CharmedOne2689: alright, alright.....

MrUnderWorld1: Hades:...*looks over at him, laughs*...doesn't take much to make him mad, huh?....short fuse

CharmedOne2689: *goes over and picks up the screaming Thanatos*

MrUnderWorld1: Thanatos: *still screaming*..

Hades:....gods...did he even stop to take a breath?

CharmedOne2689: Probably not...

MrUnderWorld1: HA ...

MrUnderWorld1: Thanatos:...*kicking and screaming, having a temper tantrum even though he's out of his high chair*

CharmedOne2689: Thanatos, calm down

CharmedOne2689: *can barely keep a hold on him*

MrUnderWorld1: *starts to calm down after awhile....still red, but has stopped screaming*...*all worked up*

MrUnderWorld1: Hades:...wow...

CharmedOne2689: Oh, no no no....don't cry.....shhh....

CharmedOne2689: *glances up at Hades* Where do you think he gets it from?

MrUnderWorld1: .....yea...true....

MrUnderWorld1: Thanatos: *all quiet, but still wears an expression as if he's gonna shed tears, eyes all big and watery*

CharmedOne2689: *strokes Thanatos' cheek* Don't start crying....please....

MrUnderWorld1: *silent tears drip down his face, but he doesn't freak out....stays quiet, getting tired looking*

CharmedOne2689: I think someone needs a nap, hm?

MrUnderWorld1: Hades:....gods...all of THAT over being in a high chair?...

CharmedOne2689: Hades, you do the same thing.....

CharmedOne2689: *chuckle*

CharmedOne2689: Let's put him to bed...he looks tired......

MrUnderWorld1: .....alright....you do that...

CharmedOne2689: And it will only be for a few hours

CharmedOne2689: Kara is allowed to go

CharmedOne2689: Hera: I just don't think your father or myself would approve of you seeing such a movie, dear....

CharmedOne2689: Hebe: But mooooom

CharmedOne2689: Hera: No.....maybe when you're a little older

MrUnderWorld1: .....Hebe.....the movie probably sucks....and if it's full of that overrated romantic crap...c'mon, forget it...

MrUnderWorld1: ...hey Eris ...*acts all happy*...guess what?

CharmedOne2689: Eris: What?

CharmedOne2689: Hebe: *silent, looks up at him*

MrUnderWorld1: ....oh goddess of YOUTH, tell me....what caused your mother's age to become so....oh, I dunno...young?

CharmedOne2689: *sigh*

CharmedOne2689: It's was Eris' idea

MrUnderWorld1: .......how OLD is Eris?

MrUnderWorld1: ERIS!!!!!SHUT UP!!

MrUnderWorld1: anyway, Hebe....how OLD is your little sister, huh?

CharmedOne2689: Hebe: Uh....four....

MrUnderWorld1: .....are you going to take advice from a FOUR year old?

CharmedOne2689: well....nooo....

MrUnderWorld1: *it seems as if the kittens, the cats, Eris and Hera are all watching...and like, they are*

MrUnderWorld1: ......I would hope my oldest daughter would have more SENSE in that head of hers...

CharmedOne2689: *looks at the floor*

MrUnderWorld1: ......what discussion did we have earlier?

MrUnderWorld1: ....*flame gets a little red*....LOOK at me whan I'm speaking to you, Hebe...

CharmedOne2689: *looks up at him, lip trembling*

MrUnderWorld1: ......you wanted to go to the movies, correct?....I respect that....it sounds fun....but...I'm WORRIED about you....we have enemies....do you think I want you to get hurt?.....I would only let you go somewhere if me or your mother were going.....

CharmedOne2689: *Eris and Hera go back to playing with the kittens quietly*

MrUnderWorld1: ......sorry, Hebe...but the answer was NO to that one....it was for your own good....I was NOT going to let you risk your wellbeing over some STUPID movie...

MrUnderWorld1: .....but....did I or did I not offer for you to have Kara over?

MrUnderWorld1: .....this way, you could still have fun ....Kara could have even SLEPT over for all I care ....and what do you do?....you bitch and complain to ME....

