PJ and HP: The Final Chapter

Chapter 21

Guys I'm sorry I didn't update either of my books but I just graduated this week and I just didn't have to time being valedictorian and president (okay I'll stop bragging now) all while writing a bunch of speeches. I just realized I didn't upload the link for the last chapter so check it out later. Okay, Leo?
Leo: @rvaldez101 doesn't own anything.

Ron's POV;

It's been so long since Ron's relaxed that it feels immeasurably good to be doing it now. And the whole thing so far-plans to swim, playing a prank on Jason and Piper-is so much like it was before, at hogwarts, that the happiness from the past is settling into the present.

As soon as Ron came out with his swimming trunks, he immediately went up on deck and grabbed the camera off of Leo.

Ron adjusts his grip on the camera, careful not to drop it, and stops a couple of yards away from the place where Jason and Piper are lying, standing to Annabeth's right.

"Ready, Ron?" Percy asks him.

He nods, and presses the button to start recording, giddy with excitement. What's Percy going to do? He thinks to himself.

As he watches, Percy lifts his hands and forms a spherical shape in the air, as if molding clay into a ball. Then he gestures upwards, and a floating sphere of water rises up over the railing.

Bloody hell. Ron has to bite his tongue to keep from laughing out loud, but nothing can stop the manic grin from spreading across his face. Percy glances at him, flashes a grin, and gives him a thumbs up. Then he spreads his hands, palms downward, in a gesture that can only mean one thing...

...The sphere of water crashes downwards, bursting on impact with Jason and Piper and instantly soaking them. Both of them bolt upright, sputtering and coughing, choking on the saltwater. Piper shrieks at the initial contact, and Jason glances up once, realizes immediately what happened, and starts wiping water out of his eyes, cursing at them all.

Leo, Ron, Annabeth, and Percy all burst out laughing. Leo laughs the deep-down belly laugh that makes him sound like an mentally unstable elf, and Percy ends up rolling on the deck, tears streaming down his face, gasping for breath. Ron is laughing so hard, and he tries to so hard to stop smiling, but that just results in a face making him look constipated. Annabeth manages to stay on her feet, her hand over her mouth in an attempt to try and stifle the most of her laughter, but it just results in a choking noise that makes her sound like she's dying. She's the first to regain composure, but then she looks back at Jason and Piper and starts giggling again.

Leo, surprisingly, is the first one to assert enough control over himself to say something to Piper and Jason.

"Good morning, sleepyheads." He croons, and Piper shoots him a glare, water dripping into her eyes. If looks could kill...

His comment just sends Annabeth into a more hysterical fit of giggles, prompting a dirty look from Jason, who's trying to wipe some of the excess water from his skin. "Did you really have to wake us up like that?"

"What other way is there?" Ron asks innocently, raising his eyebrows.

Meanwhile, Percy recovers from his laughing fit and climbs to his feet, grinning manically. "Get up, lovebirds, we're going swimming!"

"I don't need to go swimming; I'm already soaked." Piper growls, wringing water out of her hair. Jason stands and helps her to her feet. The sight of them standing there, soaking wet, dripping water into a growing puddle on the deck, sends Annabeth into true hysterity.

"I'm-sorry." She gasps in response to Piper's death glare. "It's just been-so long-since I pulled-a good prank-"

"Oh, yeah, so everyone laughs at us." Piper replies, every word dripping with sarcasm.
