Chapter 3:

Just before night fell that day, she was awoken by a sudden movement beside her.

"Loki? Is everything alright?"

"Yes my dear." He lied. His mind was in his brothers upcoming corrination. Thor. That very name just upset him. His entire life he was forced to walk just steps behind him, and yet he admired him. They way that the people adored him. How their father always seemed so proud of him. In many ways he looked up to his older brother. Wanting to beable to stand at him side and be looked on as his equal and not like him a tag-a-long troublemaking little brother. As much as he loved him he hated him.

Night was near. Soon Thor would be returning from the hunt. Tierdly Loki stood up. After she had dressed, Cassia walked over to aid in dressing him and preparing him for supper as so often she had but Loki protested.

"I dont understand."

"I will have no more of this. The woman I love will not serve me. And besides that you are a princess. You should be served" This caused her to blush a deep shade of red. For so long she had dreamed of this. Too long. She had often feared she would loose him to another. The second prince of Asgard. She was too frightened that it would all end. It seemed too real. Perhaps it was.

"But my pri..."

"Stop with the my prince, its Loki."

"Loki, we can't tell anyone of this! Of us. The que...Mother told me not to tell anyone."

"Ahhh very well." He rubed his temples. Why was this so difficult and why was this woman so enticing? She made him feel so strong and powerful yet so vulnerable at the same time. Damn. She would be the death of him. He chuckled as an idea came into his head. "What?" "Do you remember that time that we swapped Thor's and Sif's minds when they did not realize?" Cassia laughed, "Of course I do. Who do you think came up with the idea stupid?" "Right! Well, you know of the tablemaid that nearly dies each time she sees Thor? Lets switch there bodys at dinner tonight!" "Oohh yes lets," Cassia plotted with a slutry evil voice, "only this time swicht the maid and with Lady Sifs mind give the maid Thors body and his Sifs again!" "Where is the fun in changing Thors to Sifs again?" He only could imagen what she had in mind this time. True he was the god of mischief but if anyone could out do him it was her. 'Damn,' he though,' and this is supposed to be my job. Still there is no one I'd rather compeat with than her, although I do get most of the blame for our anitcs. Well, I guess thats what make it so fun.' "Why?" He wondered again. "Its simple really. She is on her cycle. Thor will absoluty lose his mind. He will have no idea what going on!" She nearly died from laughter as Loki begain pulling her out the door by the wrist. "Common then you! What are we waiting for!"

They entered the dinning hall and slipped behind a large marble piller unnoticed. "Ok, when the maid bring more food to the table and has them distracted thats when we will strike!" he wispered, Cassia just nodded.

"Where is that brother of yours Thor?"Volstagg asked as he took a swig of his ale,"He will want to hear of how you went sorring into that tree this morn! Like a danty bird you were!"

"I would not say danty, more like overgrown ass." Sif said, her tone on edge, "You need to be more careful Thor. Someone may think your not all there."

"Lighten up my lady! Tis' was only an accedent. You know how Volstagg talks without thinking. What has got you so on edge today?" Fandral asked.

"Nothing! Pay it no mind!"

"My friends! Why all this chatter we are supposed to be enjoing ourselves! Come now! Lets drink and be merry, congradulate and praise your future king on his great victory today!" Thor shouted across the large wooden table as he slamed his mug hard on it. "Where is that maid? Another!" Just then maid rushed out to fill Thors drink.

"Now is our chance!"Loki whispered.

All that was noticed in that moment was a slight blue and green shimmer from where thay were standing.

"Brother?" Nothing more was said but a coulpe of loud screams.

And with that Loki grabbed Cassia's hand and took off runing down the hall stopping to hid behind another large column. They held back there laughter as Thors now danty stepts ran out to find them but Sif stopped him before he could leave the room.

"Oh ummm aa Thor! Wait do not move so fast?"

"What whaa..." Suddenly a sharp pain came to his(or well her) abdomen and suddenly his face turned pail as he realized what was wrong. He shook off the pain and continued his pusute for his no good brother.

As soon as he entered the hall he was sure Loki had gone down he started yelling.

"Loki! Aghh! Brother! I know your here! Show yourself! You coward! Why have you done such a thing?" Loki slowly came out of his hidding spot clapping slowly as he did. "My My brother don't you look devine." "Enough of this trick Loki! Change us back now! Or I uhhh I'll," Thor stammered to collect his thoughts already too drunk to think straight. "Or you'll what? Besides I cannot undo it. Not atleast for a full days time." "WHAT?! What do you mean you cannot undo it?" "Like I said I cannot. It was not my doing this time." "Lie! Who else could of done it?" Loki looked behind the column to pull Cassia out but she had vanished. "Damn" he said under his breath.

"I will get you for this yet brother! But fisrt I must ask the Lady Sif how to stop this infernal bleeding. And if you will not turn me back I will just have to find Cassia to see if she is able." Thor left Loki standing there in the hall cackling like a madman. This by far was the best yet. Reluctantly he headed back to the dining hall to change them all back. Not because he felt sorry for Thor or Sif, but that poor maid. To be put in such a horrible body is an unusual pumishment. This only made Loki laugh harder.

She really should'nt have left him standing to take all the blame. 'Oh well,' she though. It was probably one of the more funnier things she had done. She though over this as she finished making Thor's bed. True Loki knew the truth but since they could not tell anyone else she had to continue acting as a chambermaid. As much as she loved her brother Thor she hated how drunk he got, for he would not shutup when he was. Going on and on of his tales throughout the day. Tonight would be no different.
