Thanks to the people who reviewed the last chapter: FlyingFun, Community Fan, deathoughtkid and Posidion'sDaughter
Just a quick note: Grover isn't in this story as he is recruiting demigod's like you and I in this story. Please ignore the fact that I mentioned Grover and Silena in a previous chapters. Thanks!
Travis's POV
With a smile from ear-to-ear, I brought Katie along to the dance floor. Who would have thought? A son of Hermes and a daughter of Demeter dancing together. Smiling and being happy? Obviously Connor thought so, because as soon as we started to the dance floor a slow song came on.
I glanced over Katie's shoulder and saw Connor grinning to me. My hand was on Katie's waist and my eyes were glued to hers. We swayed to the music and I stepped on her foot. Luckily, instead of running off like most girls did to Connor, she just laughed it off. What a girl, I thought to myself.
During the song, I couldn't think straight because, well, Katie. She truly was the most beautiful girl at this camp. If anything, I threw this party to impress her. But of course, that's just between you and me.
The song was ending and I briefly remembered my plan for Percy and Annabeth. It was also the most romantic spot on Camp Half-blood, in my opinion anyway. Why? It had the view of the Demeter cabin, and the beach and all the other stuff.
"Hey Katie, want to see something special?" I whispered in her ear and I swore I saw her shiver. I know that I did when she replied with a soft, sweet sure.
I took her hand and we left the party unnoticed. We were jogging around the outside of the Big House where there was a bunch of bricks sticking out leading to the roof. I didn't even tell Connor the supplies for the next part of the night were up here. I just said leave it to me.
"Travis, where are we going?" I could here her anxiety in her voice.
"Up here, I'd better go first. I want you to get a good view of my backside." I winked at her as I stepped on the first brick. I soon added, "But please be careful, I don't want you to slip. You might want to take the heels off."
She followed my advice and soon climbed after me. We reached the top of the roof and I saw Katie's eyes widen in admiration. I decorated the roof with all different types of flowers. Don't ask how I got them though… I always knew one day I'd bring her up here.
"Travis, this is-"
But, she didn't end the sentence with words. She just ended it with a kiss on the lips.
I would have taken the kiss any day as opposed to the words. Her lips were bliss and as fragile as a flower. Even though the kiss was short, the memory would last forever.
"I think it's time to cut Percy and Annabeth some slack. Considering this is one of the best night's of my life, I should make it one of theirs' as well. Want to see what I have in stock?"
She just replied with a simple smile and a nod. She obviously had no idea how much she affected me.
I went over to my tool box and sat down. All I had to do was press one button.
"Here. Katie, you do the honours."
Katie came and sat down next to me, once again overlooking the scenery. I wrapped my hand around her shoulder and gave her a peck on the cheek. She looked into my eyes but soon tore away.
"What does the button do anyway?" She asked.
Her voice wavering at the question, almost nervous but excited, just as a little kid would be when there was a huge button in front of them that was forbidden to touch.
"You'll see."
And she pressed it. Dried ice blew out on the dance-floor where Percy and Annabeth were now staring around. People steered clear so that Percy and Annabeth had the whole floor to themselves.
While this was happening on the dance floor, the same was happening to Travis and Katie on the roof. But instead of dry ice, little crystal's and snowflakes illuminated on the flowers, leaving Travis and Katie alone dancing on the rooftop of the Big House.
Annabeth's POV
No matter how this might sound to you, I actually had tears pricking at the ends of my eyes. Yes – the brave, Annabeth Chase, is nearly crying? It was just the build up from the past couple days – the prophecy, seeing Thalia, this possibly being my last time here with all of my friends, the dream and being here with Percy dancing with dried ice making it romantic. I knew that the Stoll's had one good thing up their sleeves.
But, enough thinking for now. This moment was just about Percy and I. He was still dancing along with me, staring into my eyes. He knew me too well about what I was thinking before. Well, most of it anyway.
"Remember Annabeth, no matter what, I will always be there for you. I promise."
With that we danced in silence, just staring at each other. Well, until Connor decided to jump onto the table and blast a few more party songs out. I laughed and forgot about all my worries as Percy, Thalia, Nico and a bunch of other people came and partied with me. I really have to thank Travis and Connor later for making this night memorable for me.
Well until we had to clean up at the end, anyway. But the music was still going while we all helped clean up. After the party and the clean-up, I returned to my cabin, not even thinking a bad thought about what's to come. I just thought of all the great memories that have gone and will come in Verona.
That's the end of that chapter…
Sorry if it was a bit too fluffy for some of the readers out reading this. I just needed to sum up this chapter. Don't worry, in the future their will be more action and, well, still more lovey-dovey stuff. But it get's wayyy more interesting with a few trick's up my (and FlyingFun's) sleeve :)
So tomorrow they all leave for Verona! Hope you liked this chapter!
