Third of all,

This happens the year AFTER the war with Dirt face. So.. let's gooo~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Stolls were munching on blue cookies, watching Disney movies. It's not like they had a choice. If it was up to them, they'd be pranking the campers or mortals.

But the campers were on edge. Every time the Stolls were even near a camper, they would act like they had planned a prank on them. Even the Ares campers were on edge. Every night, one of them would stand guard outside their cabin. But the Aphrodite cabin was on high alert, along with the Athena cabin. They would all come out at the slightest disturbance in the night, the Aphrodite Cabin with hairbrushes, make up and daggers. The Athena cabin in full on armor with every imaginable weapon with them. They were both fearsome and the few fauns who incurred the makeup tortures will give proof that you should NEVER mess with the Aphrodite cabin.

That is why Percy took the Stolls and came home. At least, they had blue cookies. The children next door they were supposed to be babysitting were babysitting Percy, leaving the Stolls with more than enough time to plan a good prank. The problem was that they had to be careful. Some gods were frequently visiting camp, like Hermes and Apollo, and they had to be careful not to prank something that would tick them off.

Especially after Annabeth refused to take requests from them after Aphrodite's and Demeter's fight over a fountain. So the gods came to camp with suggestions on how to build stuff for them. And to make matters worse, Athena was constantly hovering around Annabeth and she didn't really approve of how the Stolls spent their time.

So they continued munching on blue cookies and watching the movies.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was Friday night. The Stolls had planned something... fun. All thanks to Percy and a particular Disney movie. They had begged Lou Ellen from Hecate cabin to help in the morning. And before campfire, they had hugged every camper. Just as campfire started, the Stoll brothers snuck out, gathered the materials and went around greeting the Gods and Goddesses who stayed for Campfire. They hoped that Camp Jupiter would be able to make it. But sadly, they had not.

Hermes and Apollo just knew that something was wrong. Or that they were gonna see a prank. They were excited and kept glancing at the brothers from time to time. When it was time for them to sing campfire songs, Will stood up from Apollo's side and said, "There is a very... interesting request for a song tonight. We have decided to sing it last."

The Stoll brothers were disappointed that they'd have to wait a while more. But they decided they'll take the best of it when it happened. The whole camp was in good mood and the fire stood tall and proud in golden hues, at least 12 feet tall. And then, after almost all the campfire songs they knew, Will cleared his throat. "This is from the Stoll brothers. And we were requested to not stop till the end. So those who don't like this too much, bear with us." They could hardly contain their excitement. The whole Apollo cabin began:

"Flower gleam and glow

Let your power shine"

Almost all of the blonde haired campers' and God's hair started glowing. The Apollo campers had stuttered a bit but they didn't stop.

"Make the clock reverse

Bring back what once was mine"

The campers and Gods with other hair colors were looking around at their glowy haired companions.

"Heal what has been hurt

Change the fates' design"

Slowly, everyone's hair turned blonde. Even Percy's and Leo's who were desperately trying to either wash away the color or set their hair on fire.

"Save what has been lost

Bring back what once was mine."

Everyone had glowing blonde hair, almost like a halo around them. Including the Stolls.

"What once was mine~"

The song ended but the glowing hair did not look like it would turn back to normal anytime soon. Poseidon quite enjoyed the blonde glowing hair and was messing with Percy's hair whereas he couldn't take his eyes off Annabeth. Jason and Piper were a blushing mess. Leo decided he looked cool even with glowing hair and tried to not stare at Calypso. Nico became starry eyed the second Will made his way next to him.

Apollo and Hermes were singing the song and Apollo used magic to grow their hair long and they reenacted parts of the movie in a more dramatic way while Dionysus grumbled at them for dancing around him. Chiron let the younger campers put flower crowns on his head. His whole fur was golden instead of white.

All in all, everything was good. The campfire was at least 19 feet high. "We look beautiful" Travis said to his younger brother. "Breathtaking." Connor agreed. "Now?" They asked each other with wicked smiles. "It will last forever!" They shouted into the crowd. And that got the crowd's attention. "WHAT?" "NO!!" came several cries. They silenced the crowd and said, "Unless-" "-you use-" "-a special potion-" "-made by Lou."

"Now, we WILL be charging you. 5 drachmas for a glow removal for one person." Travis stated. "No matter who you are. Friends, parent, or siblings." Connor finished. There was utter silence for a few minutes till the crowd screamed, "STOLLS!!!" And so, that year, everyone had a bead on their necklace with glowing blonde hair painted on it.
