Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite, and Ares

"I just got a phone call from Artemis," Zeus told everyone, "And she said Poseidon and Athena were at the kangaroo shop."

"Kangaroo shop?" Everyone asked in unison.

"I know it sounds crazy, but it would explain why there was a kangaroo in the hotel room."

So they all made their way to the kangaroo shop in hopes of finding Pothena. When they arrived there, the store manager was frowning at them and he looked angry.

"You stole one my kangaroos!" he pointed to Zeus.

"Why would I need to steal a kangaroo?"

"I don't know, you tell me."

"We were really drunk last night and don't remember anything, would you tell us what happened?" Aphrodite asked him.

"I could just show you the surveillance cameras." (A/N: don't you just love surveillance cameras?)

None of them were prepared for what they were about to see.

On the TV screen it showed Poseidon and Athena stumbling into the place looking drunk.

"Hello, how may I help you?" Store dude asked them.

"Leave Athena alone! Please!" Poseidon started sobbing.

"Um...are you okay?"

"No! Because you're messing with Athena."

"Huh?"

"If you keep messing with Athena, your gonna have to go through me!"

"Have you been doing drugs or something?"

"All you people want is more more more more! LEAVE HER ALONE!"

"Who's Athena?"

"Don't play stupid with me, you know exactly who Athena is!"

Store dude was beyond confused now.

"You mean like the greek goddess Athena?"

"That's me!" Athena shouted in the background.

"Well duh, who else would I be talking about?"

"Are you sure drinking was the only thing you were doing?" Store dude was pretty sure Poseidon was on crack too, why else would he be talking about gods like they're real.

Poseidon ignored his question and pointed a finger at him and said, "I know what you were doing before we came in here, I saw you with my own three eyes!"

"Um...people don't have three eyes."

Before Poseidon could respond, Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite, and Ares came into the store.

"Did you all come to buy kangaroos?"

"No, of course not!"

"Then why are you here?"

"For food," They all said like it was completely normal to go to a kangaroo shop that actually doesn't exist to go get food.

"Okay just leave me alone!" Store dude ran out of the store sobbing.

What was his problem?

"Where are the kangaroo's at?" Athena wondered.

"Maybe in the back of the store."

As all of the gods besides Hera and Zeus went to search for kangaroos for whatever odd reason, Zeus' face got right in the camera and he started shaking it and shouted, "I WANT MY CHICKEN!"

"Oh, so now you like chicken better than me?" Hera questioned him, "It's bad enough that you cheat on me with those silly mortal women, but chicken, really Zeus?"

"Get over it all ready! At least chicken doesn't nag all the time!" Zeus screamed.

"You take that back!"

"Never."

"You're such a bad husband, what did I ever do to deserve this?" she looked down sadly.

"Don't you start crying, it could be worse, we could be like Persephone and Hades. She's his niece, and that's nasty."

"Um, it is worse. You're my BROTHER!"

"Oh right, I forgot that. Anyway, All I wanted was a piece of fried chicken, is that too much to ask for? You never make me chicken anymore."

"I would make you chicken if you'd quit cheating on me all the time."

"I know, but I just don't feel like we don't connect anymore."

"Maybe because the last time we 'connected', you gave me CRABS!"

"Shhh!" Zeus tried to make her be quiet. No one could know about that, they'd laugh at him for centuries.

"Don't you try to shut me up, do you know how embarrassing it was for me get the courage to ask Apollo to help me get rid of them? I itched for weeks!"

So while Zeus and Hera talked about chicken and their STD problems, everyone else was doing things that drunk people do...

"Say meow," Athena told one of the kangaroos, even though kangaroos don't meow.

"Hey Aphrodite!" Ares yelled, "Let's f*ck this kangaroo."

O_O(Poseidon and Athena's faces)

"We'll get to that later babe, I'm trying to give this one a makeover." She was putting lipstick on one of them and it was glaring at her angrily.

Meanwhile Poseidon had manifested a karaoke machine and he attempted to sing along with the kangaroo even though kangaroos don't sing...

