This is a kinda shitty write of what exactly happened during the screening lol, mostly because my brain was just blabbering and came up with this.
This story is also posted on Ao3 under the same username.
Enjoy! :)

Kayla grinned at the group of demigods in front of her. "Are you guys ready for the best experience in your pathetically short demigod lives?" she announced, throwing up rock-on hands. She was met with minimal enthusiasm and sighed, stepping to the side.
"Lou, you take over. It's a tough crowd," she grumbled, moving to take a seat next to Piper on one of the Apollo cabin cots.
Lou Ellen shrugged, turning to face the demigods once more. "Ok, before we start the premiere viewing of our documentary, is everyone who is supposed to be here present?"
Glancing around the room, it appeared so. Apart from the six documentary makers, a solid number of other campers had shown up to see this project that the group had been raving about. Jason and Annabeth had shown up upon insistence from the significant others, Connor, Travis, and Chris were invited by Cecil, which by extension meant Clarisse and Katie were in attendance. Lou Ellen forced Miranda to bring Sherman, who dragged Ellis along. They hadn't meant for the group to get that big, mostly out of fear that Nico or Will would find out about what was happening, but now the six demigods were very excited to show off their high-effort piece of art.
Lou Ellen got ready to start explaining the premise of their movie when Austin spoke up, "Wait… Chiara and Damien aren't here yet. We need to wait. Chiara's probably going to curse us if we don't."
Miranda grinned, "Relax, they're probably off having one of their hate make out sessions. I'm sure they'll show up eventually."
Austin hesitantly nodded, although he still seemed a little unsettled. Perhaps, looking back on the situation, the others should have taken Austin's premonition and the absence of the two demigods to heart, but in the moment it was glossed over.
Lou Ellen began her introduction of the documentary. "Ok, this is a Secret Solangelo Shippers Society production, the official documentary of our club. We collected some rare clips of Solangelo in the wild, and after a solid week of editing using iMovie, I'm proud to say that this classy production is ready for your viewing pleasure. So sit back and appreciate our hard work. Oh also, if any of you guys tell Nico and Will, I'll turn you into a monkey"
As Lou Ellen sat down and started the documentary, Annabeth frowned and whispered to her boyfriend, "Hold on, you guys filmed them without their permission? And now you're exposing them?"
Percy shrugged, "It's not exposing them! We just want everyone to be able to appreciate the beauty that is Solangelo. And I mean, the chances of them finding out about this is slim. We went through every precaution we need to make sure they don't find out."
That was when everything went wrong. The group would definitely blame Percy for their predicament later; after all, he was the one who decided to tempt the Fates with his words, as less than one minute into the title sequence (featuring Piper and Cecil's crappy photoshop and editing skills), Chiara and Damien burst into the cabin, their faces red and flushed as if they just sprinted all the way there.
Everyone started snickering as Connor remarked, "You guys have some fun?"
Damien glared at the son of Hermes before straightening up and turning to face the creators of the documentary. "You guys got to hide. Di Angelo and Solace know about it."
Piper, who had a mouthful of Goldfish, immediately started choking as Jason thumped her back. If her eyes were wide from choking or from fear, no one knew. Cecil and Kayla immediately shot up from their respective seats, eyes locking onto the window on the left side of the cabin as they both bolted that way. Austin and Percy got up as well, as Austin called out, "Wait! Where are you guys going? What in Hades do we do now?"
Cecil, who was clambering through the window after Kayla, turned back and scowled, "Every man for themselves, my dude. I don't give a shit about saving the women and children, thank you very much," he announced as he wriggled his way out of the window, landing outside with a thump.
Percy eyes widened, turning to Annabeth who just shook her head at him and mouthed run. The remaining four demigods in the guilty party bolted out the door, all in different directions.
The documentary continued playing in the silence of the cabin as the remaining demigods stared at the window and door in bemusement. Finally, Clarisse broke the silence, "Should we just finish watching the damn thing?"
Everyone murmured in agreement, turning back to the documentary. Another five minutes passed, and the documentary was still in the introduction stage, before the demigods started filming the couple. It was then, of course, that a very pissed off son of Hades and son of Apollo barged into the cabin. Everyone glanced at the two demigods nervously.
Nico's eyes narrowed, scanning the room. When he didn't pinpoint their targets, he turned to Travis, sword in hand. "Where are they?" he hissed, the shadows around his flickering slightly.
To his credit, Travis didn't seem too afraid, instead shrugging calmly at the younger demigod. "They bolted once they realized you guys knew. We've just been watching it since."
Will groaned, running a hand through his hair, "Gods, I can't believe they actually did this. And they're showing it in my cabin?"
Annabeth stood up, moving over to the two demigods. "It can't be that bad. How about you guys watch with us. It's still on the introduction, so you guys can see if it's really worth killing them over."
Nico didn't look happy with that, but Will's curiosity seemed to have peaked. "Ok, but if it is that bad, we aren't showing your boyfriend any mercy."
The daughter of Athena smirked, "I wouldn't expect anything less."
About half an hour later, Will and Nico came to the conclusion that the only valid punishment for the documentary makers was death (yes, in their opinion the documentary was that bad). While the other campers found the documentary to be a treasure, the couple did not share their sentiment. After swearing all the campers in the room to never speak of the monstrosity, the couple made their way around Camp searching for the six demigods.
When they weren't able to track the demigods down, they moved onto different forms of revenge. By the time the six demigods returned to Camp that night, Nico and Will got their revenge.
The Poseidon Cabin was filled with skeletons, which was bad enough as it is. But for an extra element of torture, the skeletons had a magic radio that, despite Percy's best efforts, would not turn off. All through the night, the entire Camp resonated with echoes from the Poseidon cabin of Bing Bang by LazyTown and bones clattering as the skeletons danced along, occasionally accompanied by a sob from Percy Jackson.
Austin and Kayla returned to the Apollo cabin, only to find their prized possessions desecrated. Austin's saxophone was filled with rocks, while every single arrow in Kayla's quiver was snapped in half. Austin spent the next hour hysterically shaking out his saxophone, trying to get rid of the tightly packed rocks. Kayla didn't seem too impacted, although she insisted that the boys could have gotten a little more inventive with their revenge on her.
Cecil and Lou Ellen were relieved to find their things intact and went to bed peacefully. Little did they know, however, that their revenge was more subtle, something waiting to happen. The next day, Lou Ellen was wearing a hat on her head, something odd for the daughter of Hecate. When Kayla finally forced her to reveal what she was hiding, everyone stared in horror of her typical black hair now a bright blonde. Cecil, on the other hand, refused to leave his cabin after realizing that, somehow, Will managed to land a curse on him. However, it wasn't just a normal rhyming curse, no; it was an acrostic poetry curse.
In other words, Nico and Will were very satisfied with their revenge.
A/N: Ehhhhh, I'm not too happy with the ending, but the original thing I wrote didn't really work out how I wanted it, so I tried to just tie it together quickly. :/
Anyways, hope you enjoyed this chapter, and let me know if you have any other requests/suggestions for what to add, or just any general feedback!
Also lol, in the last chapter I wrote there were seven demigods in the S.S.S.S. because my dumbass has forgotten how t t. I went through and fixed it, but I'm still so confused with how my brain didn't remember how to count.
And I just realized that a lot of the italics I use don't transfer over here when I copy and paste which is a big suck.
