I'm back and updating! I think I let you guys down so I'll try and make it up to you. Please don't kill me, or even worse, stop following. There's really nothing much that I'd like to share. I changed my username… again. Sorry, my friend wanted me too. I also recently discovered that This Means War! reached 6,060 views. To some people, that might suck, but I really appreciate that so many people are taking the time to read this story. Therefore, hence a celebration! (throws my mom's caramel-filled cookies)

Sorry, this chapter might be a little long… The last couple of chapters of this story will be longer than the others since I'll be doing different pranks all at once.

Travis P.O.V
Pink! Pink! PINK! Hahaha! This is great! And no, if you think I'm going rainbow(gay), then you're wrong. Connor and I are currently 'redecorating' Nico's gloomy room. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Okay, you're probably confused. Let me back up, and I mean back UP. (Imagine me putting one finger in front of me and rolling my head in that way girls do and popping the 'p')
2 hours ago…
"Connor! Hurry your butt up! We need to get going!" Okay, you see. I was yelling at my bro to hurry his butt up because we had sneaked out of the infirmary. Why? Good question. At this point, everyone was at the arena watching our opposing teams arm-wrestle. Yes, I repeat, arm-wrestle. As in, Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, and Nico, arm-wrestling. Yeah…no. I am not explaining that story because it's too hardcore for me to comprehend. Connor and I were currently hauling pink paint buckets, cardboard boxes full of My Little Pony, Barbie, Polly Pocket, and Littlest Petshops (Is that what you call it?) shirts and pants of every shade of pink there is on the planet. If you're wondering who these boxes and paint is for. Give you a hint, lightning and death. If you haven't got it yet, I'm concerned for you. Yeah, they are so not going to like this and we are most likely roast demigod. You can just see that on the Go To Hell menu (so original). But it'll all be worth it. Hopefully. I set the paint buckets down and got to work. In no time, the walls of the Hades cabin was a bright neon pink with My Little Pony stickers. I snickered as I thought of Nico fainting on the spot from all the pink shorting his brain out. Next, Connor put all Nico's clothes into a trash bag and filled his drawers with half of the pink clothes we had (definitely not stolen from the Aphrodite cabin, psh, what you talkin' 'bout?). Next we went to the Zeus cabin, we had done the exact same thing here as we did to the Hades cabin. I shuddered as I thought of Thalia flipping out, and I mean flipping out, when she saw that her Green Day t-shirts were missing. Gods, what are we getting ourselves into? When we were done, Connor and I stood back and marveled our masterpiece.
Back to present…
Suddenly… we heard voices and footsteps. Connor and I froze. As the voices got closer, we partially heard what they were talking about.
"-telling you! I totally won!" Thalia.
"I know but you got to except that Percy was kind of holding back on you…" Nico's voice faded out. Crap! Does that boy want is death to come early?
"Excuse me? That boy did no such thing! You should have seen the strain in his face! (A/N I just realized that I made Percy sound constipated…)" Thalia exclaimed. There is no way in heck that Nico is going to win this battle.
Nico sighed defeated, "Yeah, I guess you're right."
"Boy, you know I'm right!" she said matter-of-factly.
Just as the knob started to turn, Connor and I darted into our own hiding places. Me under the couch (don't ask how I fit) and Connor in the closet at the top if the shelves that were in there. I peered from under the couch to find Thalia pressed up against the wall with Nico eating each other's faces off. I took all my willpower not to gag. Connor had a disgusted expression and shielded his eyes with his hands. Finally, FINALLY, they stopped and smiled at each other. Great, now we have another Percy and Annabeth! Then Thalia looked around the room with her eyes widened. She screamed bloody murder and lightning shot off of her. Oh crap. She ran to the closet and her fists clenched when she saw all the pink.
"WHAT. THE. HELL!" Nico was all like: O.O and Thalia was all like: ):O (A/N I used parenthesis because the little sideways carrot-looking thing doesn't show up on here). "NICO!"
"Uh… uh… y-yeah?" he stuttered. I think all the pink was shorting out his brain.
"GO CHECK YOUR CABIN! NOW!" she orderly, might I add, very loudly. He ran to his cabin hurriedly.
Then it happened. Moans and rumbling was heard from outside. Thalia ran outside which gave Connor and I a chance to run. We ran silently out of the cabin to a sight that would make the boogeyman run for his life. Skeletons and zombies were angrily running around. The ground had tons of fissures in it and the sky had turned a dark grey. Campers were screaming and freaking out as the undead chased them. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Thalia running to the Hades cabin. Excuse me while I go crap my pants. I grabbed Connor's arm and dragged him with me after Thalia. We could see that Percy and Annabeth were doing the exact same thing. We arrived and saw Nico standing in the middle of the cabin. You're probably thinking, 'So?'. Well, Nico had this black aura around him. His face was deathly calm (no pun intended) but his eyes were the scariest. They portrayed an angry, almost insane fire, and showing dead souls swirling around his pitch black irises. Black fire lit around his feet and curled around his now clenched fist. Then a fissure that reached from Tartarus cracked open at his feet. Then the weirdest thing happened. Thalia walked up to him and slapped him, HARD, across the face.
