HAPPY NEW YEAR! I'M UPLOADING THIS AT EXACTLY (OR VERY CLOSE TO) MIDNIGHT! SO, YOU GUYS BETTER LIKE IT OR ELSE... :D (the treat was just an excuse to use the emoticon. Why are you looking at me like that? DON'T JUDGE! :P

"Excuse me?" This time I yanked her hair, but it was accidental as opposed to on purpose.

"Ow! What was that for?"

"Percy the son of Poseidon and Clarisse the daughter of Ares?" I was now really scared. Whatever was wrong with Aphrodite was making her senile. "But what about Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena? You always said that Percy and Annabeth were meant to be together! You always referred to them as your favorite demigod pairs! And Percy and Clarissa practically hate each other!" I knew I was rambling, but I was so scared I couldn't help it.

Aphrodite looked confused. "Why would I ever put those two together?"

And that, my friends, was the final straw. "Apollo!" I screamed while running out of the room. "Apollo! Help! Come quick! APOLLOOOOOOO!"

"Gods, you have a loud voice."

The voice came from behind me. I turned around and saw Apollo, looking like he usually did- a college student wearing jeans, loafers and a button up shirt. Focus, Violet, focus! Don't think about…

Apollo interrupted my 'don't-focus-on-Apollo-rant', "What do you want?" He was rubbing his ear. I didn't blame him; I can be very loud when I want to be- which isn't often.

I was so happy I almost cried. In fact, I could feel my eyes watering.

"Whoa, Violet. Are you okay?" Apollo looked worried.

Gods he's cute. Whoa, wait! Snap out of it! "Apollo, its Aphrodite! Come quick!" I grabbed his hand and ran off to the room. Apollo stumbled, but I kept going, practically dragging him until he regained his footing.

We finally reached the room.

"What was that- Oh," Apollo looked serious and like he was trying not to laugh at the same time. "My gods. What happened?" His brown eyes looked into my violet eyes asking many questions.

"I don't know." I looked at Aphrodite. She was twirling around, half her hair extremely greasy and blue, no wait, silver, while the other half extremely whacky. It would have been funny if I wasn't so scarred. Please don't let this be contagious! Please, please, please, please…

Apollo, again, interrupted my desperate pray. "Help me take her to the infirmary." Slowly, he started walking towards Aphrodite.

"We have an infirmary?" I mused quietly to myself while walking after Apollo.

It didn't take very long to convince her. We just told her that we needed her help in couple matching and she followed us rather eagerly. I shuddered at the thought of Aphrodite making couples in this state of mind.

Once we got to the infirmary, I sat on the waiting bench while Apollo took her inside the room where she was 'matching couples'. When Aphrodite got situated, Apollo came to the waiting bench, sat down, and turned to face me. I tried not to think about his eyes too much; it was hard.

"What happened first?"

"Her hair." We both glanced at her hair through the window behind us. "Um, it looked like the non-greasy type first."

Apollo nodded. "And then what?"

"Then…" I made the mistake of looking into his eyes. My mind went blank. What was I saying again?

"After the wacky hair…" Apollo waved his hand in a 'carry on' motion.

I pulled my eyes away from his big brown ones and onto his forehead. "Then she had a, um, rather peculiar taste in clothes and makeup and then finally her match-making skills went wacko." I leaned into his ear and whispered, "She paired Percy with Clarisse."

Apollo snickered.

I gave Apollo my 'I'm-not-lying-so-stop-laughing-because-you-look-like-an-idiot' stare.

He stopped and, looking slightly paler, said, "Thanks, I'll be right back." He stood up, his leg brushing against mine.

"Wait, Apollo." He turned. I took a deep breath and while, unfortunately, blushing asked, "Do you think it's contagious?"

Apollo seemed to think for a minute, "I sure hope not." Then he turned and walked into the room to do...whatever it is that he does.

Well that was reassuring… I thought miserably.

It took less than ten minutes. The whole time he was in the I kept thinking about what I would do if it was contagious, then I would think about Apollo, then I would scold myself and go back to fretting about what I would act like if I got infected. This went on a continuous cycle until Apollo- for the third time- interrupted my thoughts. He exited the room looking like he was trying not to laugh.

"I can tell you it's not contagious or deadly." He was standing right beside me.

"Thank gods!" I was so relived I jumped up off the bench and hugged him. As soon as I realized what I did, I let go blushing fiercely. Apollo seemed to be blushing to. I quickly changed the subject.

"So then what's wrong with her?"

Apollo looked happy to have a change in subject, in fact he stopped blushing almost immediately I wasn't sure he blushed in the beginning at all. A smile crept onto his face.

"Come and see."

So what's wrong with her? Find out tomorrow! Or maybe later on in the day... I just realized that I update like everyday. I'm so nice to you guys. And yet... - Haha, I gave you a cliffhanger! I'm so evil… muahahahahahahaha :D
