A/N - Hey guys! So, I got this idea a while ago and loved it. I never got a chance to write it until now, though.


Apollo Changes His Name: Unsatisfied with the name he has been burdened with his entire life, Apollo has changed his name to Pollo.


Artemis: *cracks up*

Apollo: Holy Zeus, I officially have the best name on Olympus!

Zeus: What are you talking about? My name's most certainly the best. I mean, it rumbles. I mean, the sky rumbles. When you say it.

Apollo: Sorry, Zeus, but my new name's just so epic that I just have to make a haiku about it.

Artemis: Please don't.

Apollo: Sorry, Arty! I'm gonna start crafting it now.

Artemis: Oh, great, Pollo.

Apollo: Ooh, it's catchy, isn't it?

Artemis: *cracks up again*

Apollo: My name is Pollo

It's the best name ever, right?

It's so catchy!

Artemis: You seem to have an issue with your last lines...

Apollo: What?

Artemis: Can you count to five, brother?

Apollo: Of course, why? Oh...how about, 'It's so so catchy?' That's five. Right?

Artemis: Yes, chicken, that's five.

Apollo: No, chicken is two.

Artemis: Never mind.

Apollo: Come on, guys, wasn't my haiku awesome?

Hermes: No.

Athena: I agree with Hermes.

Apollo: Oh, come on, guys! #haikulove

Athena: Don't bring any of those repulsive hashtags into this. They are tools for the weak-minded, and they obstruct one's English.

Apollo: Fine. #χαϊκού αγάπη

Artemis: No. Just don't.

Apollo: Boom! Ain't nobody ever thought of hashtagging in Greek!

Artemis: I'm sure it's been done before.

Athena: Apollo, hashtags corrupt any language they are used with.

Apollo: Hashtags are awesome...

Athena: And 'ain't' isn't a word.

Apollo: Sure it is.

Athena: No, it's a contraction gone wrong.

Apollo: But...

Hermes: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Apollo: Something funny?

Hermes: Yeah. Hahaha.

Apollo: Oh?

Hermes: Yeahhhhhhhhahahahaha.

Artemis: He's such an airhead.

Apollo: Yeah, sis. I'm not sure what he's doing.

Artemis: I wasn't talking about Hermes, chicken.

Hermes: And I agree wholeheartedly.

Apollo: Someone let me in on the joke.

Artemis: It's nothing you didn't directly bring on yourself, chicken.

Apollo: Why do you keep calling me that?

Hermes: 'Cause it's your relative or something.

Apollo: Excuse me, all I've done is shorten my name to Pollo. Sounds much cooler, right?

Hermes: Yeah, maybe, but I've been taking Spanish classes.

Apollo: -.-

Artemis: Chicken.

Apollo: I'm a god, actually. And I'm not that scared of things.

Artemis: *facepalm*

Athena: Apollo, didn't you know that 'Pollo' means 'chicken' in Spanish?

Apollo: *gapes* What?

Artemis: Yeah.

Apollo: But it can't! It's my name.

Artemis: What, so it therefore can't mean 'chicken'?

Apollo: Of course it can't. Don't be ridiculous.

Artemis: Do you happen to have a Spanish dictionary on you?

Apollo: Nooooooope.

Hermes: I'm a Spanish dictoniary!

Athena: Hopefully your spelling is better in Spanish.

Hermes: Oh, I assure you, it is!

Artemis: Let's see it, then. What does 'pollo' mean in Spanish, hmm?

Hermes: Turkey!

Artemis: *facepalm*

Athena: Incorrect. 'Pollo' translates into 'chicken'.

Hermes: No, no, it means turkey. I've been taking Spanish classes.

Apollo: Guys, it obviously doesn't mean either of those. It means 'totally awesome sun god'.

Artemis: Hermes, check your Spanish dictionary again.

Hermes: I lost it. But trust me, it means 'turkey'.

Apollo: I'd rather be a turkey.

Artemis: Well, at least I don't have to go turkey hunting at Thanksgiving. You've made my job easier.

Apollo: What?

Artemis: Never mind.

Apollo: Oh. Thanksgiving. I'd rather be a god.

Hermes: Then don't call yourself a turkey!

Artemis: Chicken.

Apollo: But Pollo's the coolest name ever!

Hermes: And I'm gonna keep calling you a turkey.

Artemis: Chicken.

Hermes: Hail Lord Apollo, God of all Turkeys!

Artemis: Chickens!

Apollo: *groans* I'm officially changing my name back.

Artemis: No, keep it. Maybe we can have a chicken this year.

Apollo: Arty, I never thought you'd turn into a cannibal.

Artemis: It wouldn't be cannibalism. I'm not a chicken.

Hermes: Turkey, you mean.

Apollo: Neither am I! I'm a god! I'm Apollo!

Artemis: *sighs* Too bad.

Hermes: I'm going to go find my Spanish dictionary now. Bet you a drachma 'pollo' means 'turkey'.

Artemis: Fifty drachmas.

Hermes: Even better. Now, excuse me, I have to run.
