BLOOOP! I don't know... Some of you wonder where they are going… Hmm… you'll find out in this chapter!
Chapter 3
Apollo POV
I guess me jamming out to my music wasn't appreciated, and Morpheus put me to sleep. Jerk. I dreamt I was in a field of wheat. Was Demeter invading? That would not be cool, at ALL. I went through the field to the lone tree where a hot girl sat, reading a book. I tried to say something, flirt with her, but my voice didn't work and she kept asking me questions that I couldn't answer. Then, the wheat turned to flowers, and the flowers turned into monsters, strangling her and drowning her in a puddle of pink lip gloss. Aphrodite? Lightning struck the red tree, and everything turned gray. A voice laughed evilly through the sky and lightning struck the ground next to me. Dad. Suddenly, a huge wave burst through, drowning everything and sweeping me away. I couldn't swim and suddenly I had to go to the bathroom.
"NA-HURR!" I screamed, before waking up in the car, everyone staring at me. Slow applause came from the back of the car, where Ares was trying not to laugh, Aphrodite was applying make-up, not even paying attention and Artemis was shaking her head.
"Nobody lives in Utah," Demeter said, her head suddenly floating next to me. I was still dreaming? "Utah… tah…. Tah… tah…" she had an echoing affect.
"Stop driving so fast… fast… fast…" Aphrodite's head appeared next to Demeter's, still chanting "Tah… tah…" Hephaestus joined.
"Can I see that… that… that…" his voice echoed, floating next to his… uh… wife's.
"Disgrace… grace… grace… grace…" Artemis' head chanted while everyone else's head slowly appeared, chanting an annoying quote and wouldn't leave me alone.
"NOO!" I yelled and woke myself up. Everyone was staring at me.
"Bad dreams?" Morpheus said nonchalantly, stroking his Pillow Pet unicorn, Mr. Sparkles.
"We're almost to Washington!" Zeus announced, interrupting the awkward moment.
"YAY! The place where true love officially happened!" Aphrodite squealed, clapping her hands.
"Wait, what?" Poseidon asked, raising his hand slightly.
"We're going to Spoons," Hera explained.
"Do you mean Forks?" Hecate asked.
"Yes, yes. Whichever silverware it is," my stepmom said dismissively.
"We're going to Forks?" I asked. "Why?"
"Well-" Artemis started.
"Twilight took place there!" Aphrodite burst. Everyone groaned.
"Love is useless, just like Washington!" Artemis snapped.
"If there's wine, we're good," Dionysus sighed with a bored tone.
"That disgusting creation took place there?" Hephaestus snorted.
"My ears are bleeding from that name!" I mumbled.
"Belle and Edgar should eat more cereal," Demeter declared.
"It's Bella and Edward," Aphrodite corrected.
"Same thing," Hermes sighed.
"Couldn't they just drown the stupid fairy?" Poseidon asked. "Is that how the books ended?"
"No! They got married and had a kid!" Aphrodite informed us.
"Enough about Midnight! I'm turning on the radio!" Zeus interrupted loudly.
"It's Twilight!" Aphrodite wailed from the back. The music station immediately started blaring Jason Aldean.
"CAN THIS DAY GET ANY WORSE?" Hermes shrieked.
"Twilight, then country music? We'll get a flat tire next!" Morpheus sighed.
"MY TOE HURTS BECAUSE POSEIDON'S STEPPING ON IT!" I yelled, trying to move my toe.
"IF YOU'RE FEET WEREN'T SO FAT, WE WOULDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM!" he snapped.
"Honky tonk? Are those even words?" Hera sighed, pushing Poseidon and I apart.
"No," Athena agreed.
"Change it!" Ares growled.
"Please, before my eardrums burst," Dionysus said, also with a bored tone. Zeus switched the station.
"Baby, baby, baby, ohhh," the radio screamed.
"NO!" Hera yelled.
"I love her though!" Aphrodite whined, as Zeus turned the radio off.
"Seriously?" Artemis said, looking at Aphrodite.
"What? She's good! I love 'Mistletoe' the best though! It's so cute!"
"Really?" Hecate looked behind her at Aphrodite.
"What?" Aphrodite was confused.
"'She'?" Hephaestus asked.
"What?" Now Aphrodite was annoyed.
"It's a dude!" I said.
"No it's not!" she protested.
"Yes it is. It's a guy. His name is Justin," Hermes said.
"But… the voice…"
"It's a guy!" Poseidon yelled. "Get over it!"
"That appears physically impossible," Athena argued. "The voice of Justin cannot be this high-pitched."
"Puberty?" Aphrodite asked. "How old is sh.. he?"
"I think he's seventeen," Demeter mused. Aphrodite spit out the mocha coffee with extra whipped cream at Demeter's response that she had decided to drink before.
"Seventeen?" Aphrodite squeaked.
"That's probably what he sounded like before puberty," Ares chuckled. Various snorts of laughter were heard through the car. I sighed and put my earbuds in, happy to hear regular songs.
Shorter than usual, and the lovely conversation of Twilight and Justin Bieber, common pickings for jokes. And yes, they're going to Forks, Washington. But that's not the only reason they're on a roadtrip. Each god/goddess has picked a destination they want to go to, and Aphrodite's was the place of 'ultimate love'. Gag. Find out where the other gods/goddesses picked in the following chapters!
