I don't own PJO.

After Zeus and Hades tried to kill each other about five times, Nico and Thalia had thought it was best to ban them to different time out corners. Hades had taken the opportunity to take a small nap, but Zeus sat with his arms crossed pouting like a little child.

The sight made Nico chuckle a bit. "How are you Lady Hestia?" he asked. "This has to be the most interesting day you've had in a while."

"I'm fine, thank you. You and your wife are very sweet."

He laughed, "Thals? Sweet? Don't get used to it, it's just the pregnancy hormones."

"Ha Death Breath, and you're a freaking ray of sunshine?" Thalia asked.

He stuck his tongue out and his wife before turning back to the goddess. "Or it might just be that you're our favorite aunt." He gave Hestia a small smile. "I met you here at camp; you've always been real nice to me."

Thalia nodded. "I need to ask you how you do that."

"That's it!" Zeus said, "I'm the god of the heavens. I will not stand for this 'time out'!"

Hades groaned, "Shut up, I was having a pleasant napping experience."

Zeus's grey eyes flashed murderously."You dare speak to me in that manner?"

"You're my little brother; I can say whatever I want to you."

Hestia cleared her throat. "Calm down you two. I will not have any fighting, with a pregnant woman around."

Zeus rolled his eyes dramatically, before shooting both Nico and Hades a glare. "If my daughter wasn't here, I wouldn't hesitate to blow this entire place up."

"Dad, sit down and shut up. It's not like you haven't threatened them both before," Thalia said. Her father looked around helplessly for his master bolt. "You don't have any weapons on you anyway; we'd rather not have anyone blow up."

He and his brother looked up alarmed. "What?" Hades asked. "Who has them?"

"We left that up to Mel. I think she had given them to Apollo."

Nico wished they had been drinking water, so he could see the spit take. "What?" they shouted in unison.

"You left that idiot in charge of the most powerful weapons in the universe?!"

Thalia held up her hands. "Hey, blame her. I think you'll be fine though."

"Your wives might have them instead," Nico pointed out.

Hades visibly relaxed, "Persephone, I think it'll be fine with her." However his brother kept looking up to the sky like he expected a lightning bolt to come down and hit him.

"I'm sure she's got everything under control," Hades reasoned.

Nico nodded. "If the spirits act up, she'll just turn them into dandelions." Hestia thought it sounded like the boy spoke from experience.

"Still bitter over that?" Thalia asked.

He rolled his eyes. "Please my dear step-mother has tried to make up for it. The only thing she hates about me is my mother."

A name appeared in Hades's mind, Maria. "Then he tries to make it up to her, but all she can say is he always had a thing for European women."

Thalia laughed, "She's European, technically."

"I think I remember," Hades whispered. He looked toward his brother. "You killed her. And you tried to kill my children."

Zeus blinked. "Umm, no I didn't."

His brother touched his forehead lightly. He was dizzy and his head hurt. Nico handed him a chunk of ambrosia. "Eat this and lie down, you'll feel better soon."

"No, I think I'll go home," Hades said softly. "The company is preferable."

He shadow travelled away with his ambrosia slice. Hestia sighed and shook her head. The family hadn't gotten any more functional in recent times.

Nico sighed; those two would not get along for anything. He gave Hestia a sympathetic look; she would have to deal with this for much longer than he would. Thalia sat next to him on the couch and ruffled his hair much to her father's disappointment.

"How are you holding up?" Nico asked her. "Seems like a bit too much stress for a pregnant woman."

She shook her head. "I'm fine; it's them I'm worried about." She smiled. "When they find out certain things, they might flip."

Zeus shot a glare in their direction. "I'm not crazy!"

"We didn't say you were Dad. You just might get mad if you knew all the times the Ancient Laws have been broken."

"What?" He looked furious, "Who?"

Thalia smiled slightly. "Well let's see Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, Athena…"

His forehead scrunched in pain, "Yeah. They broke the rules didn't they! Direct interference, breaking their vows!"

Hestia tilted her head, "Athena and Artemis broke their vows? I can't say I surprised."