CharmedOne2689: Hebe: *sniff*

MrUnderWorld1: ...I offered you something fair in return since I shot down your movie outing.......and you go and be a total BRAT about it ?

MrUnderWorld1: .....and you turn your mother into a little kid ?...just cause you were upset....OVER NOTHING?

MrUnderWorld1: .......seems you've lost out.....and it was all your fault....you'll look back on this mistake of yours and think twice, now won't you?

CharmedOne2689: *slow nod*

MrUnderWorld1: .......now you turn your mother BACK....you understand me?

CharmedOne2689: but....but....

MrUnderWorld1: .....do...you....understand ME?

CharmedOne2689: *sigh*

CharmedOne2689: But......

CharmedOne2689: *flinches*

CharmedOne2689: I....I......I'm not sure how......

CharmedOne2689: Eris: Uh oh, busted, Hebe....

MrUnderWorld1: ......you....will....FIND A WAY.....or you will...NEVER SEE YOUR FRIENDS AGAIN!...

MrUnderWorld1: AM I CLEAR ON THAT?

CharmedOne2689: Hebe: *shaky nod*

MrUnderWorld1: ...now...*straightens up*...get out of my face....and if your mother isn't turned back soon.....you're really gonna be up shit's creek without a paddle, Hebe....get to work...

CharmedOne2689: Hebe: *runs away*

MrUnderWorld1: *strolls over to Eris, towers over her*

MrUnderWorld1: *his shadow looms down on her*

CharmedOne2689: Eris: *looks up at him*

CharmedOne2689: Um.....hi?

MrUnderWorld1: .........hi...

MrUnderWorld1: *reaches down and lifts her off the ground by the scruff of her shirt*....and YOU....you're busted too, you little BRAT....you're a little brat, too ....straighten up, or I'll straighten you out MYSELF......*tosses her back onto her feet*...go to your room.......I'll think about keeping these kittens.....

CharmedOne2689: Hera: *just watches silently like she has the whole time*

CharmedOne2689: Eris: *runs off*

MrUnderWorld1: *sighs*...

CharmedOne2689: Hera: *looks up at Hades*

MrUnderWorld1: *looks down at her*.......*sad expression*.....

CharmedOne2689: What's wrong?

MrUnderWorld1: *flops down onto the floor*

MrUnderWorld1: ....nothing...

CharmedOne2689: *scoots over next to him*

MrUnderWorld1: *looks over at her*......

MrUnderWorld1: ....sorry you had to see that....but it's the father's job to lay down the law....

CharmedOne2689: Yeah.....

CharmedOne2689: because I'm here instead of her.....

MrUnderWorld1: ......well, that's not your fault, now is it?

CharmedOne2689: well...no....

MrUnderWorld1: ..it's that brat of a daughter that had to make things this way...

MrUnderWorld1: so, don't worry about it...we'll have you home shortly....and it'll be as if this never happened...

CharmedOne2689: okay.......

MrUnderWorld1: .......*halfhearted smile*

CharmedOne2689: *yawn*

MrUnderWorld1: *puts his arm around her, leans her against his side*

CharmedOne2689: *nudges up against him*

MrUnderWorld1: ......*deep sigh*

CharmedOne2689: *closes her eyes*

MrUnderWorld1: ....tired, kid?

CharmedOne2689: mmmhmmm

MrUnderWorld1: ....sure...

CharmedOne2689: is that why you married me?

MrUnderWorld1: .....no, not entirely...but, yes, you were the only person to be nice to me....and that changed alot of things about me...

CharmedOne2689: I can tell.....

MrUnderWorld1: ......*smile*....you can tell?

MrUnderWorld1: ......oh....

MrUnderWorld1: well, things where ALOT different back then....

MrUnderWorld1: ...and they were that way for a LONG long time....

MrUnderWorld1: but, change is good.....as you can see...

CharmedOne2689: but now you're nothing like your old self....

MrUnderWorld1: ......nothing like him?...not even a little bit?

CharmedOne2689: well, I guess you still look like him....

