I wanted to give him a lesson !

Part 4 : It's real, clearly.

 After she made sure that Galatea was fine, Aphrodite left the school, while Athena came back to the Mount Olympus, and the goddess of love decided to go to see Cupid immediately, not caring about the hour of the night.

She didn't show it too much to Athena, but she was indeed worried about it. Even if Galatea was born not a long time ago, Aphrodite had already grown attached to her, as well as Athena did, so she just wanted her to be okay and happy.

She didn't want her new adoptive daughter to get her heart broken.

And it risked to happen, if Cassandra appeared not to be sensible to her charms, except of course if she asked Cupid to send a magical arrow on the young seer with his "Armageddon arc".

It would be cheating, of course, but by casting her spell, she had already cheated a little, right ?

And by the way, she was a goddess, so, why would she care ?

So yes, as she entered in the god's house, she was feeling a little nervous.

What if the spell couldn't be reversed ?

What if she had done a terrible mistake ?

When Cupid opened his door, Aphrodite suddenly started, realizing that indeed, it was pretty late and that she had woken up him, regarding to his tired look, and the thing is that she should have waited before coming.

He frowned.

"Aphrodite ? What are you doing here ?

- Oh, excuse me Cupid, I didn't realize it was that late... I can come back later if you want me to.

He just shrugged.

- Well, now that I am awake... Enter, he invited her."

She sat down on a chair, and, some minutes later, the god gave her a cup of tea.

"Hum... Thanks, she said with circumspection. Aren't we supposed to drink/eat something like ambrosia or nectar ? Since we are Greek gods...

- The Author loves too much to make anachronisms, don't you remember that Athena had a mobile phone with her in chapter two ? Well, you and I, we drink tea. So, tell me, why are you here ?

- Oh yes, I almost forgot it... Five or six hours ago, Hercules, our... well, Zeus' and Hera's son (it will be much easier to say it this way, even if it has no fucking sense since this is not accurate.), asked me to create a girlfriend for him, made of clay, because he couldn't find a dance partner for the ball of tomorrow.

- Wow... Cupid reacted, being not impressed at all. That's really... interesting, right ?

- Don't be too much mocking Cupid, right ? I mean, it's the plot which was used for the episode of which this story itself is inspired by.

- Maybe, but... I mean, did they want to make a cheap version of Pygmalion's myth ?

- I'm afraid they did, with even more sexism than in the original story.

- Please Aphrodite, tell me you didn't do this. When he saw her guilt look, he sighed and then rolled his eyes. You did it !

- Yes ! But I gave her a real personality, unlike what my nephew/half-brother/I already lost myself in the family tree asked me ! I created her, helped by Athena, I cast my spell on her to make her fall in love with Hercules, and everything was okay, but...

- But something went wrong ?

- Hum, yes... The spell didn't make Galatea fall in love with Hercules, but with Cassandra.
