Thanks to everyone who has reviewed so far! I had no idea this would be so popular!
I tried to write this chapter in Hera's POV, but it just didn't click, so it's Zeus's POV!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the gods or Macy's...
"See, didn't that help?" Hera asked.
"Yeah, sure it did." I said, my voice a tad on the sarcastic side.
"Yes, I thought so too!" she said.
Hera stopped to talk to one of her friends and left me standing here. A woman with a red dress and blonde hair came out of a bathroom. She had a piece of toilet paper stuck to her high heeled shoe. Every time she walked, it followed her. A smile crossed my face and the toilet paper lady smiled back at me. Then she decided she was going to try to walk like a model. The toilet paper swung around and I started laughing. She gave me a confused look and then looked down at her shoe. Her face turned bright red and she ran away.
"ZEUS! WHERE YOU LOOKING AT THAT GIRL?!?" Hera asked in her man voice. She really loves that.
"She had toilet paper on her shoe!" I said.
She looked at the girl who was fading into the crowd. Her gaze softened. "Okay, you're off the hook this time." Then she said, "I've made reservations for Au Granite de Lou for seven o'clock this evening. It's formal night, so I need to go dress shopping. I think it would do you some good to come with me." Hera told me as she walk away.
Dress shopping? Are you serious? Ugh… I set off in the direction that Hera took off. I thought I had lost her until I glimpsed her walking into a store. I looked up at the sign, "Macy's". I just stood there staring, thing about what horrors waited inside.
I didn't even notice the lady that came out of the store and led me inside. "Lord Zeus, are you looking for a complete makeover, or are you just here for some more suits?"
"Uh…" Hera's picking out a new dress. It's a new step in our relationship. "Make me over!" I shouted, a wee bit louder than necessary. My beard started sparking. Calm down, calm down. Don't get so excited. I mentally slapped myself. Then I mentally shook my head and said thanks.
"Are you okay?" the lady asked me.
"Oh, yes of course. Why do you ask?"
"You had a weird look on your face. If you need a bathroom, it's right over there." She pointed to a door.
I laughed, remembering the lady and toilet paper incident. "No, no. I do not need a bathroom!"
"Alrighty then, what look do you want to go with?"
"Hmm… surprise me!" I said.
The lady smiled. She pushed me into a dressing room and threw some clothes at me. I didn't even look at them as I slid them on. I came out and stared at the mirror. The lady asked, "What do you think?"
I looked at my reflection. I was wearing Bermuda shorts, a Hawaiian shirt, sandals with socks, and a glass of nectar. "I look like my brother!" I shouted, my beard igniting. I took a deep breathe, calm down…
The lady was cowering behind a chair. Once I was completely flame free, she came out and said, "I just thought that if you and Poseidon both looked alike, you might get along better."
"Are you insisting my brother and I are not on well terms?" I asked, my beard sparking again.
"No, I just though- I was just- PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!" she squeaked.
Wow, this girl was really scared of me. "I'm sorry," I said. I didn't want to lose her fashion expertise.
"Umm… I'll get someone else to help you." she said as she scampered away.
A few minutes later, a new girl came out. She was wearing all black; black hair, black eyeliner, black pants with chains hanging down, black shirt, and black biker boots. "Try these on for size." she said.
I stepped into the dressing room, slightly because I was afraid of her, and slightly because I couldn't wait to see what she picked out.
I threw on the clothes and leaped outside. I gazed into the mirror. "Whoa!" was all I could say. I was an exact replica of the girl standing in front of me. Right down to the spiked bracelets.
"Ya like it?" she asked.
I could get used to this! "ZEUS? WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?" a man voice yelled at me.
I whipped around. Hera was standing there with the first girl that helped me. "Hera!"
"What are you doing?"
"Trying on clothes! I think this is the look!" I said.
"Uh, NO! Take these clothes off immediately!" she yelled. "Darla can help you find something suitable. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go try on some more dresses."
Hera walked off with my black inspired helper. It was just me and Darla. Darla was standing in a corner looking scared. "Help me find some more clothes!" I commanded.
"If you ask me nicely." she said.
I sighed, "PLEASE!"
"Okay!" she skipped away and came back with some more clothes. "Try these."
I took the clothes and went into the dressing room again. I came out and looked into the mirror. I was a cowboy! I had on a plaid shirt, Levi pants, stirrups, boots, a vest, and a cowboy hat.
"Hmm, you know what? That look is not for you…" she got a new bunch of clothes and handed them to me. I went back into the dressing room and tried them on. I came back out and looked. I was wearing a pin stripped suit that was a shade darker than my old one.
"This is perfect!" I said. I walked away and tried to find Hera.
"Wait!" Darla yelled. "You have to take those off before you can buy them!"
"Oh, how embarrassing!" I said and changed back into my regular suit. I walked away and tried to find Hera again.
Hera was waiting for me, a big bag in her hand. "Come on. I've got to get to the salon. I'm having my hair done."
I paid for my suit and we walked to the salon. "Honey, you're getting a trim, too."
Hera walked over and sat in a chair. "Zeus, I'm ready for you!" a voice said. I turned. Aphrodite was standing in front of a chair motioning for me to set down.
I sat down and Aphrodite asked, "What look are we going for, shug?"
"Uh… I got a new suit. It's a bit darker than this one."
"Okay! We'll trim the beard and- It'll be a surprise!"
She put a pair of blindfolds on me so I couldn't see. Several hours later, she took my blindfolds off. I looked at my appearance. My usually messy beard was braided into a long strand. My hair was also braided the same way as my beard was, and my eyebrows were trimmed to perfection. My mustache was shorter and I looked great!
"Thanks Dite!" I shouted as I looked for Hera. She was no where to be found.
"She went home to get ready for your big date!"
"Okay!" I ran out the door and down the street to our house.
