Aloha! I bring you chapter 6! I hope you enjoy it. I'm a little disappointed; this story isn't as popular as I thought it'd be. But that's cool; I'm having fun writing it.
Anyways, so today I finished rereading the Percy Jackson series (starting the Heroes of Olympus tomorrow) and It's amazing how much more meaning you get out of some books the 5000th time you've read them (exaggeration? Just a bit). Eh, anyways, while reading them; I had an idea for another story. I'm going to put it up soon, so be on the look out!
And sorry, this chappy isn't really about while they're in the kitchen, and I doubt the next few will be either.
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Heroes of Olympus.
Katie was completely exhausted. Today had just been too much for her to handle.
First, she and her cabin had training with the Ares cabin (never a good idea, by the way). Two of her cabin mates ended up in the infirmity. Katie spent an hour looking for her gardening gloves. They were green with her name written in pink on them. Yeah, she asked Travis if he took them for the whole prank war thing they had going on, but he said no. Yeah, yeah; how can you trust a Stoll? Let's just say Katie's really good with telling if Travis is lying (okay, so she got Piper to charmspeak an answer out of him). And apparently, he didn't steal them.
The only part of her day that wasn't tiring was doing the dishes with Travis(surprisingly). Travis had been in "deep important thought" the entire time (or at least, that's what Travis had said when she asked him), so they just washed the dishes in silence. That didn't really comfort Katie though; that meant he was planning for the prank war. That wasn't good, especially since she didn't have any ideas herself. But still, it was nice that she didn't get drenched or asked an awkward question or left to do all the dishes herself.
So, Katie headed towards the Demeter cabin, dragging her feet slightly as she walked. She decided to skip the sing-along, and just go to bed. Some sleep would do her good.
Once in her cabin, she clumsily got ready for bed and then crawled in. She was so tired; it took her a minute or so to realize something was wrong. Her bed was itchy and hurt slightly laying down... and there was this crunching noise. She lifted back the covers. The bed was filled with cereal! Several different types, also. There were lucky charms, cheerios, fruitloops, etc.
Katie was furious. She got up and was about to go hunt down a certain son of Hermes when something on her nightstand caught her eye. It was a jug of milk, a spoon, and a note.
On it read one word.
Enjoy.
Katie was about ready to punch something (or strangle a certain someone with some vines, either one, really). She didn't even know when Travis did this. He showed up in the Kitchen early (and this wasn't here when she was in her cabin), and he left after her. But then an idea occurred to her and she smirked.
Oh, it's on. And I know exactly how to get you back, Katie thought.
Travis was looking in the window of the Demeter cabin. No, he wasn't a stalker (though his brother begs to differ); he just wanted to see Katie's reaction. Yeah, he started off small. Filling her bed with cereal. Her mother was obsessed with the stuff, so really Travis was just doing her a favor. Right?
Anyways, he was in one of those positions where he could see inside the cabin perfectly, but if you looked out; you couldn't see him. He watched Katie climb into bed and just lie there.
He waited a minute and she was still just lying there, oblivious to her cereal filled bed.
How could she not notice all the cereal? There was like 10 boxes dumped on her bed.
Then, finally, Katie got up and looked mad. Like really mad. Like I'm going to kill Travis slow and painfully mad. Suddenly, she turned to the nightstand and read the note.
Travis smirked as her face grew angrier. It was a lovely sight, really. Katie's face got all red and looked like she wanted to hit something. Travis almost laughed; he found Katie's reaction so funny. However, he didn't want her hearing him. (And contrary to what Percy thinks, Travis knew how to be sneaky.)
Then she did something he didn't expect. She smirked evilly. Travis didn't have to be able to read minds to know what she was thinking.
This prank war was about to get ugly and scary and most definitely entertaining.
Travis wasn't sure whether to be scared or excited. So, of course, he settled for a little bit of both.
So, did you like? Please review and tell me! Thanks.
"And contrary to what Percy thinks, Travis knew how to be sneaky." - That was reference to the Battle of the Labyrinth where Percy said that even though they were sons of Hermes, they were about as stealthy as Water Buffaloes.
Also, Thank you to AwesomeGirl82 for the prank idea! If you have any ideas, leave 'em in a review.
So, bye and until next time, keep reading. (:
