Ok, another successful chapter completed! I'm so conceited. (Hey that rhymes!) This is the goddess of random pranks on mortals, Liz! I had a lot of fun writing this chapter, almost as much as Sonomi's. Maybe even more than Sonomi's! Ah, screw it, I don't feel like deciding. Author gets drop kicked by a crowd of angry chickens OK! On with the story!

Some things to know:

1) Some Greek cities: Athens, Olympia, Troy, Sparta

2) The myth goes that after Perseus killed Medusa, Pegasus sprang out of her neck

3) Muses: the nine goddesses of the arts

4) Daphne: a nymph that Apollo chased. She turned into a Laurel bush, which is the symbol of Apollo.

5) The Jesus quote is Liz's. I own no part of it

6) Dirty Clarence is basically Liz's muse

Now, with out further ado!!!!!!

The sun climbed up Mount Olympus in a crescendo, and by the time it reached the new goddess complex, it was at a forte. Behind gauzy curtains, a snowy white tiger awoke slowly to the noise. It yawned loudly, displaying pearly dagger-like teeth, and stretched on the pile of silk pillows that was it's bed. Suddenly, a golden spike of hair sprang up from the tiger's forehead. The cat growled and tried to groom it down with a paw, but another lock of hair took it's place. The tiger let out a sigh.

Screw it

In a soft green glow, it turned back into the goddess of random pranks on mortals, better known as Liz.

The full solar orchestra was still going on, so Liz grabbed her duck staff and went to the window to silence it.

After a few minutes of whacking around cherubs with instruments and giving Helios a black eye, a very satisfied Liz decided that it was time for breakfast. Sprinting down the stairs, the goddess took a flying leap and collided with a black toga. As she struggled to her feet, Liz was met with an anxious and frightened Ares.

"What are YOU doing here?" she growled. Ares glanced around frantically, saw an open window, and made his get away, but not before Liz saw what he was hiding behind his back. Shuddering, the goddess quickly made her way down to the dining room.

Everyone but Megan and Katie was already down there, leisurely chewing. Liz turned and addressed the goddess on her left.

"Lauren, your boyfriend is stealing your underwear."

The blonde bolted out of her chair and ran screaming down the hall. "NOT MY THONG!!!!"

Liz watched her go, then leisurely strolled into the kitchen area. After getting a meal, she walked over and sat down in Lauren's chair. Too much trouble, these relationships. Thank god she wasn't in one. Of course, there had been that secret admirer note, but Liz later found out it was from Pan. She had yet to exact her revenge. Speaking of revenge and Pan, here came Megan, looking rather sleepy. She grunted and shoveled food onto her plate as Liz said hello. The spiky-haired goddess made a mental note to put some fushia frogs into Megan's bed to lighten her up.

Liz yawned slightly, observed the pheasant bones on her plate (even though she was a vegetarian), and proceeded to change into her tiger form to chow them down. Unfortunately, not everyone had been informed that she had this ability, and it was quite a shock when Megan came back in the room. She let out an ear-piercing shriek that could loosely be interpreted as "O MY GOD! LIZ GOT EATEN BY A HUGE CAT!", which brought Katie running down the stairs groggily, tripping, and falling on her face.

"Megan you idiot." the blonde groaned, standing up slowly. "That's Liz." As if to prove that point, a lock of gold hair sprang up from the tiger's head.

I only started practicing yesterday. the tiger purred, pawing at the spike. Megan checked her heart rate and walked back over to breakfast with a humph. "Oh well, I wouldn't have MINDED you getting eaten..."

Liz stuck her tongue out at the goddess' back and sat back down. Just then, a very red-faced Lauren came into the room. She slumped into a chair and triumphantly held up her pathetic excuse for underwear. (A/N: I don't like thongs). Nicole, Sonomi, Liz, Katie, Colleen, and Megan all rolled their eyes and got up to leave for lessons, leaving Aubrey alone to listen to Lauren's tale of daring rescue and heroism.

Once outside, Liz bade a farewell to Sonomi, Colleen, Nicole and Megan. As they headed out of sight, she turned to Katie.

"Shall we?"

Katie, mistaking the meaning of the words, grabbed Liz's arm and skipped with her all the way to Hermes's home, All the while, a surprised Liz was screaming. "We're not gay!"But Katie ignored her. In no time they had reached the realm of Hermes.

