Wait and see!
Mmm! More finger sandwiches
for my favorite dread sisters?
Mmm! Mmm!
Ho ho ho ho ho!
Sure. I swallowed a
nail on the last one.
And allow me to
top off your hemlock.
Anything for my beautiful fates.
Oh, Hades, you charmer.
Clotho, you're such a tease.
Have I ever told you what
beautiful eyes you have?
You know, I have
this little venture,
a kind of merger
proposition in the works,
and it'd be just so
handy to know if it'll work,
like, you know, beforehand...
Is this thing on? Hello?
I told you he only
had eyes for our eye.
Aw, come on! Just one
teensy peek at the future.
Forbidden, I know, but, hey,
you scratch my back,
and I scratch yours.
Then again, oy... Ow! Aah!
To none shall the
future be unfurled,
not even the lord
of the underworld!
Ah!
Pain! Panic!
I-I need a new seer.
Maybe this'll help.
What... Oh.
"Seers Catalog...
Directory of fortunetellers,
psychics, and clairvoyants."
Cool beans. Way to go.
Eh... Teiresias, too crotchety.
Next. Oracle Friends
Network, a little too commercial.
Well, now, who's this
telegenic telepath?
Ha-cha-cha.
Huh. "Promising amateur...
hot up-and-coming prospect
with a bright future in futures.
Rating, four crystal balls."
Well, now.
Boys, bring around the chariot.
I'm going on a recruiting drive.
How's my hair? Aflame?
Hah. Yes. Ha-cha-cha.
So... Hercmeister,
goin' to the big
Paeanetsia tonight?
Oh, you bet! I love
harvest festivals.
Well, you ain't
seen a Paeanetsia
till you've seen a big-town,
Athens-style Paeanetsia.
Hercules! We have to talk!
Oooh... lovey-kins!
Ya ever see a guy bring up a
whole-date smoothie through his nose?
Please. Watch.
Ta-da!
Cassandra, you're white
as marble. What's up?
I can't tell you.
Not here.
- Oh...
- Icarus, will you excuse us?
Sure thing, my
rosy-fingered dawn.
Cassandra!
We're all alone!
Now what is it?
I... I've had my most
grisly, most frightful,
most apocalyptic vision ever.
Words cannot describe
the... the horror!
You've got to help me!
Your visions are always bad.
If this is the worst
ever, I'm ready!
I swear upon my
reputation as a hero,
come Hades or high water,
come man or beast,
come invading Titans
or zillion-headed Hydras,
I will help you!
Hey, that sounded pretty good.
I saw myself at the
Paeanetsia festival tonight.
There was a crowd of people...
and gods and goddesses...
All watching me,
and I was... I was...
I was kissing Icarus!
Yeah? And?
- Kissing Icarus!
- Then what?
That's it!
That's the vision!
Uh, a kiss?
That's all?
No zillion-headed Hydras?
Aw, man!
I gotta go back to school!
You can't just leave!
What happened to,
"I swear upon my reputation
as a hero to help you"?
Well, sure, but I thought...
Are you sure there isn't
even, like, a little titan involved?
Don't you have some annoying
hero rule that applies here?
Well... number 221...
Never promise to help
before you know the job.
I'll talk to Icarus
after school.
OK, Pegasus, Icarus'
dad is a legendary inventor,
but he's also a
legendary paranoid,
so watch out for his
home security system.
Ready? Let's go!
Down!
Look out! Ah! Break!
Hang an epsilon!
Whoo-hoo! We did it!
Hyah!
What?
Duck!
Come in! It's open!
I'm out by the pool!
Got the old wax
wings out again, huh?
Oh, yeah. Not so good
for flying near the sun,
but, uh, you know,
great for stunt divin'.
So what brings you to villa moi?
Oh, I was just thinking
of you and cassandra.
Ah, yes, Icarus and cassandra...
legendary paramours, heir to
lofty loves of Zeus and Hera,
Aeneas and Dido,
Narcissus and...
eh, well, Narcissus.
Yeah. What about it?
I was just saying how cool it is
that, you know, you're just friends,
and... and that you
never tried to, you know,
push it to the next level.
The next level?
Eh, I don't get it.
I mean, ya mean, there's something
beyond our current state of ha-cha-cha?
Well, like, you've
never, uh, kissed her,
and-and you'd never
try to, would you,
because... A kiss?
Hey! A kiss!
Eureka!
Our love must be
sealed with a kiss!
A kiss of mythic proportions!
What?! No, no, no!
No. I was saying it's great that
your relationship is just friendly!
You know, platonic.
Oh, Plato's a prude!
I will kiss her at the
Paeanetsia festival tonight
with mortals, gods, and
goddesses looking on in wonder!
She'll love it!
You've put me on
the path to osculation!
Ah! Hoo! What
the... Not again! Hey!
Osculation?
So you... won't kiss her?
Uh, hello! Osculation
means kissing!
Tonight... smooch city or bust!
Tell my little calamatta that
I shall pick her up at 7:00.
Hah!
♪ Osculation,
osculation, heeeyyy ♪
Well... b I think that
went very well, don't you?
- How'd it go?
- Uh, it went...
just not exactly the
way I had planned.
Did you get him to swear
he'd never get within
a hectare of me again?
Sort of.
He's picking you up at 7:00.
What?
He's a smooth osculator.
Are you having another vision?
Sort of. I foresee myself
becoming physically ill.
E-excuse me.
My first kiss will not be a
lip-lock session with Icarus.
By 7:00... I'll be
halfway to Asia Minor.
Hey yourself, cutie.
You don't want to go there.
It's a real letdown after
Asia Major, trust me.
Name's Hades, lord
of the underworld.
How you doing? H-have we met?
I know your work.
Ha. Love that.
Allow me to cut to
the chase, may I?
I couldn't help overhearing
yu're living in
mortal fear of a kiss?
Yeah, so?
So I can prevent
it from happening.
Boom. Done. No kiss.
Guaranteed. Ba-da-bing.
The catch?
All I ask in exchange
is a little bitty thing,
your soul. You
won't even miss it.
I know I never do.
You seriously think
that I'm going to sell
you my eternal soul
just so I don't
have to kiss Icarus?
Ugh. Hoo, boy.
I mean, I think the kids call
it "osculation" these days.
And listen, sweetheart,
I mean, "eternal"?
Who said eternal? I
was thinking part-time.
Say, weekends. After school.
And maybe the occasional,
you know, graveyard
shift. What do you say?
I get every other sunday off.
Deal.
You sold your after-school
and weekend soul to Hades?
What were you thinking?
I was thinking about
Icarus' puckered lips.
And how my friend, Hercules,
wasn't doing anything to stop them.
Cassandra, wait.
Ahh. She's right,
Pegasus. So far,
I've done nothing
but make it worse.
I've got to cancel her
deal with Hades somehow.
But-but how?
The kiss. That's it.
If the kiss happens,
that breaks the deal.
Huh. How do I make that happen?
Huh. That's it.
Godly intervention.
Set a course for
Aphrodite's temple.
OK, boys. Simple mission.
Keep this Icarus character
from sucking face with
my new seer. Got it?
No seer-sucking. Ha ha. Got it.
Your continuing faith in us
is truly inconceivable,
your head deadliness.
Good. Well, that's why
I'm sending backup.
Backup?
We don't need no
stinking backup.
Boys, I'd like you
to meet Doubt.
Yeow!
Or maybe we do need backup.
Maybe, or-or maybe not.
I just don't know.
Doubt, looking good. Nice
venom, babe. Come here.
Boy, have I got
a gig for you. Ahh.
There it is.
The temple of Aphrodite.
Sure is pink.
Oh, Aphrodite, goddess of love,
Hear me, a humble mortal.
Well, uh, half-mortal,
actually, but...

