Chapter 8
The next morning, Ares got up and stretched. "Oh boy, I had a great sleep... I've never slept like that... ever. It was like ... like sleeping in the arms of love. I have to find out who loves me. I just have to. I hope... I wish it could be the person I would like it to be." He said this, wistfully thinking of a pair of beautiful green eyes. He shook his head. "No. That's impossible. She hates me. I'd better forget her. It's probably a gray-haired grandmother that made the blanket for me."
Ares continued thinking of who might be his secret admirer while putting his blanket safely inside a chest at the foot of his bed. "Good-bye, furry blanket," he whispered, "See you tonight." He knew it was completely ridiculous, but he felt like he was talking to his secret admirer. How wonderful it would be.... to have someone to go places with and come home to.
Every morning, Ares woke up feeling happy and refreshed. Everyone around him started to notice. Even Xena heard about it, and told Gabrielle. "See, Gabrielle. It was the blanket you gave him. It's working already!" Aphrodite confirmed this, and was thrilled about it. She really loved Gabrielle, and hoped for her brother and Gabrielle to get together. She decided to help Ares and Gabrielle find each other. She invited them for a picnic but didn't tell them who would be there. She just said that it would be a bunch of Gods and her favorite mortals.
