So on Saturday I got 1.86k views on this story alone and needless to say I was excited, but for some reason I also got the least reviews that day which made me go from this :) to :( . So fix it. Anyway, here's the chapter.
It was the day before Christmas and everyone was excited in Olympus. In the middle of the throne room there was a huge Christmas tree with a whole lot of presents under it. The entire room was decorated because the demigods from Camp Half-Blood were coming the next day and there was going to be a Christmas party.
"I'm so excited!" Aphrodite squealed.
"You're always excited," Athena told her.
"I know, but Christmas gives me an excuse to shop like a maniac."
"Okay then."
"What do you think we should do today?" Zeus asked.
Everyone knew what they were doing the next day but no one had anything planned for today.
"We could go annoy people by Christmas caroling at their doors," Apollo suggested.
"That sounds fun," Hermes said, "But where should we start?"
Everyone looked at each other for a second and said, "Hades!"
(A/N: Let's say for the sake of the story that they can go to the Underworld uninvited.)
Zeus, Apollo, Poseidon, Athena, Artemis, Demeter, Hera, Ares, and Aphrodite all huddled together as they walked to Hades' palace in the Underworld. Zeus knocked on the door and when it opened they all started singing.
"Deck the halls with boughs of holly! Fa la la la la la la la la! Tis the season to be jo-" Hades slammed the door in their face before they could finish.
"Let's try again."
So they rang the doorbell, but this time Persephone answered.
"We wish you a merry Christmas! We wish you a merry Christmas! We wish you a merry Christmas, and a happy new y-" She slammed the door in their face like Hades did.
"Maybe we should invite Hades to the Christmas party," Athena said.
"Okay fine."
Zeus knocked on the door again. This time Nico answered.
"We need to talk to Hades."
"Tell them I'm not here," The gods heard Hades whisper in the background.
"Uh…, he's not here," Nico lied.
"We know he's here."
"But he said he's not."
"We know you're lying because you just said he said he's not here."
"I didn't say he said anything."
"Huh?" Everyone was confused now.
"You're saying that I said he said he's not here when really I didn't say he said anything, I'm just saying things to confuse you."
"Oh my gods! Just tell him he can come to the Christmas party!" Zeus shouted. He was tired of that emo boy confusing him.
When they were back in Olympus they were bored again.
"I have an idea!" Hermes said.
"Will it get anyone sent to jail?" Athena asked.
"Possibly…"
"Okay then, what is it?" Poseidon asked him.
"One of us can pretend to be Santa Clause and sneak into someone's houses."
"But who would do it?"
Everyone looked at Zeus.
"Nope, I can't. Hera would get all paranoid and think I'm going to knock people up."
"Nothing's ever stopped you before," Hera muttered.
"What about Hephaestus?"
"No, his ugliness would scare everyone," Aphrodite said.
"I'm not that bad looking," Hephaestus huffed.
"You look like a sumo wrestler lizard with a jacked up leg and whiskers," Aphrodite told him.
Everyone tried not to laugh so they wouldn't make him feel bad, but it didn't work. The whole throne room shook with laughter coming from all of the gods.
"Why don't you people just leave me alone?" Hephaestus ran out of the room crying.
"Anyway, so who's gonna do it?" Hermes asked.
"I think Poseidon should," Athena said.
"Well she's the smart one. Looks like you're doing it Poseidon."
"What exactly am I supposed to do?"
"Go into a house and try not to get caught and leave presents."
"And what's the point of this?"
"There isn't one," Hermes said, "We just wanna laugh at you when you make a fool of yourself and possibly get sent to jail for life."
"Oh great."
5 minutes later Poseidon was wearing a Santa Clause suit and Athena was helping him stuff it with cotton to make him look fat while the other gods were getting the presents he would give out.
It was kind of awkward because they had to act like they weren't in a secret relationship while they were around everyone else.
When Athena was about to help Poseidon put on his Santa beard, Poseidon unexpectedly kissed her. It was really quick and no one saw it but Athena's eyes still widened.
"Someone could've seen you!" she whisper yelled although she was blushing.
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. You look so smart today." He wiggled his eyebrows at her.
"Thanks? You look really…um, watery."
"Thanks, I've been working out."
When they were done with Poseidon's suit Hermes attached a small camera on it so the gods could see what was going on from Olympus.
Poseidon
He couldn't believe he was doing this. After stopping at McDonald's for something to eat Poseidon looked for the nearest house with a chimney to go through. When he spotted one without smoke coming up from it he climbed on to the roof.
How the hades am I supposed to fit through there? He examined the small opening and figured there was no way he would fit through there. So he decided to do the most reasonable thing, break into the house.
'This is so stupid,' he thought.
He opened the door and as soon as he got in he tripped over something and it made a loud noise. Then he heard footsteps.
"Santa, is it really you?" A little girl asked when she saw him.
Crap.
"Um…of course it's me," Poseidon said trying to change his voice.
A smile spread across the girl's face.
"Hi Santa, my name is Katie."
"I'm P-, You already know who I am."
"Come in the kitchen with me, I made you milk and cookies," Katie said, "But we have to be quiet, my mommy and daddy are upstairs sleeping."
Poseidon had no choice but to follow her into the kitchen. They sat in the kitchen eating cookies and Katie started a conversation.
"I'm so excited you're here! I stay up every year to see you, and I finally am for the first time!"
He let her get her excitement out and she did most of the talking while he nodded and made Santa Claus like sounds for about ten minutes.
"Uh…yeah, that's good and all, but I'm gonna have to go soon to give all of the other little boys and girls their presents."
"Did you bring me anything?"
"Yeah, I got you a…" his voice trailed off when he remembered that he left the bag with the toys in it on top of the roof and the only thing he had with him was a McDonald's bag.
"I got you a box of 10 piece chicken nuggets."
Katie looked disappointed so Poseidon gave her his drink too.
"Here's a coke," he said, "Coca cola, not cocaine."
"What's cocaine?" Katie asked curiously.
"Nothing, don't tell your mom and dad about this conversation."
"Why not?"
"Because I want it to be our secret."
"Don't worry, I can keep a secret."
"Good, I'll be going now."
"Wait," she said. Then she hugged Poseidon.
"Santa you're the best!"
"Um…yeah, I'm on a strict schedule so I have to leave."
"Oh okay then, see you next year."
As Poseidon walked for the door he asked, "You're in high school right?"
"I'm four years old."
"Oh well finish junior high, don't do drugs and all of that good stuff. Ho ho ho. Bye."
Poseidon let out a sigh of relief once he was outside.
He got his stuff off of the roof and teleported back to Olympus. As soon as everyone saw him they started laughing since they'd saw everything.
"Really Poseidon, Coca Cola not cocaine?" Athena said.
"Laugh all you want, but I'd like to see one of you try to do it."
"Nope, that's what you're for," Apollo said.
"Anyway, I'm gonna go change out of this, I have cotton in places that cotton should never be."
REVIEW OR I'LL EAT YOUR SOULS! Lol just kidding…or am I?
