It was a couple of weeks since the war. And finally, finally they were together. Percy eventually got the nerve to admit his puppy love to Annabeth, and Annabeth, at long last admitted her feelings for Percy. But it had taken FOUR years. They had to make this extremely embarrassing. Yes, the lake was perfectly mortifying... until Percy made an air bubble. Travis sulked.
And then Travis was suddenly hit with a bolt of inspiration. Inspiration often seemed to hit Travis randomly.
Travis turned slowly to his frowning brother. A grin of fantastically evil proportions lit his face. Conner shrunk away from him in apprehension.
"Conner, dearest brother of mine." Travis said sweetly, never losing his smile. "It is time for another prank that will surpass the legendary Golden Mango." Conner's eyes widened, and then in an almost reverent voice he solemnly replied,
"Excellent." Travis turned to the lake. Enjoy this kiss, love birds. He thought evilly.
"Let's get started."
"Welcome my dearest friends and colleagues." Travis said grandiosely. He spread his arms wide and bowed to the lack of applause. Katie glared at him, and Travis blushed and pouted on the inside. Push through it Stoll, he commanded himself.
"Some punks have been asking for a beating; let's make this quick Stoll." Clarisse said menacingly as she crawled into the cleverly hidden cave that Conner and Travis had found their first week at Camp. Chris, turned to Clarisse and smiled like a love struck cow. Oh, wait... that's exactly what he was. Such a disappointment to Hermes.
"As you all have seen, Annabeth and our number one bro have finally gotten together." To this applause and smiles. Travis scowled at them.
"They are so cute together, I mean really!" Some Aphrodite girl gushed. "Like, Anya and I were totally betting on how long it would take for them to get together, and we were totally - "
"Anyway, we, as their most trusted friends and half brother" (Malcom was in attendance) "Have the duty and honor of making their lives like Hades. No offense, Nico."
"None, taken." Chuckles to this, and then everyone turned back to Travis a gleam of unquenchable curiosity and excitement gleaming in every pair of eyes. Except Katie. She never seemed impressed by him, no matter what. Travis tried to ignore that.
"What's the plan?" Malcom questioned, pulling out a huge notepad and drawing and Conner looked at each other.
"Well..."
They spent the whole night planning, arguing, and eventually rolling around with uproarious laughter. The plan was completed. Percy and Annabeth didn't have a chance.
