Let's get started:

In the last chapter of "Invasion"

"We want you to help us, Leo. Can you make about fifty automaton spiders to be ready for three in the morning?"

Leo nodded, "Yeah, no problem."

Bobby smirked, "This is gonna be great..."

Travis grinned, "We're going to dump them in their cabin (Athena cabin) at three, then lock the door. We'll unlock it after they've been freaking out for a while. Connor, you in?"

"But... Lexi?" Connor whimpered.

Travis nodded, "Will be very pissed, and quite possibly break up with you."

Connor sighed, "How do I pick between pranks and my girlfriend?"

"Dude, go for the girlfriend. There'll be other pranks," Leo said.

Again, Travis nodded, "It's what I'd do, if we were planning a prank like that on Katie. Chocolate bunnies are one thing, but spiders, for Lexi, is another. You know her."

"She bawls for like, an hour." Connor reasoned, "Yeah, I'll sit this one out."

~I'm just a line breaker, don't mind me...~

PERCY POV

I woke up to a loud, high pitched scream of terror. I was about to turn over to go back to sleep, when I realized that I recognized that scream; it was Annabeth's.

I threw a shirt on, and ran out the door, to the porch of Cabin Six, which was locked from the outside.

The screaming had grown to multiple voices. I distinctly heard Lexi's sobs, and Malcolm yelling. I quickly turned the lock, pushing the door open.

As the door swung in, I looked around. There were spiders, everywhere. As I looked closer, I saw them glint in the early morning sunlight. They weren't spiders, they were automatons.

Connor Stoll came bounding up the steps, and ran into the cabin, me following. I jumped over the automatons, and over to Annabeth, who had climbed onto a top bunk, and was sitting with Lexi, shaking.

Lexia was sobbing uncontrollably, her face unnaturally pale.

Connor grabbed his girlfriend, picking her up and carrying her out of the cabin. I did the same to Annabeth, who clung to me for dear life. Lexi was bawling into Connor's shirt.

"Connor, did you plan this?" I asked, with a raised eyebrow.

He shook his head, "Of course not. This isn't funny, it's cruel. It was Travis, Leo, and Annabeth's mortal brothers."

Connor and I carried Lexi and Annabeth into my cabin, setting them down on the bunks.

Lexia, still bawling, clung to Connor's arm, not letting him leave. He gave me an apologetic glance, as I ran out of the door to rescue more Athena kids.

Once I had evacuated the cabin, I went back to my own. Annabeth was sitting, pale, on my bed, in the exact place I'd left her.

Connor had Lexi on his lap, who was sniffling, "Dude, she hasn't moved the entire time."

I sat next to Annabeth, putting an arm around her, "Hey, Annie. They're all gone."

Annabeth let out a little moan, "S-so many..."

I kissed her hair, "I know... I got everyone out of your cabin."

"Who was it?" Annabeth whimpered.

I rubbed her back, "Travis, Leo, Bobby and Matthew."

She slowly stood up, "I'm going to borrow some of your clothes."

I nodded, as she was in short-shorts and a camisole. She went into the bathroom with some of my sweats, and a T-Shirt.

CONNOR POV

Once Lexia's sobbing had faded into sniffling, I turned her so she faced me, "Hey Lexi... You okay?"

She shook her head miserably, "Did you plan that?"

"No. Travis, Leo, and Annabeth's mortal brothers did. Let's go to the Apollo cabin so you can get some clothes from Lyrical. I don't know how long the spiders will stay in your cabin."

I slipped an arm around her waist, and led her out the door. Mortals were milling around, looking confused. Mr. Burke ran up, obviously shocked to see his daughter's red, tear stained face.

He looked at me angrily, "Did you do this?"

I shook my head, "No sir. It was a prank. I didn't have a part in it."

We walked to the gleaming Apollo cabin, and I knocked on the door. A disheveled Will answered the door, "Whad'ya want?" He asked sleepily.

Lyrical appeared behind him, "Lexi?"

She raised an eyebrow at me, "What happened?"

I sighed, "Prank, spiders. She needs clothes, can she borrow yours?"

Lyrical nodded, and I kissed Lexi's cheek, leaving her with her best friend.

RACHEL POV- AT BREAKFAST

I sat down at the head table next to Chiron, enjoying my pancakes. As the last of the campers trickled in, I noticed Percy escort a pale Annabeth to her table. That was odd. I wondered if that had anything to do with the scream I heard from my cave this morning.

