A/N: this is a one-shot of the prank mentioned in my other story Awesomeness.

The Prank

Percy POV

"Can we go yet?" my brother asked me. "No, not yet," I whispered back to him. "We can go inside in fifteen minutes," Apollo whispered urgently to us. "Awesome!" me, Hermes and Triton whisper-yelled. We saw Ares coming and hid behind a bush. We arrived at his palace and Hermes took out his laptop and hacked into his system. Then he made the surveillance cameras go in a loop so that the same video would repeat but with the correct time on it.

We snuck in the door carrying all of our supplies and started to get ready. I put a bucket of silver paint on top of the door into the palace and rigged so that it would fall when he opened the door. Triton put hot pink hair dye in his shampoo. I know, a god uses shampoo? Yes, we do. Apollo took out his candy land setting and switched it with Ares' army one and painted the soldiers pink and put them on it. Hermes was putting traps all around. Then when we finished those jobs, we gave the palace a makeover on the outside. I know, I know, we're eveil, but I'm proud of it.

"Oomph!" Triton fell and I had to contain my laughter. Apollo was laughing openly though, so was Hermes. "Not funny, guys," Triton said. "If it isn't, then why are we laughing?" Apollo shot back. Triton shut up after that.

"Guys, quick! He's coming back," Hermes warned us. We put our finishing touches and quickly left they palace before he got there.

After we left the palace, we teleported to the throne room, where the gods were waiting for us to begin the winter solstice. We took our seats at our thrones, and waited for it to began.

"Where is Ares?" Zeus asked. "He could be in Tartarus for all I care," Hephaestus grunted. I chuckled at that, so true, I thought.

Athena was about to open her mouth to speak when Ares barged into the throne room with pink hair. "Jackson!" he roared. "Yes?" I asked. "What is the meaning of this?" he growled. "The meaning of what, dear cousin?" I asked sweetly. "My hair!" He yelled. Wow, he is MAD. "Why do you automatically assume that I did it?" "Well," he spluttered. "Exactly," I stated.

"Well, Ares, tell me the full story, NOW!" the king of the gods demanded. "I left my palace for a while and when I got back, it was all messed up and it was painted in pink. There was a sign saying 'Ares sucks. The sea PWNS all' " He concluded. "Well it could have been Eros, or one of the minor gods. Now get that pink out of your hair." He ordered. Ares left the throne room and as soon as he left, all of us burst out laughing. Me, Apollo, Hermes and Triton the hardest.

"Did you do it son?" Poseidon managed through his fits of laughter. "Not just me, I had some help you know," I replied. Greatest prank EVER! As soon as I said that, he looked at my partners in crime. After the meeting was over, me and my friends went to my palace. "Did you see his face? I can't believe that he believed you!" Hermes said. "I know! So dumb," Triton chortled. "Yeah," Apollo agreed. We walked in and saw Ares waiting for us. "Well cousins, I hope you had fun because you won't have any for a while." He laughed evilly. "And I suppose a great war god like you is going to beat us?" I said sarcasticly.

And with that, he chased and we ran like Hades, laughing our heads off.
