Saturday
"Travis, I is thinking that I should buy that pony tea set, soon!"Connor admitted hazily, breaking the silence in the sleeping Hermes cabin.
Travis groaned and covered his head under his pillow. Connor had been sleep walking and talking for the past month ever since Connor hit it off wrong with one of Hypnos' daughter, Dozie. Connor began shaking Travis's arm, saying some more muffled words that Travis didn't try to translate. He looked at his watch, and it was three in the morning. UGH
Travis hit him with his pillow, "Shut it, Connor. Go away, for Hermes' sake!"
After a few hits, Connor snapped out of it. "Oh gods, man. I did it again, didn't I?" he asked.
Travis turned over in his bed. "Yup. You're lucky you didn't wake Bonnie and Clydette again," he pointed out grouchily, wanting to fall back asleep.
Connor smirked, "That was pretty funny, man."
Travis didn't respond. Connor began snickering, "Oh don't be such a grumpy gills! Did Connor interrupt your dreams about her, again?"
Travis shot his eyes open. "Who is 'her?'" he questioned Connor.
Connor winked. "She rhymes with Gatie Kardner…" he teased.
Travis hit him with his pillow. "Not now, Connor. And, go to sleep, you idiot. And no, my dream was about Megan Fox."
"Really?" Connor poked.
"Will you two idiots shut up!" two voices simultaneously insisted. Bonnie and Clydette.
Connor slipped back into his bed, grinning like a winner. Travis huffed and tried to fall back asleep.
At breakfast, Connor and Travis were discussing another episode from Mythbusters with Chris while scooting their treys along the buffet.
"And remember how cool it was when the machine went KABOOM, instead of CLICK. Hilarious!" Connor added, as the brothers unconsciously put piles of food onto their plate.
Travis had about four boxes of Frosted Flakes and was adding more when a voice cleared behind him.
"You're not supposed to take more than two boxes, remember?" the voice nagged, snatching the extra boxes from his plate and putting it back on the shelves.
Katie freakin' Gardner.
Connor and Chris slid away, wiggling eye brows at him and smirking. Travis didn't know what to say exactly. His palms were sweaty, and he didn't know what to do.
Then his cocky side came out, "Well, why would I care?" he grabbed the two boxes and put them back on his plate.
Her look was shocked, and she slanted her eyes into a questioning glare. "But that's against the rules! It's not fair!" she claimed.
Travis didn't realize he shrugged until he finished saying, "Life's not fair. How about you put some extra ones on your plate then?"
She gasped. "But that wouldn't be fair to everyone else!"
Travis clicked his tongue. "Well, they can suck that," he said.
Katie was beet red and flustered. "It's people like you that make this world horrible, Travis!" she spat.
Travis cocked a brow, "Because I eat more cereal? Oh take me to jail, now."
Katie shook her head, "It's not just that. There's more to it than your pea brain could ever figure out." She stormed away with a huff.
Connor stepped next to Travis. "Smooth, man. Real smooth," he placed a hand on his shoulder.
Travis blinked. "Wait. Oh gods, man. Why do I keep screwing up!" he whined as the brothers walked to their table.
Connor shrugged, "I don't know ,man. I mean, with other girls you're like the God of Slick and Smooth Flirting. But with her…you're like God of I know How To Piss You Off."
"This is bad, man. I got it, real bad," Travis pitifully claimed, drinking his orange juice as if it was some strong drink.
Connor smirked, "I think you're getting old, dude. You've lost your mojo."
Travis squirted the juice fro, his mouth. "WHAT!" he shrieked.
Connor shrugged, "You've lost it, man. Katie Gardner has whipped you out of your old ways and you haven't even gone out with her, dude. It's a shame."
Travis gasped. He was totally right. But he couldn't be right! He was Travis Freaking Stoll!
He had to prove Connor wrong. "Wait, I still have it in me! I know it! Here look!" Travis stood up abruptly and walked over to the Aphrodite table.
Connor observed as Travis began chatting with some random (but hot) brunette, she giggled, he winked, and he walked away. Travis sat down. "I have a date tonight by the lake," he announced.
Connor blinked. "What's her name, anyway?"
"I don't know," Travis grimaced, taking another swish of his orange juice.

Connor tried not to laugh while Travis touched the bright red slap mark on his cheek, hovering over the sink looking in the mirror.
"What did you do to make her slap you? Did you say something?" Connor asked.
Travis wearily replied, "I don't even remember, man."
"Hate to break it to you dude, but you have lost your swag. It's official," Connor announced.
Travis sighed. Travis knew it was probably true, and Connor was going to be totally on top of the Hot Shot Pyramid.
But then again, he was Travis Freaking Stoll. He didn't give up like that. Travis walked over to his bed and clicked his trunk open. He pulled something out and held it close to him. "Connor, I'm going to get my swagger back. See these 500 drachmas? If I don't kiss Katie Gardner by the end of next week, they're all yours."
Connor gasped. He knew Travis had been saving up those coins for the quest he never got to go on. Or probably "borrowed" them from the camp store's cash register. "Man, are you sure?" he asked, half laughing because he thought it was a joke and half seriously because…this was serious.
Travis nodded. Connor looked around. "Well, what if you do get some by the end of next week? Do I have to give you something?" Connor asked.
Travis shook his head. "Nope, just proving you wrong and restoration of my damaged pride will be good enough as a reward."
Connor stepped forward. "Swear on the Styx."
"I swear on the River Styx that if I don't kiss Katie Gardner by next Sunday night that I'll give Connor 500 drachmas." The two brothers shook on it.
Connor began laughing. "Dude, you do know that she's seriously pissed at you, right?"
Aw shoot.
Hey guys! Here's my new baby Flowery Swag.
Hope you liked this first chapter, and if you did please review! I need to know if I should continue this!
There's going to be a chapter for every day of the week until Sunday night…where we shall see if Katie puckers up for Travis.
So thanks for reading, and have a magical epic-fun-filled day!
(I don't own PJATO, Mythbusters, Frosted Flakes, and I don't own any swag. I'm awkward.)
:P
