James woke up at night. He heard elves singing songs and talking to each other. James got out of bed, changed into his regular clothes, and exited the tree. He walked to the cliff, where Jennie had kissed him. There he saw Katie, looking up at the stars.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" James asked. Katie looked behind her and saw James.
"Yes, very beautiful," Katie replied with a smile. "What brings you here?"
"I like to look at the stars at night," James answered. James walked over next to Katie and lied down.
"The stars in Mirkwood are the most beautiful stars I ever seen," Katie said, lying down next to James. Then, James stared at Katie. She's so beautiful. James thought. Wait, what am I thinking? I don't like Katie. Katie also stared at James.
"James, don't stare at me like that!" Katie giggled.
"Oh, sorry," James said, looking away. You love her don't you? A voice said in James' mind. Aphrodite, please don't say that. James said in his mind. Aphrodite giggled in his head. Oh well, I have to go now. Have fun. Aphrodite said. Then, Katie and James stared at each other again. There faces were getting closer and closer. Then, they kissed each other. But then, while they were kissing, they heard loud shouts. But the shouts were happy shouts. And they weren't elves shouting.
"Aragorn and Gimli must be here now," James said, getting up. "I have to see them.
"Oh James, can't you see them later?" Katie asked, grabbing his shirt sleeve.
"I'm sorry, but I must speak with them," James said. Katie sighed and let go of James' sleeve. James ran down the cliff and to the borders of Mirkwood. There, he saw Aragorn with a huge army. He also saw Gimli with an army of dwarves.
"I want some food!" Gimli shouted. "I traveled a long way to get here!"
"Aragorn!" James shouted. Aragorn spotted James and ran over to talk to him.
"How are you, good friend?" Aragorn asked.
"Fine, how are you?" James asked.
"I am fine. Do you know where Legolas is?" Aragorn replied.
"He is in a tent right now. Follow me," James answered. James walked away with Aragorn behind him. They arrived at Legolas' tent after a couple of minutes. They both entered the tent.
"Legolas, Aragorn wishes to speak with you," James said, trying to speak like an elf.
"James, you still need practice," Legolas chuckled. "Ah, hello Aragorn. James, can you leave, please?"
"Sure," James said, walking out of the tent. When he did, he saw Jennie walking by.
"Uh… Jennie, can I talk to you?" James asked awkwardly. Jennie took one glance at James and walked away. James sighed and walked back to the cliff. Katie was still there, looking at the stars. Katie heard James' footsteps and looked behind her.
"Oh, hi James." Katie said. Katie noticed James was looking a bit sad.
"James, what's wrong?" Katie asked.
"Jennie won't talk to me," James sighed.
"Why, what did you two do?" Katie asked.
"Well… you won't like it. She… she kissed me. But I said I didn't like her," James muttered.
"Oh, well. Now where were we?" Katie said, walking closer to James. Then, she kissed James passionately. She wrapped her arms around James and so did James. Finally, they stopped kissing. Wait, what was I doing? I don't like Katie. James thought. Why does Aphrodite have to do this? Oh well, it doesn't matter, it's time for dinner.
"Well, it's time for dinner," James said. James grabbed Katie's hand and walked towards the big tent. They entered the tent and saw many people in it.
"Katie, you have to sit at your cabin table," James said, when she sat at the table that said 'Apollo Cabin'.
"Oh, I forgot," Katie said. She walked towards her table and sat down next to Annabeth. James sat down next to Michael Yew.
"Hello, Michael," James greeted.
"Hello!" Michael said happily. "What gifts did you get from Dad?"
"I got the Dragon Dagger, a new bow, new arrows, and a Sun Arrow," James answered.
"Aww, I didn't get any yet," Michael complained.
"Oh, well. Maybe you will get a nice present later," James assured him. Then, the food came. James went to the fire and offered a portion of his favorite food. He prayed, Apollo, please give Michael a present. Then, James sat down again. When Michael sat down, James said, "You should thank me."
"Why?" Michael asked curiously.
"You'll see later on," James replied. Then, James started wolfing down all if his favorite foods. He slowly ate the vegetables, though. Finally, the feast ended. James walked back to his tree and sat down on his bed. Aphrodite, please don't do this to me. Pick someone else. James thought. But you two are so cute! Aphrodite said in James' mind. Well, I have to go now; Apollo doesn't like me in your mind. Right after Aphrodite left, James fell asleep.