CharmedOne2689: and you got really mad at your kids.....

CharmedOne2689: but no, you aren't much like him at all

MrUnderWorld1: .....hmm, well, I can't be mean to you....I just can't...you're Hera....*chuckle*....but, to other people, sometimes they might not even notice the new me at all.....

CharmedOne2689: well, I noticed, if that makes you feel better

MrUnderWorld1: ...hey, listen...can we, uh, move to the throne?....my back isn't too good nowadays...*flinch*

MrUnderWorld1: no, no, not your fault...I'm just gettin' old, that's all...*chuckle*....*gets to his feet, straightens up, his back cracks*...ow, that hurt....

CharmedOne2689: Why don't we just go to bed?

MrUnderWorld1: ...you tired?

CharmedOne2689: a little....

MrUnderWorld1: ...*smile*...alright..whatever you wanna do...

MrUnderWorld1: c'mon....*leads her to the master bedroom*

CharmedOne2689: *follows close behind*

MrUnderWorld1: *every little kitten scampers along, following, the two cats as well*

MrUnderWorld1: *stops at the bedroom door*...g'head in....

CharmedOne2689: *goes in the room*

MrUnderWorld1: ....*watches all seven kittens trot along behind her*...

MrUnderWorld1: ...are all these kittens comin' up in the bed, too?

CharmedOne2689: I guess so....

MrUnderWorld1: ...*rolls eyes*...oh gods...

MrUnderWorld1: *all the kittens mew at the end of the bed since they're still too young to jump*

CharmedOne2689: *helps each one up onto the bed*

MrUnderWorld1: *grim and demon jump up onto the bed*

MrUnderWorld1: *climbs up onto the bed, leans against the head board, watches as kittens run around clumsily on the bed*...

MrUnderWorld1: ...this is SO not happening every night....

CharmedOne2689: *climbs up on the bed also*

CharmedOne2689: *gets under the covers*

MrUnderWorld1: *doesn't get under the covers, just sits there*

CharmedOne2689: *pets one of the kittens that found its way to her lap*

MrUnderWorld1: *after awhile, the kittens gather at the foot of the bed, they all huddle together, along with their parents, and start to fall asleep*

CharmedOne2689: *exhausted*

MrUnderWorld1: *picks up the kitten that's fast asleep in her lap*...*holds it in his palm, since it fits perfectly in his huge hand*.......

CharmedOne2689: *tired smile*

CharmedOne2689: they're cute

MrUnderWorld1: ..yea....cute little thing.....*leans over to the end of the bed, lays it amongst it's siblings*...*leans back against the head board*....go to sleep, Hera...

CharmedOne2689: *sigh*

CharmedOne2689: I don't want to......

MrUnderWorld1: .......why?

MrUnderWorld1: you look exhausted..

CharmedOne2689: I don't know

CharmedOne2689: I just don't want to.....

MrUnderWorld1: ...well, you need a reason...

CharmedOne2689: why?

MrUnderWorld1: ....just because....

CharmedOne2689: oh....

MrUnderWorld1: ....*smile*

CharmedOne2689: because I'd rather stay up.....since I won't be here long....

MrUnderWorld1: ......aw, don't think of it that way....

CharmedOne2689: why?

MrUnderWorld1: think of it as...uh.....a nice ending to a good day...besides...you'd come and visit, right?

CharmedOne2689: I said I would....

MrUnderWorld1: .....exactly...

CharmedOne2689: but I can't, though

MrUnderWorld1: you'll have other opportunities to hang out with the terrible Lord of the Dead.....

CharmedOne2689: but how?

MrUnderWorld1: ....Hades always finds a way..

CharmedOne2689: oh

CharmedOne2689: alright, then

MrUnderWorld1: .....*gentle smile*

CharmedOne2689: *moves over closer to him*

MrUnderWorld1: *pulls the covers up on her more*..

CharmedOne2689: *slight smile*

MrUnderWorld1: ...comfortable?

CharmedOne2689: *yawn*

CharmedOne2689: mmhmm

MrUnderWorld1: .....that's good....now go to sleep...

