Chapter 4—Olympus, Yuck!—
 I flew down to the Underworld to drop off Junior, Chaos and my books.  I also wanted some food.  I went into the kitchen to get something to eat.  Then, I was getting ready to go when I ran into Hades.
 “Where ya off to Calli?” he asked.
 “I,  oh, I’m …going to…ah, v-vistit my mom, ok?” I managed to ask.
 “Ok Callisto.  You know I won’t hold you here. Don’t be afriad to tell me you’re visiting Athena.  You know I will let ya.”
 “Thanks,” I said as I hopped on Torch.  I was surprized at how calm he was, but then agin, I never heard him get mad when I wanted to see my mom.  I guess that was the one thing he truly did understand, that a child needs to see their mother once in a while.  In a few moments, I arrived at the gates of Olympus.   Hermes was there to let me in.
 “Hey Hermes,” I asked, “Have ya sen Athena around?”
 “Yeah Calli,” he replied and pointed to her.
 “Thanks.”  I said as Torch flew me to her.
 “Hey Mom!” I shouted so loud that almost eveyone there turned around to see who was yelling. “Oh, sorry.” I said.
 “Callisto, what brings you up here?” Athena questioned.
 “I came to see you. I miss you.”
 “You are always welcome to live up here with me.” Athena said.
 “NO-no ma, I am fine with Hades.” I said, hoping no other Olympians heard myoutburst.
 “So how is school?”
 “School is going great!  Today in shoppe class, we mage sun dials and mine fell apart three times before Junior helped me put it back together!  And you should have seen Herc’s!  His leaned to one side and wobbled a lot and he got the teacher so mad!  It was funny!  Oh, then this Friday there is this dance, seems ok.
 “Ok, that’s it?” asked Athena. “Aren’t you going?”
 “Nah,” I said as I looked down.  “No one’s asked me, and even if some one did, I dn’t have a dress to wear.”
 “So,” Athena said.  “That’s why you are here.   You need money for a dress?”
 Upon hearing those words coming from my mother I felt ashamed, for what she said was true. “Sorry mom, I did want to see you also, but-”
 “Oh, it’s ok Callisto.  Here, take some money anyway.  I know you meant well.” Athena said as she gave me some money.  “How is Junior?”
 “He is fine.  He is giong to the dance with Lura.”
 “That’s nice.” She replied.
 “Oh, Hercules wanted me to deliver this message to his parents, can you give it to them for him?”
 “Callisto, you told Hercules YOU would deliver it, so I think it would be wise for you to do it.” Athena said giving me that look that she really wanted me to keep my promise.
 “Oh, mother! But-” I was saying but got interupted.
 “No buts!”
 I grumbled as I went lookig for Hera.  I didn’t mind her, but I hated Zeus. All the Olympians looked at me and frowned.  They made comments like ‘I don’t see why SHE should be allowed here’ or ‘Athena must have been drunk’ and stuff like that.  That is why I moved away.  Everyday Junior and I were talked to like we were a lesser being because Hades was our father.  The only fun we ever had was shaving Ares’s dogs of was with Athena.  I giggled as I thought o Ares face when he saw the dogs.
 The smile left my face when I found Hera.  She was right next to Zeus.  Shit.  OK, I have to go to them.  As I approached, Zeus kind of just looked away.  Hera welcomed me though.
 “Hera, this here is from Hercules,” I said. Zeus turned to me when I mentioned his son’s name.
 “Hercules told you to do this?” Zeus asked.
 “I asked him if he wanted me to tell you anything.  We ARE friends whether you like it or NOT!”  I shouted as Athena backhanded my head.  “Ouch!”
 “ Have some manners Callisto.”  Athena said.
 “Ok. Well,  gotta blaze!  I have a dress to buy.  Thanks mom!”  I said as I quickly departed.
 “Thanks Callisto!” said Hera as Torch was flyng away.
Thank the gods that is over! Torch flew back to the Underworld as fast as her wings could take her.
 I entered the Underworld shortly afterwards.  I flew over Charon and past Cerberus.  We landed at the throne room as I saw Junior and Hades there.
 “So,” said Junior. “How was Olympus?”
 “Well, besides from me sieng my mom, THAT was toture!” I said as I dismounted Torch.  “Tommorow, I am going to go to the market place and buy my dress. Do you want to comewith me?”
 “I guess.” Said Junior.  “ I need to buy Lura a gift, so I will go with you.”
 “There’s a dance at school, kids?” questioned Hades. “Why didn’t ya tell me?”
 “We didn’t think you’d care,” said Junior.
 Hades gave Junior a dissapointed look.  “You didn’t think I’d care?  Well, I do care, you’re my kids.  No matter what those jerks on Olympus say, I care for my kids.”  Both Junior and I knew we upsetted him.  “So, who yas going with?”
 “I am going with Lura!  She is sooooo cute!”  Junior said.
 “Yeah, and Daphne is so upset!  You should see her Hades, she goes like this,” I said as I mocked Daphne crossing he arms. “ And she says stuff like ‘Junior baby, go with me hun’ and ‘I don’t see what Lura has that I don’t!’  It’s so funny!”
 “Why don’t ya go with them both?” Hades asked Junior.
 “Dad! No, I don’t like Daphne in that way!  She’s so, ahhh, what’s the word?  Demanding and flirtatious…”
 “And Lura isn’t?” I said.
 “Well, Lura is my girl, so it’s ok.”
 “Who’s your date Call?” Hades asked.
 “I think I am going to go stag, more fun that way.”  I replied.
 “No, it’s just that no one asked her!” said Chaos.
 “Well, you’re not going with anyone, so sut your trap!” I shouted.
 “Yes I am!  I got a girl.  Her name is Rumor.”
 We were shocked to find that anyone would date Chaos.  We were also shocked that he got out of the Pits.
 “You are annoying the hell out of my Chaos!” Hades shouted as he sent a fireball his way.  The rest of the night went on as usual.  Junior, Torch, Pain, Panic and I played a game of war, and other card games to pass the time.