As they stopped, Liz finally managed to free herself out of Katie's iron grip. Glaring at the blonde for a moment, she turned and started towards the front door of the glittering castle that was Hermes's home. Katie shrugged and followed as the spiky goddess grabbed the huge golden knob of the door. Shoving the door, they proceeded into the hall to wait for their instructor like drooling puppy dogs. Well, actually that was only Katie, because she had a secret crush on Hermes. But that was secret.

Soon the god of crooks came down the stairs in a flurry of silver and shine. He grinned and gave Liz a hi-five. Then he turned to Katie. "There's someone I'd like you to work with today." he said. On cue, a woman came down the stairs. She was dressed, head to tow, in flowing orange silk. She had on a comedy mask, and her blond hair was done up in curls. Her sparkling emerald eyes were dancing. Katie shook the woman's hand as Hermes introduced her as Thalia, the muse of comedy. "You guys have to whole morning to work on your repertoire Katie." Hermes said with a wink. Katie nodded, and started chatting with Thalia.

Hermes then turned to Liz, who hung her head slightly, knowing that a lecture was coming. Still, it made her wince when Hermes brought it up.

"You're getting kinda rusty."

Liz let out a sigh. "I know." she said. Her last good prank was yesterday morning, when she had Pegasus fly out of Medusa's neck. That caused Perseus to run around, squawking in surprise, and finally run into a column, where Athena found him a few hours later. Unfortunately, the afternoon session didn't work out so well. Liz could barely conjure up a chicken, much less a hydra to wreak havoc on a village. "I guess I'm hitting a prankster's block." she said sullenly.

Hermes grinned and clapped her on the back. "Oh, so THAT's all it is! Thank Zeus! I was afraid it was something serious! Let's go." With that, he rushed out the door, a slightly confused Liz following behind.

A few minutes later, Liz was in her tiger form racing down the side of Mount Olympus, with Hermes flying next to her. "So you see," the god was finishing, "if we can find some inspiration for you, then your creative juices will start flowing again."

Got it Liz said with a small nod. Testing her tiger strength, she coiled her muscles and lunged forward as far as she could. She made it to the bottom of the mountain. Woa she breathed as Hermes finally flew down beside her. That was easy

It was a nice warm day down in the town of Olympia. The merchants were having a successful market day as the two immortals cruised in. Some of the tourists in the town stopped to gawk and ask for photographs, but since Olympia was located at the base of Mount Olympus, the regular towns people paid the gods no mind and gave them the respected space they were entitled to. Liz was free to mingle and observe. She took down many notes in a little slate notebook she had, paying particular interest to a pair of fruit vendors that were angrily chucking their produce at each other. After watching them for a few minutes, Liz separated them regally, smacking their hands. "Bad boys. No candy for you." she scolded. The men looked at her strangely, but complied.

Helios was still smarting from the morning's episode, and thus was slow in his daily gallop across the sky. The gave Liz and Hermes plenty of time to enjoy themselves. Liz held her staff as she walked, but only had to use it once when a young Athenian made a pass at her. She smacked him hard across the head, causing a large purple swell to emerge. Within seconds, the swell burst, and two striped turtles came crawling out of the confused man's head, singing the "La Bamba" at the top of their lungs. Hermes grinned when this happened.

"See? You're already becoming your old self again!"

Liz grinned.

By the time it was lunch, Liz had collected twenty-three pages of notes, played eight games of Chinese checkers, and had beaten 126 men in a race, not in her tiger form. Smiling smugly, the goddess took a bow to her applauding audience. Then she threw back her head and let out a howl. Instantly, two black panthers came up from the ground, as if they were shadows. Liz climbed into the saddle between them, and bidding a farewell, headed back up Mount Olympus.

As the spiky-haired goddess was just about to make landing at the new goddess complex, she was cut off by a small thundercloud. "Hey! Watch where your going!" Liz yelled as she steered her shadow panthers out of the cloud's path. As it landed, Megan climbed regally off the top, followed by an entourage of flying monkeys.

"Isn't it great?!" she yelled to a parking Liz, indicating her cloud. "Hera and Artemis gave it to me because I'm doing so well in my lessons. Ooh, cool panthers by the way." Liz smiled in gratitude, then followed Megan into the dining hall. Katie was already seated at the table, telling Nicole and Aubrey about her morning.

