Carissa usually loves summer, and with a whole three months of no school she wouldn't complain, however she wished her dad would get a break. He's been working non-stopped. "Um dad." She slowly tapped his shoulder.

"What?" Hades asked not taking his eyes off the charts he was looking at.

"Can I help you?"

Hades sighs and grins before turning around to her. "Kid, you earned this vacation, why don't you go to the beach or something?"

"I don't wanna go to the beach, I wanna help you so you can get done faster and we can do things together again." Carissa told him.

Hades pats her head. "What did I do deserve you? Alright, you can help." Hades was then hit in the head with a volleyball. "OW!"

Carissa quickly ran to him and felt where the ball hit his head before she growled and grabbed the ball going up to the service to see Herc. "Watch it thunderboy, you might be on vacation but a real God is still on the clock down here!" She threw the ball at Herc as hard as she could before she went back to her dad.

"Thanks kid."

"Are you hurt?"

"I rather it hit me than you, I'm going to take a break, you please for once enjoy your vacation." With that he left.

Carissa sighed, now her dad was going to be behind again and it's as usual it's Hercules's fault. Carissa would do the job for him but she's not the king or a God and her powers are next to nothing compared to her dads. "Ok Herc, you ruined my vacation, I'm going to ruin yours." Carissa then grabbed a scroll and looked through it. "Circe, perfect. I better start making some calls."

Herc was having a good time at the beach, well except for getting hit and told off by his angry cousin and now his friends are fighting. Cassandra finally had enough of Icarus and really told him off. The whole beach felt bad for him as he walked off crying.

"You were a little rough on him don't you think?" Herc asked.

"He's such a freak!" Cassandra shouted.

"But he's still a good friend, don't forget that." Herc reminded her before going over to Icarus.

While Icarus was having a meltdown every guy at the beach turned to see every guy on the beach stare at a gorgeous girl swinging her hips as she walks.

(see video)

"You picked Ick.." Herc couldn't even finish his words.

"But I'm so very beautiful, take a look." Adonis said.

"Oh but I'm so tired on sculpted, chiseled hunks." Circe explained. "Icarus is different, he's such a... well he's such a freak." She giggled. "It's adorable." With that she took him away.

Helen went over to Cassandra and told him she's so sorry she lost her boyfriend.

"He's not my boyfriend, I'm glad he's gone, before they reach her island Circe is going to realize Icarus is nothing but an annoying little freak.

"YOU ANNOYING LITTLE FREAK!" Circe shouted at Icarus when they got to the island.

"I had no idea boat docks were so slippery." Icarus jumped off. "But good news, I don't trip nearly as much on land. I'm sure the stain will come out oh and sorry about the duck."

"Cease him!" Circe ordered.

Icarus then tried to think of cute names that rhymed with her name.

"How about curse me?" She suggested.

"Ok, Circe curse me"

"You got it." With a wave of her staff Icarus turned into a platypus.

Icarus was then thrown into a dungeon surrounded with many animals inside.

"I had to try a different kind of guy." Circe huffed to herself. "What a mistake."

"But I was super freaky. Like it was a good thing."

"Welcome to the suckers club kid." A raccoon said to Icarus.

"Get a load of this one." A hyena laughed. "What a loser!"

"Don't listen to the hyena." An ostrich said kindly. "We're all in the same boat, Circe does this to all her ex-boyfriends.''

"Yeah, she's crazy about you till she finds out you're not some kind of superman then she gets sick of you then zappo, you're in the zoo." The raccoon added.

"So tell me." The ostrich said. "How long did you last? Four or five weeks?"

"Well actually it was more like uh, five minutes." Icarus admitted.

"Five minutes!" The hyena burst out laughing. "That's a new world record. FIVE MINUTES!''

"Laugh it up, they were the best five minutes of my life."

Adonis was still bitter about not being picked. "Icarus better than me! Maybe when the underworld goes up in smoke and fire."

"Adonis the underworld is all smoke and fire, did you night see my cousin flame up earlier?" Herc rolled his eyes.

"Oh get off your winged high horse Hercules, you're just as disappointed as I am." Adonis glares.

"No, I'm happy for Icarus." Herc said. "He deserves to win for once, so what if I'm a thousand times stronger than him, a thousand times better looking."

"Maybe she didn't get a good enough look at me! That poor girl." He got up. "I'm going too.."

