Chapter 34 includes brick romance (Prank Wars Part Two)

34

Nico's POV

I woke up to find something very strange about the Hades cabin.

"Gahh!"

Instead of the normal black and grey interior (personally designed by me) everywhere was bright neon and pink, the colours changing every few seconds to create a ghastly effect.

It was, in a word, horrifying. Worse than the time the Aphrodite cabin painted my cabin pink. Worse than the time I had to dress as Tinkerbell. (Long story, don't ask). Everything was GLOWING!!

I looked down.

"Oh gods."

My clothes were glowing too. Bright neon pink and yellow.

My vision turned bright red. The ground shook and I could hear the dead's bones rattling underneath, responding to me.

"EARTHQUAKE!" Someone screamed outside. As I flung open the neon yellow door, the camp was in absolute panic.

"OHGODSANNABETH!" shouted a familiar voice. I turned sharply to my right and saw Percy (oddly in a mermaid tail) dive in front of Annabeth just as a skeleton was about to attack her.

"Stop!" My voice rang out across the cabins. "Dead, return to the earth!"

The skeletons retreated back into the ground, and a humongous sigh was heard from all the campers.

Some Hecate kids nearby snickered at me. I turned and and gave them my best death stare.

"Nico?" A kind but firm voice was heard from behind. I turned around and saw Chiron standing behind me. In what was probably his sleeping clothes.

Are those curlers in his tail?

"What happened?" Quickly, I explained when I woke up to bright neon colours. Only Hecate kids could've done that.

"Yes, well, it is prank week." muttered Chiron. He smiled half-heartedly before trotting off to the Big House.

I knew I had to get revenge. But how?

"Looking for somebody?" An oddly familiar voice teased from behind me. I turned to see the Stoll twins grinning at me.

"You guys any good at pranks?"

LATER THAT DAY...

Leo's POV

Pulling the red and white checkered tablecloth straight, I couldn't help but grin.

Ages ago, in New Rome, Jason was hit with a brick. And ever since, fangirls and fanboys alike all over the world have been shipping Jason and this 'Brick'. Tonight was the night I would finally get them to fall in love.

I glanced my watch. 7:06. I had left a note in Piper's handwriting on his bed, saying to meet here at 7:10pm. As if on cue, footsteps echoed, and Jason entered Bunker 9.

Quickly hiding behind some shelves, I heard Jason call, "Hello?" and then a moment later, "Ohh..."

Time for my plan to be set in action.

I sneakily ran to the camera set up to record and broadcast the whole thing live to whoever was in the Big House rec room. I had set up a screen there earlier, and gotten Chiron to have a "surprise" camp meeting.

Now all we had to do was watch Jason...

Piper's POV

I stared at the giant screen in the big house, waiting for it to come alive. Chiron had called us here, but not told us why.

"Chiiirrroooon." complained Drew Tanaka, my half-sister.

"In a minute, child." Chiron patiently explained, staring intently at the screen as if his willpower would make it turn on.

As luck would have it, it did.

"Hey babe," Jason's voice rang out. I couldn't help but gaze at the screen in wonder. Jason was seated at a romantic-looking table. With a brick. Was my boyfriend dating a brick behind my back? No, that's ridiculous.

Jason sat down at the table, smirking at the brick.

"You're looking beautiful tonight." he whispered. Someone in the audience nearly gagged.

Jason then reached out a hand and stroked the brick tenderly, caressing it. My brown eyes widened as he wrapped spaghetti around his fork with one hand, his piercing blue eyes gazing tenderly at it.

Was I getting jealous? Yes, probably.

Romantic music was playing in the background, like some cheesy love scene in a movie. My stomach twisted as Jason carefully ate his spaghetti, pretending to feed some to the Brick.

"Aww, babe, you got a little sauce there. Here, let me wipe it off." At this point, I ran outside, hoping to get some fresh air.

"Aww, is Piper jealous that stupid Brick is getting more action then her?" came a nasty voice from behind me.

"Go away, Drew." I muttered, not bothering to turn around.

"Fine. But if I were you, I wouldn't be wasting my time on some guy who cheats on me with inmaniate objects."

"Inanimate."

"Whatever."

A huge gasp was heard from inside. I ran back in to find everyone gazing at the screen in shock. The brick was alive!

"I'll make you pay for what you did!" It shouted in a squeaky, high-pitched voice.

What did I miss?

It even moved up and down slightly, as if attached to a string. Jason's face was flushed and red, and I realised he was embarrassed.

"I-I'm sorry! I don't know who I love more! You or Piper!" I shut my eyes tightly.

What is my life?

Before anyone could say anything else, Brick jumped off the table.

"I'll be back for revenge!!!!" It shouted, before disappearing completely.
