Hey guys, sorry it took so long for me to update. First two weeks of the school term was hectic. I had over twenty assignments!
Anyways, the epilogue is finally here! :)
Thanks to everyone who read/reviewed/followed/favourite-d.
Disclaimer:
I do not own anything but the plot. The rest belongs to Rick Riordan.
Percy and Annabeth walked side by side along Long Island. "So, your father, Hades and Zeus got turned into guinea pigs?" asked Annabeth. "Yeah, but you don't believe me right?" said Percy. Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Of course I believe you Seaweed Brain, the same thing happen to me also," she said. "Oh alright….wait what?" said Percy. "Aphrodite turned my mum into an owl for a week and we spent time with each other. And when the week was over, my mum turned Aphrodite into a peacock for that," said Annabeth. "What about Apollo and Hermes?" Percy grinned. "Well they…..
A week before….
The three demigods and their fathers (in human form) were enjoying a beach sunset. They laughed and joked about the guinea pig incident. Then a certain seaweed-brain decided to ask something. "Hey, I was just wondering…..what happened to Apollo and Hermes?" asked Percy. Hades let out a very loud laugh while the other two gods smirked. "Oh well, they are now enjoying the lives of a cow and a racoon," said Hades. Percy, Nico and Thalia stared in shock before laughing along.
One month before…
Hermes was reclining beach chair while drinking a smoothie from a pineapple-cup thing. Apollo, on the other hand, was chasing some bikini clad babes. Some things never change. Anyway, Hermes phone started ringing. "Uhgh, must the ringtone be so loud? I have always hated 'Oppa Gangnam Style'," complained George. "Quiet George, someone important is calling," said Martha.
"Who is it?" ask Hermes. "Hades," answered Martha nonchalantly. Hermes started choking on the coconut and banana fusion his was drinking. "Rats! He found us," he said. "Did somebody say 'rats'? Asked George enthusiastically. "No you idiot! He meant that as a figure of speech," said Martha. "Ohhh," said a disappointed George.
Hermes pressed the 'end call' button and quickly rushed to wherever Apollo was. He found Apollo kissing some poor soul. He rushed and grabbed Apollo's arm and dragged him away. "Call me!" said Apollo to his victim. Then he turned to Hermes. "Where are we going?" he asked. "I don't know! I told you we should have gone to the Bahamas and not Hawaii. Hades just called me," said Hermes. "Did you answer the call?" asked Apollo. "What kind of stupid question is that? Of course I did not answer it!" yelled Hermes.
At that moment, the Big Three flashed in. They all had stern looks on their faces. "Why didn't you answer my call?" asked Hades. Hermes gulped. "Um, it's because the last time someone answered your phone call, he became deaf?" said Hermes sheepishly. Hades glared at him. Zeus gave a loud cough to turn everyone's attention to him because he was a drama queen.
"Hermes and Apollo," he boomed. "You shall be punished for what you have done. But since you have got our children and us closer together, your punishment shall be lowered." Hermes and Apollo gave a huge sigh of relief. "The both of you shall not be thrown to Tartarus as what Hades suggested but shall be turned into a bull and a racoon respectively for a month," announced Zeus. "Whaaaat!" yelled Hermes and Apollo before a flash of light enveloped them.
Apollo ended up in a green pasture full of cows. One of them 'moo-ed' at him appreciatively; her intensions very clear. Apollo gulped in fear. Hermes, however, was thrown into a suburb. It's not so bad, thought Hermes. But then, he saw it. Those beautiful dents rotten smell. Hermes just could not resist himself. He ran to the garbage can and rummage through it.
Back to the present….
Annabeth and Percy laughed together while holding hands. Thanks to those pranksters and Aphrodite, their parent-child relationship had gotten better.
Hermes and Apollo however, were scarred for the rest of their immortal lives. Apollo now has cattle phobia while Hermes never wanted to hear the word 'garbage'ever again. As for Aphrodite, she was too dumb to notice the changes anyway.
Well, that's the end for Guinea Pigs For A Week.
Thanks to those who have read this far! :)
