Cronus or Kronus has escaped and is strong again. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades have come together to find a way to stop Cronus from taking Olyimpus again. But Athena, Ares, Apollo and Hermes want in on the whole plot. Zeus wants to get mortals in on the plot. But Hades was against it. "Brothers! Nice, Nefews! Why should we get the mortals involved with this?" "They will be affected too Hades...you know that!" Zeus replied harshly. Hades grumbled, "We did it once why can't we do it again?" Hermes heard his uncle and said, "I think taking on kids will work just fine Father! Good Idea!" So they all agreed to take on one kid each.

Ho ho see: Alright...I am changing this page to the page that holds all of the info on what rooms belong to who and what they look like...Hope you all who read enjoy my room Designing... Holiday Inn, Home of the gods-goddesses
Room: 400 on the 4th floor belongs to Athena Room discription: Athena: The room is rather big and on the fourth floor. The walls are a neutral light brown and the wood furnishings are white. The drapes on the windows are lightly patterned with squares if you messed with it a little. There is a small TV with a DVD/CD cabinet supporting it. The bed is a modern sleek hickory but darkly stained so it looked like it leveled the room with window in front of it. The bedding its self is a cream with white sheets and a little hints of red in the pillows that cover half the bed. What made it REALLY like Athena is the large book shelf and the seating aria with a small electric fire place in the center. The chairs were leather and the small sofa is a chocolate brown with green ivory blankets and the pillows are brightly patterned. In a few corners there are palms and the flooring was a dark hardwood that was similar to the sofa. A desk that looked like it belonged to the Greek ages of old is the color of ivory and a small laptop was sitting on it. Walking in to the bathroom you saw it was similar to Ares but not by much, the colors were bold and warm, a cinnamon brown with leather like texture on the wall.
Room 100 South Wing 2nd floor belongs to Poseidon Room Discription: Poseidon: Well, normally I would do wall to wall fish tanks but what room would that leave for bed and a bathroom and decent sized closet? When you walk in you are greeted firstly by the bed, a large metal bed with sea horses literally sticking out of the bed. Now I went elegant with placing this: A TV in front of the bed and a little seating aria meant for two micro-sawed chairs and an ataman. The TV is flanked by a few books and sea statues from all over the world. Books like Moby Dick and movies like One Thousand Leagues Under The Sea. On your left is the bathroom which you first walk in to. That is a great feature to behold. There is a large walk-in shower, and when you come in looking to your right there is a large fish tank with sea animals like: baby sharks, clown fish, blues and a few others. There is even an eel that comes out every now and again. What color is the bathroom? It is a sparkling deep blue like what you see out on the open water of the Mediterranean Sea. The glass was frosted with what looked like waves. Every thing is finished in silver and the towels hanging up are lime green with a big white P on them. Why does the closet need disrupting? I will show you! When you go through the bathroom you come to one large frosted and elaborate scene of aquatic animals almost as if the frosted pictures were real. The handle is a real peace of coral and when you pulled the ‘Frosted Painting’ back you come to the closet! There in the closet is seating aria a mirror, and cloths. What different about this closet you ask? The roof was missing, or it looked like it did, and there is pure white marble on the floor with the fluxing glass on the ceiling that made it look like you were standing on water. At day it is blue and at night it is sea green. They window in room had a view of the Pacific Ocean. Going back through the Bathroom you came back to the room of Poseidon, the wall color is a sea blue but a little lighter than the color in the bathroom. There was a crown molding around the ceiling also made of real coral. When you walk out of the bathroom you are greeted with the bed and another large fish tank. The animals inside are: Sharks, blues, clowns, Sea stars, Jelly’s, sea horse sea sponges, crabs, and all of the other ocean life from both Pacific and Atlantic.
