CH 4 RIDER
Shakily Rider stood up and told Kasper he could stand. "Kasper, I have to get on that boat," Said Rider urgently.
"I know," Kasper muttered, still sounding pretty shaken up. "Your dad told me that last night, and I figured out a plan."
"Thank you Kasper! I don't know what to say." Rider realized he had been distant to Kasper ever since his dream about Uranus. It was good to be talking to him again.
"There is a girl in the Nemesis Cabin named Silvia Waters, I got a hold of a little, ah, poison from the Stoll twins that gives you giant green warts and you start puking up hair balls. Anyways, I was going to sneak it in her food at breakfast. Then… you dress as her." The last part took all of Kasper's strength not to laugh.
"No-" Started Rider.
"Oh yeah" grinned Kasper and held out a wig.
"Oh great… anyways how are you going to poison Silvia's breakfast?"
"Ah… I don't actually know that part."
The two sat in silence for a few moments, but then Rider got an idea. "Wait, maybe I can use this," Rider said pointing to the coin on his neck. Kasper grinned and then the two were laughing, laughing and laughing.
KASPER
The plan was simple. Kasper would walk past the Nemesis table and trip on his untied shoelace. Then Rider would cover the whole dining pavilion with a thick cloud. Kasper would poison Silvia's breakfast, and then Rider would push the cloud away, leaving everybody confused. And leaving Silvia with green warts and several hairballs.
"Are you ready?" Rider asked Kasper as they were walking to the dining pavilion.
"I'm not gonna lie, I'm nervous, what if you can't conjure the cloud?" Kasper said nervously.
Rider pursed his lips but said, "Don't worry man," though Rider sounded worried himself. They arrived at the pavilion just in time to hear Chiron's speech.
"Good morning heroes, this is the morning were we send fifty lucky campers to go to Camp Jupiter." A few snickered at the word lucky. A kid at the Ares table muttered:
"Mr. Lucky over there didn't get so lucky did he." The Ares cabin couldn't help it and erupted in laughter. Kasper didn't see what happened next, but a giant light shot out towards the Ares camper and swallowed her up. The campers all were terrified and all of them started screaming.
"SILENCE!" Chiron hollered. He galloped over to the Hecate table to investigate what happened to the girl. He found nothing. Even Dionysus seemed shocked. Kasper looked over towards Rider and mouthed: are we still on with the plan?
Rider mouthed: No. His face was pale and clammy.
Kasper studied Rider a little more and realized there was a bright light clutched in Rider's fist. Oh my gods. Rider had shrunk the Apollo kid into a one-inch tall… midget. That's to cool… no creepy.
