The first thing I heard when I woke up was the fire alarm. It was blaring in our room.

"Hephaestus what did we do to anger you now?" I whispered to myself. I got up and there was no fire anywhere,

"who turned off the alarm?" I yelled. When nobody replied, I went back to bed. Again, I was woken up by the alarm, I grabbed the clock beside my bed, I had found peace for less than two hours. This time, I ignored the alarm, it was hard to sleep again, but it was already eight, so Zoe and Lily would be up any time now. I grabbed the book I could reach from the library under my bed and started reading it. After what seemed like four hours, it was just two minutes, but I have ADHD, so yeah, the alarm stopped screeching. I was reading for another half an hour, when Zoe woke up,

"Good morning," She said, "I had a crazy dream with fire alarms"

"Probs because someone was pranking us by turning it off" I replied, she looked like she was ready to murder, but then she noticed me reading,

"nerd," She said,

"I am not a nerd," I told her, "I just like reading"

"so a minor nerd?" She asked, smirking. I rolled my eyes at her and went back to reading.

"Good morning," Another voice said after a good fifteen minutes,

"Morning Lily," I told her, "did you have crazy fire-related dreams too?" I asked her,

"I'm used to it," She said, "Albus and James always prank everybody"

"Wait, so they did this?" I asked her, she nodded, "Revenge time" 

At this, Zoe sat up, "revenge on who?"

"her brothers, do you mind helping Lily?" I asked the youngest child of the Potter family,

"not at all, but I'm not very good at pranking," She said,

"I have a special number on my H-phone" I said, an H-phone was basically a phone designed for halfbloods, but it had less advantages. You could only store three contacts on it, and messaging someone took hours. The phone rang thrice before somebody picked it up,

"aunty Katie?" I asked the receiver, Zoe smiled widely, Lily looked a little confused. Zoe whispered something in her ear and she started grinning widely, I put the phone on speaker mode and kept it on the double bed where Zoe and Lily had slept.

"Hello?" She said, "Is this Silena?"

"Yes, we need uncle Travis's help" Zoe said, 

"Why? I hope it's not for fun" She asked, she was really kind, so I knew she would ask this, I replied,

"Oh, it's not just for fun, you know we're in paris, right?" 

"yes, Percy and Annabeth told me,"

"Okay, so we met another family, a minotaur attacked and destroyed half the rooms, we made friends, and the boys pranked us, we need revenge" I explained quickly, 

"Okay" She said, "Travis, Zoe and Silena need help for pranks" She called, "hello?" another voice called after ten minutes,

"Uncle Travis!" Zoe called, "we need help for a prank"

After another hour of explanation, we were ready to prank the boys. I grabbed a bucket of paint that I found in the storage attic and a huge rope. Zoe got an extra towel from the bathroom and glitter. Lily got the soap that they were supposed to be using.

"Okay, so everybody know the plan?" I asked them, they nodded, "do we need mom's permission for this?" I questioned myself, I decided on no and went back to the plan,

"so, the first stage is simple, I'm tying the bucket to the top of the door, so when they open the door, they get blue paint all over them and I've mixed a ton of food colouring in this, so it won't be easy to wash, then Lily goes in with the soap, which has more paint in it and places them back where she got them from, understood?" I asked her, she nodded, "then, you" I pointed at Zoe, "you're going to put paint in the towels, but since the towels that they have are already blue, they won't notice anything, when they come back out, they'll be smurfs" I said, drawing the last bit on the piece of paper in front of me.

"who'll be smurfs?" Dad asked behind me, I shoved the papers behind the countertops and said,

"nothing"

"Don't lie to me Silena, are you pranking mom?" He asked, I sighed but said,

"We're pranking her brothers, they set off the fire alarm in our rooms and woke everybody up"

"I'm in on the prank," He said,

"No! You are not helping us, we just need you to give us permission and make sure that nobody opens their bedroom door before they do" I said, 

"Okay" He said, and walked away.

"Ladies, the plan is in action" I told them, they grinned and grabbed whatever they needed before hurrying to do their jobs.

-time-skip to when they were having breakfast--

"Why are the boys not here yet?" Mrs. Potter asked,

"agreed, I want to see if our prank worked" I told them, dad had warned them about the prank, so they were steering clear of their room,

"maybe this will work," Mrs. Potter said, "Boys! hurry up, breakfast is ready" She yelled.

"Coming!" Someone called, everybody held their breaths, but the oldest of them exited first. As expected, the bucket of paint dropped on him,

"Ah! who kept paint here?" He said, before his brother even knew what happened, he was also drenched in paint. Luke was still asleep, but I don't think he was part of the fire alarm prank. 

"I'm going to take a shower" James said, as soon as the both of them left, everybody burst out laughing,

"did you ask Travis for help?" Mom asked me, while laughing her heart out. I nodded and she laughed even louder. Everybody started laughing even more loudly when a scream was heard from the boys' room. After another hour, James, Albus and Luke came out. Luke was still very clean, but the others were completely drenched in blue paint

"This is war" James told us, Lily gulped, but Zoe laughed,

"we have uncle Travis's help" She said, at this mom, dad, and me burst out laughing.
