I wanted to give him a lesson !

Epilogue : I think it's love.

"Did you know it happened by accident ? By chance ?

- What do you mean ?

- Us. Our love. Our relationship. It was not supposed to happen this way, at first. It just happened because a goddess cast a spell different from the one she was supposed to cast. And before magic decided not to work this time."

(And because a bored author didn't know what to write and just wanted to make fun of a show she despised and that no one cared about.

And trust me, I get bored really rapidly.)

"You were supposed to be created for Hercules, I know it...

- But it didn't happen this way."

Galatea smiled at her girlfriend.

"I'm happy it didn't happen this way...

- And so am I..."

An awkward silence then took place between them, before Cassandra said abruptly :

"I'm not perfect.

- I know it, it's not like I was perfect either.

- Yes, of course, but... what I mean is that... I am not a perfect girlfriend. I am not like all the girls, or like all the people in general. I am not... normal."

Galatea had a mischief smile.

"Did I ever say that I wanted you to be normal ? You're talking to someone who is made of clay, who was brought to life by two goddesses and by magic. You should know I don't mind a little "non-normality" in my life, since I am not really that normal myself.

- Galatea ! The teenager protested with a smile on her lips. I am trying to be serious ! So please, listen to me. I love you, she said with a grave air. But, Galatea, I am a seer, and people think I am really strange, and... I can't contradict them about that. They are right, I am kind of... a freak. And I'm cursed, this is something you should be aware of.

- Cassandra... You may not be believed by everyone all the time about your predictions, but you have to know that I believe in you. And I always will. As our other friends, we believe in you, we believe that what you see is not just something you imagined, we all know that it's real. We will never judge you because of that, or because of what you see."

The seer tried to smile.

"I know it, I really do, but... That's not the only problem I have got."

There was fear in her eyes, and Galatea frowned, feeling that something else was wrong.

"What kind of problem ? She then asked her, not really understanding what the other woman really meant.

- I have a problem with people. A lot of problems, in fact. I... don't like people, generally. And people don't like me either.

- And so what ? What does it have to do with me or us ?

- I'm afraid you might... realize I am not the right person for you. I am a misanthropic seer who has anxieties when she is surrounded by a great crowd, I don't succeed easily to get friendship with other people, I... I have relationship problems. And issues. Galatea, I have a lot of issues.

- And it makes you believe that I am going to leave you alone because of that ? Cassandra, I know who you are, and I love you because of who you are. You're a brilliant, amusing, sarcastic girl, and Cassandra, you saved the entire Olympus and the world itself in the same time thanks to your visions ! I love you the way you are, in your bizarre way...

- You're sure of that ? Really ? You know, as I told you, I... I am not used to relationships in general. I have friends now, so I do know how it works, with people like Circe, Hercules, Medusa or Helen, or even Tempest (but not Icarus, not anymore Icarus ! Please, just forget his existence !). But... I was never in love for real before I met you, I had a little crush on Helen once, but that's it.

- Almost everyone already had once a crush on Helen, according to what I heard of, Galatea said with a little laugh, and Cassandra chuckled. You know, you're my first relationship too... The first person I fell in love with.

- What if it doesn't last ? What if you stop...

- Stop loving you ? There is no chance it can ever happen.

- How can you be sure of this ?"

The classical line "you're the love of my life/my true love/my soulmate" or all these things would have been too much... classical.

So, she decided to say something else.

To tell her how she perceived her.

To tell her how much she admired her.

"You're funny. Sarcastic. Clumsy with people too, or in general, and it's something I like in you. You're cynical. You love to read, like me, you're passionate. When I talk with you, I feel like I am with someone who really understands and completes me. You're... Cassandra, you're wonderful, and I just can't believe no one ever saw this in you before me !"

Cassandra tried to smile.

It was... the first time in her life that someone was trying to tell her that she really was someone important.

That she worth it, and that she was not just some... strange seer.

That she could be more.

It wax the first time that someone was really accepting her the way she was, and except her parents, or her other friends, no one ever really did this before.

Thanks to her, now, she was fully accepted in the school, and no one was thinking of her as a freak, in fact, Galatea had truly changed her life.

"I love you Galatea... Without you I think I would be totally lost and alone, you... She smiled. You changed my life, and thanks to you, now... My life is completely different, I never felt that accepted before you arrived in my life."

Galatea smiled and kissed her.

"And you changed my life too..."

The end.