Room 200 3rd floor on the North Wing belongs to Ares: Room discription: Ares: When you first walk in you look to your left and see: A bed two doors and a desk. A window is placed to the right and a TV in front of the bed with a small sectional and an ataman. A large storage center houses the TV and large DVD collection that Ares has. Even though you are greeted by the TV the bed was almost amazing. It was not like Poseidon’s where you had horses coming out of the front or Athena’s where it was all clean lines and very contemporary. Ares bed is a water bed. (Lucky him) It is made of what looks like rusted Iron but it is not. It is actually smoothed wood with a rust finish. The water bed and the frame are an oval shape and have Greek writing in the front. The linins for the bed are black and white pillows. The floor is a white shag carpet and the color on the walls was a bright electric red. The furniture, other than the bed, is black. And the drapes on the curtains are bright white. The sectional is also a bright white. Thankfully there are only two bright red walls and two plane white walls. The window wall and the wall that leads to the bathroom and closet are electric red. The bathroom has a walk in shower, soaker tub with a flow of water jetting out of the ceiling, a private toilet space. It was like a large walk in closet! The colors are, white, cream blue and green. The wood for the cabinets were dark chocolate brown. And there is not much to say about the closet other than it is a regular closet.
Room 10 on ground floor belongs to Apollo Room discription: When you walk in to the room you are greeted by the Terries to the back. Of course being on ground floor and in the right wing of the hotel how can you not have a lovely back yard to look at with Greek statues and ponds. And a small covered patio with out a roof. The gardens are green looking out to the mountains and Dionysus's vineyards. (How can you not like that? you people are insane!) There is a little coy pond in the back with a fountain made of marble. The marble head of a lion is cut in to it and water comes out the mouth! (Yuck) Going inside you find high ceilings and a Grand Piano in black. The walls are a Perry-winkle blue with a small purple sheen. The floors are headed hard wood. They are also the color of Ivory to replace marble. The linins are white and clean all the time. The wood in the room is a modern white. The linins have a little cream to offset the white. In one place to your right also you find a small book shelf similar to Athena's and a rather large electric fire place for the winter to warm the space. The carpet is a shag carpet made to look like a bed of sand when the water has dried up and little wavy black marks. He also has a harp of gold in part of the room. Moving back to the walls there are pictures, some in color, others in black and white. Here are a few names of some singers: Bob Hope, Judy Garland, Bing Crosby, Ann Miller, Andy Rooney, Frank Sinatra, Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly! There quite a few jazz singers...the closet is placed on the left side of the room and is connected to the bathroom by a sliding door. So in order to conserve such a big space there is no direct bathroom door. You have to go through the Closet to get to the bathroom. What does the bathroom look like? Well it has slate stone on the ground and jet Tub...not only that but a walk in shower with glass pains. Going back through the closet and in to the room you walk past the sliding doors to the seating aria (XD) There is an ataman in the center flanked by two traditional micro-sawed chairs in the color of creamy white with tacks the color of gold. There is also a couch, that really is more of a shay, and that is a bright burst of color out of no where. The fabric is rough and has a square pattern the color is light baby blue with gold and red light shined pillows. At night it is a peace full time with the smell of the sea and light music playing on the enchanted harp. During the day it changes to a lilac, rose, meadow smell and classical music is also playing on the enchanted Piano.
