Victoria woke up and saw Olivia with a huge stack of papers. "I found these. Did you want them together?" Victoria groaned taking the papers managing to separate them again. "And Dad gave me these papers this morning. It is an awful lot." Olivia said at least 200 complaints stacked. "Put them down." Victoria sighed. She scanned the first one. 'Victoria I have a complaint on how you and that someone should be together! I got my mother involved. She and I are devoted to Tori! (Triton and Victoria together)' - Bella heir of Aphrodite.

"Ugh, damn, damn, and double damn," She muttered. So much work, "Can you put this in the 'Shred' pile?" She asked her friend, Olivia read the complaint. "HA! Wow that's funny." She said. She put it in the 'Shred pile' and looked back at the almost dying Victoria. "Isn't there an easier way to do this?" She whined.

"Nope not really," Olivia replied. Victoria groaned reading the next complaint which was from Aphrodite. 'Victoria prepare for the best love match making ever!' "How do they all find time to complain about tiny little frigging things? Some of the complaints yesterday were detailed stories about how one little thing was dirty or how someone screwed up. Poor Hermes messed up once and a thousand complaints came." Victoria exclaimed.

"I feel bad for him." The grey eyed girl said. "This is not cool at all." They discarded all the ones throughout the pile of papers. It took half of the day. "Ah, finally it's DONE!" Victoria yelled. Olivia took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes. "I know. I haven't done this much reading since i was five." She groaned.

Victoria laughed. "Yes we are..." Hermes walked over and the two saw the ten folders in his arms. "You have to fill out the pay checks for Dad." He said flopping all of them down. "Every worker is getting paid by 5 so you got 6 hours. I used to have to fill those out." Hermes smiled and flew off. Victoria held back her scream.

Olivia let out a grunt. "gasofhdaureja." She muttered all but real words. "Can we take a break?" She wondered out loud. Olivia grinned, "Hey, want me to get some ice cream?" She asked. Victoria looked at her, "PLEASE DO!" She shouted. Olivia laughed and flashed out. Victoria sighed, "Well, got to start."

After two hours Olivia came back and Victoria got one folder down. "We are screwed. Dad is going to punish my ass if I don't frigging finish these." Victoria felt like curling up in a ball and passing out. "Here is your moose tracks." Olivia handed her friend a three scoop sundae with chocolate sprinkles, whip cream, a cherry, and lots of walnuts. "Thank you,"

"Welcome." They started to eat their ice cream. Olivia sighed, "So, you seem to be far. How is it going?" Victoria took a bite of her moose track. "Still two other folders to go...yeah..." She said, the latter part was dreary. Olivia grinned. "If only we could do this faster...or if there were less... wait scratch that, let's just...ugh… my brain."

Victoria laughed as she continued to work. At one point the ice dream dripped and got smothered into all the paychecks in her folder. "F***," Victoria yelled. Olivia glanced over when she finished her folder. "Fudge," She exclaimed grabbing Victoria's ice cream.

"I freaking knew that SOMETHING would have to happen..." She muttered. Olivia looked at the paycheck, "Cant we just, like, whip it off. Save the trouble of getting yelled at..." Victoria shrugged, "I think it would be more trouble if this doesn't go in."

"You can't even write on them. No spell is going to fix this sadly." Olivia groaned face palming her forehead. "Maybe we can call Hera. She likes me," Victoria said. "She hates me," Olivia mumbled rolling her eyes. Victoria already had a drachma out and threw the coin into a rainbow she created with some mist.

"I think I should go when she appears." Olivia muttered as the 'phone' rang. "Nothing good will come out of this if I'm here." Victoria looked at her adviser, "That's true, but I still need you here." "To even out the blame," "Almost, Plus maybe I can trick her into just thinking this is business and nothing personal." Olivia rolled her eyes, "Huh, Right, not likely."

