Chapter One

Hey Fanfictionians, I just thought of this little three shot. It's between one of my OC's and her dad. It's cute and kinda sweet. Please let me know what you think. I only own Hailee and Cassiopeia.


After the Giant War, a town somewhere in Florida
POV of Cassiopeia Barnes, daughter of Athena,
sister Malcolm Barnes, Apprentice Scribe to the gods

When the gods gave me the orbs that would show this story, I was surprised. Firstly, I would have thought they would want Rick Riordan, Senior Scribe (who I am not, so it has been posted on Fanfiction. Net) (A/N: Like how I squeezed in my disclaimer? No? Okay then. :| ) to write it.

Secondly, rarely does a god admit they are wrong, even one as nice as Hermes. Even more rarely do they tell the world they admit it. So when I was given the task of recording this story, I was more than a little surprised. These godly dudes surprise me more and more each day.

The first orb I received showed me Hailee's lecture to Hermes, from her eyes. The second, Hermes' apology to Hailee through his. I have recorded these the way I was told to. I believe the gods hope to show that they can change. That they do care about us demigods. (If that's the case they may want to work harder.)

Hermes hopes this will show that gods are people, too. (Albeit, immortal, slightly bratty, extremely powerful people.) Sometimes yelling at them will show them what they have done wrong. Though if it's Hades or Zeus or anyone but Hermes, Hephaestus, and Apollo, I'd avoid the yelling. All you need is to have the courage.
