Skylar Grace struggled to keep herself floating against the ceiling. She was lying against the ceiling in a horizontal position with her arms spread out. She concentrated a little more so that she wasn't bouncing up and down in the air. It was hard to master her powers at the age of six.

Her plan was simple and possibly crazy, when her dad came home from work and stepped through the door she was going to plummit to the floor and attack him. That would be her April Fools prank for him. She had already scared her mom earlier that morning.

The only reason she had been able to come up with this prank is because once, when she and her cousin's had had a sleepover, their Uncle Percy had told them all about their parent's adventures about the wars or about Camp Half-Blood. She had learned a lot about insane ideas from him. Then her Uncle Travis and Connor had taught her all about pranks.

"Skylar! Skylar! Skylar where are you?" She could hear her mom's voice echoing through the house. Skylar knew that it was only a matter of time till her mom found her. She didn't know how but her mom always knew the right place to look for her. Like right now.

Piper Grace looked up at the ceiling towards her daughter. She wasn't mad that Skylar was up there, that had happened so many times before that she could care less now. What she was concerned about was why Skylar was up there.

"Skylar... what are you doing on the ceiling?"

Skylar smiled mischeviously. "I'm gonna prank daddy."

Usually Piper wouldn't allow that but she remembered how much Jason had laughed at her when Skylar had pranked her and she decided that one little measly prank wouldn't hurt.

Piper heard a door slam outside and watched as Jason walked up to the front door. She smiled devilishly and went outside to greet her husband. After talking to him briefly about his day at work she went inside and Jason followed him.

Skylar took a deep breath and watched as her father walked across the living room. As soon as he was in a three feet diameter (she had learned that word from her cousin Sophia) of the kitchen door she was going to initiate (she had learned that word from Sophia's sister Lily) her plan.

Jason's shoulder tensed momentarily as he walked into the living room. He glanced up out of the corner of his eyes to see his daughter floating against the ceiling. What was she doing up there? Was she going to prank him? That had to be it.

He decided to act like he hadn't seen her and go through with the prank because Skylar would be happy if he did. He glanced at his wife to see that she had seen him looking at Skylar. Piper smiled at him and he could see that she was hoping that he would go through with the prank.

He sighed. Little kids were never easy to take care of. Hewalked towards the kitchen. He could practically feel Skylar's grin enlarging.

Ten feet...seven feet...four feet...two feet...

"The little Baron lives!" Could be heard being shouted from Skylar's mouth as she plummeted to the ground. Jason looked up and feigned surprise as his daughter landed on his chest and drove him to the floor.

"Oh no! I'm being attacked by martians from the god Mars! Piper help! They're tiny deadly little things! Run! Run before you get attacked too!"

By this time Skylar was sitting on top of her dad's chest and laughing hysterically. "Daddy! It's only me!" Then she pouted. "Hey! I'm not tiny! Or a martian!"

Jason pouted and sat up, rearranging Skylar on his lap so that she couldn't fall. Piper sat next to Jason and smiled at him knowingly when Skylar wasn't looking. "You tricked me didn't you? That was a cruel trick Skylar."

Skylar looked up at her dad in surprise. "I'm sorry... I didn't-" She was interrupted because her mom picked her up and started tickling her. When she tried to use her powers to float away her dad grabbed her out of the air and continued the tickling fit.

Last chapter until next time. I'll be back next weekend with a new chapter.
