Chapter 1

Hera POV

Hera was an immortal being with eons of shame and sadness. She had actually felt sorry for the demigod Perseus Jackson, but if she admitted it, that would ruin her reputation. Her marriage ring broke. She burst into tears, because that meant that Zeus was cheating on her again. What was the point of incinerating those mortals? Zeus did not care anyways and he would do it again. But then she got an idea. And her sadness turned to revenge.

What if she showed the pain of cheating to Zeus? He could then understand how painful that is. If he loved her and she pretended to cheat on him with Poseidon by. But how would she be able to do it? She thought. She could ask Aphrodite, although she did not approve of her. But her son… he never cheated, and was actually a very nice person, contrary to what a regular person would think.

So she went to Cupid's house. When she got there, she was greeted by Cupid. "Good afternoon, Lady Hera. What is it that you want?" Cupid said. Hera then explained her plan. She asked Cupid to make Zeus fall in love with her. Cupid agreed, and then did that easily. He shot one invisible arrow with Hera's name on it. "Mission Achieved" said Cupid.

Zeus POV

Zeus felt a pain in his chest. Almost like he was pierced by an arrow! All of a sudden, he felt something tugging in his heart. It said to go see Hera. It pulled at him, tugged at him. He had not felt like this since the First Titan War!

But he listened to it. Because it was his heart. (AN: sorry, I know this sounds incredibly sappy, but oh well). So he went to see Hera. He kissed her and she looked surprised.

Hera POV

Hera was really surprised. Zeus had not done that in a few centuries. It felt so nice being loved back, not being lusted after, but actually loved back. She felt guilty for what she was going to stage.

Zeus POV

Zeus then invited her to a date in the Garden of Bacchus. He knew that the Roman Praetor, "what was her name again?" he thought, oh right, Reyna would not mind. The date was at 7:00 PM. The time was for him 3:00. He wanted for Hera to feel special again. So he went to the place and willed a table to appear. It was a table with drawings of peacock feathers on them. He assumed that she would like peacock feathers, peacocks were Hera's sacred animals after all.

He then added bluebirds. Even though it was not her sacred animal, He assumed that everybody, including Hera, liked bluebirds. He sat there and waited, thinking about her luscious lips and her beautiful hair and the soft and kind attitude that she used to have until he cheated on her. He suddenly felt guilty. He had caused this pain to her, and he was thinking that one date could make up for all the cheating that he did? But it was worth a try. He just wanted to see Hera's pain go away.

Zeus added bunnies; there is no such thing as a person that does not like bunnies. Hera loved soft and cuddly animals; he knew that this could be perfect for her.

After adding a few more touches to the environment, Zeus now wondered what to get her for a gift. Maybe a ring, he supposes. The ring could be made out of the most beautiful rubies and emeralds. Even though he would then owe Hades a favor, it was worth seeing Hera's beautiful smile when she would see them.

He went down to the underworld to ask Hades for this. Zeus said to Hades: "If you give me the most beautiful rubies and emeralds in the world, then I will let you have a throne on Olympus. Please brother, please give me those jewels." Hades replied, "Yes, but you will have to give me my throne first." "Done", Zeus proclaimed. Hades then gave Zeus the jewels and wished him goodbye.

Zeus took the jewels to the god of the forge. He asked him to make these jewels into a ring. Hephaestus did. Even though none of these gods liked him, they all agreed to his requests. Being the King of Gods has its perks, after all.

Hephaestus gave the ring to Zeus, and then Zeus left. Zeus set the ring in a box with a drawing of a peacock on it. He teleported to the Garden of Bacchus, and the giant clock in Camp Jupiter's hand struck on the number 7, bells ringing. He sat down, and Hera teleported to the Garden of Bacchus, where the date began.

Hera looked stunning, with a turquoise sundress and a beautiful smile.

Hera POV

Hera was very surprised that Zeus was actually taking the time to acknowledge her and to take her on a date. But again, Cupid did shoot an arrow in his chest that made him fall in love with Hera.

Hera was really happy when Zeus gave her the ring. She slipped it on, and kissed Zeus lightly, and left.
