Section 38: Lovable Literature
Poseidon writes a letter!
(demigods not present)
Zeus: You can write, Poseidon?
Poseidon: Better than you, Zeus. I was writing to Krima the naiad. She had a meeting with me yesterday, but didn't come.
Hermes: Why couldn't you have just emailed her on your new laptop?
Poseidon: She only accepts pen-written letters….weird that way.
Athena: What's weird about that? She just loves the look of pen on paper…not that your writingwould make any one feel good.
Poseidon: Har dee har. I regret my decision even more now.
Zeus: What? That you dared to compete with me in the Wrestle-fiesta Contest?
Poseidon: No. I regret that I have to ask Athena to correct my letter for me. Sigh.
Zeus: I could do that, if you ask nicely…
Poseidon: Uh…..sorry, bro. So anyway, Athena, I want you to point out some minor errors I'd have made in this letter.
Athena: I'm busy with my own work.
Poseidon: Oh, come on! It's notwise to be unhelpful.
Athena: Shut up….
Poseidon: I'll read it out loud, and then you can point the mistakes out. So here it goes….From Poseidon. Krima, did you-
Athena: Wait! You write from Poseidon at the end.
Poseidon: Does it really matter?
Athena: Aren't I supposed to know?
Poseidon: Oh, well. So…Krima, did you forget the meeting we had in the Pacific yesterday? I got so hungry waiting, I ate all of our biscuits for tea.
Zeus: HAHA!
Athena: Is it really….necessary to put that in?
Poseidon: What? I have to tell her this; so that next time she gets her share of the biscuits too.
Athena:…..Read on.
Poseidon: The meeting was really sificant, you know-
Athena: Sificant?
Posiedon: What? It's a professional word for important. You don't have to know everything, Athena.
Athena: Well, I certainly don't know this word, because it's significant, not sificant.
Poseidon: You're just saying that to degrade me.
Athena: I'm just saying that to save your sorry dignity. A god, not knowing a little word like significant.
Poseidon: Whatever…that meeting was really significant, you know, because my sacred fish are getting really tired of wearing seaweed jumpers all the time. They need a new revolution.
Apollo: Your fish wear clothes?
Poseidon (proudly): Yes, my sacred fish have their own department!
Athena: Revolution? Are they having a war or something?
Poseidon: Revolution=change. And they say you're the wisdom goddess.
Athena: Well, my dear wisdom god, revolution is not relevant in this line. Change the word.
Poseidon: Wha—noo! It's one of my favourite long words. I'll just read on: Also, the Mexican fish are fed up of the snobbful attitude of the Russian piranhas.
Zeus: You write like your fish actually have different nationalites.
Poseidon: They have! What, you thought only your stupid clouds and winds have countries and nationalities?
Athena: What is snobbful?
Poseidon: Jeez, Athena, I can't believe I came to you. Snobbful means bad. Stuck up. Ares-type.
Ares: Excuse me?
Athena: There's NO SUCH WORD as snobbful! Honestly, now I know where Percy gets his dumbness from!
Poseidon: Or his awesomeness. Anyway; So, come by tomorrow, because I've re-selected the meeting. From Poseidon.
Athena: Selected? Is it a cake you've selected from a variety of sweet dishes?
Poseidon: Now what can't you understand? I've selected another day for the meeting, haven't I?
Athena: You have completely wasted my hour. Father, take him away!
Poseidon: Uh, who are you asking for help?
This was the worst chapter I've ever written! :( SORRY.
P.S: I'm thinking of another story, A Percy Jackson and Harry Potter crossover. I'm not starting it now, though.
One word: REVIEW.
