Authors Note: I ended up watching Hercules last night… and by gods, I swear Hades will kill me.

Persephone never so much bat an eyelash to whatever humans have conjured up. Millennia's ago they cower beneath their feet. Praying, asking for guidance and blessings but now most of the mortals have gone and dismissed the notion of gods and goddesses instead turned to what they call Science. She has the suspect of the Muses' were the one to blame for this, but the other gods did not mind.

There were still a plenty few who served and worshipped them loyally. Olympus never changed and the younger gods have much fun fooling the mortals, breaking their science then watching their confused and sometimes frightened faces. To them it was amusing as ever.

Persephone though has her own fun too. She would come to making new and intriguing creatures of nature that just sends the mortals wild with curiosity and anticipation of giving the new species, as they call it, a name. Not too long ago, she learned how to send flowers to the upper world through the River Styx, letting their new seeds find soil to grow. Humans would find those seeds growing with such animosity and they are ever so intrigued. Hades would often question her for doing so but she would only answer in winks and kisses.

She did not really mind that most of the mortals decided to ravish them as myths and legends. Hades was finding enjoyment when the newer era of mortals dies and meets him. He hides it but Persephone would often see him smile when they cower beneath him ever so dramatically than before.

Word of Hermes would drift through that the mortals might still be worshipping them but through song and movies and other types of media. She does not pay attention to the growing books about them that are labeled fantasy or mythology; she knew it would be the same song and dance.

Truth be told, it was all old news. For most written material, Zeus is ever the merciful and all-powerful. Hades was the evil and ruthless monster and Poseidon, is often nowhere to be found in these common literature.

She would cringe at the thought of how they portrayed Hades. She hated the fact that she once thought of her husband in such a way humans did. No one can blame her though, being swiftly captured from her home and to the land of the undead, rolling her eyes in a defeated outlook. She dismisses those written or made that have them as the characters.

This continued for a decade or so but then a name tingled in her ear, when a man called Walt Disney caught her attention. She does not know why but Persephone completely drawn into this mortal man. As if, she felt the blessing of all the muses onto him. She has to see what this mortal can do.

"Thank you, Hermes" Persephone smiled, handing the god a 3 pieces of gold and jewels for his troubles. Hermes handed her two strips of glossy paper. She examined them with a smile.

"If Milady would not mind me asking. What has gotten you in a sudden interest to see this mortal animatic?" He asked peeking out of her expression.

Persephone narrowed her eyes and hid the strips of paper as if it was a part of her own body.

"I need not tell you" she blinked a few "what are these called again?"

Hermes shrugged. "Tickets. Mortals call them tickets."

Persephone nodded and bit the messenger away. "Tickets…" she murmured with an excited smile. Swiftly Seph spun on her heels, facing the hallway that lead to her husband's library and ran.

Hades is in his library, Thanatos walking around, handing out scrolls after scrolls after scrolls to Hades' table. The king of the underworld felt a pang of pain between his eyes. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. Thanatos was about to place the last of the scrolls when he sensed his master's discomfort. "Milord, are you unwell?"

Hades waved him off. "I am well. Are these all of them?"

Thanatos nodded. "Yes Milord"

Hades proceeded with his work. Opening scrolls, reading a few then proceeded to write. The shift of parchment and soft clap wood echoed the vast archive. The rhythm continued for a few moments. Beating in steady paces. When one scroll was done, he would hand them to Thanatos who then goes back to shelf them in their places.

"Husband!"

A patter of shoes against marble alerted both men. It grew louder when Seph closed her distance. Hades stood from his seat, concern swelled in him. Persephone running towards him was a sight he was not used to. He ran towards to meet her. Persephone crashed in his arms, uneasy and shaking

"Wife! What is wrong? " Hades asked almost too forcefully, he pulled her away. His eyes scanning every part of Persephone in frantic search for something. Persephone steadied herself, and slowly she stifled laughter. "Husband please calm yourself!"

Seeing her laugh, Hades sighed. The pulse between his eyes came back. "Persephone dear, why do you desire to test me."

"No, I do not desire. Husband dear" Persephone waved her hands dismissively. "Look. Hermes bought me what I asked" she waved the two tickets in front of her confused husband.

"Tickets… what for?" Hades took them from her fingers and examined the contents written within.

"Walt Disney's Hercules"

Hades' face fell at that sound. He looked at his wife in a mix of disbelief and questioning. She replied with a smile. "Please beloved! This shall be the last of it! I vow it"

"My dear … that is what you have said the last time we travelled to watch …" Hades, sighed somewhat irritated; his tone laced of forlorn to that Persephone frowned.

