Chapter 1
I should have stayed at home
It was a peaceful day at Mt .Olympus. Birds were singing, satyrs playing the flutes and the sky so blue as if Zeus himself was watching My Little Ponies.
The truth?
"POSIEDON!"
The throne room was in utter chaos. All the Olympians where present including Hades who sat on his famous black throne.
Poseidon had 'accidently' splashed Athena with water who was now busy sending pencils to his...urn...manly parts.
"Ow! Sorry Athena! DARN IT THAT HURTS!"
"And so it should, fish brain!"
"Shut it owl face! I told you I was sorry!"
"You're still sore I won the people of Athens. Admit it"
"No one said anything about Athens"
And the twins were no better.
"Men are pigs." Artemis stated
"Hey! I take offence!" said Apollo clutching his heart in mock hurt.
"Who says you're a boy?"
"Thanks...wait what did you say?"
"Boys are DUMP." Artemis said proving her point.
While at the other side the war god was seriously getting ticked off by Aphrodite.
"HOW DARE YOU DO THAT ARES?"
"Calm down babe"Ares said which was ironic since he was the god of war. "What did I do, exactly?"
"You..You stole my Lakme cherry lipstick!"
"No I didn't"
"Yes you did. You where the only one to enter my room last night"
"That doesn't prove anything! Besides why would I even want them? I think their disgusting!"
Arises reply gained him both good and bad news. The good news:aphrodite stopped accusing him of stealing the darn thing and the bad one? He got a lecture on makeup and a red slap mark.
Hades wasn't having a good time either.
"For the last time WOMEN I am not going to eat cereals"
"It's good for you, you creep! At least my poor daughter who you kidnapped-"
"She's my wife! and she's happy in our underworld home."
"If you can call that dark hole a house!"Demeter snapped
Hermes was talking rather loudly into his phone and Dionysius was drinking his four hundred and eighty ninth cup of wine that day.
Hephaestus was causing small explosions and dust while fixing a net cable into his throne.
Hera was glaring at no one in particular.
Zeus was messaging his forehead. All this chaos-it was driving him nuts.
Take a deep breath he told himself good! Now think of something pleasant-olives!
"For your information olives are bad tempered pieces of-"Poseidon yelled.
Okay forget olives Zeus commanded himself think about...music!
"But I love Justin Bieber songs!"Apollo whined
"Oh! PLEASE" Artemis sighed "he is a boy-"
"Of course he is a boy!"Apollo muttered
"Now Taylor Swift sings-"
Forget music too Zeus thought think...think...perfume?
"You stole my Park Avenue deodorant, Aphrodite!"Ares shouted
"No! ...maybe because you stole my lipstick"
"For the hundredth time I didn't!"
Think...think Zeus thought franticly. Nope he was done thinking. It was time for action.
"SILENCE" he bellowed "No more arguing. As a punishment I am grounding Poseidon, Athena, Ares, Aphrodite, Artemis and Apollo to becoming teenagers and attending high school for a week!"
"You can't do that!"
"You're worse than Dean Martin!"
"One month" Zeus growled "the longer you protest I keep increasing the time"
Still more protests to the last command.
"Two months" Zeus announced "any more comments?"
"Dad sucks" Apollo murmured under his breath
"I heard that Apollo. One school year"
No one said anything.
Finally Poseidon raised his hand as if still in class.
"Yes brother?"Zeus asked
"What about them?"He pointed to the rest of the gods "don't they get punished too?"
"Yes they will be. But it will be chaotic if I sent all of you to school. Instead they will clean Olympus without using their powers"
No one dared spoke
1. They were scared Zeus would get into his lightning karate mode.
2. They didn't want to raise his temper and end up cleaning the toilets.
"Good. Now go get some sleep. Tomorrow you'll find yourselves sixteen year olds and information to survive in the mortal world"
"Can we go to Goode high school?"Poseidon asked "only Percy is-"
"Dont forget this is a punishment!"Zeus said flashing away.
The gods got up and left and Poseidon could be heard grumbling "I should have stayed at home."
