Katie

"I can't believe I liked that jerk," Katie confessed to her younger sister Miranda. Once everything had been going good with Travis and Katie, it immediately fell apart.

"He's just immature,"Miranda offered to her distraught sister.

She has a point, Katie thought. On the other hand though, some of his immature tendencies were the reason why she liked him in the first place. Like the way he doesn't take life so seriously. Sometimes Katie wished she wasn't so uptight all the time.

"I know...it's just that...I thought we were going to become official," Katie pouted.

"You mean boyfriend and girlfriend?" Miranda asked astonished.

"Yeah...," she commented sullenly.

Not in a mood to talk further, Katie walked to the one place in camp she could always think clearly. The strawberry fields.

Lying on the soft soil she gazed up at the sky trying to make out patterns, or images. She laid there for hours as she quietly dozed off to sleep, dreaming sweet dreams.

When she awoke she was bewildered by the face in front of her. The tossed brown hair, mischievous grin, and big brown eyes.

"Hey beautiful," Travis Stoll said with a confident look on his face.

As she saw him her stomach did a flip flop as she then became nervous. Trying to maintain her anger from earlier she replied,"What do you want Stoll," she said trying to keep a stern voice.

Travis, with the confidence gone from his face objected," Katie, I didn't mean what I said back there. I was just trying to protect my little bro, but I know what he did as wrong, and I'm sorry."

"Are you really Travis, or are you sorry like the other eight-hundred times you got caught pranking me."

"I'm sincere this time, I promise," he proclaimed with actual meaning.

"Okay...I believe you.."

"Yes," Travis interrupted with glee.

"But this is your last chance. I mean it," she warned.

"Okay, I promise I will not let you down. Anyway...are we still on to go to the fireworks tomorrow."

"Yeah, but you better be on your A game Stoll," she teased while caressing the side of his face."Pick me up at eight."

She then proceeded to walk away back to her cabin.

Travis

"Yes," he screamed while walking through the dining pavilion."Get some," he added for no apparent reason.

As soon as he said it he wished he hadn't cause as he said it, Percy and Annabeth were in the dining pavilion also; coincidentally they had been sharing a kiss. His comment ended up giving him a dirty look from Percy, and a death glare from Annabeth. He didn't know who he was more afraid of.

After that Travis decided to keep his feelings to himself. He then silently walked to the camp store to go steal something; standard procedure for him when he was bored.

It was dinner time,and Travis was still beaming with joy when a thought about something that troubled him.

"Yeah, but you better be on your A game Stoll," he remembered Katie saying.
Travis was not that bright, so when he knew he was gonna ask Katie to the fireworks he never really envisioned himself getting a yes. He had absolutely nothing planned out for the two. Panick then snuck up on him like Annabeth in her Yankees cap. What was he going to do? The only date he had ever been on was with Drew from the Aphrodite cabin, and he really didn't put that much effort into that date anyway. Drew was hot, but he never deluded himself, and told himself that their relationship would last.

He didn't have the spark with her that he felt with Katie.
Connor then walked by minding his own business when he was ambushed by his brother Travis.

"Hey,IneedhelpplanningmydatewithKatie," he spluttered out in a rush.

"I'm guessing you need help planning your date with Katie," Connor guessed.

"Yes," Travis breathed.

"I know someone who can help you with your little predicament," Connor offered.

"Who," Travis questioned.

"Patience brother,patience," Connor said while calming down Travis."Now...off to the Aphrodite Cabin..."
