In Between Two Worlds (HP/PJO Crossover)

Chapter 8: I Meet My Pranking Bros.

A/N: Hey Guys! This chapter is gonna be kinda short and is a filler chapter. I needed a way to create a relationship between Karlee and two pranksters.

    After the whole bathroom incident, I decided to explore the camp a little. I found this little spot that was hidden by the trees. It was a cliff that overlooked Long Island Sound. It was beautiful! I figured this would be a good place to sit and think. I slid down against a tree and watched the sunset. I sat down and started to process what happened in the last two days. I lost my mom. I found my long lost godmother. She was taken away from me. Greek gods are real. my dad is a god. Okay. I thought.

    That was when I lost it. I couldn't hold in my tears. I leaned against the tree and quietly sobbed. I sobbed until I had no more tears left in me. I had no clue who my dad was and I had no clue if my mom would ever come back.

    I only stopped crying when I heard two boys laughing near me. I quickly whipped my eyes and made it look like I was just watching the sunset. When they saw me they stopped. "Aren't you that new camper? Karlee something?" Said a boy.

    "Yeah. I am." I replied, not looking away from the sunset.

    "Hi. I'm Travis Stoll. And this is my little bro-" Travis started to say but he was cut off by his brother.

    "I can introduce myself. I'm Connor."

    "Hi," I said, finally looking at them. Then I realized that these were the two boys I winked at earlier. "Wanna sit down? I'm just trying to escape my reality."

    They laughed and sat down on either side of me. "Wanna help us? We're planning on pranking the Ares cabin."

    I sat straight up at the mention of pranking. "Of course! I love pranking!" I exclaimed. "I have pulled so many pranks! I never get caught because I'm so sweet and innocent." I batted my eyelashes and did the most innocent smile I could manage.

    We planned the perfect prank during dinnertime when everyone was eating. We would make this special gunk that Connor and Travis came up with. It contains the most random and disgusting ingredients that they could find. We decided that we would hand buckets over all of their beds and have the light switch be what triggered them. We rigged it so that once they turn the lights out, they all will be covered in the gunk. We even hung one over the light switch so that everyone would get hit. We also "borrowed" some camouflage netting from the Hephaestus cabin so the buckets wouldn't be seen.

    After we had finished setting up the prank, we raced back to my hideout. Travis and Connor planned on staying there all night because they were known, pranksters. I, on the other hand, was just the newbie that no one knew. I snuck into the dining pavilion and got some food for the boys. I raced back to the hideout(after sacrificing food to the gods,) trying not to spill anything.

    "Oh my gods!" exclaimed Travis when I came back with tons of food in my arms, "You are amazing!"

    "See you tomorrow. Hope you don't get caught!" I winked at them to make them squirm a little and then made my way back to the Hermes cabin.

    I walked into the cabin and laid down on the floor next to Percy.

    "Hey. Where have you been all afternoon?" Asked Percy.

    "Helping the Stoll brothers with a little something," I smiled deviously.

    "You pulled a prank with them didn't you?" Questioned Percy.

    "OK. I did. But can you blame me! They asked me if I wanted to help! How could I resist! I haven pranked in like a week! Oh, and you hate the cabin we pranked so really it's good for you two! It was Ares cabin by the way." I said in a rush.

    Percy just started laughing though, "I'm not mad. I'm really happy that you pranked Ares cabin! So what did you do?"

    "Well we..." that's how the remainder of the night went, we talked about the prank practically all night. We talked about how the Ares campers might react. We both agreed that it would be terrible for Connor and Travis if they were found.

    It was awesome to talk with Percy. We hadn't talked like this since we were at the beach. I know that it was like yesterday but it felt like a lifetime ago with all the stuff that happened.

    After another few minutes of talking I instantly fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
