Artemis is Seen Flirting With a Man: Last Saturday, Aphrodite saw Artemis flirting with a mortal hunter.


Artemis: Lies!

Aphrodite: Oh, Artemis, at last you see some sense.

Artemis: Sense? I would never do this! This is not me! Lies!

Aphrodite: You're...denying it, Artemis? Oh, Artemis, just admit it! It's nothing to be ashamed of! Be proud, dear sister!

Artemis: Oh, no, you are not my sister. You rose up from my great-grandfather's blood. You are not my sister.

Aphrodite: Oh, I don't want to be sisters with such a terrible excuse for a woman, anyways. No dating! Not right!

Artemis: Like I want to see anything of you, Aphrodite. You and your blindness, your ridiculous thoughts and personality.

Aphrodite: Just admit it, Artemis! You fell in love with a man! Maybe you'll have children!

Artemis: CHILDREN? Aphrodite, where in your deranged mind is that a possibility?

Aphrodite: Artemis, admit it! You're bored of your loveless life, and you want some excitement! Some love! Some me!

Hermes: ...Awkward.

Athena: You're not helping, Hermes. Just let them argue. It's their argument. And can you blame Aphrodite for acting like that?

Hermes: Can I...blame her?

Athena: I mean, do you consider it unusual for her?

Hermes: Oh. No. Definitely not.

Artemis: Aphrodite, I am not bored of my perfectly good life, and I do not want anything to do with you.

Aphrodite: That's not nice! You know you've changed...

Artemis: Is it nice to spread lies about a person, Aphrodite?

Aphrodite: They're not lies! I really saw you, Artemis! You know you were flirting with that man.

Artemis: I was not flirting with him! I looked at him for a short moment, and then I turned him into a jackalope! Speaking of jackalopes, Aphrodite, do you want me to turn you into one?

Aphrodite: I got temporary immunization, Artemis, so you have no leverage over me!

Artemis: It's temporary, though, so I can turn you into a jackalope once it wears off.

Aphrodite: I take it daily! Unless I forget to take it, I'm forever protected! Hermes's pills! Great things, those pills. Great things. Protection from jackalope...jackaloping...jackalope-transforming.. .

Artemis: You'll eventually forget, Aphrodite, and then I'll take my revenge.

Aphrodite: What would it be?

Artemis: Sorry?

Aphrodite: Hmm...

Athena: Back to the article. Artemis, did you really flirt with a man?

Artemis: No! I turned him into jackalope! Don't believe the lies of that soon-to-be-jackalope!

Athena: Good. Wouldn't want you to break your oath.

Artemis: I would never!

Aphrodite: Jackalopization!

Apollo: What?

Aphrodite is

Saying nonsense words and stuff

She is being odd

Hermes: Also known as...what?

Aphrodite: Hermes's pills give me protection from jackalopization!

Hermes: ...Jackalopization?

Aphrodite: Being turned into a jackalope. You know. Jackalopization. Nice word. I just came up with it on the spot! Ja-cka-lope-i-za-tion. Good for your haikus, Apollo, it's seven syllables!

Athena: Six, actually.

Apollo: Thanks, Aph!

Aphrodite says

Jackalopization

Is now a word

Artemis: Seriously? I mean...this is the most terrible haiku ever. It's pointless, and two lines have an incorrect number of syllables.

Apollo: It had too many syllables?

Artemis: Too few. Can you count, Apollo?

Apollo: Sure I can. Aph-ro-di-te-says, that's five. Ja-cka-lo-pi-za-ti-on, that's seven. Is-now-a-word, that's five. It's correct, Artemis.

Artemis: No, you're not. The first line's correct, yeah. But the second line is six syllables: Ja-cka-lope-i-za-tion. And is-now-a-word - that's four. Haikus are supposed to be 5-7-5, not 5-6-4. You should know that, Apollo.

Apollo: Well, I'll change it!

Aphrodite says

That jackalopization's

In dictionaries

Artemis: Why do you even try? What's the point?

Apollo: Of fixing it? I'm the god of poetry! My poetry has to be superb.

Artemis: It'll never be, Apollo, no matter how hard you try.

Apollo: Give me a chance, sis.

Artemis: I've been giving you chances for the last two millennia!

Thalia Grace: Hi, everyone, just came. Um, Artemis, did you really...?

Artemis: What? No!

Thalia Grace: Oh, good. I'd hate to have you abandon the Hunters.

Artemis: I would never do such a thing! Don't believe anything Aphrodite says. She's the biggest liar out there.

Aphrodite: It's called gossip!

Artemis: It's called annoying everyone with pointless chatter and lies.

Aphrodite: That's not nice. They're not lies, and they're not pointless! *Sulks*

Hermes: Wait, did you just call Aphrodite the biggest liar out there? Excuse me, Artemis! I am the biggest, best liar!

Artemis: That's the thing - Aphrodite's not a good liar at all!

Hermes: And I am the best -

Artemis: We all know, Hermes. I wasn't saying you weren't.

Hermes: Oh. Good.

Thalia Grace: I was just checking, Lady Artemis.

Artemis: Very good. Hephaestus, please shut this forum down now. Just understand one thing, guys: I did not flirt with that man, okay?

Hephaestus: We know, Artemis. So, shutting it down.


A/N - So, now I have a whole truckload of ideas! Thanks, guys.