Oh, good goddess,
could you kind of hurry?
I'm trying to get out of here.
I'm seeing someone very special at
the Paeanetsia tonight, and... oh. Ow.
My chiton's totally
riding up on me.
Oh, ha ha. Sorry.
A-anyway, um, my
best friend, Icarus,
Is in love with my
other best friend...
Wait, wait, wait. Are
they both human?
Uh, uh-huh.
I'm just checking. Go on.
Well, um, see, Icarus
really wants to kiss her,
only she doesn't, ha ha,
really doesn't want to kiss him,
so she made a deal with
Hades to sell her soul, and...
And you got yourself
stuck in the middle, right?
Well, uh, yeah, I
guess I, yeah, I did.
Oh, when are you
people going to learn?
Love is like plumbing, OK?
Very complex, usually messy,
and best left to professionals.
Oh. But you want to
play matchmaker. Fine.
Huh? No, no, I, I...
No, hey, go ahead.
You're half immortal.
You can handle it.
Just inject 24 CCS
sub-durogluteal
love potion stat.
Huh?
Oh. Nail her in the
tush with an arrow.
Oh, wait. Make sure the
intended is the next thing she sees.
Oh, wait, no. Only use
big ones in an emergency.
And, oh, wait, no.
No, OK, that's all.
Wait. No, yes.
OK. All right. Bye.

