Chapter 10

Percy's POV:

I had finally arrived in the Big House but I still couldn't believe it. Rhea was the prankster? Had she finally woken up from her deep slumber? When I was about to knock I stopped. Chiron had to be alerted yes, but the gods had to know as well. I fished out a drachma and created a mist right in front of the Big House's door. I muttered the words for Iris and the mist shimmered into a picture.

Luckily for me all the gods were present. They were having a meeting and Zeus was talking about his lovers with Hera.

"Hera dear, it was just a prank that happened to be on your cabin." Zeus tried calming down his wife. "Anyway that was a few days ago."

"I AM IMMORTAL ZEUS THAT WOULD TAKE CENTURIES TO ERASE FROM MY MIND!" Hera screeched back in response.

I flinched but it was Poseidon who noticed me first.

"SON!" Poseidon boomed out happily.

Fourteen pairs of eyes turned at me. Everyone was doing they're own thing once they saw it was me: Aphrodite was filing her nails. Ares was glaring at me with his eyes seeping with hate. Hephaestus was fiddling with pieces of metal. Apollo flashed me a very bright grin which nearly blinded me (literally.) Hermes gave me a thumbs up. Artemis was shooting at random targets in the throne room but I could hear her saying 'men' in disgust. Dionysus was looking very bored and finally I knew where he had gone off to. Demeter was eating cereal and was forcing the others to do the same. Hestia was tending the flames but had smiled at me. Hades was just staring at me. Hera looked at me with hate. Zeus was looking at me in suspicion. Athena was looking at me like I'm still not good enough for her daughter. And lastly Poseidon was beaming at me with pride.

"Well nephew?" Zeus asked, his normal loud voice on. "State your business."

Since I had only three minutes left I explained the situation.

"Well, I had one half of my wall covered with only one word my dyslexia could read." I explained. "REA."

Zeus reacted because his mother had woken up but Poseidon reacted completely differently.

"My cabin is covered in ink? NOOOOOO!" Poseidon howled.

"Well," I licked my lips nervously. "At least I think."

"You think?" Athena asked. "You know you can never be so sure that-"

"Don't worry son we'll be right there." Poseidon interrupted.

He had teleported immediately but the other gods frowned.

"Stupid Sea Spawn." Athena muttered under her breath.

"We?" Artemis asked.

Poseidon returned, "yes, we."

"Mother is rising, so yes I agree with Poseidon." Zeus said, then added quickly, "for once."

The other gods and goddesses grumbled but obliged and a few seconds later all the gods had teleported right in front of the Big House where I was standing a few seconds ago. All the noise had caused Chiron to come out.

"Who is it?" Chiron asked, and then froze.

He bowed and stood up seconds later.

"What is the problem?" Chiron continued.

"It seems that my nephew has received a threat from dear mother of mine." Hades grumbled.

"Rhea?" Chiron asked, shocked.

"Yes," Zeus continued for Hades.

"Let's go, I want to see my cabin!" Poseidon said and marched off.

The other gods and goddesses followed and all the campers stared. It must have been a weird sight: Me in the middle of fourteen powerful beings.

I sighed and opened the door. It was the same sight like before and I pointed to one side of the wall.

"See," I said, pointing. "There, it says REA."

The gods looked at it and for the first time, Athena laughed.

"What's so funny?" Poseidon demanded, and then looked at the other side. "OLIVE TREES ARE THE BEST."

"Perseus Jackson!" Artemis shouted. "Is this a trick!"

"N-No!" I stuttered. "See it says right there: REA."

By now we had caused quite a crowd and the campers pointed and stared at me, the gods, or the walls.

"Seaweed Brain what did you do now?" Annabeth demanded.

"Someone wrote on the walls and it says REA." I replied, still confused why Artemis thought this was a trick.

"Nephew your dyslexia had acted up again!" Zeus thundered. "It says 'OLIVE TREES ARE THE BEST' in both English and Ancient Greek."

My face must have been turned scarlet but just then the realization dawned on me. I had never really synced in what the words had meant. OLIVE TREES ARE THE BEST was the prankster's way of saying Athena is way better than Poseidon. I groaned in frustration and banged my head on the wall. Meanwhile both campers and gods alike all commented.

"This room is messy." Artemis said, shaking her head at my mess.

I had to agree with her on that one. All around us were dirty clothes and my things all thrown on the floor.

"Eat cereal to get stronger bones!" Well we can all guess who that came from.

"Gods Seaweed Brain. Rhea? Seriously?" Annabeth asked me incredulously.

"We know when Rhea is rising. We don't need to be told by a mere demigod." Hera said in disgust.

"You thought Rhea was the prankster Percy?" Thalia asked me, laughing. "Have you ever seen her when she wrote on your walls?"

She cracked up again.

"This was a waste of time, in the meantime..." Zeus said, using that loud voice of his.

He teleported back to Olympus and the other gods followed except for Athena and Poseidon.

"Whoever the prankster was, I like how they put that special touch to it!" Athena commented at the walls.

But Poseidon, basically being an older version of me, didn't get it until much later.

"Thank you Athen- Hey!" He shouted.

Athena smirked and teleported away quickly. Poseidon did the same but not before giving me a hug.

"Thank you son, for saving the humans from a few thunderstorms. In the meantime, try to clean this up." He thrust his hands around the cabin and I closed my eyes as he disappeared in a sea breeze.

I was attempting to figure out what he meant by that but the campers interrupted my thoughts.

"What was that all about Percy?" Travis and Connor asked me innocently.

Gods if only I had figured out that it was them...

"Come on Percy." Chiron said, interrupting. "Do what Lord Poseidon says and clean this up."

He trotted out of my room with all the campers following him until only Thalia was left, still laughing. Annabeth dragged her out, rolling her eyes. When everyone had left I sighed.

A/N: Do you guys know what a Mary Sue is? I always see those and I was wondering... Also can you guys tell me if you want any cabin pranks to fail or be a success.
