Chapter Two: Splash Free!

10.53am- Your friend sounds like he's going to experience a rather awful demise. Any particular reason why?

10.55am- He was just being dicky, the usual with him basically. He got one of the school fire hoses and drenched me.

10.57am- Yikes.

10.58am- Sounds WET.

11.00am- Very. So he's going to die, no warning or anything.

- Wrong Number, Chapter One


Percy vaulted over a railing, eternally glad that he went to a military school where athleticism was practically mandatory. He could hear Jason cursing behind him and he laughed, knowing he was currently winning the prank war that they had been waging for the past six months. It was a good feeling, winning, even if it wasn't everything. Percy just hoped Annabeth didn't see this, if she did, she would never date him and that was not something Percy ever wanted to think about.

Oh, and look, there was the trusty fire hose he was looking for! Whoever had designed this place kind of messed up, putting it right near the field. Shouldn't it be inside, where a fire would be? That would be safer.

He quickly turned on the hose, keeping the nozzle off so he'd be able to tell when Jason arrived. He knew he would come after Percy. After all, dumping a tub of shaving cream on someone tended to make them angry, and Percy knew Jason would be angry. This was so much better than Jason's 'I'll steal all your blazers and hide them around the school' prank (okay, maybe it wasn't better, but Percy really was running out of options and he needed to do something.)

He heard Jason's voice around the corner and grinned wickedly, turning on the nozzle.

"Jason, I fail to see what I'd need to be on the field for…"

Percy's eyes widened. Shit, Jason that idiot had brought-

"What the actual fuck! Turn this stupid thing off you bloody dickknob, what the fuck do you think you're doing?!"

-Nico.

This was bad.

Percy was now faced with a seething 5 foot 6 seventeen year old, which was a lot scarier than it sounded when that person was Nico di Angelo.

"Jackson," Nico said slowly, his voice low and dangerous and holy shit Percy was so fucking dead. He wanted to punch Jason, the smug asshole, smirking right there like that. "Why did you just blast me with a fire hose?"

Percy squeaked, he didn't care if it was unmanly. "I was just pranking Jason back, I didn't know he would shield himself!"

Nico glared even more. "Grace."

"Itwasn'tmyfaultPercystarteditIgottagobye!" Jason bolted and Percy took the distraction as his own chance to run, leaving Nico to heavily curse at them both, still dripping wet.


BONUS:

"Why would you use him of all people!?"

"I didn't know you were going to spray it straight away!"

"I thought you were supposed to be really brave and shit, why would you even need a shield in the first place?"

"Ladies, please, I am trying to play Animal Crossing in peace."

"SHUT UP LEO."

*yelps, sobs, begging ensues*

"Please don't kick us out, Nico is scary, I'm sorry, Leo…"
