I do not own anything in this book except the plot and a few characters (who will be introduced soon), Rick Riordan owns everything else.

*this is just gonna be a short filler chapter, the party will finally properly start next chapter.*

Percys POV:

McShizzle man and Calypso were waiting downstairs, chatting and eating blue cookies (I made Grover go to my apartment and beg my mom for more of them, she obviously said yes because she's the most amazing mom in the universe). "Yo Sparky, I heard about that dope prank Percy pulled on you and Miss Beauty Queen, by the way congrats,"Leo yelled out when he saw the two coming, looking very flustered if I do say so myself. "My amazing girlfriend Calypso has thought of a ship name for you two as well: Jasper." Jasper sounded nice. Maybe Calypso wasn't all just a pretty face that hung out with the populars. "I was thinking Lightning McQueen because there relationship is gonna strike everyone like lightning and Jason's nickname is sparky, and McQueen because because pipers last name is McLean and we call her beauty Queen." 

 We chatted for a bit about ship names for the couple, and then Thalia changed the subject. "Are we gonna go swimming or what?" Everyone went to go change into their swimwear, and then we went to Pipers car, as she had brought a heap of pool toys, bringing them down to the lake. I grabbed the blue pool noodle and ran up the hill, back to the house with Leo. Then we ran down the hill and jumped into the lake, splashing Piper and Thalia. Calypso wasn't in the water, instead she was suntanning by the shore after promising that she would come in later, once everyone else had arrived. 

Leo's POV:

After 10 minutes in the water, Hazel, Nico, Frank, Katie and Connor and Travis Stoll arrived, and Calypso went to go let them in while Percy told me every little detail about the prank he pulled on Jason and Pipes. Me and Percy had been friends since we had to do this project together for school with Grover, and we bonded over our love for pranks. I could tell that the Stolls were gonna have a hard time pranking him, so Jason would need to watch his back, being the only one gullible enough to be able to pull a prank on. A few minutes after, Will got there, and he and Nico stayed out of the water, preferring to chat together far enough out of the way not to get splashed. The girls decided to get out, saying that the water was too cold, and that's when I got my idea. I beckoned Nico and Will over, chuckling under my breath. As I explained it to the boys, they grinned. "Let's get this show on the road, and prank the girls."

The plan was simple. While the girls were sunning themselves, we would be filling up buckets with the 'too cold' water, and on the count of three, dump them on the girls. While we were filling up the buckets, Frank and Will decided not to help with the prank. Nico, however, was more than happy to have something to do, as long as his sister Hazel didn't get the worst of the water. When we had 5 buckets ready, Me, Percy, Connor, Grover and Travis prepared to dump them on the girls. We crept up behind them, and Nico counted us down on his fingers. 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... The scream that erupted from each of the girls was like a volcano (see what I did there? Erupted and Volcano?), and Thalia said "You have 10 seconds before I go get my paintball guns and we pulverise you." Now it was us boys who were screaming and running away, and I realised why Frank and Will didn't want to do this. Pranking the girls was low key starting WWIII.

Annabeth POV:

I arrived at the house, and I got a message from Piper. "When you get here, done worry about knocking, the door is unlocked so just come on through. We are all down at the lake."  I opened the door just in time to hear a scream from a bare chested Latino boy, Thalia tackling him to the ground and all the girls taking turns to kick him and punch him (Comment down below if you know what this TOA reference is, it is pretty iconic) and the boys laughing their asses off. Piper saw me and came running up to the house, motioning for me and Luke to come down. She was wearing a light pink two piece, which I had to say looked really good on her. "Hey Annie, everyone's here, relax, go swimming, do whatever you want." I listened to her talking, looking at everyone at the party because I didn't know half of them, and then I locked eyes on a muscly boy with jet black hair and sea green eyes. Percy Jackson.
