When Artemis woke up, she could not believe where she was. She felt gross and tired, and she had a killer headache, Her body was splayed on a dirty couch, and the place smelled like cat food. Her dark hair was a tangled mess, and she was pretty sure she threw up at some point. Getting up, and pressed her hand to her throbbing temple. Her eyes took a minute to adjust to the brightness of the day, but once they were fully opened, Artemis took in her surroundings, and the events of last night came back to her. Oh, she got herself into so much trouble...

2 weeks ago...

Athena was usually annoyed with most of the Olympians, but Zeus was seriously getting on her nerves. Of COURSE, Zeus got on everybody's nerves, seeing as he is the most annoying god ever, but today Athena was more annoyed with him than usual. He insisted that she and Poseidon plan the spring banquet, one of the most important events on Olympus. A few demigods were invited, and of course this year the Heroes of Olympus would be the honoured guests.

Now, Athena doesn't mind planning the Spring Banquet, in fact when Athena plans an event, it always goes smoothly. However, Athena did have a problem working with Poseidon.

Ah yes, Poseidon God of the seas, his royal assholey-ness. Athena could not work with Poseidon, who had zero work ethic and believes that all aquatic animals deserve a spot in Elysium. In fact, Athena refuses to work with Poseidon, but Zeus would not take no for an answer.

"I refuse to work with him!" Athena said in disgust, that morning in the throne room, where Zeus had summouned both Athena and Poseidon.

"Ah, Athena," Poseidon said, running his hands into his hair. "Don't be like that"

"Shut up!" Athena snapped, and then turned her attention back to Zeus "Father, Poseidon and I simply do not get along, I don't think the two of us working together will end well." Athena explained, trying to sound cool, calm, and confident.

"Now, Athena," Zeus began, his stormy blue eyes gazed at the goddess, who was starting to look very desperate. "This is an opportunity for you and Poseidon to work together as a team, and learn to get along. Perhaps this will condition you two, to not fight as often."

"That's never going to work!" Athena felt her voice rise with desperation. Oh no, she was losing her cool. She didn't sound calm and confident at all. At this point, Athena was begging, and she never begs.

"I will hear no more of this discussion, do as I say." Zeus declared, waving the two gods in dissmissal.

Athena gritted her teeth, and bit her tongue to stop herself from saying something that she would regret later.

And that's how Athena ended up working with Poseidon, whom she despised. It didn't help that her daughter, Annabeth was involved with his irritating son, Percy. And it didn't help that the spring banquet was meant to honour the heroes of olympus this year, and so Annabeth and Percy would be attending.

Athena wrote down her plans without consulting Poseidon. Surely, he would agree on the absolute perfection and precision of her plans, everybody did. However, when Athena presented her plans to Posedion, he was not pleased.

"This is so boring!" Poseidon exclaimed as he read through the Athena's itenerary.

"Excuse me? It's perfect, and elegant!" Athena arugued, she could feel a headache coming on...

"Exactly, no surprises!" Poseidon defended himself "And what is this, the colours are light pink and grey?"

"It represents spring, since this is the spring banquet!" Athena felt her voice rise slightly, out of annoyance.

"Spring is supposed to be bright, and full of colours! How about yellow and bright pinks and blues?" Poseidon suggested.

"Yellow? Who are you, Apollo!?" Athena exclaimed.

"Well, I mean spring is when the sun is more prominant..." Poseidon muttered.

"We are not using and bright pinks, or blues, or anything yellow" Athena said through gritted teeth.

"Oh, so we're going to let it be boring, like everything else you do!" Poseidon replied hotly.

"It's not boring. It's practical!" Athena defended herself, she felt her cheeks heat up with anger. She really, really wanted to smack him. She had to calm down, she had to gain control of her emotions. 'Count to ten, breathe in and out' Athena thought to herself. She closed her eyes and did her best to block out Poseidon.

Inhale, Exhale

One.

Athena could hear Poseidon ranting about amusmant and entertaining. He went on and on about colours and how they represented different emotions, how they need to use happy, bright colours instead of the very practical colours Athena had in mind.

Inhale, Exhale

Two.

Poseidon was now critizing her desicion to serve Creme Brulee for desert. Apperantly it was too fancy, and elegant. According to him, food also represents different moods, and therefore they need to serve chips and soda.

Inhale, Exhale

Three.

Poseidon was now suggesting to add in a waterslide to 'spice things up', it would be too boring to just sit down, have conversations and eat food. Apperantly, to have fun a huge waterslide has to be involved.

Inhale, Exhale

Four.

Athena doesn't know what Poseidon's next objection was, because Athena found herself jumping on Poseidon and punching him in the face.

"What the hell!?" Poseidon exclaimed after Athena threw the first punch, but Poseidon got over the intial shock and kicked Athena in the gut. She groaned, but resorted to pulling his hair. Poseidon slammed her into the wall, banging her head pretty hair. She needed a minute to stop herself from blacking out, and soon she was up on her feet, and kicked Poseidon in the balls.

Poseidon groaned and fell to the floor. Athena stood and watched her opponent sigh in defeat.

"Honestly, what the hell was that for..." Poseidon muttered weakly.

Athena had to stop herself from laughing. All the male gods act like they're so tough, but once you kick them in the balls they're at their weakest point. She was victorious though, Poseidon was on the ground, and she was at the top. But that didn't change the fact that they still had to plan the Spring Banquet together. Nor did it change the fact that Aphrodite wanted to have some fun at this banquet, and was planning something right this minute...
