On Saturday morning when Evelynn, a rather tall, tan girl with startling aqua green eyes and caramel hair dyed teal at the ends, walked into the living room she had to stop herself from screaming, because scattered all around were a dozen people sleeping on the floor. There were four things that ran through her mind:
1- "Oh my gods! There are people who I didn't invite sleeping in my house."
2- "Who are these people?"
3- "This must be some joke from the gods."
4- "WHY ARE THERE RANDOM PEOPLE IN MY HOUSE?!?!" She furiously stomped over to the tall, tan boy with messy light blonde hair who was sleeping on her plush, black leather chair. That was her chair and no one ever sat there. As Evelynn stood over him, an inch from his nose, the man woke up and immediately jumped off the chair. Looking startled, he stared at Evelynn with bright blue eyes that were as clear as the noon sky.
"Who the heck are you, and what are you doing in my house?!" Demanded Evelynn.
"Me?! Who the heck are you, and why are you in my bed chambers?" Countered the strange man.
"Look around you, pretty boy! You and your friends are in my house, in my living room, and in my chair. I have the right to call the police, you know! Your lucky I haven't yet. Now, answer the question. Who are you?"
"I am Apollo." The man said, stunned. Evelynn stood in shock for a moment.
"Jezabell!" Screamed Evelynn for her twin.
"Keep it down woman! Don't wake the rest of my family." The god commanded frantically.
"JEZABELLL, WAKE UP AND GET OUT HERE YESTERDAY!"
"Evelynn, you better have a good reason for waking me up before eleven! It's Saturday, and I sleep in on Saturdays." Called a groggy Jezabell.
"Oh, I think I have a very good reason! Now hurry up." Demanded an impatient Evelynn. Jezabell, a tall, pale girl with firey red hair and aqua green eyes, was rounding the corner when she saw the gods passed out on her floor.
"Um... Lynn, you didn't tell me we were having people over... or that they would be sleeping on the floor."
"I would've if I'd known."
"Who are they, and when did they get here? I know they weren't here last night 'cause I got home around one from Danny's, and watched some Doctor Who. They weren't here then."
"These are our, uh... patrons. The mother fudging gods of Olympus."
"Ah, I know who you two are! You are the twin Oracles I selected." interrupted Apollo, as he finally recognized the girls.
"Yes, my lord. Can you give us a minute please? You can go help yourself to anything in the fridge if you'd like. We just need a minute to discuss some things..." Lynn sighed.
"Oh yes. Of course. Thank you." Apollo trotted off to the kitchen. Evelynn and Jezabell locked themselves into the bathroom and began discussing what was going on in hushed yells.
"Lynn, there are gods in our house. Passed out on our couch. What the heck are we gonna do?!"
"Keep it down Jez! I don't know yet, but we can't exactly kick 'em out."
"Why not?! What have they ever done for us?! I guess we can keep Apollo around. But they're all asleep. We could dump em' on the street and know one would know."
"Jez we can't do that. We need an explanation!"
"Fine. But don't wake all of them up. I don't feel like talking to a bunch of gods at the moment. Apollo is pretty chill and I suppose he keeps his head." Jezabell sighed, frustrated.
"Right. Let's go talk to Apollo." They walked into the kitchen in time to see Apollo standing by the fridge, drinking milk straight out of the jug and eating cereal right out of the box. The god proceeded to grab a Mountain Dew out of the fridge and pop the top.
"Ah, you've returned. Your mortal food is delicious!" Apollo noticed the look on the two girls faces, one of amusement and the other anger.
"Sorry, did I do something wrong?"
"Lynn, he's drinking my Mountain Dew, and he ate all our cereal." Jez complained.
"Shut up Jez." Turning to Apollo, Lynn continued, "No my Lord you did nothing wro-"
"But he drank my Dew!"
"Get over it." Lynn glared at Jez. "Lord Apollo, can you tell us why you're here?"
"Please, ladies... call me Apollo. And I apologize for drinking your delicious soda." He downed the rest of the can. "Anyway, I had a vision four nights ago, warning me that this would happen. We Olympians have become mortal, and cannot return to our godly state until we learn to act like it..." He explained.
"What do you mean "act like it"...?" inquired Evelynn.
"Though I hate to admit it, the Olympians have been abusing their powers. My sister and I haven't been because we understood the consequences. The rest didn't. For instance Aphrodite has been winning pageant after pageant, very unfairly and making them chaotic. Ares is causing war everywhere, which you may have seen on the news, and Poseidon and Zeus have caused too many storms lately."
"I see. So... Umm... do you have any idea about how our world works?" Lynn asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Uhh... For the most part no, though we do mostly understand cell phones, tv, cars, and other basics. But we don't really understand the simple things."
"Lynn, what the heck are we gonna do?! We can't provide for them on our salaries and we can't sit around here all day teaching them to be normal!" exclaimed Jezabell under her breath.
"I know, I know. But we can work it out." Evelynn muttered back.
"Right. When in doubt quote the Beatles. We can work it out, we can work it out."
"You know, Jez, sometimes I just don't get you."
"I know, but everything can go along with a song. I've told you that."
"As the god of music, I must agree. I also love the Beatles." Apollo nodded.
"So what are we supposed to do with the twelve gods liv-" At that moment, they heard a loud clamor and many shouts from the other room.
"Sounds like they're awake." grumbled Jez.
"I guess we've got some explaining to do." Groaned Lynn.
"Better get this over with!" Apollo exclaimed cheerily, grabbing the girls by their shoulders and steering them into the living room.
