"Hey! I have an idea!" Percy said, sticking a finger up in the air.

Beckendorf stared at him in pure annoyance, "What?"

"Well, I was thinking-" Percy started, but Beckendorf cut in.

"Oh no. When you think nothing goes right."

"Hey!" Percy shouted, defending himself, "It's a start. At least I'm thinking something." Beckendorf shrugged.

"Anyway, I was thinking that we could sneak into some theater and steal some clothes from there," Percy suggested.

"Not a bad idea", Beckendorf said, as Percy looked smug,"But where are we going to find a drama department?"

"I don't know. Your turn to come up with something," Percy told him.

"Maybe we should just give the Aphrodite cabin a try," Beckendorf suggested, turning back to their former idea.

Percy, looking horrified, answered, " No way in Hades, dude. You and I BOTH had daydreams about that. And I don't know about you, but I definitely don't want mine to come true." Beckendorf thought about that for a second. A lightbulb went off in his head.

"But we had daydreams about the Aphrodite girls. Maybe if we ask one of the Aphrodite guys..." Beckendorf trailed off.

Percy replied, "Like who? I'm not exactly BFFS with any of those campers. How am supposed to ask them to steal clothes from their own siblings?"

Beckendorf smiled mischievously. He rubbed his hands together like a villain preparing for a devious plan. Percy half expected for the evil "mua-ha-ha-ha" cackle to escape from Beckendorf's lips. "I can be very persuasive..." he said.

Percy wondered what he could possibly have had in mind but shook it off. They had (finally) thought of a logical plan.

Percy and Beckendorf arrived back at camp with the jewelry bags in their hands, causing a few awkward glances from the other campers.

"Hey Percy! Did you buy that for Annabeth?" teased a familiar voice.

"Shut up, Malcolm!" Percy yelled, turning bright red, but the damage was done. The campers in the area were already holding back giggles. Unfortunately, as the boys were trying to escape, Percy ran smack into the one person he didn't want to smack into at the moment. Annabeth.

"Watch where you're going, Seaweed Brain!" she laughed.

"Sorry! I was just...uh...going over to my...uh..." Percy stumbled.

"That's okay, Percy," she said, laughing again. "Wait, what are you carrying?" Annabeth's giggles stopped as her eyes shifted to the tiny purple bags in their hands.

"Umm...it's nothing." Percy lied.

"Are you sure? I know that you would never go to a mall just to get those for nothing," Annabeth said, suspiciously.

"Uh, erm...gah..." Percy stalled. He was trying to think of a good lie.

Perce! Percy thought as he was saying nonsense words. Say something! But Beckendorf opened his mouth before Percy could say anything.

"It's for Chiron!" Beckendorf blurted, in a panic.

"The man needs a satchel," Percy added, laughing nervously.

Annabeth's eyes widened, in confusion. "Okay then, I guess. Well, I gotta go. See you guys later,"she said, walking away.

Percy exhaled in relief. Then he glared at his companion. "Chiron? Really?" Beckendorf shrugged as if to say, "It was the first thing I thought of."

After they dropped off the horrid bags in the Poseidon cabin, the boys hurried over to the Aphrodite cabin to talk to Donatello.

"Why Donatello?" Percy complained. Donatello was Percy's least favorite Aphrodite child. He was the spitting image of his mother, but in male form, of course. He was a huge drama queen (or in this case, drama king) and loved to be the center of attention. Donatello had a halo of light brown curls that he kept neat with hairspray, and light green eyes that seemed to "smolder" like in the movie Tangled. He was as buff as Taylor Lautner, and as full of himself as Spencer Pratt. And yet, 1 out of 2 girls at camp had a crush on him. Beckendorf rolled his eyes.

"Look, I know you don't like him, but he's the only one there at the moment, and we need to get outfits like, now."

"Fine..." Percy reluctantly agreed. They walked over to the Aphrodite cabin and found Donatello on the porch of his cabin. It looked like he was looking at photos. Of himself!

"Um, hi Donatello," Percy said awkwardly.

Donatello looked up. His eyebrows knitted in confusion. "Hello."

"Could I ask you a favor?" Percy blurted.

"Well, well, well. Percy Jackson needs my help. That's unusual." Donatello remarked, smiling. He crossed his muscled arms over his chest.

"Sorry, but um..." Percy didn't know what to say.

Beckendorf cut in," We need you to get us some clothes."

Donatello brightened almost immediately. "Oh of course! You came here for my fashion advice! First, I suggest you get rid of all...that," he said, eying Percy.

"No! And hurtful! Whatever, anyway we need uh, girls clothes." Percy replied.

"Wait. WHAT?" Donatello practically yelled in surprise.

"Dude. Be quiet! Yes, we want girls clothes." Beckendorf said, slowly.

"Er, I hope you don't mind my butting in but, WHY?" Donatello said, calmer this time.

"Well..." Percy and Beckendorf explained their plan.

"So...what's in it for me?" said Donatello. Beckendorf's mischievous smile returned.

"Percy will be your butler for a day."

"Whaaaaat?" Percy screeched a little too loudly, attracting the attention of other campers. "We didn't discuss this!" he whisper-yelled.

Donatello grinned. "Deal. Would you rather have the French maid dress or the sparkly sequin suit?"

"Suit." Percy said, glaring at Beckendorf.

"Okay then. Two Aphrodite-tized outfits coming right up!" Donatello said, happily.

"It'll pay off. Trust me." Beckendorf reassured Percy.

"Oh it BETTER! I'm not wearing a sequin suit to get punched in the face by girls." Percy glanced at the dining pavilion. Some campers were already outside, hanging a few streamers and lights. He turned back to Beckendorf. "They're setting up already. Let's grab those outfits and get to my cabin."
