"You think they're buying the whole 'mysterious voice' thing?" Annabeth looked up from her laptop. She was working on a toothbrush that combed your hair too!

"I think so..." Piper glanced at her for a second before looking back at the surveillance footage. She snickered at the fight breaking out between Reyna and Octavian.

"Man this show is awesome!" Leo smiled madly from his director's chair. Calypso hit him on the back of his head. In response, he threw some of his popcorn at her. Before WWIII could begin, Percy and Jason came in from the other room and Frank helped restrain Calypso whole Hazel soothed Leo from using his chair as a popcorn slingshot. Hazel sighed.

"Oh, Leo." She ruffled his hair.

"HEY! No touching the moneymaker." He tried to reshape it, but to no avail. Jason made a face.

"We don't make money, genius." He snickered.

"We don't?!" Percy mock exclaimed, feigning astonishment. In reality, however, he was trying to convince Annabeth to design a phone for demigods so he could take as many selfies as he wanted and post them on Instagram. He also wanted to secretly read Percabeth Fanfiction on Wattpad, but don't tell that to Annabeth.

"Everyone shut up!" Piper yelled, "It's just getting good! Reyna's going to beat the heck outta Octavian. Shhhhh." Frank raised his eyebrows at her.
"What?!" She humphed.

"Piper, get me some skittles." Annabeth put her laptop down, settling into Percy's lap.

"Get your own dam skittles." Piper crossed her arms.

"Who has to deal with seaweed brain on a daily basis? Humn?" Annabeth raised one eyebrow.

"I hate it when you're right." Piper scowled as she stomped off. Percy turned to Annabeth.

"I hate it when you use me as a reason for her to get you skittles, lazy."

"You'll get over it." She whispered, snuggling into him.

"Leo did you play the Piper footage yet?" Calypso asked.  Leo let out a string of Spanish curses. He scrambled to push buttons on the remote.

"Okay, got it." He smirked just as Piper threw the bag of skittles at Annabeth's head. So much for peacefully observing everyone watch their dark, frightening, and traumatic pasts while they secretly recorded them.
