If you review I will give you a hug.
She heard yelling and screaming. Then Aphrodite cautiously opened an eye, then the other. What she saw opposed Love in every way.
Hades and Pesephone were arguing. A god scale argue that consisted of balls of black fire being thrown at Persephone and vines wrapping around Hades's throat. Aphrodite stepped in.
" Hey darlings, I think you need to explain what is going on to mama here, " she told them in a sickly sweet voice.
They stopped immediately.
Hades shifted uncomfortably.
"Um...We didn't see you here. "
he stepped out of a pile of limp vines.
Persephone squeaked " Yeah, uh, we were just arguing."
Aphrodite clucked her tongue.
"Aww, you are very naughty. Do you mind telling me what is going on?"she continued in the sickly sweet voice.
Hades was the first to start.
" I caught her with this urchin." He said 'urchin' like he couldn't wait to get the word out off his mouth.
"Guards!" he yelled.
A satyr sandwiched between two guards was shoved up in front of Aphrodite. He whimpered and knelt in front of her.
"I-I-I was instructed to g-g-give th-th-this to L-Lady P-Persephone by Lady D-D-Demeter, L-Lord H-H-Hades w-won't believe m-m-me"
The satyr thrust a package into Aphrodite's fingers. She picked at the ribbons, then thought otherwise for the sake of her nails. She muttered the words "franleribbone"which Hecate had taught her, (I made this up completely)and the ribbons undid themselves and coiled themselves into a neat pile before landing on the floor. The box was brown,with a note attached. It said " Honey, you must eat more cereal. Staying in the underworld for one year is bad for your health. Cereal should even this out. Here is one whole box of your favourite
Persephone groaned and Hades said in a cheerful voice-too cheerful for him
"Well, that clears things up," then he glared at Aphrodite.
"Now that matters cleared, what do you want?"
Aphrodite was irritated.
"Honey, remember the time I used my magic to let Persephone like you? Well, you gave me a request card. I am here to use it."
'Why?" his voice was clearly irritated.
"I need you to lower the price of the jewels, diamonds,silver, and whatever you use to make jewelry."
"WHAT!" Hades literally jumped up and ran into the palace.
He returned a few minutes later holding a piece of parchment.
He waved it in Aphrodite's face, screaming " I hardly have any jewels to give to them, let alone give it to them for cheap. This is high-grade, thousand year-old material-"
"So? It only takes about a few thousand years to make another one."
" Yeah but-"
" No buts, Hades, no buts. "
"But-"
" I have my request card" She poked, taunting him.
"Oh-oh-fine." then he stormed away, looking annoyed.
Aphrodite started to get ready to go back to Olympus when she remembered Persephone.
She turned around and gave her a big hug.
Persephone was startled. She had't really been given any affection since she entered the Underworld.
"What was that for?" she asked Aphrodite when she had pulled herself away.
Aphrodite counted on her fingers.
"Number one, you are a very pretty person."
"Number two, you and Hades make the cutest couple ever!"
Persephone groaned and walked away. There was a blinding flash, and when Persephone looked back, Aphrodite was gone.
Yes ! Now , if you review, it will make me very happy, and I will update sooner :)
