Vanessa's Theories of the Universe
December 1
3 p.m.
All my friends come over to finish getting ready, but I lose track of time. I get caught up in a fantasy fiction novel. And this becomes a kind of patch between what my boyfriend said. I stick with the original plan. Beast is taking me to prom. I focus on what Fanta, the cyclops is doing in the fantasy. He isn't sure whether it's safe to visit his ship one last time. Will Aphrodite come back? She dumped him. He's checking the weather outside.
I close the book where Fanta is adrift on a remote island, and Aphrodite takes her father's advice and parties with the sons and daughters of gods and goddesses. Fanta spends a whole chapter trying to win her back, and I dream a new story for him.
Fanta and Aphrodite go dancing. They go to prom but on Saturn. They check out the rings. You can slide around the rings - they are like a giant slip-in-slide but with no water so they won't mess up their fancy clothes. But will they get lost in space? Aphrodite hears this could happen. But they go anyway, and she doesn't worry much about falling, her dad is Zeus, and he would find them. She turns her attention to Fanta's shoes.
"Who knew a cyclops could do fashion?"
She goes on about Fanta's dark purple dress shoes. You wouldn't know they aren't black unless you are a god or have Olympian eyesight.
"They're vegan too," he says. Fanta tells her Polyphemus has one meat-free night every week, and he's thinking about adding a second one. And they live happily ever after...
At no point in their space fantasy love story does Fanta call Aphrodite and tell her he's going to Saturn with someone else.
