This isn't really a wisdom teeth extraction story either, but you guys will like this! Please keep the reviews coming! I love you all and thanks again for the favs, follows, and reviews! Credit goes to Owlion12 for the idea of Cerberus…never would've thought about it. If you guys give me more ideas on how to humiliate gods and whatnot, let me know and I'll give you some credit. And then you'll be famous! :)
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, including the Banana-Sprite Challenge. For those of who you don't know what it is, you eat bananas and drink lots of Sprite and it's supposed to make you throw up. DON'T DO IT! I've never done it, but I've seen some on YouTube and I almost threw up just watching it! Okay, I think that's enough of a disclaimer.
CHAPTER 25: FLOWER FANATIC AND CREEPY STALKER OPERATE ON CERBERUS
Hades' POV
It was the day after I'd gotten my teeth cleaned, and I must say, they've never felt better…all smooth and stuff. I told Nico I was a brave boy, and he gave me this look like I was an idiot. Oh, well, he probably already thinks that. Between you and me, I think he's an idiot, too, but don't tell him that or I'll force you to do the Banana-Sprite Challenge and post your reaction to YouTube.
Anyway, I was talking to Nico in the dining room about teeth and stuff. Suddenly, a thought occurred to me. "Son," I said, "when's your appointment?"
"Not sure," Nico said. "But I thought that the appointment book was only for gods."
"Wrong!" I yelled. "Zeus just texted us that we can get our kids in…and we'll be their dentists. Ooh, you're going to die."
"Thank you for that lovely glimpse into the future," Nico said.
"You are quite welcome, son," I replied.
The door burst open and Persephone stormed in, dragging Cerberus behind her on a three-headed dog leash. "Hades!" she barked. "I just gave Cerberus his Happy Doggie treats and he won't freaking eat them." She looked at Nico and glared at him. "I don't like you, so it's your fault. There. I've established that it's you."
"Persephone," I warned, "don't blame my son for this. Maybe it's you."
"Maybe it's you," Persephone snapped, rounding on me.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!" Cerberus barked, bouncing up and down. The freaking palace shook.
"Yes, Cerberus?" I asked. I picked up a volleyball that was just lying around the room. "You wanna play?"
Cerberus drooled, but didn't come running up to me like he always did.
"C'mon, Fluffy," Nico begged.
A few hours later, Persephone tried feeding Cerberus again. This time he took a bite and spat it out again.
She dragged him into my throne room again. "Hades!" she barked for the second time. "He's still not eating!"
I hopped down from my throne. Cerberus eats his meals unless he's sick, so I assumed he was sick.
"What's wrong wiff my wittle Fluffy?" I cooed. Cerberus licked me with his three tongues. "Yeah, yeah. I love you, too," I replied. "Tell me what's wrong. I'm all ears."
A long, long time ago, I told Hephaestus to plant a chip in Cerberus' head so I could understand what he was trying to say. It's not easy trying to read three different expressions at the same time. So the results from the chip would go to my cell phone and I could read it.
I picked up my phone and turned it on. "He says his teeth hurt," I told Persephone.
"AH!" Persephone totally freaked out. "We have to go to the vet!"
"Lady," I replied, "we can't go there. They don't treat three-headed puppies!"
"Oh." Persephone calmed down. "Well, how about we do it then?"
I listened as Cerberus told me something in dog-language. Then I translated: "He says he's cool with that if we do the Banana-Sprite Challenge and post our reactions to YouTube."
Persephone shrugged. "That's fine by me. Let's get started."
Cerberus' POV
I was a not-so-happy puppy as Lord Creepy Stalker loaded me into his chariot (which was a hearse to all of the mortals out there).
Flower Fanatic got into the front seat of the chariot and grabbed Hades' hand. "We have to get bananas and Sprite on our way home, honey."
"Yeah, I know," Creeper replied, revving the engine.
I just wanted to watch them suffer as much as I did. Gods, why do I have three freaking heads? What did I do to deserve this? Having one toothache is bad enough…but THREE OF THEM HURTS LIKE…well, like Hades!
Creeper pulled into the Olympus Parking Garage and unlocked the doors. "All right, my handsome prince…"
Handsome prince? What's up his butt today?
"Time for your dentist appointment!"