After breakfast, Chiron stood up for announcements,

"Good morning all. I am terribly sorry for the loud awakening you all had this morning. Travis, I suggest you don't prank the Athena cabin again. I'll leave your punishment in Annabeth's capable hands."

I saw Annabeth smirk from the Athena table.

"Jason, Reyna please remain with the groups you had yesterday. Dismissed!"

~I'm just a line breaker, don't mind me...~

3RD PERSON- AFTER BREAKFAST

Percy stormed out of the pavilion, grabbing Travis by the shoulder,

"What is your problem?"

Travis backed up, his hands held in surrender, "It was just a prank, dude!"

Percy was seething, "Annabeth's still pale, and the rest of the cabin's still freaking out! That's not funny!"

"Okay, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to go that far."

Percy sighed, "Look, Travis. I know you didn't mean any harm, but you really need to think your plans through. Now you have a bunch of very smart, very angry, children of the battle strategy goddess after you. I think that's punishment enough."

Percy stalked away, probably looking for Annabeth, and Travis moaned, walking down to the arena.

Up in the pavilion, Lexia and Connor walked out, Lexia fuming,

"Connor Stoll! I can't believe you knew about that! Why didn't you tell me?"

Connor looked at his feet, bright red, "I'm sorry... I didn't think about it."

"Obviously!" Lexi scoffed, "You didn't even try to stop Travis!"

"I'm really sorry, Lexi! You have every right to be furious with me. I wouldn't blame you if you hated me."

"I don't hate you..." Lexia sighed, "My dad does, though."

"Oh, crap."

Lexia shrugged, "Eh. I don't really care about his opinion. But I'm still mad at you."

"I'll make it up to you. I promise." Connor walked off.

"Wait!" Lexi called after him, "We have sword fighting now!"

Connor waved it off, "I know! I have to go do something! I see you later! I love you."

Lexi sighed defeatedly, "I love you too."

~I'm just a line breaker, don't mind me...~

The next time Lexia saw Connor, it was right before lunch, when she was walking to her cabin to change out of her sweat-soaked clothes.

"Lex!" Connor called.

Lexi turned, "Hey Connor. I really have to go change, I'm really sweaty, and some newbie shot me with an arrow, and my shirt has blood all over it."

Connor winced at the blood streaks arm, "Oh. Do you need some ambrosia?"

She nodded, "I'm getting some from my bag. Just wait here, I'll be right out."

As Lexia walked into the gray cabin, Connor pulled out a small, brown trunk. Grinning, he took a green bow out from his backpack, and stuck it on said trunk.

As Lexi walked out of the cabin in clean clothes, pulling her hair into a ponytail, Connor picked up the trunk, holding it out to his girlfriend, "Happy early Anniversary!"

Lexi's eyes widened as she opened the truck, "Oh my gods! Connor, you got me the Harry Potter box set!"

She hugged him quickly, jumping up and down, "It's so awesome! Thank you so much!"

Connor smiled, "So you like it? I didn't even steal it!"

"Like it? I love it! Do you want me to get you your present? It's in my cabi-"

Connor cut her off, "No, it's fine. I'm getting you something else on the actual day."

Lexi crushed him in another hug, "Thanks. Now, lets get to lunch, I'm starving."

~I'm just a line breaker, don't mind me...~

AFTER LUNCH- ANNABETH CONFRONTS THE TWINS

Annabeth stormed out of the pavilion, "Bobby! Matthew!"

The twins turned around, smiling, "Hey Annie!"

"Don't call me that! Why did you help Travis and Leo fill my cabin with spiders?" Annabeth screeched.

Bobby shrugged, "You've been ignoring us the entire time we've been here."

Annabeth sighed, "I'm sorry, guys. How about we get Dad and Karen and have some family time?"

Matthew nodded, and grabbed Annabeth's hand, pulling her away, Bobby following.

Look's like Annabeth's plan to bond with her family is working after all.

A/N: So...?

I'm beginning to love 3rd Person...

The last few chapters have been short, because I NEED MORE IDEAS!

They are what keeps this story alive, without them, it becomes one of my many unfinished fanfictions... And we don't want that, do we?

Seriously, the Harry Potter box set that comes in the trunk would be like... THE BEST GIFT EVER. Connor knows his girlfriend so well...

I seriously have no life... I write a chapter, the next day I edit it, then write the next chapter, the next day I edit it, and write the next chapter, and the cycle goes on and on... And somehow, I even have time to write one shots!

I need to get a life...

Peace, Love and Percy Jackson,

-Lexia