Seconds, anyone?
Mumsy? Daddykins?
More than enough here.
Ohh. I feel great.
I should have sold my
soul to Hades years ago.
Sold your soul to Hades?
You kids today.
That's our little casserole,
Always making new friends.
OK, glad you're happy.
A-anyway, it's time
for that traditional
reciprocal back-scratch
we were talking about.
See, I got this big venture
in the final planning stages.
Kind of a, ha ha, a
little personal affair.
- And I just got to know...
- Uh-uh. Not yet.
Hey, come on. We got a deal.
You get me after
you prevent the kiss.
My vision says it
happens tonight.
Tomorrow, I'm yours.
Ha, uh. This deal may
actually go down tonight.
I... I... you think... hey.
Yes?
Hi. Is cassandra home?
Cassie, there's an armed youth
and a flying horse
here to see you.
Oh, no, you don't.
Hey, what's all the brouhaha?
Well, hello, Evelyn.
Oh, ho, Frank.
Hercules, this is not doing
wonders For our friendship.
It's for your own good.
My own good?
You don't get it.
I don't like Icarus. I...
I... I...
I... loathe him.
It wore off already?
Wow. She's tough.
Icarus.
Oh, Icky. Wow.
Fly me to the sun.
I'm yours, Icky, baby.
Don't worry, it's not permanent.
Come on, we got to get
Icarus before it wears off.
But where's my Icky-poo?
Uh, I'm going to go get him now.
Meet us at the festival, OK?
Looking good.
Oh. Wha... I need a shave.
Aah.
He's going to kiss somebody?
I got to get out more.
I could do OK.
We got to make him
terrified of the kiss.
We can handle this, big guy.
Add a little greco-sheen.
B... Oh!
How groovy.
And yet insouciably cheeky. Yes.
I like it.
Hmm?
Nooo!
These lips aren't
made for kissing.
Hee hee hee.
They're made for osculation.
You have never
looked better, baby.
Let's do it.
Aah!
Ay! Ay!
Man, I'm glad that
Doubt dude is on our side.
He's scary.
Icarus. What happened?
Come on. Cassandra's waiting
at the Paeanetsia, remember?
Smooch city or bust.
Osculation.
No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I cannot osculate.
What? Why not?
I was stricken by Doubt.
Oh, that's perfectly
understandable.
First kiss, you know, it's a
big moment. Huge pressure.
No. I mean I was
stricken by Doubt!

What are you doing?
Ringing Doubt's bell.
Scissors cut paper. Ha ha ha.
You tell Hades.
You're n-not mad?
Mad? Why should I be mad?
What, do I look mad? Come on.
I was going to the
Paeanetsia anyway.
So now I can take care of them.
Maybe a little more sulfur, huh?
What do you think,
huh? Is this too much red?
Oh, it's you, boss.
You want us to come with, huh?
No. No.
I want you to marshmallow.
Yes, your incredibility.
And not too crispy.
You know I hate that.
No. I don't want
to kiss the girl.
You can't make me.
You're not the boss of me.
That's doubt talking. Not you.
And this is love talking.
Do I have to
spell it out for you?
E-R-O-S. Love.
Come and get it. Rrrr.
There you go,
Icarus. Smooch city.
Icarus?
Get back here, you
hunk-a hunk-a burning Eros.
Aah!
Ay!
No. No!
Please, I can't.
I can't.
I can't believe what
I'm saying here.
I got the keys to smooch city
and I'm living in Scaredyville?
Come on.
Doubt's venom must've worn off.
This is it.
Aah!
Dag bulimee.
Hold still, my
sweet feta dumpling.
The arrow wore off.
But there's more
where that came from.
Whoa, hey.
Hades.
It's rude to point
arrows in public.
Doubt, would you teach this
creep some manners? Come on.
Look, I'm representing your
friend Cassandra in this case.
And I am going to
keep her innocent
beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Pun.
Uh.
Hello? You're supposed
to take care of this.
We had a deal.
No!
Icarus!
I didn't want to kiss him,
But I didn't want him dead.
You didn't specify.
Anyway, he's not,
like, "dead" dead.
I mean, he's as good as dead.
He's in the eternal sleep mode,
but he's not dead.
Aphrodite! Ha ha.