"Wake up, dumbass!" she yelled. He looked over at her slowly.
"Whoa, now let's not get too hasty, guys," Percy tried to reason.
"Don't give me that look, boy! If you want to get punched the next time then you keep doing that. Oh, and no more kisses for you!" She said the last part while walking out the door. Nico hurriedly snapped out of his demon mood and ran after his girlfriend.
"Wait, Thals! I didn't mean it! I'm sorry! I won't do it again!" Nico was practically whining. There goes his man card…
Percy, Annabeth, Connor, and I stood there stunned. Until Annabeth spoke up.
"What in the name of Hades just happened?"
"I don't know but remind me to not get Nico too angry next time." Percy.
"Wuss…" I said under my breath. Percy snapped his threatening gaze over to me. Oh (censored).
"What did you just say? Stoll." At each word, Percy stepped towards us. Annabeth just stood there with a smirk.
Connor and I were out of there like bullets while screaming like little girls with an angry Percy after us. Isn't my life just amazing?
I was going to stop here but I figured that would be kind of cruel since I haven't updated in a while. I'm just going to do two more parts that are from Annabeth's and Nico's p.o.v's taking place around the same time as Travis's. Enjoy!
Annabeth P.O.V
I was happy. Why? Well, Percy and I's arm-wrestling challenge had ended early after I beat Nico. He is younger than me, but then again, that really doesn't matter how old you are really because being a demigod puts a lot of muscle on you. Anyways, since the challenge ended early, that gave Percy and me enough time to set up another prank for the Stolls, since they were 'injured' and all. Yeah, injured my butt. Percy and I didn't have time to plan, so we improvised. We went to the camp store and checked it out if it had any better than the best pranking material. The end of our prank war was coming soon and we would have to blow their minds. Then I found it. Okay, you know how in movies when they find their dream car or person? And then it has like this golden aura shining around it? Yeah, that was kind of how it was for me.
"Percy! Percy! Come here!" I shouted.
"I'm coming! I'm coming! I'm here!" he said in a horrible impersonation of me. I glared at him. "I mean, yes, Wise Girl, I'm here."
"That's better."
There sitting on one of the shelves was… actually it was several objects but, okay, back to the point. There sitting on the shelves was (cue dramatic music)… rope, blindfolds, and plastic knives. I know the last one might sound odd but you'll see why they'll come into use later. I thought the prank over in my head.
"Percy… *whispering*…" I whispered him the plan. There is no way I'm saying out loud so that you can tell the other teams.
"You're a genius!"
"Tell me something I don't know."
We proceeded to take the items and left quickly after putting some drachmas at the currently vacant cashier. I rushed with Percy to his cabin and we set down the merchandise. We thought it was better to put all prank materials in there since he was the only one who occupied it. Our prank was not one we could set up so we would just leave the stuff in the cabin for now. I leaned over and gave Percy a peck and he looked over with a warm smile. He leaned in to give me another kiss. Right when our lips were millimeters apart, the ground trembled and moans and the sound of bones clacking was heard from outside. Percy and I ran out of the cabin and we were faced with enough of the undead to fill Hades' army outside. The zombies and skeletons chased the campers around. The sky was a dark grey. That wasn't what caught my attention though. It was the dark aura that surrounded the Hades cabin that did. Apparently Percy saw it too because both he and I raced to get to the cabin.
"What do you think happened?!" I yelled over all the screaming.
"Either Thalia died or they were recent victims of the Stolls' pranks!" he yelled back. I'm guessing probably the latter since I saw Thalia tearing her way to Nico with an enraged expression. Yep, she's alive and healthy. Nothing to worry about. She's just out enjoying the fresh air and being herself.
Percy and I ran in through the already open door to find that the Stolls were already there. My eyes drifted from the over to where Nico stood with Thalia nearby in the center of the cabin. My blood ran cold. Nico looked like a whole different person. His black eyes showed a kind of insane madness and the souls of the Underworld swirled in circles around in his irises. Black flames made a circle around him and coated his clenched fists. A dark aura flicked around him in a way the resembled a flame. Then the most shocking thing happened. Thalia went up to him and slapped him hard across the cheek. His head jerked slightly to the side.
"Wake up, dumbass!" she yelled at him. He looked over at her menacingly.
"Let's not be too hasty, guys," Percy tried to convince them. Ah, what a peacemaker. He's a keeper, guys.
"Don't give me that look, boy! If you want to get punched the next time then you keep doing that. Oh, and no more kisses for you," she said the last part while turning back slightly before briskly walking out the door. Nico immediately snapped out of his death trance and ran after her.
"Wait, Thals! I didn't mean it! I'm sorry! I won't do it again!" Was Nico…. whining? What has the world come to?
We all, minus the two lovebirds, stood there trying to let everything that just happen sink in.
"What in the name of Hades just happened?" I asked, to no one in particular.
"I don't know but remind me not to make Nico too angry next time," Percy said.
"Wuss…" I heard Travis mutter under his breath. Oh, they are in a heap of crap now. Percy whipped his head over to where Travis was standing. My point proven.
