A/N: Hey guys, wow. Three chapters in three dayS? That's a record! Just so you know this one was typed up on my Iphone, so I'm sorry if there are mistakes!

Idiot

Travis's POV

If there was one thing I DIDN'T understand about Connor, it would be the fact that he did NOT want to prank someone. Here at half-blood, we've pranked practically everyone, (except for Chiron, but we didn't want to land ourselves in trouble, so we didn't count him.) I guess I should have said we pranked every demigod, (and Mr. D, and the other creatures,) except for one. The name escapes me, but I'd recognize this person anywhere.

This demigod was new this summer. She was rescued by Piper and Annabeth. This girl (not in my opinion,) may not be as pretty as the other girls at camp- don't think I judge by looks! I don't! Really I'm just restating what other demigods say about her. I just want to say that I think it's mean. Anyway, I was going to say that she was one of the friendliest people around. I never understood why no one tried to be friends with her. Sure, she wasn't claimed yet, but that was no excuse. So, I suggested to Connor that we become her friends. He said yes to that, but as soon as I said we should prank her- he said no. What was up with that? He always said yes to a prank. This was just weird. I asked Katie about it, but she just giggled and said she wasn't sure. Girls. Ugh. I'll never understand them.

"Hey, is it ready?"asked Connor. We were setting up a prank for Leo. It was going to be great! For us. "Yup! Man I can't wait to see the look on his face!" All of Leo's precious babies (his tools) were about to be melted. This one may sound mean, but if you want someone to blame, blame Leo himself. He practically suggested it to us even if he was being sarcastic! He should have known better.

Just then, from our hiding spot on top of the roof of the forge, I saw her. "So... If we WERE to prank her-" I started, but I got cut off.

"But we're not going to." Connor said seriously. This was the only time he was ever serious (unless it involved a funeral.) I didn't know why he was like that when it came to her. "Okay, tell me. Why her? We've pranked everyone at this camp- but her." I said. Connor hesitated. He never hesitated around me. This was weird. "She doesn't deserve it." He said quietly. I gave him a look which he ignored.

"Dude, half the people here don't deserve it. That's no excuse. Why can't we prank her? We've always pranked the new comers, it's our way of welcoming them. But why have we not pranked her yet?" I asked again. I had a feeling that Connor was hiding something from me. But I didn't know what. Sadly my questions went unanswered as Leo walked into the forge. Time to prank him.

We dropped the water ballon filled with the metal melting liquid. This was going to be good. We laughed as Leo repeatedly said no. "STOLLS!" he shouted angrily. That was our cue to leave. We managed to sneak away unnoticed like we usually did.

But we didn't go as unnoticed as I thought. I looked at my brother who was looking at- her. She was sitting under an apple tree sketching. She must have noticed us when Leo shouted. For a little guy, he had a pretty loud voice. The girl gave us a smirk and shook her head. I think she even laughed, but it was too quiet to hear. That was another thing about her. She was so quiet; rarely ever spoke. On another note, whenever she was around, she usually spotted us pranking people. I never knew how she did it. We never got caught until the prank was pulled. Hm... She's more mysterious than I thought. A fact which just made me want to prank her more.

"No." Connor suddenly said. I sighed.

"Why not!" It came out more whiny than i meant it to be. But i didn't care. What was so important about her that made her unprankable? Wait. Is that a word? Oh forget it. "Tell me right now why you never want to prank her." I said quietly. The girl was still in ear shot, and I didn't want her to overhear us.

"Travis just- just let it go." He said. What? That's it? Connor wasn't going to get away that easily. If he wasn't going to tell me, then our siblings will. I had to find Luke. He might know something.

Later that evening, I couldn't find Connor so I went to find Luke. Hey, it was the perfect chance. I found him easily near the hand-to-hand combat training area. "Luke! Hey! Can i talk to you?" I asked.

"Sure little bro. What's up?" said Luke.

"Well, okay. Connor and i are known for pranking people. We're not known for, you know, NOT pranking people." I said. I wasn't sure how to word it. But I thought it came out alright. Luke chuckled. He understood. "What's the trouble then? Someone think you guys are laid back?" He asked. Okay, so he didn't get it. Maybe not a lot of people know. I sighed. "Well, no not exactly. See, you know that new girl, what's her name?" I asked. Luke thought for a moment.

