Summary: Hestia has a hard time keeping the fire on Mount Olympus going with everyone fighting and feeling down.

Or will the fire be put out forever?

Rated: T

Parings: Zeus/Hera, Ares/Aphrodite, Percy/Annabeth, maybe Athena and Poseidon if I feel like it.

Disclaimer: I don't, and therefore never will, own the Percy Jackson series and the Heroes of Olympus series! Although I wish I did.

Aphrodite had a hard time sleeping. She kept tossing and turning that Hera, her roommate, had to tell her to stop. ALL the gods were going shopping! And she would get to chose their outfits! She sat up in bed and surveyed the room. Her side of the room was nice and tidy. Her side of the walls were painted hot pink and the walls were covered with her favorite tragic love stories; like Helen of Troy, and many others. She had light pink curtains over the window. On the wooden floor she had a couple heart-shaped rugs with many shades of red and pink. Her white vanity had a huge mirror with a couple pictures of her and Ares. The vanity was barely visible under makeup and lipstick. She had a walk-in closet, magically installed to fit her needs. Her bed was a queen sized one, the sheets were hot pink, and she had red and pink heart-shaped pillows. On Hera's side, the walls were purple and full of pictures of her and Zeus. She had a small desk, not like Hera ever used it, and a dresser that fit all her clothes into. Her bed was twin sized with dark purple sheets and pillows. Hera had one really light purple rug that was really soft. But unlike a queen, Hera's side of the room was a complete mess.

"I need my beauty sleep," Hera complained whenever Aphrodite woke her up. Aphrodite looked at her and sighed. 'Hera,' she thought. 'You need a bit more than that to be defined as beautiful.' Aphrodite didn't want to be mean, but it was true. Hera had straight light brown hair, worn in a bun, and the same color eyes. She wasn't tall, but not short, taller than Aphrodite though, but Hera knew how to accesoirize. She lay back down and buried herself bewteen her pillows. Now that she was awake, she may as well play with some lovers. She searched on her phone, hot pink case by the way, and was disappointed to see that there was no one she could mess with.

"What about someone who totally hates someone else and then I can try to..."

"Dammit Aphrodite!" An annoyed Hera mumbled, sitting up in her bed. "Shut up! It's only three!"

"Oh go back to sleep Hera! You don't get it!"

"I understand sleeping so let me do it!" Hera said, rolling her eyes. "Grab your phone, put on some makeup, or whatever normal teens do these days."

"THEY GO SHOPPING!"

"NO!"

"Hestia said it herself!"

"Urghhh!" Hera fell back on her bed. Aphrodite pouted.

"It'll be fun!" She insisted. Hera just snored.

A very long five hours later, the gods were awoken very rudely by screaming. Aphrodite was running up the hallway in her high heels squealing "Up! All of you! It's SHOPPING TIME!" After a few minutes of being yelled at, the gods slowly got dressed and headed downstairs.

"Okay! Let's go!" Aphrodite said, jumping out the door.

"Dite, what about breakfast?" Poseidon growled.

"I despise absolutely agreeing with Poseidon," Athena nodded. "But skipping breakfast can lead to an unbalanced diet. And an unbalanced diet can lead to…"

"Someone's missing!" Zeus pointed out.

"If that's what you mean by someone dying then yes." Athena shrugged.

"No! Someone is actually missing!" Zeus insisted.

"Hephaestus!" Ares shouted.

"Imma right heyar!" A rusty voice called out.

"Hades! That cereal hater!" Demeter yelled. Aphrodite scrunched up her face angrily. She disappeared inside the apartment and came out three minutes later pulling a grumpy, but otherwise fully-dressed, Hades by the ear.

"Okay!" Aphrodite squealed, jumping out the door again. "We can leave now!" The other gods reluctantly followed her. Poseidon was the last, still grumbling about his breakfast.

"Oh my Gods! Yes, yes, yes. That looks so adorable on you!" Aphrodite squealed, clasping her hands together. She was studying Demeter, who was trying on one of her outfits. Demeter had twisted brown golden hair that touched her shoulders. She had big green eyes and a ton of freckles on her nose. Her lips were pulled into a smile.

