SIBLING RIVALRY It was morning time on Mount Olympus and all the Gods were chatting

among themselves. All of a sudden Artemis threw the hallway doors open, her silver hair trailing behind her, and walked down the hallway with purpose with apparent anger on her face. Artemis- (screeching) Alright where is he! Apollo!!! Zeus- Where is who? Artemis- Apollo! You know, the one who probably ingested too much lead paint in his crib as a child. God of music and sun. Mr. I-am-better-thaneveryone? All the Gods and Godesses shrugged while keeping an eye on her. Zeus sat at his throne polishing his thunderbolts looking intimidated by Artemis's fiery temper. Zeus- What has happened this time, my daughter? Before you speak, clear your mind of your anger. I still have bruises from the last time you had a tantrum and that was a year ago. Artemis- Still not over that are you father? Well anyways, he has been trying to seduce my nymph friends in the form of a stag, turned Snowray and my other hunting hounds a bright neon purple, switched my bow strings with rubber bands, and now my favorite hot spring I like to bathe in now smells like that putrid smoke that lingers around the Oracle of Delphi. Aries- (cautiously) Are you sure it wasn't Hermes? He is the God of tricksters and thieves. Artemis- (harshly) Fool! He may be a trickster but he isn't suicidal. Aries then cowered behind his chair like a whipped puppy, frightened by Artemis' temper. Just then Apollo walked in with a huge grin on his face. Apollo turned to see his sister Artemis glaring at him with a murderous expression. Artemis- Well, well, well, look who decided to show his pig headed face to me? My favorite brother thats who!

Apollo immediately turned his heel and ran with the Virgin Huntress close at his heels. Silence. Then a series of high- pitched yelps and laughs echoing throughout the air. Hermes- (chuckling) Well this should be a lesson to you all. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned but a woman scorned hath no fury like a ticked off twin. END OF SCENE It is afternoon on Mount. olympus and Artemis struggles against Hermes grip, and Apollo stays a distance away from Artemis. Artemis- Hermes! By the Gods let me go or you shall feel my arrow against your temple when you are asleep! Apollo- (complaining) come on Arty! Cant we just talk about this? Artemis- No, you turd covered swollen faced Ghoul! Apollo- But-! Artemis- But no! I'm tired of your stupid jokes! You're always playing pranks on my nymphs and I! If I wanted to be a subject of your lameness I would have stuck a sign on my forehead that said 'victim' in bright indigo. Apollo- Lame?! My ideas aren't lame! Hermes- Apollo, they actually are. I mean, how many times have you done that color changing trick on her hounds? Artemis- see! Evene Hermes agrees with me and he's the GOD of tricksters. Your pranks are just annoying. Hermes- Plus you're the God of music and arts so stick with your area of expertise. Now stop it now because my patience is already thinner than a piece of tree bark. Apollo- Hermes, Hermes, Hermes You yourself said that pranks, jokes, and excuses were the Arts.

Artemis- Keep going on like that, and Hermes might let you have it. Apollo- (mockingly) He couldn't beat me if he tried! Hermes- Artemis, my dear. Artemis- Yes? Hermes- Sic' em Hermes lets go of Artemis and her eyes glow with a vicious spark. Apollo lets out a high pitched, girlish scream as Artemis pounces on him. Athena- Hermes? You were right. Hermes- Hmmm? Wha? Athena- (grinning) Last week. You said and I quote, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, but a woman scorned hath no fury like a ticked off twin." unquote Hermes blinked before glaring at her. Athena watching the whole scene from her throne just smirked before wincing as a shrill yelp filled the air followed by a whimper as Apollo cowered at Artemis' feet
