Leo was unusually bored. He had the common urge for mischief and his fingers were tingling with excitement – he wanted to play a prank (no surprise there!) but, for some reason, he couldn't think of one. That's right – he, LEO VALDEZ, couldn't think of a PRANK. As he walked around Camp, he happened to see the Hypnos kid, whatever his name was, coming out of his cabin, looking drowsy, dressed in his pajamas and holding a stuffed teddy bear in his hand – as if he had just got out his bed. Instead of getting amused to see a Hypnos kid actually leaving his cabin; Leo's attention went straight to the teddy bear….
"That's it! OMG! This is perfect!" he yelled, as somewhere, deep down in his thick skull, a light bulb lit up. He then went on to hit himself on the head for using the expression "OMG".
Leo proceeded conjure up the "perfect" plan for his prank. He then stealthily (not) stole eighty teddy bears from everywhere he could find. He started off in his own cabin, inspecting people's bunkers. The only teddy bears he found in Cabin 9 were in this new eight year old Camper, Greg's bed, and…..in Beckendorf's bed. Huh. Who knew that tough a guy actually slept with a teddy bear? Maybe Leo could use it for blackmail later….
He then proceeded to find teddy bears in Percy's cabin (it was hard to believe that the guy who slept with the blue teddy bear had saved the world), the Aphrodite cabin, and almost all the other cabins except the Ares and Hades cabins. Soon he had teddy bears enough to please even Octavian. Leo stuffed all of these bears in a huge bag. They were of all shapes and sizes – some big, some small, some pink, some blue, some rainbow colored (Iris Campers) and some were just classic teddy bears. Leo carried this bag of teddy bears (with immense difficulty and zero stealth) to the Big House's armory closet and stuffed all of them inside. It was a tight squeeze and pushing the closet doors shut was as difficult as pushing Clarisse La Rue into anything, but he finally managed it.
Leo then casually strolled out of the Big House (maybe a little too casually) and pretended to go back to being bored. It was gonna be perfect! He was hoping Clarisse would open the closet and have all the fluffy, cuddly teddy bears tumble down on her. She would turn downright red! But it would be fine if it was anyone else too – except Chiron or Dionysus (the wine god wasn't at good terms with stuffed animals. But there was no way that was gonna happen – Mr. D was about as athletic as a sloth)
Leo walked out of the Big House casually (maybe a little too casually) and walked towards that part of Camp where all the activities were held. Connor Stoll caught sight of him, dropped the bow and arrow he had been nocking and ran towards him.
"Leo!" he cried. "Guess what? So Dionysus saw me drop all my arrows" he took immense pride in talking about the fact that he had dropped all his arrows. "And he was all like 'Careful there, Steal! You aren't gonna get anywhere with the ladies with such amazing skills!' and then he pointed to all the arrows on the ground. So I asked him if he could do any better and he took it as a personal challenge to his authority and now he's gone to the Big House to get a bow and arrow for himself! Oh, my god! I can bet you anything that he's totally gonna SUCK at archery! The guy can't even hold a bow!"
"Wait, what?" Leo said, shocked. "He's gone to the ARMORY CLOSET, hasn't he?!"
"Well," said Connor. "I take that that's where he's gone, but what's up with you? Why do you look so….terror-stricken?"
"Oh, it's nothing!" Leo said with a nervous laugh and then ran to the Big House as he saw Dionysus entering it from a distance. It was difficult catching up with Mr. D because of the huge distance between them. Leo reached the armory closet just as Dionysus's hand was on the handle of the closet. Before Leo could tell him to stop, Dionysus opened the closet and all of the eighty teddy bears tumbled down upon him.
Dionysus was completely buried under the pile of teddy bears. Four huge teddy bears were tossed aside, revealing Mr. D's face and hands. He noticed Leo standing just at the door of the room and said, with his voice dangerously calm, "Something tells me you're behind this…"
There was a short pause and Dionysus sighed aggressively, "LEEN VALERIE!" his voice in no attempt to keep calm anymore...
