Percy knew that the best place to get ice cream would be from the Stoll brothers. So he set off to the Hermes cabin in high hopes. Unfortunately, they were not at their cabin, but Percy soon found them near the Hephaestus cabin, trying to pick the cabin's newest locks.
"Hey guys, you don't have any ice cream, do you?"
"No, but we know where to get some."
"Really, where?"
"Oh, Chiron has some in a freezer with some in the Big House!"
"There's a catch, isn't there."
"No… well, OK, it's closely guarded by Argus."
"We've tried sooo many times, but he's caught us every time!"
"Oh, OK, I guess that's out. Thanks you two," concluded Percy.
Now, do you honestly think Percy really didn't even bother to try to steal the ice cream? No? Well, if you said no, you're right, I owe you a cookie. So anyways, Percy decided he needed to come up with a strategy to defeat Argus! Well, not really "defeat", just distract. The only problem was, the plotting usually came from Annabeth. But Percy knew he'd find a way.