Room 1-0 belongs to Hades Room Discription: Hades: When you walk down the hall way you are greeted by a wall. There are no doors in sight and you start to wonder why did he lead me down the hall in the first place. With a wave of your hand a door with old world charms pops out of nowhere. Opening the door you walked in to a room is much like Hades. Though it shows neglect and a lot so it is still a decent living space if you clean it up a little. It even has a forest-y charm to it so with out further a due here is what it looked like: When you walk in you are greeted by the door to the back yard. Looking to your right you are greeted with a day bed. Looking to your left you see an entertainment center. In the little boxes where that are supposed to be trinkets and jars and vases and all that jazz are spider webs, spiders of all kinds, dead bugs it looked like it had never been used ever. There are also spider webs in the corners of the room and on the rail of the day bed. The linins are made of silk from silkworms and are shiny, made to look like spiders webs. The color on the walls, except the entertainment wall, is a dark forest green the entertainment wall is black. The floors are littered with dead bugs and moss. The curtains are shabby and look like they are the original ones, with a floral pattern and moth wholes in them from eating away at them. The dust is also so thick there are termites in them. Underneath the dust on the floor are beautiful hard wood floors that look like a forest floor. The plants that ARE in the room are hidden underneath the dust and what look like ghosts by the bed are actually young oak trees. (How anything can grow in this mess is beyond me) going to your right toward the bed you run across a gold handled door opening it you see a closet. It is just as empty with just the same amount of spider webs and spiders as you can only imagine. Going towards the entertainment center you come across another gold handled door that leads to the bathroom. Now the bathroom is not at as bad as the closet or the room itself. You can also tell Hades designed it. There are stalagmite and stalactites hanging from the ceiling and growing out of the floor. The floor is a sight to see. You walk on non reflective dull frosted glass and there are diamonds, Rubies, flecks of gold and silver and of course gray rock. The shower is completely blocked from view but there is one and a toilet too. Going out of the bathroom you go past the entertainment center to the court yard. There in the middle of the court yard there is a fountain and the trees are barren the grass is nothing but weeds and thorns. There are benches that are need of some TLC. One of the trees is in bloom and there are fruits on it. Yes, it is the tree you hear about in the story of Persephone. The water in the fountain is gray and a moaning sound issues from it. (Ha, ha, you know the river of death…fountain of death see the- Nvm) So the fountain does work. And if you look into it closely you will see faces of dead people and things you could never have imagined. The view is worth it though you get a decent view of Dionysus’s vineyards and Ocean.
Room 999 belongs to Zeus on the very top of the Hotel Room Discription: Zeus: Yes, he lives on the top floor. And yes…he has a roof garden! Now to go in to detail: When you reach the hall at the top ground after climbing all of those steps or took the elevator. There is only one large door with big gold numbers that say: 999 This is the home of Zeus. You walk in and you intently see a silver gold spiral staircase leading up to the roof garden. Looking to your left is the door to the bathroom and further along the wall is another door to the closet. Looking away from it to your right you see a large floor to ceiling window with a view of the mountains and Hollywood hill. The window is arched and squared off making it look like a cottage window. There is also a window seat that can be used for a bed of lounging on. The window treatments are a royal blue and purple with gold tassels for a fringe. The walls are a creamy white and the furniture is black. The floors are dark wood making the room look heavy. On the wall when you look right there is a hanging flat screen TV and beneath it there is a DVD holder and the walls have picture frames with famous rulers, including Zeus himself and a few other mythology gods and goddesses. The only one not hanging there is Hades and the lords of the dead. There is a rather large sectional in the middle of the room and a Shay’s to the left flanked on the right by two leather chairs. Going in to the bathroom you saw marble floors and deep rich purples and greens. The towels have large Z’s on them. There is also a frosted glass shower door with the picture of clouds and mountains. It almost looked real if you got it in the right light. The sink aria was beside the Jet tub. There was mural of some Greek open land and was supposed to make it look like a window. Now to see the closet you had to come out of the bathroom and go over to the closet door and get to it that way. Going up the stairs to roof garden was a sight and a half. A few lawn chairs were out and table with an umbrella. In part of the garden was a large grill. A few trees and that was it. But the view! You could see Hollywood from the top of the hotel and the ocean as far as the eye can see! It was like you were looking down upon the world in one fell swoop! Even though Holiday Inn was not that high.

~Hades~ “UUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!” an angry shout rang across the underworld. The guards were cowering in a corner of the hall way that led to the throne room of Hades’s Palace. “Why did he have to say that?” he shouted at nothing. Cerberus whined a little. “I can’t find a single…solitary…little…unimportant…Life to help me with what Zeus…curse him, How am I supposed to find one?” in his rage Hades stormed out of the burnt doors. Cerberus whined some more, “Oh shut up!” Hades mumbled as he headed out of his domain in to the real world. Shading his eyes from the glaring sun he walked around modern day Northern California. /Why Dionysus wanted to come here is beyond-/he was cut off in his thought by a shout of, “NOOOOOO!!!!” Hades turned scowling at the sight of the hurrying Dionysus. “What?” he asked. Dionysus smiled at his uncle and said. “You were about to crush that grape plant!!” he said pointing where Hades was about to step. Looking down there was a small plant by Hades foot. Sighing he took off in another direction, up the hill overlooking the Rockies. Sighing he headed for the closest town to see if he could try again on trying to find someone to help him, Even though he did not need it, but he agreed to do it and now it was a little late, he had to do it.
