Pegasus stopped in front of a gold gate that said: Cherry Meadowland.
Athena peered at the place behind the tall gate. There was a wide field of all sorts of flowers. Pretty cherry trees stood almost everywhere. In the middle, there was a giant tree made of gold. It's branches held water shaped like a tree's leaves, and, floating in the insides of the water was a blue gem.
Athena held her breath. Something about this place seemed familiar, although she can't really remember. She smelled the sweet, rosy scent of the meadow, admiring it's beauty. Primroses, a type of pink rose, grew around the golden tree. What a surprise! Athena gasped. She was smart enough to know that Primroses were used in making love potions. But only the Sugarplum Fairy can make a love potion, but she was locked away in a dark place.
But Aphrodite wadn't even interested. No one was.
Athena waved her hand in the air. Numbers began to appear:
7:30 a.m.
"Guys, tour's over. Time to head back to the Academy."said Athena. And so they did.

Fifteen minutes later, the goddesses were heading to their classes, with Athena carrying a pile of scrolls.
"So how do you like the surprise?"asked Persephone. Athena smiled.
"It was very magical."she grinned. Artemis adjusted the quiver of arrows slung over her shoulder. "Well, let's go."
Aphrodite, Athena, Persephone, and Artemis all entered a classroom. Athena sat down on her desk. She laid the scrolls. Now was her Hero Class, the class on which they were fought heroic bravery.
Mr. Cyclops, their teacher, was clearing his throat. "Attention, gods and goddesses!!!"he said in a loud voice. "I have just been informed that the Greek Army is having trouble defeating the Trojans. Both armies are good fighters, but as Greek gods and goddesses, we will help the
Greeks. I will assign some of you to go down to Greece."
Athena dropped her purple feather pen. Now this was a good offer! Maybe she could volunteer because she has a good brain? How could so many surprises happen all in one day???
Mr. Cyclops listed the names on the board.
Ares
Artemis
Apollo
Atlas
Athena
Wow. Athena's jaw dropped. How could she enter? Was she right about her brain?
Artemis turned to her. "Hurray to Athena!!! The smartest of us all!!!"she yelled.
Mr. Cyclops cleared his throat again. "That's not all. Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades are coming too."
