Cassie slept soundly for the most part except a weird dream about two Chris's on the beach one yelling at the other about... something.She looked at her phone a text from Wally, weird dreams... Cassie texted back.
"Not really... Achilles and Pat are getting married though..."
She thought it was best not to mention the whole dream about Chris. It was then she heard a knock at her door... it was her mom and Diana both holding wedding magazines and had huge grins on their faces. Diana spoke up.
" We wanted your opinion you think Achilles will like blue? Is this wedding cake big enough? Who should we get to cater the event? We need some entertainment... Who's on the guest list?"
Cassie sighed...this was going to be a long day.

*Before hitting the gym, Chris had printed out some pictures of Cupid/Eros from online. He one to the heavy bag and went to work. Slowly moving through basic combinations that Mr. Murdock had taught him, Chris worked over the bag. He stared angrily at the picture as he practiced.*
Stupid Gods. Always meddling. Ares, Hades, Loki, Eros...
*SMACK, SMACK, SMACK*

Jen still planned to stay in the Dorms till she got dragged away by her cousin to the suburbs nearer Christmas Day. He lived in the city near the university so for her it made more sense to stay in her dorm room. The pure hearted goodness of the white picket fence and Betty baking cookies just made her want to gag. She was not in any mood for that right now. Plus she was sure she'd have another lecture from Bruce for no good reason.
She got into her leotard and and decided to go for a morning jog. As much as she wanted to sit and listen to Karen's new romance and how much she was looking forward getting him to meet her parents. Jen really had to bite her tongue when she thought even that was impulsive and too fast.
She headed out the door humming along to her mp3 player.
"It's just another Manic Monday..."

Both Diana and Helena Sandsmark were asking Cassie's opinon on everything.
" Blue is fine. Food should be a traditional Hawaiian buffet and for entertainment a luau.. and no that cake is not big enough, these guys have been waiting centuries to get married this should be huge! The guest list should include all the gods on Olympus, the furies just cause it's a bad idea to leave them out, the fates - again bad idea to leave them out, some of the kids from Monster High, Wally, Billy, Teddy, Danielle, Karen - cause you know she wouldn't forgive us if she wasn't invited, Wallace, Hartley, Chris, and....... Jen."
Cassie still really didn't like Jen but still this wasn't about her: it was about her brother. Plus Jen made Chris happy, she could at least attempt to tolerate her. Cassie started texted everyone.
" Achilles and Pat are getting married one week from now. You're all invited."
Cassie sent the text to everyone. How on earth she had Jen's number? It beat the hell outta her but she was popular, she had alot of people's numbers that she had no idea how she got them.

*Chris's cell phone beeped and he threw one last punch at the heavy bag. He pulled off the small training gloves he had on, ripped the battered Eros picture down, and checked the phone.*
"Achilles and Pat are getting married one week from now. You're all invited."
*Huh. From Cassie. Chris sent a quick return text confirming he would be there. He glanced over at the speed bag and the floor-ceiling bag. His heart just wasn't in it today. Stupid Eros had thrown him all out of sorts.
Chris packed up and headed out. He crossed the cold and snowy campus in a hurry to reach the gym and the showers.*

Cassie looked though a catalog of wedding cakes.. no... no... definetely not..Cassie wondered what cake they would like and what flavor...she would take Achilles and Patroculus to the bakery... no that was a BAD idea. Cassie grabbed her bag leaving her mom and Diana talking and went outside to her mom's car and put her car inside. It seemed while Diana and her mom were in wedding land she had some time. Cassie began wandering the campus wondering if the others left already for break.

Jen felt the vibration from her text and the annoying "HEY! LISTEN!" text alert she'd set. She really needed to get over the Ocarina of time.
She checked and was slightly confused for a second. 'How did Cassie get my number?' She did only just bought her new phone yesterday. She guessed it had to be Chris.
'So Achilles is going to get married..hmm.' She thought. It wasn't really bothering her that much. It really had been only lust, plus she could still check Achilles out all the time, just not touch...which she had to admit would be hard.
She gave a second thought about if she wanted to think about how serious she was getting with Chris but shook it off. If she ran and think too much she might end up going through a building. For her it really was just going with the moment, for the fun of it.

