*Chapter 1: Percy*

Grover, Travis, Connor, Chris, Nico and I were in the bathroom filling up water balloons for a prank on the girls.

"Are you sure this will work?" Connor asked.

"Of course," Travis said. "This plan can't possibly fail." Connor scoffed at his brother.

I could think of a million reasons how it could, but I didn't say them out loud. So I filled the balloons in silence as Travis and Connor argued.

"This year, Nico gets to be part of the fun," Grover said, smirking at Nico.

Since Nico's girlfriend Rose - long story - had joined the enemies (aka the girls) that means Nico gets to join us. Since the girls won the Prank war last year - don't ask, but I'm sure the girls will brag about it later, so just stick around - we have been planning our victory for this year. Unfortunately, so have they.

The girls, Clarisse, Rose, Katie, Juniper and my girlfriend Annabeth, were strange these last few days, being really sweet. We knew they were up to something, so we were going to get them before they got us.

And in case you're wondering, no, we are not filling up the balloons with just water.

Once the balloons were filled, we walked out of the boys bathroom, trying to look as casual as possible.

"Travis, you're supposed to look casual!" Grover said. I heard Connor, Nico and Chris burst into laughter behind me, and I looked back. Travis had two water balloons in the front of his shirt, making him look . . . well, like a girl.

Chiron, with his bow-and-arrow in his hand, passed. I saw him shoot a double glance at Travis.

"Chiron," I asked, "where are the girls? Annabeth, Clarisse, Juniper, and Rose?"

"They just passed," Chiron said, still staring at Travis. "Said they were doing something important."

Travis took out the water balloons and hid them behind his back. "Were any of them, um, holding something?"

"No," Chiron said, "Why?"

"Just wondering," Connor muttered. "Thanks." We hurried off, almost ran to my cabin.

"You don't think the girls are getting ready to do a prank of their own, do you?" Grover panted.

"I don't know," I said. "But I wouldn't put it past Annabeth to come up with something smart."

"So we're just going to hide out in your cabin, and then what?" Nico asked. "Go out and find them?"

"Annabeth knows we'll go looking for them. So we're going to wait until their guards are down."

"You do realize that we're going completely off chance here?" Chris said.

"Yeah, I know."

Almost there. My cabin was a few yards away, and no sign of any of the girls. I didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

"This is stupid," Connor said. "I am not afraid of a bunch of girls. I'm not going to hide out-"

"Don't you get it?" Travis said. "Annabeth is Athena's daughter. She's smart. She knows what we'll do. So we have to do the unexpected."

"But what if she expects we'll try to do the unexpected and expects us to hide like wimps?" Chris asked.

I thought about it. "Okay, one: thanks for the major confusing headache. Two: knowing Annabeth she'll probably expect it, yeah, but she won't know for sure unless one of us was really stupid and obvious. And three: is it just me, or does something not feel right?"

"Yeah, I know what you mean," Travis said. "Here we are, out in the open, and no sign of any of the girls? It's making my hair stand on edge."

Nico shuddered. "The sooner we get to Percy's cabin the better."

I rolled my eyes. "Come on, guys. You're not seriously afraid, are you?"

"You should talk!" Grover scoffed. "I can feel your emotions. And should I remind you of what happened last year? With your boxers and the spray paint-"

"Okay!" I said quickly, cutting him off. My face burned. "No need to bring it up! It was bad enough when Annabeth took that picture. Anyway, I mean, we have the upper hand. We have Nico now, right? The more people the better."

Travis rolled his eyes. "Geez, Percy. You really are dense. They have someone new now too, remember? You know, Nico's girlfriend Rose? Yeah, her. She may not be Athena's daughter but she is pretty dang smart."

I was about to answer, but we'd reached my cabin. I pulled the door open and we huddled inside.

"Phew," Connor said, sighing with relief. "We made it, thank Hermes. We're safe."

"Not quite," a voice said, and we froze.

Slowly, we turned around. Nobody was there.

I swallowed. "Annabeth?"

"No, it's Nobody," the voice said.

"That's a relief," Connor said. "I thought somebody was really there."

Travis groaned and face palmed. "Dude . . ."

The air shimmered. Then Annabeth appeared, her Yankees hat in her hand.

"Surprise," she said. Suddenly the cabin door closed. The lights came on, and standing behind us holding water balloons of their own was . . . .

"Oh nooooo!" Grover clawed at the door, but it wouldn't open.

"Grover, open it!" Travis screamed, but it was too late. Katie pelted him with water balloons. Then we were all dripping wet with . . . something that wasn't water. I knew it wasn't water because I couldn't dry myself, and the smell hit me like a ton of bricks.

"Eww! Annabeth, what is this?" I asked, wrinkling my nose. I couldn't cover my nose with my shirt because my shirt was soaked with the stuff.

"This," Annabeth said smugly, "is payback for making us walk around camp in our underwear and bras with eyeliner drawn all over us."

"Yeah? Well, we've got some payback of our own!" Travis shouted, throwing his balloons at Katie, who ducked.

"This is for spray painting my boxers pink!" I said, tossing my balloons at Annabeth.

"I'd watch it, Jackson!" she said, throwing a blue balloon at me and hitting my chest. The balloon exploded in my face. "I've still got the picture!"

I paused. "I thought you said you deleted it!"

"Nope." Annabeth smirked, and I had to admit, it made my heart thump. Even pelting me with non-water filled balloons she looked beautiful.

Oh gods, did I really think that? My face felt hot.

"We ran out of water balloons!" Travis said. "Okay, okay! You win!"

The girls cheered.

"Girls: one. Boys: zero," Rose said, grinning lovingly at Nico.

"Boys are so stupid," Clarisse snorted.

"And too easy," Katie added.

"Oh, and by the way," Annabeth said as they turned to leave, "That stink won't go away unless you bathe in tomato juice."

"Why tomato juice?" Grover asked, wild eyed. "I thought that was only for when skunks . . . oh, man!"

"Aww, dude." Travis shed his shirt and threw it as far from him as he could. "They pelted us with skunk funk!"

"That's low," I told Annabeth.

She gave me a smile. "All's fair in love and war." And the girls left, pinching their noses to block our stink. It wasn't until after they were gone that I realized two things: the door was locked after we'd came in and that none of us hit a single girl with our water balloons.

"They play dirty," Chris said, peeling his soaked shirt off his skin. "But I've got a plan. An idea that can't fail. Well, actually, it could. It could go horribly wrong."

"Oh yeah?" I said. "I hope it's better than Travis's ideas."

"Gee, thanks, Percy," Travis said, rolling his eyes.

"You're welcome," I reply.

"Anyway," Chris continued, "after we bathe in tomato juice and get this funk off of us, we'll try my plan. Now, here's what we're gonna do . . ."

*Sorry this took so long. Been busy. Review! If I get enough reviews I'll continue this, but I've been having doubts. If I get . . . eh, at least 10 reviews, I'll have chapter 2 up by monday. That's a promise.*
