It was a normal day at Mount Olympus . Well , at least normal as the Olympians are concerned . Athena and Poseidon were arguing about who's better. Demeter was nagging Hades about cereals and Hades pretended to take no notice. Hera was arguing with Zeus because of the number of times he goes to earth to chase the skirts of mortal women. Artemis was arguing with her twin about who was born first. Hermes was shouting at his cell phone and there was a call every five minutes. Dionysus just couldn't believe his luck as his punishment was lifted . Hephaestus and Ares were arguing over Aphrodite . And the sound level at the throne room was 22,000 Hz . See , pretty normal .
The same thing described above happened in the next day .
And the next day .
And the next
Finally Zeus had enough . He made an announcement that almost made the Olympians have their ears dropped down .
"I think I finally found out why we fight so much with each other" he boomed
Silence
'Has he ?' thought Hermes
"The problem is simple .We don't understand each other . As a matter of fact we never understood each other in the past few millennia . So…"
Everyone held their breath . Maybe he will give classes about family bonding thought Athena . Maybe he'll make me the ruler of Olympus thought Poseidon . Maybe he finally understood the importance of cereal . thought Demeter . Maybe he'll ban this cereal crazed freak from Olympus and give me her place
thought Hades .Maybe he'll become a good husband thought Hera . Maybe he'll ask everyone's female demigod children to join the hunt thought Artemis . Maybe he'll make me sing my poems twice every week thought Apollo . Maybe he'll give me more days off thought Hermes . I couldn't care less thought Dionysus . Maybe he'll start a war thought Ares . Maybe he'll ban Ares from visiting Aphrodite thought Hephaestus . Maybe he'll allow me to give a makeover for everyone , squeal ! thought Aphrodite . (A/N : Sorry if this part was boring )
"I've decided to start a slam book" Zeus finally said
This time the Olympians' ears really fell off . Have their father/brother/husband gone crazy?
"Father what are you talking about?" Athena asked . She remembered the time when her father made the decision to bring that no good sea weed's son to become the messenger for Olympus . It was a disaster ( A/N: From my fic Triton's Day at Olympus)
"What I am saying is that , through this slam book we can understand each other very well"
"Who told you about slam books?" Hermes asked
"Diana"
"Who?" Hera asked angrily
"Er… no one dear "
"WHO'S DIANA!"
"Did I say Diana dear ? No I meant Dionysus . Dionysus not Diana"
Dionysus still can't believe that he finally escaped from those brats at the camp . He didn't even look up when his name was mentioned .
Hera looked suspicious but she chose to believe it anyway .
"So all those in favor of this idea?" Zeus asked .
Almost everyone's hand went up ( not Dionysus 'cause he still can't believe – well you know) . This was not because everyone was really waiting for their father/brother/husband to say this with cherries on top . It was because they finally can get a break from the usual squabbling they do at Olympus .
"So tomorrow we'll start the Slam Book of the Gods! Meeting dispersed"
Everyone left . This is gonna be fun thought Hermes .
