AN: I found this story from a few years back. I had to write a Greak myth
thingy, or whatever a few years back, and this just kinda jumped up and
slapped me. I have nothing against Hades, the Greeks, or any of them. This
is just for fun.
III. Hades' New Pet
by Me ^_~ v
One day, Hades, the Greek guy of the underworld (or it went something like that. . .) went to a pet store in Athens, since the city of Athena had the best pets in the world. Actually, New York had the best, but it didn't exist yet.
You see, Hades wanted to try and cook bacon, and gave it to Cerebus to test it out. Unfortunately, Cerebus died of food poisioning, and Hades couldn't even *begin* to imagine why. . .
Hades entered the pet shop and was greeted by a shopkeeper, who had just put on an apron over his bed sheet. (Well, it *looked* like a bedsheet. . .okay, it was a touga, but it looked like a bedsheet, or a blanket, take your pick.)
"Hello," the shop keeper said dully, like he was tired of saying that. Probably was. "Here's the sphinx. It has the head of a woman, and it likes to tell riddles."
"Nah," said Hades. "Too riddley. I hate riddles."
"Here's the dragon," the shop keeper said, pointing at a Western dragon eating a donkey. "It's big, and breathes fire."
"Nah," said Hades. "I don't want it to shed scales on my new rug."
"Here's a hydra," the shopkeeper said, pointing at the hydra that couldn't get up from it's side because it had too many heads. Heads have weight, ya'know. "Cut off one head and it grows three more heads."
"Nah," Hades said, shaking his head. "Too many heads to feed. Food cost money, and we gods don't get the best pay in the world."
"Here," said the shopkeeper, taking out a small polomino bunny, "is a bunng rabbit. It likes to be snuggled eight hours a day, and needs to eat five carrots a day."
"Perfect!" Hades cried. "I'll take it!"
Thus, the new guardian of the Underworld was a bunny rabbit. It spent most of it's time in Hades lap being snuggled, and you wouldn't beleive how many breakins and breakouts they had. Some robbers even stole Hades' new spatula! Hades was in tears for weeks, but there you go. -_-
THE END!!!