"-I mean, Thalia's nice and all, but what if Hermes likes her more than me? What do you think; is she cuter than I am?"

Nicole sighed. "She was wearing a mask right?"

Katie rolled her eyes. "But that's not the point." She huffed. Pouting slightly, she turned and started her lunch. Soon Sonomi, Lauren and Colleen entered. Lunch was peaceful and delicious, with the only mishaps being Megan's rather constant belching, and Marjorie's random entrance on top of the potato salad.

After a finishing of ambrosia, Liz leaned back from the table and sighed. Then she fell out of her seat with a thud. Ad mist streams of laughter, she managed to pull herself up off the floor and walk out of the room with some dignity. That is until she ran into one of Megan's monkeys. "That's it, you are so dead." she hissed to the ape, changing into her tiger form.

No one else at the table knew what had hit them, but within seconds, a screaming monkey was flying around the room, followed by a growling streak of white. Goddesses screamed as dished were broken, food was smushed, and purple fuzz fell from the ceiling. I still got the touch Liz said smugly as she took a well aimed leap. Suddenly the chaos stopped. The goddesses came out of hiding and looked at the table. There, sitting in the middle of it was Liz still in tiger form, with a monkey tail hanging out of her mouth. Megan gave a scream and hit Liz over the head with a wok, causing the slightly bruised monkey to roll out of her mouth. Liz gave a disgusted cough.

"You really out to give those things a bath." she sniffed as she changed. Before Megan could respond, she was out the door and heading off to Hermes's place.

As she walked, Liz kept coughing up balls of purple fuzz and monkey fur. "That's the last time I try to eat one of those things." she vowed as she entered Hermes's house. It was a really well-made castle, with silver turrets adorned with huge jester hats, and mounds of diamonds cascading like waterfalls. "HEEEEELLLLLLLOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Liz hollered as she entered. No one answered immediately. In fact, no one answered for ten minutes. Liz was sitting on the couch in the hall, turning dust bunnies into hula dancers when Hermes came in through the back door. He came in, stepping on the dancers along the way, and sank into a chair.

"Zeus wanted me to help him." he said, before Liz could ask. "He was worried. Something about an untold evil residing in the Elysian fields. (A/N: Becca, I love you.) Hades was offended of course, so I had to run back and forth between the two, carrying insults. It ended in a draw, after Hades called Zeus a nancy pinhead, and Zeus called him an oversensitive peon. It was kind of amusing."

Liz grinned, picturing the scene for a moment. Then, standing up, she announced that she was in the mood to pull some random pranks. Hermes grinned.

"Let's go."

Liz seated herself comfortably against the wall of the cloud as she gazed down at her prey. Such fun mortals were! Liz cracked her knuckles, pointed her staff at a patch of earth in the center of the town, and clicked her tongue. Suddenly the earth began to shake and churn. As citizens looked on curiously, dust clouds billowed into the air. As they settled, a troupe of armadillos with tambourines began to play a slow waltz. As the beat picked up, the statue in Zeus's temple near by sprang to life, donned a neon green wig, and began to dance the polka. Hermes paled slightly. "Zeus is going to kill me." he pleaded.

Liz looked at him with a tranquil smile. "It is like Jesus." she stated.

"Who's Jesus?"

"Never mind."

Suddenly the armadillos and the statue burst into song before exploding in an array of ribbon and yellow pinecones. As people of the town screamed and ran for cover, Liz turned to her staff. "Yes Mister Sqeaky." she purred, stroking the duck. "Soon they will ALL be under our control." Hermes inched away from her as she let loose an evil cackle.

Liz spent the rest of afternoon wreaking havoc on Ancient Greece. She tortured Sparta, making all the warriors jump off cliffs like lemming in yoga positions. She tortured Troy, sending sparkly elephants raining down in middle of a battle. She even returned to Olympia, where she brought forth gigantic strawberries and carrots to plunder the town with eggs. Oh yes, everyone ran when they saw the omenous shadow of those two black panthers carrying the spiky-haired goddess. Everyone ran. And Liz loved it.

There was still a bit of time left before meditation when Liz and her mentor rolled into Athens. The citizens had already heard of this crazed goddess, and so where in doors. Liz scoffed at their futile attempts to ward her away. Concentrating hard, she began changing everyone's roof into slices of focashia bread. She then proceeded to change the sky a dark purple as hundreds of bananas rained down. Unfortunately, something stopped her before she could unleash anymore chaos.

