Poseidon often got bored after living for so long. You would think that a God, like him, would have never been bored, as much as he was. He tried everything to find a cure for his boredness. He tried pranking Hermes and Apollo, he made a few minor earthquakes, he even attempted to prank his brother - which once again didn't work.

He decided to do the one thing he loved. Arguing with Athena. Now you may wonder why he didn't do this in the first place. The answer was simple. He liked to save the best till last.

Many people would think that after 3000 years of arguing that you would finally make up, but when you immortal there are endless possibilities and you don't have to make up straight away, as you have the rest of eternity to do it.

Poseidon spotted Athena on her way up to Olympus - probably going to attend the council meeting, which Poseidon had totally forgotten about, until he had spotted her. She was halfway up the stairs until Poseidon shouted. "Hey, Owl Face!"

Athena turned around, slightly annoyed at what he had just called her. "What do you want Kelp-Head?"

Poseidon was about to reply, but he didn't know why he had called her out. He was trying to think of something insulting to say, but couldn't think of anything. He looked around to see if anyone was watching his embarrassment, but instead, he noticed a book in Athena's hands. He decided to make one swift movement and snatch it from her hands.

"Hey! Give it back!" Athena shouted at him, her face went red with anger. Poseidon held it above his head, so she couldn't reach it. She kept jumping but had no luck.

"Nope, I won't give it back." He replied while chuckling a little."Why do you like books so much anyway? They're are pointless and a waste of time."

"No, they are not!" Athena replied, putting her foot down, "They are full of knowledge and adventure, but surely you wouldn't know that, as you don't have a single brain cell in your head. Which, also explains why you are doing this. AND IF YOU HAD A BRAIN CELL, EVEN ONE SINGLE BRAIN CELL, YOU DEFINITELY WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN AWAY THE WISDOM GODDESSES BOOK!"

Poseidon looked at her alarmed, and was so scared of her anger, he didn't even notice he had lowered his hand, so Athena could easily take back her book.

Athena snatched the book and grabbed his arm. She twisted it, judo flipping him over and he landed hard on his back. To top it all off, she kicked him in the crotch and muttered: "That should teach you not to mess with me." She pulled a sarcastic smile and walked away.

Poseidon couldn't take in what just happened, she literally judo flipped him. But, weirdly enough it wasn't the pain, that which made him stay in a trance on the ground. It was her smile. He knew it was sarcastic but sarcastic or not he still loved it. She never did smile much, so when she did Poseidon loved it. He tried hard not to make it obvious if anyone knew people would make fun of him. He knew he shouldn't even think of Athena like that, but he found it hard not to.

She had precious, intelligent grey eyes, which were always eager to learn more, and so easy for him to get lost in. She was beautiful, the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

Nobody knew how he felt about her. In fact, he hated himself for thinking this way about her. She would never feel the same, never in a million years.

Well, that's what he thought.
