Connor's handwriting

Chp12

Lila frowned at the empty diaries. The records had ended there, at the I-was-turned-into-a-toddler. Neither Travis nor Katie had continued for some reason, which seriously pissed Lila off, because cliffhanger much?

She shoved the diaries back where they came from, closing up the boxes and putting them away. She then attacked the other dust covered boxes- she'd never deemed them worthy of her attention before, but times change. One of them had one thin diary- battered and covered in scorch marks, slime stains, and what seemed like ketchup (but it could be blood).

Lila flipped it open, crossing her fingers hoping that this had a record of whatever happened next. Sure enough, there was… something.

28-11-13

I'm just gonna say this once, not a diary.

Moving on.

SOMEONE GIVE CHIRON A MEDAL. The centaur so deserves it. Can someone get me a copy of those bracelets, please? Dear big brother now forever tied to Katie- you should have seen them! Katie looked pissed, and Trav acted like he was sentenced to death. I'm so gonna keep this journal thing and use it for blackmail.

Lila grinned wickedly. All she had to do now, was wait for Uncle Connor for whenever he comes over next, and just… accidently put the diary where somewhere he could find it, and BOOM! A very entertaining dinner. She couldn't wait.

"Chiron, please?" Travis flashed his best puppy dog eyes at the centaur, but he didn't budge even a little bit.

"Travis, even I can't take out the bracelets, my boy," Chiron answered. Katie was exactly a meter away, rolling her eyes in exasperation. It was the seventh time Travis had asked him- in the last three days itself- and Katie was getting… pissed, to say the least.

"But-" he began again.

Katie stomped away, dragging Travis with her without even touching him. Slight advantage to everything. All she had to do was walk away and he got dragged along, cursing at Katie for existing.

"Now what?" the son of Hermes said, flopping down on the steps of the Big House, Katie stumbling down after him.

"We die." She replied flatly.

Travis snorted. "Since when do you channel Nico?"

"Why don't we, uh, plant-"

"NO! That's, like, the only thing we've been doing for the past who-knows-how-long! Plant this, plant that-"

"Fine, you suggested something," Katie huffed.

"Just one prank. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?" he clasped his hands together and pouted up at his frenemy, practically on his knees begging.

Katie looked at him… eventually melting. She had deprived him of pranks for, like, a whole week. Pranking was in his blood, and she wasn't right to stop him from doing what he loved the most…

"Fine. But not the Ares or Athena cabins. Or mine, of course. Or the Hades cabin. Or-"

She was cut off by Travis squealing like a girl and engulfing her in a huge hug, getting most of his unruly hair in Katie's mouth.

"Get- off me-you- what is wrong with you get off-" she finally managed to push him off, already regretting saying yes.

He looked like someone just gave his ADHD self a mound of Halloween candy. He jumped up, pulling Katie along with him and skipped/ran to the Hermes cabin, the poor daughter of Demeter struggling to keep up.

Why, oh why, did I agree to this? Curse my soft heart, she thought to herself.

Instead of running to the Hermes cabin, he ran around it, pulling her to the back.

"Travis?" she frowned. "Where are we going?"

"Just wait and see, dirt girl," he grinned at her and put his hand on a small panel right in the middle of the back wall. It glowed yellow, and then small trapdoor appeared, right where they were. Travis pulled it open, almost jumping up and down, and climbed down, causing Katie to fall flat on her face when the bracelet pulled them back close.

The curly-haired menace popped back up, didn't apologize, and just pulled Katie right down with him.

"I should not have said yes," she muttered as he groped along the walls looking for a light switch. He found it pretty soon, and flicked it on, and Katie couldn't help the gasp that spilled from her lips.

It wasn't a very big room, big enough to fit a small elephant- which isn't as big as you'd think it would be. The was completely shelved all around, stocked with stuff- spray paint, buckets of paint, dye, tripwires, food colouring, shampoo, canned food, balloons- a pranker's dream.

"This," Travis said proudly, spreading his hands, "is where me and Connor plan our pranks, get most of our supplies- it's Olympus on earth!"

Katie blinked. "Where'd it come from?"

"We got the Hephaestus cabin to build it for us. They owed us after we helped them win the prank wars against the Nike cabin- oh, Holly and Laurel were pissed-"

"Is that what you used to dye my hair?!"

Travis didn't even have the decency to look sheepish. He just grinned and nodded.

Katie rolled her eyes and grabbed the green dye, looking at the instructions- seemingly handwritten by Travis and Connor.

Pour on the victims head. Instant working.

Katie got an idea. She grinned wickedly, and turned around and poured the thing onto Travis's head as he was explaining something.

The son of Hermes froze. He slowly looked up at the green slowly dripping through his hair, slowly getting absorbed. Then he looked back at Katie.

"Oh, you did not."

"Oh, but I did!"

Travis grabbed the blue bottle and popped open the cap, and Katie's eyes widened.

"Oh no-" she scrambled around, while Travis moved to grab her, both of them laughing. "Stoll, don't you dare-"

He dared.

A second later, the blue dye was completely pouring through her hair. She gaped at him.

"You did not."

"But I did!"

Katie opened her mouth, ready to start another argument with the stupid son of Hermes, but his green hair stopped her. She did start it, after all.

So all Katie did was roll her eyes and plop down in the corner, crossing her arms and pouting.

Travis grinned at her and ruffled his hair, looking at the dirty mirror on one of the shelves. "Not too bad, eh, Kit-Kat? Better than yours, at least," he snickered.

"Don't call me Kit-Kat! I don't call you stuff,"

"No one's stopping you."

So, for the next hour, Katie thought about something to call the infuriating son of Hermes. She couldn't find anything.

"Dirt Girl?" Travis eventually asked. She snapped out of her thoughts and asked, "You done?"

"Nah, just wondering if you want to participate in this mastermind's plan," Travis grinned at her invitingly.

Katie looked at what he was doing. He was writing down something on a piece of paper, which sketches and triangles and rectangles and arrows connecting stuff. It didn't make much sense to her.

But he looked so excited, she couldn't help it. Katie began to smile too, and nodded.

"Okay, see we're pranking the Ares cabin. We're gonna be covering up all their weapons in cotton, so they're gonna be worthless, and also, make them pink just for the heck of it… oh! And we could also dye all of their hairs pink..."

Katie stared at him. She had to admit, he was brave. He also had a death wish.

"Yeah, sounds great." Katie grinned at his enthusiasm.

"C'mon then. We have to go prank people!"

Dun!

Two stories in one day… gasp!
