Zeus was skipping down one of the halls of Olympus, singing, "Doodleoodoodeedooooo!" Something's definitely wrong with this already, Annabeth thought.
He passed Hera, who glared at him and made the pronouncement, "I am divorcing you."
Both Percy and Annabeth's eyes flew open at that, and they stared at each other incredulously.
"Shall I continue?" Hestia asked.
"Yes!" they both exclaimed at once, and shut their eyes again.
Zeus ignored Hera and continued skipping. Then he crashed straight into Athena. "Dad, that is unwise," she scolded.
"How would you know?" Zeus asked skeptically.
Athena rolled her eyes. "I'm the goddess of wisdom. You're my dad. You should know that."
Percy elbowed Annabeth and whispered, "Your mom sure is rude to her dad."
"Hush, Percy!" Annabeth hissed, elbowing him back.
Zeus ignored Athena too and kept skipping down the hall. Then he stopped and wrinkled his nose as if he smelled something. Then he shouted, "Aphrodite!"
Aphrodite poked her head out of her room, with a bottle of perfume in her hand. "Yes?"
"Aphrodite, kindly marry me," Zeus commanded.
Aphrodite cocked her head to one side and thought about that. "Umm... no."
"Okay then, UNkindly marry me!"
Annabeth opened her eyes and looked at Hestia. "What the- is Zeus insane?" There was a crash of thunder and she quickly shut both her eyes and her mouth.
"Umm... no."
"Aphrodite!" Zeus whined. Then, seeing as she wasn't listening, kept skipping until he found Hestia roasting a marshmallow, and sat down next to her.
Apollo came up behind Zeus and tapped him on the shoulder. "How come you get to be king?"
"Um, because I clobbered my dad?" Zeus replied a little hesitantly.
"Maybe I should clobber you, and then I'll get to be king!" Apollo grinned evilly.
"NOOOOO!" Zeus screamed.
Hestia stuck her marshmallow on Apollo's face, and he began licking it and was thus distracted from clobbering Zeus.
The scene dissolved, and Percy and Annabeth looked at each other with wide eyes. "Well, you were right about there being a problem," Percy remarked.
