"F-f-fall in love?" Her heart flipped around and skipped about ten beats.
The woman...
I'm getting a bit sick of calling her "the woman." Anyways...
The woman frowned. "Darling, if you're going to keep on repeating what I say, then I'm just going to have to stop talking."
Piper collapsed onto the bed next to the goddess. This was waaay too surreal. Few things surprised the female navigator, but this...this...this was just out of it. In more than one creepy manner. "Okay," she managed at last. "Firstly...what should I call you? You gave me, like, fifty gazillion names to work with."
"Venus will do, dear," the goddess drawled. "Those Vaposians come up with the most charming titles..."
"And secondly...who am I supposed to be falling in love with?"
Venus' look turned into one of total exasperation. "Piper, I thought you were supposed to be smart! Think back about, oh...three minutes or so."
Piper's eyes widened. "Not...not him. I don't even know why you showed him to me. I don't love...I don't even like...he's...he's..."
"And that's what I'M here for. To give you a gentle...nudge in the right direction."
"Shove's more like it." Piper glared at the deity darkly. "And what if I don't consent to your...'nudging'?"
Venus laughed. And trust me, you do not want to hear the laugh of a goddess. It sounds so wicked, so beautiful, so enchanting, all at the same time, that your head is liable to turn into a thousand tiny pieces. As soon as she'd quieted, and Piper had shaken off her headache, Venus shrugged. "You can't resist the power of love, Piper. It's impossible."
"I was afraid you'd say that." No more glares left. Just an empty sigh. "But what about him? What if he doesn't want to...you know..."
"Oh, I've already got someone else working on that," Venus chuckled. "Don't you worry. Dooon't you worry..."
OOO
A/N: But we still don't know who 'he' is...
Because I'm evil like that. Poll is closed, a winner is decided, and you'll have to wait until next time. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
