Jason woke up to Piper's blurred face and Leo's less then 10 centimetres away from his. He jerked back. "He's awake," Leo declared. Piper growled and pulled him upright, then she bent down and looked at Jason with those big kaleidoscope eyes. "Are you okay?" she asked, worried. Jason blinked a couple of times then nodded, Leo voice cut through his daze,

"Man! You shoulda seen that video! You almost killed the camera! It got over a thousand views on Facebook, it was awes-"

"LEO," Piper made out through gritted teeth, "Why. Don't. You. Tell. Chiron. He's. Up."

Leo backed off at once. "Okay, Princess, calm down…" he slowly edged to the door, and then turned and ran the second he got past the threshold.

Jason smiled although his face screeched at him for it. "I love having a aggressive girlfriend." He slurred.

Piper flashed him a smile. "Why thank you Sparky." He bowed mockingly, harder than it sounds, seeing as he was lying in a bed and bowing with a body that had been struck by lightening sixty times over.

Then, Leo appeared skirting around the door-frame, followed by Annabeth and Percy. Percy came forward and squinted at him from a few feet away. "Yo," he nodded.

Annabeth shot him a glare. "We brought sweets to help you," she apologised to Jason, then scowled again at Percy, who backed away quickly, "Only some complete and utter idiot ate them!"

Percy joined Leo, leaning against the Wall of Shame. "What is it with the females in this group being so violent?" Percy muttered. Leo began to shrug but froze when Annabeth and Piper turned slowly to glare at them menacingly. Annabeth's hand drifted towards her knife. Percy and Leo froze and began to slide across the wall, notchantly, trying to reach the door without being impaled. Piper and Annabeth turned back to Jason, sharing the faintest of smiles.

"So, why aren't you immune?" Annabeth spoke a while later. Jason frowned at her,

"What?" he stared at her, totally confused. Annabeth put on her thinking face, and carried on talking. "Well, Leo sets himself on fire, Leo fine. Percy tries to drown himself. Percy fine. Jason electrocutes himself. BOOM!" she yelled suddenly, making them jump. She smiled a little. Piper tilted her head. "Good point…" she replied vaguely. Jason yawned suddenly, making Piper immediately tuck him in and do motherly/girlfriend-ly things, like giving him one last drink of nectar etc. Annabeth looked out of the window in the infirmary and frowned. It was almost pitch black, it had gotten dark quickly.

"Wha-" Jason was cut of by another yawn. Piper sorted his pillow and sheets then kissed his forehead. "Sleep." She said firmly. Jason sighed, looked up at her balefully and turned over. "Ill be back." Promised Piper as she walked out after Annabeth.

Dakota looked at his phone out of the corner of his eye. He glugged down the pitcher of red Kool-aid in hi s hand, whilst scrolling through his Facebook. Some Koll-aid splashed over the rim and landed on the table he usually sat on. It congealed onto the wooden surface, along with countless other splashes.

He had a new tag. "Ice Bucket Challenge." He muttered around the tirade of Kool-aid passing his lips. "Eh." He couldn't do it. He did have Kool-aid to drink, after all. And now he had 'borrowed' the ever-replenishing cup from the mess hall, he could have it all day. "Hey, Dakota?" called Gwen from another room, in the cohort. Dakota choked a little on his drink, slammed the cup on the table and wiped his red-stained lips on his sleeve. To no avail, his lips would forever by bright red. Gwen put her blonde head around the door. Dakota had always had a little crush. She was so pretty, so kind to everyone, including him, Dakota. She never mocked him for drinking so much Kool-aid.

He smiled at her, showing off his crimson teeth, also dyed from the drink. Gwen smiled back and came to perch on top of the table.

"Are you going to do the Ice Bucket Challenge?" she asked, swinging her legs. Dakota nodded instantly. "Yep, uh-huh, totally, totes, deffo, yep- uh wait…" he babbled. Gwen laughed softly. "Me too. When you going to do it?" she questioned. Dakota thought for millisecond. "Later. This afternoon. Whadda bout you?" he was garbling his words, hoping Gwen wouldn't notice. "Same," she smiled.

"GWEN! I NEED YOUR HELP! ITS REBELLING! HELP" a voice shrieked from the room Gwen had come in from. Gwen sighed and got up, "Sorry, I was helping Natash-"another scream assaulted Dakota's eardrums. There was a popping noise after and it all went quiet. "Uh-oh…" Gwen glanced at the door, "I'd better go check…" and she dashed out the room. Dakota scowled and picked up the pitcher…

That afternoon…

Dakota smiled happily down at the bucket in front of him. Frank leaned closer to the screen, the water didn't seem right, it was too red. He frowned, probably the bucket tinting the surface.

"I'm not going to nominate anyone, because most people have done it already. If you haven't done it, I nominate you. Thanks to Jason for nominating me,"

Then he picked up the bucket and tipped it over himself. Frank smiled a little. He had been right; there was something wrong with the water.

It had been Kool-aid.
