|| It's Aphrodite! ||
Aphrodite:
When all is said and done, all the glasses empty and all the dances danced, there is only one thing left do: worship your Goddess.
After all, I’ve showered them with my divine waters from below the earth, broke open Aphrodite’s fountain, so they can have a sequel...I mean, have a happily ever after on Kalokairi.
And what a spectacle it had been, leading to the unexpected wedding. It was almost Shakespearean, I might say, and I had been very pleased with myself. Donna and Sam, Sophie and Sky, Rosie and Bill, Harry and Hot Greek Guy, Tanya and donkey balls. Yes, it had been perfect.
Yeees, you might suspect that I had not only done this from the goodness of my heart, but with a little clever plan as well: with Aphrodite’s fountain open, and the hotel finally getting some direly needed renovations, the worshippers should overcrowd Donna’s rooms, drink from my essence (not in a gross way) and kiss the ground I figuratively walk on.
Yet...they did not. Guests were still scarce in the hotel, and finally I got too impatient.
With a snapping of my fingers I appear in the yard, right beside my fountain, and my hands go down my dress and into my hair to make sure I look my very best. Of course I look my very best, there’s no one prettier than me.
“Donna!” I yell through the yard, and I am already a bit cross that my appearance got unnoticed. “Your friggin’ Goddess is here, so stop snoozing and come here.”

Donna:
A bottle of wine the last night, drank alone. The buzz of company had long gone. Sky and Sophie away on their honeymoon. Donna and the Dynamos sung their last show. A glittery costume lays in the corner. The blues had sunk in. The bottle of Rose emptied quickly and then another. Her head throbs and a hand rises to reach for her pillow and cover her ears. Too early, not a customer in sight. Again, a shrill call of her name. Donna rises to pull the sash down closed when she spies the goddess in the courtyard. "Oh no! Not you again! You and your empty promises!" If she had the empty bottle, she'd throw it as a sacrifice.

Aphrodite:
"Oh my goddess, just look at you"!
I can't hide my disgust of the dishevelled look Donna is sporting right now. What little make-up she's had is now smeared all over her face, her hair is a nest for several birds at once, and her blue overall is torn and dirty.
"Do you really think I graced you with my presence here just for you to let things go to waste?"
Looking toward the hotel I can see it's even more run-down and needs a better handiman than Donna could ever be.
"Where's the worshippers...uh...tourists you wanted to attract? Here's my fountain, the essence of love and life, and you're tainting it with cheap wine."
I'm putting my hand in the fountain and then emerge it again with force, splashing a sizeable amount of water on Donna's face to wake her up.
"Come on, girl, I need my worshippers and you need...."
I can't even begin to say what Donna needs. Basically everything except for more cheap wine.
