"OVER MY DEAD BODY ARES!!!!"

"Chill Mama! You're ALREADY dead. You're not only dead but you're UGGG-LY!"

"You just stay away from MY EVIE!!!!! I have the power to kill gods you know!!!"

"Oh yeah baby one look at that mug and they'll die of fright! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

"I hate to break it to ya, pal but you're no prize yourself either. Have you looked in the mirror lately?"

Xena thrust a mirror at the ghoulish god.

He smiled with approval at his image."SMOKIN!!!" Oh yeah!! Lookin' SO fine!"

The pair suddenly became aware of Eve who was studying them in shock.

"YOU are my...mother????"

"Yeah! You got a problem with that?"

The girl stubbornly kept her eyes on the Demon warrior. Then slowly she gazed down at herself.

"No problem, but it DOES explain...this."

Her hands swept her body from head to toe.

Realizing she was still in demon mode, Xena grabbed her face and pushed it into shape, then she did the same with her body. Then she turned to Ares the BeetleZeus."Well you know the old saying. If you can't get the original, you gots to settle for seconds. HAHAHAHAHAHA"

"Well you can't have her! And I'm gonna make sure you don't get her!!!"

"Well you know Xena, if you will be mine again and have a lil demon child with me, I'll leave her alone. You know I'd do anything for you."

"Look Ares, we're dead! And YOU'RE still trying to get me?" Don't you EVER give up?"

"Correcton Xena, YOU'RE dead. I'm a ghoul."

"A mere technicality, Ares."

Xena stepped back lip curled in a snarl.

"So how did you get like this anyway? Is this one of your tricks to make me feel sorry for ya?"

"Well thats a long story, Xena."

"Give me the Cliff Notes then."

"You know that old saying..."

"Another old saying?"

Yeah the one that goes be careful what you ask for because you just might get it? Well, I asked for my immortality back. I got it."

"Well you know that old saying, Ares...paybacks are a bitch. HAHAHAHAH"

"Come on Xena, put up yer dukes!"

"All right Ares, BeetleZeus whatever you wanna call yourself. This has been going on for centuries, lets settle this once and for all!"

"Xena raised her chakram but...

"Ohhh is this a private party or can anybody play?"

"Buffy?"

"Ooopsie!! My bad!!! Wrong show...I'll just be going now...Buh bye!"

"ENOUGH!!!"

"Callisto?"

"Yeah, its me...Xena! Eve is MY daughter too and I say I've had just about enough of your pushy, know-it-all, holier than thou, I am Miss Perfect who can do anything attitude!" Come on Ares, like she said, paybacks are a bitch!"

"HEY!! I'm back!!! And lookin' SO good! How did you do that? Never mind...you know the old saying...don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Lets get her!!!"