"Oh please… Phantom of the Opera was marvelous mortal play and you know it well"

"To the mortal's credit. Yes. Yes, It was, but I wish this not to be one of those plays that enchant you with a song..."Hades groaned.

Persephone arched an eyebrow, cocked her hips to a side, and then crossed her arms over her chest. Thanatos and Hades flinched; they knew the dreaded stand of their queen. "Did you just suggest to me that I cannot sing?"

Hades' breath caught in his throat. He held up his hands in front of him "No, of course not …" Hades cleared

"Your voice rivals the sweetest of the songbirds…"He glanced at Thanatos who gave him an encouraging nod. Good, you are good. It is safe to proceed

"It is just you are singing the same song for so much… it is tiring to listen to"

Persephone narrowed her eyes, cocked her head upward and gave an inaudible "humph!" spinning on her heels turning her back against her husband.

Taken aback Hades glared at Thanatos as if blaming him for causing this sudden pitfall. Thanatos stiffened and almost begged.

"And yet you stay here in this cooped up under land listening to the same cries, pleads and screams of damned souls" Persephone stubbornly pointed out.

Hades defeated exhaled his frustration. He can never say no to his beloved. He approached her and held her wrist, gently pulling her to face him. Once they saw eye to eye, Hades placed his hand on her cheek and he leaned and kisses her forehead. "Wife…" he started, brushing a strand of hair then tucking it behind her hear ear.

"… You know well enough that I cannot say no to you"

Persephone hummed, she had him wrapped around her fingertips once again. "So you would accompany me?"

"Do I have a choice?"

"Nope!" She laughed, jumping into his arms. Laughing with her husband. Hades turned to Thanatos and commanded him to prepare the chariot. Thanatos bowed and flew to prepare the chariot. While in the library, Hades cannot face his wife. "The fates have doomed me," he murmured comically.

"Yes, they did" Persephone giggled.

They have ridden the chariot to exit the portal out of the underworld, as they busted out of the earth. Dark smoke engulfed the couple and the chariot.

"Hades?!" Persephone called suddenly unnerved. She searched for her husband but did not see him. She felt his presence all around her. "Where-" The smoke embraced her whole her clothes dissolved.

"Keep still, Love"

Her clothing reformed, a snow light chiffon blouse replaced her white robe with a golden ribbon trimmed around her ribs. Her dressy skirt replaced with a rather pastel blue-feathered skirt. Gold sandals hugged around her ankles with its laces formed a rather crafty design of nature's vines. On her wrist were bracelets made of gold. Glinting against the light it happens to touch. Her long dark blonde hair unfurled down her back.

Hades materialized in front of her, wearing some human outfit that is the complete opposite of hers. Dark jeans, a simple shirt and a black leather jacket, buckled boots that looked heavier than stones. His hair that was always tied into a neat comb was now let down, framing his strong face. The shirt and jacket further emphasized his godlike physique. The chariot was gone and was replaced by a magnificent vehicle standing in two wheels that whirred like an earthquake.

His eyes were closed the whole process and when he opened them, he saw her wife staring at him. Mouth agape, red in the face and ultimately awe-struck. He chuckled and opened his arms "I take it that you are in favor of this fashion?"

"Oh, Hades. Must you tease me so?" She breathed, barely containing the growing excitement.

Hades gave a low chuckled deep from his throat. Turning to the vehicle, positioning himself, giving the engine a few roars that made Persephone hold her breath. He offered a hand for her to hold. "We must be gone if you want to still watch that film…"

Snapping back to reality Seph perked "oh, that's right, but first…" She kneeled down the ground and waved her fingers. Hades watched curious. Popping out the fresh grass is a cross and twine of flowers. She plucked it up with both hands.

"… To ward off potential predators. " Hades examined the flowers and recognized it as another flower crown. He chuckled and bent forward. Persephone approached and placed it neatly upon his head. The vines securing themselves in place. She traced his jaw and kissed him. "Much better, do you not think so?"

Hades gave a low chuckle and guided his wife to the vehicle. "Ride it as you would a horse, my dear." Persephone nodded and straddled on the seat behind her husband. He helped her arms and hands wrap around his own waist. "Do not let go, love. This vehicle is faster than a horse…"

Then they are off. Hades roared the engine more, gaining speed with the aid of his magic. They arrived shortly at the cinema. As they parked, Hades guided his wife down their inanimate steed. Curious glances were thrown about them. Neither of them mined.

The theatre was … entirely different from what is used to be. Persephone would like to know more now about their … changes. Placing those thoughts second as the film started. Disney has some imagination to him than she thought. He made Olympus much grander and colorful, as it would be. She saw personifications of her families.

