Chapter 11

Annabeth and Calypso split up when Calypso decided that it was high time for lunch. Annabeth politely declined, stating that she wasn't hungry yet. Instead, she ducked into her room.

"Look out for blueberries!" Annabeth called back at Calypso. Calypso groaned in exasperation as Annabeth grinned and shut the door.

She headed over to her desk and pulled out her newest design, studying it with a critical eye. Those windows were too large. She grabbed her eraser and a sharpened pencil and set to work. The world disappeared, and Annabeth sketched with a feverish frenzy that she only entered when she was in her element.

Her stomach rumbled. Annabeth glanced up at the clock and noted that time had whipped by, and it was now twelve-thirty. And that her head was aching. She reluctantly stood and went in search of food and Advil.

Annabeth entered the mess hall to discover Percy and Leo engaged in a blue cupcake eating contest and Calypso looking pretty normal by comparison as she ate her soup. Percy grinned devilishly at her, while Leo's smile was downright demonic as he shoved three cupcakes into his mouth at once. Annabeth rolled her eyes and filled her bowl with a salad, engaging Calypso in non-prank related conversation.

After she finished, Annabeth grabbed a glass and filled it with water. She then walked into the sickbay, where all the medicine was located.

There, she found Piper spoon-feeding Hazel some nectar. "She exhausted herself a little bit during the last prank." Piper explained after Annabeth raised her eyebrows in question.

Annabeth scanned the shelves and located the bottle of Advil, getting it down as Piper asked Hazel: "Better?" Hazel nodded. She then pointed at Annabeth. Piper glanced over and shrieked. "Annabeth!"

"What?" Annabeth frowned at Piper. Piper's eyes widened. "But-but your nose...oh. Good one Hazel. I guess you are better." She laughed.

Hazel smiled as Annabeth looked quizzically at her. "I made your nose a pig's nose." she explained. "It's better now."

Annabeth laughed. "Was that a prank?" she teased. She placed her pill in her mouth and swallowed, washing it down with the water. She watched in amusement as Hazel practiced her Mist powers and turned all the medicine bottles into stacks of bacon and back again.

Urp.

"Huh?" Piper looked around wildly. "Who burped? Was it the boys?" She turned on the charmspeak. "COME OUT, COME OUT, WHEREVER YOU ARE, LEO!"

"Who said it was Leo?" Hazel objected, but Annabeth raised her hand. "No, it was me. I must've gotten sparkling water by mis-urp-take."

Not immune to displays of immaturity, Piper and Hazel started to giggle. Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Oh urpplease." That made Piper snort.

Frank popped his head in. "Hazel, are you alright?" Hazel nodded as Annabeth let out a loud URP. His eyes widened as Piper stuffed her face into her shirt to keep from bursting out into laughter.

"I think I URP know who's responsi-URP-ble for URP this." Annabeth muttered. "You can URP laugh if youURP want to."

Piper, Frank, and Hazel obliged, snorting with laughter as Annabeth marched out of the sickbay and into the mess hall, burping with every step. As she walked, her burps morphed into loud, pushy BRAAAPS.

Leo and Calypso immediately stopped talking as Annabeth entered with a scowl on her face. Percy continued shoveling cerulean pizza into his mouth.

"Uh...bye." they said in unison, and quickly stood and bolted. Calypso did so with grace, pushing her chair in before sprinting out. Leo shoved the last of his burrito into his mouth before managing to knock his chair down, shatter his plate on the ground, and smack into Calypso. He turned crimson and muttered a quick apology in Spanish before hurrying away.

Percy watched the whole scene unfold, and laughed. "They don't know how perfect they are for each other." he told Annabeth, causing both Leo and Calypso to yell, "SHUT UP, PERCY!" from the seperate rooms they were in. Annabeth burped in response. "BRAAAAP."

"Ah, I guess you're wondering about the burping. As I'm sure you well know, Calypso is the only one on the ship who can actually use magic to change orders on the plates. But I am a son of Poseidon." He folded his hands and grinned innocently up at her.

Annabeth came up with a few retorts, but all that came out was a zesty combination of urps, braaaps, and a couple of bleeeeeehs.

"Ooh!" Percy clapped his hands in excitement. "I'm sure that was you cussing at me!"

Annabeth decided not to speak. She nodded grimly.

"As I was saying, I am a son of Poseidon, and I can make the water very, very special. I can make any liquid carbonated, or vice versa. When you summoned a glass of water in the mess hall earlier, I made it so carbonated that you wouldn't be able to ever stop burping. Frank and I tested it so much, and it was hilarious. But we found the perfect formula, and now you won't be able to stop burping for about fifteen minutes."

Unable to stop herself, Annabeth cursed loudly in Greek at him. "URP BRAAAAP BRAAAAP BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP Di Immortale- BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP."

"Ooh, feisty!" Percy laughed. "I look forward to hearing that when you are able to speak."

That was it. She drew her sword and lunged at him in one lightning-fast movement. Percy didn't even bat an eye as he drew Riptide to counterattack and blocked her drakon-bone blade. "You really need to stop being so obvious." he said with a crooked grin.

"URP you." Annabeth told him. She started to storm out, but tripped on one of the shards of Leo's broken plate, and stumbled out the door, burping the whole way.

She met Jason in the hallway. "Hello, Annabeth." he said a little warily. She didn't blame him. "Urp urp URP." she answered, with what she hoped was a pleasant smile. Jason's eyes became the size of dinner plates and his mouth tightened in what was obviously a held back laugh.

"BRAAAAAAAAAAP."

That set him off. Jason laughed so hard that Annabeth was almost certain that he would wet his pants. She didn't check, instead frowning at him and storming away.

Annabeth walked into her room and locked the door. She groaned and sat down at her desk with her latest project, but the magic was lost. The inspiration was gone. She siilently cursed Percy since she couldn't actually speak with all the burping.

Then, Annabeth burawned. That is, she burped and yawned at the same time. Not a very pleasant experience. Her eyes started to droop. Well, she had stayed up until four in the morning last night, waiting for someone to come in and clobber her with shaving cream.

She argued with herself about the benefits of taking a nap, but the instinct to rest overcame the instinct to not do anything that would put her in jeopardy of being pranked in her sleep. She stumbled over to her bed and collapsed on top of the covers.

The burping was starting to die down. Maybe if she slept, it would stop entirely. Worth a shot.

Annabeth immediately fell into a blissfully dreamless slumber.

When she awoke fifteen minutes later, feeling utterly refreshed, her ears were filled with the sound of Frank screaming his head off.

Haha! Cliffy! I hate reading them, but I love writing them. It makes me feel evil…muahahaha. Ahem. As you've probably guessed, next chapter will be Frank, so let me know if you have an idea for him. :) My name is Blackberry Explosion, have a great (bulldog) day! (If you are one of the two people who I know will get that, good for you)
