A/N: So you guys rock! Thanks for sticking with me, since this is one of my first stories =). Also, since I forgot in all my other chapters, I don't own PJO. Hey, by the way, whenever you guys PM your favorite author, do you guys always feel like "What if they think I'm stupid? What if they don't like what I'm saying?" I do. Yay! I'm so happy! It's finally winter break! That means more updates. Probably. I'll be going to my friends' houses to watch movies. See, two of my best friends live near me, so we go to each others' houses a lot. Anyway, I know that you guys don't want to hear me blabbering about my life, so here's the story:

It was February 14th. Ah, I just loved Valentine's Day! I was out in my garden, doing what I always do: planting and growing flowers. Even though it was still winter down in the mortal world, in Mount Olympus it was spring. I was in my garden planting red roses here and there. Did you know that red roses meant love? That fits for today. Oh, yeah! I'm Demeter, Greek goddess of agriculture, but I love planting flowers, because my daughter, Persephone (who was kidnapped by that scumbag, Hades) was the goddess of spring, therefore she loves flowers. And whatever my darling Persephone loves, I love.

Anyways, I smiled at all the couples laughing and skipping through my garden. I'm not one for romance; that's usually Aphrodite's category, but they were all so cute! I currently didn't have a lover, so I focused all my attention on my garden. I walked up to a particularly boring part of my garden and planted Camellias, Gloxinias, Orchids, and more roses. Today was my day to plant only things to do with Love. Doesn't that word just make you feel all happy and gooey inside? It just makes you want to jump up and squeal! Oh, dear gods. I'm sounding like Aphrodite.

I laughed and skipped. Love was in the air! I kept focusing on that one area when suddenly I heard a buzzing noise near my ear. Oh, it was just another fly. There were a bunch of them flying around. I just swatted it away.

"Buzzzz…buzzz…"

Hmmmm…this fly was pretty persistent.

"Buzzzz…buzzzzz...BUZZZZZ…"

Ow. That was loud.

"Fly! You! The one that's buzzing near my ear! Get out of my garden and go eat some more cereal!" I shouted.

"Buzzzzz….buzzzz…."

Oh, jeez. This fly was just asking for it.

"You get back here, you fly!" I yelled as I chased it around the garden. I looked around for a weapon to hit it with. Hmmmm… there was a ceramic vase…

"Fly? Oh, darling, Fly?" I yelled softly.

"Buzzzz…buzzzzz…"

"Hey, Fly! I have a surprise for you!" I shouted, running around my maze of flowers.

I turned the corner and saw the fly sitting on one of my benches. Aw, poor little bug, just doing what he's supposed to do; going around, buzzing and annoying people. Aw, who am I kidding?

"Die, Fly, Die!" I yelled as I slammed the vase down on the bench. Ceramic pieces shattered everywhere, but at least I hit the dang fly.

"I got it, I got it! Wahoo! I hit the fly! Ha, I'm even better then Zeus! Take that, Poseidon!"

Yeah, I knew all about that fly. The one that made those nincompoops destroy stuff, like their cabins at Camp, or their temples. Yup, I still tried to kill that fly. That's how awesome I am! Not really, I just hated that fly.

"Buzzzz…buzzzzz…"

No! I didn't kill it! No, no, no, no! Aw! Dang it! What did we have to do? Was it immortal or something?

"Buzzzz…buzzzz…"

"ARGH!" I shouted.

The fly turned the corner. I chased it.

"Buzzzzz…buzzzzzz…"

"You get back here, you incompetent imbecile!" I screamed.

Couples were staring and whispering. I paused for a moment.

"Minor gods, I strongly advise you to turn away before I turn you all into flies-wait, I take that back. Before I turn you into frogs and dump you into the pond!" I said, glaring at them. The younger gods were always pretty nosy.

I spun around. Where'd the fly go?

"Buzzzzzzzz…buzzzzzzzzz…"

Aha! It was behind another vase.

"Die!" I grabbed the closest thing to me. Unfortunately, that was one of my flowers. I grabbed an Orchid and quietly sneaked over. The fly was sitting on the edge of the pot. I slammed it down on the pot.

"Crash!" The vase had fallen down and shattered. Ooo. I'd have to clean that up.

Dang! I'd lost the fly! I did a quick 360, only to see the fly was gone.

One of the minor gods quickly ran up to me.

"Demeter, don't move! There's a fly on your head!"

I quickly looked up, not moving my head, but my eyes.

"Buzzzzzzzz...buzzzzzzzzzz…"

I slowly turned around and grabbed another vase. I brought it up to my head.

"What're you-"The younger god said before I cut her off with the shattering of the vase on my head.

Ow.

"Is it dead? Is it dead?" I asked the younger god, jumping up and down.

"Buzzzzzzz…buzzzzz…"

I guess not.

My head was throbbing, but there was no ichor coming out.

"I give up!" I shouted at the fly.

There was no response. I bet it was dead! Finally! Though, how it had died when it was alive a second ago, I had no idea. Maybe it committed fly suicide.

The minor goddess stared at me.

"Well… I gotta, uh, go talk to… someone who's not mental…Later, dude!"

Humph, minor gods. Thinking they were all that.

I turned around to survey my garden. There was glass shattered everywhere; tons of my flowers were on the floor, crumpled. Dang. This was a disaster! I'd spend half the year trying to plant all of those!

"Whoa, this is pretty bad! But, not as bad as what happened when Zeus tried to kill that fly." I turned around.

There was Hermes in his jogging suit, smirking.

"What're you doing here, Hermes?" I asked, glaring at him.

"Selling Girl-Scout cookies. Want some? The Samoa's are terrific!" (Yes, I stole that from Maximum Ride. I couldn't help it…I might not have gotten that word for word…Back to the story!)

"Whatever. Get out of here." I said.

I turned around. This was going to take a long time to clean up. There was water everywhere, probably from the broken fountain. The hedges that were cut in the shape of birds and mice were all mess up. I sat down on a bench and put my head in my hands.

"Buzzzzzzzzz…buzzzzzzzzz…"

A/N: Sorry it took so long to update! Please forgive me! But I'm not one of those authors who update like 5 times a day. Actually, those authors annoy me. Sorry it's so short! Anyways, leave a review!