CharmedOne2689: goodnight, Hades.....

MrUnderWorld1: ...goodnight, hera...

CharmedOne2689: *closes her eyes*

MrUnderWorld1: *watches her fall asleep*

CharmedOne2689: *sleeps*

MrUnderWorld1: *lays down a little, leans his head on hers as she does*

CharmedOne2689: NEXT MORNING, PEOPLE

MrUnderWorld1: *fast asleep, snoring*

CharmedOne2689: *wakes up, confused until she remembers what happened*

CharmedOne2689: *looks at Hades*

CharmedOne2689: *gets out of bed*

CharmedOne2689: *wanders to the throne room, finds the memory scroll*

CharmedOne2689: *climbs into the throne and looks through the memory scroll*

MrUnderWorld1: Thanatos:....*stirs, whimpers* Hades: *hears him*..huh?...wha?

MrUnderWorld1: *wakes up*...*looks over to see Hera not there*....oh, she's up.....*goes over and picks Thanatos up*...hungry?...*walks out into the hall, ALL the kittens follow as he does*...*looks behind himself at the parade of kittens*.....oh, christ...

MrUnderWorld1: good morning, Hera....*passes her in the throne as he goes off into the kitchen and prepares a bottle for Thanatos*

CharmedOne2689: *glances up* Good morning....

MrUnderWorld1: *a trail of kittens follow Hades*

MrUnderWorld1: *all of the mewing*

CharmedOne2689: *chuckles at the sight of the kittens behind him*

MrUnderWorld1: *grim and demon sit with hera, grim lays on the right arm of the throne, demon on the left*

MrUnderWorld1: *feeds thanatos his bottle*

CharmedOne2689: *puts the scroll down and pets the cats*

CharmedOne2689: *wanders into the kitchen*

MrUnderWorld1: *rocks thanatos for a moment until a black playpen pops up*....*places him inside with toys to occupy him*.....

MrUnderWorld1: ....alright....time for breakfast...what do you want for breakfast?

CharmedOne2689: Anything....

MrUnderWorld1: .....*hollers* HEBE ?...ERIS ? ...GET YOUR ASSES OUT HERE......

CharmedOne2689: *Hebe and Eris come and sit in their spots*

MrUnderWorld1: ....Hebe?...Eris?...any special requests for breakfast?

MrUnderWorld1: ....oh, and Hebe....figure something out yet?

CharmedOne2689: Hebe: Well......no....

MrUnderWorld1: ......why not?

MrUnderWorld1: .....hmm?

CharmedOne2689: I went to bed and slept....

MrUnderWorld1: ..why did you do that?

CharmedOne2689: Because I was tired....

MrUnderWorld1: ...did I not tell you I wanted your mother turned back....SOON....I didn't mean THREE DAYS FROM NOW....

CharmedOne2689: Hebe: Well....I'll do it today.....

MrUnderWorld1: *slams his hand down on the table and gets in her face, making Hebe lean back a little*....you WILL turn her back today....or your life from now on will actually BE a living hell.....you don't want to get me any more upset with you than I already am...*grabs her under the chin and pulls her forward*...get it done, Hebe...*pulls away*....

CharmedOne2689: Hebe: *shocked*

CharmedOne2689: *falls silent*

MrUnderWorld1: *strolls over to hera, looks down at her*...go and sit down...*gentle smile*...

CharmedOne2689: *goes and sits at the table quietly*

MrUnderWorld1: *cooks eggs and bacon for everyone, yay *

CharmedOne2689: Eris, Hey, how come you like her better, Dad? *points at Hera*

MrUnderWorld1: *serves each of them, then sits where he usually does with a cup of coffee, doesn't quite feel like eating today...feels miserable*

MrUnderWorld1: ....I don't like her better....I'm just a little angry with you two....

CharmedOne2689: Eris: Oh......

MrUnderWorld1: .....going off and acting like complete jackasses isn't what I expect from MY daughters, Eris...

CharmedOne2689: hebe: *stares at her plate, picks at her food*

CharmedOne2689: Eris: I didn't do it....