Hera appeared on her throne. "Hello Victoria... Olivia," She had a smile then a frown. "Hello Lady Hera," "Hi Hera," Victoria said happily. "I have an issue," Victoria said holding up the ice cream covered paychecks. "You need me to get more don't you." She asked. "Please," Victoria said desperately. "I'm telling your father about this." Hera replied. "...fine," Victoria said. "I'll be there in a bit,"

She flashed out without a word. Victoria looked at Olivia who was just standing there, "What did you do to make her mad at you? I could FEEL the chill." Victoria asked. Olivia gave a slanted grin, "Eh, mutual things...of course they were on accident. I'm always at the wrong time and the wrong place." Zeus seemed to flash in without a word, with Hera at his side smirking. "Well, can you explain what happened with the paycheck?"

Victoria looked at Olivia as if saying she hates you so she did this to me. Olivia looked back as if saying you told me to stay. "Father I have had a slight issue." Zeus looked at his two daughters as they held up the one not complete folder. "These may have gotten ice cream on them." Victoria said slowly. Zeus' eyes flashed with anger.

"The pay check got ICE CREAM on it?" He yelled. The two girls nodded. "And, may i ask why you had ice cream on the job?" Olivia piped up at this. "Well, she was as-" Hera glared at her to shut up. Zeus raised an eyebrow, "You may keep going, since Victoria seems too..." Victoria was petrified and hyperventilating. She just wanted to die right now. Zeus handed her the new paychecks. "I'll take the two folders that are done." Olivia handed them to Zeus. He looked at them. "Neat hand writing. Who did most of this?" Olivia pointed at Victoria. "Nice job darling," He flashed out Hera following. "She really does hate me." Olivia laughed. Victoria felt the need to throw up.

She slammed back into the heir throne. "I'm not dead... am I?" Olivia raised an eyebrow, "Uh, no, why?" Victoria looked at her friend, "Well...He...anger...something...never mind…" Victoria looked at the new checks, "YES!"

"You were defiantly in mental shock." Olivia mumbled. Victoria finished the checks right away. "I'm done," she cheered. Olivia smiled and Hermes walked by. Victoria handed him the paychecks. "Deliver those to dad please," Hermes rolled his eyes and walked out. "I've been meaning to ask where you got the cool shades." Olivia asked.

Hermes nodded, "Right away mini boss!" He said. Saluting and walking away. Victoria rolled her eyes, "PHSH!" She yelled down the hall. Olivia leaned back on the chair. "Now what should we do?"

"Well my shades came from Sol and sleep right here because I don't want to move." Victoria smiled putting her head on the arm of her throne. Olivia chuckled as her friend slept soundlessly. "She has been working for two days and she already is ready to die." She rolled her eyes and toke the shades off her head putting them on.

There was a loud blearing in her ear. The blond groaned, "but… but I want cake!" She muttered. "No cake, just your adviser making sure you're not going to be...in trouble...so get up already!" Victoria opened her eyes. Her friend was looking down at her...with HER sunglasses! "GIVE THOSE BACK!" She yelled.

"But they're comfortable!" "Ask one of your nephews for a pair." Victoria growled and toke them from Olivia putting them back on. "Sol said they look snazzy on me. He also said he loved me and hugged me tightly kissing my cheek." Victoria huffed. "I don't have anyone who would willingly do that." Olivia mumbled.

Victoria shook her head, "Well, what did you wake me up for?" Olivia gestured to the hall, "Well, actually I thought it would be better to not stay here and go home, you've been here for TWO days. But, Zeus also asked me to give you this." She held out her hand, Victoria took it...whatever it was. "Uh..." "It... well..." She smirked, "You can ask him yourself later." Victoria put the necklace on and shocked herself by accident scaring the shit out of her. Olivia had left giving her the go home look. She got up and started walking to Apollo's house. As she walked up the steps someone tackled her. "AUNTIE TORI YOU ARE LIVING WITH ME TOOO!" Sol screamed.

"Oomph... Yeah, I am Sol." She said grinning at the nick name. Apollo grinned, "Hey," He said. Victoria waved, "Hey back." "It looks like you already met Sol, very well actually." He said still grinning.

"Yes I met Sol very well Apollo. Have you been teaching your kids that lesson about spreading love and kindness to aunts?" Victoria said looking at her brother as he smiled. "I did actually you know how I love to spread love and family." He hugged his sister. She hugged him back laughing. "I feel the lesson was very informational." Sol smiled brightly. Victoria put her sunglasses down. "Too bright," Apollo smiled. "You two stop smiling."

