Hypothetically Speaking
AN: So I'm still not done with The Dating Game, but this idea came to me and I really wanted to type it before I forgot it and once it's typed there's no point in not posting it. Anyway, this is my second Tratie and I hope it comes out good.
Katie Gardner sat tending to her strawberries while Travis Stoll sat beside her complaining.
"I'm bored," he whined and Katie rolled her eyes. "I'm hungry."
Katie was getting annoyed very quickly. It was his fault he was stuck here helping her anyway- he had no right to nag. After his last prank and Katie's last screaming fit, Chiron sent them to work in the strawberry fields together until they learned to peacefully coexist.
"Katie. I. Am. Bored," Travis said for the hundredth time.
"Well maybe if you helped-" Katie started.
"You won't let me help!" Travis interrupted. "You're a control freak."
"I am not."
"Yes you are."
"I just feel like you'll mess something up, and besides, I prefer to do everything myself. Is that so bad?" Katie sat back on her heels and wiped her hands on her jeans.
"Can we play a game," Travis asked suddenly because Katie was retying her hair and he didn't want to be caught starring.
"Sure."
"What game?" Travis asked. Katie shrugged like it really didn't matter. "Katie what game?"
"Why can't you pick?" she asked turning to him. He blushed, because well, Katie was blush worthy.
"I want you to pick."
"Why?"
"Because," he sated, averting his eyes from her unwavering gaze.
"Well I want you to pick," she countered.
"Why?"
"Because," she mimicked.
"Because is not an answer," Travis mumbled.
"But you said because," Katie pointed out.
"Well that's because I'm awesome."
"Oh! Let's play hypothetically speaking."
"What's that?" Katie stared at him like he was insane and he squirmed and blushed again.
"Hypothetically what would you do if you had to live off of cereal for the rest of your life?" Katie asked.
"I'd ask Percy to run me through with Riptide," Travis replied.
"That's how you play."
"Oh okay, I get it."
"Good. Your turn."
AN: Okay so I decided to make this a two-shot, because their pregame banter took a while and I really wanted the game to be its own chapter. I might make this even longer than two chapters depending on what you guys say, but for now I just have the idea for the next chapter where I promise there will be Tratie. Thank you for reading. Review. Please and thank you!
