Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Chapter 21

What joy! Travis thought sarcastically as he scooped up something that made him tighten his gas mask even further. Yes, he was wearing a gas mask. Connor was too.

Unfortunately, Chiron hadn't supplied any gas masks for them to use. So they had to do a quick run to a store and back.

"Gods this stuff smells!" Connor complained loudly.

Connor's voice was muffled and hard to hear, making him have to yell.

"I know!" Travis yelled back.

Little did the two brothers know that it was only hard to hear for them. Almost the entire camp could hear their yells. Usually the Stolls would be the ones selling earplugs to get some drachmas, but since they were the cause, some other campers had to do it.

The Stolls wisely kept quiet when they were thinking about the pranks. Maybe the horses and pegasus's would tell Percy in secret. And even though it would be funny to see all the campers's reactions, it would also be the cause if their deaths. They couldn't risk dying at such a young age, and they still have a lot more cabins to go.

"Maybe we should ask Percy to help us! And maybe a few nymphs as well!" Travis yelled loudly.

Connor was about to call Percy's name, when Chiron wheeled in and stood outside the door.

"What did I say about not calling Percy or any nymphs?" Chiron said sternly.

"The opposite of what we're going to do!" Travis yelled brightly.

"How did you hear us?" Connor asked Chiron.

"Child, almost the entire camp can hear you!"

"So if I do this," Connor pulled out a megaphone and started yelling his loudest in it. "Can Olympus hear it?"

Chiron wondered if centaurs could do a face palm. He was in wheelchair mode because he was tired, but he didn't come inside the stables.

"Let's ask the gods to find out then." Travis said, fished a drachma out of his pocket and made a rainbow with a bit of water and some liquid.

Travis yelled out the words and saw that the gods were in Olympus for a meeting.

"Could you hear my brother?" Travis yelled at them.

Chiron was looking nervous. "Maybe-"

"Don't worry!" Connor reassured the centaur, but when he took a look at Zeus's enraged face, he looked like he wanted to run away.

In the iris message, Hermes looked proud, but a tiny bit worried of what Zeus would do to him or his sons. The other gods just looked surprised while some didn't care and were happy that Zeus's boring speech was cut off.

"Chiron," Poseidon began, happy that Zeus was interrupted. "We were just going to IM you! And no, we couldn't hear you."

"Sorry for interrupting your meeting-" Chiron began, but once again, Poseidon talked.

"Sorry? I should thank you-" Poseidon said, and was now cut off by Zeus.

"Enough!" Zeus boomed. "I don't know who those two demigods are-"

"I do," Dionysus said in a bored way. "Ravin and Cobol Stole."

"Well Ravin and Cobol Stole-" Zeus thundered.

"It's actually Travis and Connor Stoll. They're my sons." Hermes said proudly.

"Go figure." Hera said dryly.

"I already figured it out Hera," Apollo responded.

"It was sarcasm," Artemis spoke up.

"Order!" Zeus said with his loud voice.

"Go on dear brother," Hades said innocently.

And before a storm broke out, Iris's voice rang out, silencing them all.

"Please deposit one drachma for five more minutes." Iris spoke out.

When no one made a move to add any drachmas, since no one wanted to waste their drachmas, the message faded. Leaving the gods and the demigods plus centaur standing or sitting there.

Chiron sighed. "You do not IM the gods for no reason. Is that clear?"

The Stolls nodded, not really listening.

"Clean the stables up; it's almost time for curfew so hurry up."

The Stolls nodded again before Chiron left, leaving them to laugh all over the mess they had just cleared up. It was lucky they were the sons of Hermes. Or else the harpies could be looking forward to being fed.

2 hours later:

It was 2 hours later when they finished. The harpies were patrolling the camp area, looking for things to eat. The Stolls had to sneak out, and try not to get caught. Which is actually harder than it looks. And that was coming from two sons of Hermes, who had beaten a 7th grader in grade 1.

"How do you want to do this?" Connor asked his big brother.

"Well our cabin is right over here," Travis pointed to their cabin with some trees blocking the way. "So I think we should make a run for it."

The harpies were seen and the Stolls nearly had a heart attack seeing them. Nearly. But not quite. They weren't going to die that quick.

"Still thinking about making that run?" Connor whispered.

"Yup," Travis replied quietly. "On my mark. 1... 2... 3... GO!"

Travis and Connor sprinted as fast as they could in the darkest area so that the harpies couldn't see them. But with their luck, the harpies screeched and chased after them.

"Wouldn't now be a good time to think up pranks for the Artemis cabin?" Travis said to his brother.

Connor nodded, and even though he was thinking about what his funeral would look like, he grinned.

"Let's make love notes, and put the huntresses's names on them so it will look like they sent cards to random guys!" Connor said while trying to think what their reactions would be.

"Change their clothes to extra short, extra girly, and extra shimmery from the Aphrodite cabin! And also those high heels, sequin dresses, and other girly stuff!" Travis said, and the response kept on coming.

"Put in a bunch of fake love notes!"

"Put up pictures of people kissing, boys, and posters of Artemis saying she loves someone!"

"Paint the entire cabin pink with hearts all over it!"

"Make fake valentine cards and sign Artemis's name on the bottom!"

"Tape pictures of guys around the cabin and make these huge signs saying 'look what you missed' to the hunters!"

"Steal all their weapons and replace them with rubber ones!"

By the time they had said all the prank ideas, they were already safe in their cabin.

"Safe!" Travis declared, while jumping on his bed and trying to fall asleep.

"Roger that," Connor responded and actually changed before going to his bed.

Travis thought of one more idea for the Artemis cabin before going asleep. Get a bunch of girly star magazines and frame them...
