Athena: Why are you even breathing the same air as me Barnacle Beard?

Poseidon: I could ask you the same question Feather Brain!

Athena: Well, I'm the goddess of battle strategy. Without me people would've torn each other apart ages ago. What do you have to offer the world?

Poseidon: My seas and my earthquakes.

Athena: And I suppose you're proud about destroying Japan?

Poseidon: Stop telling me what I can do and what I can't do! You don't own me or the PJO!

Mount Olympus -

It was the Summer Solstice on Olympus. All the gods had come together to talk about godly politics, and the newest couples. After that they had the dance that they had begged Zeus to let them have. Apollo had been responsible for the music and Demeter had brought food. The party was already in full swing when a slow dance came by. All of the gods found their dates and started dancing; all except Poseidon and Athena. They didn't have any dates. After the slow dance had ended Aphrodite excused herself from her date and came over to them. "Why aren't you two dancing?" she asked them.

"Why would I dance with Feather Brain!" Poseidon asked with sarcasm thick in his voice.

"Exactly! Who would dance with Barnacle Beard here? Not me!" Athena told Aphrodite.

"Come on, your the ultimate couple!" Aphrodite swooned over them.

"Not in a hundred millenia would I dance with him!" Athena stalked out of the room so that nobody would see her tears. She hadn't wanted to say those hurtful things, but had to pretend that she didn't think Poseidon was hot. Deep in her heart she wanted to be with him for eternity, but he was married. Plus, he probably didn't like her either. They had always been arch enemies. That would probably never change. And, the thing was, she was a maiden goddess. But she would give up that position immediately if he went out her.

Poseidon was also having doubts about his wife. She had started becoming a pain in the seashell, and he secretly thought that Athena looked much hotter. The thing was, he couldn't marry her. He had a wife who would kill him if he divorced with her, and secondly, Athena was a maiden goddess. She'd never go out with him. She had even said her self that she'd never go out with him. Not in a hundred millenia. What should he do?

Aphrodite was unhappy to see Athena storm out of the room. "Go after her" she told Poseidon. "I know you like her, so go!"

"But what would I say when I got there? Athena, I followed you here because I like you? She'd think it was a joke." Poseidon replied sadly. But Aphrodite had already pushed him through the door. What Poseidon saw there amazed him: Athena was on her knees crying. When she heard the door close she looked up and saw Poseidon standing there, looking at her sadly. She hurriedly got to her knees and started down the hallway when she heard Poseidon's voice "Athena.." he called.

"What? Are you here to make fun of me for crying over you?" Athena snapped at him.

"Athena.. I'm so sorry that you're crying over me. I love you too, but I'm married." Poseidon told her with sorrow very clear in his voice. "But I'd give it all up for you."

" You would? Really? Me too." Athena replied with a sigh.

Poseidon came up to her and looked around suspiciously. Then he took her in his arms and they stood like that for a long while. When they finally broke apart they didn't notice Aphrodite who had looked in through the door. Poseidon escorted Athena to the women's bathroom so she could dry her tears. That's when an idea suddenly hit him. "Athena," he began, "what if we had a secret relationship? When other people are here we pretend that we're still arch enemies, but when we're alone we could pretend we're a real couple."

"But I'm a maiden goddess." Athena protested. "It would interfere with my code of never being in a relationship."

"You could ask Zeus to make you a normal goddess." he told her gently. "I know this would be a big sacrifice for you to make. And I don't want to force you."

Athena looked at him with a smile on her lips. "It wouldn't be a big sacrifice. Just a small one to be able to be with you forever. And you'd divorce with your wife, wouldn't you?" But in her heart she already knew the answer.

Do you think he's going to divorce with his wife? Please review!
