The next morning after the visit from Hera, Ares was bugging Apollo and Hephaestus with his sickness.
"Seriously somebody get over here and scratch my back." Ares whined.
"One: you are contagious. Two You can't scratch or you'll get sores and Aphrodite will really look at you like a monster is gnawing on your head." Apollo said.
"Three:You stole my wife" Hephaestus added bitterly.
"Oh come on man get over it, what about all the good things that I've done for you. Like stopped that giant from crushing to a million pieces." Ares countered. "I did that for you because you are my brother and Zeus and Hera hate us both. But I guess everybody hates me so I'm not a credible source. I'm gonna go be sick in the living room maybe Aunt Hestia will make me some chocolate chip waffles."
Ares left the room leaving Hephaestus and Apollo to think about what he said.
"I don't know what he means he and Hermes are my favorite." Apollo said following after Ares.
Apollo made it half way to the kitchen he heard Aphrodite scream. The male gods except Ares scrambled to the goddesses room. They came in and saw Aphrodite and Athena standing on one side of the room and Artemis who had chicken pox on the other side.
"Sorry little sis your gonna have to be quarantined too" Apollo said.
"I'm not your little sister and Aphrodite will you please stop screaming. I'm leaving, I'm leaving." Artemis said walking out to find Ares.
All the gods met up in the kitchen and had breakfast. Aphrodite sat in the living room to avoid the sick people.
"Okay healthy people it's time for school." Hestia said.
The healthy gods grabbed their backpacks and got on the bus. The Ares and Artemis said bye to them.
"I'll bring you your homework Ares" Athena said.
"Don't you dare" he called back but she just smirked at him as the bus pulled off.
"So what do you want to do Ares."
"We could prank call the other Olympians" he replied.
"Only if we can get Poseidon first" Artemis said.
They went inside and got the phone.
On Olympus
Poseidon was sitting in the throne room with the other remaining Olympians when his phone rang.
"Hello, you...you want what."
"What do you mean you want to buy some Trident"
"Who is this"
"Why would anyone want that much gum"
"Look you have the wrong number."
Poseidon hung up frustrated. Then his phone rand again.
"Yes" he answered annoyed.
"For the last time I do not sell gum."
"Hermes is this you?"
"Dude how would i call you if I'm in the room." Hermes replied from his throne.
Poseidon hung up again fuming. He was he Lord of the seas he did not sell gum. His phone rang again.
"WHAT, WHAT DO YOU WANT" Poseidon screamed into the phone.
Then all the color drained from his face.
"No...no dear I didn't know it was you. I swear."
"But, but, but"
He sighed "Yes dear" and hung up.
"Somebodies in trouble" Hermes sang.
"Shut up I know it was you Hermes. Poseidon yelled.
"I didn't do it you old geezer stop blaming me." Hermes said getting up.
"Enough don't make me send you two to earth too" Zeus said.
At the house
"That wasn't really funny" Artemis said.
"It wasn't supposed to be around this time everyday his wife usually calls him" Ares said.
"So your plan was to get him in trouble with his wife." Artemis asked.
"Yup" he said smiling "Now we call Hermes.
"Is Poseidon in trouble."
"Yeah dude, I got it on tape for you."
"Stop saying dude." Artemis cut in "You've been saying that ever since you had a crush on that skater chick."
Hermes sighed loud.
"wait how did you know to record it." Ares asked.
"I have cameras all over Olympus. Hermes said.
"Why"
"Well I got tired of missing out on all of the good stuff while I was delivering the mail" Hermes said "Oh by the way I kind of forgot to give Clarisse your letter I'll deliver tomorrow."
"All this time I thought she was ignoring me." Ares said.
"Nope, oh by the way Artemis, your hunters told me that they were coming to visit you next chapter"
"Oh okay,wait what do you mean next chapter." Artemis said.
"Nothing bye" Hermes hung up to avoid more questions.
