"This is going to be so epic!" Cecil muttered under his breath, grinning like a madman.

Lou Ellen rolled her eyes
"Come on. This will be the perfect revenge"

Cecil nodded, unable to keep the grin off of his face. He picked up his bag and hauled it over his shoulder, the various equipment inside clanking against each other.

Lou shook her head, but started to creep towards the Nike cabin.

As they walked along, both of them worked in perfect sync. One knew the other so well, that they could mimic the others movements before the other had consciously thought about it.

Soon enough, they reached the Nike cabin.

Lou and Cecil both wrinkled their noses at the same time, as they regarded the cabin.

The walls and door was covered in wreaths, which had all been won be the inhabitants.

Cecil slowly walked up to the door, as Lou walked behind him, facing the other way. Cecil stared at the lock for a moment, while Lou slowly brought out her sword, in case the harpies heard them.

Cecil nodded with satisfaction, before he slowly waved his hand in front of the lock. A quiet clicking could be heard, as Cecil used his Hermes powers to unlock the door.

Suddenly, the door sprang open. Cecil reached down and picked up his bag, while he also aimed a soft kick to Lou's leg, to inform her that the cabin was open.

"Nice" Lou whispered as she passed him, and Cecil hoped that the dark was enough to cover his red face.

As soon as they stepped inside the cabin, they silently marched over to the bed in the furthest corner, and stood over it; watching their victim.

Mark rolled over in his sleep, unaware of what humiliation was lined up for him.

Both Lou and Cecil glared at him. As soon as Mark came into the camp less than 3 months ago, the pair immediately distrusted him.

He was too arrogant, and too prideful.

But, when he threatened one of Lou's little sisters, the two snapped.

Ally was completely innocent in all of this, but that didn't stop Mark taking out all of his anger at her because his side lost the recent game of Capture The Flag.

Poor Ally didn't know what to do. She was so young, and was still slightly scared of men in general.

So, naturally, when Lou and Cecil found out, they wanted to make him pay.

And that's exactly what they were going to do.

~~~~~

After half an hour of hard work, the duo stepped back to appreciate their work.

Mark was currently still asleep, blissfully unaware that his whole face was covered in badly applied makeup.

Which, after they learned what he did to Ally, the Aphrodite cabin were only to happy to lend them.

Then, as soon as he wakes up, a mirror would jump out of the 'wall' showing his new look.

With a bit of luck, Mark will be so horrified by what Lou did to his face, he will fall against the wall next to him...

...only to find out that Cecil and Lou moved his bed a few inches, as that he was really leaning against a very thin sheet of cardboard. Which, of course, should snap in half, causing Mark to fall into the wall of cream that Cecil had sprayed using whippy cream. Then, when he gets out of bed, he'll have to stand on a pressurised mat, which will cause a large bucked of goo to fall ontop of him, with (obviously) some chicken feathers thrown in there.

Then, he will be surrounded by rope, which will bind him so tight that it would take a good hour to get him out.

If he had help.

Which he probably wouldn't.

The pair of the stood back to admire there handy work.

When Lou had declared the whole project 'unsafe' and 'liable to blow up' they packed up their stuff, and exited the cabin, giving the other a highfive unconsciously.

By the time that they had deposited their pranking supplies in the
'Pranking shed'
Which was owned by the Stolls, Lou and Cecil, it was well past midnight.

The pair were silently walking back to their cabins, deliberately bumping each other with their shoulders, and sometimes stopping to look into the others eyes a for a little bit too long to pass as
"Just friends"

What Lou should have had noticed was the tell tale marks left by the fallen leaves, and normally Cecil would have been able to see the trees nearby missing quite a few branches, but they didn't.

So, as they were walking along, enjoying the others company, the ground suddenly disappeared.

Log screamed as she plummeted down a hole that had been made in the ground, while Cecil grabbed ahold of Lou and pulled her close.

Lou felt the impact on her back, which knocked all of the wind out of her. Her vision swam infront of her as her head started to throb.

She slowly sat up, only to see that Cecil's she's were closed.

With shaking hands, she checked his wrist.

He had a pulse. He was just knocked out.

Lou looked up, to see that they were in a deep hole, in the middle of the forest.

Suddenly, Lou Ellen swayed. Everything jumped to the left, and the world had a greenish tinge to it.

Lou Ellen collapsed.

~~~~~~~~~ le time skip ~~~~~~

"Come on!" Connor shouted at his brother, urging him to run faster.