"Hey! What are you doing?!" yelled a voice behind her. Liz whirled around, coming face to face with a pissed off, life-size teddy bear. Actually it was Sonomi. "What are you doing?" the goddess repeated. "This is MY city!"

"Actually, it's Athena's city." Liz replied cooly. Sonomi glared at her and gave a whistle. Suddenly there was a stampede of small bears coming behind her. They stopped inches away from Liz, weapons in hand, eyes daring her to make a move towards Sonomi. The Asian smirked.

"My city."

Liz narrowed her eyes. "Fine, if that's how you want to play the game." She growled. Crouching, she patted the earth, beckoning it to do her bidding. Slowly, her army of chickens and undead gerbils rose from the ground. They held clubs and axes and chittered and squawked threateningly to the teddy bears, who just glowered in response.

The two goddesses stood face to face, eyes locked, waiting for the other one to make a move. It was to be one of the most epic battles of the time, if Athena and Hermes hadn't rushed in a broken them up.

Sonomi gave a sniff and walked back to the Parthenon. "You're not worth my time anyway." She sneered. Liz gave a snide smile and sent her army back to Tartarus, where it waited. Then with a sweep of her robes, she left Athens, and the city breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wow, that was close." Hermes said as he flew alongside Liz. "I don't know how that match would have ended. Uh, I mean, I'm glad you didn't slaughter Sonomi. Please, don't kill me!!"

Liz smirked and let go of Hermes's hair. Directing her panthers, she guided them below the clouds to search for poor mortals completely oblivious to the world. She soon found one. Sitting by the side of the brook in the woods was a nymph. She laughed as she flipped her auburn hair over her shoulder and ran a small comb through it. "Daphne, you are one hot bitch." she murmured to herself, her emerald eyes dancing. Liz rolled her eyes.

"This calls for something special." the goddess decided. Reaching deep into her mind, she called to her favorite character.

Dirty Clarence? You are needed.

111111

Daphne was just about to braid her hair when a twig snapped behind her. Whirling around, the nymph came face to face with a-well, he looked like a bum. As Daphne backed up in disgust, the bum grinned lustfully.

"Hey suga. Name's Dirty Clarence."

(A/N I don't know how he talks Liz, sorry.)

11111

Liz watched, content from her cloud as Daphne ran through the forest screaming, the bum hot on her tail howling lustfully. Suddenly a gray pigeon flew in front of her face. Liz knew what that meant. Bidding Hermes a farewell, she changed into her tiger form and raced of to Hestia's.

On padded paws, the sneaky goddess entered Hestia's villa. Sonomi and Megan were there. Good. Time for a little payback. Liz silently crept up behind them, tail swishing dangerously. When she was about a foot away from them, she opened her jaws- and let loose an earth-shattering roar, drowned out only by Megan's and Sonomi's screams. Hestia came running into the room, torch in hand, ready to combat the foe who dared enter her house. When she saw that it was Liz, she breathed a sigh of relief and sat down. Sonomi and Megan didn't fare so well. Once their heartbeat returned to normal, they both sprang up and began chasing the Siberian tiger around the room. Hestia looked on in amusement.

"Hi guys, wow, I just heard a really loud roar on my island. Does anyone- woo, hello." Lindsay said, ducking just in time as a streak of white went over her head, followed by a flash of crimson and orange. The red head turned to Hestia, who just shrugged. Everyone else pretty much had the same reaction as Lindsay did as they came in, and Hestia had the same answer.

Just as Sonomi gathered her second wind and leaped at the tiger, a flash of light stunned all and brought tranquility. Hestia looked at her students, then cleared her throat to begin the session. Reaching behind her, the hearth goddess produced 10 identical red rugs. As she passed them out, she explained the lesson. "We are going to see how well you can meditate under pressure and time constraints. These rugs will be your meters. Oh, and Jason is going to accompany you."

Everyone gaped, then spun as a "hello" was heard from the front door. In walked Jason, smiling apprehensively as nine pairs of eyes latched onto him. He grew even more nervous as Megan and Colleen started giggling. "What?" he asked tentatively.

Megan burst out laughing while Colleen managed to gasp "How are your jewels Jason?"

