Disclaimer: I don't own Xena or any of its characters!!

Summary: Based on the Seeds of Faith episode, it's what I think would have happened if Gabrielle accepted Ares offer.

A/N: This is my first time writing a Xena: The Warrior Princess Fanfic. Tell me how I can improve my story (Don't be too harsh with your words)

The Offer, The Agreement Their Lives

"Xena, calm down!"

Xena pulls Gabrielle out of Ares ear hearing(so Ares can't hear them talking)

"How could you, just betray me like that?"

"Like I said to Eli's ashes 'You probably think that I am betraying you by standing with Ares, but I'm just trying to use his knowledge for a Greater Good.' "

"All his Knowledge is about war, manipulating, and controlling people.  He's using you to get to me."

"He said that he wants me by his side, he sounded very sincere."

Xena gets an unbelieving look on her face."

Gabby adds, "He's changed!!"

Xena scoffs and says, "Gods can change, not Ares."

"How do you know if he's changed or not?"

"Because….he's a conniving bastard.  All his talk is lies.  He's a lying bastard."

"Xena!!" Gabby says in a warning tone,

"I thought you were my friend and thought you respected me."

"Xena, you're over reacting!!  I am your friend and I respect you."

"Than why are you siding with Ares? (My worst nightmare, Ares!!)"

"I'm using…"

Xena interrupts her, "Yeah…yeah!!   You're using his knowledge…blah…blah…blah…blah."

Xena adds sounding, pissed off, " You've disappointed me very much."

"Xena, Come on!  Ares cares about me."

"As?"

"As a friend, I think!?!"

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.  You pissed me off by standing by Ares side!!  You are betraying Eli, too.  By standing with Ares."  Xena says very pissed off

"Xena…"

Xena interrupts her again, "No!!  Don't talk to me ever again!  I never want to see you ever again!"

Xena walks away, disgusted.  Gabby has a hurt look on her face.  Ares sees that they're done talking.  Ares disappears and reappears where gabby is.  Gabby is watching Xena's figure going further and further away from Gabby.  Gabby turns around and walks straight into Ares.  She jumps up high, from the fright.

"Whoa!  Calm down, Gabrielle.  It's just me."

A frown appears on Gabby's face.

"What's wrong, Gabrielle?"

"Xena said 'I never want to see you ever again' When I told her I sided with you"  Gabby says in a sad voice,

Gabby starts crying uncontrollably, Ares comforts Gabby.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… it'll be ok.  She'll come around, probably."

Ares rocks her back and forth, Gabby falls asleep,  Ares lifts her up in his arms and disappears with a frown on his face.  He appears in his temple, he walks to aroom, It's a plain room with a big, fancy, extravagant bed.  It has a big blue quilt and three big pillows.  He pulls the quilt down, lays Gabby on the bed, takes off her boots and weapons.  Changes her into pajama pants and a shirt with his powers, (he doesn't look when he's changing her, he turned decent).  He folds her normal clothes on a tall black shelf.  He covers gabby up with the quilt all the way to under her chin.  A few hours later, Gabby wakes up.  At first she doesn't know where she is, then she remembers that Ares took her to his temple.  She sits up and notices that she is in pajamas.  She gets a angry look on her face.

"ARES!!"  Gabby yells,

Ares comes down and says………………………………………………..

"What??"

Gabby looks down at her pajamas.

"Oh!  I didn't look at you while I changed you(with my powers) into pajamas.  I told you I changed!!"  Ares says in realization and truthfully,

"I guess!?!?"

"I'll prove it to you."  Ares says sincerely,

"Okay?!?"  Gabby says unsure,

"Let me take you somewhere."

"Ok?!?  Where are we going?"

"It's a surprise."

Gabby holds onto Ares,  Ares disappears and reappears on Mount Olympus.