~Cassandra & Jackie~ Cassandra and Jackie were sitting out side. The sky was a beautiful shade of blue and the grass was a dying shade of brown. The leaves were rust colors and it was decently warm out. The first girl was a dark blond, her eyes were a light green and she wore a sold red turtleneck and a pair of beater jeans with rainbow flip-flops. The girl next to her was warring a brown turtleneck with cords and socks on her feet. Her hair was short and boy cut, and her eyes were brown. In between them was a small plate of cookies and mink. “Care for another cookie lady Cassandra?” asked the one in the red shirt to the one in the brown shirt. “Don’t mind at all Princess Jackie!” Cassandra answered giggling. A black and white dog came trotting up with a ball in his mouth. Dropping it he perked his ears and stared at the cookies longingly. “No Bandit!” Jackie said picking up the ball and throwing. Bandit did not move. His head followed the ball but he did not get up to go and get it. “Go on! Go get it!” Cassandra and Jackie coaxed. Little did they know they were being watched.
~Hermes~ Hermes. What was he doing? Absolutely nothing. He was enjoying a cookie he stole with out the girls knowing. Smiling as he watched the dog stair at the cookies. Twirling his wand around his fingers he chewed on a cookie smiling as he waved the wand and a glass of milk came out of nowhere.
~Ares~ “Great! Really great! Burnt!” A man said as he sat in a booth at McDonalds. Taking a hunk out of the burger he sipped his diet coke. “Ahhh!!” he said as he smacked his tongue around his lips. His cloths were bike riders, a leather jacket and tight jeans, and his hair was red/gold color. “Now to find the right person here…” he said again to himself looking around at all the teenagers in the fast food restraint (sp?).
~Hunter~ Taking a stroll through the mall in mid-afternoon with his mom was very…confusing. “Mom…why are we here again?” the boy asked. “To pick up your sister!” a tall woman answered. The boy beside her was tall and thin. But could handle anything. His eyes were a clear blue and his hair was a gold color. He was wearing jeans and a black light weight jack. He also had flip-flops on. /Finally! / He though “The book store?” he asked out loud. He honestly thought that they would be at Claries or something…not a book store. Secretly he loved the book store, “Yes dear! This is where I told your sister to be…now where is she?” a sudden commotion out side the book store told his sisters arrival with her friends. The gild was tall like her mom but had red hair and bright brown eyes. She was wearing a t-shirt, shorts and jeans. Her hair was in a tight bun and she wore glasses. Her backpack was blue and old. “Mom? Can I go to McDonalds?” Hunter asked. He was 15; to day was his birth day, so he was old enough to go places with out his mom. His mom sighed and handed him a five dollar bill and said, “Spend wisely!” and she shooed him away from the book store and out in to the crowds.
~Zeus~ /This is going to be great! / Zeus thought. The fact the Cronus was free did not bother him at the moment. He was looking at women and not thinking about what he was SUPPOSED to be doing. Though it was in the back of his mind nagging at him. “Hera will KILL you!” the tiny voice said. /Oh…yeah…/ he thought back. Going down the street in which he was in he saw a girl leave her house. “Nope! Not the one!” he said and strolled down the street looking for the right one. What did he look like, well…he had golden hair and deep depressed blue eyes. A small beard and he was dressed in fine cloths. (Unlike Hades who never took off his cloths except to put on another one that was clean) he had on a white tucks and his shoes were white with black tips and his tie was plaid (sp?). He was looking or a guy. He knew most of his children and his brothers would pick girls. (or so he thought) so he walked down the street and turned corners.

