Cupid's Arrows

BY BOOKWORM88

This is an alternate version of the episode A Comedy of Eros.

Okay so this is my first fanfic (Yay for me!) o if your reviewing this done be too harsh. Anything you recognized isn;t mine evrything else is... Sooo enjoy!

It all started when Cupid was trying to put his son Bliss to bed. Instead of falling asleep the mischievous child steals Cupid's arrows instead. With a pop, he vanishes.

Just so you know Cupid's arrows, when fired, will hit a person and the next thing said struck person sees will be the thing struck person falls in love with.

He reappears just to witness the scene of the Hestian Virgins perform their ceremony to the ringing bells. Closely watched by two figures, one in armor the other carrying a staff, Xena and Gabrielle. With a giggle he flies over just in time to see a young man about to give flowers to a girl encouraged by his buddy.

Twang! Fpt! Goes the arrow as it is released and meets its mark in the young man with flowers. Angrily he turns to see not the young lady but his friend as a goofy grin appears on his face he hands the flowers to him! The friend gapes and looks confused but Bliss doesn't stay for long.

Soon he is off again right above the scene of two men fighting over a cow. Immediately one of them is struck with the feeling of complete love for the animal and grabs it and runs away.

Bliss giggles and goes onto another victim. Xena is shot with an arrow just as Draco rides up. Feeling reckless with lust Xena runs up and ferociously… kisses him!

Later, Bliss is just roaming around and happens upon the scene of Joxer and Gabrielle tied back to back to a pole. Just as Xena begins to untie them, a twang is heard and the arrow that made it sinks into Gabrielle. She turns to the left, and then turns to the right just to see… Joxer!

GABRIELLE'S POV

We soon abandoned our post to go to the meadow where they set up blankets and pillows.

"Please Joxer please can we do it, I really want to learn how." I pleaded.

"Well okay, move over here and I'll start….

He's Joxer the mighty,

He roams through the countryside,

He never needs a place to hide,

With Gabi as his sidekick,

Fighting with her little stick.

He's Joxer, Joxer the mighty.

"Oh, please, do it again. I'll never get good if I don't practice." I pleaded with him. We sang through it again. Afterward we sighed and he turned to look up at the sky. Feeling risky I began to blow in his ear. He turned startled to me but then went back to what he'd been doing. Looks like it's going to be hard to get him, but I can do it.

I decided to write in my scrolls, just for something for both of us to do, but what should I write about?

"Hey, Joxer, remember the time you changed personalities every time the bell rang. That was a great story. You know," I said beginning to kiss his neck. "I think I'm going to need to know all the intimate details, because, you know, bards only right about what they now." As he answered and kept kissing up his neck and bit his ear. Then I spontaneously kissed him straight on the mouth. He chocked and I ran to get him some water.

JOXER'S POV

I decided to follow Gabrielle and see what the cause of her sudden, strange behavior was. As I grew nearer I could hear her talking to Xena.

"That was before." Gabrielle said.

"Before what?" said Xena.

"Before I realized, I love him!"

I gulped, she loved me! I knew it was spontaneous but this whole relationship had been and I had a plan, I ran into town to find what I needed.

GABRIELLE'S POV

"You can't keep me from what I want." Declared Draco, "And I want her!" He said staring at me.

Oh, no what was I to do. As we fought suddenly my beloved Joxer was there! He tapped Draco on the shoulder and punched him in the face. Xena suddenly flew in and kicked Draco away.

"Ow!" Joxer whined in the most adorable way, "He hurt my hand."

"Pookie!" I said sympathetically and dragged him to get help.

JOXER'S POV

Oh, no as I turned I saw that Gabrielle's scroll had fallen. I had to get it. I ran out and grabbed it, only to be grabbed myself anf thrown onto Draco's horse. I watched as Gabrielle ran out and after me, and was grabbed by Draco as well.

GABRIELLE'S POV

After disregarding all of Draco's advances I finally had to play the boyfriend card.

"I can't love you because; well because I love someone else." I said.

"Who?" Draco asked being persistent.

"Forget it I tell you and Joxer's as good as dead. " I said. Oh no! Joxer! Draco ran off with an angry snarl. What could I do?

JOXER'S POV

Xena popped into the tent I was held in and cut the ropes but the only thing on my mind was finding Gabrielle.

"Wait! I need you too… never mind I'll do it myself."

I sprang from my bonds and raced to find her and just missed Draco who I watched walk into the tent; luckily I'd gone out the back.

"Gabrielle" I called and saw her head stick out from one of the tents.

"Joxer!" she cried. I grabbed her hand and pulled her back into town.

GABRIELLE'S POV

"Where are we going?" I asked for the 11th time. But Joxer just kept going. Soon we were at a temple… not Hestia's but another. Joxer blindfolded me and pushed me inside. One he'd led me somewhere I could suddenly see, we were in a room full of roses and Joxer…. Joxer was on one knee.

"Now Gabrielle, I know this is going to be very sudden but our whole relationship has, and I don't want to lose you, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" He asked I screamed and he looked upset and startled but then…

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Joxer, of course I will." I screamed my yes' punctuated by kisses. Joxer looked overjoyed and pulled me out of the room into a large room with an aisle… and aisle! Joxer wanted to get married, Right NOW! He ran over to where the priest was and music began to play as I-well what else could I do- walked down the aisle.

JOXER'S POV

Well I did it! I married Gabrielle! As soon as the ceremony was finished though Xena burst in looking confusedly around the room and dragged Gabrielle off with her.

GABRIELLE'S POV

Xena pushed me into a room with the virgins and was then pushed out in front of Draco and another man. They were referring to me as an Amazon princess. And… trying to sell me!

AFTER A LOT OF FIGHTING AND RUNNING

XENA'S POV

I'd figured it out it was Cupid! When I'd grabbed Gabrielle I'd sent Joxer to find him. And here he was. I watched as Gabrielle was taken out from her spell.

GABRIELLE'S POV

I blinked and saw with un-lust clouded eyes that Joxer was-ew- holding my hands! Ugh then… then I remembered I was MARRIED to him! Uh oh what was I going to do!