"What was that? Stoll." Percy edged towards the brothers while I just stood there with a smirk. Travis grabbed Connor and ran out of there before Connor could even protest. Percy tore after them in a half-second yelling profanities in Greek. Awww, so he really does listen when try to teach him things.
Just wait till tonight…
Okay! That was Annabeth's p.o.v and now I present you… dun dunna duuun! Nico's p.o.v!
Nico P.O.V
(Censored)! I can't believe that I lost against Annabeth! And she's a girl! Don't tell her I said that or my life will end quickly. I was currently sulking silently while Thalia rambling next to me about how she 'totally won'. No offense to her but she didn't. Everyone could see that Percy held back.
"…I'm telling you! I totally won!" was the last thing I heard before we reached her cabin door. I turned the knob and I thought I heard some noise. Nah, it's just my mind getting to me from Thalia's talking. Don't get me wrong, I loved her and all but she's way too competitive. We stepped inside when Thalia was about to start talking again. I quickly backed her up against the wall and put my lips on hers. If you ever want to shut someone you like up. Kiss 'em. It's very effective. We stayed like that for a little as we explored each other's mouths. Then there was that thing called breathing. I hate breathing. We pulled back for air and smiled at each other. Thalia looked behind me and then all around the cabin with wide eyes filled with surprise. The surprise slowly turned to fury. Confused, I looked around and my eyes saw nothing but pink. That's why she's mad. My brain starting shorting out to the point where I got dizzy.
"WHAT. THE. HELL!" she screamed. She finished looking in her closet full of My Little Pony, Barbie, etc. and turned on me. "NICO!"
"Uh… uh… y-yeah?" my brain was now so messed up that I couldn't talk in a complete sentence without stuttering.
"GO CHECK YOU ROOM! NOW!" she barked. I ran out of there as fast as I could to get away from all the… pink. I finished that thought as I stepped into my cabin and saw the same thing as Thalia's room. My. Room. It. Was. Pink. (Censored for about five minutes because there were some inappropriate words taking place) I can't believe this! My shock slowly melted away and turned into unstoppable anger. I clenched my fists and saw black fire cover them. Then the fire dripped to the floor and made a flaming circle around my feet. Subconsciously, I summoned the undead from the depths of the Underworld and they came swarming from fissures in the ground. In the back of my mind, I felt that more people had come in my presence. Then suddenly, pain. A sharp stinging pain on my left cheek.
"Wake up, dumbass!" I heard Thalia yell at me but it sounded far away. I slowly turned my head to her with a threatening glare. She glared right back.
"Whoa, let's not get too hasty, guys," I think that was Percy.
"Don't give me that look, boy! If you want to get punched the next time then you keep doing that. Oh, and no more kisses for you," she turned slightly to say the last part then swiftly left. Wait. WHAT?! No, no, no, NO! I need those! As soon as my mood came, it left just as fast.
"Wait, Thals! I didn't mean it! I'm sorry! I won't do it again!" I yelled after her. And NO, I was NOT whining. I ran to catch up with her. Once I reached her, she refused to look at me. While I was walking beside her, I leaned in to kiss her but she turned her head so that I kissed her cheek. When I realized that this was how it was going to be. I swung her over my shoulder, I ignored the profanities and hits she gave me and smiled. I had done that just to get her talking again. I put her down and kept smiling at her cheekily. She then slapped me again.
"That's for what you did earlier. And this is forgiveness," she proceeded to kiss me. It was short but sweet. As she pulled back, the Stolls ran by followed by an unforgiving looking Percy. I saw this evil glint in her eyes. I gulped. "I know what our next prank is."
"What is it?" I ask. She puts her mouth next to my ear and her voice sends shivers down my spine. All I heard from her was 'flour' and 'something-dryer'. Yeah, I know. I'm such a good listener. She grabbed my hand and dragged me to the camp kitchen. She took out a bag of flour and handed it to me. We went to the Poseidon cabin first since Percy was busy. Thalia took me into the bathroom and got the hairdryer. So that's what it was. She reached into the flour bag and pulled out a handful. She carefully dumped the flour in the hairdryer to make sure she didn't make a big mess.
"Nico, pour a thin layer of flour on the bathtub floor," she instructed me. I did as she told me. After I was done, she pecked me on the cheek and headed out. I followed her until we came upon the Athena cabin. We checked to make sure no one was inside and sure enough, there wasn't. We made our way to Annabeth's bed. Since the cabin was occupied by her siblings as well, they all shared the same bathroom so Annabeth kept her hairdryer under her bed. Thalia did the exact same thing to Annabeth's hairdryer as she did with Percy's. We didn't put flour in the tub because of obvious reasons.
"There, we're done," Thalia said, satisfacted.
"Yup. Can't wait to see their reactions!" I exclaimed. Thalia and I made our way back to the camp kitchen and put the flour back.
Now we wait…
Okay! Now we're done with this chapter. This took me quite a while but it was worth it. I owe you guys one since I haven't updated in so long. Yeah, sorry about that… Well, I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. This story is coming to an end and I need more ideas so if you could please send more in, I'd love that. Thanks guys!
