told him to see the new 10th grade students.
He stopped when he saw a blonde boy and an nut-brown-haired girl walking and arguing. When they got closer, Schuester could make out what they were saying.
"-That time it was you," said the girl.
"Oh, really?"
She rolled her eyes. She had – if Schuester wasn't imagining it – silver eyes. Her brother's bright amber, reminded him of the sun.
"Of course! You're the one who sang "Under the Sea"in Poseidon's realm."
"You shouldn't blame me, we were under the sea!"
Schuester stepped forward, smiling. "Hello, the new students. Welcome to William McKinley High. My name's Will Schuester, Spanish teacher." He offered his hand.
The boy shook it first. "Pleasure to meet you, sir. I'm Andrew Archer, this is my li'l sis, Diana."
Diana snorted. "Li'l sis? Well – what does they say nowadays? FYI, I'm 10 seconds older."
"You can't be sure. You were only a…" He paused. "A baby."
"I am sure, I helped Mother deliver you!"
"Excuse me," Will interrupted, "I think you should go to the gymnasium now, for morning assembly."
"Oh, right. See you, Mr. Schuester," Diana said, she dragged her brother down the hallway.
"You can call me 'Mr. Schue'."
"Mr. Schuester is fine for me."
"Oh, wait," Schuester called, "I'm the director of the music club , glee. If you're interested to join, meet me during your free time."
"A music club? Sure!" Andrew shouted happily. Schuester couldn't help smiling. This boy obviously had a passion for music.
