Ped strode into Cupid's room, knowing he wouldn't be there. "Ugh! I can't believe this mess!" She said as her eyes scanned the room. She moved to the pile of sheets at the foot of the bed. "Well this is beyond repair... so I better find new ones."
She placed the sheets in the hamper and moved to his closet. There she found a new set of sheets... and some interesting things. Ped whistled. "OhMyAres! I never would have thought the god of love for a..."
Her revelery is interupted by a voice... the voice of the man who stays here. "You never would have figured me for a what Ped?"
Ped spun around quickly, closing the closet behind her. "By the 20 realms!" She stared accusingly at Cupid. "You did that on purpose didn't you?"
Cupid moved to stand near her. "Of course. So what am I?"
Ped smiled, a small secretive smile. "You're not gonna get the word from me, my Lord Cupid. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some chores to do in here." She brushes past Cupid, with the sheets for his bed in her arms.
He grabs her arm and spins her toward him. "You really don't need to do that Ped. I never am able to keep them on the bed anyway."
"Oh really?" Ped lifts her eyebrow at this. "Well it doesn't matter. The air here is very dusty, and your bed would stay cleaner with sheets on it... so I'm putting sheets back on it."
"Very logical."
"You'll find Cupid, that I am just brimming with logical explanations for my actions." Ped says as she begins to make his bed.
Her reply intrigues the God of Love. "Even your greediness?" He teases her.
"Especially that." Ped gets the last sheet open, and has the bed made in 30 more seconds. She stands up and looks towards Cupid. "Well that's done... try not to mess it up for the next few minutes."
"Why not?"
"Because Lord Cupid... I still have some more cleaning to do... and I always like to keep the room clean until I leave. So please go somewhere else and amuse yourself."
Cupid gets a funny gleam in his eye. "Why can't I stay here?"
Ped looks him over from head to toe. "No reason. I just don't think you'll find my activities amusing." With that she heads towards the bathroom to clean it up. When she gets there she starts to giggle.
By the time Cupid is standing in the doorway she is rolling on the floor in her mirth. "You know... you should be called Giggles, rather than Ped."
When Ped gets ahold of herself she looks towards Cupid. "You are not the first person to tell me that. You will more than likely not be the last." She grins at Cupid and proceeds to clean the bathroom.
When she is finished she wipes the sweat from her brow and arches her back. Then she turns around... right into Cupid's bare chest. She backs away quickly. "I'm sorry Cupid. I didn't know you were there." She scans the room, and walks out. When Cupid joins her she says. "Well the room is in as good a condition as I can make it, manually. So with this I say, Good day Cupid." She heads towards the door.
Cupid stops her with a hand on her arm. "You don't need to go Ped." His eyes are gleaming down at her.
She sighs and looks up into the God's face. "I do if I want to get out of here before I do something *you* might regret."
"And that would be?" He's provoking her and both know it...
She smiles and leans up to kiss him. She kisses him lightly on the lips. Cupid trys to bring her in closer for a kiss... When she breaks out of his arms. "That would be this." She gestures towards him... and a strange green light flows from her hands towards him. As it reaches Cupid, he is tied up in rope.
He is trying to break free of the rope. "Intriguing. But this can not hold a God for long."
"That's what you think." She taunts him. Then she walks up to him... Ped puts both her hands at the side of his face, "Poor Cupid. He thought his fabulous chest and charming ways would win me into his bed." She kisses him passionately this time, and as she pulls away from him she whispers. "Say 'Hi' to Psyche for me." With that Cupid is gone and Ped moves onto the next room to clean...
