Funny Moments on the Argo II

Holidays for the Gods

This does not happen on the Argo II. It happens on olympus.

-----

"Zeus!" Demeter called from down the table. "Eat your grains! Do you know how long it took to harvest those?!" Zeus growled and picked at his food.

"I'm tired of celebrating human holidays. I say we make our own!" The gods, in birth order down the table, exchanged nervous looks. Posideon put a hand on his brothers shoulder.

"Zeus," he started. "Human holidays are based off of us."

"Not Christmas!" Ares piped up. "I would love to have my own holiday, when everyone can destroy things!"

"And that would help anyone how?" Athena reasoned. "Holidays should be times of joy, not destruction."

"My holiday would suck," Hermes said. "Everyone would be stealing things."

"He has a point," Hephestus said. "My holiday would be boring." Aphrodite huffed.

"Myyyyyy holiday would be the best out of all of yours. Make overs, dates, kisses..." She sighed dreamily.

"Do we really need to go into this?" Athena questioned. "The world is functioning well as it is."

"We could have our own holiday in a different month, since there are twelve of us!" Demeter said.

"That would work..." Dionysus muttered into his goblet of wine. Athena sighed, standing up and throwing her arms into the air.

"You are all too dense to see what it would do to the world!" She yelled.

"For the first time in a long time, I agree with Athena," Posideon responded. "It would throw off the balance of the world entirely."

"Thank you," Athena huffed. She folded her arms, glaring at Zeus. The king of the sky shifted in his seat. He cleared his throat.

"How about we put a vote to it?" He suggested. The gods exchanged looks.

"I say we should keep things as they are," Apollo said, finally taking out his ear bud. "I won't be able to drive me sun car on my day, which will mean: no sun. Sorry, but I want to be smart about this one." Athena smirked.

"I second that. The world will believe they have had an apocalypse. I say keep things as they are."

"But I wanna day to destroy things!" Ares argued, getting to his feet.

"The mortals will just make things stronger by the next year!" Athena argued back, leaning against the table toward him. Ares shifted his armor so it clattered loudly.

"I never get to have any fun," he grumbled. Posideon decided to speak up.

"I say we put off the vote until tomorrow. We organize things later." He looked to Zeus for the final desision. The rest of the gods' eyes landed on Zeus. He shifted in his seat once more then nodded.

"I agree with my brother. Tomorrow, we shall vote."

"Until then," Demeter said. "EAT YOUR GRAINS!!!"
