The Camp Half-Blood prank war.
Prelude
Olympus was calm that fateful day. Well calm as it could be. A few satyrs were running around, wooden crates of shiny plastic water bottles and nectar in their hands. Some of them were lugging toolboxes to separate construction sites littered throughout Olympus. Mostly palaces and temples that were destroyed by the Titan Kronos. Most of them were helping with construction while some were supervising the efforts. Normally, Annabeth Chase would've been watching but she was back at Camp Half-Blood, doing gods knows what with Percy Jackson.
A few minor gods were complaining about the roads being uneven, but the satyrs had far more pressing matters.
However, the main event was in the large Parthenon structure towards the middle of the eternal city. Inside the throne room was big enough to make Grand Central look like a walk-in closet. The pure-white marble pillars were polished and free of even a speck of dirt. The floor was no different. In fact, the floor was shiny enough that most people would think they were walking on one big giant mirror. Even the thrones had been redesigned.
Zeus's throne was easily the most extravagant. The throne was cloud white and lined with gold. Small lightning bolts were carved on the headboard of the throne while the armrests had electric shooting out in random static directions. It even had a few levers and buttons that would do anything from massages to a secret compartment for god candy.
The other gods had thrones that had their own unique little designs. For example, Poseidon had a large blue throne with all sorts of different sea creatures carved into it. Hades's throne looked more like a shadow of a throne than an actual throne. His throne was the newest after all. Some gods, such as Apollo and Ares had large and eccentric thrones. Some such as Hestia and Hades had less outspoken thrones. Regardless, they all did have thrones.
At the moment, all thrones were occupied by the gods. Said gods were in a heated argument, if the loud shouting and accusatory fingers were any hint. Some of the gods looked bored while some were engaged in the argument. The throne room shook with declarations and insults. The gods looked about ready to murder each other.
"Your son is not the greatest hero!" Zeus shouted angrily at the sea god, Poseidon. He yelled this while pointing at him, his eyes flashing with lightning.
"Huh?" Poseidon said, "I can't hear you over the sound of my son saving Olympus!" A few gods covered their mouths or fanned their flustered faces. Zeus was losing the argument; most were sure of that. Some of them ignored the side-picking. The few who did side with Zeus were shaking their heads.
Zeus shook with rage, standing up and summoning his bolt for dramatic effect, "Thalia easily overpowers Percy any day. She can summon storms!"
"So can Percy." Poseidon responded casually.
"She can shoot lightning!"
"Again, Percy's storms have lightning too."
"She…she can fly!"
Poseidon had a blank look on his face. "I've never seen her fly. In fact, isn't she afraid of heights?" His shit-eating smirk told everyone all they needed to know about who was taking this argument seriously.
Zeus's face turned red. He started towards Poseidon, but Hera jumped out of her throne and snatched Zeus away before he could strike Poseidon. "Unhand me!" Zeus bellowed.
"Absolutely not!" Hera scolded, "You're being childish. Poseidon had a point after all. Percy contributed more to taking down Kronos than Thalia, but Thalia did still do some outstanding feats! Isn't that enough to be proud of?"
"No!" Zeus shouted, "She needs to be the best. Like me!"
"Well, that will take a while," Athena spoke up, "If it is even possible. Percy took down Ares when he was just twelve. Thalia was a tree for five years."
"I like how we all ignore the fact that Percy took down Ares." Hermes pointed out, "I mean, is that not concerning? A twelve-year-old kid took down a whole war god."
"Ares was and still is one of the dumbest gods on Olympus." Athena pointed out, "All he had was strength and a big ego. We actually tried to do something after that quest to maybe limit Percy's power, but Poseidon warned us that we could be breaking the direct interference laws, even though Percy attacked a god. Poseidon was actually smart enough to take advantage of a grey area for once."
"I'm clearly smarter than you since I was able to father a hero strong enough to take your children down!" Poseidon yelled.
Athena got a murderous glare on her face as she turned to the sea god, "Oh really? Is that why he's always underneath Annabeth during their sparring matches?"
"I think he's underneath her in other places, if you know what I mean." Aphrodite said, wiggling her eyebrows.
"Oh, shut up!" Athena scolded, "It still amazes and disgusts me that my daughter felt the need to choose that idiot son of Poseidon to be her boyfriend. There were so many other better boys but no, she just had to fall for his good looks."
"See, I am the greatest." Poseidon declared, "I was such a good father to Percy that he stole a daughter of Athena's heart!"
"He only got that way because of time and good looks. That boy has the charisma of a goldfish." Athena rolled her eyes.
"Hey, goldfish are very charismatic!" Poseidon protested, "And who do you think he got his good looks from?"
"His mother's side." Athena shot back.
"His eyes are literally mine!"
"I never said they weren't." Athena replied simply.
"I like his jawline," Aphrodite said, "Very manly. Too bad that he's Annabeth's. He's sexy."
"Stay away from my son." Poseidon ordered her. Aphrodite pouted in response.
"Regardless, his good looks will only get him so far. Eventually Annabeth will come to her senses and break up with him." Athena said, crossing her legs and leaning on her elbow.
"Actually, no." Aphrodite said, "I kind of cursed Annabeth to only love Percy. I was going through a little phase, and they reminded me of this really good soap opera I was watching."
"You cursed my daughter?!" Athena shouted. Her eyes flashed with anger.
"Only because she was already in love with Percy to begin with!" Aphrodite defended, "I just cemented their relationship."
"You still cursed her!" Athena shrieked.
"No, I blessed her."
"You said cursed!"
"No, I didn't."
"You did!"
"No."
"Yes!"
"No."
"YES!" Athena screamed, rocketing to her feet and drawing a spear.
"ENOUGH!" Zeus shouted, causing everyone to jump and look at him. Athena even lowered her spear. "It has become quite clear that our children are the reason for this argument. I propose a war." Ares perked up while the rest of the gods yelled out protests, "I mean a prank war. One where there are no alliances. This war will last exactly one week. We will have a tally board to count the number of successful pranks." A few gods smirked, rubbing their hands together evily, "There will be absolutely no interaction from us." The gods pouted but motioned for Zeus to continue. "Very well, as long as the pranks are not lethal or too destructive, anything goes. Dionysus, put out the news!"
Dionysus sighed, getting up from his throne. He knew that only he and Chiron were going to have to deal with this headache of a war. Those brats were going to destroy the camp if he didn't supervise the thing. There goes his week-long break. He teleported himself to Camp Half-Blood, a peaceful camp about to turn into a warzone.
A/N (So originally i put this in the M rating because of the cursing and some sexual references but after reading some rated M stories, this most definitely doesn't fit in. So, to the T rating this story goes.)