"Are you certain Mysia is invited as well?" Patroclus asked as he watched Achilles give his favorite girl a rubdown while she snarfed down her breakfast.
Achilles looked back over his shoulder with a frown, "Come now. You do not believe for one moment that Cassandra and her mother expect me to leave Mysia all by her lonesome for over a week?"
Patroclus paused in thought and shook his head in the negative. "No, you are right. They obviously expect her to join us."
Achilles nodded as he turned back around and caressed her trunks. "Surely!"
Patroclus watched and found himself smiling, "So ... are we settled on our requests?"
"I believe so." Achilles responded. "We stayed up half the night discussing it. We just need to talk with Cassandra and let her know our wishes."
"Excited?"
Achilles smiled, "Very."

*Chris jogged across campus and waved to Cassie as he went inside the gym. She seemed lost in thought and he wasn't even sure if she saw him.
Chris stripped in the locker room and got a quick shower. He threw on some swimming trunks and then hit the public area for the hot tub. He slipped into the bubbling water and thought about that damn Eros. Should he tell Cassie what happened? Would she even believes him? And how made would she be at Chris? He couldn't stop Eros but would she care about that? Chris knew he would be embarrassed and upset if that happened to him.
...
Plus, would Eros retaliate by telling Cassie about the spell? That would be bad.*

Cassie looked at Chris. Yes he could help... she went into the public gym area where she could've sworn she saw him...
" Uh... Chris..?"
He was in the hot tub... Cassie talked to him with her back turned. Bad thoughts.. bad thoughts,,, bad thoughts.
" Um Chris I was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me pick out a wedding cake for Achilles ... I .. uh... kinda wanted it to be a surprise.."
Sure she knew she would still have to talk to her brother but she wanted to create something enormous and special for Achilles and Pat's special day. Come to think about it Cassie still had to talk to Thetis to let her know about the wedding.

*Chris arched an eyebrow. Why did Cassie have back turned? He had trunks on.*
Um, sure thing. You know...I have trunks on. You don't have to turn your back on me.
*Chris shrugged and climbed out of the water.*
Lemme go get changed.
*He padded off to the boys locker room to dry off and change.*

" Uh.. yeah that'll be good."
Really didn't need to see shirtless, dripping wet, Chris... After all it her that broke up with him. Plus there was Wally. While Cassie waited patiently she gave Achilles a call.... and got his answering machine.
" Hey Achilles, Diana and my mom are doing a lot of the planning for your guys' wedding so you might wanna meet up with them in my dorm room. Also I don't know how to get a hold of your mom but you should tell her about the wedding. Anyways I gotta an errand to run so I guess I'll see you guys later."

"Hartley, you can feel free to call me Margo if you'd like," Wallace's mom reached over to squeeze his shoulder, then gave him a quick hug. "We go all out for the holidays, but we try to keep it a family thing, you know? We make out gifts for one another--"
"--which is why Wallace has so many sweaters," Sonya finished, smirking at Wallace who was wearing one now. "Oh, by the way Wallace, Randy called."
Wallace swallowed, looking at Hartley from the corner of his eye. "Oh...well....we don't need to call him back, do we?"
Sonya shot him a look, and Margo shot her a look, and looks were shot all around until they ran out of eye bullets.
When they got to the car, Wallace opened the door for Hartley to get into the backseat, and Margo and Sonya got into the front seat, settling in for a quick drive to their home. "So Hartley, what classes did you like last semester?" Margo asked as she backed up out of the parking spot.

*A freshly toweled off Chris emerged from the locker room. He fell in step besides Cassie as they left the gym. Eros still weighed heavily on his mind as Cassie lead him off towards...well wherever you go to plan weddings for oily Greek boys.*
Um, hey, Cassie? What kind of guy is Eros? Is he one of those Gods that screw with people?

Cassie blinks and looks at Chris.
" Well he's not a lier if that's what you mean... But he has been known to make two people fall in love outta either fun or revenge. Why? Is something wrong."
Cassie hovered a bit off the ground and looked at Chris.
" Anyways we gotta fly to Hawaii. So would you like me to carry you or are you just going to go in your armor."
