Disclaimer: I just wrote this,

And this is crazy,

But I don't own the concept,

So please don't sue me!

That just barely fit. Big ups to the song "Call Me Maybe" because the end of the video is hilarious. A/N at the bottom.

My job is really tough. Everybody wants love and wants to be loved, no matter what they say. The problem is that if they don't admit it to themselves, then my powers are limited. I can't help a person who's just going to turn all of my offers down.

And yet, I get requests from everyone from ages five to three-thousand (Yes, Olympians pray to me too) asking for a perfect match. You know who I would've loved to set up? Edward and Bella. Their relationship was so heart-wrenching that I almost destroyed Ms. Meyers for doing a better job than I would've.

But that was an easy setup. My point is that people don't see how much work goes into true love. As much as some people would like to believe, sex isn't true love, it's lust. So basic misunderstandings and mortal ignorance interfere with my job.

Oh, and then there are mortal choices. As much as I would like to believe, I don't completely control love. A lot of it relies on how mortals handle themselves. My job ends once I set them up with their match. Though I can take it farther and give them a heck of a ride. Many people find this mean, but think about it. If you survive all of my obstacles, then can't you survive everything? Isn't the bond strong enough? Exactly.

So creating true love isn't as easy as snapping my fingers, or brewing a love potion (which aren't even permanent, by the way). It takes dedication and a love for love. Thank god my daughters help me out a little.

I honestly didn't like Aphrodite much before writing this. These make me think about how much trouble everyone goes through for anything that they do.

Anyway, I sincerely apologize for taking so long to type less than 300 words. I hope to become like cole-lit and update this almost daily, so don't you worry. And I got some done in my absence, so look for me tomorrow. After five, though, since I have an after school event.

Review Reponses:

SakuraFlutist and Soccerfan48, thank you for reviewing! Unfortunately, your penguins got mutilated, since I didn't remember that "greater than" symbols are off limits. So here's a cookie instead! (::)

Anyone else want a cookie? *Eyebrow wiggle*

One last thing. I'm posting a new Percy Jackson story in a few minutes. It's actually an improved version of a story that I've posted before. If you're interested, then keep reading.

So, the story's called "Little Three". It is an OC-central story, that features children of the Big Three, if you didn't get that from the title. Now, before you pistol-whip your computer after reading this, I'd like to say that I tried hard to make them seem like real people. Here's the summary:

"Three Girls. One Prophecy. Thousands of adversaries and a million problems. The protection is dissipating, the war is starting, and the problems are rising. Watch as three best friends try to conquer their problems when their lives are suddenly accelerate and their time begins to run out."

Not my best summary, but I think that it's pretty good. Enough advertisement. If you want to read it, then you'll check it out. Just remember that it's rated T!
