A/N: Oh hi. So... uhm... MONDAY WAS ROBERT PATTINSON'S BIRTHDAY ISN'T IT AWESOME? It was 13th of May, right? I'm pretty sure my calendar didn't get it wrong, then two days later which is today would be... *checks calendar again* MY BIRTHDAY! Oh goodness, I'm getting forgetful. *sighs*

My Favorite Harvard FML Quote: I was arguing with a 14-year-old creationist on a Disqus thread. The thread is now locked, so I'll never have a chance to explain to him why he doesn't understand Big Bang nucleosynthesis at all. I am more upset about this than I am about bombing my first pset of the semester. FML

"No, I did not steal your sandwich! I was borrowing it... and taking a few bites!" Athena shot back at Hermes who accused her of... well... stealing his egg mayo sandwich.

"Definition: I stole a few bites from your sandwich! Stole!" Hermes snapped. "I'm the god of thieves, and you most certainly did steal my sandwich — even if it was only a few bites."

Athena narrowed her stormy grey eyes at him. "Did not!"

Hermes slammed the butt of his caduceus against the armrest of his throne. "Admit it, Athena!"

"I will not admit it as I have not done that crime!" Athena hissed. "As if you can even call it a crime, for goodness sake!" She looked helplessly at Grandfather. "Father, tell me — I am telling the truth, right?"

"No, Father! Do not listen to her!" Hermes urged, frowning in annoyance.

"Silence!" Grandfather shouted, managing to keep the peace back into the room. "Fighting over a silly sandwich is not important enough to require my attention! Now please, can we just take a rest now?" When no one said a word, he sighed, relieved. "Good! Now, as some of you have realized, Bella is here. She is going to study on how the meetings come to a peaceful close, and how to manage your jobs. After this meeting has finished, I expect her answer."

"A–After the meeting?" I stuttered.

"Yes, Bella."

"Grandfather, you need to give me some time in the mortal world. You see, I have not done many things and people need me, so please, Grandfather — more time. I'll tell you when I want to be a goddess, but not now."

Grandfather gave it a thought, scratching his long beard. "Well, of course, my dearest granddaughter. Your latest dateline is next December, which is next year. Or else the offer is gone." He looked up at everyone, his voice booming loud. "Now, we need a plan. A strategy. Prometheus is standing strong, and he would most obviously get into mortals' minds and tell them to attack our demigod children. We need a plan. We need to fight Prometheus to destroy him."

"Uh... Father? Isn't this when I come in?" Athena spoke up, raising her hand slightly. When Grandfather nodded, gesturing to her to continue, she complied. "There will be something that controls the humans — perhaps a... a weapon. If we can destroy it, we can stop him. After that, we can get Morpheus to get the humans to sleep and when they wake up, they won't remember..."

Athena's plan was long that even Aphrodite who was sitting beside me was updating me with the latest entertainment news in Hollywood.

"Mother?"

"... and so I think they won't get back together, like, seriously, even E! News said that and — ooh, yes?" She responded.

"Will you please just keep quiet and listen? We're trying to save ourselves here," I told her.

"Save ourselves... right. I think I get it." She nodded and finally shut up.

"... and when he comes out of his hiding spot, bam! Ares can take the first punch in his face and we trap Prometheus in a net that you, Hephaestus, to make. We need it strong and flexible," she pointed to the gods one by one and told them what were their parts in the plan. She pointedly look at Aphrodite and Aphrodite sat up at attention. "Aphrodite, we need you to charmspeak him to get the location of his mind-controlling weapon. We will need you for interrogating people."

"On it, Athena," Aphrodite saluted her and Athena smiled.

After the meeting when everyone was walking back to their palaces, Athena approached us.

"Bella! Aphrodite! So what do you two think of the plan?" She asked.

"I think it's great but... there will definitely be monsters attacking. The demigods will be handling that, right?"

"Of course," she replied. "Our children will always have a part in the plan."

"Good to know," I nodded. "I shall tell the camp once I've arrived."

"Aphrodite, I just want to tell you that you are a very important piece in my plan, so I'm glad you were paying attention." Athena told her, which she beamed with joy.

"I'm glad too!" She looked at me as se spoke with Athena. "Bella pretty much helped me concentrate on it. If you could give me a blueprint copy of your plan, I think it would be helpful, darling."

Athena's eyes lightened up. "Yes! It'll be in your mailbox when you get home. When did you suddenly become so interested, Aphrodite?"

"It's been a long time since I've been interested with plans like this. Just thought you'd need my initiative." Aphrodite shrugged in reply.

"Bella, how is Leonardo doing? Is he recovering?"

"I guess you could say that. I need to feed him tonight, and he'll keep me up for a very long time." I chuckled.

"Once again, I'm sorry for making you take care of him when you're most needed."

"It's okay, Aunt Athena. He really is cute. I'll try to take good care of him." I said.

"Thank you, niece." She said. She nodded at Aphrodite and left to her home.
