Chapter Three - Someone Drew an Aphrodite Spell

The next morning Travis and Connor tried to lighten their moods, by of course, pulling another prank. They stole a mango from one of the trees in the woods, the dryads weren't happy but the Stoll's didn't care. They spray painted it gold and wrote 'for the hottest' on it. They planted it at the Aphrodite cabin door. Instantly the cabin broke out in fighting, all arguing about who it was for. Gucci shoes were flying everywhere and clothes were being torn. Travis and Connor fell to the floor laughing, that's when Drew realised they had been pranked.

"You stupid gorgons!" she stormed up to them.

"hahaa-" Travis tried to stop laughing. "Calm down Drew don't get your designer underwear in a twist" he burst out laughing once more. Drew glared at them and then behind her approached the rest of the cabin.

"You enjoy pranks do you?" Drew said deviously. "Fine let's see how much you like this prank!" in which she pulled out a big makeup sponge and powder and threw it over the Stolls. When the mist of make-up cleared, Connor burst out laughing at Travis.

"Dude, nice look!" Travis grabbed a mirror one of the Aphrodite campers were holding and gasped. He looked like a girl, literally. His face was a tinged orange; he had bright red lips and smoky eye shadow on. His cheeks turned red and it wasn't because of the blusher.

"Yeah well look at you, you look like an extra out of Grease!" Connor looked down and realised why he felt like he couldn't breathe, his clothes had shrunk, they were skin tight and clung to his body. The Aphrodite campers all burst out laughing and shouting insults. Travis and Connor ran back to their cabin, other campers laughing as they ran by. Connor took off his clothes and replaced them, well at least that was over. Well, until Connor went to walk out and his current clothes shrunk on his body too. Travis ran out the bathroom soaking wet.

"Dude it won't come off! Whenever I wash it off it just reapplies itself!" Travis panicked.

"No matter how many times I change, my clothes keep shrinking 2 sizes too small!" Connor sighed. "I look like a geek."

"You are a geek." Travis said. They both sighed at each other and Travis put his shoulder on Connor's, they accepted it wasn't going to go away so they walked out the cabin. As everyone formed together to eat breakfast there was a lot of mutter and giggling. Travis and Connor stood in the line with their heads down as the other campers yelled stuff at them.

"Wit-woo!"

"Nice look boys!"

"Travis I love your lipstick! Really matches your eyes!"

The Stoll's looked up and they noticed all the Aphrodite campers winking, giggling and waving at them. Drew had a smirk on her face. Damn that girl was pretty but she sure was a cow, Connor thought.

It was rather hard to do sword fighting when no one could take you seriously, also it's pretty hard when you can't move properly because your clothes are so small. After so long they decided to give up and go sit down on the bench. A few minutes later Nyssa, daughter of Hephaestus, sat down next to them.

"Well, well, well what happened here" she giggled. She wore dungarees that were splattered in oil and grease, her black hair took back in a red bandana, although she was more built and taller than Connor and Travis, there was some beauty to the girl, especially for a Hephaestus kid.

"It's an Aphrodite spell." Travis replied.

"Really? I just thought you were trying a new style" She said sarcastically. "If so I was going to say it's not working," They all sat there in silence for a good minute. "Well, maybe I could possibly throw a wrench at Drew, tell her it's a type of Hephaestus spell." They laughed. Nyssa stood up tall and glared at the boys before taking a sword from her back pocket and twirling it in her hand.

"So, fancy a sword fight?" she teased.

"Isn't 2 on 1 a bit unfair? Especially when the 1 is a girl?" Travis asked.

"Guys look at yourselves, if anything I look more manly then both of you, plus Connor can barely move in those tight jeans, so it makes it totally fair." She put her sword up at eye level of the boys and winked.

"Let's do this." Connor smiled. With struggle Connor turned around to get his sword and all together the 3 battled.
