Hansel and Gretel
By Ares’ Chosen (Rebecca)
Around a campfire stood six stunned people.
Xena looked up “Lemme get this straight, they liked the performance we gave of Cinderella!!!”
Apollo looked ill “Yes they did, and they want you to come back next week and perform Hansel and Gretel”
Gabrielle ran upto Apollo and poked her finger at him “If we do this, promise I won’t be a lava rock…o.k!!!”
“Gabrielle, your one of my favourite bards…I promise” Apollo bowed.
A particular blonde bard walked away muttering “If I was your favourite then I wouldn’t of been turned into a lava rock”
“Apollo, who ordered this, I have other things to do rather than performing in a freak show”
If people’s looks could kill then Ares would have been dead by now.
“I…uh…meant that as a compliment!”
Xena looked slyly across to Ares “Of course you did and because of that you will be staring in this play…won’t you” She growled the last two words
The only sound that came from Ares was a gulp.
“I’ll take that as a yes” Apollo said. “This play will only require four people, Xena, Ares, Gabrielle and…Callisto…off we go”
Apollo whisked the four people away to get ready.
“O.K guys heres your costumes you have one hour to learn your lines…good luck…..oh and everyone loved your performance of Cinderella so much, that every God from just about every pantheon will be there so make it good”
Ares groaned “Great, I will never live this down”
Xena = Witch Hansel = Ares Gretel = Gabrielle Father = Callisto