"Aw, but i just want to show my love to my -"don't start with that again." She said interrupting Sol who pouted in response. "Aw, dang it" Victoria grinned and ruffled Sol's blond hair. "Nope, now, come on, let me in."

"What if I don't want to?" Apollo smirked. "Listen up Apollo if I don't get in that house in five seconds..." Victoria threatened. Sol opened the door. She smiled walking in immediately becoming frozen. "Your house is so cold," "Because we're so hot," Apollo and Sol smiled.

"Ugh, how am I going to survive?" She muttered. "Okay, do you want me to give you the grand tour?" Sol asked. He flashed another smile that made her squint her eyes again. "Fine, why not." Victoria said sighing.

Five hours later...

"And this is your room." Sol said. Victoria frowned and sucked in a greatly needed breath. "FINALLY!" She said.

"We still have another half to go," Sol frowned. Victoria waved bye and shut the door locking it. She saw her bed and fell on it. She let out a breath of relief. Just then someone came in.

"Hey, how do you like the house?" Apollo asked. Victoria tilted her head, "It's cool. Although i really don't think you should have an alligator container with the flamingo one right next to it." She said. Apollo grinned, without showing a lot of teeth luckily, "Eh, that's how I designed it, but then i realized that that wasn't a very good idea until later."

Victoria rolled her eyes grunting in pain. Apollo laid casually next to her. "You okay Tori," He asked concerned. "Perfectly fine," Victoria groaned as she shocked herself again. "Ow," She hissed shaking her arm. "Come on tell me or else I'll get Sol to get it out of you." Apollo whispered. Victoria leaned her head on his shoulder. "Do you like Artemis more than me?" Victoria asked carefully. She always wanted to know.

"I like you both the same." He answered, "You both are my sisters." He said, "And I will always love you. Even when you do get into trouble," He added, the blond grinned sheepishly. "What if you would have to choose just ONE of us, who would you, choose?"

Apollo gave her the really look. When he looked at his sister again he knew she asked that question for a reason. "What's wrong?" He asked crossing his arms. "Well... I feel you and Artemis like each other more than me. They call you the twin archers when I'm left hanging as third wheel." Victoria seemed so fragile to Apollo.

"No, that's not true Victoria. You should know that." Apollo said, looking at her in the eye. "You should know that i love both of you equally. I don't chose one over the other." He said. Victoria felt a very painful shock go through her. "YOUCH!" She yelled in pain. The shocks hurt a lot. Apollo took her wrist and started to go full speed to Zeus

"ZEUS!" Apollo shouted. "What, what happened?" Zeus came down from the steps. "Victoria seems to be getting repeated shocks of Electric bolts." Apollo said, they seemed to be getting worse now. "I'm not really an expert in this so...yeah..."

Zeus looked at his two children. Apollo was holding Victoria who continued to get shocked. She looked pale and weak. Zeus took her carefully. "Darling try to control it." He whispered soothingly. Victoria couldn't even get a grip on it. "I can't," She whispered her eyes shut tight. Artemis was walking by when she saw her two siblings. She saw Victoria near to passing out and Apollo along with Zeus whispering things to her.

Hm, family moment, she thought with a smirk. After a few deep breaths she finally got a hold. Just a weak hold, but it was enough to stop the pain of the lightning bolts going through her body. "That's my girl. Just keep breathing in deep." He said. "In and out, In and out,"

Victoria needed to sit down or lay down which seemed much better to her. With the exhaustion from complaints and paychecks to high shocks going through her entire body she was done for the next month, but she knew that wouldn't happen. She breathed in and out feeling the same with every breath. Victoria knew the shocks were coming back just by the tingling her hands got.

She suddenly felt the connection. Her eyes lit then disappeared. The tingling seemed to go away. She held out a hand. A long lightning bolt flew out of it. She grinned to herself. "Sweet," Zeus looked proudly at his heir. Suddenly, Hermes flew in; he seemed to be frantic and very...uncomfortable. "Zeus! Olivia is gone."