Athena- Did she really expect to find her mortal here? In this....mall? Properly attaired for the time in a longleeved black blouse and blue jeans. Brown hair hung in a straight curtain around her face, held out of gray eyes by a hairband. It hadnt been that long ago when her father had told them of the plan. Her uncle,Hades, had not been too thrilled. But, all to their own. They must put Cronos in his place. Athena swept the crowds again. Surely there was someone here worthy to recieve her gift andaid the immortals in their quest against Cronos. But who? All she could see right now were twittering flocks of mortals oggling over apparel and members of the opposite sex. They were more beneficial to Aphrodite, not the goddess of wisdom! Infuriated, she wondered over the progress of her father, her brothers, and her uncle. Had they found suitable candidates? She hoped she could soon. Ares would never cease his torment if she couldn't.
-x-
Apollo- Sucess! Half an hour on the park and he'd already spotted the perfect choice. A bespecaled, auburn haired girl sitting on a blanket under a copius willow. A book lay in her lap and a fiddle beside her. Her headrested against the bark of the tree. Apollo, clad in a well tailore suit, surveyed the girl from a bench across the park. A good choice for the gifts of music and combat that he planned to bestow. The stone in his pocket was a comforting weight. He would have to watch Zeus around her. She had a sort of charm, being slender and pale, and Zeus did have a slight tendancy for the mortal women. But that was later. Now his thoughts were focused on how to convince her he was an ancient god from Greece in need of her help tobring down a Titan?
-x-
Kyli- Purse? Check. Wallet? Check. Keys? Check. Good to go then. Kyli Dirvall locked her apartment door before stepping outinto the California sunshine. No matter what the season, the sun always shined. She'd love a bitofvariety but oh well. Tucking a strand of blackhair behind an ear, Kyli stepped off the curb and walked across the street to the bakery she worked at. Fun times, spending hours working with a blistering oven. It was worth it though. The cookies here were to DIE for...
-x-
Dameon- A classic California and he had nothing better to do? LAME! Dameon Gotti, dressed only in a pair of dark baggy jean shorts, an open whie collared shirt and sneakers, ran fingers through his copper hair. Walking down the street, he saw a girl cross in front of him. Green eyes silently appraised and, as he looked up, he spotted a golden haired stranger apparently doing the same thing. Small world eh? He flashed the stranger a smile before stopping to retie his shoe. Damn crappy laces....
-x-
Dana- Nature. Such a wonderful escape from the hubub of California city life. Here, in the park, she was alone with her book and her fiddle. Her silver eyes were closed peacefully against the midday sun, her head against the smooth bark of the willow. She was fine for a few moments, untill a nagging feeling in the pit of her stomach caused her to look around. There. Across the path, sitting on a bench. A grey haired man with blue eyes. He reminded her of her grandfather. He seemed confused, but confident. And he was staring at her. WHY?
-x-
Poseidon- Yeah. He took the cheap way out. He's the freaking Lord of the seas! Where better to find a mortal suited for his gift than the aquarium? Cept for the beach maybe. But this worked! White hair, blue-green eyes, brown pants with suspenders ovver a white shirt. A brown coat was slung over one arm as the god ambled around the dim room filled with tanks.Surely he wold find someone here?
-x-
Marius- "Dad. I can't believe you're forcing me to stare at guppies with Lisa." A redhaired 16 year old stared blankly at the small fish swiming mindlessly in the glass tank. "Marius, if you're gonna complain, go look around yourself." Marius grinned at his father before dashing off tohis favorite display. Sharks...... Alone at the tank, save for an elderly gentleman in brown, Marius gazed up at the massive great white swimming past. "Hello beauty..."he muttered.

~Hermes~ Hermes sat there on a wood beam looking down from the top as the girls tried to get the dog to go and get the ball. Stealing another cookie he drank some milk and watched the girls. /Hmmm…/ he thought looking at Jackie. /Could she be the one? / He watched her before moving to Cassandra. At that moment a little boy, about the age of twelve, came in and said, “Mom said I could have a cookie!!” and he took one. Cassandra smiled and took the cookie away from him. “Its bad manors young prince not to ask the keepers of the cookies!” she said and teased him with the cookies. “Give it!!” he shouted. Both girls laughed and Hermes smiled. /Well…/ he thought again. Not wanting to make his presents known, /it seems I have done Ares a favor! / But the girl got up and took out a cell phone from her back pocket. /A Cell Phone? Where are her parents anyway? / Jackie spoke, “Come on Cassandra, Mom wants us to meet her at Burger King…” giving the boy his cookie back Jackie and Cassandra headed in the house where a young man was watching a turn of the century movie about the end of the world. “Mom wants us to meet her at Burger king…the one down the street…” she handed the cell phone to the older man and he nodded, “Grab your jackets and lets go!” he said moving towards the door. /Well! Lookie there!! A regular messenger! She may be what I am looking for!! / He felt the weight of the stone in his cloak now. Smiling he waited and watched, the girl Jackie, and watched as she crawled in to the car. He waited till they were gone before jumping down and stealing a few more cookies. Looking at the dog he said, “Follow if you wish! But Chocolate will kill you! And I don’t think Hades will like you very much!” he bent down and patted the dog and walked off skipping happily as knew he found who he was looking for.