MrUnderWorld1: .....you're just as guilty as hebe, so shuddup...

CharmedOne2689: *everyone eats silently*

MrUnderWorld1: ......*waits until everyone is finished*....everyone done?

CharmedOne2689: Eris: Yeah

CharmedOne2689: Hera: Yes....

CharmedOne2689: Hebe: *silence*

CharmedOne2689: Thanatos: *shrieks as he plays in his playpen*

MrUnderWorld1: ....well...since the usual role of mother isn't here right now.....I think the two of us that have taken that away from us should fill in.....*stands*....Hebe, Eris...clean off the table and clean the dishes....give me any shit about it, and I'll make you clean the whole god damn Underworld...

CharmedOne2689: *gets up, starts to help*

MrUnderWorld1: Hera.....do NOT touch any dishes....

CharmedOne2689: *slowly puts her plate back on the table*

MrUnderWorld1: .....Eris, you're annoying me lately, so, I suggest you stay out of my face until this all blows over....as goes for you, Hebe......and when you're done with this, you will go off and find a way to fix your mother...or you'll be in deep.....DEEP...shit.....ok? *fake grin*

CharmedOne2689: Hebe: Mhm

MrUnderWorld1: ...no...not mhm ....am I CLEAR?

CharmedOne2689: Yes

MrUnderWorld1: ..good.....get to work...

MrUnderWorld1: *the playpen and Thanatos vanish to the Throne room*...c'mon, hera...*gives her a gentle expression as he walks out into the throne room*

CharmedOne2689: *glances at hebe and Eris, then follows Hades out to the throne room*

MrUnderWorld1: *hebe and eris are doing what they are told in the kitchen*

MrUnderWorld1: *the kitten parade follows Hades*

MrUnderWorld1: *spins around, looks down at all the kittens who stop and mew at his feet*...what is WITH these cats?

CharmedOne2689: *giggle*

MrUnderWorld1: ...I don't get this...what's their deal?

CharmedOne2689: I don't know.....*picks one up and pets it*

MrUnderWorld1: ....*folds arms, gives all the kittens a dirty look*

MrUnderWorld1: ...anyway...Hera?...how was breakfast?....you like?

CharmedOne2689: Mhm.....it was good....

MrUnderWorld1: ....I'm glad...

CharmedOne2689: thank you for breakfast....

MrUnderWorld1: ....hey, no problem...

MrUnderWorld1: anytime...

MrUnderWorld1: *sigh*...*glances at Thanatos who's still too busy chewing on a toy or what have you, then goes and sits in the throne*

CharmedOne2689: *goes over and looks at Thanatos*

MrUnderWorld1: ...weird lookin' kid, isn't he?

MrUnderWorld1: *half hearted chuckle*

CharmedOne2689: *slight smile* I think he's cute.....

MrUnderWorld1: .....yea...if you say so...

CharmedOne2689: He is!

MrUnderWorld1: ...alright! Fine...like I said, if you say so...

MrUnderWorld1: *pulls up a cigar, the first in awhile, and lights it*

CharmedOne2689: *stare*

MrUnderWorld1: *blows a big puff of smoke towards the ceiling*

CharmedOne2689: *sigh*

MrUnderWorld1: ...*looks down at her*...what's wro-oh....*points to the cigar with a raised eyebrow*

CharmedOne2689: *folds her arms*

MrUnderWorld1: *lifts both eyebrows*....what?

CharmedOne2689: that's nasty.....

MrUnderWorld1: ..nasty?

MrUnderWorld1: ....it's just a cigar....

MrUnderWorld1: I'm just havin' one...

CharmedOne2689: if you say so.....

CharmedOne2689: *sits on the floor with the kittens again*

MrUnderWorld1: .....just one, ok? I swear on it...

CharmedOne2689: *Hebe and Eris complain in the kitchen*

MrUnderWorld1: I CAN HEAR YOU!!! SHUT YOUR MOUTHS!!!

CharmedOne2689: Hera: *flinch*

MrUnderWorld1: .....damn kids...

