It was a hot day in New York, especially around Long Island. The girls had all gone out to do whatever girls do, leaving the guys to hang out with each other. So there they were, a group of teenage guys, lounging around Bunker 9 with absolutely nothing to do.

Of course, they were inside of a closed area with no AC on a day when it was 110 degrees outside; of course they were going to get delusional.

If you ever bring this up to any of the boys, they'll all blame it on Leo. It was his stupid remark that started the whole conversation in the first place.

"So Frank, you can turn into any animal, right?"

The question caught Frank by surprise. He shrugged. "Yeah, I guess so."

By that point they all knew a pointless question would leave Leo's mouth.

"So could you do, like, Hello Kitty?"

"What?"

Percy snickered at Leo's ridiculous question. Jason simply rolled his eyes. Of course Leo would be the one to ask.

Leo honestly didn't see the big deal. It was a fair enough question. But now Leo had to have some fun with it.

"You know, Hello Kitty. Oh, or maybe Swiper the Fox from the show about the annoying Mexican girl. And what about Kermit the Frog?"

Percy's snickers escalated to laughs at the look on Frank's face.

"Um, I guess, maybe. But why would I want to do that?"

"You wouldn't. Leo's being an idiot," Jason stepped in.

"C'mon Jason, I asked an honest question!"

Jason rolled his eyes and threw his chair cushion at Leo. It hit him in his face, like Jason had intended for it to. Leo held it up triumphantly and added it to his chair.

"C'mon Leo, give it back."

Leo shook his head. "Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!"

And that's what started it. Percy scrunched up his eyebrows. 'That's from a song Annabeth likes."

"It's from The Three Little Pigs, genius," Frank shook his head.

"Well yeah, but it was also in a song. I swear it was something about chinny chin chins."

"Wait, how did it go?" Jason asked, forgetting about the cushion.

"I don't remember exactly, but the beginning sounded like a video game or something."

Jason sat up. "I know what you're talking about. Piper likes that song, too. Did Annabeth make you watch the video?"

Percy rolled his eyes. "Oh my gods, yes. Did you see that guy at the very end?"

"It was like the Call Me Maybe video all over again," Jason nodded in agreement.

Leo looked up from his phone, a grin on his face. "I believe the song you two are referring to is called Kiss You."

Percy lit up. "That's it! And there was those guys on a motorcycle, and that one guy in the sidecar, and in the car the steering wheel was on the wrong side. And that guy had waterwings when they were surfing."

Leo nodded, the grin on his face growing even wider. "Alright Jase, what do you know about this?"

Jason shrugged. "I remember the surfing and the cars, and they were in jail at one point, and the only blonde guy had a trombone."

Leo looked closer at his phone, and then back at the Praetor. "How did you know that?"

"Piper acted like it was the start of an apocalypse or something. 'Oh my gods he is so adorable! Only he would bring a trombone to jail!'."

Leo could barely hold back his laughter. "Piper sounds nothing like that. I still think my imitation is better."

"We've heard it plenty of times, Leo. Both of you are far from her voice," Frank disagreed.

Leo looked back down to his phone. "Quick question: do you guys even know who you're talking about? Like, by name?"

Percy and Jason both shook their heads. "No, but I could recognize them," Jason admitted.

Leo scrolled through something. "Okay, listen to this: 'with a sign on my back saying 'kick me' reality ruined my life'."

"That's from another one of those songs! And they start spelling in it, I think." Percy said.

Leo nodded. " 'Would he say he's in L-O-V-E'? is that it?"

Jason scowled. "Again with the blonde guy. It's like Piper pays more attention to him than to me."

Percy nodded in agreement. "You're telling me! Annabeth is obsessed with the other short one."

"What other short one?" Frank asked, hopelessly confused.

"You know, that one that dresses like a pirate. And he dyed his hair red or something for charity," Percy tried to explain.

Leo was trying to speak through his grin. "You mean for Red Nose Day?"

Percy nodded. "Yeah, that thing! Jason did you see the video for the charity song?"