~Zeus~ Looked at the young man who was tying his laces, “Need help young one?” he asked. /Hmmm…I wonder where his parents are…. / he asked himself before he spotted another women walking down the street. /Come on! There are greater things at risk than women!/ he added to himself looking at the copper haired kid he smiled added, “What a lovely day no?” he straitened his tie and dusted his pants off looking around.
~Ares~ Ares had finished his burger and ordered another diet coke. “Thank you mam! Pleasure doing business with you!” he smiled a charming smile and walked out with his diet coke and hopped on the motorcycle heading for the mall. “What should I find there? I should have thought about it sooner than…” he said as he waded out in to the afternoon traffic.
~Hunter~ Heading out in to the mall he looked around. Everything was loud. You could hear the kids show going on and the light of the afternoon sun leaked in and gave the white walls a shine. Running he almost ran over a brown haired lady with gray eyes. “So sorry miss!” he said looking to see if he had done anything. There was something strange about his gray eyed lady. Something ancient. But he did not know what it was. He waited a moment before saying, “Are you hurt? Did I step on a toe?” he got the feeling he was freaking out over nothing. But he was not sure. He liked feeling sure of himself that the other person was okay
~Hades~ Grumbling that he was being looked at and the sun was in his eyes he came to a street and saw a girl with black hair and a man who looked familiar, and had the feeling that he was going to see him again, he did not smile; he just kept walking down till he came to the bakery. Looking in the window he saw the girl starting work. Hades dark, dark brown almost black eyes surveyed her for a few moments. Looking down at his hands he thought about Persephone, “She does not know…” he glared at a passer who was looking like he was about to die of laughter because of Hades cloths. They were black with a Greek pattern marking on the edges. His shoes were ancient and made of leather. His skin was pale but not quite white. He also had dark brown/black hair to match his eyes. He was also handsome, or so he thought, the cookies smelled good. But he was not hungry. Walking in to the bakery in his ‘get up’ he did not smile but he gave off this deadly feeling every time you looked at him.

Athena- THACK! Solid wall of flesh hitting you. Not fun. Staggering backwards, Athena peered at the young man who'd run into her. It clicked. The moment he inquired to her welfare. THIS was the chosen mortal who should recieve her gift. Now how to convince him? "Apologies are mine young one." she said softly. "It seems we were both preoccupied." The stone in her jeans pocket felt warm,needing to be bestowed upon the mortal in front of her.
-x-
Apollo- Crap. She'd noticed him. Make or break time! Collecting himself, he stood and ambled slowly towards her. "Ahh music. The holiest of activites....." Apollo kept his voice smooth. "Tell me child......do you enjoy your music?" He offered a friendly smile to show he meant no harm.
-x-
Kyli- How come flour is so.....messy? She'd barely been in here 10 minutes and she already had straks of white powder in her black hair, on her apron, smudges on her cheeks. The clip in her hair was not helping. Singing softly under her breath, she kneaded the dough for todays orders. All was fine for a few minutes. Then the tiny hairs on the pack of her neck started to rise. She could almost hear the Twilight Zone theme. She looked up through the front window and almost jumped out of her skin. A man, garbed in the oddest clothes was looking in at her. She glared right back into those seemingly depthless eyes. If he wanted something, this was her invitation to come in or get lost.