"You really think so?" She asked Aphrodite. Demeter was wearing a green crop top, embroidered with leave patterns and designs, jean shorts and brown boots. She was studying herself in a mirror.

"Sooo?" Demeter begged. "Can I please get it?"

"It's past my inspection," Aphrodite shrugged, giving Demeter her credit card. "Charge it on here. Say hey to Matt for me!"

"Matt?" Demeter looked around her. "Who the heck is Matt?"

"Some mortal guy I dated. He manages the front desk," Aphrodite said, waving her out of the changing rooms. "Okay! NEXT!" Hermes rolled his eyes and entered the changing room entrance.

"Was," Hermes checked his watch. "Five hours really necessary for shopping?"

"Yes! Anyways you are the last one." Aphrodite gave Hermes his clothes and he disappeared inside the changing rooms. He came out seconds later, wearing a white tee-shirt, jeans and black converses.

"Can I go now?" He whined. Aphrodite rolled her eyes and waved him out. When he disapeared out the door, she thought she heard him say: "Shopping is useless."

"No it isn't!" She argued. She gathered all her outfits in her hands and went to join the other gods at the food court.

She settled down in the food court where the gods were snacking on Tim Hortons and McDonalds. She nibbled a fry. The other gods had already scared all the mortals so the food court was empty. Hephaestus was making things out of the straw wrappers. Zeus and Hera were arguing. Hermes and Ares were laughing as Demeter made cereal appear out of midair and hit Hades with it. Poseidon was looking at Athena like a lovesick puppy, but Athena was reading and didn't seem to notice.

"Apollo! Give it back!" Someone screamed. The gods turned to look at the oncomers. Apollo flew through the room, Artemis chasing him.

"Say what I told you to say!" He taunted, swinging Artemis' favorite bow.

"GIVE IT BACK!" Artemis screamed, tears slowly coming down her face.

"SAY IT!" Apollo narrowed his eyes. He lit himself on fire.

"NO!" Artemis cried, tears streaming down her face as the other gods looked on. "THAT'S THE ONLY THING I HAVE LEFT FROM MOM! APOLLO PLEASE, PLEASE! PLEASE DON'T!"

"Then say it," Apollo rolled his eyes. "You obviously don't want it back that much!"

"I AM APOLLO'S LITTLE SISTER ARTIE!" Artemis cried, dropping to the ground. Apollo extinguished himself and looked down at the mess that was Artemis with... guilt? Regret? "I AM THE YOUNGEST AND I ALWAYS WILL BE! I AM APOLLO'S BABY SISTER!" Apollo tossed her the bow and it landed a couple inched away from her. Artemis grabbed it, shaking violently, and teleported out of the food court.

"Let's just go," Zeus said, breaking the silence. "The mall will close soon."

Apollo teleported inside the apartment. He saw all the other gods give him evil looks. He felt bad. He didn't want to make Artemis cry. He just wanted to make a joke that's all. Everyone went their own way, to their rooms or just away from Apollo in general. Apollo wanted to cry. He walked over to the living room and noticed that Artemis was sleeping peacefully on the couch. He smiled. Apollo picked up his sister, who was snuggling with her bow, and brough her into their room. He soundlessly put her down on her bed and smiled again. She was so cute when she sleeped. Or really whenever she didn't want to kill him.

"Feel guilty?" Said a voice from the doorway. Apollo jumped and saw that Hermes was looking down at the sleeping Artemis.

"Yeah," Apollo sighed unhappily. "She won't talk to me probably. Remember when she wouldn't talk to me for a century after I killed Orion. It was the hardest century of my immortal life."

"You better get some sleep," Hermes suggested. "We have our first day tommorow." He walked out, leaving Apollo alone. Apollo fell asleep, staring at the sleeping Artemis.

So sorry that this chapter took so long to come out! I got caught up in school work and my computer broke. I will try to post more often of course, but please bear with me!