Jason crossed his arms. "Yeah. Once again with Blondie in the shower. I swear Piper's gone farther with him just by watching that video than she has with me."

That time Leo couldn't hold back his laughter. He had held it in for so long it wasn't even a laugh, it was a cackle.

"That's just sad, bro."

"Do I even want to know what was in that video?" Frank asked.

"You probably do, if Hazel has similar music interests as Annabeth and Piper," Percy advised him.

"How am I supposed to know that?" Frank asked incredulously.

Leo looked down to his phone. "Tell me if you've heard this: 'I'm the foolish one that you anointed with your heart'."

"That's the other one Annabeth likes." Percy said.

"Yeah, I think Hazel does like that song," Frank agreed.

Leo scrolled down and smirked. "These are the next lyrics: 'What a mess I've made upon your innocence'."

"What?" Frank asked in disbelief.

"Exactly!" Jason agreed.

Leo clicked on something else, chuckling. He read it momentarily, and then nearly howled with laughter. "This song is practically an invitation to bed. 'I want you to rock me, rock me, rock me, yeah'."

"Yeah. Oh, what do you know? That's Blondie's freaking solo. Do you know what this is doing to me?" Jason asked.

"Wait for it: 'R-o-c-k me again, r-o-c-k me again, r-o-c-k me again'."

"Do you hear this?" Percy asked. Jason nodded.

"What's the big deal? It's one song." Frank said. The other two boys looked at him like Seriously?

"I don't get why they even like those guys so much." Jason complained.

"I know! Who says something like 'I like girls who eat carrots' and gets millions of girls? Annabeth cracked up laughing when she saw that. If I said something like that she'd call me a Seaweed Brain." Percy whined.

"Girls who…what? Am I missing out on something?" Frank asked.

"Video diaries. And the whole 'No Jimmy protested' thing. What's so funny about that?" Percy continued.

"Did you see the energy juice thing? Who does that? And they're energy drinks. Unless they were spiked, there is no way a Monster could do that," Jason shook his head.

Percy continued his rant, "Did you know their manager gave stripes guy a Red Bull when they first met? What kind of an idiot does that?"

Frank looked back and forth between the two, hopelessly lost. "Who's Jimmy? What's the deal with Red Bull?"

"Did you see the quote-unquote 'nip slip' pictures? For the gods' sakes they're doing it on purpose!" Jason continued, caught up in the moment, ignoring Frank.

Percy leaned forward in his seat. "No, this is the best part Jason: that entire little clique of girls refers to that other guy Annabeth likes as Mr. 10 Inch. As if I don't know what that means! Do you know how insulting that is?"

Leo laughed so hard that flames danced through his hair. "I can't do this anymore. I can't believe you guys are obsessing over One Direction."

Percy and Jason went silent. Neither of them wanted to speak. Percy finally cracked, though.

"One…One Direction? Those British guys?"

Leo looked down to his phone. "Actually Blondie, as Jason calls him, is the only Irish one, according to their fanbase."

"You cannot be serious." Frank said.

Leo nodded. "Yeah. The two Annabeth likes have steady girlfriends. However, Blondie is single."

The four boys sat in silence. Frank broke it about a minute later. "What's One Direction?"

Leo shook his head. "Just look it up, man." And then he lit up. "I have an idea. Come with me."

The three boys followed Leo, curious as to what he'd do next. Leo nodded his head toward the girls, who were sitting at the dining pavilion, deep in conversation. The four boys crept a little closer.

"And the caption said 'This is why we can't have nice things'!" Annabeth said. All four girls started laughing.

"That's hilarious. Have you seen Louis's red hair yet?" Hazel asked.

Annabeth showed the girls her own phone. "It's my lock screen wallpaper, what are you talking about?"

"Ooh, what will Percy think?" Piper teased.

"Our picture is my home screen. And have you shown Jason your lock screen picture yet?" Annabeth asked.

Piper shook her head. "Oh Hades no. One does not simply show their boyfriend a picture of Niall Horan in the shower!"

"Even though you made him sit through the video?" Katie Gardner asked. All of the girls began laughing again.