The spring goddess was very amused on how they portrayed Hera; so kind, caring, and that Zeus was more… friendly and less irritating. Hades groaned when he saw himself. Persephone had to cover her mouth to stop the growing laughter. He looked silly and sinister, a classic portrait of a villain. "I did not know you had fire for hair" she teased him in a whisper. To which Hades on rolled his eyes too. Seeing this reaction made his wife giggle more.

"Did you really plot against Zeus?" she whispered to him, eyes not leaving the screen.

"I assure you my dear; I would not have the time to…" Hades replied watching her more than the film.

"Flirting with the Fates? Really?" She murmured in disbelief

"Ive only done that once and that is to know when would be the right time to visit you without angering your mother" He whispered back. Persephone looked at him shocked.

"I was teasing, dearest. I did no such thing… "

The film went on about, the story made the audience captivated and awed. Except for two who are in a constant twenty-question game.

"My dear … please. None of these happened …" He placed his hand gently on his wife's cheek, making her face him. "… Do me the kindness and silently watch the movie?"

She did what she was told until they have met. Meg. Hades had his head resting on his fist. Bored out of his mind, when he felt her wife flinch he cut her off. "No… I have not taken a soul through that method, dearest."

The muses have gone mad. Hades groaned under his breath. He peeked through his fingers to see his wife enjoying herself so profoundly. Another song entered and to his dismay, he saw his wife's eye glint.

"In all honesty the muses have sung a similar song to me when I have still denied my emotions to you," Persephone admitted, her eyes still struck to the screen. Hades arched an eyebrow. He was not convinced but a string in his heart was plucked knowing that he made such an impact to her.

She gasped with the crowd when the woman's thread was cut. Her eyes watered at that scene of that downfall. She cheered amongst mortals in silence when Hades was defeated. Earning a look from her husband. Persephone laughed apologetically.

The movie ended with a sigh of happiness from the crowd. Persephone hummed the tune of Meg's song, twirling around in her chiffon clothes. Hades followed behind her. Keeping a close watchful eye, while admiring her as she danced.

"If there's a prize of rotten judgement…" she started

Hades chuckled breathlessly; he was doomed from the start.

"I guess I've already won that" Seph swayed her hips, glancing at her husband with a playfully tone "No, man is worth the aggravation …"

"Seph, please you vowed" Hades sighed smiling defeated and affiliated.

"That's ancient history been there, done that!-Hades, my sweet, sing with me!" Persephone took hold of his hands and urged him. Hades cocked his head to one side and apologetically smiled. "I rather not my dear wife…"

"Please my dearest!" Persephone pleaded.

"Oh my god what a geek"

Persephone's attention perked and not in a good way. Hades turned to see a group of prideful mortals watching them. Smug grins on their faces that irritated Hades to an extent, his face fell into an angered stare.

"Excuse me?" Persephone reacted. Anger swelling up. How dare that mortal bark such insolence to them?

"Wife… let's not indulge-shit" Hades was not permitted to speak. His wife went from a sweet little flower into a fury of all chaos in one fell gesture. He had to wrap his arms around her just to keep her from using her godlike powers. Persephone kept at it, barking furiously at the group. Kicking and growling

"SAY THAT TO MY FACE MORTAL, I'LL HAVE YOUR ENTIRE LINE DOWN THE PITS OF HELL! COME AT ME YOU INSECT! I WILL HAVE THE CRUELEST PUNISHERS TURN YOUR WHOLE AFTERLIFE IN ETERNAL FLAMES. I WILL MAKE SURE ZEUS CAN'T EVEN SAVE YOU!"

"Wife! Be still! Calm yourself now!" Hades grunted, taking every accidental blow from his wife's rage kicks. "Calm down! Seph please!"

No use talking to his wife now. He turned to the frightened mortals. "You best be off, I cannot hold my wife for much longer!"

"WHATS THE MATTER YOU PATHETIC WENCH! DARE YOU ANGER THE GODDESS OF- MMRPFF!"

Hades covered her mouth to Persephone's irritation she shrieked when he tossed her over his shoulder. Bound by a force that prevented her from moving or speaking but it did not, however, made her silent. She proceeded to make muffled anger.

The road back was silent. Persephone seated in front of Hades, his strong muscular arms caging her from both sides. "I would have dragged her soul off her mortal body… I could have placed her in Tartarus"

"Persephone that is not the purpose of Tartarus" Hades sighed, disappointed. Persephone silenced. Hades did not mean offence. He added another statement to which he hoped would make her reply.

"… With this spectacle you pulled. You could rival Hades in that Walt Disney film"

Persephone giggled, "Yes, I could have."
