Connor's P.O.V.

"Rubber spiders?"

"Got 'em."

"Tape?"

"Yup."

"Fake cobwebs?"

"Uh-huh."

"Silly string?"

"Yes."

"And...Spray paint."

"Got that."

"All right!" Travis Stoll, my brother, gave me a high-five.

"This is gonna be so awesome!" I cried.

"I know, right?"

I was so excited. A few days ago, our dad, Hermes stopped by and dropped off a package for Travis' birthday. The package was wrapped crudely with brown paper. Scrawled on it was two words: Joke Kit. Travis had tore open the paper to reveal a tiny box, no bigger than a tennis ball. But when you opened it, a door appeared. It lead to a large hallway filled with all the sorts of stuff we needed to play pranks. We didn't have to buy our supplies anymore. We had an enormous stash. Still, it didn't mean we couldn't steal some from the camp store.

While the Athena cabin was at target practice, we snuck in quietly. Travis started taping up the fake cobwebs right in front of the door and by the bunks. I took the spray paint and started vandalizing the room with words like "Nerds" and "Geek". I also spray-painted spiders on the walls.

We squirted silly string all over the room. Then we pushed the bunks in any direction, took out clothes and dumped them on the floor, and photocopied their plans and scribbled on them. On Annabeth's bunk, I wrote:

I LOVE PERCY! I'M HOT AND SEXY.

Travis burst out laughing at that.

"Dude," he wheezed, "that is so original."

"I know."

We tied a bucket of rubber spiders to the door, so if you went in, sticky string and spiders would fall on your head.

I stepped back on the grass to admire my handiwork. The outside looked normal, but the inside? Well, that was another story.

"Hand me the red spray paint can," I said to Travis.

I took it and painted the owl with huge x'ed out eyes and its tongue sticking out. Then I wrote in big letters on the cabin door:

THEENY'S GEEK CABIN

Annabeth hated me calling Athena 'Theeny'. It was a nickname I made up.

"Its Athena," she insisted. "Say it with me. Athena."

"Whatever."

"Nice touch," Travis commented. "Love it."

"Yeah. I know."

We sprinted back to the cabin and stuffed our equipment under the bunk.

"I can't wait until they find out," I whispered.

We shared a smirk.

Travis' P.O.V.

A scream woke me up from my nap.

What? I thought groggily. Oh, yeah. The Athena cabin.

There was a loud rap on the door and an furious Annabeth stormed in.

"WHY THE HECK DID YOU DO IT!" she screamed.

"Do what?" Connor yawned.

"YOU KNOW!" she shouted.

"Geez. Chill, Annabeth," Connor said. "What's your problem?"

"MY PROBLEM? WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM? I'M TELLING CHIRON!"

With that, she stomped out.

"Tattletale," I muttered.

Connor's P.O.V.

Great, I thought. We're toast.

Travis and I walked into the ping-pong room. Mr. D, Chiron, and the cabin counselors sat there with a fuming Annabeth. Percy sat by her side, trying to calm her down. He gave us a wink.

"Hey, dudes," I said nonchalantly.

"Hey, what?" Annabeth growled. "How about 'Hey, I'm gonna rip your heads off now?'"

"Miss Chase," Chiron said in a cool voice, "please watch your manners."

"But they -"

"We haven't proven anything yet."

"That's right, Theeny's girl," I teased.

"You too, Mr. Stoll," Chiron warned.

Annabeth glared at me.

"Now, what happened?"

"They wrote on the walls of my cabin, spray painted the stone owl, scribbled on our plans..."

Travis yawned. He looked as bored as I was.

And the same thing again. We're going to have to wash the toilets, clean up the cabins, and a whole lot of other blah.

"...And painted on my bunk: I LOVE PERCY! I'M HOT AND SEXY!"

The room was quiet for a second before everyone burst out laughing. I even got a few chuckles myself. I wasn't worried about my fate at all.

"It's not funny!" she yelled. Her face turned beet red.

"Hey, Wise Girl, calm down," Percy said.

"I can't calm down! Don't you see that, Seaweed Brain? I can't!"

"Annabeth -"

"Percy!"

Percy leaned over and kissed her. The room fell silent again.

"Um..." Travis averted his eyes.

"That was...unecessary," I said while looking at the ceiling.

When they were finished, Chiron cleared his throat.

"Can you prove that they did it?" Chiron asked.

"Um...Well...no. I guess," she said quietly.

"Awesome!" I gave Travis a high-five.

"Except that they have red and black paint on their hands," she said quickly.

Nico grinned at me. "Busted."

I groaned. "But it was so much fun."

"We couldn't help it," Travis added.

"Who gave you the supplies," Chiron asked.

"Dad."

"See. I told you that Hermes was a troublemaker," Mr. D muttered.

"Anyway, I'm sure we'll have to wash the floors and that load of stuff right?" I said glumly.

"Actually, no. You'll be doing that and be cleaning the Athena cabin for the rest of camp this year."

"What?"

"Man, you're kidding," Travis exclaimed.

"You've got to be joking." I slammed my hand on the table.

"No, I am not, dude," Chiron answered.

"Oh boy."

Annabeth snickered.

Travis' P.O.V.

The next morning, we reported for duty at the Athena cabin. They had left everything there it was worse than yesterday. Even though we had to clean up our stuff, we still found some useful things. Connor discovered some almost-empty bottles of spray paint. I uncovered some extra silly string we dropped. We could still use the spiders and fake cobwebs.

"So," I whispered. "What cabin are we doing next?"

"How about..." He hissed the cabin name in my ear.

I looked at him and grinned. "Sure."

"GET BACK TO WORK!" Annabeth barked. "You still have a lot to go."

As we scrubbed the walls, I shared a secret smile with Connor.

This might be hard, BUT PLEASE REVIEW!
