Chloe: [Grumbling] This better be effing worth it. I cancled my lunch plans for this.
Piper: Quit complaining, you were just gonna get pizza anyway.
Chloe: We were gonna get the world's best pizza from this Italian guy Nico knows.
Piper: This only takes half an hour.
Chloe: Half an hour of my life I'll never get back.
Annabeth: Shut up, both of you. Chloe, do the intro.
Chloe: [Sighs] [Reluctantly] Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of HephaestusTV. I'm Chloe and today we'll be pulling a prank on Percy and Jason. Happy?
Annabeth: Keep going.
Chloe: [Reads off a notecard] Over the past few days Jason and Percy made a bet on who could be the first to hit the lottery and they have been buying lottery tickets by the pound so I stole these fake lottery tickets (the kind with the lucky numbers) from a mortal joke store and we're gonna get the boys in the same room and give one to each of them.
Piper: Good girl. [Pats Chloe's head] [Gives Chloe $20]
Chloe: [Takes money] Don't touch me.
Piper: Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
Chloe: Blame Valdez.
Annabeth: Piper, you know the drill. Chloe, you can go now.
Chloe: [Sarcasm] Sure, just use me for a stupid intro.
Piper: Jeez, wonder what Leo did to piss her off.
Annabeth: Piper's gonna charmspeak the boys and get them both to the Athena cabin. They both bought their own bunch of lottery tickets so I'm gonna slip the fake ones among the real ones and I figured out a way for both of them to "win" at the same time.
Piper: Give me Jason's card.
Annabeth: [Gives Piper Jason's card] Awesome! Camera guy, follow us! And you can hide in the bushes and film from the window.
Annabeth and Piper: Hey guys!
Percy: Shush! I think this is it!
Annabeth: [Slips lottery cards in]
Jason and Percy: [Scratches fake cards]
Jason: Pluto's Helm, I won!
Percy: JACKPOT!
Jason: I got it first!
Percy: Nuh uh! I won the bet.
Jason: Gimme that! It's gotta be fake! [Grabs Percy's card]
Annabeth and Piper: [Tries not to laugh]
Percy: No! You're just jealous 'cause mine's worth more!
Jason: I got WAY more.
Percy: Prove it.
Piper: [Whispers to Annabeth]
Annabeth: Boys, calm down.
Percy: Hey Annabeth, guess what? I hit the lottery!
Annabeth: I know Seaweed Brain.
Percy: So do you like diamond necklaces or bracelets?
Annabeth: [Shocked] What?!?
Percy: I got the money now. I can buy you whatever you want.
Jason: I bet I can get better stuff for Piper.
Percy: It's on Sparky!
Jason: [Browses magazine catalogs]
Percy: [Goes on Tiffany website] Jewelry...necklaces...maybe earrings?
Piper: [Charmspeaks] Guys, stop. Annabeth and I have something to tell you.
Jason: This car looks nice. [Shows Piper magazine] Red's a good color for you.
Piper: About that. The lottery tickets were fake. You've BOTH been pranked.
Annabeth: More like prank gone wrong at this point. Now I feel really bad.
Percy: Annabeth...
Annabeth: I'm so sorry Percy.
Piper: We were just tired of you guys buying a ton of lottery tickets so we didn't think a trick would hurt. I got Chloe to steal some of those prank tickets from a mortal joke store and we gave them to you.
Percy: So I don't have any money? I really wanted to buy you something special for our aniversery Annabeth.
Annabeth: [Hugs Percy] Again, I'm so sorry.
Jason: Piper, I understand it was just a prank but if it was your idea you shouldn't have dragged anyone else in this.
Piper: What do you mean?
Jason: I might've been distracted this week, but even I know what happened between Chloe and Leo the other day.
Percy: Um, on that happy note, let's get lunch!
Jason: Hey, is that the camera guy behind the bush? Are we on TV?!?
Piper and Annabeth: [Whistles]
