Section 5: Ferocious Feuds
Hades eats all of Demeter's HIGH SPIRIT cereal!
Zeus: What is Hades doing on Olympus?
Hades: Well, what a nice way to greet your brother.
Demeter: WHAT DID I JUST READ? YOU, you hateful, unworthy criminal-YOU ATE MY CEREAL?!
Dionysus: Thank heavens! Now we'll have something nicer for breakfast. Thanks, Hades, old mate.
Hades: Yeah, well…I couldn't help it anyway. I had just arrived on Olympus because it was getting so boring down in the Underworld. When I arrived, I thought how furious Zeus would be at me. This made me gloomy, so I noticed the cereal lying on a table labeled High Spirit. So I ate it.
Hera: Did it make you high-spirited? Because it doesn't seem to
Work on us.
Hades: Well…not really. But I was hungry.
Demeter: You vulgar wretch! You could at least ask permission to lay your unworthy hands on my sacred things.
Poseidon: Sacred? I beg to differ.
Hades: Well, I was starving!
Zeus: Just wait a minute….DIONYSUS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
Dionysus (pulls innocent face): What? Aren't I one of the gods of Olympus?
Zeus: I forbade you yesterday to show your face here OR on Olympus Weekly, because of the crime you committed!
Apollo: Jeez, father. Lighten up a little.
Zeus: You want LIGHTENING? I'll give you lightening! I'LL BLAST THIS FOUL-FACED CREATURE OUT OF OLYMPUS!
Apollo: On the other hand…..Dionysus, you'd better scram.
Dionysus: Good idea.
Demeter: Stop focusing on these insignificant tidbits! Hades has committed a REAL crime.
Hades: Gee, Demeter. I'll bring you some of MY Dark is Good Cornflakes from the Underworld.
Demeter: I don't want your swampy food! I want revenge!
Poseidon: The gods are being ….uh, a little more mental
lately.
Athena: You're one of them, aren't you?
(watch it, Poseidon. Your turn is next!)
