"APHRODITE!"
That scream could be heard all across Olympus, the Underworld and even in Tartarus itself. It was no news that the Goddess of Love did her will around the mortals and, sometimes, she'd even mess with the immortals. When this would happen, she'd simply cover her mouth with her delicate-polished-manicured hand and let out a giggle, as if saying 'Oops, I'm so silly!'
But, this time, Aphrodite seemed to messed with one of the most ancient goddesses.
And Hecate wasn't a happy camper right now.
"How could you?!" Hecate roared at her, after scaring half the immortal population of the world and finding her, drinking peacefully, surrounded by nymphs that were obeying her every request.
"Hecate, darling, you'd have to be more specific..." Aphrodite had the nerve to reply to her. Aphrodite knew exactly what she had done and she didn't regret it, not even one bit. After all, it wasn't her fault.
"More specific?! You want me to be more specific?! How about the fact that you used that cursed belt of yours, flirted, seduced and took to bed the mortal I chose to be father of one of my children!" The nymphs had some common sense and, after gaping at their mistress' actions, they slipped away, not wanting to be the target of Hecate's fury. Aphrodite wasn't even immune to all that rant.
"I'm sure you could find-"
"No, Aphrodite!" Hecate cut her, not even caring the glare Aphrodite was giving her for interrupting her "I won't find another man for it, because either they don't believe in magic, which is a really important factor in my selection or you'll seduce them!"
"Darling, you're-"
"I'm what? Over reacting?!" Hecate completed the sentence, once again, interrupting Aphrodite "Don't tell me how to react to your whore ways, Aphrodite" she spatted, not even caring what was coming out of her mouth "I'm sure you'd get as many guys as you claim you slept with if you weren't stealing other ones"
"Are you saying that's all I do? Sleeping around with guys?"
"Lie to me and tell me I'm wrong" Hecate dared her, making Aphrodite shut her mouth. In part, she was right, but she won't admit that. Ever "Stop messing with other gods' mortals, especially mine, if you know what's best for you!" she threaten her, before walking away from her.
"I did you a big favor!" Aphrodite was yelling at her, not even moving from her place "Trust me, the guy was a fake about everything!"
That only fueled Hecate's rage even more. How dare Aphrodite stole her mortal and, accused him of liar?! She'd teach her a lesson.

"Star-nosed mole's nose... Matamata's shell... Vampire bat's fingers..." Hecate began to throw ingredients inside her cauldron, smirking like a bad person. Well, of course she was doing something bad... she was gonna teach that Aphrodite a lesson about stealing her men! "What do you think its missing, Gale?" she asked her loyal weasel, who only farted as an answer "That Levesque girl was right... Everything you do is fart..." she complained to herself "What else? What else...? Ah! Proboscis monkey's nose... Warthog's tusk... Burrowing frog's eyes... Monkfish's mouth... And, finally... Blob fish's skin..." she laughed as the final ingredient was added to the mix, ready to launch her spell "Make those who make me suffer in love understand the suffering I've been through..." It might have no rhyme, but she knew what she was doing.
Gale, however, started to back away, knowing that something was different and strange about this potion. Hecate wasn't noticing, since she was immerse in her own pain of revenge and began chanting the words over and over again.
Meanwhile, in the other side of Olympus...
"AHHHHHH!" Aphrodite's scream was heard all across Olympus. But she wasn't the only one. Female and male screams were heard all over it, making it a contest on who was louder. Hecate's spell worked, but with a slight change. Instead of affecting only Aphrodite, it affected all the gods.
"HECATE!" Zeus roared, calling for her presence. Or, should we say, his presence?
"What is this scandal?!" Hecate busted in, trying to contain the laugh and the embarrassment of a misfired spell "It's just a slight change-"
"A slight change?! You changed our genders!" Zeus boomed at Hecate, who was stiffing a laugh. It was not able to take Zeus serious when he (or she, should we say) had the cheeks fluttered and looking (or trying to) all bad and mean.
"This is temporary... until someone understand why I did this" Hecate smirked and looked up at the Council "Until then... Well, we better get comfortable in our new bodies..."
