Don't own.

AWW, I FEEL SO HAPPY! I mean, I just posted this on the first and already made like, 70 (and possibly still counting!) views! YAY! So I decided to try and make you peoples happy and write it faster! . . . I should do that for my other story Carved In Stone . . . ugh. Writer's Block sucks. Fact of Life.

. . . moving on, enjoy the new chapter of Prank Wars!


It has been days (well, actually, only four days) since the Stolls made that bet. They made the bet in secret—so, naturally, the entire camp found out[*]. So far, no one's pulled a prank on anyone.

"CONNOR!"

. . . until now. Let's rewind and see what happened.

Travis

I was just waking up, after writing down some of the most awesome pranks that popped into my mind. I didn't open my eyes yet, but I just walked to the bathroom, stepped over an unclaimed kid (he came just yesterday), brushed my teeth, and went back to my bunk. I didn't look in the mirror. I figured I'm so hot already, it'd be just awful to throw out all the other dudes in camp for girls. Except for Katie . . . .

Ahem, anyway, that was mistake number one. I put on my camp shirt and shorts. Unfortunately, I didn't see the smirk on Connor's face. Mistake number two. I walked outside, went to breakfast, etc etc. I didn't really notice how everyone was pointing at me and snickering (when I DID notice the pointing, I figured they were just amazed at how fantastiously hotastic I am). So, by about four, when it was time for canoeing, I looked into the water and saw something awful.

Pink hair. Pink hair. My hair was pink.

"CONNOR!" I yelled, walking up to him. He still had that smirk on his face, and said innocently (I taught him well), " Yes, big brother?"

I glared, but then I got an idea.

"Oh, nothing, nothing. I must say, I love what you've done with my hair," I said in a snooty girl voice (like, when you watch a movie about high school and there's that mean cheerleader chick?). "So, I like, figured I should return the favor!"

Connor raised an eyebrow. "One, when'd you turn gay? Two, what the Hades? How are you gonna 'return the favor'?"

"You'll see," I said, still using that stuck up voice. "Very soon." Connor was smart enough to look a bit creeped out (I had to admit, I was creeping myself out . . .), but immediately put on a face I knew too well: the, "I'm lying through my teeth so I look cooler and awesomer" face.

"Psh, you know you can't top me," he replied, "I'm gonna keep pranking until you can't. And it won't take very long."

Note: teach Connor better threats . . . after I win.

I rolled my eyes, and said (in my regular voice—cause frankly, I'm starting to worry myself), "We'll see about that." I raised my hand in goodbye, and turned, saying, "Later, little bro."

I had some chores to do. Insert smirk here.


After taking a shower (why did they have to be all the way to the big house—it means I have to cut through camp. Translation: everyone got to see my bright pink hair) and becoming the laughingstock of camp (for a different reason than I would've liked), I nicked some drachmas from the camp store (along with some stuff . . . just a bit . . . . maybe more . . . or a lot). Then I headed over to one of the most dangerous cabins in camp.

I walked up to the dark purple (navy-ish) cabin and warily knocked on the door. When it opened, I kinda flinched back, because you never know what the things people do in this cabin. When I saw nothing coming out, I looked at the thirteen year old girl in front of me.

She looked at me rather disgustedly, until she saw my hair, and her eyes widened. She slapped her hand over her mouth to block her snickers, but I just sighed and said, "Go on."

She immediately bursted out laughing, making her cabin mates/half-siblings come out and laugh at me too. Then when they calmed down (most of them at least), she sighed and wiped her eyes.

"Okay," she said, panting slightly, "what do you want from the prestigious Hecate cabin?"

I hesitated slightly (since you never know when these guys will stab you in the back) but decided there's no one else better for the job.

"I need a favor . . ."


That night, I was going back to the Hermes cabin, whistling with what I'm sure was a huge smirk on my face. I patted my pocket to see if it was still okay, and it was right there, goo and all. Connor stared at me oddly.

"What are you so happy about, Bubblegum?" he asked, crossing his arms.

"Nothing, nothing," I replied, waving my hand at him. "Nothing at all."

He stared at me warily, and opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by me yelling, "ALL RIGHT, LIGHTS OUT!"

One of my younger bros (I think his name is Josh . . .) stared at me and raised an eyebrow.

"Really?"

I rolled my eyes and said, "Psh, course not. Have you ever known us for actually following the rules?"

Then everyone else promptly started laughing, and starting playing poker, pickpocketing their sibling's junk, etc. Ah . . . I taught them well. They tried to get me to join, but I declined, saying I need to rest up for a prank tomorrow. Connor looked wary of me again, but let it go.

I brushed my teeth, and laid down on the bed (what's the point of changing your clothes when you're just gonna wear them again tomorrow?). I smirked, looking at the vial the Hecate cabin had given me. It cost me ten drachmas, two packs of soda, and a lot of candy, but they did it. I hope. I put it back in my pocket, and had one last thought before going to sleep.

Sweet dreams, Connor. We'll see who'll chicken out first.


Gods, I've gotta update sooner! I'll work on it, I swear it! Though, not on the Styx, I don't wanna burst into flames any time soon . . . . so anyway, HERE'S THE CHOICES AGAIN!

1. Travis wins

2. Connor wins

3. They tie with the EXACT same amount of pranks at the end of the month

OR

4. They both get sick of it and give up

* Guess where I got that from! Just lemme know in that review you're gonna give me (wink wink) and I'll happily read it (nudge nudge)! And if you got any prank ideas I can use, please lemme know, cause I gotta lot, but I MAY run out! Again, you can PM me or put that in your review (wink)! Thanks for reading, and I'll try to update soon!
