Exams are the worst?! Just telling you guys that all my chapters are 1100-1300 words long and actually aren't getting any shorter really. Another reminder that this is something I do for fun and I actually don't dedicate a lot of time to this. I'll probably stick to the frequent one shot after this. I will try to make these notes shorter though. But another thing I should tell you guys is that I go to a really hard school so I don't have a lot of time for this and I had five exams in three days and I seriously needed to study for them.

The game would be the next day after lunch so the four boys went to their cabin and started to get ready for bed. They noticed that Nico didn't have anything with him other than a few cards and figurines for Mythomagic. So Travis and Connor decided to steal a few mandatory things from the camp gift shop. Something that was necessary for almost every camper that came to camp since most of them didn't get a chance to pack beforehand. Yet there was always something that the children of Hermes did when it wasn't summer. Travis and Connor had tried to convince Will to do it with them but Will didn't really feel comfortable participating in the scheme. But when they proposed the idea to Nico and he agreed Will suddenly wanted to.

Since they didn't actually have matrasses, only sleeping bags, they would steal some matrasses from the other cabins with less people in them.

"Why don't we just take some from a cabin with no one in it?" Will asked as they planned it in the Hermes cabin.

"Because it's disrespectful to the gods and we'll all get turned into hamsters or something," said Travis.

"The Zeus, Poseidon, and Hera cabin are obviously off limits."

"And there is no way we're stealing from the Ares cabin."

"Too many people in the Artemis cabin obviously."

"There's no one in the Athena cabin or the Apollo cabin."

"The Hephaestus kids do all sorts of weird things with their cabin so the matrasses will probably blow up or something."

"Sooo..." said Travis with a raised eyebrow to the boys.

"Demeter cabin it is!" said Connor as the brothers started to run out the door.

Will wasn't exactly fine with stealing from Katie's cabin but since she was the only one staying at camp it was okay. He and Nico looked at each other and both subconsciously decided to follow the Stolls.

The bothers were looking into the empty cabin, there was only about fifteen minutes until curfew so they had to act quickly. The door was unlocked so they went in that way but they would be caught if they carried the matrasses out that way. So they decided that Will and Travis would lift the matrasses outside through the windows and Nico and Connor would carry them to their cabin from the back window.

They put their plan into action as Travis and Will entered the Demeter cabin and started towards the empty beds. The whole room was filled top to bottom with vines, flowers, and other plants. Will was amazed that Katie was currently the only person to tend all them throughout most of the year. As he and Travis started to lift the first matrass out the back window he realized that they had no idea where Katie was, or when she would come back more importantly.

They were on matrass number two, Will and Nico were struggling to carry the same amount of weight as the brothers, considering they were both about a foot shorter and didn't have years of training at camp. But they managed to lift what they could and they were making good timing. There were eight minutes left.

"Where do you think she's coming back?" Will asked Travis as they gave the second matrass to the others.

"I don't know but we need to hurry." he said as he hastily started on lifting the third matrass and Will followed. "No, go start on the fourth one, and I'll finish this one." said Travis.

Will was struggling with the fourth mattress, he looked out the back window to see Nico struggling equally with his mattress but Conner was carrying most of it. He smiled at how even when Nico fell down from the weight he was still smiling and just so, so happy. Will had gone most of his life with his only friend being his mom and being bullied in school. Maybe Nico didn't have a great life before camp either, even if he didn't remember it, he was still really cheerful and full of joy. Something Will needed more in his life.

Will continued to drag the mattress across the floor as Travis threw the third one out to the others. They were almost done when-"

"TRAVIS!? What are you doing here you perv?!" Katie was standing in the doorway. Both of their ankles were suddenly wrapped around in thick vines. Will dropped the mattress, which ended up falling on Travis' foot, they had one minute left.

Katie took a look at the empty beds and then at the one that had dropped on Travis' foot. She sighed, crossed her arms, and said in an exasperated tone, "What in the name of the gods are you two doing?"

Will felt an over rush of guilt come over him, Katie was basically his best friend, he didn't want to do this in the first place but he was pretty sick of sleeping on the floor.

"Well, since Nico just came to camp we didn't want him to have to sleep on the hard floor and Will's neck has been hurting, and since you're the only one staying here we figured we could take four." Said Travis, knowing that Katie was bound to be a lot less angry if they were stealing for Will and Nico.

It seemed to work as Katie rolled her eyes and muttered, "Fine." But as she did a horn went of signaling curfew.

"Crap, crap, crap, crap." said Travis, he hastily picked up the mattress and looked outside, Nico and Conner were gone. Will scrambled to help him and eventually Katie began to help. They threw it out the window and Travis picked Will up and threw him on to the mattress through the window before jumping out himself. Will hurried to the Hermes cabin, not too far away, as soon as he climbed in to the window Conner immediately jumped out to help Travis.

Will and Nico looked out the window to have a view of the Stolls carrying the mattress at record speed, Travis looking shaken but not from the fact that they could get caught any minute.

Luckily they managed to get in with the mattress before coming close to getting caught.

Connor went to bed relieved and went to sleep relaxed. Travis went to sleep with an angered and pained look on his face that wasn't there a minute ago. Nico put his bed next to Will and they both went to sleep, their beds a foot away, and facing each other. He smiled and felt so happy that Nico would be staying at the camp for a long time with him.

I finally uploaded, thank you guys for not jumping down my throat for not uploading but I have been really busy lately. Also I've been having a lot of issues and other stuff going on. So thanks for reading and please review.
