Hermes and The Hat
Hermes appeared before Hades laughing like a maniac.
Hades looked down in bemusement from his 'Throne of Evil', "Hermes, what is it that brings you here?"
"Well my lord it appears that the mighty Zeus is on Aphrodite's revenge list. He has received a very interesting gift," Hermes said snickering.
"Interesting how?"
"Lets just say that he won't be looking at thunderbolts the same way ever again."
"I am guessing that I don't even want to know. Hermes coincidentally or not Eros stopped by and left a gift for you," Hades snapped his fingers and a white box appeared in front of Hermes.
Hermes looked absolutely terrified. He wanted to open the box out of pure curiosity, but he couldn't help but remember the thunderbolt incident.
Hades had never been more amused in his life. The look of absolute horror on Hermes' face made Hades want to roll with laughter but he didn't because he is Hades.
Hermes reluctantly stepped towards the box. He took a deep breath and opened it. 'Well here goes nothing' he thought. He hesitated again and saw. a hat. Wait a hat and it was shiny. ooh. He picked it up and examined it carefully. Not oddly misshapen so it must be okay, right? He took off his old hat and put on the new shiny one.
Hades was about to leave when all of a sudden wings sprouted from the hat and Hermes was lifted off the ground. Hades took a seat back on his throne.hmm.
"Hey, what's going on?!? I-I can't get this stupid hat off." He yelled trying his best to pull it off but to no avail. "Help me!" he shouted as the hat moved him around in a circle. Faster and faster he went. The hat seemed to have a mind of its own and it suddenly stopped and then dived towards the ground.
"AHHHH!!!" Hermes screamed as he was suddenly flung into a wall.
Hades leaned back and snapped in his favorite snack. "Ooh that's gotta hurt," Hades murmured, as Hermes was repeatedly smacked into a wall. "Ooh that'll leave a mark," Hades shivered out when Hermes was planted face first into a rock.
Persephone then appeared before Hades. She was about to say something when she was interrupted by Hermes, "AAHHH-OW!" She tilted her head to the side in the curiosity, "What is Hermes doing?" she asked.
"He is running himself into walls. here want some?" Hades asked as he passed her some food. "Sit down, relax and enjoy the show," Hades said. Still not taking his eyes off Hermes, who was now being turned upside down in the air.
Persephone sat down and started watching. After a particularly bad fall she noticed a hat on the ground. "Did Hermes get a new hat?"
"Yes it was a gift Aphrodite," Hades answered distractedly.
They watched as the hat went around in a circle and along with Hermes began to disappear. Persephone and Hades sat there for a bit finishing off the rest of their food when Persephone got up and began to leave. "Oh and by the way," she said, "you have a present waiting for you in the other room," she kissed him on the cheek, "have fun!"
