Terra left cabin 1, making her way towards the Ares cabin. She had to do something otherwise she would be lazy all day waiting for Nico to get there. It was Sunday and usually the campers didn't train on Sundays. But here Terra was, knocking on cabin 5's door. A short girl with red hair answered.

"Well, hello there airhead. What are you doing here so early?" Clarisse answered.

"First off, it isn't early, it's 8am. And two, don't call me airhead." Terra answered. "Wanna go train or something?"

"Ah, you must be waiting for Nico." Clarisse smirked at her friend. Terra was one of the few people at camp that could put up with Clarisse's attitude and not fight with her twenty four-seven.

"Pft. How can everyone read me so well?"

"You always do this when he visits. You have to go fight someone at the training fields because if you don't train or fight or do something you wander around camp aimlessly waiting for him to arrive. You do it every single time that little emo comes to visit. Speaking of" she said, looking Terra over. "You look kind of emo today."

"I just didn't feel like wearing the orange camp shirt today is all."

"Well it looks good on you, you don't look like you need more sunshine, anyway." Clarisse suddenly disappeared into her cabin and reappeared with her new spear which was a remake of her original electricity shooting spear that Percy had broken. "Let's go fight."

They walked out to the training fields, saying good morning to everyone they passed. They had even stopped so Terra could ask Leo if her brother had left with Piper yet and to make sure he knew where they were going. They spent the next two hours at the training fields, going over some new strategies and teaching each other some new moves. When they were done they split up, heading back to their perspective cabins to take a shower and get cleaned up. Soon enough Terra was leaving her cabin again wearing a new pair of jeans and a light blue tank-top that brought out her eyes. Now she really had nothing to do, she couldn't spend her whole day training and it was nearly 11. Nico told her he wouldn't get to camp till 3 at the earliest.

She let out a long sigh. "I wish there was something to do!"

"Wanna help us with something?" Asked a familiar voice. She turned around to find the brothers Travis and Connor Stoll coming up to her carrying boxes in their arms.

"Let me guess…pranking someone?" She said, eyeing what they were holding. Travis laughed.

"Pranking the entire Aphrodite cabin is more like it" Connor answered, smiling a big goofy grin which his brother mimicked. "What are you up to?"

"Waiting for Nico to get here."

"Hot date, huh?" Travis asked.

"She goes on hot dates with the son of Hades, all gloomy and what not, but she won't go on a hot date with me…how rude." Connor shook his head in disapproval.

"That's because last time we hung out just the two of us I ended up covered in purple slime and to this day you won't tell me what it was…" Terra replied, placing her hands on her hips and making an annoyed face.

"Well…that's how I let people know I like them, right Travis?"

"Yeah, every girl he likes gets covered in purple slime at some point. It's a tradition." The two boys cracked up and Terra smiled.

"Good to know I'm not the only one. So what's in the box?"

"Spiders, ants, caterpillars, centipedes-"

"All varieties of creepy crawlies." Connor said, keeping Travis from listing off every single type of insect and gross thing they had in the boxes.

"What did you do, hunt for these all night?"

"For the past week." Travis grinned. "Wanna help us put them in the Aphrodite cabin and watch them freak out?"

"Naw, I think I shouldn't. Chiron expects me to be all…mature and what not."

"LAMMEEEEE" Both brothers said in unison. "Come have some fun with us!" Connor added. Terra stood there thinking for a second.

"Okay, I have nothing to do anyway." Travis handed her one of the two boxes he was holding. She felt it shifting in her arms. "Uh- are there snakes in this one?"

"You're not afraid of them are you? I can give you the box of spiders if you want?" Travis offered.

"Uh-no, I think I will stick with the snakes, thanks though." She shifted the box in her arms to get a better grip on the shaking box.

A few minutes later they were in the bushed underneath the side windows of the Aphrodite cabin. It was bright pink and sickening to look at. Piper desperately wanted to have it painted a different color, but she hadn't been able to convince anyone else in the cabin to help her paint it and she didn't want to do it alone. Travis and Connor got the boxes ready. They opened up the set of windows we were beneath and peaked in.

"Still asleep, the bums." Connor commented.

