Aphrodite
The goddess of Love plopped onto her hot pink mattress in frustration, trying to think of something to do.
"For the Love of Gods, could it be any more boring?" she asked herself, waiting for an answer. No response. She groaned and tucked herself into her sheets, even though it was only 12:30 in the afternoon.
"I might as well sleep my eternal days away," she muttered. "Cause it's not as if I'm going to lose any days of my life doing it." She closed her eyes slowly, and a few hours later, she woke up to a shrieking noise.
"Aphrodite!" An urgent voice reverberated throughout the goddess' room, and she groggily opened her eyes to a very tired Messenger God.
"Gods do you have fifty flights of stairs or something, or do I need to work out more?" Hermes questioned the goddess, wiping his shoes' wings clean.
"What are you doing here, Hermes," she asked, narrowing her eyes at the sketchy God.
Hermes grinned, looking strangely like that Stoll boy that she paired with Katie...Travis, was it?
I might want to remind you that your other half is here. the Roman half, dear. Good luck!" Before Aphrodite could respond, Hermes ducked out the room and a poof of bronze air filled her eyes. When the fog cleared, she saw a dazzling woman in a gold dress.
However beautiful she as, Aphrodite hopped off of her bed, checked her makeup quickly, and snapped the mirror closed.
"Venus," she said simply. Although it seems strange she was technically talking to herself, Venus, she often had to remind herself, was basically another version of her...a carbon copy. A mere copy. She sniffed.
"Aphrodite," Venus smiled, showing the contrast between her pearly teeth and vibrant red lipstick.
"It's so amazing to see you-"
"Sorry to interrupt but why are you here?" she asked as innocently as she could without strangling her other half to death.
Venus shrugged, pacing along the large room. "Just wanted to say hi, that's all."
"You haven't said 'hi' to me in over 500 years, Venus. Spill it."
Venus sighed, sitting herself down on the vanity chair.
"I just wanted to warn you my dear, that you're going to meet some serious disappointment if you keep continuing with that poor helpless case of Jasper."
Aphrodite gasped dramatically and stepped up to Venus.
"How rude are you barging into my room and insulting my MASTERPIECE?"
"Jasper? Masterpiece? Hon, I'd like to introduce you to the new fad; Jeyna. Now they are a TRUE couple. In fact, they COULD have been a couple already if it weren't for that wretched Jun-I mean Hera."
The Greek Goddess huffed indignantly.
"Well...I still have Percabeth! So HA." she spat back in triumph. Venus smirked.
"Look," she said calmly, almost nicely. "I seriously just came over to say hi. I'm not an argumentative person. But I saw those Jasper photos, and I didn't want see more. Let them be together if you wish, but fate will come and tear those two apart eventually. And not even the gods can tamper with fate."
What Venus said made a strong point, and even Aphrodite began to feel nervous. She definitely did not want her daughter to be heartbroken.
"And Percabeth? Well technically, I took a part in that. You're not the only goddess in the universe, Sweetie." Aphrodite and Venus took a step towards each other, both wondering how the Hades one could be related to the other.
"You-You messed with my Percabeth. You messed with my Percabeth." Aphrodite's anger began to rise considerably; Nobody ever messed with her couples.
"Then fine. You think you're so hot, let's see. Who's couples can be the more successful one?" She began to reach the most amazing idea ever created.
"Well just how in the world will we do that without them knowing?" Venus seemed a bit intrigued now, wanted to make a point that she could be just as well known as her relative.
"A show. That's right, "Aphrodite grinned widely. "WE create a show where all Gods can vote at the end of the day on their favorite couple for that episode. It'll be genius. Amazing. I am a genius!" she exclaimed happily, forgetting about Venus for a brief moment and planning out her idea.
"Hm..." Venus considered agreeing to her annoying relative's otherwise pretty good plan.
" Fine. We start tomorrow. I shall meet you again." With that, Venus strode off and disappeared in another cloud of glittery, bronze smoke.
"Gods, can that woman just leave normally?" Aphrodite asked herself, coughing in the process.
"She will pay for insulting my work," Aphrodite decided.
"She will. And so will everyone else. This isn't just a show anymore." she grinned even wider, if that was still possible.
"This is revenge. OH, revenge. Sweet, sweet, revenge. Venus, Hermes, Stolls.-ESPECIALLY the Stolls-Get ready for the...Game show of Love...No, The...No..." She contemplated several name ideas for her show in her head, and finalized that she would call it something unique. Something...Awesome, for lack of a better description.
With that, Aphrodite tucked herself back in the covers and prepared for a very long day.
Annabeth POV
It's times like these where I become so desperate for advice, I go to the master of all my problems, the place where I can vent my anger and feelings. I took a deep breath and swung open the door to the Aphrodite cabin.
Now I know what you're thinking. A daughter of Athena, wise, proud, independent, going over to the goddess of love's children for advice? I didn't want to, but what else are you supposed to do when you, after months of teasing from your friends, admit that you have a problem?
But for some odd reason, I woke this morning and felt compelled to do just so. I don't know why, but it was a feeling.
"Hey, Annabeth!" Silena exclaimed, rushing over to greet me with a crushing hug. I groaned slightly, becoming a bit out of breath when she let go.
"Gee, Silena," I wheezed. "Hi!"
"So what is the I'm So intelligent that I don't need love daughter of Athena doing in the Aphrodite Cabin?" she teased.
"Oh, well I had a question," I said hesitantly, trying not to be too specific.
Although, I had a feeling that Silena already knew what I was up to.
"Oh, then shoot. I'm all ears." The teen grinned and smoothed out her beanbag before plopping onto it.
I took a deep breath before explaining my odd dream from last night . When I was finished, I waited eagerly for a response.
"Well...I'm not sure. But come back tomorrow and I'll see what I can do for you!" Silena exclaimed with zeal. I smiled and walked out the door. "Forget it. She's useless." I rolled my eyes and walked to the Zeus cabin, trying for Thalia.
"Round number two..." I said quietly.
..Uhh...That was terrible =.= I might rewrite this again LOL. Well, R&R regardless!
