Setting Up Shop

Chapter 1: Incidents

A/N: Hello readers! Please enjoy this story made from my imagination about a store set up in Olympus! I hope you enjoy it!

DISLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS.

Travis POV:

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Connor Stoll asked looking at the Pegasus-driven chariot filled with fireworks.

It was the Fourth of July and we felt the need to volunteer for setting off the firework celebration. And because of my daredevil and mastermind mindset, I came up with the genius idea of shooting the fireworks out of the chariot while it was flying. Dangerous? Yes. Amazingly epic and awesome? Of course!

I nodded, smiling, "Trust me, this will be awesome."

Connor shook his head, "I know we've done crazier things, but this one is actually life-threatening to us. Anything could go wrong at any moment."

I scoffed, "The others weren't life-threatening? How was setting the Demeter cabin on fire not life-threatening?"

"I meant life-threatening for us!"

I laughed, "Well, it's always good to try new things."

"Where did you even get the chariot?" Connor asked.

"Let's just say that the Apollo cabin would never dream of me stealing the chariot." I said, grinning.

Connor's eyes widened in realization, "You put the whole cabin to sleep?"

I nodded, smirking as Connor high-fived me, "Genius!"

We had put the chariot in the forest where no one would ever think we were hiding. As I attached the fireworks to the chariot, Connor calmed down the two Pegasus, feeding them sugar cubes.

Finally, it was about time for the fireworks to start. Connor said he saw the campers assembling at the shore and were about getting settled.

"Now's the time to go." Connor said.

He hopped on the chariot as I held the reins. Connor took out his firework-igniting-device, a blowtorch.

Connor looked at me skeptically, "Do you even know how to fly this thing?"

I shook my head, "But it's always good to try new things, right?"

The last thing I heard was Connor screaming his objections and curses as I got the Pegasus to fly us in the air.

As the Pegasus shot through the air, I was screaming in joy. My adrenaline was pumping.

Behind me, Connor's eyes was shut tight and he was muttering prayers and curses towards me.

"Connor, we're almost over the beach, get your butt out there and start setting off fireworks!" I yelled over my shoulder.

"No! I hate you!" I heard him yell.

"Give me the blowtorch!"

He shook his head, hugging the blowtorch like a teddy-bear. "You're going to blow us out of the sky!"

I groaned and tied the reins to the chariot and reached over to Connor. He bit toward my hand.

I drew my hand away like a ninja, "What the heck? You tried to bite my hand!"

"Anything to stop you from killing both of us!"

I made a gesture that made it look like I was offended, "You didn't even think about the flying horses." And I made a move toward the blowtorch.

He pushed me away and turned on the blowtorch, "I'm going to burn you if you make another move."

"Why did you come if you didn't want to do this?"

"I thought you knew how to fly this and I realized how stupid this idea was!"

I laughed, "Bro, we're the definition of stupid. We prank for a living!" I reached toward the blowtorch, "Now give me the freaking blowtorch."

He moved away and accidentally moved the flame over some fireworks. The fuse-line of the firework set on fire and he looked at me with eyes of total fear, "Oh crap."

The fireworks shot off, shaking the chariot violently and scaring the Pegasi. We watched as the firework set off over the beach and watched as the audience clapped and pointed.

Suddenly, another firework shot next to the chariot, it wasn't ours.

"The camp is setting of their fireworks!" Connor screamed.

The camp was setting off their official fireworks, it seemed that if I didn't blow us out of the sky, the camp was going to do a pretty good job downing the chariot.

Another firework set off right in front of the horses, scaring them. The Pegasi dived down, heading toward empty campsite toward the Big House.

Connor was panicking so much, he set the wall of the chariot next to him on fire. Luckily, I planned this out. I got some parachutes out and grabbed Connor as we jumped out of the falling chariot. I opened the parachute and we landed safely in the canoe lake.

Unfortunately, the chariot didn't have a safer landing. The Pegasi got away before they hit the ground, but the chariot (which was now on fire thanks to Connor's fine pyromaniac act) landed right into the heart of the Big House. And because the chariot was on fire, the Big House exploded in a fine show of all sorts of colors as the fireworks were set off.

The only thing in my mind? We're doomed.

Two hours later:

Percy's POV:

Dionysus was pissed, really pissed. Who could blame him? Where the Big House used to be established was a big crater. We all knew who did it, but they looked guilty enough that no one mentioned their names.

"TRAVIS AND CONNOR STOLL!" Dionysus yelled.

Chiron came over to Dionysus and said, "The boys will be disciplined. Hermes asks that you refrain from killing them."

Dionysus was breathing heavily, "If I were not bound by this punishment in Camp Half-Blood, I wouldn't have hesitated a second to turn them into grapes and crushed them under my feet!"

Chiron simply nodded, "It's just a setback, Dionysus. Zeus has told me that for the time being, you may stay in Olympus until the Big House is built again."

Suddenly, Dionysus's countenance changed to joy, "Well then, I'll be off. My request to you Chiron is to take as much time as you can in rebuilding that building."

He disappeared in laughter.

Chiron turned towards the camp, "As you know, due to the actions of Travis and Connor Stoll, our Big House has been destroyed."

The campers all looked around to see where the two brothers were, but they were nowhere to be found.

Chiron continued: "We would rebuild it, but unfortunately, the funds needed are not available to us. And that is why I have an idea:

"I have asked Zeus if we could make a sort of store in Olympus to get the funds needed. A group of demigods, consisting of Travis and Connor Stoll and volunteers, will lead the store and will stay there for the time being until the sufficient funds are accumulated."

Immediately, I stepped up, "Chiron, I volunteer."

"Me too," Annabeth said, stepping next to me, "by the way, the fireworks show was amazing this year."

Nico from behind the crowd yelled, "Include me in on it!"

Chiron nodded, "If there are any more volunteers, please meet at the Big Hou – that's right. Please meet at the Poseidon cabin."
