just so you know, people i have rewritten the chapters but I will update soon, to much stress with mi school
"Enough!" Hephaestus bellowed after the moment when Ares called Aphrodite a whore, oh he had enough, NOBODY will call his wife a whore. "You are all acting like spoiled children! So help me Chaos, I will tie you up and hang you above Tartarus if we don't continue the annual summer solstice meeting and NOBODY, I MEAN NOBODY will call my wife a whore!" Hephaestus raged on, when he is very angry, he is certainly not nice, even Zeus feared him during his very rare 'mood swings'. Everyone except the deities who did not intercept with the fight, looked down unto the cold marble floor, looking down with shame on their faces.
"Hephaestus is right, we are acting like children, especially me." Zeus confessed, red was the color of his proud face, "Everyone, please go back to your thrones and take your seats. Let us continue the summer solstice meeting." Zeus announced, "That was very sweet and brave of you to defend me like that, dear husband." Aphrodite whispered lovingly at Hephaestus' ear, Hephaestus just merely nodded, with a loving expression on his face, a this, Aphrodite blushed slightly.
"Okay, everybody anymore complains, suggestions, and announcements?" Zeus told the deities, after a long day with Apollo reading his bad poetry, Athena rambling a lecture on how Apollo, Hermes, and Ares should be more mature and being more sanitary, Hera ignoring Zeus and staying close to Poseidon in a brotherly and sisterly manner, Hermes complaining that Artemis should bath more which resulted another dispute, and Apollo daring Hades to sing in front of the council, surprisingly he has a good voice.
"Father, let me remind you that its almost time for the annual summer ball" Athena spoke up, reminding. "Thank you, Athena for reminding me." Zeus replied, 'this is my opportunity to get revenged on Hades for laughing at me and for having a better singing voice than me.' "Let me remind that for the solstice ball, attendance is mandatory, if you have will not attend, I will punish severely in not obeying and refusal to their king." Zeus hardly keeping a straight face when Hades glared murderously.
'At least to my relief that nobody said anything about escorts and dates.' Artemis thought. reading her thought, Aphrodite smugly smiled and went to Zeus ear and whispered about dates also being mandatory, at this suggestion, he nodded, he will win Hera back with this suggestion. "Everybody, announcement, listen up" Zeus commanded, Apollo and Hermes immediately stopped their prank played on poor Dionysus, who was sleeping on the corner and did not partake in the fight which involved with hot pink markers and a bucket of glue. "Everyone, Aphrodite had a suggestion that dates are mandatory, no twin brotherly-sisterly escorts, I'm talking to you, Apollo and Artemis, and also gowns and suits are also mandatory." Zeus declared while Artemis is panicking 'oh, that Aphrodite, oh well so much for that thought'.
"Party planning will be on Athena and Aphrodite 'what!!', Food will be Demeter and Hestia 'okay', and music will be on Apollo 'sure, Papa Zeusy' , remember the music will be ballroom dancing not a party, and the hosts will be Artemis and Hermes 'this will be a disaster waiting', and also for the beverage will be on Poseidon and Dionysus 'Hey Dion, you listening?. Huh wut?' , remember no strong wine 'dammit'." Zeus rambles on.
On the party planning;
Athena and Aphrodite were in the garden, agreeing on some color schemes such as dark chestnut brown and gold or peach and light orange colors, But disagreeing in the theme of the party. "The theme will be Books" Athena said, "How about Valentines sweet hearts?" Aphrodite suggested, "hmmmm..." Athena mumbled to herself, Suddenly Aphrodite stands up and struck a dramatic pose "Ahhh! I know, Elegance and Sophistication with a touch of Romance!" Aphrodite said with a dramatic flair, "Big words, Aphy, but that is a great idea!" Athena praised.
On the kitchen:
'Cereal! Cereal!Cereal!Cereal!Cereal!" Demeter ranted on, "Why should we choose cereal? Cereal is healthy, cereal contains true grass out of oats... after 1 hour lecture about cereal...... and heck it was made by awesome me, and that is why we will have cereal as the main course, appetizer, and sides." Demeter concluded her presentation about cereal, now all of the kitchen staff except Persephone who was attentive, were in deep asleep, even Hestia was asleep, which is really rare.
On the music:
"country folk? nah, ummm " Apollo mumbled, Apollo was on the plaza, sitting on an ivory bench with his feet propped up and his golden lyre in between his muscular tan legs. Thinking where on Olympus he would get a date, he knows that his twin is completely panicking with date and gown thingy... Apollo was so lost on thought, He did not notice Athena sneaking up unto him 'sure, he is cute, when concentrating' Athena thought 'wait what, I have just thought that Mr Sunshine is cute... what is wrong with me." Athena pushed him slightly, scaring the poopy doopy out of him. "Hey Mr. Golden, how ya' doing?" Athena greeted Apollo casually, "I told you not to sneak like that, Theeny!" Apollo whined. "NOBODY WILL BE CALLING ME 'THEENY', YOU SON OF A GORGON!" Athena declared, but not that harshly with her pink lips slightly upturned.
on the hosting:
The assigned hosts were on of the gardens in the Olympian domain. Hermes was siting cross legged under an old willow tree, with Artemis directly in front of him leaning on the trunk of the aged tree. Hermes was scribbling on the ream of paper he brought to work on their script while Artemis is fingering her bow with her soft hands, "So, How about our greeting will be 'Good evening, everyone! Welcome to the annual summer solstice ball,' ?" Hermes suggested, "Yeah sure" Artemis agreed, " So, whose your date?" Hermes hesitantly asked "I do not know, well to be honest , I'm freaking out, so whose yours?" Artemis confessed and asked, Hermes' mouth and throat gone dry for a moment, he had always had a small(huge) crush on her, and was planning to ask her and now was not the right time, so he decided to play it safe, "No, but there is this one girl that I want to ask though, I sure do hope that she agrees" Hermes said looking at the sky through a hole in the leaves, his bright green eyes shining with hope and fear, and Artemis felt a pang of jealousy.
