Hey all! Sorry, I meant to post the next chapter last weekend but completely forgot. Then, the poll thingy was being stupid, but now all is well! I hope you like that chapter!

Hermes is Gonna Love it

"You ready, bro?" Connor asked his brother Travis while they waited backstage.

Connor was pumped to get out there, but his brother Travis looked a little green while his wide eyes scanned the crumpled piece of paper in his hands. He appeared to be shaking which didn't surprise Connor much. The boys had been up all the previous night coming up with rhymes, and near-rhymes, and not-at-all-rhymes. He had been chugging the cups of coffee since… eh, two a.m.?

"I don't know, dude…" Travis groaned. "Everyone's here. Even the Party Ponies!" He thrust his head into his hands and Connor frowned.

Just as Travis appeared to be drifting off, Connor jumped up off his seat and pushed Travis forcefully in the shoulder.

"Open those eyes wide, Stoll; I ain't taking none of your wimpiness!"

"Wha…?"

"That's right! Up and at em', boy!"

Travis stood up slowly. "What are you doing, Connor?"

Not cracking a smile, Connor thrust a piece of plastic into his brother's hand. Travis opened his palm to reveal a gum wrapper.

"Umm, bro, what's this?"

"That's a gum wrapper."

"And the point of it is…"

"Do you remember what we did with the gum inside that gum wrapper?"

Travis thought for a moment before his face spread into a grin. "Yeah, we stuck it on the Are's kids' sword handles so their hands stuck to them. Good times, man, good times."

"Exactly." Connor stated. "And were we scared when we put ourselves in mortal danger and played a prank on those bloodsuckers?"

Travis paused and then shook his head. "No."

"Mmm hmm!" Connor's eyes widened as if proving his point. "And what about last night? What'd we do then?"

At this, Travis began to chuckle. "We put green hair dye in Rachel's shampoo so she'd turn into Christmas."

"Exactly, mate! And were we scared?"

"Not really, no."

"And what about ten minutes ago? Why is my pinky finger sticking to my ring finger?"

Travis grinned evilly and began to evil laugh. "We put glue on-"

He was interrupted by a kid. "Guys, get over there! Apollo's going to call you any minute!"

Sure enough, the god was just saying thank you to a child of Ares who had sang a version of "TiK ToK" that resembled cats scratching their claws on a chalkboard.

"Thank you, Greta, the party really don't start to you get here!"

He gave a forced chuckle while Greta grinned and made a rude gesture at the crowd.

Once she was ushered off the stage, Apollo smiled. "Camp Half-Blood, when we think of the tricksters of camp, I think we all have one cabin that comes to mind."

"HERMES!" the crowd boomed.

"Yes, yes, of course. Now, when I ask who you think the two trickiest people in the Hermes cabin, whose names run through your head?"

The audience barely had to think about it before yelling out, "CONNER AND TRAVIS!"

"Connor and Travis; who else could it be? So now, let us welcome the two sneaky singers to the stage. Come on out here, boys!"

Connor and Travis ran onstage, Connor pumped on adrenaline, Travis pumped on caffeine. They stood side by side on the front of the stage while the crowd cheered. Two microphones were handed to them.

"Let's do this, bro." said Connor.

"We got this, man." said Travis.

The song began to play and the brothers smiled and waved at the crowd, waiting for their cues. Travis started them off.

Hermes is Gonna Love it

By Connor and Travis Stoll

"When I walk on by, Mr. D be looking like hate that guy

I walk to the beat, of Chiron runnin' by with his hooved feet. Neigh."

Connor took the next few verses.

What they don't know, we stole fireworks an hour ago

We stuck em' in the woods before the show

Hey Travis, what time are they gonna blow?

KABOOM!

A loud boom came from somewhere nearby and a few sparks could be seen over the top of the trees in the forest.

Clarisse, how you doing?

That gum you're chewing…

It's harpy turd.

We're just kidding!

Nico, what's up?

Your dinner cup…

Full of Red Bull

Oh well

Annabeth laughed but looked around. Nico wasn't at the performance. That's weird. She thought. I thought it was required to come. She shrugged and turned back to the stage, but for a second she thought she heard some giggling from a nearby bush.

When we walk by the bathrooms, this is what we see

Son of Athena's inside, and we've got the key.

Seaweed in Percy's pants and he just learned of it.

Hermes is gonna love it (x2)

When we've got some time, we'll play some jokes, don't call it crime!

Down at the beach, Aphrodite girls tan, suddenly one shrieks

No one needs to know, how that spider ended up on the tip of her nose.

We headed to the arena, Annabeth is nervous.

We hide spiders in our armor, our swords are worthless.

Katie we love you

Your gardening shoe…

Might wanna look inside it

Woops…

Rachel, how are ya?

Not to mentally scar ya…

Check your shampoo

It's true!

The freckled green head shook her fist at the twins from her seat next to Annabeth.

Now we're standing in the spotlight, this is what we see.

An audience of victims all about to plee.

We put glue on your seats and you all just learned of it…

Hermes is gonna love it. (x2)

The campers laughed but quickly learned that they were, indeed glued to their seats. Connor held up his hand, showing his two fingers that were stuck together.

You, you , you, you ,you, lose

Stolls, Stolls, Stolls, Stolls, Stolls, Rock

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, fools

Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, dad, you will…

I promise you…

I promise you…

Yeah

Hermes is gonna love it.

Hey Mr. D

There's some Pegasus pee

In your Chianti

JK!

Yo, Camp Half-Blood

You really should…

Vote for us,

Go Stolls!

Hermes is gonna love it!

They both struck a pose and the audience erupted into cheering. Well, all but the Aphrodite kids who were furious about how damaged their designer pants were going to be.

Apollo joined the boys up onstage, laughing hysterically. With a snap of his fingers the glue disappeared from the seats. While the Stolls were disappointed, the crowd was relieved and the Aphrodite kids began to cheer. Apollo took the microphone from the boys and waited for the applause to die down before speaking.

"Well, as you all know, the Stolls were the last campers who had to perform."

The crowd booed.

"I know, I know, but it's not over yet. We need you guys to vote, vote, vote, for who you think did the best job. Slips of paper are being passed around. Now, while you think, we've got one more surprise coming your way."

The kids gasped.

"Camp Half-Blood, please welcome to the stage…"

Haha! I'm so mean! But I posted the next chapter already! Go on! Click it!
