One morning, beautiful Aphrodite was standing outside, about to perform a magical cleansing ritual for nature. To help her, Athena and Zeus transformed into two dogs under the names Cristal and Terbian. Cristal was a Golden Retriever and Terbian was a sleek-haired German Shepard.

They took clouds and changed them into a floating mass of curtains. Cristal hauled herself up and Terbian sprouted baby blue wings to fly up onto the curtains. He almost missed, and he would have, if not for brave and heroic Cristal, who pulled him to safety (Terbian wasn't the best at flying, and Cristal couldn't understand why he kept trying). The cloud was soft, as soft as the downy feathers on a baby duckling.

The three of them called on nature, and it gratuitously came to their aid. Aphrodite called on the Earth, and Cristal and Terbian called on the air and stars. This was why they had to be floating. They also had to be animals because Aphrodite could be the only human there. Anyone else had to be a creature of nature, or the spell wouldn't work.

All of a sudden, all of the birds stopped chirping, and the sky turned dark, as dark as Zeus’ stormy gray eyes. A figure stepped into the clearing where Aphrodite stood, and Cristal and Terbian shrank back into the mass of curtains. The person was… Greek Michael Jackson!

Hermes and Apollo had thought it would be amusing to cause him to have hallucinations. GMJ (Greek Michael Jackson) thought that Aphrodite had tried to steal his moon walk and claim it as her own. This made him livid.

He bolted to Aphrodite and grabbed her by the throat, apparently trying to strangle her. He drew a sparkling sword from a golden sheath at his side.

Cristal and Terbian realized with alarm that the blade was made of tristonite crystal. This was an extremely rare substance, and it’s exceedingly painful when it comes into contact with a god.

Aphrodite was terrified. She had no idea what to do, so she flung her arms up in the air and prayed to Zeus and Athena to protect her, as she forgot that they were right above her. They filled her mind with a single thought, and something strange misted over her eyes.

GMJ looked at her in confusion, and then with a sense of terror, he realized that the look in her eyes was one that a country bumpkin would wear. As he stared at her, her clothes morphed into an outfit that a redneck would wear: torn, cut-off jean shorts, a Bass Pro Shop t-shirt that was spattered with mud.

He cried out and fell backward onto the ground. He frantically tried to crawl away, but one of Athena’s spells kept him from going more than five feet away from Aphrodite.

Aphrodite bent down and picked a flawless pink rose from a bush that was in close proximity to her. She waved her hand over the top of it and pink sparkles emitted from her hand. As they showered down around the rose, it transformed into a pink microphone, covered in rhinestones. She started scream-singing a musical scale at the top of her voice. Even though she was at an incredibly high decibel, each note was perfect. As crisp and clear as a glacier, and at the same time, as soft and soothing as an angel.

All of a sudden, she stopped singing scales and looked ready to perform something. Something that GMJ was sure he wasn't going to like. A beautifully decorated stage rose under Aphrodite’s feet, and flowers twined up around her, so she had a stunning canopy above her. Dozens of colorful doves gathered above her head to sing back-up.

Aphrodite gave GMJ a bumpkin look and started belting out “Red Solo Cup”. “Red Solo Cup! I fill you up! Let’s have a party!!! Let’s have a party!!!”

Brown leather, high-heeled cowgirl boots appeared on her feet. She started romping up and down and the ground around GMJ began to tremble.

He covered his ears and tried to block out the racket of Aphrodite and the songbirds. He //hated// country music, absolutely couldn't //stand// it. “Ahhhhh!!!” he yelled. Then all of a sudden, he exploded.
