Hades and Persephone arrived at Zeus's and Hera's giant mansion. They pulled into the driveway and Hades stepped out, rushing over to Persephone's side and offering an arm for support.

Persephone smiled, and gladly accepted, pulling her arm through the crook of his and placing her other hand on top, giving him a kiss to the cheek.

They walked towards the house and before they could ring the doorbell, Hebe threw the door open and flung herself in their arms.

"Uncle Hades! Miss Persephone!"

"Hi, sweetie!" Persephone laughed as she pulled back from the tight hug.

"Hey, guys!" Hera called out from behind her daughter.

"Hello, Hera! It's been too long!" Persephone said, walking over to give the Queen a hug.

"Hi, Bunny," Hades greeted her with a smile, "where's Zeus?"

"ZEUS!" Hera called.

"What is it H- Ah! Hades, Persephone, there you are!" Zeus said, rushing down the steps. He stopped in front of Persephone and pulled her into a quick hug, and a kiss on her knuckles. Hades stepped over to them and pushed Zeus away, placing an arm protectively around Persephone.

"Oh relax, blue boy. I was just saying hello," Zeus said, rolling his eyes. "Hebe, why don't you and Eris go watch a movie upstairs? We should be done in a few hours."

"Sure thing, Poppa!" Hebe said, already rushing up the stairs to claim the remote.

"Well, lets go into the living room. Posie and and Trite are already there." Zeus said.

The kings and queens walked over to the living room, where Poseidon and Amphitrite were waiting.

"SEPHIEEE!!" Poseidon jumped up and ran over to Persephone, pulling her into a bear hug, "It's been too long!"

"Hi, P, it's great to see you too!" She laughed.

Poseidon enjoyed Persephone, and was quite fond of her, (in a friendly way of course) so this wasn't unusual. And Hades didn't mind, he knew Poseidon just liked her as a close friend, and he honestly didn't blame him.

Amphitrite stood up and padded towards Persephone, giving her a hug, while Poseidon went over and hugged Hades.

"Alright, alright, enough of this," Zeus said, "let's get started, eh?"

As everyone settled down, Hera's handmaids came in and brought a cart of 3 different trays with lids on them.

"Since Persie and Hades are new to this, I'll go over the rules," Zeus said, giving a happy look over to the new addition to their best couple game, "there are 3 trays, and in 2 of the trays, there is a bad food item. In one of the trays, however, is a good food item. Our wives will choose the trays they would like, and the husband must eat the item. Hera, Trite, Persie, you may not look inside or smell the food. But you may try and sense what's inside the tray. Whoever finishes their food first will win the round!" Zeus announced, excitedly. "Alright, Persephone, why don't you go first, since you two are new?"

Persephone nodded and stood, stepping over to the trays and examining them. She honestly didn't know which one to choose, but she focused, trying to catch any hint of crumbs or food outside any of the trays. She saw a small, purple droplet of... jam? On one of the trays.

Is that baklava? She thought to herself. Persephone decided to choose that one, picked it up, and walked over to her husband, winking at him with a smile.

Hades got the hint, she was pretty sure she chose right, and he, of course, didn't doubt her.

Hera and Amphitrite decided on who went by playing a game of Rock Paper Scissors, which Hera won, and picked the middle tray while Amphitrite got the one on the left.

They set their trays in front of their husbands and the queens made their way to the couch across from the kings' couch.

"Alright," Zeus started, "ready?"

Hades and Poseidon gave a nod. Hades looked over to Persephone, who looked worried and hopeful. He gave her a reassuring wink and smile. She smiled back, it seemed to comfort her.

"3, 2, 1, GO!"

They all lifted their lids, Zeus made a face looking at what was in his tray. It honestly looked like rotten fish with raw eggs surrounding it, but he wasn't sure. He started to choke it down, anyways, giving Hera the stink eye.

Poseidon made a triumphant "Hah!" And began devouring his cheeseburger. He instantly made a sour face, tasting hot sauce and slices of hot pepper.

Hades opened his lid, which had a plate of purple colored baklava. He smiled, this was going to be easier than he thought.

Persephone cheered Hades on, proud that she choose the best dish.

He devoured the baklava just before Poseidon was almost done with his burger, and before Zeus was halfway done with his dish.

Hades slammed a fist down on the table, "Done!" and jumped up, attacking Persephone in a giant bear hug and peppering her face with kisses.

Persephone couldn't help but giggle and kissed him back.

Zeus chuckled, even though he had lost that round, he was happy his brother was finally happy. It was sweet to see how much his sister in law made him so cheery and confident.

Poseidon spit his burger he was chewing on our, and gulped down a glass of water.

"Settle down everyone!" Zeus said, wiping his mouth and spitting out his food. "Congratulations, Hades and Seph, you guys win this round."

Everyone walked over and congratulated them, Persephone was honestly just hidden in Hades' arms, she wasn't used to so much attention. Hades seemed fine with her huddling close, and he got the message, it was uncomfortable for her.

"Okay, lets move on, yeah?" Hades said while picking Persephone up in his arms.

"The next challenge is outside, lets go." Zeus said, already walking toward the door with an arm around Hera.

Poseidon followed Zeus, looking over to Persephone and Hades, giving them a thumbs up to congratulate them. He held Amphitrite's hand and kissed her temple, trying to reassure her that he was okay with the dish he got, and wasn't upset.

"Hey, are you okay, sweetness?" Hades asked, concerned and still holding Persephone, who's face was buried in his shirt.

"Y-yeah, I just... don't really like being crowded around. It brings back some old memories..." she said, embarrassed.

"Oh, baby..."

Hades tucked a stray strand of newly grown hair behind her ear and kissed her forehead.

"I'm so sorry, I'll make sure it doesn't happen again."

Persephone smiled, "Yeah, knowing you, I know it won't." She laughed, "Thank you, Hades."

"Of course, my love," he kissed her one more time and set her down, then held her hand and gave it a little squeeze. "Ready?"

"Yeah, lets go win this!"
