Travis

"This is stupid." Travis muttered to his brother.

"It'll work fine bro, don't worry." Connor stated to his brother with a grin.

Connor's so stupid Travis thought. Connor's big plan to help his brother plan a date, was to ask Travis' ex-girlfriend Drew for advice on his date. If this failed he'd have a few choice words for his brother. As they approached the cabin, they were met with the thick fog of designer perfume that surrounded the enlarged barbie house. Connor then knocked on the door, immediately greeted by a frowning Drew.

"What do you want?" She spat with distaste.

Connor then elbowed his brother to go on with the question.

"Oh..ugh...I..I was w-wondering if you could give me some advice on my date with Gardner.

The plan actually went better than he envisioned. All he got for the dumb question was a slap to the face. He was expecting at least a punch to the throat. The bad part was that he still didn't have anything planned for his date. With all his hope declining he was suddenly called by a small brunette with green eyes.

"Psst! Psst!" It was Miranda, Katies sister.

Connor's eyes immediately went big. "Hey,who are you?" He asked with a dumb smile on his face.

"Uh...Miranda. Anyway, I heard you were having trouble planning your date with my sister."She said.

"Your pretty." Connor interrupted, making himself look like a total fool.

"Shut up Connor. Yeah I was. Do you have any idea what she likes?" He asked desperate.

"Yeah I do." she responded. "She likes flowers. Roses in particularly. She loves picnics, and PB&J' ! She also likes red velvet cupcakes." She stated finally finishing.

"Okay." Travis responded while writing all she said down on his arm.

"Hey, do you want to go to the fireworks with me?" Connor asked eagerly, interupting once again.

"Uh..sure." Miranda replied with a chuckle."Anyway, see ya boys. And pick me up at eight Connor." She added with a wink.

Travis just barely noticing the exchange between the two as flabbergasted.

"Hey Trav, look. I got a date to the fireworks. It didn't even take me three years like it did for you to ask Katie. Call me, 'The Smooth Connor Stoll.' " Connor snarked with a grin.

"Shut up, Connor." Travis yelled, his face red with anger.

Katie

Katie was relaxing on her bed, reading a gardening book, when her sister came in the cabin smiling to herself.

"Hey, Katie." Miranda greeted.

"Hi, Miranda" Katie replied casually. "So...did anything exciting happen to you?" Katie questioned.

"What'd make you say that." Miranda questioned back.

"Nothing. Just the dopey smile you have on right now." Katie retorted with a smile of her own brewing on her face. "Could it be a guy?" Katie asked.

"How'd you know?" Miranda urged, obviously shocked.

"C'mon I'm your big sis. I'm supposed to know these things...So who is it?"

"Connor Stoll." she replied trying to contain her excitement.

"Connor Stoll? As in, the guy I likes Brother?"

"Yup."

"Huh." Katie muttered to herself quietly. " Did he ask you out?"

"Yeah!" Miranda giggled. " To the fireworks." She added.

"What! It took Travis THREE YEARS to ask me out." She replied with anger.

"Hahaha. Smooth Travis. Smooth." Miranda chuckled.

A/U: Like I've said before, this is just a test run story. I wanted to see how long it takes me to write, and how the site works. I'll write one more chapter, then I'm gonna write an original story. It will be based in the Percy Jackson world, but with original characters. I promise it will be good. Please review. Share story with your friends. Thanks.
