Before
this chapter gets started, here is some info you need to
know-
please read
all of it!
A/N: Sorry the last chapter was so confusing. This
one should help explain. But you must know some basic the history of
the Greek gods, as well as some knowledge of The Trojan War, as well
as the powers of Aphrodite's girdle and about the thing between Ares
and Aphrodite-if you know what I mean. Wink, wink- I mean, she is the
goddess of love! But if you pay attention you might be able to pick
up most of the info you need. Thanks to Remy, Tatianna, Contessa, and
Aryante for reviewing. You guys are the best! Sorry there are so many
A/N's. Sorry this A/N is so long. Sorry for all the spelling
mistakes. Sorry I keep apologizing. Sorry- oh, nevermind.
P.S.-
Another A/N. () Okay, the last chapter wasn't very funny, so I've
decided to move it back under the "General" section instead
of "Humor" section. I will still try to make it funny, but
I'm not very good at it! A question for all you loyal readers out
there- Should Athena keep speaking Old English in her own freaky way
or is it too annoying? Please review and tell me what you
think!
Chapter
2: To win a god's heart-
Aphrodite is sitting inside her room,
looking franticly for something. Finally she pulls out an old paper
sack.
Aphrodite: Yes! I found it!
Hera, who is sitting
across the room, looks on in disgust.
Hera:
EEEWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe you just touched that! Who knows
who has stuck there face in that! You can just see all that nasty
gaudy makeup in there! Yuck!
Aphrodite: As a matter of fact,
I'M the one who put MY face in there! That nasty gaudy makeup is
mine! I'm so hideous, I have to wear that much makeup just look even
remotely like what I'm supposed too!
Athena: Why the heck
would you put your face in thateth? I thought you were supposed to be
the pretty one-eth! And if you're so ugly, what does that make
me-eth? Gulp-eth. How can I ever carry out my plan if I'm so
hideouseth? AAAAHHHHHHH-eth!!!!!!!!!!! Begins to wail and again
throws herself on the ground-again
Hera: rolls her eyes
Ughh, you are SO pathetic! And its not like the author of this
pathetic excuse of a fan fic is actually going by the story or
anything! Hey, what do you mean, "carry out my plan"?
Athena:
Oh, nothing-eth. another evil grin
Hera: Mmmmhhhhhhmmmm. Oh
well. I've learned a long time ago not to mess with other people's
business, so I'll just let you get in trouble. I like doing that!
MWA, MWA, MWAHAHAHAHA!!!
Hera swept out of the room laughing
evilly (that was definitely her born talent), and Aphrodite continued
in her business of hiding herself from the world with that age-old
trick of tying a sweatshirt around the waist of your toga (hey, they
call it an age-old trick for a reason). Athena then headed over to
her house where she began to draw out the details of her plan. Just
then she realized something. To carry out her plan, she would need
some real help. She would need gulp Aphrodite.
The next
day
Aphrodite: You need me to do WHAT?!?!?!?
Athena:
Shhh!!! He'll hear you!
Aphrodite: No he won't! He's busy
attacking that fly, and you know good and well that when he's
attacking a fly, NOTHING can disturb him.
Athena: Well, that's
true. But please, I NEED you. You just HAVE to do this for me.
PLEEEASE????????
Aphrodite: Why would I trust you with my
girdle when I distinctly remember you trying to kill me on that
battlefield back in the Trojan War?
Athena: I did not try to
kill you! If I had tried, I would have succeeded, and you know I
would. I simply tried to help you learn your place, and that is not
on the battlefield. And it was your fault that you were rooting for
those dumb Trojans. Especially that Aeneas you liked so much.
snickers
Aphrodite: Hey!
Athena: Come on, Aphrodite.
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZEEE???????????????????????
Aphrodite: All
right, all right. But if it backfires on you, you can't blame me.
Alright? Don't you remember the-um- thing between him and
me?
Athena: annoyed You don't have to rub it in. But thank
you so much, Aphrodite. You have no idea what this means to
me.
Aphrodite: Oh, trust me. I think I do. I'm the goddess of
love. Remember?
Athena: sheepishly Oh yeah.
Aphrodite:
Hey, you haven't been speaking in Old English! Whats up with
that?
Athena: Oh, uh, um, I, uh, I gotta go-eth.
Bye!
Aphrodite: Yeah, sure. Bye.
Later
Athena
is walking along in her new dress; a beautiful red and blue with
royal purple sashes. But it is what was underneath that counted-
Aphrodite's girdle- the very maker of love.
Ares is seen on
the sign of the road sharpening his sword.
Athena suddenly
uses a very strange voice; not exactly like her regular more deep
voice, but one more like the beautiful Aphrodite's, sounding soft and
smooth.
Athena: Come to me, Ares.
Athena began to walk
to him, and Ares looked really freaked out and backed up as far as he
could until he bumped into a tree.
Ares: Whoa, hold on- um,
are you okay- I mean I could see you being attracted to me- smiles
then shakes his head and gets scared again- but what's up with the
whole dress?
Just then Athena turned her leg just slightly to
reveal a red and gold girdle (sorry all, I didn't know what the real
colors were but I wanted to make it pretty ) wrapped very of
tightly around her leg (Aphrodite was much thinner than Athena,
Athena had been working in the gym lately and built herself quite a
muscular build; fine for the battlefield, but not for "just too
small" kind of clothes).
Athena then whipped off the
girdle (hey, this is my fan fic, and I can make it as stupid as I
want it! Oh, sorry- I get kind off protective of my freakishly
creative imagination's inventions- and I love to use big words too!
) and held it high into the air. It blazed furiously and that
cheesy music that movies play when something strange is happening
could be heard in the near background. She then said some words in
Greek and lowered it until it was right in front of both Ares and
Athena's face. It was blazing all the more furiously with each
passing moment, and Ares covered his eyes to shield them from the
light. Athena began to speak again, still in Greek.
Athena:
"blah blah blah blah blah"
Ares was suddenly thrown back
onto the ground and knocked unconscious. The girdle had stopped
glowing and Athena snapped out of her trance. She backed up slowly
from Ares' motionless body, then realizing what she had done, she
turned and fled down the street.
