Wax up? yea.. sorry it took me so long to update! I'll try to do it more often! And now, CHAPTER 3! wo0f!

** Travis's POV **

(during dinner)

This is going to be great! My brother, Connor, and I are on our way right now to the Ares cabin. Our target right now is Clarisse. Here's our goal. We know Clarisse go's into her cabin right after dinner every evening. So, Connor and I are going to plan it so when she opens the door, she'll get a face full of syrup coming from a big bucket. Then, we'll run to either side of her and throw feathers on her! It's going to be awesome!

"Okay," Connor whispered, "let's get this bucket up, dinner's almost over." We heaved it onto the roof, put a few big bricks by it (to keep it from falling), then tied a string to the bucket handle and the door knob. We took a few steps back to look at our work from afar. Neither the bucket, nor the string was very visible, when you first take a look at it.

Then I saw a brown haired girl walking in our direction. Hey, that looks like…..uh-oh. "Hey, Connor! I think I see Clarisse!"

"Okay, then. Get in position!" I did as he said. We watched as Clarisse turned the knob, then pulled it……….

The syrup came down like a waterfall. It poured off her head and all over her.

"AHHH! WHAT THE HECK?" That's when Connor and I jumped out of our hiding place, and threw feathers all over her.

"Travis, Connor, I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" she lunged at us. We dodged it just barely.

"Uh," I started, "do we start running now?"

"Yeah, fast!" Connor took off like lightning.

** Percy's POV **

I guess you could say my question was answered when Connor and Travis were running toward us like rockets, with Clarisse chasing them. Whoa, I think she has more feathers on her than Big Bird!

"Ah!" the Stoll brothers flew right past us, with Clarisse right on there tails. Annabeth and I stepped out of their way. I got a good look a Clarisse, and started laughing. As soon as Annabeth saw what I was laughing at, she started laughing too. Clarisse was covered in syrup and feathers.

They kept on going until they were out of sight.

"Well," I started, "at least it wasn't us this time." I was referring to getting pranked.

Annabeth knew what I meant, "Yeah, thank the gods." She smiled. Her gray eyes sparkled. I wonder if she knows how beautiful she is. Uh….did I just think that? Well, whatever. It's true, anyway.

After the campfire songs, I went to my cabin. It had been a long day, and I was tired. I practically threw myself on the bed. I slowly drifted to sleep. But, not long after that, around 1:00, I woke up. I do that sometimes. When it happens, I usually sneak out to the beach and think. So, I got up, put on a green hoodie, and headed out.

A few minutes after my arrival, I played with the ocean water. I watched as my finger manipulated it to go in circles, and over my head. I found myself worrying a lot about the upcoming prophecy, and the ocean was the only place that separated me from the craziness.

After I got my thoughts together, I went back to my cabin to get some rest. It had been a LONG day.

A week or so later…………

** Connor's POV **

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! FINALLY! Oh man! I'm so excited! We're finally going to pull a big prank on Percy! FINALLY (again)! I mean, I don't think we've actually had a big prank on him yet this year. So tonight at dinner, when everyone's watching, will be the night!

Our Game Plan: we have some special blue jelly bean things (or what looks like jelly beans) that are from Apollo. My brother, Travis, and I are going to play a prank with them on Percy, Grover, and Chris. What you do is say a singer's name or band name into them, and the person, or people, who eat them, turn into the chosen artist(s), then start singing! We already put a little magic into them. We said: Jonas Brothers! I know, right? This is going to be the coolest prank ever! Woot!

Also, when someone eats one, you can tell what kind of mood their in by the song they chose, and how they dance to it, and the lyrics.

Anyways, here's who we're going to give:

Chris: Joe Jonas

Grover: Kevin Jonas

Percy: Nick Jonas

Oh, hey! I think I see them all heading towards their table. Now, all we have to do is get these dang jelly beans down their throats……………….

** Percy's POV **

I'm on my way to a well-deserved dinner right now. I just came from sword practice, and nobody could beat me there. I'm like, undefeated!

Well, anyway, I got my food, scraped some into the bronze brazier, and sat at my table. I sit there alone, except for when Tyson is here, which he's not because he's working hard in the forges right now. And Grover sits with me when he doesn't eat lunch with his girlfriend, Juniper.

So I was kind of just sitting there picking at my food, I really wish I had some blue candy right now.

Then, Connor got up to throw away his trash. On his way back he said, "Waz up Percy? Oh, hey, what's that in your mouth?" He tilted his head as if wanting to see something.

Of course, I open my mouth, and he throws in something that looked like a jelly bean. I was so stunned, I didn't really think, so I swallowed it.

"Uh….what was that?" I heard myself asking. Connor had an evil grin on his face as he walked back to his table. It's just a jelly bean, right? And a blue one, too. What could it hurt?.............

Uh-oh! What's gonna happen??
