A/N- sighs happily Ahhhhhh! It feels so good to get writing again, FINALLY. Hope you all didn't miss me too much in my absence. Well, I must say, this was quite a close vote. While there was two for Roger in the reviews, there was one for Francisco online and one of my friends read it and told me off-line that they wanted him too! This was broken when another friend told me they wanted Roger and so........ ROGER THE CAR SALESMAN WINS!!!!!!! music and cheers Yay! Yippe! ......

Ne-Ways, I kinda felt sorry for Hank... he didn't get ANY votes- :( Oh well, he was a loser anyway. Oh, since it was such a close vote, Francisco will be put in the lineup for votes next time. Well, that's all I can think of right now so, uh, enjoy!

P.S. – I sincerely apologize to Computer dunce if I ever offended you with my comment on cheesy music, I in no way meant to imply that he was a bad writer! Well, now that that's done, on with the story!

Chapter -er, umm- Where are we at again?- Oh, the title is-

"Half Price?"

Athena was getting nervous. He was supposed to be there a half an hour ago!

Who, you say?

Why, her blind date. Roger.

Her psychiatrist had set her up. Said he was a "friend of her husband" . That alone made Athena nervous. But oh well, Athena thought. Even if this one screws up big time, she said she had plenty more.

But Athena was confident (she had been listening to those motivational tapes the psychiatrist had given her). She had even fantasized about what he looked like, tall, dark, with strong arms, and beautiful eyes. Then she realized she was thinking of Ares....

No! She was not going to think about him. The psychiatrist had told her not to think about him, to clear him from her mind, but she couldn't help being drawn back to him in everything.

She sighed. Where was he?

Suddenly a very fancy looking deep purple viper with orange flames pulled up at her house.

J.L. Tinsley: Oh! My favorite car! gasps How much more perfect could it be?!?! What a perfect car... it couldn't be more perfect! Except maybe if it was a silver Lotus Elite, or a red '65 convertible Mustang, or a deep-blue corvette, or maybe a yellow Lamborghini, or-oh! A lime-green bug car with daisy wheel hub-caps! Screams Aaaaah! laughs This is SO awesome!

Athena: Hey, what are you doing here-eth? Get outeth! This is my storyeth! Quit trying to steal my thunder... no pun intended-eth!

J.L. Tinsley: Achem... first of all, this is MY story, I AM the authoress of this pathetic excuse of a fan fic, and second of all, I was not stealing your thunder, and, by the way, that was REALLY lame... its your dads thunder anyway!

Athena: Yeah, well he gave it to me-eth! Anyway, get out-eth! You're ruining it-eth!

J.L. Tinsley: growls You're going to regret that! Bum Bum Bum Bum!!!!! ... Disappears into a bubble I'll be baaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bubble posps Eeeek!

Athena: sighs FINALLY! Now lets try that again-eth...

...Suddenly a very fancy looking deep purple viper with orange flames pulled up at her house.

Athena: Oooh! I'm likin' him already-eth!

Then he stepped out.

He looked like something out of a dream; his perfect white teeth were so store-bought straight, and "his" hair (AKA-toupee) was flying wildly in the wind. He walked up to the door and rang the bell.

Athena: Okay, be cool-eth. Don't sound too eager-eth. Takes deep breath Okay. Opens the door coy smile Hello-eth.

Roger: Well, hello ma'am. How are you liking it?

Athena: Um, okay I guess...

Roger: Great! I'll have the papers ready tomorrow!

Athena: What?!?!?!? What papers-eth?

Roger: Why the car papers, of course! big grin

Athena: Um, but I didn't, um... sighs I- wait, what car-eth?

Roger: My viper, of course! another big grin

Athena: Well, um, I guess that's okay... I think-eth...

Roger: Great! I hope you don't mind if we drive it around a bit tonight, do you?

Athena: Well, I...

Roger: Great! Now, are you ready to go?

Athena: Um, yeah I suppose-eth.

Roger: Great! Now lets get going.

Athena: Alright-eth.

The two entered the car and began to drive down the street. They soon came to a nice restaurant called LeVino's. They entered into the restaurant, and were quickly seated at a round table with flowers and music filling the entire room.

Waiter: May I take your order?

Roger: Uh, yes looking at menu we'll have the... steaks. By the way sweetie, they are half price today.

Athena: The cars-eth?

Waiter: The steaks.

Roger: Who brought you into this?

Athena: Hey!

Roger: No! Waiter!

Waiter: The steaks?

Roger: The cars!

Athena: Half-price-eth?

Roger: My baby!

Athena: gasps You have a child-eth?!

Roger: No, you!

Athena: gasps even louder I'M your child-eth?!?!?!?

Roger: No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You, my baby, sugar, sweetums, whatever, are getting half price!

Athena: WHAT?!?!? You're saying I was half price-eth?

Waiter: Are you gonna order or not?

Roger: NO!

Waiter: Well, sheesh, you don't have to yell it!

Roger: I mean, yes!

Athena: gasps You mean I was... You... gasps The physiatrist-eth! growls

Roger: No, the cars!

Athena: What... oooooooooooooooooh! smiles and thinks she understands I get it now-eth! I'm half price, your baby likes steak, and the waiter wants a new car-eth! Ah! Duh! Shakes her head and looks at the menu smiling

Roger: Er, uh, sssure, y-yeah, that's it. Yeah.

Athena: Oh! Um waiter, I would really suggest a deep purple viper with orange flames-eth! It's a great deal-eth! Oh, and um, I'd like the steak please-eth!

Roger: Hey, you know they are half price!

Waiter: swoons Oh, no!

Roger: You know, I'm not that hungry for steak anymore. Besides, this scene is getting kinda cheesy anyway...

Athena: Oooh, look, the cheese cart is coming around-eth!

Roger: Great!

J.L. Tinsley: Ughh! That has got to be the corniest thing I've ever written...

Later

The evening seemed to fly by after that, and at the end of the night, Roger dropped her off at her house, happier than she could have ever dreamed she could have been.

A/N- The end! Well, of this chapter. Now, vote for the next lucky date of Athena- Francisco the Colombian drug lord, Jean Claude, the feminine French cloths designer, or anyone else you think should be in here!