I like big butts and I cannot lie! You other brothers can't deny, when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist and a round thing in yo face you get sprung!

He put the microphone in the kangaroos face expecting it to sing the next part, but he only sat there.

"Really? You're just gonna sit there with that dumb look on your face?"

It still just sat there.

"Forget it!" Poseidon threw the microphone and it landed in the front of the store.

Now in the back they could hear Zeus and Hera's conversation.

Hera: You're lucky I don't tell everyone you have crabs!

Zeus: You wouldn't dare!

Athena, Poseidon, Ares, and Aphrodite all looked at each other and then fell over laughing.

"Oh my gods, Zeus has crabs!"

When he heard that, Zeus ran to the kangaroo room.

"You didn't hear any of that did you?"

From the sound of them laughing , he'd guessed they did.

"Oh crap," he mumbled.

"Don't you mean oh crabs?" Hera said in an amused tone.

"This is all your fault!"

"Nope, it's your fault for sleeping with all of those mortals."

when the other gods could breathe again, they got up off of the ground.

"That made my day," Poseidon said, "I can't wait to tell Hades this."

"Hey Poseidon, wanna go to Vegas?" Athena asked like that was something you ask everyday.

"Sure why not."

And they poofed into thin air. When the rest of the gods left, a kangaroo followed them.

Ares, Aphrodite, Zeus, and Hera all were completely shocked.

"Dude, you have crabs," Ares told Zeus as if he didn't already know that.

"Well, at least now we know where to find Poseidon and Athena." He desperately wanted to change the subject from his itchy problem.

In Vegas

Zeus called the rest of the gods and they all met up in Vegas to find Pothena. Although they still didn't know specifically where they were, this narrowed down their search and that meant they were closer to getting this over with and moving on with their lives.

Athena and Poseidon POV

Athena didn't know how she ended up in Vegas with Poseidon in a random hotel room, and she didn't know anything that happened the night before because she couldn't remember a thing.

"We must've been pretty drunk last night," Poseidon said trying to break the awkward silence that had been in the room.

"Yup. I wonder what happened."

"I don't know, I remember something about a crab though." he scratched his head.

"Well that doesn't really help, we should've never drank, alcohol makes people act foolish. It was very unwise..." she went on a rant about not drinking, and Poseidon didn't say anything, he just watched her.

She looks beautiful today, he thought.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Uh...like what?"

"That, you're staring."

"Oh...there's something...in your hair. I'll get it out."

Even though there actually wasn't anything in her hair, he ran his fingers through it just because he wanted to.

"It's out now."

they stood there kind of awkwardly for a second.

"We should probably leave now," Athena said.

"Yeah, that seems like a good idea," Poseidon agreed.

When they were out of their room and almost to the elevator Athena saw a girl checking Poseidon out, and surprisingly she didn't like it. It didn't help when the girl got in the same elevator as them.

"Hi! I'm Ashley," she introduced herself.

Her eyes didn't leave Poseidon once as she began to make small talk.

"So, are you two together," she asked them.

Poseidon and Athena didn't know what to say. If they said no, that Ashley girl would keep flirting with Poseidon which Athena didn't like, but if they said yes, it would just be even more awkward for them, since they're not.

"I'm with someone," Poseidon told her.

It wasn't exactly a lie, because technically he was, because he's married to Amphitrite.

When the elevator doors opened, Ashley still kept talking.

Will she just leave?" Athena was getting tired of her really fast.

"Well if anything happens with you and your girl friend, you can call me." Ashley smiled at Poseidon showing off all of her blindingly white teeth.

She must a lot of nerve, to do that right in front of me. Oh wait, Athena thought, Poseidon and I aren't even together. This whole liking Poseidon thing was so complicated, she almost wished they were enemies again. Well, not exactly, but things would be a lot less awkward.

Luckily Ashley didn't get to talk much longer because there were a group of people coming towards them. When they got closer Athena realized it was Zeus, Hades, Demeter, Hermes, Artemis, Hera, Aphrodite, Apollo, and Ares. She'd never been so happy to see them in her life.