MrUnderWorld1: ...*mumbling to himself*...pissin' me the f*ck off, god damn it, son of a...

CharmedOne2689: *wide eyed stare*

MrUnderWorld1: ....sorry...heh...

MrUnderWorld1: Just gettin' a little annoyed, that's all...

CharmedOne2689: I can tell......gods....

MrUnderWorld1: ....*chuckle*...

MrUnderWorld1: *sees Hebe and Eris headin' for their rooms*...HEY! *they stop dead and stare at him with a pale expression*.....you finished EVERYTHING out there?

CharmedOne2689: Eris: Yeah!

MrUnderWorld1: ......if I go out there and there's ONE dirty dish...you're gonna be sorry....

MrUnderWorld1: ...and that floor?...I think it needs to be scrubbed....

MrUnderWorld1: .....since MOTHER isn't here to do this, I think you guys hafta....OR you go and find a way to turn her back....like, NOOOOOW!!

CharmedOne2689: Eris: I wanna go play!

MrUnderWorld1: .........*jumps to his feet, bursts into flames, towers over the two of them* YOU'LL GO AND PLAY WHEN MOTHER COMES HOME!! YOU GOT ME!?

CharmedOne2689: Eris: *nod*

MrUnderWorld1: YOU AND YOUR LITTLE SNEAK OF AN OLDER SISTER WILL GO AND FINISH WHAT I TELL YOU TO DO...which is the wash, and the floors, and whatever else I think up....AND THEN YOU WILL FIND A WAY TO TURN HER BACK!!!

MrUnderWorld1: .....*turns blue, but flame is still red*....BEAT IT!

CharmedOne2689: *they run off*

CharmedOne2689: *Hera and Thanatos stare at him*

MrUnderWorld1: ...*deep breaths*

MrUnderWorld1: *flops back into the throne*

MrUnderWorld1: *deep sigh*

CharmedOne2689: Hera: ...................

MrUnderWorld1: *leans head back and closes eyes*

CharmedOne2689: *gets up off the floor*

CharmedOne2689: *goes and climbs into his lap*

MrUnderWorld1: *jumps*...oh....hey..

MrUnderWorld1: *seems out of it and miserable today*

CharmedOne2689: *rests her head on his chest*

MrUnderWorld1: *leans his chin on top of her head*

CharmedOne2689: You're having a bad day?

MrUnderWorld1: ..*strokes her arm with his free hand as he takes a puff on his cigar with the other*

MrUnderWorld1: ....I guess...

CharmedOne2689: I'm sorry.....

MrUnderWorld1: ....sorry for what?

CharmedOne2689: that you're having a bad day

MrUnderWorld1: ...ah, you don't hafta be sorry for anything....*gentle smile*

CharmedOne2689: But I am anyway.....

MrUnderWorld1: .....thanks kid...

CharmedOne2689: *slight smile*

MrUnderWorld1: ....*deep sigh, leans his chin on her head gently again*

CharmedOne2689: .....I feel bad for Hebe and Eris.....

MrUnderWorld1: ...you do, huh?

MrUnderWorld1: ...I don't..

CharmedOne2689: why?

CharmedOne2689: *sigh*

MrUnderWorld1: ....oh well...

MrUnderWorld1: I'm a mean person, whaddya want?

CharmedOne2689: you aren't mean....

MrUnderWorld1: ....Hebe and Eris think so...

MrUnderWorld1: ...*sigh*...I would NEVER yell at them or anything...I think that's why they believe they can get away with things....but, I'm definetely proving them wrong...

MrUnderWorld1: ...little brats...

MrUnderWorld1: *another deep sigh*...

CharmedOne2689: but you have reason to yell at them....because you're upset.....

MrUnderWorld1: ....I guess?

MrUnderWorld1: *rubs temple with his one hand*

MrUnderWorld1: ...oy vey..

CharmedOne2689: Maybe you shouldn't yell anymore

MrUnderWorld1: .....maybe...*pulls up ANOTHER cigar, goes to light it*

CharmedOne2689: Don't!
