The next month passed and they were now seeing the
endings of winter and things concerning the wedding were starting
to get a little bit crazy. “I appreciate the offer but I have
someone else doing my wedding dress,” Xena said to Denise and
Marguerite while they were adding some last minute touches to one
of the many dresses that were being made for her. “And who is
this other person?” Denise asked with her hand on her hip and
Xena looked down at her, “you wouldn’t believe me if I
told you,” she said. “Try me,” Denise said and
Xena let out a breath, “Aphrodite, Aphrodite is the one
making my dress,” Xena said and they both looked at her.
“I don’t believe you,” Marguerite said and Denise
nodded, “neither do I,” she said and Xena rolled her
eyes and hunched her shoulders.

 

 

“That’s a problem for you, not me, just
know that the wedding dress is under control,” Xena said and
no sooner did she say that, there was a pink light in the room
followed by pink sparkles and roses. “You called Xena, I was
a little tied up,” Aphrodite said with a grin and Xena smiled
at her. “I wasn’t actually calling for you, I was just
telling Marguerite and Denise that you were doing my wedding
dress,” Xena said as she looked over at their stunned face
then back to Aphrodite. “Of course they didn’t believe
me,” she said, “well that’s understandable, I
don’t usually do such things for mortals but since
you’re Athena’s Chosen, the best she’s had I
might add, she totally loves you,” Aphrodite said, getting
off of track for a moment.

 

 

“Anyway,” she said as she looked down
at her nails more than likely thinking she needed a manicure,
before she looked back up at Xena. “When I heard Xena was
getting married and to your hunk of a son,” Aphrodite said as
she walked over to Marguerite who just looked at her in amazement.
“Do they say anything?” Aphrodite asked Xena who
grinned, “yea but they’re just in shock, they’ve
never been in the presence of a goddess, as beautiful as
yourself,” Xena said and Aphrodite smiled at her.
“That’s why I like you Xena, you always state the
obvious truth,” she said then let out a breath. “Back
to what I was saying, I insisted to Xena that I do her dress, as a
favor of course, I’ll also be doing her hair and whatever
else on the day of the wedding,” Aphrodite said as she ran
her fingers through Xena’s hair and Xena moved out of the
way.
