Disclaimer: I don't own anything. No, I mean it. Not a single word. I don't even think I own this plotline. You could probably steal it and I couldn't sue you. But please don't.

Announcer: Are you ready for dun dun dun Hades? The gloomy King is about to go with his wife to 'check up' on the rams.

Ferris and Walter continued their argument. Eventually the whole herd split into two sides, and the argument just droned on, with me acting as peacekeeper and referee.

"If you weren't so freaking arrogant, we wouldn't be having this fight!" shouted Walter. Polly grabbed his shirt and began to weep into it.

"What, I'm arrogant because I'm not such a little lamb?" hollered Ferris.

"Oh, c'mon, why not just ask Lorraine?" begged Susan. "She'd resolve this nice and easy!"

But Lorraine looked around, contemplating, and finally muttered, "I would help, truly, but these people only want to win their argument, not find the truth." She gestured in the general direction of Ferris and his posse.

Victoria and Ollie both whined, "Yeah, and, like, whatever, Tara, being such a tomboy and whatever! You're just wrong and that's, like, all!"

"He's telling the truth! No point in being blindly optimistic!" yelled Tara. "C'mon, Polly. Don't cry. Miss will figure it all out...right?" Tara looked at me hopefully. I smiled as kindly as I could, considering the fact that I wasn't particularly happy with either party.

"I'll do the best I can."

A dark shadow filled the field. "The best you can, eh?" whispered a low, hollow voice. "And what if that isn't good enough?"

"Hades!" Susan gasped. "Oh my!"

"Yes, it is me," Hades said.

I was so surprised, I only managed, "Why...why are you here?"

"To check up on you, of course. I wanted to see how many of you were still...golden, shall we say. And look here—it looks like all but one of you has kept your metal! Ha ha, I crack myself up." He looked around, and though he laughed, he was not smiling. He seemed incredibly upset that only Eva had become normal.

As he spoke, a slightly more welcome figure stepped out of the darkness. "Hon-bun, what're you doing to those poor little rams?" Persephone walked right up to Polly and began to pet her. "Aw, you're so cute!"

Hades scowled at his Queen. "Persephone, stop being ridiculous. These creatures are powerful. Should they unleash the extent of their power, who knows what they could do to mankind!"

"Oh, like Romans, right? Weren't they going to end the world? Now they can barely hold on to Rome. And the Greek woman, Pandora, too? You're just such a pessimist!" Persephone exclaimed, stomping off.

The rams took this as their cue to slowly edge away from the pair.

"Persephone! PERSEPHONE! Come back here! This is ridiculous! You always do this! Do you have any idea how embarrassing this is? You're such a child! Hera is so mature, so powerful, and look at you! You're like a spoiled baby! What did Demeter do to you?" Hades yelled.

Upon hearing this, Persephone stormed back. "PICKING ON MY MOTHER? HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?"

"ARE YOU KIDDING? SHE'S MY NEICE! I CAN PICK ON HER AS MUCH AS I WANT! SHE'S A F B!"

"YOUR NEICE? OH, THAT IS JUST SO WRONG! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST SAID THAT!"

"YOU ARE SO MUCH LESS MATURE THAN HERA!"

"Hera this, Hera that! TALK ABOUT INSECURE!"

"CAN I HELP IT IF ZEUS GOT THE GOOD WIFE?"

"I GUESS YOU CAN'T PICK AND CHOOSE WHEN YOU STEAL THEM FROM THEIR GARDENING!"

"I THOUGHT WE GOT OVER THAT!"

At that point, Persephone stormed off and Hades chased after her.

"That is one messed-up couple," I said under my breath.

Announcer: YAY! The first cameo! And RandoMaia, I will try to add in the person you recommended. If anyone else has an idea, I'd love to hear it. Ta-ta for now!
