The girls gave their boyfriends and friends one last hug and kiss before walking out of the house. More than once each of them thought about turning around and deciding to stay. Then again they deserved this break. The seven women hurried into the large car with Thalia in the drivers seat. They all close their doors and sit staring back at the house they rented for the next two weeks.

"Last chance..." Thalia taunts starting the car. Being a hunter thus, the only single one in the car she had long ago organized the trip for the girls and wasn't planning on letting them out of it.

The other girls look around at each other and Hazel opens her mouth only to be cut off by Thalia speeding out of the driveway.

The girls took one last look at their nice house as if they would never see it again. Once turning back around all proceed to say a silent prayer to whomever is the god of leaving-boys-home-alone-for-the-night.

Travis looks out the window staring as the car speeds down the long driveway and turns on to the street. He waits for a minute but the car never comes back.

"Their gone!" He shouts happily at the small crowd of boys behind him. They all cheer at his announcement.

"So now what?" Asks Nico from his spot in the corner.

"Pizza?" Connor suggests. They are murmurs of agreement.

"What kind?" Frank asked.

"Veggie." "Pepperoni." "Meat lovers." "Cheese." More suggestions are given but in the end they decide on one of each. They talk as they wait and once the pizza arrives they devour it hungrily. Though once they get bored the problems start.

Nico is currently sleeping in the shadows which is not surprising. He got bored and eventually bored himself to sleep. Jason is hiding in a room away from the others, so he may talk to his brick in peace. Frank is turning into different animals. Octavian who didn't want to come in the first place is currently hiding from Percy, after slashing his pillow pet. Percy enjoying the fact Octavian is hiding from him is trying to find a way to turn the left over pizza blue.

That leaves Connor, Travis and Leo. The three grin to each other. The others busy doing whatever didn't notice the three bored trouble makers slip away. They are outside on the porch making plans for the rest of the evening. The girls won't be home until late so they need to work fast.

They quickly decide that Octavian is their first target. They split up to find him. Once looking for about five minutes they find him in the attic. He is to busy hiding behind a box to notice as Leo climbs up. Leo smiles at Connor and Travis as he pulls on the mask to the costume the sons of Hermes "found". The costume is a bear costume. Leo walks a bit closer to Octavian before lighting his head on fire. He walks closer and Octavian finally notices him.

Octavian looks up with a mixture of confusion, and fright on his face.

"We don't like what you have done to our friends..." Connor and Travis say in unison from the corner. "They didn't have to die..." At this Leo motions to a pillow pet with a knife in its stomach next to the Augur. Leo takes a step closer to Octavian who springs up eyes wide with fear and sprints out of the room with a scream worthy of an Aphrodite camper.

The trio of trouble makers laugh as Leo extinguishes himself and takes off the costume. They discard the costume and throw it in a corner and head off too their next victim. Unaware the costume was not fireproof and is still burning slightly.

The trio heads back to their HQ (the porch) to gather materials for their next victim. The materials... A sack of bricks. They hurry inside and are miraculously unnoticed by any of the other soon to be victims. Most of whom are listening to Octavian telling an impossible story about teddy bear trying to kill him less than five minutes ago.

Jason cuddles his brick gently while sitting in the arm chair of the guest bedroom. He is whispering softly kind and loving words. Hearing a scream and he quickly leaves the room to defend his friends and brick. Said brick lies on the chair watching its boyfriend bravely defend it. The door opens again the brick is sad to only to find three boys in the doorway.

The trio come closer and reach in their bag. They take out more bricks and set them closely to the brick already there. They hurry out room and into the one next door. They listen to the wall as Jason walks back down the hall muttering about stupid stuffed animal killers.

They hear the guest bedroom door open.

"Bricky? I'm back. It was Octavian. He was telling a stupid..." Jason trails off and a sharp intake of breath is heard. "Bricky? Wh-Why are their so many other bricks? Oh my gods your cheating on me aren't you!" The rest of Jason's words are drowned out by sobs.

The trouble makers look at each other. That was not what they had been expecting. They shrug it off. There are too many people left to mess with to worry about Jason screwed up love life.

Their next target... Frank. The demigod in question was one of the harder ones to mess with. So many possibilities. After arguing they came up with the perfect plan. Just blame him.

So they walked back toward the guest bedroom where Jason was. He walks out teary eyed.

"Woah." "What happened" "to you?" The Stolls ask.

"Bricky..." Was all the son of Jupiter says.

"Bricky?" Leo asks faking confusion. "I have no idea what that is supposed to mean but if you are talking about bricks I saw Frank with some earlier." Jason looks at them eyes wide before taking off down the hall.

The trio smiles pleased with their work and head to the next victim Percy. Percy was currently still trying to turn food blue in the kitchen. So the group split up. Leo goes into the kitchen while the Stolls head to the boys bathroom. The Stolls quickly find Percy's shampoo and filled it with hair bleach. Then the conditioner with blue hair dye. If he likes to eat blue stuff, why not make his hair blue?

Meanwhile Leo walks in the kitchen. Percy is sitting on a chair blue food coloring in hand as he experiments. Leo opens his mouth to comment but is cut off.

"Shhh. It is in the name of food science," Percy says watching what he was doing carefully. Leo rolls his eyes and looks in fridge he quickly finds the salsa. He takes out some chips and opens the salsa lid "spilling" some on the floor. He takes a step and "fell". Which caused all of the salsa to cover Percy.

