#3 – [I've never sang] A Bohemian Rhapsody

xxx

"What in Hades… is this real?" Travis paced around his cabin with a note in hand. It was a crumpled piece of paper, creased because of all the folds it had gone through. Travis had tried to use it for origami because he thought the paper was cursed and tried to see if it would burn if he turned it into a bunny. 'Because bunnies aren't evil!'

Travis had read the piece of paper all over again. It had blue ink scrawled over it in Chiron's handwriting.

Dear Travis,

You are not grounded anymore. In fact, I'm very sorry for grounding you in the first place! To make it up to you, we are going to give you everything you've ever wanted in one big package that will be delivered to you soon. May the gods bless you!

Yours Truly,

Chiron

"Holy Hermes!" Travis gaped at the letter crumpled so soft because Travis had shaken it around so much out of disbelief. "Or… is this just a fantasy?"

Travis sat down after minutes of pacing around the room endlessly. He stared at the note one more time and sighed. His smile slowly inched up into a smirk. He threw the note aside and lifted his hands up and shouted out to the sky.

"Bring me my everything!"

Everything was silent for a moment, until Travis heard rumbling slowly inching towards him. He opened the window and looked out. He saw a big wave of everything rushing towards him.

"Tartersauce!" he shouted as he closed the window, but a spaghetti noodle, a really hard and bungee unbreakable spaghetti noodle, slithered in between the windows, preventing it from closing. Travis tried to squeeze the noodle out of the way, but it was stuck.

"Oh dear gods…" Travis let go of the window and stared at the bigger picture.

A landslide of everything he had every wanted rushed in through the windows, leaving him no escape from what was happening now. And this was indeed, reality.

Travis was surrounded by everything he had every wished for that Chiron had refused to give him. But he couldn't want to get away more. He grabbed a gummy worm and dropped it in his mouth. While he chewed, he found an opening and squirmed himself out of the opening. As he got out, he opened his eyes and inhaled as much air as he could.

He looked out in the window and in the sky, he saw a huge spaceship descending towards him, with Katie Gardner in the pilot's seat.

"I'm just a poor boy…" Travis pleaded as he jumped out of the sea of his things and headed for the door. He practically crashed out of the door just as the spaceship landed. He gaped at it.

Slowly, the doors swished open. Travis locked his eyes on the door, waiting for one more thing on the list of things he's ever wanted to walk out those doors. He heard footsteps, echoing inside. Then Katie Gardner stepped out, wearing a full spacesuit, helmet on and everything.

Travis ran towards her and hugged her.

"I love you!" he shouted as he hugged her tight, spinning her.

He set her down and she began taking her helmet out and—

"Aww, Travis! I love you too!"

"WH-WHAT!"

Travis' jaw dropped as he stared at his brother Connor, grinning at him.

"You're—not—Katie—" Travis complained through gritted teeth. He stomped his foot on the ground in frustration.

"Clearly. I woulda been worried if I was," Connor laughed.

Travis sighed. He stared at the sky as he felt a slight breeze. It relaxed him.

"C'mon dude, not like you had a chance with her anyway. She loves someone else," Connor patted Travis on the back.

"She… she does? Who?" Travis muttered.

"Me, I just banged her last night," Connor chuckled.

"You're kidding me right?" Travis shot an angry glance at Connor.

"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not," Connor stuck his tongue.

Travis grumbled in frustration as he stomped back into the Hermes cabin, slamming the door behind him.

He grabbed a water gun from the pile and walked over to the very top. There stood one of Travis' childhood dreams—a perfectly made snowman. Travis looked at it, disgusted. He and Connor were supposed to make the perfect snowman together. And now, Connor had abandoned him.

"It doesn't really matter to me," he aimed the water gun, fully loaded, at the snowman's head. Then he pulled the trigger, and water squirted in full blast, melting the snowman until it was nothing more.

He watched as the snowman's happy face melted, his smile slowly melting into a frown. He dropped the gun on the pile.

"And its life had just begun," he whispered to himself.

He turned around and saw Connor on the doorsteps. His eyes were filled with tears. Travis saw his little brother, the same little boy who had dreamed of making the perfect snowman with him. He made a big mistake.

"Connor, oh!" he bolted after Connor who ran out the door, "I didn't mean to make you cry!"

But it was too late. Connor was nowhere to be found. He felt another breeze, but instead of feeling relaxed, it sent shivers down his spine and he felt his body ache. He glanced at his new spaceship. He fisted his hands and walked over towards it. As he slowly mounted the steps, he looked at the Hermes cabin. He saw a little Hermes kid, staring up at him, hugging his teddy bear tightly.

"If I'm not back again this time tomorrow," Travis told him, "tell everyone to just carry on like nothing ever happened."

He stepped into the spaceship and shut the door. "Goodbye everybody…" he whispered. He found a spacesuit in one of the closets and put it on.

