Okay, so this is basically a story I made up about some stupid pranks from the Stoll brothes! This is my first fanfic! Hope you like it!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** Percy's POV **
I'm so tired! I've just been working the ENTIRE morning at camp, with Charles Beckendorf from the Hephaestus cabin trying to get the stupid water system up and running again.
I guess I better explain.
See, earlier today (at like, 6:00am!), the Stoll brothers thought it would be funny to pull another huge prank. Usually, I like their pranks, they're really funny. But, this one wasn't funny to anyone. There's a shed near the Big House, and it's filled with water pipes, and equipment, and furnaces, (yea, it's a tricked out "shed"). Anyways, Travis and Connor decided to sneak to the shed and burst every single water pipe in there. They knew that whole water system connected to all the showers, and when I asked them why they did it Connor replied, "We wanted to get people freaked because they can't take their precious showers. Seriously, have you seen everybody around here? We've unlocked their 'inner baby'!" Then Travis and Conner did some secret hand shake thing, I had to laugh.
So, yeah. Chiron told me and Beckendorf we had to go and fix the water system, since he's good with mechanics, and I'm good with the whole "water" thing. But, I have to say, I'm pretty handy with tools too.
Earlier This Morning:
"Hey Charles! Can you hand me the wrench?" I asked.
"Sure thing, Percy!" He threw me the wrench. I caught it and began to work at the pipe until it was together again. Then I used my special powers to get the water flowing through properly.
I sighed, "Twenty-two down, like, three-hundred more to go." Oh, yeah! Didn't I tell you? In addition to the water system in the shed, the Stoll brothers totally destroyed the pipes right beside every cabin.
"Yeah. Those two really did it this time. I mean, their pranks are fun and all, but this. . . ." he shook his head, "I wish I could prank them back."
"Let's do it! Yeah, we'll prank them back!" I liked that idea.
"Really?" Beckendorf looked at me like I'd lost it.
"Nah!" I laughed at the thought. Trying to prank the Stoll brothers? Now that, would be a challenge.
"Ha! That's what I thought."
End of Flashback
But, right now, I'm in my cabin enjoying rest. For six hours I've been working, SIX HOURS!!! Chiron said we had exactly one hour to relax before we start back on the pipes again.
It was lunch time, so I guess we would have had to leave for a little while anyway. I wasn't hungry though, so I decided to go down to the beach and clean up there. (And yeah, that's what mean. Remember: no water from the showers!)
I took a single bar of soap with me, and on the way there, I wandered what Annabeth was doing. I hadn't seen her all day.
** Annabeth's POV **
Ugh! Those Stoll brothers are really getting on my nerves! They actually burst all the water pipes at camp. Now how is anyone supposed to take a shower?
Luckily, we have Percy and Beckendorf to get things back together. Speaking of Percy, I hadn't seen him all day, except once. He was working on the water system, and he had on a tight shirt that complimented his muscles, and abs, and…………Whoa! You didn't just hear that, right? Did I just think that?
Well anyway, I'm at lunch and I don't see him anywhere. I finished eating early, and began to search for Percy.
** Percy's POV **
When I got to the beach, I was surprised. There was like, no one there. Wow, I thought, I guess everyone is just using their cabin hose to wash off outside.
I laid my towel down, and began to take off my shirt, and then my pants ( I left my boxers on, of course!) and I put my clothes down next to my towel, suddenly glad nobody was here to see the show.
I raced into the ocean, with the bar of soap in my hand, and allowed myself to get wet. The water wasn't as cold as I thought it would be. The ocean always relaxes me, so I floated on my back a while, gaining some strength for the next work shift, and quickly began washing the oil stains off me.
** Annabeth's POV **
Jeez, Seaweed Brain! Where the heck are you? I've looked everywhere! Then I forgot the one most obvious place, the ocean! I mentally hit myself, I should have checked there first!
I jogged down to the beach. Lunch period would be over soon, so I had to hurry. When I got there, I looked around. Nobody seemed to be there. But then, something colorful caught me eye. A towel. I decided to put my invisibility hat on, so I could be sneaky. As I got closer, I saw somebody walking out of the ocean, heading straight toward the towel.
Wait a second……..is that….Percy? Then I saw what he was wearing. Oh. My. Gods. My mouth dropped, my eyes got wide, and if I wasn't invisible, you would have seen my face a bright shade of red.
** Percy's POV **
Well, I fell really clean, unlike most of the other campers. I walked around the shallow end of the ocean for a bit longer, then I started to head back to my towel.
As I inched closer to the shore I noticed my black boxer-briefs were very wet, and clinging to me. Man, I thought, I need to get to my towel and get my shorts on before someone sees me!
I started to jog to my towel. When I got there, I didn't put my shorts on just yet, I wanted to lay there and let the sun dry me off a little. I put my hands in the warm sand. It was a little windy, so it was kind cool watching little designs appear in the sand. Lots of shapes, and circles, and footprints appearing out of nowhere………..wait, what?! Footprints?

oooooh! Is Annabeth gonna get caught? Or the other way around: will Percy get caught? Or, both ways!!! Review!! Tell me what you think will happen!
