THERE WILL BE TRAITIE, BELIEVE ME THERE WILL, PLEASE JUST HOLD IN THERE. I have an excuse for not updating for a while. I've been away camping for three weeks, and then I had sort of forgotten the plot (if there was any in the first place). So because of this, you have to read this piece of delightful, yet slightly creepy on Travis' part, fluff.

But first, a disclaimer: Honestly what do you think? NO, SADLY NO. I. DON'T. OWN. THE. CHARACTERS.

A mass of long silky fur leapt at me and pinned me on the ground, licking my face quite enthusiastically and barking as if there was no tomorrow. I knew that bark…

"ARGOS!" My gorgeous dog who I thought had to leave behind at the farm was here! Right here, in my room, licking me so much I wouldn't have to take a shower tonight. I tackled him to the ground and hugged him with my face being nicely cleaned. The hug eventually turned to a belly scratch and his tail dusting my floor, it was wagging so much.

There was a knock on my door; my parents came in with grins on their faces.

"We thought we'd surprise you about Argos here," my dad said, clearing enjoying the sight of my hair plastered to one side.

"I thought we weren't allowed any pets in the building?" I asked.

"Yes, that usually is the case, but seeing that your father knows the tenant, she was lenient enough to bend the rules just for us. Just as long as we didn't try to make a big deal around the rest of the building and kept Argos under control, we could keep him." My mother said beaming at dad. I guessed she loved Argos as much as I did.

I leapt up and gave my parents a huge hug, which they returned. Argos, obviously feeling left out from the group hug nuzzled his way into the middle and demanded to be hugged as well, which of course we did.

Later that night I was reading in my bed, stroking Argos, when a tap came on my window. I ignored it,thinking that it was pigeons or something. Even when I heard "Katie, let me in!" I didn't think anything of it at first.

New York pigeons, I thought, never knew they could talk. Well it's NY, that's not the weirdest thing they have here. I froze. Pigeons don't talk. Even if I they are from New York.

I looked up sharply at my window and saw someone outside standing on the fire escape, waving frantically. I recognized him from school. None other than Travis stood outside my window. I was creeped out a little bit.

"Go away," I said loudly,

Perhaps a little bit too loudly because my dad called out "What was that, Katie?" from the lounge room.

"Nothing," I called back, "Just a fly in my room." I turned back to my window, which still had Travis on the other side, giving me a pleading look. I made shooing gestures with my hands, which only seemed to annoy him.

"If you don't let me in I'll break in," he warned.

Unfortunately, due to my stubborn streak, I stuck my chin up and said "Go ahead. Like you could actually get in. It's locked."

He shrugged like, your fault, and within a few seconds of fiddling around with my window, he managed to slide in up and jump lightly into my room. He turned to me with a triumphant expression on his face, and was met with my school bag thrown at him. It happened to be the closest object near me.

"What was that for?" He demanded he whispered.

"Get the hell out of my room you pervert!" I whispered furiously, grabbing up my softball bat.

His eyes widened fearfully and he backed up with his hands in the air. "Whoa there, sugar! Just let me stay in here until the patrol passes and then I'm outta your hair. Don't get your knickers in a twist, or smash my head open with that extremely dangerous bat you're wielding there."

"What patrol?" I hiss, hefting my weapon higher.

"The Harpies! They're a gang that go round at night and beat up anyone that passes there way! I would be a bloody mess already if I were down there!" He hastily explained.

"And why do you think you won't be a bloody mess soon?" I ask, and he glances fearfully at my bat.

"Look!" He stammers, "There they are, right there."

I edge up warily and peek out the window. Sure enough there was a group of what looked like really old and really ugly grannies with leather jackets that read 'Harpies from Hades'. I scoffed.

"What did you think they would do?" I ask him, "Knit you to death? Make you look at their cats?"

He looked at me, "You'd be surprised," He said grimly.

I stared at him incredulously, but said no more because I heard my dad switch off the TV, yawn and walk into the bathroom.

Travis started to say something, but was silenced by my hand over his mouth. We stayed like that until I heard my parents snoring peacefully in their room. I removed my hand to see a grin on his face. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"What's so funny?" I demand. He gives me a cheeky smile which can only lead to trouble. I looked down. It turns out that Travis, while I was listening intently for sounds of my parents, had wrapped his arms around me. He wiggled his eyebrows at me and I pushed him away, feeling one very nice six pack under his shirt, much to my horror. Hot boys are always the smart arses.

Travis jumped out the window and turned round to say goodbye.

"Thanks for letting me in," he winked, "by the way I like your dog." Argos wagged his tail. I fumed.

Suddenly, something dawned on me. Why did he choose my building to climb up on, and why couldn't he just have stayed on the fire escape?

HE flashed me a smug smirk, knowing I must have just realised how peculiar the circumstances were, then disappeared down the fire escape.

I looked down at Argos. "Some guard dog you are, you didn't even bark!" I sat down on my bed and he jumped up as well, earning my forgiveness by laying down and putting his head and a paw on my leg. I stroked his hair.

By the way, Argos is an actual name of a dog in Greek mythology, cookies to anyone who can tell me from which story.
