Percy Jackson-

"I should be the one to do it!" Thalia said.  "I'm older!"

"What?  No, I am." Nico scoffed.

"I'm older, Death Breath," I said.

"Ummm..." Ginny said looking at us strangely.

"You were born before us, sure," I said, "But it isn't like you aged in the Hotel, so you aren't older than me."

"I'm older then you," Thalia told me.

"No you aren't."

"Pretty sure I am." She scowled.  

"I'm eighteen.  You are fifteen." I said.

"The day before I turned sixteen, and Immortal," Thalia spat.  "Besides, I'm technically in my twenties."

"But you were a tree.  Unless you are arguing with Juniper about this, than your tree years don't count."

"How did this even come up?" Ginny asked us.

"He/She started it!" Nico, Thalia and I said in unison.  I was pointing to Thalia, Thalia was pointing at Nico, and Nico was pointing at me.

"I mean, he started it!" Thalia said, and pointed at me.

"What is this, gang up on Percy day?"

"Don't be silly," Nico rolled his eyes.  "That's everyday."

"What if Leo were here?"

"Then we'd have him gang up on you, too." Thalia grinned.

"You guys are brutal." I pouted.  

"It's what we do," Thalia said smugly.

"I thought for a moment you were going to say 'That's what I do.  That's what I live for.'" I snickered.

They three of them turned to look at me, and I flushed.  "Well...Ariel is sort of my niece!"

"She isn't real," Thalia said with a smile on her face.

"Well...Triton is real!  And he does not look like that!  And the movie basically takes place under water!  How could I not watch it?" I asked, blushing slightly.  "Besides, The Little Mermaid and Finding Nemo are the best movies of all time."

"No they aren't," Nico said.

"You don't even watch movies!"  

"Please, you barely watch TV either," Thalia said.  "I bet you only saw those because of the water aspect of it."  When I didn't contradict her, she grinned triumphantly.  "See, I knew it!"

"That was a perfect pun moment!  And you passed it up!" Nico whined. 

"Huh?" Thalia and I said, back and forth at Nico and each other in confusion.

"See." He said if it was obvious.  "Sea." He put more emphasis on the word.  When we still didn't get it, he muttered "Oh, forget it," under his breath.

"You guys still haven't told me how this argument started," Ginny wiped a tear fro one of her eyes.  "Gods, you guys crack me up."

"Oh, well, we are planning to prank Malfoy while he is sleeping." Nico said.

"How would you get into the Common Room?" Ginny asked.  Then she saw the smirks on our faces.  "Never mind.  You demigods have your ways, I assume.  But then what was the fight for?"

"We couldn't all be the one to prank him," Thalia said as if it were obvious.  "Someone needs to keep watch, and someone needs to be the getaway person."