Leo led the boys toward the back entrance of the camp store. Travis Stoll was trying to pick the lock on it.

"I thought I might find you here." Leo said. Travis whirled around. He relaxed when he saw the boys.

"Oh, it's just you."

"You know how you're kind of tired of being single?" Leo asked, jumping straight to the point.

Travis's face flushed. "What? No, no. I am perfectly happy being single and ready to mingle!"

"Just like you were at the beginning of summer," Percy pointed out.

"Anyway, I have an easy ticket to an easy girlfriend." Leo continued.

Travis finally looked interested. "Really now? Who?"

"Gardner." Leo answered.

Travis forced out a sarcastic laugh. "Oh, oh my gods, aren't you just the funniest person in the whole ding-dang world? She'd kill me."

"Not if you asked her one certain question," Leo was fighting back a smirk. He so couldn't wait for this.

"Which is what exactly?" Travis asked.

"Ask her if she remembers summer '09. She'll be yours like that," Leo snapped to prove his point.

Travis looked at the other boys skeptically. "And this isn't some sort of trick?"

Frank held his hands up as if to say I have no idea. Percy shook his head, agreeing with Frank.

"I honestly have no idea. Just remember whose fault it is if she tries to skin you alive," Jason told Travis.

"C'mon Stoll, think of it as a dare. If it works, you get a girlfriend. If it backfires you can pass it off as a joke," Leo laid his offer out on the table.

Travis studied the four boys for a minute, and then nodded. 'You drive a hard bargain, Valdez. Where is she?"

The five boys began to approach the pavilion. Leo had a smile plastered on his face the whole time.

"You didn't tell me I'd have an audience," Travis muttered to Leo.

"You didn't ask," Leo replied as Travis made his way to the girls. Leo and the other three boys hung behind to watch.

"…I just think that people shouldn't hate on Eleanor so much!" Hazel was saying as Travis approached.

All of the girls turned and gave him the look: Why are you here, OMG, go away, nobody likes you, what do you want, this is an A/B conversation so C your way out. Yeah, that look.

"Can we help you?" Annabeth asked, trying to relieve some of the tension.

"I just wanted to ask Katie a question real quick," Travis answered.

The girls all looked at each other having a silent conversation: What does he want? Is he going to ask her out? Oh my gods he better not. What did he and Connor do now?

"Y'know, if he had green eyes he'd sort of look like Harry," Piper mused.

"Oh my gods he would!" Hazel agreed.

"Except even he's not stupid enough to date Taylor Swift," Annabeth said.

"Annabeth!" Piper scolded.

Annabeth shrugged. "What? Don't get me wrong, she's okay, but I lost a lot of respect for her after the Grammy's."

"So did I but you don't see me calling her stupid," Piper pointed out.

"Right, you call her worse things." Annabeth agreed.

"Can I ask my question?" Travis asked.

"I'm waiting." Katie said, stopping the other girls from continuing their conversation.

Travis took a deep breath. "Do you remember summer '09?"

The girls stared at each other with a whole new expression. Leo started laughing from where they were. Percy and Jason gave each other a side glance, like what did we let him talk Travis into? Frank was watching the whole thing, wide-eyed.

"Well then," Piper said, breaking the silence.

"Excuse me?" Katie asked, her cheeks pink.

"Do you remember summer '09?" Travis repeated.

Hazel put her head in her hands and began silently laughing.

"Okay, now let me ask a question: do you know what you just asked?" Annabeth asked.

"I just asked if she remembers summer from 2009. What's so bad about that?" Travis asked.

"He doesn't even know!" Piper spoke, starting to laugh as well. Hazel looked up and had tears streaming down her face from laughing.

Katie shrugged and stood up. "You say he could be Hazza? Fine then. I'll be Taylor."

Katie then proceeded to grab at a nerve near Travis's neck. He fell to his knees, losing feeling in his legs.

"What the Hades?" Travis complained. He could hear Leo cackling a few feet away, and he better start running now because as soon as I regain feeling in my legs he is dead meat.

Katie pushed him onto his back and looked down at him, smiling. "Now you're lying on the cold hard ground."
