Epilogue

"Are you ready to see the new Athena?" Aphrodite asked cheerily.

Poseidon nodded. "Bring her out."

Aphrodite walked into her room, and a few minutes later brought out Athena. When Poseidon saw Athena, his jaw dropped. She looked stunningly beautiful. Her hair was curled to perfect, her makeup was dazzling, her gray eyes were peaceful-looking instead of warlike, and she was wearing an elegant white sweetheart neckline dress. She looked like the perfect bride.

"Uh…lawl…gah," Poseidon drooled.

Aphrodite smiled. Perhaps those two would make a good couple. "I'll leave you two alone." She disappeared in a cloud of pink dust.

Poseidon's palms felt sweaty. Her twiddled his fingers, looked at the floor—anything that would keep him from drooling over Athena's new appearance. It wasn't that Athena actually needed the makeup. She'd been quite beautiful before. It was just the fact that he was kind of feeling…attracted to her.

"Athena…um," Poseidon tried to make words. "You…look beautiful."

Athena rolled her eyes. "Gee thanks. Never would've guessed that."

Poseidon looked away. "Aphrodite did a good job."

"Well, she is the goddess of beauty."

"She isn't the only goddess that's beautiful." He turned to look at her.

Athena raised her eyebrow. "What exactly are you saying, Barnacle Beard?"

He scooted closer to her. "I'm saying that a few other goddesses could do well as goddesses of beauty."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah…do you want a list?"

Athena shook her head. "No, talking to you is torture enough."

"Same thing for you, Owl Head."

"Really? Just then you were drooling over me!"

"That's because Aphrodite gave you a makeover, again, and turned you all hot!"

"WELL MAYBE SHE SHOULD'VE GIVEN YOU A MAKEOVER!"

"NO! I'M HANDSOME ENOUGH ON MY OWN!"

"THE SEA IS STUPID!"

"THE SEA MAKES UP MOST OF THE EARTH! YOU OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THAT! AND OWLS ARE CREEPY!"

Athena slapped him. "I HATE YOU!" She whirled away in a huff.

Typical for Poseidon and Athena.

READ: Goddess of Lakes asked if I would right an epilogue where Aphrodite gives Athena a makeover. So she gave me the idea. I wanted to add some Pothena…and then some humor. XD
