I sat down at the Poseidon table with Travis and Connor sitting down beside me, one on each side. "So," Percy said looking up from his food, "You're going on your fist quest."
"Uh, yeah, but I'm trying to convince Chiron to let Coral go along. I mean I haven't been away from her since I first came to New York," I explained.
"Well, here's a tip; if you see a fat lady with a chihuahua, run," Percy said to me. I just laughed thinking of the time at The Gateway Arch in The Lightning Thief.
"Will do," I responded.
I then felt Connor lean down and whisper in my ear, "So Travis and I were thinking that the CTT can do one last prank before one of the T's leave for their quest." He then leaned up and smiled like a maniac. I looked over at Travis excitingly, he just nodded at me. A mischievous grin grew on my face.
After lunch, the two brothers took me to their cabin to get some supplies. "So, what did you two have in mind?" I asked the two of them.
"Well, so Jazmin has been bothering us a lot, and we know that you also hate her," Travis started.
"So, we were going to take some of the shirts that Coral and Travis stole from Nico, and replace Jazmin's clothes with them," Connor finished for his brother.
"Sounds great," I said with a huge grin.
"Also, I thought you said that you would only do one prank with us?" Connor asked.
"Yeah, but that was before I realized how fun it is, plus no one expects me to prank people," I explained.
I then grabbed the black shirts and shoved them in my cloak. We then started heading towards the Aphrodite cabin. "Wait we need a distraction," I reminded the brothers. I looked over to where the Demeter cabin was, there were a few people in the garden. I lifted my hand up and took some dirt and threw it at the one girl's back. She turned around and started yelling at her brother. Everyone started staring at them, as we quickly slipped into the pink colored cabin without anyone noticing.
"Nice thinking," Travis said as we walked over to one closet.
We walked into the huge closet and looked around. "Aw, I wish my cabin had a closet," I complained.
"Well, no one thought that anyone would live in there," Travis said.
"Hey, um, how are we going to know which clothes are Jazmin's?" Connor then asked.
"Like this," I said pointing at a label that read Jazmin's: don't touch! We just laughed.
We started swapping out the clothes. Travis would pull the clothes off the hangers, then hand them to me so I could put them under my cloak. While Connor would take the hangers and put the black shirts on them, then he would hang them back up.
Within five minutes we were done. "So, by now the crowd is gone, so how are we going to get out without no one noticing?" Connor asked.
"Well, I could pull us out the window really fast and take us to the lake, no one would be able to see us. We'd be traveling a little less than the speed of sound, so um, hold on I guess? Then we would have to make sure that someone sees us, so then no one would expect us," I said.
"This is why you're the best," They both said hugging me. They let go as I started walking towards the window facing the lake. I opened the window, "You guys ready?" I asked the two.
"Uh, maybe?" they both responded. I just smiled. I lifted us up and shot my hand towards the lake which made us shoot out the window. We landed just where I had planned, right beside the lake, near the edge of the woods.
"So, what are you going to do with the clothes?" Connor asked as he walked up to the lake and sat down at the edge. I walked up to him and sat down beside him.
"Weeell," I said looking over at the Hades cabin, which conveniently had a window open (Knowing Nico, Will probably opened it), "We could put them in the Hades cabin."
Connor and Travis looked at me with grins on their faces. "I'll be back," I said as I ran into the woods behind us.
I then stopped when I made sure no one saw me and took the shirts out of my cloak. I lifted my hand up causing the shirts to lift up. I then took the shirts and pulled them up along the woods and shot them over to where the open window was. Before the shirts reached their destination, I ran back out of the woods and waved at someone who was walking up to the lake. I then made sure to put my hand down, still keeping hold of the shirts, so that no one was suspicious. (They should be though, hehe).
I sat back down beside the Stoll's, they then high-fived me.
I'm really going to miss this place while I'm away, I thought as Connor, Travis and I looked out across the glittering lake water.
Thanks for reading! Shoutout to James Birdsong for reviewing. Also a shoutout to Writer2006 for giving my the idea of doing another CTT prank.
