Somebody, and it is still unknown who, had thrown a huge inflatable trampoline in the middle of the lake. It was adrift, and so big that half of the campers could jump on it at once. Chiron and Dionysus had decided it wasn't worth it to try and get it out of the water, and the campers were happy and occupied with it, so they kept it there. Also, some pretty entertaining stuff happened with it.
While some campers were bouncing on it, a wasp decided to take a look. It was a pretty big wasp, yet first the campers didn't notice it. When one did notice it, it was already sitting on her arm. She screamed the most high pitched scream the camp had ever heard, and launched herself into the lake. People got out in battle armour from cabins and workplaces everywhere. The other trampoline children looked at the place the girl had jumped from. Another child saw the wasp. They screamed to, and jumped into the lake as well. More and more people on the trampoline noticed the wasp, and all jumped into the lake. All, except for one Ares boy. He charged towards the wasp, and smacked it with his thumb. The wasp died instantly, while all the other children cheered.
Another time, Annabeth and some of her siblings had claimed the trampoline and were jumping around on it. Yet, one dock spider remembered what had happened to Arachne, and decided to avenge her. It walked over the water, and glided onto the trampoline. The Athena kids didn't see it, as they were too busy trying to be the king or queen of the trampoline. Annabeth was winning, when the spider ran towards her. It climbed up her leg. She saw it, screamed even louder than the girl from the wasp had done, and catapulted herself into the lake. The spider let go, while Annabeth swam to the bottom of the lake as quickly as she possibly could. The other Athena kids swam towards the shore in a tempo not a lot of people could reach, but fear drove them forward. Annabeth felt something on the bottom of the lake. She looked around, and saw her boyfriend staring at her (Percy sometimes sunk to the bottom of the lake to think about things, like the meaning of life and pizza bagels, death and hot pockets, and Cyborgs and blue pizza bagels). He smiled and formed a bubble around them. They drifted towards the surface, while Annabeth held her boyfriend for dear life.
The Demeter children were hungry once, and decided to go have a picnic on the trampoline. At first, it went pretty well. They had brought good food, and they weren't with much, so the trampoline wouldn't sink. Yet, at some point Katie decided to annoy Meg. It didn't go so well. Meg got angry, and pushed Katie into the lake. Yet, Katie held on the her sister's wrists, so that Meg also tumbled into the water. Their sister and brother looked down at them, while they were coughing in the water. Miranda hung over the edge to much, and fell into the lake as well. Only their brother was still on the trampoline. The sisters were going to change that. They were rocking the trampoline back and forth, until their brother fell of. They all gasped as a wave of water went over them.
After these three fiasco's, Chiron and Dionysus decided to put out some rules. Nobody was to eat on the trampoline, and if you were afraid of bugs or arachnids, it was at your own risk if you got hurt. But, the trampoline stayed afloat, and is still in camp to this day.
