Percy's POV

"Sure," I say, "Lets continue the game. Annabeth, I don't think you've had a turn yet."

"I choose dare," she responds.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, Seaweed Brain, just dare me!"

"Paint Clarrise's shield pink."

"That's the best you could come up with?"

"Yup. Go on."

"Whatever." Annabeth rolled her eyes and walked out of the cabin

Half an hour later she was back in the cabin, her hands stained pink from painting. Clarrise came barging in in no time.

"WHO DID THIS TO MY SHEILD?!" Clarrise held up her hot pink sheild.

"There's this thing." I said, a smirk on my face. "It's called knocking. And shut the door after you come in will you?"

"Was it you, Jackson?!"

I can just imagine the steam coming out of her ears.

"I've been playing Truth or Dare all day, don't look at me."

"It was Nico," Annabeth said calmly, facing Clarrise and examining her nails, her pink palms clearly visible to the furious daughter of Ares. Clarrise turned to Nico.

Clarrise actually bought it, even though she could've easily caught Annabeth pink- handed. She didn't notice? Gods, Ares kids were not as smart when they were angry. I guess Annabeth knew that. Everyone else in the room but Clarrise had to suppress laughs. Even Nico was trying not to smile.

"You're seriously giving in to that? Her hands are pink!" Nico complained sarcastically.

"I don't believe that for a second. I know it was you!"

"Because the wisest person at camp told you so, even though she had the same color paint of your fabulously improved sheild on her guilty hands?"

This didn't insult Annabeth. Nico's sass only made her and everyone else besides Clarrise laugh hysterically.

"Yes. I do think it's you because you're the person who would be most likely to do it!"

"How so? Prove it." Nico raised his eyebrows expectantly.

"Well..."

"Exactly. Will you just give it up and deal, Clarrise?"

"Yes."

Wow. That was a surprising response. The laughing stopped and the room was dead silent.

"I'll 'give it up and deal,' if you guys let me join in on your stupid game of Truth or Dare."

I was about to ask why she wanted to play if she thought it was stupid, but then I decided it would be better to say, "Sure. Sit down."

Clarrise sat down and turned to Nico.

"Truth or dare?"

"Huh?"

"Do I really need to repeat it?"

"No, but... I've been dared twice already."

"I don't care."

"Fine, dare."

"Perfect... Time for revenge. You watch the show Gravity Falls?"

What was Gravity Falls?

"Yeah, I love that show." Nico said hesitantly. "Why?"
