Chapter 4- Connor gets busted and Percy tastes the rainbow

Connor P.O.V.

"Who wants to go next?" Nico asked. I finally managed to stop laughing. I raised my arm.

"I'll go next Nico," I said.

"Truth or dare Connor?" Nico asked innocently. Yeah innocently.

"Dare. Give me your best dare di Angelo." Nico grinned.

"I dare you to try to give Clarisse a kiss," Nico told me. Everybody started laughing. My eyes widened. Why Clarisse, the biggest girl of all in the Ares cabin? Why me? Did Nico just want me to die?

"Good luck man, you're gonna need it," Percy told me. I grumbled under my breath. Like I needed to know that. Travis patted me on my back.

"If you die, can I have your ibeats and your new laptop?" Travis asked me. [a/n ibeats are really good earphones, but they're expensive]

"What? No, you may NOT have my ibeats and my new laptop I got from dad!" I yelled at him.

"Backing out?" Nico asked me. I clenched my jaw.

"No. Let's go do this." I turned around and started to walk towards the arena. Sure enough, Clarisse was there chopping up dummies as if she did that for a living. Clarisse probably did. I stopped at the entrance of the arena.

"On, second thought, I think I'll pass," I said backing away.

"Oh no you don't," Matthew said pushing me into the arena.

"Clarisse!" Matthew yelled. She stopped what she was doing. Matthew ran out of the arena as fast as he could. I gulped.

"H-hey Clarisse. What's up?" I asked her. She looked mad.

"What do you want?" She asked.

"I was just thinking about how n-nice your hair looks," I told her getting closer to her. Clarisse dropped her sword. She was too confused to even back away.

"What!" She screeched. I held my breath and before I lost the courage, I went to put my lips to hers. Clarisse saw what I was going to do; she punched me square in the jaw. Did I forget to mention she punches really, really hard? The last thing I remember is Clarisse punching me in the face again. I blacked out.

Matthew's P.O.V.

Holy crap! Clarisse knocked Connor out! Clarisse punched him again. I ran towards her.

"Clarisse stop!" I screamed. She looked up. He sneer was not pretty.

"Who told him to do that? Was it you!" she asked, beyond being mad.

"What? No!" I told Clarisse as I dodged one of her punches. Everybody else came over.

"It was me!" Nico yelled. Well, that was pretty stupid of him. Clarisse face was a face of pure hatred. She started to chase Nico around camp. I prayed to my dad, Apollo that he doesn't get hurt that much. Everyone formed a circle around Connor. We were all on our knees.

"Holy crap! Do you think he's dead? Does that mean I get his stuff?" Travis asked. Gabby slapped him on the back of his forehead.

"How could you even think that?" Gabby yelled. Travis rubbed the back of his head and muttered a "sorry". I heard Percy snort.

"Looks whose nose is busted up now!" Percy told the unconscious Connor.

"Um, Percy, Travis told you that," Annabeth said.

"Oh," Percy said. I rolled my eyes. Maybe Percy really has a head full of seaweed. Connor wasn't looking so good. He's nose looked broken and his lip was busted. I could fix that. I'm Apollo's kid.

"What do we do?" Gabby asked. She put Connor's head in her lap.

"He'll probably wake up soon. I heal him when he wakes up," I said. As if on cue, Connor's eyes fluttered open. He started at Gabby's face.

"Hey Gab. You have nice eyes you know that?" Connor told her. Gabby's eyebrows scrunched up together.

"Are you okay Connor?" She asked him. He sat up with the support of Gabby. He looked at us confused.

"Is there something on my face? Travis what did you do?" Connor asked.

"Yeah, you do have something on your face it's –"Annabeth started.

"Blood," Percy finished. Connor ran to a shield and looked in at. His face dropped in horror.

"Oh my gods! My face! My beautiful face!" Connor exclaimed. Travis and I busted out laughing. He turned and glared at us.

"It's not funny!" Connor yelled. He sprang up.

"Where's Nico?" He asked.

"Probably got killed by Clarisse," Gabby told him.

"Good," Connor said. He pointed at me.

"Can you fix my nose?" Connor asked. I nodded still laughing. Connor came over and I put my hand in front of his face. I muttered a hymn to Apollo. I felt some healing power come out of me and go into Connor. I put my hand down and felt tired. Connor looked better. He glowed with new health. Annabeth and Gabby raised an eyebrow at me.

"Are you alright?" They both asked at the same time. I nodded. Suddenly, a shadow started to take a form of a boy. It was Nico. He smiled.

"Did I miss anything?" Connor glared at him. Nico just laughed.

"You seem fine Connor." Nico said.

"Yeah that's because Matthew healed me." Connor said.

"I believe it is my turn. Truth or dare Percy?" Connor asked. Percy frowned.

"Why me and not Nico?" Percy asked. Connor just grinned.

"Because I'll just prank him later," Connor said. Nico eyes winded in horror. That was worse than a dare. I hope Nico sleeps with one eye open tonight and forever.

Percy's P.O.V.

"Dare," I told Connor. He grinned.

"I dare you to go into the Iris cabin and ask them what a rainbow tastes like. If they tell you that's impossible; throw skittles at them and ask if they can taste the rainbow now." Everyone laughed. Last time someone did that, they had rainbow hair for a week.

"Get ready to have rainbow hair for a week!" Gabby laughed. I walked towards the Iris cabin while everyone trailed behind me. I opened the door, relieved to only see Cora in the cabin. Cora was the senior consular for the Iris cabin. Cora had eyes that always changed color and reddish brown hair that was wavy and stopped a little passed her shoulder. She looked up from the book she was reading.

"Hey Percy! What's up?" Cora asked. She was a bubbly person. You could never get mad at her. Cora was a really sweet girl. Cora is 17. I felt bad doing this dare to her, but a dare is a dare.

"What does a rainbow taste like?" I asked innocently. Cora frowned.

"What are you talking about?" Cora asked.

"What does a rainbow taste like?" I asked her again.

"You can't taste a rainbow."

"Yes you can."

"No you can't."

"YES!"

"NO! I would have told people already what a rainbow taste like if you could taste a rainbow but you can't!" Cora yelled. She was getting angry at me, I could tell because colors danced on her fingertips. I pulled the package of skittles out of my pocket. Travis gave them to me. I shook it in front of her face.

"Well, THIS says you can!" I shouted. I heard laughter from outside. Cora didn't seem to notice.

"That's candy!" She yelled. I opened them and threw them at her.

"TASTE THE RAINBOW!" I screamed at her. Cora said something in Ancient Greek. I couldn't understand because I ran outside. I shut the door and I ran to my cabin. Soon everyone followed. Everybody went inside and started cracking up again. Then Gabby gasped. Everyone looked at me. All the guys laughed again. Annabeth's jaw dropped.

"Your hair is-"

"RED!" Gabby screamed. I yelped and looked in the mirror. Sure enough my hair was red. I looked like a Rachel Elizabeth Dare in guy version.

"My hair," I groaned. I gritted my teeth. I needed to dare someone now.

Like? Review! I'm in the mood for skittles now. Love ya =]
