Travis POV

I was sitting in the strawberry fields thinking of pranks. I somehow think well out here but others say it was because I have a crush on Katie Gardener, which is not true we are sworn enemies but she is nice when she's not trying to kill me, and she is pretty beautiful when she's upset.

I was trying to convince myself that I didn't like Katie when m twin Connor came running up.

"What is it." I asked

"Something amazing, all I need you to do is throw this at Katie." He said as he pulled out an apple.

"Will it embarrass her somehow?" I asked unsure.

"Absolutely" Connor smiled the signature Hermes smile.

"All right I'm in." I only didn't know it would embarrass me too.

5 minutes later

We had spotted Katie working on her garden. The day before I had turned her roses blue. I had overheard that she wished for blue roses. She looked pretty mad along with the rest of the Demeter cabin, but I also noticed the vase of blue roses by her bed through the window and her smiling slightly.

"Okay man it's all up to you now." Connor said as he brought me back to reality.

"Why can't you do it it just throwing an apple."

"No, this has to be done by you." He whispered seriously.

"Okay, but I'm doing it extravagantly."

I walked out into the open. I got the apple ready.

" HEY KATIE" I yelled. As she turned to yell back I through the apple and it landed in her mouth. She looked like one of those roasted pigs. I double over laughing at her expression.

All the sudden the whole Demeter cabin came running up and tackled me. I got bruised in so many places I could hardly stand up when they left. Then Connor came up laughing extremely hard, and videotaping me.

"Why are you laughing?" I coughed out.

"In Ancient Greece throwing an apple at a girl was a marriage proposal." Laughed a new voice.

"Thanks for explaining, Annabeth." Connor replied

"So you had propose to Katie, because let me guess you think we are crushing on each other?"

"Exactly!" Connor said excitedly.

"Give it up, everybody knows you like each other, confess so maybe Katie can." Annabeth said.

Maybe I should admit, so I can hear how she really feels. No I don't like Katie Gardner , I don't like the daughter of Demeter. "I don't like her!" I said. Annabeth sighed and walked away. My trattorias brother helped me up then ran away. I just sighed. Percy walked up.

"Let me guess, Demeter cabin?" He asked.

"Yah."

"Do I want to know?"

"No." I said.

Percy started to walk away when I had an idea. "Hey, I want you to throw this at Annabeth." I said as I pulled out the apple Connor gave me. Percy gave me a weird look. "I swear on the River of Styx that I didn't do anything to the apple." I exclaimed. I even put my hand on my heart. He looked satisfied.

"Is there a pranking reason why I have to do this to my girlfriend, that I'm pretty sure can beat me up." He said worried, I smiled a non-prankster smile and said…

"She'll love it, promise." I couldn't wait to see her reaction.
