Piper walked to the Big House to talk to Chiron about cabin inspection when she saw Leo standing outside, in front of a canvas, holding a paintbrush.
"Leo," she said. "Are you…painting?"
"Yeah!" said Leo excited. "It's amazing!"
Piper looked at the huge canvas, only to see a few amateur strokes here and there. "But you haven't made anything yet." She said.
"Oh!" said Leo. "It's such a pain to paint with a brush! It takes a lot of effort and way too much time. Finger – painting is just as bad!"f

Piper raised an eyebrow, "How do you suppose you're gonna paint, then?"
Leo's expression turned thoughtful, "I know!" he exclaimed. "I'll rig up a paint bomb and throw it at this big canvas. It'll be the perfect abstract!"
"Sure," said Piper. "Do that, but make sure your cabin's clean-there's going to be inspection soon."
"Yeah, blah blah blah. LET'S BOMB THE CANVAS!"
Piper sighed and walked into the Big House.
Leo got down to making the bomb. 10 minutes later he picked up the finished bomb, aimed, shut his eyes tight, and threw it, rather vigorously, at the canvas.
A huge 'SPLAT' was heard and he opened his eyes only to see that he and everything around him was coated with colour. He was rinsed in a deep purple while the Big House was coated with yellow and orange paint. The whole camp now looked like a huge palette. The wood nymphs melted into sight, covered with cool colours and they didn't look particularly happy about it. From somewhere in the distance Leo heard Chiron's bellow, "LEO VALDEZ!" This was closely followed by Dionysus shouting, "LEEN VALPECK! What have you done this time!?"
Leo's coloured lips broke into a nervous smile, "I think I might've miscalculated the radius of the explosion!"
"YA THINK?!" the whole camp bellowed collectively. Then several people sighed, "Leo!"