"My what?" Jason asked, confused. Then realization hit him like an anvil. 'IT WAS YOU!!! Oh, I'm going to KILL you!!" But before any killing could be done, the room started to spin. All the goddesses and Jason clutched their rugs and held on as the room spun faster and faster- and finally stopped.

One by one, the immortals looked up and screamed. They were on a rock that jutted out over a lava flow from the volcano above them. Suddenly Hestia's voice could be heard Meditate, think light, make your carpet fly! Then she was gone, leaving them all alone. Lindsay shrugged, rolled out her rug, and fell asleep on it.

Wow breathed Lauren,Wish I could do that.

Shut up the hermit snapped, I'm tired. Go away

The rest of the goddesses (and Jason) rolled out their mats and began trying to meditate. Suddenly a huge fiery rock rolled down in their direction, spewing molten stone down on their heads. Everyone screamed again and cowered beneath their rugs. Their yells of distress woke Lindsay up. "Jason you idiot." she yawned before losing conscience again. "Just use your god powers to hold the fire off."

Jason grinned sheepishly. "Oh yea, I forgot." The goddesses glared at him. Liz brushed herself off and sat on her rug, breathing deeply, trying to calm herself and meditate. Everyone else followed suit while Jason drew a protective barrier around the rock, shielding it from flying rocks. Soon everyone was meditating.

Unfortunately, while Jason's shield held back the fire, it acted like an oven, and soon everyone was soaked in sweat. They kept at it though, as slowly, one by one, their carpets began to rise. No one noticed this, as they were all in their worlds of power. They didn't notice that the carpets had started to slowly drift towards Mount Olympus either. It was only when they were a few feet away that Aubrey yawned and opened her eyes.

"Hey! Look where we-AHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!" she screamed as her mental bond with her carpet was lost. Down she plummeted to earth, screaming all the way. Everyone else was jarred awake by this, and followed suite, with the exception of Lindsay, who was still fast asleep and was muttering something about cheddar cheese in bathing suits.

Hestia heard the thud and ran down the mountain to the heap of immortals. Slowly, with her help, they all untangled themselves. Lauren turned to Aubrey. "Next time, WARN us before you do something like that!" she yelled.

Aubrey rolled her eyes. "Oh yea, next time I'll be like 'Don't open your eyes cause then you fall to earth and become goddess gumbo like me!' How's that?!" she yelled back.

Suddenly a bolt of lightning struck between the two girls. As smoke cleared, Liz slowly pulled them apart. "Now now children. No more fighting until AFTER your nap." she said, tapping each of them on the head with her staff. The blondes glared at her and flounced off.

"Well, you all did well today." Hestia said brightly. "Especially you Lind- did she leave ALREADY?!" Indeed, it seemed as she was sleeping, Demeter pulled her back. Hestia shook her head, exasperated. "I will see you again tomorrow." With a yawn, the hearth goddess headed back up the mountain.

Liz changed into a tiger, raced up the mountain, then planted herself in front of the new goddess complex. "I'm going to wait here until the sun sets."she stated to the other goddesses who were struggling up the hill. Nicole, Katie and Jason sat down with her. They waited. They waited some more. Finally, Helios came struggling across the sky. "Helloooooooo!!!" Liz called. Helios spotted her, gave a cry of distress, and plummeted to the earth, setting the sun in the shortest sunset ever in history.

Nicole blinked. "Darn! I missed it! I'm going to bed." With that, they all decided to retire for the night.

In her room Liz was sitting comfortably in her bed, having a discussion with Dirty Clarence, who had decided to visit. He was telling her all about his adventure today.

"-so then, the chick turns into a tree! A TREE! I couldn't believe it! Then this shiny guy comes down from the clouds and starts KISSING the tree! I left after that. It was just too weird-"

Suddenly a scream, Lauren's, filled the air. Dirty Clarence was so surprised, he ran back into Liz's head to hide. The spiky-haired goddess just smiled sleepily. "Oops" she said as she turned over. "Guess I put the fuschia frogs in the wrong bed."

I hate, HATE not having effing spell check!!!! GRRRRRR! In other news:

Woohoo! I'm gettin' this DONE! Sorry about the sucky endingish area. Oh well. Next is the goddess of... insane, dancing to invisible music and extreme happiness, Nicole. Try saying that three times fast. Anyway, should I write Jason a chapter? Hmm? Maybe just a mini one? Let me know.