"They need their beauty sleep." Travis said, emphasizing the word 'beauty' with a girly flip of his imaginary long hair. Terra giggled and handed Connor her snake box.

"So, just throw them in and wait for the screams to commence?" She asked the two boys.

"Yeah, basically. It is gonna be a blast! Lucky for us, it's Drew's bed that these windows are above." Connor gave Terra a sinister grin.

"If it is Drew then we should dump the spiders on her and try to throw everything else over her. She HATES spiders." Terra replied, returning Connor's evil grin. "I do feel bad about Piper though. She won't care so much about the bugs, but she hates snakes, and she is the one who is gonna have to deal with getting all these things out of the cabin."

"True, true. But if you are so concerned you can help her clean up after." Travis offered.

"Maybe you two should help out?"

"Naw, that would defeat the purpose of a prank like this."

"Not that they won't be able to guess it was you" Terra shot back.

"Not in a million years. Now let's do this before one of them decides to get out of bed." Travis said, lifting the box of creepy-crawlies over his head to the window. He tried to toss most of them over Drew. He succeeded for the most part, the snakes were next. Most of them made it over her bed as well, except for one, but somehow Drew hadn't felt the snake land on her chest. Then Connor stood up, ready to drop the spiders in. Unfortunately, one of the younger girls in the cabin had got out of bed to go to the bathroom and stepped on a centipede. She screamed…very loudly. Connor threw the whole box of spiders onto the sleeping Drew and we ran.

"Why couldn't that little beauty queen hold it for 5 more minutes?" Travis yelled as we ran into the trees across from the cabin. We each dodged behind one, taking cover from the Aphrodite kids that were now running out the front door of the cabin, screaming, flailing and jumping around as if they were being attacked by a swarm of bees.

"EVERYONE CALM DOWN!" Piper was yelling from inside the cabin. A couple kids walked abnormally slowly out of the cabin though their faces were mortified. Piper's words kept them from freaking out too much. And then Piper came storming out of the cabin. "TRAVIS! CONNOR! I KNOW YOU'R OUT HERE SOMEWHERE!"

"Busted." Travis said before peeking out from behind his tree. "Yo." He said to Piper as she spotted him and came stomping over to the line of trees.

"You better get in there and get those stupid little bugs out of my cabin before I MAKE you do it!" She turned and saw Terra who gave her an embarrassed wave and a smile. "You too?" Piper looked disappointed but these three were 4 years her seniors and had much more pull at the camp than she did. Not to mention more fighting ability and experience. What could she really do except hope they would feel bad and help her. She couldn't force them to do anything. "Well, haha, funny joke. Can you please get them out of the cabin? My charmspeak doesn't work on animals. Especially disgusting bugs and snakes."

Connor and Travis looked at each other then at Terra. "It was her idea!" They said in unison. Terra started cracking up and Piper crossed her arms.

"I wasn't born yesterday." Piper said.

"I'll help get them out. I feel bad that I fell into their horrible plan."

Both boys let out shocked gasps. "WE HAVE GREAT PLANS!" Travis shouted.

"Well whether or not you do is not important at the moment, what is important is that you get in there and help me get those bugs out. We got Drew good, but we can't leave Piper to clean it up alone."

"Fine, but only if you gimme a little peck on the check" Connor said, turning his face to the left and tapping his cheek. Terra walked over and gave him a quick little kiss, holding his face to the side because she knew if she didn't he would try to turn and kiss her lips instead.

"Now what are we going to do?" Terra asked.

"Clean the Aphrodite cabin…" The brothers droned.

Luckily it didn't take more than 25 minutes since Terra used to ability to manipulate the air to push the critters out of the corners. It took longer only because they had to try to keep the spiders and snakes from coming back in since outside was dangerous with all the screaming Aphrodite kids running around. After they were done Piper thanked Terra for being responsible and helping her out. Travis and Connor went back to the Hermes cabin to work up some more pranks to pull on people and Terra was, once again, left with nothing to do. Only another hour had passed. Still at least four more until Nico would get there.

"Why is this day going so fricken slow?" She shouted as she made her way towards the Big House. Maybe Rachel would want to hang out…
