Melody POV

"And don't you DARE try that stunt again!" A girl with hazel eyes, dark hair, and freckles marched out of the cabin to glare at the brunette dude who, despite lying in a pile of broken glass, was smiling with a familiar mischievous hint to it. It was the same hint I saw in myself and Sabrina anytime we were on one of our covert missions. I was also suddenly reminded of a memory of a specific round of Palace and Percy ending up in a similar position as the boy before us after I found him cheating. Mom had all the windows replaced with bullet proof glass after that and made me help install them as punishment. Still worth it. I was brought out of my musings when the girl yelled again,

"If you put worms on the cabin roof ONE MORE TIME it will be the last prank you ever pull!" She shouted before storming off toward a cabin that was likely the Demeter cabin from what I'd picked up if the vine was anything to go by. It was pretty clear the cabins each stood for a god of the big 12. Seeing as it had a grass roof, the worms made sense. Honestly that roof was just BEGGING to have all sorts of things done to it. The boy was still quietly snickering as he pulled himself up. I decided right then that this was a prankster after my own heart and went to help him up while I saw Percy enter the cabin with a now missing window. He better save me a spot. The dude was brushing himself off as I readied my attack, holding out my hand.

"Greetings! I'm Melody. Are you okay?" It was only polite to inquire after his health, I'd have to introduce myself to that Demeter girl later, that was a magnificent window break. He took my hand. Perfect.

" I'm Tr- PPPPPPFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTT" A loud farting noise rang throughout the air as I grinned like the Cheshire Cat feeling very satisfied with myself. The boy stared at me for a second then looked to our still joined hands before bursting into laughter, which then triggered my own embarrassing snorts of laughter as he let go of my hand with the offending prank.

"The old whoopee cushion in the hand trick. It's ALWAYS funny." I said, quoting one of my favorite games of all time which music I loved to use as song spells.

"Haha! I can't believe I fell for that! I'm more of a joy buzzer kinda guy myself but its good to know my stuff isn't outta style. I'm Travis by the way, son of Hermes. Its always nice to find someone who enjoys the sillier things in life like my brother and I. Though, you're gonna hafta prove you're good enough to be considered a real prankster around here." He challenged. 'Game on' I thought. This was gonna be fun. I scoffed,

"Please, I could out prank you in my sleep, something that, if you continue down this course, you won't be getting much of." I informed him casually, "Tell you what, you get your bro and I'll get mine and we'll find another person to be our judges. 3o minutes to set up, no outside help, and 3 hours to see who's are most elaborate, effective, and creative. Scale of 1-10 for each category, closest to 30 wins?" I offered sweetly.

"I'll get Connor and maybe I can convince Annabeth to judge too, she loves doing that kinda stuff and I'll meet you at the dining pavilion because its almost dinnertime. 30 mins start immediately after the dismissing conch blows. We meet back there in 30 mins and write down everything we did and what its supposed to do." He elaborated on my plan. I approved of this plan and nodded. Running into the cabin to drag my unfortunate brother down to the dinning pavilion to begin planning.


I know its super short, but I'm feeling really motivated to write lately and this next chapter is going to be glorious. I'll do the Palace one or two shot eventually. I'll also be going back to the first few chapters and rewriting them in a more... competent way because those suck and I cannot believe they managed to suck this many of you guys in. Thanks for all the support, it does wonders for motivation and inspiration. Please review! Praise, criticism, things you wanna see in this story let it all out *Cough pranks cough*! Have a superb day all! ~FictionGirl11
