I do not own the Greek myths. Does anyone?
Just a drabble if my friend and I were goddesses
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
From the outside it was like any other palace on Mt. Olympus. On the inside, however, you could see that it wasn't like any other palace. One side was quite literally filled with books. The other side had trophies, medals, and ribbons for every sport imaginable. This palace was shared by the goddess of Books, Sophia, and the goddess of Sports, Alannis.
The two goddesses were currently in a room near the back of the palace, surrounded by nymphs, with one old satyr sitting in a corner at a desk. They all (except for the satyr) were totally engrossed in a toy which was being passed around the circle. The satyr moved only to make a line when the toy was padded to the next person.
Eventually, the toy stopped, in the hands of a nymph, who looked guiltily at the faces in the circle. The satyr cleared his throat and said, "Nine hundred and sixteen" They all groaned. Before they started a new round, the door burst open, and Hermes strolled in.
"Wow." He exclaimed. "You are still playing with that stupid toy."
"Take that back!" Alannis snarled. Sophia had her arms wrapped around the toy, as if shielding it from further harm.
"Zeus told me to take that toy, because you two have been slacking off on your duties."
"They're still writing and reading without me!" Sophia pointed out.
"Yeah." Alannis said in agreement. "You aren't taking away Apollo's Halo game."
"Halo is important to society. This toy isn't."
"Because MarioKart stops the world from plunging into anarchy." Sophia said.
"How do you know it doesn't?"
"I've played it."
"Well, Zeus said to hand it over."
"Why not take away Hera's MySpace? That would actually make a difference." Alannis said, quite seriously.
"I know! I can honestly say I've never wanted a MySpace. Thanks to her, I have one!" Sophie agreed.
"And what about Zeus's online dating? If you took that away, at least Hera would be thankful!" Alannis continued.
"JUST HAND IT OVER!!!!!!!!!!" Hermes yelled.
"Jeez dude. What's your problem?" Sophia asked.
"Give me the toy!"
After much swearing, grumbling, and stellar bits of logic, the two goddesses relinquished the toy. Hermes tucked the toy in his cloak, and strode off, presumably to Zeus's palace, ignoring the shoes, vases, and bottles of Greek fire thrown at his retreating form.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Inside Hermes's palace, Apollo, Dionysus, and other minor gods sat in a circle, waiting. Hermes walked ii, "So," He said, pulling out the toy. "Who wants to play Bop It?"