That is so last week.
Well, no, no. I mean.
Well, yeah. But...
OK, shut up. Here's the scoop.
He's not dead. He
can be awakened,
But only by a kiss
from the one he loves.
You're kidding, right?
She's kidding, right?
Uh, no. No. But look, you can't,

OK, cookie, I know our

I got to know about
this proposition
I got in the works, OK?
I got a major case of
the hots for Aphrodite.
Flare up, hoo.
Whoa, there I go again. Whew.
I want to ask her out on a date,
But as you can probably imagine,
I don't handle rejection well.
So I got to know. Just tell me.
Will she say yes?
Are you kidding?
She will say no.
Ouch. She hurt me.
Question, am I mortified?
Answer, yes.
And, I mean, that
breath. That sulfur breath.
What is that? Ugh.
And I'm engaged. Hello?
All right, I think you
know Hephaestus.
What are you
thinking? Hephaestus.
Hephaestus? What
are you trying...
I know hephaestus.
Big guy, jealous type,

Heph!
How you doing, old buddy?
So, hey, who's
minding the forge?
I hear congratulations
are in order, by the way.
You're not angry, are you?
'cause I happen to think
your fiancée is a
goddess, do you?
Oh. Ow. Ooh.
Yeah. See? See how he gets?
Ooh. Aah. Oh, I
think that's enough.
That's enough.
First and last, Icarus.
First and last.
Aw, come on. One more.
I was asleep the first time.

I mean, I think the kids call
it "osculation" these days.
And listen, sweetheart,
I mean, "eternal"?
Who said eternal? I
was thinking part-time.
Say, weekends. After school.
And maybe the occasional,
you know, graveyard
shift. What do you say?
I get every other sunday off.
Deal.
You sold your after-school
and weekend soul to Hades?
What were you thinking?
I was thinking about
Icarus' puckered lips.
And how my friend, Hercules,
wasn't doing anything to stop them.
Cassandra, wait.
Ahh. She's right,
Pegasus. So far,
I've done nothing
but make it worse.
I've got to cancel her
deal with Hades somehow.
But-but how?
The kiss. That's it.
If the kiss happens,
that breaks the deal.
Huh. How do I make that happen?
Huh. That's it.
Godly intervention.
Set a course for
Aphrodite's temple.
OK, boys. Simple mission.
Keep this Icarus character
from sucking face with
my new seer. Got it?
No seer-sucking. Ha ha. Got it.
Your continuing faith in us
is truly inconceivable,
your head deadliness.
Good. Well, that's why
I'm sending backup.
Backup?
We don't need no
stinking backup.
Boys, I'd like you
to meet Doubt.
Yeow!
Or maybe we do need backup.
Maybe, or-or maybe not.
I just don't know.
Doubt, looking good. Nice
venom, babe. Come here.
Boy, have I got
a gig for you. Ahh.
There it is.
The temple of Aphrodite.
Sure is pink.
Oh, Aphrodite, goddess of love,
Hear me, a humble mortal.
Well, uh, half-mortal,
actually, but...

Oh, good goddess,
could you kind of hurry?
I'm trying to get out of here.
I'm seeing someone very special at
the Paeanetsia tonight, and... oh. Ow.
My chiton's totally
riding up on me.
Oh, ha ha. Sorry.
A-anyway, um, my
best friend, Icarus,
Is in love with my
other best friend...
Wait, wait, wait. Are
they both human?
Uh, uh-huh.
I'm just checking. Go on.
Well, um, see, Icarus
really wants to kiss her,
only she doesn't, ha ha,
really doesn't want to kiss him,
so she made a deal with
Hades to sell her soul, and...
And you got yourself
stuck in the middle, right?
Well, uh, yeah, I
guess I, yeah, I did.
Oh, when are you
people going to learn?
Love is like plumbing, OK?
Very complex, usually messy,
and best left to professionals.
Oh. But you want to
play matchmaker. Fine.
Huh? No, no, I, I...
No, hey, go ahead.
You're half immortal.
You can handle it.
Just inject 24 CCS
sub-durogluteal
love potion stat.
Huh?
Oh. Nail her in the
tush with an arrow.
Oh, wait. Make sure the
intended is the next thing she sees.
Oh, wait, no. Only use
big ones in an emergency.
And, oh, wait, no.
No, OK, that's all.
Wait. No, yes.
OK. All right. Bye.