"I'm going with you." Herc got up.

"Ha! I knew you were as shallow as me." Adonis mocked.

"No I'm not, I'm worried about my friend Icarus, you know he might get his feelings hurt there."

"Whatever you wanna tell yourself."

"No really, I'm concerned about him, I'm really really am very concerned about his welfare." Well that's what Herc told Circe.

"Aw, that's why you came?" Circe asked. "I was so hoping you wanted to see me."

"See you?" Herc started to stutter. "Well I mean yeah, as long as I'm here"

"Don't listen to this dork." Adonis pulls her away. "Maybe you didn't see my good side. Behold, how do you like me now?"

"Not bad, not bad at all." Circe grins.

"And as an added bonus, I'm a prince."

"Really? I like princes."

"Well I'm a demi god, the son of Zeus and I'm destined to be the greatest hero the world has ever known." Herc said.

"Impressive, but I thought you came for your friend." Circe pointed out.

"Who? Oh Icarus, I mean yeah I did but um if things didn't work out between you two..."

"It didn't." Circe said before sitting down. "So come on guys, dazzle me with your brilliance.''

"Well first of all, look at this tan." Adonis posed. "Have you ever seen a sight so beautiful?"

"Yes as a matter a fact on Mount Olympus." Hercules jumped in. "That's my home you know, well it will be once I reach my full potential."

Meanwhile Cassandra got a vision of the boys being in danger. "Helen! Icarus, Adonis and Hercules are in good danger! We have to rescue them."

"Oh an outing, nifty." Helen grins.

"This is getting old." Circe said irritated when the boys started being gross. "Lets just say you're both winners."

"Both winners?" Herc asked

While Adonis and Hercules fought Circe pointed her staff at them turning them into animals as well.

"Hey! What happened? What am I?" Herc asked.

"A lemur." Circe answered.

"A WHAT?! What's that?"

"Just another addition to my collection of dumb animals."

"You evil enchantress! Look what you've done to my beautiful body!" Adonis cried now as a peacock.

Cirus watched them being taken away with a grin. "Give them ten minutes."

She waited and saw she was right, they all came running in.

"The throne room Adonis?" Herc glared at him.

"I am a prince, it's like a homing instant." Adonis defended himself.

"Well a girl could always use a fur coat or two." Circe said pointing her staff at them all.

Adonis screamed and jumped into a vase to hide.

"Haven't you heard Circe, fur is dead." Cassandra said as she swung in knocking the staff right out of her hand.

"Give it!" Circe demanded.

"Not a chance!"

"You're risking your life to save these jerks?" Circe asked.

"Yeah, I know."

"Cassie Wassie! You came here to risk your life to save me, what a great girlfriend!" Icarus cheered.

"He's your boyfriend?" Circe smirked.

"For the last time, HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" Cassandra shoved Circe hard into the throne chair making the statue behind her fall. "But he is my friend, my good friend"

"Ok, close enough for me." Icarus said. "I'm a friend and I'm a boy, least I think I still am."

"How do I use this?" Cassandra asked looking at the stick.

Circe started laughing. "You can't."

"Fix this Circe." Cassandra demanded.

"Oh I would except.. I'm not Circe." Circe smirked as she revealed she's really Carissa.

"Carissa! It was you all along!" Herc gasped.

"Surprise Jercules." Carissa spread her arms out. "Of course it's me."

"But but... why? Was this Hades's idea?"

"No, he's still recovering from that bump on the head you gave him." Carissa glared.

"Why would you do this?! To us? To these poor guys!"

"Poor guys? These are human boys, these are my daddy's workers."

The so called animals laughed to reveal they are really all monsters that work for Hades.

"And as for why I did it well the answer is simple, you ruined my summer I ruin yours. Step one was to go to the real Circe and ask for her staff, step two make you all fall hard for me, step three kidnap your best friend so you'd come after him and turn you into something useless. Though I gotta admit Cassandra I was surprised you showed up, I thought you couldn't stand him."

"Friendship confuses me." Cassandra shrugged.

"So Herc, good luck turning back, after all. The fates, the monsters, the Gods, the enchantresses, everyone and anyone who can help you.. They all listen to me. Caio."

With that she went home to her dad who was back to working hard.

Carissa walked in with a big smile on her face. "Oh daddy, I have a big surprise for you, have you ever heard of a lemur?"
