A/N So sorry for the late chapter, I injured my thumb! DX It hurts! And I'm also not sure about the last chapter's Italian, since I found it on the web... A/N end

"Harry Potter," a cold, slightly maniacal voice whispered his name in the darkness. Harry shivered. This guy reminded him of... someone.

"What do you want?" Harry tried to put on a brave face. But since his voice cracked, it didn't make much of a difference.

The voice started wheezing. It took Harry a few minutes to realize he was laughing.

"Dude, you have really bad asthma. Your whole 'bad guy' image is pretty much ruined."

"You do not think this voice is sexy?" There was a tinge of metallic in his voice.

"Uh..." Harry was rather lost for words. "No."

Then he heard the man 'hmph'. This was continued by a rather sulky "What do you know?"

Right then, Harry's rather dense mind went 'ka-ping!'. "You're Darth Vader!"

Darth Vader sighed and said, "Thank you for stating the obvious."

Suddenly a young man who looked like a surfer with his sandy blonde hair and blue eyes appeared in a cloud of smoke. He frowned and looked around, oblivious to Harry and Darth Vader.

Darth Vader gave a little scream, which was quickly muffled. This did not go unnoticed to Luke, and he had turned around to see the... man with his odd helmet thing.

Darth Vader took a step forward. "Luke..." He pleaded, "I am your father."

Luke started yelling. "That's just wrong! My dad is Hermes!"

Darth Vader fell silent. "Okay... Then I'm your mother."

Luke shrieked and ran into the darkness.

Darth Vader sighed. "My sons always hate me."

Harry decided that this was just too weird, and decided to wake up.

Percy was jerked awake by an extremely loud snore from Alex. Fuming, he rolled off his bed and opened his door, wanting to get some fresh air. That was it. He just wanted some fresh air. Was it too much to ask for?

He was stopped by a very sharp thing poking his chest. He squinted into the night and vaguely saw the outline of a girl... Jade.

She smiled sweetly up at him, her dagger already cutting a hole in his shirt. "So. I heard you made Chopsticks cry?"

Percy gulped. "Well... I didn't mean it..."

The dagger poked his flesh. "I swear! I just asked her some questions!" Percy was getting desperate now, and tried to squirm away.

Jade grinned a maniacal grin. "Be afraid..." she whispered into Percy's ear. "I can smell your fear..."

Suddenly a cold wind blew past his shoulder and he was plunged into darkness. He whimpered, turned around and fumbled with the door knob. It gave away and Percy found himself lying on the floor, drenched in cold sweat, and praying to all the gods up there that Please, please, please don't let Jade kill him.

------

Chopsticks made her way to the forest. She liked talking to Nico. He had made a little cozy cottage near the forest, since he scorned having a Hades cabin built specially for him. And he thought that the campers were 'a bunch of thick-headed pudding people'. Chopsticks pulled her jacket tighter around her. Unlike Jade, she did not appreciate the cold, and would trade the North Pole for Hawaii any day.

She stepped carefully over dead branches and soon reached the door of Nico's cottage. Nico had told her that his dad had famous dead architects design the place for him. "It is a nice place," Chopsticks murmured.

She knocked on the door and soon Nico opened the door, letting Chopsticks pass. A fire blazed merrily in the middle, and Chopsticks gladly stretched her numb fingers towards the heat.

Nico grinned. "You've got a plan?"

"Yeah. A rather good one too, I think."

"Is that so? Anyway, who'll be the victim?"

"Not Percy, definitely. Jade already has got her claws in him."

"And so...?"

"I was thinking of asking the Stoll brothers to prank Harry Potter. That damn angsty kid. He needs a good spanking." Chopsticks' face changed into a scowl. "He's such an asshole."

Nico nodded. "I've read the books before." He said slowly.

Chopsticks brightened up considerably. "So here's the plan..."

Edward Elric, the short chibi blonde, woke up in the stables with Envy next to him. He rubbed his eyes and yawned. Envy opened an eye and closed it again. "Chibi..." he muttered, oblivious to the death glare Ed was giving him when he mentioned 'chibi', which means short and cute, which meant that the green-haired cross-dressing palm tree was implying that he was short.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO TINY THAT YOU NEED A MAGNIFYING GLASS TO SEE HIM?!" Edward screamed into Envy's ear, causing the palm tree to jerk awake and cover his ears.

"I never said that," Envy retorted.

"YOU IMPLIED IT!"

"You're loud."

"I'M NOT SHORT!"

"No one said you are."

"YOU DID!"

Envy raised his eyebrow. "If you keep on screaming like that I'll have no choice but to knock you out."

Edward opened his mouth and shut it again. He's been on the receiving end of Envy's punches too many times to doubt that Envy would do exactly as he said.

Envy gave Ed a cheerful grin. "Let's go feed the horses, Edo!"

"WHAT?!"

"I like horses." Envy pouted and gave Ed the puppy dog face.

Ed twisted his mouth. "Well... Alright. I guess it wouldn't hurt." How wrong he was.

-----

10 minutes later the two boys came running out of the stables, with a bunch of horses chasing them. Blackjack was especially pissed, since Envy had decided it was fun to pull his tail. Unfortunately he was faster than he looked, and avoided Blackjack's flying hooves completely. Not even a graze.

"ENVY!" Ed yelled over the thundering of the horses' hooves behind him.

"Yes, o-chibi-san?"

"I HATE YOOOUUUUUUUU!!!"

"I know. Love you too."

------

Chopsticks skipped all the way to breakfast the next day.

Jade looked at her oddly, but then decided to turn back to her food.

"You seem happy."

"Mm-hmm!"

"What's up?"

"Ah.." said Chopsticks with a twinkle in her eye, "that's a secret."

Jade arched one eyebrow. "Has it got anything to do with pranking Percy?"

"Uh... No, not really..."

"Okay. Not interested."

Chopsticks flashed Jade a grin. "But make sure you have time tonight. We have a little party..."

Jade blinked, looked up at Chopsticks, stuck her tongue out at her, and went back to her scrambled eggs and ham.

Chopsticks got up and left, walking briskly to meet the Stoll brothers. "Okay, you two." She said when they came within earshot. "Everything's ready. You guys got it?"

The two brothers nodded, grinned at each other, and gave Chopsticks two thumbs up.

Ooh, Harry will be in soo much trouble.

Annabeth was in a foul mood from the minute she woke up and saw Percy. She had whacked him in the head, ignored his "OW! What was that for?!" and hogged the bathroom. Now she sat outside the arena, scowling at Percy, who was training. It was obvious Percy was distracted, since he kept dropping Riptide and allowing Clarisse to hit him more often than normal. And Clarisse didn't find any fun in attacking a spineless Percy either.

"Oi Prissy! Get your armor up and moving, will you? You useless sponge cake!"

After apologizing profusely, Percy fumbled about with Riptide again, caught Annabeth's glare, faltered, and decided to rest. He capped Riptide and walked slowly towards Annabeth, leaving an annoyed Clarisse hurling insults at him.

"Hey."

Glare.

"Annabeth..."

Scowl.

"I'm sorry?"

Snort.

"Please?" Percy sighed.

A rather rude hand gesture.

Percy blinked. Whoa. Annabeth is really pissed.

"Annabeth? Are you okay?"

Grunt.

"Look, I apologize for whatever I may have said or done to insult you this badly, and will you please just talk to me?"

Silence.

Percy sighed and was about to give this up as a lost cause when Annabeth grasped his sleeve.

"I forgive you." Was all she said.