He pressed a button and the spaceship began to take off. He looked down at Camp Half-Blood and pursed his lips. Then he looked straight ahead.

"It's time to face… my father," he said. He heard his father had been staying at the moon for a while, in an attempt for a vacation from his endless duties on earth and Olympus. He was going to find him… he was going to find out the truth.

Why exactly? He had no idea.

When he stepped out of his spaceship and took his first gravity-less leaps on the moon shouting, "That's one step for man," as he took his first step, "one GIANT leap for Travis Stoll!"

He skipped on the earth's surface when he was stopped by giant running shoes. He looked up and saw Mr. D staring down at him. Travis gawked and attempted to make a run for it, but Mr. D had caught him. He reached down and plucked Travis' helmet right off, chuckling as he did so.

"I don't want to die!" Travis shouted, his voice hollow and breathless as space began to take him.

"I wish you hadn't been born at all!" Mr. D shouted as he stomped away.

Travis knelt down on the floor, his hand grasped on his neck as he begged for air. He saw a silhouette of a man slowly skipping towards him, banging his hands on a tambourine.

"No way," Travis gaped at the man who stood before him. It was Freddy Mercury, son of Hermes.

Freddy grabbed Travis by the hand and gripped it firmly. He started to lead Travis. As he bashed the tambourine, they danced the Fandango.

Freddy spun him, and for a while he was able to glance at the Earth he had left behind, during his dying moments… dancing. Clouds surrounded the Earth, and he saw a small figure perched on one of them, lightning emanating from this tiny speck. He would have been scared, had he not been dying at that very moment.

He thought to himself, spare me my life from this monstrosity, as he danced with Freddy, who didn't seem to notice how purple Travis' face had gotten.

"L-let me go," Travis begged.

"I will not let you go!" Freddy spun him.

Travis spun back towards him, "l-l-let me go!"

"I will not let you go!" Freddy shouted at him once more.

"Mamma mia, please just let me go!" Travis begged as Freddy spun him one more time. He felt the world spinning less and less around him as he floated. He felt himself, and the world, slowly fading, until it was just black.

"BABY DON'T DO THIS TO ME, I JUST GOTTA GO!" Travis shouted as he sat up from his bed. He looked around. The Hermes cabin was just the way it was yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that…

"It was just a dream, it was just a dream," Travis whispered to himself over and over again. "Just a bad, bad dream… I was never outer-spaced, I didn't see Freddy Mercury, it was just a dream, aaaaall just a dream…"

He looked over to Connor. He was lying down on the floor, asleep, crumpled pieces of paper surrounding him. Travis walked over to him and nudged him.

"Connor! Connor!" he whispered. Connor grumbled and turned to his side. Travis stifled a laugh when he saw a piece of paper was stuck on Connor's face because of his drool.

Connor's mouth slowly formed into a smile and he gave out a sort of laugh as he slept.

"I wonder what Connor's dreaming about," Travis wondered.

Connor was sitting on a throne in a big room with marble walls and statues of him embedded with gold aligned beside the red velvet rug that lead from the main doors to his throne. He wore a big crown on his head and red colored robes. He was surrounded by all of the goddesses and female demigod children, fanning him, fawning over him, complimenting him.

He laughed as he watched his father, Hermes, and the rest of the gods, perform for him, looking as ridiculous as possible to entertain 'his highness'.

When they finished, Connor clapped his hands together.

"Bring in the royal pie!" he shouted in the bossiest way possible.

The big doors creaked and Travis appeared, wearing a jester's outfit, bringing in a big pie. As he reached about a foot away from Connor, he bowed.

"Your highness."

He walked over to Connor and held up the pie.

"Now Travis, feed me!"

Travis walked up the steps to Connor's throne. Connor opened his mouth. Travis smirked then slammed the pie on Connor's face.

"Not even in your dreams bro," Travis laughed as he jumped from the throne and left the room.

Connor felt a cold breeze as the pie slid down his face and onto his lap. His jaw had dropped and the females around him were stifling their laughter.

Any way the wind blows…


REVIEW!

I got this random idea while listening to Kiss N Tell by Ke$ha over and over again [ I also, apparently, can`t write a S T O L L chapter without listening to this song ]. the song I used for the songfic, obviously, was Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen [ which by the way I DO NOT OWN! ], so if you spot some of the lyrics there, then you`re awesome! ;] tell me what you think of my first ever attempt songfic! didya like it? hehehe.

oh and for those who are keeping track, Travis & Connor have now been: grounded, watered, AND outer-spaced. should they try to be sky-ed next?

I placed a bit of Tratie in this fic, juuust a lil bit. kind of like, a taste of the Tratie that`s going to come sooner or later P:

ideas for chapters are still very much welcome! I have a list of ideas, and it`d be cool if you guys helped me add to it ;] lol.
