Pressing the plump strawberry to her freckled nose, Katie couldn't help but smile serenely as she breathed in the fragrant scent. Strawberry picking was one of the most calming sensations, and it always helped relax her.

There wasn't anything better for the daughter of Demeter than the cooling sensation that she felt while tasting the sweet strawberries.

She picked up a plump strawberry and smiled, before placing it in her beautiful basket. Perfectly woven with stalks of bamboo, the basket was completely and utterly ethereal. The basket had been a gift from her mother, Demeter, Goddess of Harvest, and she treasured it.

Placing the basket on the ground, Katie couldn't help but sit down under the shade of a nearby tree. Closing her eyes softly, she couldn't help but feel completely relaxed. There was something amazing about the nearby birds chirping quietly, and the faint breeze in the hot summer air. In a matter of time, she was fast asleep.

A flicker of mischief flashed through Travis Stoll's eyes, warning any outsider of messing with the prank-obsessed demigod. Thankfully for them, they were deemed safe – at least for the time being.

Travis's new target was in fact, the lovely Demeter councilor. There was something about her that just screamed Prank me! Maybe it was her pretty green eyes that sparkled with anger every time she was angry. Or maybe it was her enormous amount of cursing that seemed to fly after being pranked. Whatever it was, Travis undoubtedly favored pranking her over anyone else.

The only problem was, that he had no idea how to prank her. All of the pranks he had done before had been lavish and extraordinary, so this one would have to be over the top as well.

There was always the option of putting Chocolate Bunnies on the top of her cabin. But that was so old school, not to mention that he had already done that.

He could steal her iPod, but that would be too basic.

He could be Photoshop pictures of her kissing some random guy, but he already done that. The aftermath of that prank hadn't been pretty, his unmentionables still hurt from that swift kick in the neither region.

Travis couldn't help but sigh sadly, he couldn't think of anything to annoy the Demeter councilor, and that had honestly never happened to him.

He could go old school and stop her from picking strawberries. That seemed to annoy her the most out of everything. For some reason, she seemed to love picking the damned strawberries.

Making his way toward the strawberry fields, Travis smiled. Call it his inner Demeter, but for some reason he always liked strawberries. Especially in strawberry flavored coke. The one thing he hated about being a demigod was the legitimate coke-a-cola drinks, not the cheapass look-a-likes from the Mess Hall.

Anyway, when he arrived in the strawberry fields, the first thing he saw were rows and rows of fresh strawberries, ripe for picking. He smirked, the Demeter kids seemed to be lacking in their duties. Maybe he could mention that to Katie sometime, he was sure that she'd get a kick out of that one.

Walking in between the rows, he couldn't help but see a small figure under a tree. Walking closer to it, Travis was alert, you never know what was lurking in the shadows.

When he reached the tree, he couldn't help but gasp. A small, slender girl was sleeping under the tree. Travis wished he had a camera, so he could take a picture of the heavenly sight in front of him.

The girl was beautiful, simply put. Long black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and she had long eyelashes that framed her eyes perfectly. A faint smattering of freckles accented the bridge of her nose, and her lips were small, yet full. Travis noticed she was wearing a flowery tank top along with jean shorts which, by the way, showed off her shapely, tanned legs. Her tank top, he noticed, showed off a respectable amount of cleavage.

He scooped her in her arms, and he couldn't help but notice how she fit in his arms perfectly. The girl moaned softly and cuddled closer to him.

He glanced at her again, spying a necklace. He peered at it curiously, wondering about the identity of mystery girl.

On the apple shaped pendent, the initials KG were carved delicately. Using his brains, Travis deduced that the apple stood for Demeter. Looking closer, he realized the name Katie was brandished underneath the two letters.

He frowned at that. The only Katie from Demeter was Katie Gardner, and as far as he knew, she wasn't exactly the most beautiful girl in the world.

Yeah, she was pretty, but beautiful?

That might be pushing it.

Deciding to be the saint that he had claimed he was, Travis walked to the Demeter Cabin, ignoring the strange looks he was receiving from the curious campers. He couldn't exactly blame them. He was holding a counselor in his arms, and she wasn't exactly hurt.

Knocking on the cabin door, he waited quietly. He hadn't ever been her, other than the time Connor and he had come to decorate the roof with chocolate bunnies.

A dark haired girl answered the door with a smile, but it soon slid off her face, recognition flooding into her face. "What do you want?" she glared.

Travis rolled his eyes at her behavior, "Here's Katie, and she fell asleep in the Strawberry fields."

The girl's eyes softened, before glancing at the girl in his arms. She made room for him to come inside, and Travis walked inside.

"She's bunk 17." He heard the girl say behind him.

Observing his surroundings, he couldn't help but look at how green everything was. The beds had minty green sheets, with earthy pillows. The walls were a light shade of green, and plants were everywhere.

He searched for bunk 17, before finding it quickly. The bunk next to Katie's was occupied with two girls. The first girl, he recognized, as an Aphrodite girl. The other girl was a Demeter girl, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes at them. The two girls were staring at him with wide eyes. The Aphrodite girl picked up her camera and took a picture of him and Katie. The Demeter girl rolled her eyes at the Aphrodite girl, before she glared at him, "What did you do to her?"

"Nothing, she fell asleep in the strawberry fields." Travis answered.

The two girls awed simultaneously and started giggling.

Travis rolled his eyes, he wasn't one for girl talk. Whatever they would talk about probably wasn't a big deal, and it wouldn't even concern him, so why matter?

Little did he know, how wrong he was.
