It Is Not Easy Being a Goddess

                It's not easy being a "Goddess". You have to maintain your perfect appearance and your power over the "little, inferior people" around you at all times. You also need to have as much Aphrodite as you can carry with you. The last thing you want is for your "former, ugly self" to return unannounced. You consider her as a separate identity from you and want nothing to do with her or her life.

                You got careless once. You were out on a date with a wealthy stud muffin. He had the money and the body, at least on the outside. He was talking about his favorite things and hobbies when it happened. Your stomach started gurgling. You felt the pain from your abdomen. It wouldn't be anything you ate because you felt your stomach slowly starting to bloat. As he kept talking, her stomach became fatter and wider. The table you were sitting at hid your growing stomach well, but you couldn't hide the pain you were in. As luck would have it, you were able to get away when he asked if you were okay. You just needed to find a ladies' room, you said. You made sure to hide your growing stomach as you headed for the nearby restroom.

                As you closed the restroom door, you looked down and saw your protruding belly. No, not yours, hers. She was coming back, the slob who became you after spraying herself with Aphrodite. Turning to the mirror, you saw your flawless, tanned skin become pale and covered in freckles. You jammed your hand into your purse to grab your emergency bottle of Aphrodite, but as you searched for it, more fat formed in your thighs. You finally got it out as the lower half of your "old self" finished forming. A quick spray and she would be put "into submission". The fat in the thighs melted away, your tanned skin returned, and the awful protrusion that was your stomach shrank back into your hourglass figure.

                The handsome date, none the wiser, resumes talking about his life as you return to your seat. You had just avoided personal catastrophe and humiliation. It just goes to show that even being physically irresistible can have drawbacks if you're not prepared. He could have seen who you really were and become disgusted by who you used to be: A rotund, homely, freckle-faced freak. You would have been forced back into the mind of someone who won't know how she even got there in the first place. It's proof that it is not easy being a "Goddess".