Flower Freak put a leash around each of my necks and led me to a large room. There was a curtain on the other side of the room, and a crooked bench where we were. Cereal's Daughter led me to the bench while Dr. Depressing looked in the office. "All clear!" he announced. "I must go get some stuff." And he ran off to the sterilizing portion.
I licked Cereal's Daughter with one of my tongues and she scratched me behind my middle ears. It sort of calmed me down.
"Hades! Can I prep him or what?" Persephone yelled.
"Yeah!" yelled Hades. "I have to pee first!"
I saw him run into the bathroom and slam the door. Then I heard him singing: "It seems today that all you see is statues of the heroes and the gods on TV…"
I didn't know Hades watched "Family Guy"! Interesting…
Flowerhead led me into the room, but didn't make me sit in the chair. She scratched my ears some more and my tail started wagging. Oh, I can't wait to see them do the challenge later!
Dr. Corpse came into the office with a tool tray. He picked a couple of them up and looked at me. "Open your left mouth." He looked inside and discovered a cavity. He found two more in my other mouths.
Creepy Stalker turned to Persephone. "All right, wifey. I'll need some topical and Novocain."
Slutty Flower Fanatic (I only call her slutty because of that awful dress she wears) handed Hades three swabs of gel. He stuck them in my mouth and I whimpered, putting my face on the floor, my paws over my mouths.
"Look up at me, Cerberus," Dr. Beardface ordered. "I'm now going to jab you with this needle. It might hurt a bit."
And it did…well, it didn't really hurt; it was more of a pinch. But the problem was that the pinch happened three times, so it was three times worse than it was for normal people.
Once I was numb, Dr. Lonely filled my cavities and Nurse Sephie gave me some water so I could rinse. Then they led me outside and loaded me into the hearse.
No one's POV
Hades and Persephone had just finished their second operation of that week, but they had two more tasks to complete: going to the store and completing the Banana-Sprite Challenge.
Persephone took out her phone and texted Demeter. "Mother says she doesn't approve of me doing the thingy today," she said. "The banana thingy."
"Of course she doesn't," Hades muttered under his breath. "I'm hungry. You wanna get some food?" They'd pulled into a McDonald's drive-thru.
"No."
"Fine." Hades looked at her. "Tomorrow?"
"Sure."
"YAY!"
"Please don't do that," Persephone said.
"Okay."
Hades drove to Target and they went inside, leaving Cerberus in the car. It was winter now, so it didn't matter…the car would be cool for Cerberus.
Hades and Persephone headed to the fresh produce aisle, where they got two ripe bunches of bananas. Then they headed to the soda aisle to get two two-liter bottles of Sprite. Five minutes later, they were on their way back to the Underworld.
As soon as Hades got home, he threw the bananas on the table and yelled: "Nico! Come record Daddy puking banana!"
Nico came running out of his room. "Oh no," he said. "You're going to do the challenge, aren't you?"
"Yes," Persephone replied shortly. "Record it on my phone, Nico."
Nico took her phone and pressed the red button and it began to record.
"Hi, world," said Hades. "I am Hades and this is Persephone. My dog challenged us to do this stupid challenge. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter, but don't actually do that because neither of us have accounts on anything 'cause we suck. Okay, I'm done bitching! HERE WE GO!"
Hades and Persephone began to eat their bananas. Their goal was to keep two bananas and a liter of Sprite down. As soon as they'd finished their bananas, they drank their Sprite. Surprisingly, they both got the soda down, too. Then they started to feel queasy. Both of them had buckets in front of them. Cerberus was calmly watching them, his tail wagging slightly as he got more and more excited.
Persephone was the first to go. She leaned over a puked right away. But Hades was doing okay…until he grabbed his stomach. "Nico, Daddy's going to puke now!"
"I'll alert the media," Nico said sarcastically. "PUKE!"
Hades and Persephone continued to vomit up the bananas and Sprite. Finally, after much queasiness, stomach cramps, gagging, and puke dribbling down their chins, they both stood up.
"Thank you for watching Persephone and me throw up," Hades said weakly. "Subscribe, you stupid mortals!"
Nico stopped recording and posted it to YouTube, where all the gods and goddesses (and demigods, too) subscribed to Hades' YouTube channel.
