The Sister of Hercules

The Tiff on Olympus

As we all know, Zeus and Hera have been married from hundreds and hundreds of years. But that didn't mean that Hera didn't go for the flashiness of a great party's when their anniversary came around. There was music, and gods and goddesses everywhere. She even had Hestia, goddess of the hearth cooking. And she was the best cook around. Even Millenia had shown up. She was drawing a picture for Hercules so that he could see what the party was like since he couldn't come.

"Hestia! What a wonderful party you have thrown us! The Goddess of the Hearth has really outdone herself!" Then Dionysius (vote for getting it right on the second try!) belched loudly. Millenia laughed, but Hestia flipped.

" sh! Dionysius! The soufflé! The slightest noise will make it fall!" Millenia got a mischievous look on her face.

"Really? Well then in that case..." she opened her mouth to yell as loud as she could, but Hestia covered her mouth and scowled at her. Millenia grinned. Hera sighed.

"Oh I do wish Zeus would get home. He was only out for a quick smite." She sighed. Hestia chuckled.

"I'll bet he's having Hephaestus, craft you a jewel treasure for you're anniversary." She chuckled again. "But act surprised. Men like that." But Millenia wasn't so sure. She had just spoken to Hephaestus and he hadn't said anything about crafting Hera a gift. That's when Zeus came home.with Hermes.

"Beautiful smiting today big Z, you know you've given a new meaning to the word, lightning rod! Ha ha!" Then they saw the party. "Whoa, snazzy shindig." Zeus went over to Hera and chuckled.

"Say honey, isn't your weekly coffee clash getting a little extravagant?" Everyone looked at him in surprise. Hera tried to laugh it off.

"Coffee clash? Oh ha ha. You do know what this occasion is, don't you?" She asked. Zeus was confused.

"Occasion? Ha ha! Of course I know!" He said, taking a bite out of a bit of mutton. "Is it something special?" He asked. Now Hera was pissed off.

"The occasion, honey, is our anniversary!" Hera told him.

"Dad! Did you forget your anniversary?" Millenia asked. That's when Hades decided to join the party. He liked a good riling up.

"Anniversary!" Zeus exclaimed. "Hah! Of course I remembered!" Millenia smacked her forehead.

"Did you now?" Hera asked.

"Of course! As Lord of the Universe, I know everything!" Hermes flew over to his side.

"You, Zeuster, have got that omniscient shtick, down. So uh, what's you get her?" Hermes asked him. Zeus winced at the sound.

"Get?" He asked. Hermes nodded.

"Yeah, anniversary gift?" Millenia asked, coming over, arms crossed. "Did you remember that? Or did you leave it in your other universe?" Millenia may act more like he dad, but she was in Hera's side the whole way. Hera turned away, made a door appear, went inside, and locked it. Millenia popped Jewels out and left, leaving behind the picture. A black cloud formed over Zeus' head in rage. The family of the universe had jut split.
