Annabeth started a long trek towards the Hades cabin, carrying a hiking bag filled with Percy’s sleeping bag, 5 tins of baked beans and 6 canisters of bug spray. Some would say she overpacked for a night in a cabin less than 100 meters from her own and would then be met with a slap to the face. She was PREPARED. She approached the black door and knocked using the skull shaped door knocker that was giving major emo vibes. The door creaked open, revealing Piper grinning like a madwoman, holding one of the self help books Hazel had bought for Nico, which he never used, but were on all of the shelves in Cabin 13.
“Come in, come in,” Piper said, “We were just about to summon Satan.” Annabeth walked in and glanced at Nico’s scented candles, which were arranged in a pentagon shape on the ground. She slowly turned toward Piper and Hazel and said “ You are aware that Satan doesn't exist and Had-Hazel’s dad hates having his afternoon nap disturbed.”
After multiple failed summoning attempts and an angry visit from Pluto, Annabeth watched Piper pull a Madonna record from thin air and put it on the record player. Material Girl blared through the speaker and Piper pulled Hazel up to dance with her.
“PIPER, PLEASE STOP!” Hazel shouted after multiple pirouettes, “I’M DIZZY!” Piper suddenly let go, causing Hazel to fall into a pile of cushions. Hazel picked up a pillow and threw it at Piper, only to miss and hit Annabeth, who was doing something on Daedalus laptop, which Hazel had retrieved from Tartarus using her powers. Annabeth, slowly grabbing her pillow and cracking her knuckles, whispered “You have no one to blame but yourself.” She then threw it at Hazel. A pillow fight that would go down in history then began and by the end of it feathers covered every surface and cheesy romance novel in Nico’s collection.
At that moment Nico shadow traveled into the room, having looked through the window and decided to not get involved, and grabbed Heartstopper 4. Before he could get away, Piper noticed him lurking in a dark, dark corner of the room, squealed, and grabbed his arm to pull him into the middle of the room. “MAKEOVER!” Piper screamed. She rummaged through her makeup bag and brought out a bright pink bottle of nail polish. “Sorry Nico.” Hazel whispered. Annabeth looked up from the book she was reading and said,”She’s been infected with Drewness,” sarcasm dripping off her tongue, “Quick, call Will!”
“Don’t be ridiculous.” Piper had apparently finished painting Nico’s nails in the shade bubblegum, and was actually aware of her surroundings. “Drew has been infected with Piperness.” Hazel’s laugh turned into a yawn, as she suggested they go to sleep now as it was 1 in the morning. The others agreed, and Hazel pushed Nico out of the cabin, leaving him outside to get to cabin seven on his own. They fell asleep to a wonderful night filled with nightmares and visions.
