"Has anyone seen my clothes? Any of them?" asked Lacy, still in her white, poofy robe.

"What in Hades has happened to the plumbing? The showers are, like, 30 degrees below zero!" complained a blue, shivering Michael in a towel.

Everyone in the Aphrodite Cabin had complaints, and whines like these, and they so happened to be all towards Piper. She was fed up with it. What was going on? Ever since last night, everything had been going wrong for their cabin. 7 minutes until the harpies would come in for inspection and the beauty kids of Camp Half-blood looked like hobos from the subway. Their home was in much worse condition. Although so far, oddly, nothing had happened to her yet. She still was fed up with fangirls sobbing, broken appliances, missing clothes, make up, shoes, and everything else.

"Okay, guys. I know things haven't gone perfect like usual, but that is not going to stop us from breaking the record of getting voted to be the best clean cabin in camp the most times in a row! Right? Every thing will be fine," she replied, maybe adding a touch of charmspeak.

Everyone calmed down a bit after her pep talk.

"Oka-" someone started, but was crudly interrupted by an eerie, shaking high-pitched scream from the vanity.

"AAAAAAAHHH!! MY HAIR!"

Piper turned around to see a furious, red-faced Drew with her hair stuck up straight as if it was dipped in honey. She wouldn't be surprised if steam started to come out of her ears like a cartoon character.

"It's not that bad," Kara, one of her loyal bratty followers, lied with a weak smile.

"NOT THAT BAD?!" she sneered at Kara, "Look at it! I might as well be Medusa!"

Well, I can't argue with that, she thought to herself.

Drew marched up to Piper and pointed her finger in Piper's face, "You! You did this! Ever since you decided to make us play capture the flag last night, things have been haywire!"

"Drew, your hair is not crazy, simply because we played capture the flag. Now please, save us some humiliation and go get your hair under control," she replied calmly yet secretly smiling inside.

"Fine! I will take another freezing shower!" Drew huffed. She marched into the bathroom towards one of the showers.

Michael eyes widened, "Drew, I wouldn't..."

"WHOA! Ever heard of privacy?!" Piper heard Josiah, her half-brother, shout.

"...go in there." Michael finished with a sigh.

"Ew! Get out, you imbecile!" Drew snarled.

"Why should I get out?! I was here first!" Josiah whined.

With that Josiah was pushed out of the shower with a nothing on but a towel and conditioner plopped all over his head.

Michael face-palmed, "I tried to stop her."

Piper just rolled her eyes. You can count on Drew to only care about herself. She turned to one of the few hundred mirrors in the cabin to put her choppy brow hair up into the usual pony tail, when what she saw terrified her.

"Oh dear gods, this is not happen happening!" she groaned. There was a big, fat zit right on the middle of her nose, and her eyebrows somehow had decided they needed tweezing. Her puffy red eyes looked like her was about to go out as a zombie for a Halloween party.

Drew was right: something was up. Even during the war with Gaea their cabin hadn't been this crazy. But she was still wrong as usual, it wasn't because they played capture the flag. But, what was it? Something was wrong, terribly wrong. She could feel it. "I do not like where this is going," She muttered.

It was oddly still dark when they all went to the mess hall for breakfast.

As the cabins filed in, Piper had noticed that the Aphrodite cabin wasn't the only one having a bad day. The Apollo cabin had lost their, "cool sun glow." They were as pale as Nico di Angelo and had the same dark circles under their eyes with some limping from rogue arrow wounds. Hephaestus Cabin did not look happy with a few burn marks and kept muttering about some mechanical accidents. The few hunters, who had stayed behind when the others came to visit, looked like they had been in a train accident. Finally, when the Hypnos Cabin grogily lugged in, all looked like they hadn't slept in the last 4 days.

Piper heard Malcom (the now present Athena Leader, since Annabeth was about leave for New Rome) shouted, "What in Zeus?! Look at the sky!"

Then that's when all Hades broke loose. The full moon which was still up and shining red like a blood ruby. The rest of the world was in darkness except for the fire light.

Her attention changed when she saw Jason running up to her breathing heavily. She adjusted the bandaid on top of her nose and tried to look awake and not dead. What else could possible have happened?

"Piper..." he said with his eyes full of shock, "It's Leo."

Piper stopped breathing. She remembered, when Leo had returned with Calypso. Everyone had been shocked. Percy and Annabeth had suspiciously jumped their moving plans ahead of time. Although she had been happy for him - they were so cute together- lately Calypso had been acting funny. She hadn't seen her for a couple weeks actually. But from the way Jason looked, she could tell it wasn't Leo having a relationship crisis. Something had happened. Possibly something worse.
