So I know I really shouldn't be starting a new story when I have like 3 others, which I really need to update often, but I really wanted to put up a story about Tratie because I think it's so cute. Please tell me what you think about it and don't forget to review.

Disclaimer: I don't own own Percy Jackson and the Olympians…not yet anyways

Katie's POV

Ugh! Why her? Why did she have to be paired up with the most useless demi-god ever born in history? Travis Stoll…sure she hadn't seen him almost all year, but she knew that he was the one who had painted her prize winning strawberries blue and taken her best spade and dug it into an underground hole in the forest. Why did Chiron have to hold pair week, where everyone would "Get to know each other".

Lost in her thoughts, she didn't notice the figure approaching her from behind, until that someone put their hands on one of her shoulder's causing her to jerk around, unsheathing her knife in the process, only to find herself face to face with none other than Travis Stoll.

She almost didn't recognize him; he had changed so much over this past year. His straight brown hair was a bit longer than the last time she had seen him, and it hung adorably over his brilliant blue eyes, which seemed to have gotten brighter, stared intently into hers. He had gotten more muscular over the long time period, and a good tan. He had gotten taller, and stood about two or three inches above her. He was wearing a white t-shirt and jeans, with a pair of Ray-Bans hanging from his collar. Over all he was defiantly handsome. What happened to the slightly geeky boy who left little under a year ago? Katie thought to her self, still lost in his mesmerizing crystal clear blue eyes.

As she became aware of her surroundings she realized she was still holding her dagger to his neck. Slowly, Katie removed the blade from Travis' neck and stepped back from his awkward sort-of embrace, clearing her throat in the process.

"Travis, what are you doing here?" She spoke in an irritated clipped voice, which was full of hostility, forgetting for the moment that he was her partner. Well, why shouldn't she be irritated? But she felt immediately guilty when she saw hurt flash across his perfect face.

"Um…I'm sorry?" Katie then suggested in a soft questioning tone.

"It's okay Kates…I guess I deserved that, huh?" he replied in a questioning tone as well, but his question was rhetorical, so he really didn't expect her to reply.

"Um… not really…I'm sorry Travis, really." she said awkwardly, yet sincerely clearing have her throat, "Well, we should get started with this pair thingy mabob. Otherwise who knows what Chiron… no scratch that…Mr.D will do to us..." she was babbling in her nervousness.

Travis just rolled his beautiful blue eyes, and to her surprise took her hand, and led her towards the Big House, where Chiron would give them their timetables for the rest of the week…which wasn't that bad, but for the fact that they had to stay with their partner at all times, except for at meals and at night…it would be slightly creepy to have Travis watching her when she slept.

Pushing these useless thoughts from her head she focused on the fact that Travis' warm hand was still clutching hers as he ran towards the big blue building. They stopped at the door and Katie looked up at Travis in confusion. Then he looked down into her eyes and said,

"Oh, and by the way I didn't spray paint your strawberries, that was Connor and the new kid." His voice was serious, and by looking onto his gorgeous eyes Katie could tell that he was telling the truth, which made her blush, realizing she had yelled at him before for something he hadn't done.

"Ugh…why is it always me? Don't worry, I'm going to make them pay." She spoke in a menacing voice.

Laughing at her Travis pulled her through the doorway, towards Chiron's office, who promptly handed them their timetable for the week. Travis took one look at his and whooped in joy, looking at her own piece of paper, Katie noticed that their first lesson today, was monster hunting in the forest.

Great, she thought to herself now's a great time to make a fool of myself in front of him, and then he might not like me back. Wait, did she just think that? Aphrodite, stop messing with my head. She mentally cursed the Goddess, but her curses were cut off by Travis practically dragging her out of the big house, towards the dark forest.

She tried to stop him by dragging her feet behind her, which made him stop and look at her pale, scared face.

"Kates, come on." And when she shook her head vigorously, he just sighed and continued "Chill, Katie, I wont let anything hurt you…okay?" he said, wait for a reply, which came in the form of a small nod.

And with that he led the terrified Daughter of Demeter, who was clinging to his arm like a lifeline, to the dense forest, and the challenge that awaited them in there.
