The Odyssey

The Odyssey

Chapter 5-

Odysseus and his crew left The Sunny Village thinking in what Hestia's answer would be. Odysseus and his men waited and waited. Then Hestia finally stopped by to fill Odysseus and men with the good news.

Hestia said, "I'm sorry I have taken a while in my arrival, but I am happy to say that I am not the barrier of bad news. I will consider marrying Apollo. But first we need to meet in a closer way to see how we react with each other."

"Like on a date?" Odysseus replied skeptically.

"Mhm." Hestia shook her head.

Odysseus had not thought about all the details. But he would make the preparations later. So all in a rush he answered, "Thank you so much Hestia! My men and I will make all the preparations, don't worry. You could meet Apollo on a date on Friday night at the Grand Fish Fillet Ball at six o'clock. Good?"

"Great, see you later Odysseus. Thanks again."

"No problem. Goodbye."

Odysseus and his men jumped with joy! They were so happy this was all working out so far.

Friday came like in the blink of an eye and Odysseus and his men got all ready and dressed up. They were going to have dinner too. Odysseus figured it would be best if they sat at the next table to also listen in on the date. He and his crew entered the bright hallway and sat down. They just ordered wine, on the count that they had no money. They watched as Hestia and Apollo laughed and stared at each other admiringly. They look very happy together. Odysseus thought. Suddenly the lights dimmed and a very romantic song came on. The couple stared at each other and without looking away from each other they stood up. They walked to the middle of the dance floor, held hands, and glided gently across the tiles. It looked liked something you would find in a crummy chick flick, which was usually some thing that bothered Odysseus, but not this time. Looks like I may be going home after all. At the end of the night both Apollo and Hestia came up to Odyssey and his crew and told them how thrilled they were that Odysseus started this relationship.

"We want to get married as soon as possible!" Hestia announced holding Apollo's hand.

"Yes, she's perfect for me and I couldn't be happier with anyone else!"

"I am very excited for you and since you have helped me so much I shall prepare all the wedding plans for you so you two can enjoy each other." Odysseus said with a smile.
