A day out

Since we've got the Sun Run tomorrow, my mom and I decided to have Mother's Day today. We went shopping and had lunch and bought clothes bla bla bla. But what's weird is that we bought clothes for me, but it's Mother's Day, I should be buying stuff for mommy. But apparently it makes my mom happy to dress me up, so I got a sweatshirt and dress, all sooooo cheap and pretty!!

Here's a little exert of my story, lets see if you can guess which one:

72 Darkness

From the darkness comes the words “Hermes” fading in and then out.

73 Inside Olympian’s palace Gardens Day

Zeus walks in and looks down the mountain when Apollo, about 15, comes in dragging Hermes, about 7 or 8, by the wrist up to Zeus and hurling him forward.

ZEUS
Apollo, back from the south, and I see you brought your brother. I thought I hid him well enough.

APOLLO
Not from me, father, I caught his mother, that weird nymph and asked her to tell me where he was. (To Hermes) See you try stealing my sacred cattle!

HERMES
(Sticking out his tongue at Apollo)
They were just stupid cows, like you really care.

ZEUS
Hermes, what is this?

HERMES
Hello father, it’s nice to see you again, though you don’t often visit mother and I much any more. (To Apollo) She, a very wonderful and not at all weird nymph, (To Zeus) Is getting worried about you.

ZEUS
Well, reassure her that there is nothing to be worried about. But what is the meaning of this? Sacred cattle are Apollo’s animals.
HERMES
And so I agree, I don’t understand what I’ve done wrong.

APOLLO
You stole my cattle, that’s what.

HERMES
No I didn’t!

ZEUS
Hermes, you and I both know you are a terrific liar, but did you steal his cattle?

HERMES
Yes, but it was meant to be a joke in the mist of all this seriousness, I meant no offence.

APOLLO
Punish him, father!

ZEUS
I will not punish him, I will simply ask him to return the cattle, and for him to remain on Olympus, we’ll need every hand on board of the next attack.

HERMES
You mean as an Olympian??

ZEUS
Yes, as an Olympian, the god of messengers and lets be honest, thieves.

APOLLO
Father!!

ZEUS
What else am I supposed to do? Perhaps he can cause less trouble with all of us keeping an eye on him.

Zeus laughs and walks back into the palace. Apollo stares murderously at Hermes.

HERMES
What? I returned your cattle!

APOLLO
Fine, but don’t expect me to treat you nicely just because of it.

HERMES
No, but perhaps you can treat me nicely in exchange for a gift.
(Extended hand and a lyre appeared)
I invented it when I was one day old, it’s called a lyre.
(Handing it to Apollo) A gift, to the god of music, in exchange for truce.

APOLLO
(Taking the lyre and strumming it and then observing it)
It does have a nice sound. Wonderful tuning and feel…
(Looking up) Fine, this in exchange for truce.

Hermes smiles and Apollo still looks at him murderously, then walks in with Hermes fast on his heel.
