SwanDestiny: I'm SwanDestiny to those of you new to my stories and welcome to Tratie ABCs!
I'm sorry if this story isn't going to be good... I'm still not getting to the point where my writing is going to be absolutely fantastic... At least I think so...
And I might be switching from 1st person to 3rd person, MIGHT.
Anyways, it's time to do the disclaimer:
Percy: Why am I here? Isn't this story going to be about Travis and Katie?
SwanDestiny: Yes, but your one of my favorite characters!
Percy: But I was in the middle of playing cards with Jason, Piper, Annabeth, Frank, and Hazel!
SwanDestiny: So you're leaving Leo out.
Percy: Wha-what? Noo! Leo is being all romantic with Calypso and they both don't even hear us, it's like they're the only people in the world!
SwanDestiny: Aww... that's so romantic...
Percy: Well it sure is annoying. Annabeth is going to kill me for disappearing when it was our turn?
SwanDestiny: "Our turn?"
Percy: We're playing couples against couples.
SwanDestiny: Oh, so if you just do the disclaimer you can go back to playing cards with Jasper, Frazel, and your one true love.
Percy: Jasper? Frazel? Ugh, whatever, SwanDestiny doesn't own the Percy Jackson series or the Heroes of Olympus series.
SwanDestiny: Jasper is Jason and Piper and Frazel is Frank and Hazel. Oh, and by the way, you and Annabeth are Percabeth.
Percy: Okayyy, I'm gonna go.
Aphrodite's Blessing
Katie POV
Katie tended to the strawberry plants at Camp Half-Blood in the morning, for once having peace in her life.
"Katie-Kat!" shouted a voice, which Katie was too familiar with, and the peacefulness of gardening ended.
Katie groaned and turned around to face Travis and prepared for trouble and mischief.
He walked over over, and Katie was ready for him to trap her in a box or for him to slam a pie in her face or... there were many possibilities.
He cleared his throat, "I have a challenge for you, if you can get Aphrodite's blessing by the end of the day I'll stop bothering you for a month, but if you can't..." Travis smirked, "You have to become my personal servant for a month."
Katie felt anger rise, being Travis's servant for a month?
Then she calmed herself down, having no Travis to bother her for a month sounded tempting though, and she reconsidered the offer.
But being Travis's servant would be a nightmare, and nothing was worth the risk of being that.
"Nope, I don't accept the challenge," Katie confirmed, Travis's smirk grew wider.
"Are you scared?"
Katie felt her anger rise again, of course she wasn't scared! She wasn't going to cower before Travis Stoll!
"Fine! I accept the challenge." she shouted at Travis.
Travis grinned at her, "Okay, prepare yourself to do some dirty laundry."
Katie gasped, what was she thinking?
Katie scolded herself, now she was going to have to become Travis's servant, and didn't Aphrodite only give blessings to her daughters and sons?
She headed towards the Aphrodite cabin, she was going to have to do some serious work that didn't involve plants.
Katie knocked on the door of the Aphrodite's cabin and tapped her foot as she waited.
Seriously? Travis wanted her to get Aphrodite's blessing? Where did that come from?
The door opened to reveal Piper and she smiled at her, "Hey Katie! How are you today?"
"Not so good," Katie grumbled.
Piper looked at her worriedly, "Are you ok?"
"Physically? No. Inside? Yes."
Piper ushered Katie into the Aphrodite cabin and let her explained what happened.
"And I DO NOT want to be Travis's servant for a MONTH, a MONTH!" Katie concluded.
Piper nodded, well we'll have to contact Mom somehow then, it seems like Aphrodite really likes the idea of Tratie so she might give you her blessing."
Katie stared at Piper, "Tratie?"
"Travis and you, it's a name my siblings made up," Piper explained hurriedly, "Now how to contact my mom?"
Katie was horrified, Tratie?!
Piper saw the look on Katie's face, "You really must hate Travis."
Katie nodded stiffly.
"Come on, I've got an idea," Piper said, guiding Katie to somewhere else.
"Okay, we might be able to contact my mom from here," Piper said, gesturing to the romantic garden.
"It's where Jason and I had our first kiss," Piper said, sighing like an Aphrodite girl would.
"Okay... so what do I do?" Katie asked.
"Take some rose petals and throw them into the fountain. I've got to go on a date with Jason, I wonder where he's taking me." Piper said dreamily, walking away.
Katie was left alone at the romantic garden and mumbled to herself, "Time to go to work."
She grew some roses and plucked off their petals and let them float in the fountain, she continued this for what seemed like forever and grew so frustrated that hundreds of roses exploded, littering their petals all around the garden, Katie looked up and saw the sun set, she had little time left to get Aphrodite's blessing.
"Thank you dear, the petals were a nice touch to this romantic place," said a voice sounding like a beautiful melody.
Katie turned around, "Aphrodite?"
"That's me," said Aphrodite smiling.
"I know you have a request for my blessing, but I'll have to see..." said Aphrodite, trailing off.
"But I don't want to be Stoll's servant for a month!" she said, panicking.
Aphrodite thought for a moment, "If I did give you my blessing Travis would be paralyzed with your beauty, it'll be so romantic! Maybe the blessing could help with Tratie!" Aphrodite squealed.
"What? Nevermind, I'd rather be Travis's servant than his girlfriend. Byyyeee!"
Katie walked away only to be zapped and surrounded by a pink aura, she turned around and saw Aphrodite smile at her and disappear in a flash of light.
Katie walked back from the garden to camp, where at the pavilion nymphs were serving dinner.
She saw Travis beaming, bragging to the rest of the Hermes cabin about how he now has a personal servant, Katie walked over to him and tapped him on the shoulder."
"Wha-" Travis stopped in mid-sentence as he was left speechless.
"Got Aphrodite's blessing, no bothering me for a month Stoll," she said, smirking.
"O-o-okay, he said, stuttering."
Katie smiled, this was going to be the best month ever.