Percy gave a startled shriek and falls on to the floor. He gets himself up and glares at Leo who runs off. Percy sighs and looks at the mess, he can clean it after. He then heads to take a shower.

The trio had to wait for their reaction and decided to mess with the most dangerous person on their list. Nico.

The son of Hades is still sleeping in the shadows. The was the first hard part about the trio's plan, finding him. They look around before finally finding him ten minutes later in the living room. He sits against the wall headphones in sleeping. After a bit of arguing Travis is chosen to be the one to do the evil deed.

Travis holds Leo's paint bomb in his hand as he walks closer to the son of Hades. He slowly takes one step after the other until he is two feet form Nico. He tiptoes and places the device next to Nico. He takes a step back. To see Nico move. He flinches before walking as quickly and quietly as he can out the room. The three then begin make their way back outside to celebrate their victory. On their way they see Octavian curled in a ball in a closet with the door slightly ajar. They also see Jason chasing Frank with an armful of bricks yelling about how he had never messed with Frazel.

The trio some how contain their laughter long enough to make it outside. They laugh and wait for their remaining two victims reactions. A minute later they get the first.

"AHHHHHHHH! WHAT THE HADES! MY HAIR!" Percy yells from the bathroom. Less than a minute later they hear something else.

BOOM!

Afterwards there is a short silence followed by...

"AHHHHHH!"

The trio laugh and drink coke in celebration. Inside the house things are different...

Jason has stopped yelling at Frank long enough to head to the living room to see a the son of Hades. Octavian and Percy rush in a minute later. The group looks at Nico.

Who is covered head to toe in pink paint. Percy and Jason let a laugh escape but Jason quickly stops under Nico's glare. Nico then can't help but crack a smile at Percy.

"Kelp Head. Nice hair," He says. Percy stops laughing and quickly scowls.

"So this gets weirder and weirder," Frank comments. "Octavian sees a burning killer bear. Jason thinks I messed with his brick. Percy has finally turned blue and Nico... Is pink." This leads to a silence.

"Wait a minute," Nico says. "Who hasn't been affected by something strange and is conveniently missing right now?"e

"Stolls and Leo," Frank mutters. The other boys nod in agreement. Without another word they grab their weapons and begin looking for the missing boys. Octavian is the one who hears them outside. He gathers the other boys who all join them.

Weapons ready they open the door and face the three demigods. The three look at them and fear in their eyes and can't help but laugh at Nico and Percy's appearance. That was the wrong thing to do.

The other boys charge and Leo and the Stolls sprint. They are chased over to the big tree out front. The others came closer and closer. Now!

Leo presses a button on a remote and ropes spring out of nowhere and grab the other boys by their feet hanging them upside down. But there is one problem. Leo and the Stolls are standing too close.

Now the eight boys hang upside down by their feet about ten feet in the air weapons abandoned on the ground. The boys hang in a shocked silence before a

BANG!

They turn their heads to the house to see the roof on fire.

"Uhhh..." "Leo?" "Was that costume fire proof?" The Stolls ask.

"Styx."

"Hey Perce wanna put that out?" Nico asks staring at the house. They wait but nothing.

"Percy?" Frank asks. They all look to Percy to find him unconscious after hitting his head on Jason's brick. The next resort is Jason but Sparky is to busy making sure his brick was okay after hitting Kelp Head.

Next in line was Leo but the rope is fire proof. Frank's blood is rushing to his head and making him too nauseous to help. So they are stuck.

++++

The girls get out of the car about fifteen minutes later to see something they didn't want to see. Their house burning. The eight boys hanging upside down in a tree.

Jason cuddling a brick. Percy knocked out with blue hair. Octavian complaining while Leo throws small fireballs at him. The Stolls watch amused. Nico covered in pink paint and looking ready to kill someone and Frank with a pile of vomit beneath him.

Annabeth hurries over to Percy and checks to see if he is okay.

"He's fine now get us down!" Leo yells.

"This is your fault!" Nico snaps. Leo opens his mouth to retaliate but is cut off.

"How do we get you down?" Hazel asks looking worriedly at Frank.

"There is a remote," Leo answers pointing. Calypso goes over and grabs the remote and presses a button causing all the boys to fall. Jason catches himself with wind. Frank turns into a falcon then lands. Percy lands on top of Annabeth. The other boys are sprawled out on the ground.

The girls glare at them all though they soften slightly when Percy groans.

"What happened?" He asks sitting up. He looks around then sees the house. "Oh my gods...What the Hades happened to the house?"

"Can't you put it out?" Annabeth asks.

"There isn't any water nearby to put it out with. Either way I think it is too late. Can't Leo do it?"

"Too late," Leo says.

"So what happened to the house and who do I have to kill for destroying my stuff?" Thalia asks.

"Leo and the Stolls. Decided to prank us and we chased them out here," Frank says.The girls nod in understanding.

"They tried to kill me by giant burning teddy bear," Octavian mutters.

"They messed with Bricky," Jason says giving Bricky a hug.

"They blamed me," Frank says.

"My hair," Percy says.

"Pink," Nico says reaching down to pick up his sword. The other victims follow suit and start after the three troublemakers.

"Girls," Thalia says. "New rule: Never leave the boys home alone."
