Sunday, April 1st 2018, Yuvia POV

My eyes were drooping and I was half asleep when I sat at breakfast with the others. This was possibly the worst possible day to be semi-unconscious. April fools day. Yippee. Easily Hermes Cabin's favorite day of the year.

I was met to the face of a grinning Liv Stoll. The 16 year old was smiling devilishly, and chatting with Rebel Solace, daughter of Apollo. 

I sat, and soon the others came too. All seemed a bit nervous to be sitting with Liv on this particular day of the year, and Dani Treinwood, also a daughter of Apollo, altogether just left to sit with some of her other half-siblings the second she saw Liv and her crazy-person smile. I was tempted to join her. Not because she was sitting with Austin or anything, but because Olivia and Wanda, my half-sisters, were over there. Yeah.  

Jade wasn't here today because she was busy with some of her 'Hunter of Artemis' schist. I envied her for a few seconds, then let out a giggle. Jade was going to be dealing with Thalia Grace today. Thalia wasn't much of a prankster, but she definitely had something planned for her hunters this year.

Izzy Singe sent me a questioning look, that said something like 'Why the Hades are you giggling? Liv Stoll. On April Fools Day. Sitting in front of us.' I shrugged her off. I felt myself smile a bit, though, I found I funny how even Izzy, Liv's half sister, found Liv scary on April Fools Day.

When Connor and Travis  joined us, I was more tempted to jump up and run over to were Dani was sitting and make her hide me before I was pranked by the trickster siblings. Katie seemed weary as she sat next to her husband, Travis, and warning him not to do anything stupid with just a glance. Katie was bouncing their toddler, Alexander Lafayette Stoll, in her lap.

(The name was Liv's fault. When both of the newly parents were half-asleep in the hospital, two years ago, Liv changed the poor child's name from 'James Connor Stoll', to that monstrosity. I mean, I love history, and the musical where Liv got the name, but come on! Anyway, by the time Katie figured out what had happened, they had already been out of the hospital for a few days. Katie was furious that Travis had let it happen, but decided that her child would remain with the name he came out of the hospital with, no matter how bad.)

Finally, Apollo showed up a few minutes later, and he sat next to his girlfriend, Liv, slightly cautiously, even gods couldn't be too careful with Hermes campers on April Fools Day. Liv then turned to him with a scarily serious face and said...

"I don't think it's working out between us. I'm sorry, but I think we need some space..."

Almost everyone's eyes boggled. Apollo was frozen for a few seconds, before giving Liv a pained smile, and whispering "okay." and joining his daughter at the other table. He looked so defeated, I almost felt bad.

Dani's head flew backwards and she mouthed to Liv 'What the Hades did you do to my Dad, Stoll?' she looked somewhere between confused and furious

'Shush' Liv mouthed back.

Rebel was staring silently at Liv. As was Izzy.

Travis gave his sister a worried glace "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." She responded.

Connor seemed almost .. happy. Liv just rolled her eyes.

Liv asked the silent Rebel, "Ace, you okay?" Rebel sorta nodded.

Liv shrugged and continued to eat her breakfast.

So sweet of her to ignore MY dumbfounded expression.

)()()()()()(

Apparently some idiotic Aphrodite girl thought since Apollo and Liv had broken up, it would be 'okay' to flirt with him. Stupid, stupid, Kylie.

Let's just say Kylie was turned into a coxcomb for an hour or so before Lacy convinced Apollo to change her back (it took forever). Apollo claimed that it wasn't him, but it didn't take a lot of logic to connect the dots.

There were loads of pranks going on everywhere. Too many to even be possible for Hermes cabin. I knew at least a few cabins were going to pull pranks besides Hermes, but it was a ridiculous amount of pranks.

Every single cabin got a good ol' practical joke.

While Jason was asleep, every single possible exit in the Zeus Cabin was filled in with bricks, and it took him about 30 minutes to finally escape his cabin.

All the Demeter kid's flowers were replaced with dead ones, the Gardener sisters almost murdered the Stolls for that.

All of Ares Cabin's weapons were transformed into rubber ones.

ALL. OF. MY. CABIN'S. BOOKS. DISAPPEARED. IF THE PAPER OR PARCHMENT HAD WRITING, IT WAS GONE. GONE I SAY.

All of Apollo Cabin's lights were broken, and their windows were painted black. No one could see a thing.

All of the Hephaestus kid's tools were replaced with kid's toys, (half of which were half-melted due to the heat in the forge)

 Aphrodite children exploded when they saw that all their designer clothing was replaced with clothes from a thrift shop. Not to mention the fact that all their make-up was gone.

All of Hermes Cabin's blackmail was GONE. Even. the. B a c k u p.

The Dionysus campers were going crazy because there was a 24 pack of grape juice that they couldn't open for the life of them.

Hades Cabin... poor little Nico was met to Dodie yellow cabin walls. Will solace, his boyfriend, had said that it was a good change. Neeks may or may not have proceeded to slap his boyfriend on the arm.

( that is Dodie yellow) ( XD the sentence kinda goes with the picture, AH)

Little Ol' Iris cabin got the opposite. Their whole cabin was painted so black, it would have made Phil Lester's hair seem downright brown. Butch threatened to punch whoever was responsible.   

(Phil Lester hair!)

The sleepy Hypnos kids were awoken to loud music blasting their eardrums, and all of their warm milk was swapped out with bubbly soda.  

