Again, i DONT own COTT, and PLEASE review!
"Theresa, please! Archie doesn't like me anymore than a friend!" Atlanta insisted tiredly as she released an arrow that sped through the air and hit the bulls eye.
"That is so not true Atlanta!" Theresa contradicted as she leaned against a pillar and watched as Atlanta prepared to release another arrow.
"Really? If he did like me more than that, then why does he always argue with me?" Atlanta asked matter-of-factly as she released another arrow that hit the bulls eye as well.
"hmm.. Maybe I should change my weapon.." Atlanta remarked as she picked up another arrow.
"Haven't you ever heard of something called "lover's quarrel"?" Theresa asked as she spun her nun-chucks.
"Don't be ridiculous Theresa," Atlanta scoffed, as she adjusted her finger guards and prepared to shoot another arrow.
"Believe me Atlanta, Archie does like you," Theresa repeated, trying to convince her stubborn friend.
"Yes. He likes me as a friend," Atlanta repeated.
"You know that's not what I mean Atlanta! Like the incident with Pan! He was so jealous and worried! Then there was that time with the gorgons; he was the one to help you out of the cave (that's true!)," Theresa stated, counting the points off her finger.
"Aw please Theresa. He was only jealous because he had no one to compare battle scars with. Oh, and he only helped me up because he was the nearest to me. He would have done that for anyone else," she said, picking another bow from Artemis's extensive selection.
"Okay, then how about the time when he helped you out of the portal of the "crossroads", oh and the incident with the Minotaur? He was so worried and all, he didn't even want to leave without you!" Theresa added as Atlanta released an arrow that almost missed the bulls eye.
"Again, Theresa, he would have helped anybody; and don't tell me that you weren't equally worried about me," Atlanta teased as she released another arrow and smiled in satisfaction as it hit the bulls eye.
"Oh really Atlanta, do you have to be so stubborn? Fine, then explain why Jay said that he was planning to ask you out before you met Pan," Theresa challenged.
Atlanta just sighed as she prepared to release yet another arrow.
"Theresa, I'm not being stubborn! I'm just being realistic! And besides, it's normal for him to ask me to accompany him to some comic book fair or something, "Atlanta replied, getting tired of Theresa's persistence.
"You know that's not what he meant Atlanta, he was planning to ask you on a date!" Theresa chided.
Atlanta sighed. "If he is as smitten over me as you think he is, then why did he fall for Medelia? And that girl that Odie bumped into?" she pointed out.
"Well you have to admit that they're pretty,"
"You see Theresa! If he did like me, he wouldn't have fallen for them!" Atlanta argued, turning to face Theresa.
"You can't blame him for being… well… a little distracted… after all, you're giving him the impression that he has no chance with you," Theresa argued.
Atlanta let out a sigh. "You're not going to give up easily are you?"
"That's for sure," Theresa said with a grin.
"Alright, we'll continue this afterwards ok!" Atlanta agreed reluctantly.
"Fine," Theresa agreed.
"Now go! Before Artemis arrives!" Atlanta said, pushing Theresa out of the archery range.
Yes, I know, I most of my stories, Theresa plays matchmaker. But seriously, she's the only other girl. So if she can't make Atlanta realize Archie's affection, who can?
