"Hey, Travis!" I called.

"Wassup?" "He called back.

"Get Connor to get his butt over here. I have an awesome idea for a prank-fest!" I replied. His face lit up.

"Connor!" He screeched. "Get your butt out here!" A sleepy-eyed Connor dragged himself out of the Hermes cabin, rubbing his eyes.

"What?" he grumbled. "I only just got up!"

"Dude, it's like 1:30 or something. Get over it. I've got an idea for a prank-fest!" Connor was immediately alert.

"What?" he demanded.

"Come to my cabin and I shall explain. And bring everyone who is willing to come that you meet on your way", I instructed. "And they don't have to be pranksters", I added with a grin.

"Why?" The boys demanded.

"You'll see..."

Half an hour later we had a group in my cabin. "Peoples", I said. "We are about to have a game."

"A game?" Travis demanded. "You said it was a prank-fest!"

"It is", I reassured them. "Because we will be playing... Truth Dare or Name!" This received a round of applause.

"What's that?" Hazel asked.

I sighed. "Basically, it is you have to ask a person of your choice Whether they pick truth dare or name. Truth is they have to tell you any one thing you ask them. It could be an embarrassing secret, or a memory of something stupid they did, etc. Dare is you dare someone to do something of your choice. Name is you're given a name and you must rate that person out of ten and say why you gave them that rating. Ten is best, zero is worst. The meanings can change. Say, once we had it so that 10 was you wanted to kiss them, 0, drag the into Tartarus so they could be brutally murdered. It's a great game. You are allowed to change from one thing to another once per turn, say, Truth to Dare". I paused. "Any questions?"

Annabeth raised her hand as if she were in class. "Can I start?" She asked innocently.

"Fine," I relented.

"Hmmm..." she looked round the room to see who she wanted to pick.

We had a great turnout. There were the Stolls, of course, and the rest of the Seven, along with Katie Gardener, Nico Di Angelo, Thalia Grace (she had been visiting with the Hunters and they were staying for Christmas), Rachel, Grover and his girlfriend Juniper.

Annabeth's eyes continued to turn until they reached me. "Seaweed Brain", she said sweetly. "Truth, Dare, or Name?"