"You broke them too, Dad."

He massaged his forehead. "Stupid Laws." Thalia pressed a cold glass of nectar into his hands. He drank it quickly before collapsing in his seat.

Hestia looked at him concerned. "Will they both be all right?"

Nico shrugged. "We don't know. It's all a theory, but Mel's very smart if her plan doesn't work nobody's will."

"Is she Athena's?" They nodded. "You did say her father was Poseidon, correct?"

The couple nodded with a small laugh. "You could say they surprised us all."

"Poseidon always told me he hoped to marry a smart, beautiful girl. Whenever I asked him why he would tell me this, he would simply say that hoped survived best at the hearth with me."

Nico nodded like he had heard it before. In fact, Hestia believed she had told somebody that not long ago. The thought of hope reminded her of Pandora, and then of a teenage boy with dark green eyes like her brother. "I think I can remember. Father had…of course how did we not see it coming? And Grandmother…"

Nico handed her a piece of ambrosia, and begun to lea her away. "Here, you can go lie down in our room. Just call if you need anything."

Ring!

Ireland looked at her phone and blinked. "Cheyenne, your phone is calling me."

"You threw it outside, like half an hour ago."

"I know." Something in the back of her mind told her not to answer, but maybe she had just seen too many scary movies. She looked to her mother who hadn't made any progress and sighed, before answering her phone. "Hello?"

"Good day, Miss Ireland."

"Ethan?" she asked curiously. "Why do you have my sister's phone?"

"Your brother Connor gave it to me, he said he found it."

She shook her head. "I threw it out a window." She could virtually see him arch his eyebrow. "Where are you? I think we'll come retrieve it."

"In the sword-fighting arena, it's quite interesting. Ares is trying to shoot Percy with a bow and arrow, and not succeeding."

"We'll be right there." She paused a moment. "Ethan? You do know half-bloods aren't supposed to use cell phones, right? It makes it easier for monsters to find you."

He cursed, "We're not?" However he didn't sound scared of being attacked by monsters, but more upset at failing at being a demigod. This only confirmed her suspicions that there was something odd about him.

"We will bring Artemis around in a second." They both hung up.

The arena was an amusing sight. In order to ensure her father lost, Clarisse had convinced him that the bow and arrow was the best weapon for defeating Percy. All though in reality, after a particularly bad disagreement, Apollo had cursed him to be a horrible shot.

Sadly though, the defeat was taking time as Percy was trying to avoid the ricocheting arrows. This annoyed Clarisse greatly. "Hurry up!"

The party of three had to laugh at the scene in front of them. Ethan was sitting in a tree away from the crowd. "Yo!" Ireland called. He hopped down gracefully. "Who's winning?"

"It's more of a draw," he said, fishing Cheyenne's phone out of his pocket. He seemed to look warily at Artemis, like he had met her before and it had not gone well. He also acted like she had betrayed him somehow.

Cheyenne didn't notice and happily took her phone, so she could feed her beloved. Sometimes her sister swore she loved the Sim version better than her real boyfriend.

They heard a loud grunt, and all turned toward the arena. Percy had pinned Ares down and was standing with one foot on his chest. "Clarisse, I think he remembers now!"

"Really Prissy, I wouldn't have guessed by the way he's cursing your full name. I'll get the ambrosia." Percy dusted off his jeans and began to walk away. Ares with a huff, stood up and pulled back the string releasing an arrow that…

A/N:

Okay, I love the Newlywed Game. And now I really want to make a demigod and godly TV show that's similar.

They would be two separate stories and wouldn't be started till about Christmas or later. Each of the shows would have four couples, not all of them are newlyweds, because if it doesn't allow as much variety.

Godly: Pothena, Hertames, Zera, and Hasephone.

Demigod: Percabeth, Thalico, Tratie, and either Leyna or Jasper. Most likely Leyna.

Watcha think?

Also in case you're curious, Ireland and Cheyenne are actually two non-related people in my theater class, they really wanted to be in this story. So I let them.
