Summary: The sun god is in rare form today--lots to do, lots of Muses to see! And let's try to not destroy any cities too badly, yes?

Apollo was normally a morning person anyway. Part of the territory of being a solar deity. But when the sun rose that morning, he could just feel its power flooding him. He was radiant, and absolutely bouncy to be an immortal again. Oh, this would be a day filled with possibilities!

"Mel, darling!" he called out cheerfully. "The world is our oyster. How shall we seize the day?" he asked.

There were times when being both the God of Prophecy and the Mousagetes came in handy. This was one of them. Basking in the awed stares of the assorted students and faculty, Apollo strode toward Urania's office, proudly hand-in-hand with Melpomene. He only smiled beatifically at the whispers around them. Oh, it was good to be a god again.

Whistling cheerfully, he headed up to her office, and beamed when he caught sight of her violet hair.
"Hello, love. Aren't you a sight for sore eyes?" he asked by way of a greeting.

Urania waved. "I'm in the middle of something." Not that everyone in the room hadn't noticed the entrance, but Urania was, if nothing else, a professional. And, still a teacher... perhaps especially so now.

"Such enthusiasm." She remarked with amused sarcasm. "It's not like we came all this way to spend time with you."

Though she put up a front of casualness, she itched to have Urania's hand in hers. It was so different from when they'd been together during the holidays. She could feel her sister now. There was not banal mortality blocking them. Urania was a piece of her, and she wanted to connect.

And because she wanted to go to Urania so badly, she took her hand out of Apollo's and slid her arms around his waist, resting her head on his shoulder. He was just as much her home. She just needed time to adjust to the old power, that's all.

"Well, we do have until sunrise," Apollo remarked. "Hmm. I do wonder if I'm supposed to be the one who has to take care of that for tomorrow morning."

"Of course, we'd be happy to help as well," he offered, his arms encircling Melpomene, and lightly kissing her forehead. He was radiant with his warm, healing power.

"You know, if I'd known this was coming, and you were coming, I'd have gotten someone else to cover for me," Urania said. "I'd forgotten that thing about how prophecies don't usually make sense until afterward."

Apollo smiled his most charming roguish little half-smirk.
"Then it means we've been apart far too long," he said, "After all, you were gifted wit foresight, just as I was."

He held out a hand toward her.
"Won't you come with us, my darling?"

She smiled at her sister, still cuddled up to their Sun God. "We only get one day, babe. This mundane stuff will wait until tomorrow." She sing-songed her words and the room of mortals suddenly looked eager to leave, like they just got inspired to do that one thing they kept putting off for later. For some of them, it might even have been homework.

"Well, now that I don't have any students," Urania said. "Just let me put a sign on the door in case any of them come back."

"Of course, love. Whenever you're ready," Apollo said with a grin.

Urania quickly wrote a sign -- strange how her handwriting had improved -- saying that a 'family event' had called her out and to email her for an appointment if she was needed. "There."

"Perfect," Apollo said, nodding in approval. "Now. We only have until sunrise to make the most of this. Where shall we begin?"

"Where are the most people?" Mel still wanted to make a scene. She felt she hadn't done nearly enough damage in Seattle before they left.

"Somewhere that isn't Wyoming," Urania added. "Laramie is about as happening it gets in this state."

That and she'd rather Mel's powers not be used somewhere she might have to come back to later.

Apollo smiled beatifically.
"Now, now, my sweets. Melpomene, darling, let's not embarrass your sister too much. And Urania, love, you only get the one day. Let's not squander it."
