3rd Person POV

Leo was bored. Really, really, mind-numbingly bored. At camp right now, it was their free time. Usually, he would be tinkering with a machine or, annoying Nyssa, or playing around with his fire powers, having fun, or actually doing something. Currently, he was laying on his bunk, staring at the ceiling, fingers tapping on his leg.

"Ugggghhhhhh..." Leo groaned.

And maybe the gods took pity on him, because a brilliant idea popped into his head. One of the most brilliant of brilliant ideas. And that brilliant idea was to prank someone. Specifically, Piper McLean. Was there any reason behind it? Not really, Leo was just bored. But the thing is, he wanted some help with this. Also a person that he could share the blame with if something went wrong.

So Leo picked up a drachma from his bedside table, and grabbed the prism that the Hephaestus cabin used to make Iris Messages. He ran over to the bathroom, and created a rainbow.

"O, Iris, Goddess of the Rainbow, please accept my offering."

Leo threw the drachma into the rainbow, and it disappeared.

"Show me Percy Jackson at Camp Half Blood."

The image shimmered, and it showed Percy talking to a couple fish in the lake.

"AY! PERCY!" Leo yelled into the image.

Percy turned around, annoyed. "Dude. What? I was in the middle of something."

"I had the most genius idea. I want your help." Leo said, grinning.

"Uh huh." Percy was unconvinced. "What was this genius idea? And why do you need my help?"

"We are going to prank someone. Someone being miss Piper McLean." Percy's eyes lit up.

"Okay. Gimme a sec." He turned back around to the fish, and said something quickly. The fish swam away. "Alright. What exactly is in this prank?"

"Not one prank. A bunch of pranks. I have no idea what a good chunk of them are gonna be yet. I do know that this is gonna be fun. Come over to my cabin."

"Okay. See ya there, Valdez."

Leo swiped through the message, and Percy disappeared. Holy Zeus. This was gonna be great.


Piper woke up late the next morning. She glanced at her alarm clock, which didn't show anything. Weird. She picked it up, inspecting it. Turning it over, both the cover to the batteries and the batteries themselves had been removed. In the batteries' place were... two rolls of Smarties.

Was this some sort of joke? Piper thought.

She was gonna find out who did it later. Piper looked at Lacy's alarm clock. It read 8:55.

8:55?! Swords practice starts in 5 minutes!

She frantically threw open her closet door. Piper jumped back in shock as hundreds of ping pong balls flooded out. She slipped on one and fell ungracefully to the floor. Trying to get back up, Piper slipped again, and fell flat on her face.

Ouch.

"Oh my gods, Leo." she said aloud, realizing what was happening. "I'm gonna murder you."

Murdering would have to wait, because she was still sprawled on the floor. Slowly, Piper got up, and got her clothes on. She walked towards the bathroom and opened the door. Hundreds of tiny plastic army men were standing in different places in the bathroom. On the sink, the mirror, the bath, the toilet paper, everywhere. She kicked them over to make a path to the toilet. They didn't budge. Probably superglue.

"Leo..." Piper huffed.

Pulling down her shorts and underpants, Piper sat on the toilet.

POP! POP! POP! POP! POP!

She jolted back up, falling onto the army men. Schist. That hurt. Little army men were pointy. Getting to her feet, she lifted up the toilet seat. Firework poppers.

Pulling up her underpants and shorts, she made her way over to the sink, careful not to step on any army men. In an attempt to wash her face, she turned on the sink. Blue cookies fell out. So Percy was in on this too, Oh, the both of them were going to get it. Piper groaned in anguish.

Stepping over the army men and out of the bathroom, she got her brush and stood by the huge mirror. Piper started quickly brushing her hair, and was about halfway done when she actually looked in the mirror. Half her hair was rainbow. She looked at her hand, which was rainbow too.

Enchanted hair brush that makes everything it touches rainbow. Those. Little. Idiots.

Piper stormed out of her cabin, not giving a schist that everyone was staring at her. She sprinted over to the Hephaestus cabin.

"LEO VALDEZ AND PERCY JACKSON I SWEAR TO THE GODS ABOVE YOU ARE DEAD TO ME!" she yelled as she threw open the door.

The rest of the seven were facing two huge screens, but turned to look at her. The two large screens showed... her cabin? Leo and Percy sat in two large leather chairs.

"Oh, no." Leo and Percy said simultaneously. Leo pressed a large button that opened up an archway on their side of the cabin. They shot out of the chairs, and raced through the archway.

"RUN RUN RUN RUN FREAKING RUN!" Leo shrieked.

And run he did. Percy quickly followed suit. Piper chased after the two.

"LEO! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" Percy yelled.

"WELL, IF YOU HAD SAID NO, THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED!" Leo retorted.

"THE BOTH OF YOU ARE DEAD. ONCE I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, JUST, AHHH!" Piper let out a scream of frustration.

At this point, the rest of the seven and a good chunk of the camp had come out to watch. Their saviors, the people who stopped the world from being destroyed were absolute children. But, that was okay.
