"Katie."
"Hm?" Katie wasn't paying attention. She was focused on her laptop, and more importantly, harvesting her crops on Farmville. Her time was limited. She didn't want her strawberries to wither. That would be one thousand Farm Cash down the toilet.
"I wanted to ask you something."
"Uh huh," she said. A small thrill of excitement went up her spine. She'd just completed building her orchard, and could finally store all her trees in it. That would make for more room for her red tulips.
"And, well, it's kind of important."
"Okay." She clicked on her Candy Cane Unicorn. Despite the fact that it resembled a horse, the stupid game wouldn't let her place it in her horse stable. It was discrimination, in her opinion, just because it had an anomaly. If she could, she'd fight for Unicorn rights and congregation.
"We've known each other for a really long time."
"Yup." She opened up the Mystery Egg in her gift box. She hoped it was one of the Valentine's Day animals in the market that she couldn't afford. It was a wheelbarrow.
"And I think we've been getting along a little bit better than usual…"
"Mhmm." Did she really need to buy a cow print grain silo? She'd gain two hundred fifty XP points, but it was twenty five thousand Farm Cash… She decided to go ahead and buy it. What the heck, why not?
"And over the past few days, I've gotten to know you a little better."
"Gotcha." She bought a nail to add to her Valentine's Day Castle. Four more and her castle would be complete.
"You're smart, and funny, and really pretty. But most of all, you are the most oblivious person I know."
"Yeah." She clicked on the icon at the bottom of the screen, allowing her to visit her sister Lavender's farm. She fed the chickens and received another Mystery Egg.
"And because I know you aren't listening to me as I say this, I'm going to confess my deepest secret to your face, and hope you really aren't listening so you don't punch me."
"Sure," she said, nodding. She internally sighed. Lavender obviously had not been keeping up with her farm. All her crops were withered, and they were poinsettias, no less. That meant that she hadn't looked at her farm since December.
"I really like you, Katie, and I can't say I haven't for a really long time. I'd ask you to go out with me, but I'm almost certain you'd say no."
"Right." Finally, she thought. She had visited every single one of her neighbors on Farmville, and that was quite a lot of farms. But she had gained around two thousand extra Farm Cash, so she decided it was worth it. "So, what did you want to tell me, Travis?" she asked, finally looking up at him.
He smiled slightly, but it didn't reach his eyes. His cheeks were rather rosy, but that could have been due to the extreme winter weather they were experiencing." Happy Valentine's Day, Katie."
Travis turned on his heel and marched through the door, entering the cold, snowy wasteland that was Camp Half-Blood .She wondered how he could stand walking through two feet of snow all the Hermes Cabin to the Demeter Cabin, just to say Happy Valentine's Day. It really wasn't worth the trip, in her opinion. But then again, she wasn't a fan of winter like most people.
A notification popped up on her screen, disrupting her thoughts immediately. She read it over quickly, ready to do anything for her farm at a second's notice.
Travis Stoll has sent you a Valentine. Would you like to send Travis one?
She blinked rapidly, half expecting to have read it wrong. She did have dyslexia, after all. But no, she had read it right. She suddenly had a feeling that she knew what Travis was really trying to say just minutes ago. After debating the decision with her mind, she finally clicked 'yes'.
She only hoped she was right in her assumption of what the Valentine really meant.
Hmm… well, this was my first Tratie fic, and I think I did pretty good, if I do say so myself. Does anyone else think that Katie would be a Farmville addict? It makes the perfect hobby for her when she can't garden.
And I know Travis was probably WAAAAY out of character, but this was the best I could do. Ah, well.
