Persephone and Adonis got along well for the next two weeks, they both understood each other better than anyone else possibly could, and after a while, Adonis asked Persephone out. It was right after sculpture class, the week before the dance.

"Can I talk to before you go to study hall?" Adonis asked Persephone when the bell rang, and she was gathering up her things.

"Um, sure, I guess so." Persephone's heart skipped a beat. She seriously hoped he would ask her out.

He always walked her to study hall in the cafeteria before he went to math in the new wing of the school. But this time, they stopped in front of the cafeteria.

"Hey, um, you know there's a dance next week?" He was so tall, at least a foot higher than her. He looked her in the eyes.

"Yeah, I was thinking about going. Why?" Better to play it cool, Persephone, then he'll ask.

"I wanted to know if you would go with me? I mean, I think you're the only person I'd ask anyway, so-?"His voice trailed off.

"Yeah, sure, of course I'll go. I'd love to. Pick me up at seven-thirty, okay? You know where my house is." He had been over several times before.

"Great! Well, see you next sculpture class, okay!"

"Yeah, bye!"

He walked away but Persephone stood there, leaning on the wall, watching him.

"Persephone, did you say yes?"

Persephone looked over and saw Aphrodite tapping her foot impatiently.

She sat up and walked over to her. "Yeah, I did. Were you listening the whole time?"

"Ugh, of course I was!" Aphrodite smiled. "Yay, our plan is working!"

Persephone smiled weakly. "Yeah, I guess it is."

"What are you wearing!" Aphrodite gasped as she saw what Persephone had on.

She looked down. Her dress was a black halter that went down past the middle of her thighs. She stole Aphrodite's hoop earrings in hope they would look good, and her long black hair was down. "What?" Persephone was confused. Is it my shoes? They were silver heels that her mother had given her two years ago, for when they would fit her in high school.

"You look awesome! And not slutty at all!" Aphrodite added. She was going with her current boyfriend, Michael Boar. He was cute, but was very dumb and annoying most of the time. I wish I could go out with Adonis. She thought, bitterly. She was wearing a pink and yellow satin dress with her hair down. She knew she looked as pretty as Persephone, so there was nothing to be jealous of, she told herself.

The door rang. "I'll go check it, it's probably Michael. He's always early." Aphrodite said, picking up her purse.

When she opened the door, it wasn't Michael, it was Adonis. "Hi, Adonis, how's football going?" She asked in a sweet voice. She noticed he had flowers and chocolates.

"It's fine, the season's almost over, though." He said brusquely, looking around.

"Yes, I know," Aphrodite answered coolly, "I'm on the cheerleading squad, remember?"

"Oh, um, I don't pay attention to the cheerleaders when I'm playing games. They are just a distraction."

Aphrodite was so offended that she just opened the door and said "Come on, I think Persephone's ready." Humph, cheerleaders are not just a distraction! She thought, angrily.

Persephone waited impatiently for Adonis to come, and when he came around the corner into the living room, she was so happy. "Wow, you look nice!" he said, putting down the flowers and chocolates. "So do you!" she replied happily.

Persephone and Adonis managed to stay together for a whole year. When Adonis was in sophomore year, Aphrodite came over and talked to him a lot.

"Adonis, do you want to go to a party? Just you and me?"

"No, I can't, I'm going out with you're sister, and that would be wrong."

But on the other hand, Persephone wouldn't break up with him. "No, it's not fair! And you don't even like him for his brain! You only like looking at him!" Persephone would argue with her every day about it.

Aphrodite had gone two weeks without a boyfriend when she decided that her sister's friendship with her was over. She finally convinced Adonis to go to one party with her, just as friends.

After the party, they started hanging out more and more together. In fact, Adonis started to cheat on Persephone. He would spend Saturday with Persephone and Sunday with Aphrodite.

Whenever Aphrodite was with him, she only wanted to please him so he would stay with her. One day, they were playing flag football together and Persephone saw them kissing. She was livid, and asked him how he could do this to her after all they had gone through.

"I'm sorry, Persephone, he likes me more I guess." Aphrodite sneered.

"I HATE YOU!" Persephone ran towards Aphrodite and started tackling her to the ground. She was crying and punching, while Aphrodite was screaming and biting her.

"You promised you would give him to me!"

"Those terms were not contractual!"

"What the hell does that mean? I don't care, you promised!"

"What is going on?"

The school principal pushed the girls apart. "Why are you girls fighting? You used to be great friends."

The school principal was very buff and powerful, and the two sisters didn't want to get suspended. So they told him.

"Well then, what do you think?" The principal asked Adonis.

" I like them both! It would be wrong to choose! I'm not like one of those guys on 'Next', who can just crush a girls dreams of being with that guy!"

"What's Next?" the principal asked.

"Some show on Mtv." Persephone and Aphrodite said at the same time.

"Shut up! Don't copy me!" They yelled angrily.

"Okay girls. Normally I wouldn't do this, but you both want to date this guy, and I've been reading a part of the bible about king Solomon, and how he offered to separate the baby. Now you girls are going along with this, so don't say no!"

"Okay…"They wanted to know what he had in mind.

"Aphrodite, I like you, you went out with my son, so you get to go out with him during the spring and summer. Persephone, you get the fall and winter."

"What?" Who in their right minds would agree to this?

"Okay, as long as we don't get in trouble." Aphrodite said, already pleased because it was spring.

"Good." The principal walked back to the building.

Persephone was angry, but there was nothing she could do. It wasn't really Adonis' fault what happened, but she went up to him and smacked him anyways. "You jerk! See you in the fall, a$$!"

She stomped away, and ran home crying. Her friendship with her sister and her relationship with her boyfriend were now jaded by their recent actions, and she knew she could never forgive them.

"I will beat you this time!" Aphrodite shamelessly flirted with Adonis, her friends and his friends, shamelessly watching. They were playing flag football on the beach, on a hot summer day.

"Hey, Aphrodite." A loud voice called out to her. "Can I talk to you?"

Aphrodite looked over. It was her old boyfriend, Michael Boar. He kept trying to get back together with her. "Ugh, I will be right back Adonis." She reached up and kissed him on the lips, making sure Michael saw.

"Coming!" She yelled, jogging over.

"Hey, lets go over to the snack shack. I want to talk to you there." Michael said, grabbing her arm and pulling her with him.

"Okay..?"She said helplessly.

When they got there, he ordered a hotdog. "Share it with me?" he asked politely.

"No. What do you want, Michael? I'm not ever going out with you again, you disgusting turd!"

He got in her face. "If you won't go out with me, you sure won't go out with the idiot who took my place on the team."

"Get out of my face! Your breath always did stink!"

"No! You suck! You will go out with me, or else!"

"You know, I don't like you talking to my girlfriend that way."

Aphrodite pushed Mike out of her face and got up. Adonis put his arm around her.

Next thing she knew, Michael pulled a knife out of his pocket and Adonis flung Aphrodite away from him.

Adonis was killed that night. Michael had split by the time Adonis was rushed to the hospital, and no one at Olympus heard from him again.

However, on Aphrodite's desk, right by the window in her room, was a note.
