Me: Thanks for all the reviews!

SHOUT OUT TO: PercyplusAnnabeth for reviewing most of the chapters!*

Not quite the half-mock fight I was going for. More like, serious fight with a random interruption from Apollo.

This is: Horror

Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis

Summary preview: Three strikes, you're out.

Aphrodite examined Apollo's hair. "No." she decided. "Shaw hair is not your look. Blondes really cannot pull that look off once they reach the age of twenty. Try an almost-but-not quite buzz-cut spikes. Your eyes needed to be free!"

Across the room, Artemis narrowed her eyes. "Are you insulting my idiotic brother?"

Aphrodite nodded, absentmindedly, watching Apollo morph his hair.

Artemis glowered, but Aphrodite having been given this look for thousands of years, didn't even acknowledge it.

Mistake one.

Apollo tilted his head, and stared at Aphrodite's reflection. "I have a sudden urge to speak a hi-"

"Don't! It will get us nothing but pain." Aphrodite protested, then switched to a teenager look. Inky black hair in waves, with dark blue eyes, debating on whether or not to ruin or create a romance with the overall look.

Apollo rolled his eyes. "You guys never let me speak in rhymes. It's like you think I'm awful or something." he mocked, and then laughed. "The god of rhymes is a fail at his job. Go me."

A passing Artemis shook her head, and was about to step in when Aphrodite spoke up.

"You don't fail at your job. You just need a new method of inspiration. Now you sister, fails at her job. I mean, who seriously makes young girls kill love between themselves and every other guy out there whether they know him or not? What the heck is the point of that? Lesbian needs?"

But then she turned and flashed a mocking smirk at Artemis before turning completely back to Apollo, showing that not only did she know that Artemis had been there the entire time, but was mocking her for it as well.

Mistake two.

Aphrodite glanced down at the image of the two Roman Praetors, Percy and Reyna and almost lazily drew a mental image of a heart around their heads. She briefly thought back to what would happen to Annabeth, then decided she really didn't care.

Because Annabeth and Percy thoughts led to Reyna and Jason thoughts, which in turn led to Piper thoughts which made her feel like a terrible person. How was she suppose to know that Hera was going to force her daughter into liking someone she had already found a match for?

And it wasn't like she could just leave the daughter of Bellona alone forever. If Jason Grace had to switch romantic interest, then so did Percy Jackson. It was only fair, after all. Besides, what a cute little ironic couple they would make.

Annabeth didn't even appreciate what she had gone through to get her and Percy together in the first place. Something that was shown by her ranking that smug, arrogant, monster of a goddess before her.

Stupid child of Athena.

But right before she could make the Roman Praetors actually an official couple, Artemis threw open the door, a furious look in her eyes.

"What are you doing?" she demanded.

Aphrodite raised an eyebrow. "Creating happiness. I suppose that is a foreign concept to you, as you hate all forms of love, but-"

"You will not change Jackson and Annabeth's relationship." Artemis seethed.

"Of course I will."

Mistake three.

"No, you won't, because that is a selfish, conceited, hurtful, and pointless thing to do!" Artemis yelled, and Aphrodite actually took a step back in shock.

Then she narrowed her eyes.

"And how is it that exactly?"

Artemis gave a humorless laughed. "Gods, you're blind. Don't tell me you can see just how much they mean to each other. You take him away from her, she will be broken. You are only doing this because you don't want your daughter to be alone! And for another thing, do you really think that taking away Percy's mortal point is a wise decision? Are you trying to make us lose the war? You freaking idiot!"

"What I am doing," Aphrodite said in a forced calm voice, "Is making sure that they end up happy. Selfish? Is it selfish to want the girl to be happy? Annabeth will be fine, you know this as well as I do. If worst comes to worst, she joins your little group of arrow-happy teenagers.

"Conceited? How the Hades is this conceited? Hurtful? Would it be worse to leave an innocent person alone when they could have had everything they needed but was taken away from them twice? Pointless? Do I need to repeat what I just said? The mortal point thing is just stupid. You know that he doesn't have the invincibility curse anymore. And no, not really. We have two powerful demigods on our side. Annabeth will immerse herself into the war, which will help with the whole healing process. I know what I'm doing, 'Mist." she countered perfectly.

Apollo ran into the room at that moment, and took Artemis by the shoulders. "Don't say it! We can't deal with two wars at once! The whales of Japan will do just fine on their own! No need to go all 'Big Three' on them!" he snapped he expression on of horror.

The two goddesses stared at him bewildered and Apollo let go of Artemis' shoulders.

Apollo laughed nervously as he took in the scene before him.

"Oh, wow, look at that. Wrong room and argument. Possibly wrong month...year, if I think about it. Well, I'm just going to go..." he trailed off, then escaped through the still opened door.

"Moving on," Artemis said, but her voice was lower then what it was, and much slower, showing her confusion.

Apollo popped his head back in for a moment. "Oh, I almost forgot. Aphrodite, let sis have this one. Annabeth need to be stable for her upcoming role. You can work out your Perenya and Percabeth issues later."

A triumphant smirk crossed the goddess of the moon's face before she left the goddess of love standing alone, fuming.

Me: Kind of random. Not what I had originally planned, but it was okay. Thoughts?

Next Chapter: Trap

Should it be a continuation of Tower? 'Cause if it is. then my sarcasm needs to get back to work...

Guess what! (winks at a reader who knows who they are)* Chapter 68 Hero will be a Mark of Athena Reunion that is cute if not fluffy! Just thought I would let you know, since I so rarely do cuteness.

Reviews are fabulous.
