Apollon woke up to the sunlight shining into his room. He didn't realize when he had fallen asleep. Looking over to his side a smile spread across his face. Yui was peacefully sleeping with her head resting on his chest. Her silent breathes told him that she was still alive and well.
"Fairy, wake up. We need to go talk to my father," Apollon said as he gently started to shake her. Yui slowly opened her eyes. It took her a few seconds to remember where she was, but once she saw Apollon's face, a smile formed on her lips.
"Good morning Apollon-san. I guess I fell asleep without knowing it."
"I fell asleep too, but I'm really happy that we were able to sleep together like this. It would be nice to always wake up with you by my side."
Yui blushed which in return made Apollon lean down and kiss her. He then leaned away and brushed some of her hair to the side. "Should we go see my father now?"
"Yes, let's go. Ah, but first! Do you mind if I go change? I don't want him to see that I'm still wearing this outfit."
Apollon laughed a little, "Of course. I'll walk with you and wait outside your room while you change."
"Hai!" Yui replied.

It was still pretty early in the day. All the Greek Gods were still in their rooms and most likely asleep. Apollon and Yui silently walked through the hallway hand in hand. Once they made it in front of two double doors, Apollon let go of Yui's hand and began to open one of them. As they made their way inside, they came face-to-face with Zeus. He was casually sitting on his throne with a smile on his face.
"I had a feeling you'd come see me," he said.
"Father, we came to ask for your help."
"What do you need help with?"
"Father, I love Fairy and I want to be with her for the rest of my life…But she's a human and I'm a Greek God. The way things are, we won't be able to stay together and I don't want that. Can't you help us?"
Zeus could see the pleading look in his son's eyes. Remembering the incident that happened in the past with Cassandra, Zeus wasn't sure if helping them would be a good idea. He didn't want to see Apollon get hurt again. He never admitted to it, but his son's misery broke his heart. As a father, of course he wanted what was best for his son.
"If you two love each other and want to be together, then a sacrifice will have to be made. Either you my son will have to become a human, or Miss Yui will have to become a Goddess."
"A Goddess? Is that possible?" Yui said in surprise.
"Indeed it is. But, there's a certain ritual that has to be done. It's a long process, but it can be done."
"Did you know about it all this time?" Apollon spoke up. He was also taken aback from the new information.
Zeus nodded his head. "I didn't tell you about it when you were with Cassandra because fate had already decided that she was not the one for you. She did love you, but by dying, it showed you that you could not be together."
"So then…I'm the one that was meant to be with Apollon?" Yui never believed in fated lovers, especially in real life, but it sounded like she was meant to be with a Greek God.
"Yes, that's how it is. Just like humans, some Gods have to suffer in order to obtain true happiness. You've gone through so much Apollon, but now you've finally found what you've been looking for."
Apollon looked over at Yui who looked back at him. He then looked over to Zeus. "If I became a human, would you get mad?"
"Apollon! I thought we talked about this earlier! You're not going to turn into a human!" Yui didn't want Apollon to sacrifice being a Greek God just for her sake. It was unheard of for a great and powerful God to step down just for a mere human.
Zeus chuckled a little. "Then would you be willing to turn into a Goddess, Miss Yui?"
"Me, a Goddess? I…I don't know. Would I still be able to see my family back home? Can I still live my normal life in Japan?"
"You could. I'd say it would be easier in making you a Goddess then having Apollon permanently becoming a human. He's the Greek God of the Sun. He's very important."
"Fairy, you don't have to…"
"Apollon, if it means we can be together and I can still become a human when I'm at home then I'll do it," Yui said with a warm smile. She then looked back at Zeus. "What would I need to do in order to become a Goddess?"
"Well, let's see. You'd need approval from all the other Greek Gods. You'll also have to bathe in the water of youth. Then there's the task of sleeping with my son from midnight until dawn."
"WHAT?!" Yui blurted out.
"Yes and while you're together, you'll have to wear a certain hair piece. It's not too much to do I'd say. You'll be able to become a Goddess in no time, but you better hurry. There's not that much time."
Yui looked at the man's smiling face and wondered how he could say everything so calmly. Apollon grabbed onto her hand which made her look at him. "Fairy, if you're not ready then I'll be more then happy to become a human."
"No Apollon you can't…I said I'd become a Goddess so that's what I'll do! First we have to get the approval of all the Greek Gods, right? So let's get to class and wait for them there."
Apollon smiled as he took Yui's hand and kissed the back of it. A crimson blush appeared on her face just as he expected. "You know Fairy, if we're going to be together, you shouldn't blush with such a small kiss."
"He's right, there's so much more that happens behind closed doors," Zeus added.
What did I get myself into? Yui thought as she looked down, clearly embarrassed by their words.
"Thanks father. We'll be on our way," Apollon said as he then turned towards Yui. "Let's get going Fairy."
Yui nodded her head and bowed at Zeus before they started to walk off. Zeus kept his eyes on them until they were out of sight. Just imagining that he'd soon have a daughter-in-law made him inwardly cheer with joy.
