Sorry it took a couple of days to write! I just threw a Memorial Day party, and I was very busy with stuff…So, here's chapter 17!
CHAPTER 17: GAEA BECOMES FRIENDS WITH THE GODS
Gaea—our favorite Earth Mother—was tossing and turning in her sleep. She just wasn't feeling right. She fell asleep eventually, but woke up many hours later with horrible pains in her jaw.
What should I do? Gaea thought. I need some mortal drugs to cure this. That's when an idea hit her.
Gaea called up Nyx and Nemesis, two other primordial goddesses.
"Guys," Gaea said, "my mouth hurts!"
"Uh…" Nyx said, "well, come to the Olympian Throne Room in a few minutes and we'll take care of it."
Gaea wasn't too happy about that (she hated the gods). She sighed, though, and headed to Olympus.
When Gaea got there, she saw a bench with crappy magazines stacked high upon it. She sat down and began to read one, all the time gripping her green dress out of nervousness.
Nemesis cleared her throat and walked into the waiting room.
"Well, thank the primordial gods," Gaea said, sighing with relief. "Please help me with this toothache! I can't sleep, and it's annoying me."
"Well," said Nemesis, "Dr. Nyx is ready for you, Gaea."
Gaea sat in the dentist chair and Nemesis put a napkin on her. Nyx brought over a few tools and leaned the chair back. Before she examined Gaea, she asked her some questions.
"So, Mother Gaea," said Nyx, "when did the pain start?"
"Last night. I couldn't sleep because of it." Gaea moaned as the pain got worse.
Nyx turned the light on. "It's probably your wisdom teeth being evil with you," she said. She looked at Gaea's teeth and took some x-rays. When they developed, Nemesis pulled them up on a computer screen.
"Whoa," said Nemesis.
"What?" Gaea asked from the chair.
"Your wisdom teeth are really impacted, Gaea," said Nyx. "We're going to have to do surgery right away on you."
"You better put me to sleep for this," said Gaea, sounding annoyed.
"We could," said Nemesis, "but we won't. We'll give you some laughing gas and Novocain." She handed Nyx some topical and Nyx gave it to Gaea.
"Ick!" Gaea screamed. "What kind of flavor is this?"
"It's supposed to be strawberry!" Nemesis stated.
"Unacceptable!" Gaea screamed. "Who has made this?"
"Uh…probably Dionysus or Demeter."
"Well, they suck!"
"Tell me about it," said Nyx, grabbing the Novocain needles. "Hold still. These won't feel too good."
As Nyx was giving Gaea the Novocain, Gaea kicked and screamed, but relaxed as soon as Nemesis gave her the laughing gas.
Nyx pulled out all four of Gaea's wisdom teeth and put some stitches in. Then she released her.
Gaea stumbled out of the dentist office and headed to the middle of the throne room, where Hestia was sitting, tending to the hearth.
"Hello, Lady Gaea," said Hestia.
"Hey, honey," Gaea said.
Hestia was really surprised. Gaea hated the gods, especially Hestia.
"What's up?" asked Hestia.
"Tell the gods to get their butts up here right now," Gaea ordered her granddaughter. "I wish to speak to them."
Hestia shrugged and summoned the gods to the throne room.
The gods appeared on their thrones, and none of them looked happy. Hera and Zeus were in the middle of making out, so Hera's throne was empty…but Zeus' wasn't!
"What's the meaning of this?" Zeus raged. "I have to do things with Hera! It is vitally important that we procreate!"
"Hello, my friends," Gaea squealed. "My name's Gaea. Who wants to be my friend?"
The gods all eyed her suspiciously.
"Uh…I'll be your friend," said Poseidon.
"Yay!" Gaea hugged him. "I love you, Mr. Poseidon, sir! Come! Let's go back to my palace!"
The two gods headed back to Gaea's palace, where Gaea gave Poseidon some nectar while she took a pill Nyx had put her on. The pill seemed to have had something in it that made Gaea come back to reality. She glared at Poseidon. "Why are you here?"
"You invited me," Poseidon stated flatly.
"NO I DIDN'T!" Gaea yelled. "YOU GET YOUR ASS BACK TO OLYMPUS RIGHT NOW BEFORE I BEAT YOU!"
Poseidon vanished. Gaea headed to the couch where she watched a good movie called "Clash of the Titans".
Yeah, I know. Sorry…it was a crappy chapter. I don't know a whole lot about Gaea, other than she's a terrible person who sucks…yeah.