Travis rolled his eyes, but continued to run towards the prank that they had set up for Mark.

When the brothers heard what he did so Lou Ellen's little sister, they had to take revenge. So, they dug a huge hole in the ground, near his cabin. Hopefully he would fall in it.

They sprinted along, and Travis made sure to knock on the Demeter cabin as they ran past, so that Katie and Miranda opened the door, and caught up with them.

What?

You can't make a huge hole on the ground without the help of some Demeter kids.

They ran along, Miranda and Connor rolling their eyes to each other when Travis held Katie's hand to
'Help her over a rock'
And then didn't let go afterwards.

Finally, they reached the place that they had dug the hole.

Travis nodded in excitement when he saw scuff marks on the leaves, and Miranda confirmed that someone had been here, when she pulled a tune but of fabric from a thistle where it had got stuck.

All four of them peered over the edge of the hole, expecting to see an angry Mark, except not exactly getting what they expected.

Cecil and Lou Ellen were both at the bottom of the pit. They had both obviously fallen, and Lou landed on top of Cecil, due to the awkward position of Cecil's legs.

They both must have been knocked unconscious from the fall, and they both had matching purpley bruises on their heads.

What that didn't explain, was why Cecil's arms were wrapped around Lou, and why their faces where close together.

They all started to laugh, when a huge shout of protest came from the clearing.

The four exchanged a look of worry, before running towards the sound of the voice.

It was Mark.

His face was covered in bright red lipstick and purple eye shadow. They had put cheep fake tan all over him, so that he had areas where he was really pale, and others where he was orange. He had shaving cream all over his forehead and nose, while his hair was covered in goo and feathers. Then, to top that, he had been wrapped up super tight in a rope, so that he couldn't get out.

Mark was shouting at his siblings to help him, while they all just shook their heads and laughed at him. People were starting to come out of their cabins to see what was going on, only to see Mark and start laughing at him.

This had all the makings of a Lou Ellen and Cecil prank.

With a sky grin towards the others Katie started walking back towards the hole. The others followed.

"HELP!"

"SOMEONE GET US OUT OF HERE!!"

"HELP!!"

"Okay, okay! No need to shout" Travis said, sticking his head over the edge of the hole.

Lou glared upwards, where Travis' tanned face and upturned nose was staring down at her.

"Did you do this?" She asked angrily, gesturing at the hole that they were still in.

Cecil just glared at his brother

Katie, Miranda and Connor stuck their heads over the hole as well, and started laughing at Lou and Cecil's furious expressions.

"Well" Travis said, in between laughed
"It was originally planned for Mark, but it seems that you guys already had that one covered"

The couple looked up with a grin
"Did it work?" Cecil asked

Katie nodded
"Classic" she said, while Miranda imitated Mark shouting at his siblings, when they refused to help him.

"Well" Travis said, after a good ten minuets of laughing.
"We'd better be off"

And with that all four of them started walking away from the pit.

"Hey! HEY!!" Lou and Cecil called out.

"What?" Miranda said

"You can't just leave us in here!"

"Yeah we can! We'll see you guys tonight "

"What?!! No but-"

"Byeeee!!"

"Bye"

"See you tonight!!"

"We'll bring you food"

"You guys come back here RIGHT. NOW!!" Lou shouted stomping her foot on the ground.

"Guys? GUYS?!!" She shouted.

"They've gone" Cecil said, sitting back on the ground.

"I am going to kill them. They are actually dead. When I get out of here..." Lou muttered to herself, sitting down beside Cecil.

They sat for a minuet, before Cecil looked at Lou.

"Lou." He said, slowly
"We're alone"

Lou rolled her eyes
"Yes Cecil, well noticed."

Cecil scoffed, then shrugged and pulled Lou into a kiss.

Lou pushed against him
"What was that?" She asked, angrily

"It was to make up the fact the I didn't give you a good night kiss last night" Cecil said, winking.

Lou laughed
"Too be fair, we had been knocked out."

"That's no excuse" Cecil said, pulling Lou closer to him and pressing his mouth again this again.

Lou didn't pull away this time, she only closed her eyes and leaned into his chest, pulling her hands through his hair.

"Maybe I could forgive them for leaving us down here" Lou muttered, when she broke away for breath.

The looked at each other and laughed for a moment, before Lou kissed Cecil again.

Needless to say, later that night, Travis Katie, Miranda, and Connor found out that Lou Ellen was already dating Cecil.