-x-
Dameon- Hearing a random voice, Dameon looked up into the blue eyes that gazed down at him. "Whoa! You can't sneak up on people like that! Premature heart attacks are real...." He stood and gave th blonde man a quick study. "You obviosly arent from here are you?" he asked, referring to the tux, the shoes, the entire getup.
-x-
Dana- Here he comes here he comes.... Dana looked up at the elderly man. Her fear changed to shock, then asort of peaceful calm. This man was not going to hurt her. "Music is my life sir. I cant imagine existing without it." she patted her fiddle fondly, the wood warm beneath her hand.
-x-
Poseidon- Knew it. He'd found who he was looking for. A flame haired boy had made his way to the shark tank that he himself now stood at. The boy had an all too apparent interest with the creatures swimming behind the thickglass. "Fascinating creatures, no? Beautiful but deadly....."
-x-
Marius- "S'cuse me?" Marius glanced over at the elderly man who was standing beside him. "Oh yeah...They're amazing." he grinned. He'd always loved the ocean. How could you not, living inCalifornia?

~Hades~ Walking in to the store Hades looked around. /Cookies? Candy? Persephone! / He thought. Persephone always seemed to be lurking around a corner or just happening to see him Every time he got near another woman. And would always try and make a scene and complaint about it, “She is desperate. And I do love her! With all of my heart! But she does not know what I am walking about up here for!!! How will I explain it to Persephone?” he barely said that out loud. Ignoring the woman in the kitchen, not really his favorite place to be, he looked for cookies and chocolates to give to Persephone, if she ever showed up. But mostly it was to stall his time and get a feel of the girl (how old is she?) that he was considering.
~Zeus~ /Oh boy…/ he thought desperately to think of something. Then he remembered he was offered a job to find a stunt boy for a Hollywood film called, “Stunt Double”, he spoke slowly and clearly, “I come from Hollywood, on a job, you see child I am an Agent. I come to these parts of California all the time to find stunts for children actors and actresses…and you look like the actor that is staring in the movie, trailers have not been released yet, Stunt Double. As you can see the movie and the need for this stunt double is highly important!” he waited for the boy’s dull reaction, he always seemed to get that from someone but at the moment Zeus was a stunt finder and a movie agent this was his last chance other wise he would be fired and that would be the end of his search and he would have to give in to what Hades was talking about, “We did it once why can’t we do it again?” those words rang in his ears as well as the cruelty of his voice when he said it.
~Hermes~ Moving swiftly he watched as the family car went down the street and Bandit was at his heels collar around his neck. Sure Hermes was old, he had white streaks in his gold hair, but he could move swiftly and that is what he was looking for in this girl. As they turned in to the traffic of Northern California, the most active part of Northern California he growled and went back to the house. When he reached it the dog was in the gate and waiting to let in. Disappearing in a puff of white smoke Hermes was gone.
~Jackie & Cassandra~ “Dad…did you see that man back there with OUR dog?” Jackie asked. She had seen him as they left corner and wondered what he was up to. He looked familiar but she could not remember where. “Have you seen him before dear?” Her dad asked looking at her through the rear view mirror. “Not that I know of…” She answered. “Maybe it’s a figment of your imagination?” Cassandra offered. She was staying with the Addams for the whole of School Break.
~Ares~ Growing tied, now that the fact that he can not find anyone he looked to his left as a car came out on the highway and moved beside him. He smiled and waved to the driver looking at the girls in the back seat. “Nope!” he whispered barely moving his lips to show he did so. Riding on he wondered if he would ever find the right one. “Athena will hold this against me like I would against her!!” he mumbled reaching the nearest Burger King. He saw in the window a lady on a cell phone texting. “I’ll try here…always like Burger King…and I might just get a better burger here!” he smiled and hopped off his bike and walked inside.
~Hunter~ Smiling at the woman he said, “No, no…I was the one that ran into you…Apologies are mine…” Unaware of what he was about to say he added, “My first time alone and I already run people over!” clamping his hand over his mouth he offered, “Can I get you something…” /Idiot!! Damn Idiot! Oops! Should not have thought that!! Idiot!!! Why do you open your mouth like that? / He thought to himself. But stood there resisting the urge to run.

