My magical pony said that it was a good chapter. I hope your magical ponies think so too =)

"Zaidy, why do I have to be friends with the Stolls? They are so, not my type,"
"I know your type and you guys will be great friends,"
"How do you stand them? Especially when Conner tries to flirt with you,"
"Easy, I just say smooth with an extended 'oo' part, then get back to what I was doing,"
"So I just say smooth?"
"No, that's my thing, yours should be different,"
"Aright then,"
"Jen, thanks for doing this for me,"
"Anything for you Zaidy," Jennifer and the Stolls aren't exactly the bester friends. They can barely stand each other. And by they I mean Jen. She's not the kind of person, who forgives people on the spot like me, but she will do anything for me and I would just love to have them as friends. I knock 3 times on the door.
"What gives me the pleasure of opening the door for two fair maidens," Conner opened the door
"Slick," Jennifer said, but she emphasizes the 'ck'.
"What up Jenny," Travis said
"Hey Travis," she took a seat next to him awkwardly
"What's up with you?"
"Zaidy's making me be friends with you guys,"
"There's a start, you didn't call them Jerk wads," I helped
"She calls us Jerk w-"
"That's not the point," I cut off
"Well let's start at the beginning. My name is Conner," he held out his hand and Jennifer shook it,
"Like the hair supply brand, Con-air,"
"You just got stuck with a nickname for the rest of your life bro," It was true, from that day on she would call him 'hair dryer', 'hair brush', and sometimes even 'straightener'
"Well now I can call you Jenny or Jen when you call me 'Con-air',"
"Only my friends can call me that,"
"But I thought we were friends," Travis added
"He got you there Jen, no were to run and hide," she looked a bit like she was going to cry but in all shock she laughed out loud, which made me laugh followed by the Stolls.
"What are you guys doing?" Luke came through the door
"Just laughing,"
"Okay,"
"What do you guys want to do now?"
"We're always in the mood to prank. What do you say Jenny, you in?" Travis asked her to join
"Why not, but on which cabin?"
"It's still day time and a cabin would take an entire night. So the question is who?" Conner reasoned
"How about that Katherine girl she looks fun to mess around with,"
"Kathy! But she is one of my friends," Jen said
"Look Jen I now a good friends when I see one. Kathy will someday go bad, but we will always stick so what do you say?"
"Fine," she smiled
"Alright then we ne-" I started to say but I couldn't stay awake. I was just so tired.
"Zaidy, Zaidy, are you alright?" a familiar voice was saying. "She's waking up,"
"What?" my eyes were fully open and I was in the infirmary
"Zaidy, good to see you're awake,"
"Dad? What happened?"
"You fell asleep while we were plotting to pra-" Apollo gave him a look "ctice that one new song you showed us,"
"You were plotting to practice?" my dad asked
"Uh, got to go," Conner said before he and his brother zoomed out.
"What happened after that?"
"You fell asleep,"
"Why?"
"Well I'm your dad and I am the sun so you wake up early,"
"I get that but-"
"Your aunt Artemis gave you the most power out of the rest since she and your mother were good friends. So you also stay awake with the moon,"
"Ok, and?"
"You are going to be tired for the rest of your life,"
"But I don't feel tired all the time?"
"That's because you're happy and that cancels out the tired,"
"That's great,"
"Do you feel rested?"
"Yeah, why?"
"You slept through dinner,"
"Wow,"
"Tell your friend not to wake you when you fall asleep like that, stay happy, and you'll be ok,"
"Thanks," I got off of the bed and went outside.
"Zaidy!" the brothers started
"What!' I said with a smile
"You okay?" younger asked
"Yeah,"
"Well, it's our job to escort you home," Older took a hold of my left hand
"We both will escort you," Younger took my right
"If you guys don't mind," I slipped my hands out "holding hands is a bit too much for me,"
"But you hug us all the time," Conner said
"Well hugs are different than hand holding. Hand holding, for me, is way more than a hug,"
"Okay well here is your stop and night night,"
"Zaidy, what happened?" Jennifer asked
"I fell asleep and it's because part of me is sun and the other part is moon. So I'm always going to be tired, but since I am a happy camper it doesn't really affect me much,"
"Oh, ok,"
"Did you at least pull a prank on Kathy?"
"No, the Stolls were too busy thinking about you. They really care for you Zaid,"
"I know," I smiled wondering what Travis and Conner did.
"We're still going to prank her so stay put and I'll get the Stolls,"
"Alright," I learned recently that one of my powers is that I appear invisible to the harpies. Awesome power or what. 3 knocks as usual.
"Zaidy?" Conner answered the door
"We still need to prank Kathy so sneak out when you can and come to my cabin," I left them there. I opened my cabin door and Jen was on my bed with a note pad.
"I had an Idea,"
"What is it?"
"Yeah what is it?" the Stolls were climbing out of the window and landed on my bed which is on top of Jen's bed.
"Paint on her dresses with her makeup,"
"That's a little too harsh; how about hide her makeup,"
"Or use all of it to paint her face," Travis suggested
"That would be good but we need a way to cover it up so, shall we say hide it,"
"Sure,"
"Why not,"
"Ok, so our excuse will be that her makeup was scattered all over the cabin and we were just trying to clean it up,"
"Your excuses are awesome," Travis said
"Thanks,"
"Were do we hide it?" Jen asked
"The Aphrodite Cabin," The brothers said together
"It's perfect we say we didn't know who she was and thought all the makeup was from the only cabin that has more than the entire state of Rohde Island,"
"Nice so you hide it, make sure it all stays together and hide it in an obvious place,"
"Ok, night Zaidy. Night Jennifer," Travis left through the window
"Goodnight Travis and Con-air," Jennifer teased
"Bye Jenny!" Conner teased back
"Night boys," trying to end all this back and forth
"You too Zaidy, get some good sleep," Conner had the last word before I closed the window. Katherine is in for a surprise next morning.
(A/N: You could say Filler Chapter, but I could say a way to squeeze in information non-relating to the real story. Tell me what you think of all my OCs lol. Review and brush your dog's hair