"Oh yeah. The only one who hasn't been claimed since Percy's wish because the circle needs fixing and the gods are busy. Hm. Almost like the old days huh? Well, what about Cleo?" said Luke.

"Cleo! That was it! Uh right. Connor never wants to prank her, and he'll never tell me why." I explained. Luke laughed. Huh. That's weird. That's just what Katie did. Hm... "Sorry man, i don't know what to tell ya." He said. Huh. Also similar to what Katie said. Strange. I had the feeling that they knew something I didn't. With that answer, I went to go soy on Connor because i had no idea where he went.

After hours of searching, i finally found him. Turned out he was by the lake... gazing at something. He was sitting behind a bush oddly enough, so he looked like he was hiding. He looked absolutely calm though. So, curious, I hid behind a tree and spied on him. I tried to get a look at what was making him so calm. I didn't expect to see what I saw though.

Connor was staring at Cleo. She was just sitting under a near by tree with her sketch book in her hands and her eyes closed. I'll admit it- she does have this calming affect. Before I too got lost in the calmness, I looked back at Connor. He just seemed so relaxed. Maybe this was why he didn't want to prank her. Maybe he thought that a prank would take the calmness away. It was a theory anyway.

"You know, two isn't a crowd Stoll." Cleo's voice made me freeze. Did she know I was here? But then I looked at Connor. His face was red. Oh, doi, she must have noticed him. I looked back at Cleo. Yup, she was looking at Connor who had now stood up. He was obviously feeling embarrassed. "Uh- I-I was just..." Started Connor, but no words came. I looked back at Cleo. She only smiled kindly. Hm, I never noticed how her eyes lit up when she smiled. It sure added to the calming effect. I could just feel a my nerves melt away. Wait. I wasn't nervous. Oh! This was what Connor was feeling. Duh!

"Come on, I don't bite." Said Cleo. She giggled a bit when she spoke. Her voice was so soft and welcoming. It almost prompted me to join them. But of course, I didn't want to get caught, so I stayed put. it was then when I was really confused as to why no one tried to be her friend. She was so... sweet. Connor shyly made his way over to her and sat down under the tree.

"I'm Cleo Stevens." Said Cleo.

"Uh, Connor Stoll." The two shook hands. I instantly took notice if Connor's weird reaction. His face became a little red, and his heart beat quickened. That was just... Weird. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Luke- you scared me half to death!" I whispered. He put his hands up in defence.

"Sorry, didn't mean to. But uh, you don't get it, do you?" He whispered back. He gestured towards Connor and Cleo. Connor was a lot more relaxed, and was now having a conversation with Cleo. Connor just seemed so... Happy. I've never seen him like this before. "Get what?" I asked.

"Ugh, you really are an idiot aren't you?" Katie's voice nearly made me give away my hiding spot. "Damn it Katie, what- what are you doing here?" I asked. I still had no idea what they were talking about. Katie smirked. "I was just spying on Luke who was spying on you, while you were spying on Connor while he was spying on Cleo until he got caught." she said casually. "But you really don't know, do you?" That just got me confused. I sighed.

"What? What don't I know?" I asked. I was tired of not knowing. Katie and Luke glanced at each other as if they were debating whether or not to tell. Damn it, just say it! Just then someone new appeared.

"Oh, Aphrodite, hello." Said Luke. I stared. Aphrodite? What the he- then it hit me like a ton of bricks.

My twin brother Connor Stoll had a crush on Cleo Stevens. It all made sense! That was why he didn't want to prank her! He likes her! Wow. I would have thought that he would be the same as me, and just prank them numerous of times, but nope. I guess he just doesn't want to risk losing the chance of them being together, that makes sense. It definitely sounds like Connor. The goddess of love smiled. "He gets it now!" she squealed. I rolled my eyes. Ugh. Girls. She looked at my brother. "Oh! He's so sweet to her! Just as cute as my Piper and Jason! I can't believe I have to go. I could just watch them all day!" with a sigh, she disappeared.

"Well, see ya little bro." said Luke. He and Katie began to leave.

"Guys are idiots." said Katie.

"Yeah- HEY!" said Luke. I almost laughed, but then I remembered that I was in a hiding spot. I got up quietly. I decided to leave my brother and his first crush alone. Maybe once we get to know her better we can prank her.

"Guys, wait up!" I quietly called as I ran after the two. I'll definitely question Connor later though...

A/N: yay! So I may or may not do a this one again in Connor's Pov.

R&R please! :D