Athena- "How about a milkshake and fries? My treat." she offered. This was unfolding beautifully. She would have the opportunity to slip the rock in while distracting the boy. Explanations would assuredly follow.
-x-
Apollo- He smiled at the girl. "I could not have said it better myself dear." He offered his hand to her. " Benjamin Raspail. I'm a retired violinist from the Boston Philharmonic." He noted the gleam of awe in her eyes as he mentioned the famous orchestration group. "Such heat to be sitting in....may I offer you a bottle of water or something? There's a vendor just upthe way."
-x-
Kyli- So he'd decided to enter. Focusing on her work, she continuously stole glances at him when his back was turned. He seemed to be searching for something and every now and then he jumped at a loud noise. It was like he was expecting someone to burst through the door. "Crazy idiot....Probably running from the cops or the loony patrol...." Kyli muttered under her breath. She'd seen some crazy getups in her time. But this guy took the cake. Pun not intended
-x- Dameon- "Are you pulling my chain or something?" he asked. "You want ME to go to Hollywood and be a stunt double? In an actual movie?!?!" Dameon almost passed out from sheer excitement. "You don't have to ask me twice! I'll do it!" He paused. "Wait.....Whats the catch?"
-x-
Dana- Boston Philharmonic. A violinist from THE Boston Philharmonic was talking to her. Could this day be any better? "Dana." she said, shaking his proffered hand. She was caught slightly off guard at his offer though. Her mother had always taught her not to accept food or drink from strangers. "Ummm, I'm quite fine sir. Thank you though."
-x-
Poseidon- This had to be handled delicately. Last thing he needed was to be accused of something he had no intention of doing. "Have you always liked aquatic animals son?" he asked nonchalontly, mentaly requesting that more and more sharks swim past the boy, tostarehim in the eye.
-x-
Marius-
"Yeah...." Marius would've replied a bit more respectfully, but at that moment it seemed like everyshark in the tank wanted toswim RIGHT PAST HIS FACE and give him the once over. This couldn't be happening! Every shark? This was incredible.

~Hunter~ “Your treat?” Hunter asked. He was not supposed to take food from strangers. But he was fifteen and all. “I’m sure my mom won’t mind…” he stared. “Sure...” He finial said and looked at his shoes. They were untied. He bent down to tie them. Coming back up he waited for the woman to lead the way, “What is your name…?” he asked.
~Jackie & Cassandra~ Crawling out of the car Cassandra and Jackie smiled as they saw the woman I the window. Jackie ran in to restraint (sp?) Jackie almost ran Ares over. “So sorry!” she said, and ran over to her mom. Cassandra entered a little slower and said to Ares, “She really is sorry!” and she waited for Ares to move before going over to Mrs. Addams.
~Ares~ “HEY!” Ares shouted at Jackie. The girl behind him apologized for her friend’s action. Looking at her he saw she was strong and possibly a bully. /Bing-go! / He thought. Now to talk and make friends with the parents… That was his next goal. “Apologies accepted…” at that moment Ares Saw Hermes walk in to Burger King. ~Hermes~ Walking in to Barger King Hermes found a seat and waited for the line to go down nodding to Ares as he did so. /he is going to ask why I am here…/ Hermes thought. /Just wait! / He added and waited for the line to go down. ~Zeus~ Zeus smiled and said, “The only catch is if your parents sign this…” out of his pocket he pullout a sheet of paper that said: Agent Jeremiah Del Jones

“That is all your parents have to sign if you are interested. Then I take you out to Lunch…” It was so simple. A few signatures and he had his child! So simple Hades himself couldn’t think of it. Or so Zeus thought.
~Hades~ Hades smiled to hide his anger that someone would say that, “No mam…Just trying to keep an eye out for my wife! Its out anniversary…Married for twenty three years! And I want to get her something!” What a lie! Twenty three years his foot! It’s been longer than that and he knew it. But this mortal did not. “If you could help me…I would like to get her something sweet…and since I am not a girl I need help picking flowers…out for her…think you could help me?” he hated himself. And had a reason for it too. But he had to do something!!
