Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated until now. I fell asleep this morning, when I was planning on doing it, then I had a friend over, then we went to dinner, and then I got sidetracked.

Anyways,

ELJOY!

Travis Stoll checked his watch.

"We have 1 hour! Let's get in our costumes!" He yelled to his brother, Connor Stoll.

Travis and Connor were in their cabin at camp Half Blood. The Hermes cabin. It was currently filled with kids of all ages running around screaming at each other. Why, you might ask? It was Halloween at Camp Half Blood!

Halloween at Camp Half Blood consists of every camper, no matter what age, getting into a costume. Then they take the large camp vans, stuff all of the kids in them, then they all drive to New York City, where they go trick or treating. All of the kids had to stay in one group though.

Now, Travis and Connor preferred trick over treat. Although they would happily take either.

As Travis surveyed the cabin, he was proud of his cabin. Holly was a vampire. Tori was dressed as a robber. Mike was a werewolf, and so on. The only person he was not proud of came through the doors of the cabin just then.

It was none other than Conner. The reason why Travis was considering ditching Connor was because of the costume he was wearing.

Connor was dressed as a cactus. With pink flowers.

"Hey bro! Here's your costume!" Connor said excitedly while tossing Travis his costume. Travis instantly regretted letting Connor pick out his costume.

It was the exact same thing Connor was wearing.

What happened next was the worst.

Connor threw matching costumes to the rest of the Hermes cabin.

"We'll be the Cactus Crowd!" Connor yelled. The rest of the cabin just stared.

"Come on guys! Go get changed!" Connor told them, and they all grudgingly walked off.

20 minutes later, the Cactus Crowd had gathered back outside the Hermes cabin.

"Come on guys! Lets go get some candy!" Connor yelled, followed by a bunch of half hearted 'yay's and 'let's go's.

The Cactus Crowd trudged up to the camp vans. A few snickers were heard from members of the other cabins.

Slowly, all of the Camp Half Blood campers squished into the vans.

"Trick or Treat!" The Hermes campers yelled.

The campers had decided to split up. The Hermes cabin had taken a wealthy apartment building in Manhattan.

The equivalent of a large bag of candy was dropped into each of their bags, and all o dThe children's faces broke out into huge smiles.

They had just knocked on the second-to-last door in the hallway of the fourth floor.

The last door was creepier than the others. It was painted gray instead if the others shades of white, red, and blue (yes, the apartment building looked like a street corner after a Fourth of July parade). It had a skull door knocker and large bowl of candy on a small wooden table. Above the table was a piece of paper with large, blocky all-caps letters. On the paper 'TAKE, IF YOU DARE' was written.

The kids weren't sure what would happen if they took some, but they were demigods! Most of them had fought in a war, and all of them had killed hundreds of monsters.

Travis had decided to take some candy, and he reached in for a bag of candy corn. He slowly picked it up and put it in his bag, letting out a breath he wasn't aware he was holding. He turned to his fellow campers.

"See, everything is fine-" Travis was cut off by the sound of an old door slowly creeping open. He slowly turned around and came face to face with-

"GHOST CACTUS!" Travis screamed like a seven year old girl. Correction, like a six year old girl. Little seven year old Julia's scream was manlier.

All of the campers raced down the hallway. The ghost cactus ran after them. All of the kids crammed themselves into the elevator, and Connor hurriedly pressed the button. The elevator doors closed before the ghost cactus could get in.

They slowly went down to the lobby, listening to Connor humming the elevator music until Holly slapped him.

They got out and the lights flickered for a moment. Then they came back on, and the ghost cactus was standing right in front of Connor. All of the kids ran out the front door of the lobby, screaming about th ghost cactus.

Then Percy and the Athena cabin kids came out from their hiding spot.

"And that is why you should always use special effects on Halloween." Malcolm, one of Athena's sons, said.

A/N:

Hope you guys liked it! I had no idea why there's a ghost cactus in there, as I can't control my writing. It just... Happens.

BTW: if I have no reviews by the morning (morning where I live) I will decide the word on my own.

PLEASE REVIEW AND SUGGEST LETTER D IDEAS!

Thanks for reading,