Nemesis campers beds were littered with fortune cookies, and Damien and the others were aggressively stomping all over the innocent cookies.

  All of Nike's children went hysterical when they woke up to polish their first place trophies and medals, like they do every morning, and found SECOND, and the horror, THIRD PLACE medals and trophies.

All the Hebe Cabin's mirrors were enchanted to make them look old.

Tyche cabin had loads of stuff that was 'bad luck' there were black cats roaming, latter's over every bunk, and a cracked mirror in the bathroom. The basics, but that didn't stop Chiara from screeching and trying to decapitate the Hermes kids.  

And Hecate, the magic lil cinnamon buns, woke up to owls dropping off Hogwarts letters. Fakke Hogwarts letters. Let's just say Lou Ellen transformed more than a few Hermes kids into pigs.

And to our amazement, the Hermes kids weren't proudly taking claim of these creative pranks. Hermes Cabin lost all of it's blackmail, for Hera's sake, and they would never do that to THEMSELVES. So who the Hades came up with these ideas?!

We got our answer later, at dinner, when the culprits showed their faces.

"NOT MY DIVISON!" Liv shouted as she ran away from Mr. D, who was trying to turn her into a crazy dolphin or something. It was her fault for throwing grapes at him.

Then, suddenly a large group of girls with bows and arrows and other assorted weapons burst through the doors to the Dining Pavilion. The leader, a familiar girl with black hair and electric blue eyes, smirked at us and her eyes swept over us all.  

"Got ya." she said with an amused smile.

"Thalia!" a horrified gasp was heard "It was YOU?!" "Sit down, Grace, let your hot sister talk,"

"Valdez...." Thalia warned the Latino Elf. Leo shrugged, as if to say 'you can't blame a guy for trying,'. Thalia looked prepared to kick Leo in the groin with her black combat boots, but seemed to decide it wasn't worth her time. She adjusted her silver bracelet that turned into a shield,  Aegis, modeled after the one that my mom had. 

"Can I tell them?!" An excited hunter from behind Thalia asked. The voice was definitely familiar, and although it took me a second, I knew exactly who it was.

"Jade, you little...." I murmured when I spotted the broadly grinning 14 year old.

"Go ahead, Torch." Artemis's Lieutenant granted Jade permission to spill the beans on their master plan. " And yes, it was me, little bro."

I glanced at Blond Superman, who was scowling at his sister. "It took me forever to get out of Zeus cabin." The 18 year old mumbled.

Thalia suppressed a grin, but ignored her (older) younger brother.

Jade began to explain "So, we were in the neighborhood," I heard someone from the audience scoff  "and we decided to pay you all a visit."

Sky Taylor poked her head out from the mob of hunters "It was Jade's idea to set up an elaborate prank for each and every cabin!"

"And you just LET her take all the books and scrolls from our CABIN?!" I asked Sky, jokingly. She's a daughter of Athena, and when Jade joined the hunters around a year and a half ago, she followed.

She gave me a sheepish smile, as did Jade.

A hunter from the back of the crowd who I didn't know started speaking "We've been here since last night," she announced with a grin "And no one suspected a thing." the girl said wistfully, before tucking her wavy, crimson red locks behind her ear.

Chiron stepped forward and congratulated  the Hunters on their success.

"I want my make-up back!" Kylie whined. I heard Thalia groan. "We had Lady Artemis turn you into a Coxcomb flower for a reason. Who turned her back?"

(Kylie the Coxcomb)

(Haha, I chose the flower coxcomb, and when I was looking for a picture of it, I found out that it's like a word for a 'conceited foolish person' or something XD, fits her PERFECTLY) 

I could of sworn I hear Apollo laugh and mutter "Thank you, Sis." to the moon.

A few minutes later, after the Hunters were done bragging, and promised to restore anything they tampered with, I noticed that Liv was sitting with Apollo again. (AND DISOBEYING ZE RULES, MIGHT I ADD, *COUGH* *COUGH*)

When I gave her a questioning look, she smirked and whisper screamed "April Fools." and gave me jazz hands.

I rolled my eyes. Of course she didn't really break up with Apollo.

Everyone was smiling, and this was probably one of the best days we've had at camp for quite some time. No one has gone missing or found dead in around two months. Nothing since February 12th, the day after my 13th birthday, when Jake Mason, Son of Hephaestus, disappeared. (Hephaestus Cabin was just getting all ze bad luck)

Things seemed to be looking up. Now, all we had to do was figure out how the Hades to get the missing campers back. I sighed. Way to be a party-pooper, me.

Later, at the campfire, the hunters were mingling with campers (mostly the female campers, though,), and all was well for once. I looked around and everyone seemed so... happy.

Jade and Liv were talking, and Apollo was butting into the conversation every four seconds, eventually causing Jade to slap him.

Olivia was laughing with Kayla Knowles, daughter of Apollo. "Olivia Saxton!!!!! I will not hesitate to curse you so bad, you'll be speaking in rhyming couplets for the next month!"  I heard Kayla declare. Olivia grinned.

All my half-siblings were talking and laughing. All my friends were too. I seemed to be one of the only people by myself. Go figure. I crept my way back to the Athena cabin. Seeing as I was tired beyond comprehension, I attempted to go to sleep. I failed. Miserably. But eventually, my eyes grew heavy and I was asleep.
