Sorry to keep you waiting! No, seriously sorry. I was too busy playing Kid Icarus: Uprising, reading FanFics (Hm, who would've guessed?) and other things. I was also giving out free sneak-peeks to those who reviewed chapter seven.
Wanted: Beta Reviewer
School (At least here in the Philippines) is starting soon, around the first week of June, so I won't be able to update a ton. Since most of my readers are from different countries, maybe they could help me out a little by beta-ing my story, giving me suggestions, and the like. To apply, just PM me with your kind of writing style and other things. Also send me a link to your best story so that I can review it and see if you're up for the job. The subject of the PM should be "Beta Application".

Chapter Seven: We meet...
"Now rub it," said Aphrodite. I reached out and grabbed the gelatinous object. I started rubbing it, much to the delight of my patron.
"Faster Percy!" she yelled, her teeth meshing together in anticipation. I decided to use my other hand to grab the other blob. I kept on doing that, Aphrodite encouraging me all the way, but eventually I stopped, my goal unreached.
"That would be way to hard to activate in the heat of battle, Lady Aphrodite," I said, setting the giant heart back onto the table. The heart was supposed to be a health grenade, so that you could heal yourself without having to eat or drink something. You could even throw it at a teammate on the other side of the battlefield and heal him. Sadly, the concept didn't work.
"Perseus, we need to make this work! We need this for the quest!" At the word "quest", my mind replayed the prophecy given by Rachel a few hours ago.
A DEMIGOD AND HIS GODDESS
SHALL GO WEST TO FIX THIS MESS
ONLY THE STRONGEST FORCE CAN TELL
HOW THE ENEMY SHALL BE FELL
IT WOULD PUSH THE FOUR TO THE TEST
AND LEAD ONE OF THEM TO AN ETERNAL REST
Sadly the duo mentioned in the first line wasn't Jason and Hera. And I thought this story was called "Jason Grace: Champion of the Marrage Goddess". Yeah, someone should get on that idea! I mean Jason protecting married women and families would be way cooler than helping people fall in love, being chased by a crazy Moon Goddess, getting stabbed by the girl you just went on a date with, being led to an eternal res- oops, I went a little too far ahead in the story arc. Anyway, back to the story! (AN: I know you want to kill me now, but just hear me out! Read the bottom AN for an explanation after reading the chapter.)
"Maybe if I..." mumbled the Love Goddess, making the heart, which was as big as my head, smaller. Now it could fit in the palm of my hand. I recieved it from her and started rubbing, and after a few seconds, everything in a ten meter radius was enveloped in a heavenly light.
"Success, Perseus! Invention one out of three down!" said Aphrodite, doing her adorable little victory dance. "I can't wait to show this to Hephie after the quest!" See, the Hephrodite story was a little blurry. Aphrodite liked hanging out with Hephaestus before she was married, helping him tinker with things. That's when he developed feelings for her. When it was declared that she needed a groom, Hera, seeing that she was with Hephaestus a lot, gave her to him. Sadly, Aphrodite only saw Hephaestus as a friend, and started to get infatuated with Ares. That's why Aphrodite invents things.
I checked the clock. Five minutes to midnight. "My lady, we have to depart now if we want to meet Artemis and Sami in time." She nodded, extending her wings, the Wings of Beauty. What's with this story and wings?
We jumped out the window, only to get caught by Artemis' chariot, the one we were supposed to meet at CHB.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!" I said to the Moon Goddess and her Champion. Artemis nodded in reply, and Sami... looked at me with lust. Then I saw a Moon Arrow on the floor.
Before I could ask, Artemis said, "She stabbed herself with it while sharpening the arrowhead. It turns out that someone disguised the Love Arrows as my arrows." Sami was now straddling me, her arms wrapped around my head. It took all of my self-restraint to not kiss her.
"Aphrodite, a little help here?" I said. She won't help, I said in my head, She's having way too much fun. She'll just say-
"Okay," she said to my surprise. Then I noticed the glare my lady was giving Sami, who had pressed her body even closer to mine. She was becoming too irresistible for my liking. Aphrodite then closed her eyes in concentration. I looked back at Sami, who didn't look very different. No pink mist, nothing. Then Aphrodite opened her eyes, frustration evident in her eyes.
"I-I can't remove it. It's just like your old love for Annabeth, it's too embedded in her mind for me to remove safely," said Aphrodite. At that, Sami put her face into the crook of my neck, tickling me at the same time.
"Kids, no making out in the chariot!" yelled Artemis. Then the Chariot disintegrated. Aphrodite and I extended out wings, her catching Artemis and me catching Sami, who wasn't cooperating well.
"How about we have a little fun tonight?" said Sami with a seductive tone, unbuttoning my shirt. I was about to smack her hand away when I remembered I was holding her. Luckily, we landed in a forest clearing. Unluckily, we landed in a trap, a cage springing around us. I tried pulling out my weapons, only to find that they were to heavy to wield, just like on Mount Tam. I could tell that the goddesses were trying to flash out.
"My lady, I don't think this is a good time to poop," I said. Aphrodite kicked my... family jewels in response. "Soldier down!" I yelled, grasping my groin area.
"SILENCE!" an ominous voice yelled. Then the thing came into sight. He looked bored, but had a godly aura surrounding him. As always, he had wings on. Come on, author, we need originality!
"Hello Mother," he said in a nonchalant voice to Aphrodite. Then his voice started to show more interest.
"I like this one. Filled to the brim with sexual longing!" said the winged man, pointing at Sami, who was now hugging my arm.
"Care to be more specifi- wait, did you say I was your mother?" said Aphrodite. "You must be an-"
"Yes, Mother, I am an Erotes. Specifically Pothos."
Then Artemis joined in, "Pothos, the god of sexual longing? I thought you went rogue!"
"My, Lady Artemis, it is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance. And yes, I have gone rogue, but I am serving a god," said Pothos, twirling a key in his hand.
"Let us out!" I yelled, kicking the steel bars. Bad idea. The bars were charged with electricity, so when I hit it, I got shocked. "Ow ow ow ow ow!" I yelled, clutching my foot.
"Oh, the young Perseus Jackson! It's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance too, though my master has it different," said the god of sexual longing. "That's why he had the bars electrified, along with the magic and weapons seal."
"Oh, are you okay Percy?" said Sami, who went and dived for my lips, capturing them perfectly. It was pure bliss, but that wasn't a good time to make-out. She broke apart. "Does that make it better?"
I would've answered, if Aphrodite hadn't tackled Sami, wrestling her to the ground. Ignoring the fighting women, Artemis asked, "Take us to your leader!"
"Sure, let them in!" said a cheerful voice. Phothos pushed the cage forward, opening the door at the same time. My eyes zoned in on a man sitting on a throne. Like most characters in this story, he had FREAKING WINGS! Gods, they're so overused I this fic! Besides the stupid wings, the cherubic angel wore a chiton and wielded a bow that looked eerily like Aphrodite's. Aphrodite gasped once she found out his identity.
"...Eros, my old companion, is that you?"
Okay, put the swords down now! Remember that prophecies have double meanings! If you really want to know what the last line means, you could PM me, but please don't mention the spoiler in the reviews!