Seconds, anyone?
Mumsy? Daddykins?
More than enough here.
Ohh. I feel great.
I should have sold my
soul to Hades years ago.
Sold your soul to Hades?
You kids today.
That's our little casserole,
Always making new friends.
OK, glad you're happy.
A-anyway, it's time
for that traditional
reciprocal back-scratch
we were talking about.
See, I got this big venture
in the final planning stages.
Kind of a, ha ha, a
little personal affair.
- And I just got to know...
- Uh-uh. Not yet.
Hey, come on. We got a deal.
You get me after
you prevent the kiss.
My vision says it
happens tonight.
Tomorrow, I'm yours.
Ha, uh. This deal may
actually go down tonight.
I... I... you think... hey.
Yes?
Hi. Is cassandra home?
Cassie, there's an armed youth
and a flying horse
here to see you.
Oh, no, you don't.
Hey, what's all the brouhaha?
Well, hello, Evelyn.
Oh, ho, Frank.
Hercules, this is not doing
wonders For our friendship.
It's for your own good.
My own good?
You don't get it.
I don't like Icarus. I...
I... I...
I... loathe him.
It wore off already?
Wow. She's tough.
Icarus.
Oh, Icky. Wow.
Fly me to the sun.
I'm yours, Icky, baby.
Don't worry, it's not permanent.
Come on, we got to get
Icarus before it wears off.
But where's my Icky-poo?
Uh, I'm going to go get him now.
Meet us at the festival, OK?
Looking good.
Oh. Wha... I need a shave.
Aah.
He's going to kiss somebody?
I got to get out more.
I could do OK.
We got to make him
terrified of the kiss.
We can handle this, big guy.
Add a little greco-sheen.
B... Oh!
How groovy.
And yet insouciably cheeky. Yes.
I like it.
Hmm?
Nooo!
These lips aren't
made for kissing.
Hee hee hee.
They're made for osculation.
You have never
looked better, baby.
Let's do it.
Aah!
Ay! Ay!
Man, I'm glad that
Doubt dude is on our side.
He's scary.
Icarus. What happened?
Come on. Cassandra's waiting
at the Paeanetsia, remember?
Smooch city or bust.
Osculation.
No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I cannot osculate.
What? Why not?
I was stricken by Doubt.
Oh, that's perfectly
understandable.
First kiss, you know, it's a
big moment. Huge pressure.
No. I mean I was
stricken by Doubt!

What are you doing?
Ringing Doubt's bell.
Scissors cut paper. Ha ha ha.
You tell Hades.
You're n-not mad?
Mad? Why should I be mad?
What, do I look mad? Come on.
I was going to the
Paeanetsia anyway.
So now I can take care of them.
Maybe a little more sulfur, huh?
What do you think,
huh? Is this too much red?
Oh, it's you, boss.
You want us to come with, huh?
No. No.
I want you to marshmallow.
Yes, your incredibility.
And not too crispy.
You know I hate that.
No. I don't want
to kiss the girl.
You can't make me.
You're not the boss of me.
That's doubt talking. Not you.
And this is love talking.
Do I have to
spell it out for you?
E-R-O-S. Love.
Come and get it. Rrrr.
There you go,
Icarus. Smooch city.
Icarus?
Get back here, you
hunk-a hunk-a burning Eros.
Aah!
Ay!
No. No!
Please, I can't.
I can't.
I can't believe what
I'm saying here.
I got the keys to smooch city
and I'm living in Scaredyville?
Come on.
Doubt's venom must've worn off.
This is it.
Aah!
Dag bulimee.
Hold still, my
sweet feta dumpling.
The arrow wore off.
But there's more
where that came from.
Whoa, hey.
Hades.
It's rude to point
arrows in public.
Doubt, would you teach this
creep some manners? Come on.
Look, I'm representing your
friend Cassandra in this case.
And I am going to
keep her innocent
beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Pun.
Uh.
Hello? You're supposed
to take care of this.
We had a deal.
No!
Icarus!
I didn't want to kiss him,
But I didn't want him dead.
You didn't specify.
Anyway, he's not,
like, "dead" dead.
I mean, he's as good as dead.
He's in the eternal sleep mode,
but he's not dead.

Well, no, no. I mean.
Well, yeah. But...
OK, shut up. Here's the scoop.
He's not dead. He
can be awakened,
But only by a kiss
from the one he loves.
You're kidding, right?
She's kidding, right?
Uh, no. No. But look, you can't,

I got in the works, OK?
I got a major case of
the hots for Aphrodite.
Flare up, hoo.
Whoa, there I go again. Whew.
I want to ask her out on a date,
But as you can probably imagine,
I don't handle rejection well.
So I got to know. Just tell me.
Will she say yes?
Are you kidding?
She will say no.
Ouch. She hurt me.
Question, am I mortified?
Answer, yes.
And, I mean, that
breath. That sulfur breath.
What is that? Ugh.
And I'm engaged. Hello?

know Hephaestus.

'cause I happen to think

Oh. Ow. Ooh.
Yeah. See? See how he gets?
Ooh. Aah. Oh, I
think that's enough.
That's enough.
First and last, Icarus.
First and last.
Aw, come on. One more.
I was asleep the first time.
