Thank you to the two people that submitted an OC!

I am forever in your debt

Nope. Still don't own PJO or anything else you recognize

Happy make up your mind day!

And, you know, Christmas and Chanukah

I put their oufits on polyvore if anybody cares, it's the last link (The link is broken though, so it's not really a link.)

FYI: Katie is 17, Kia is 17(almost, her b-day is in about four days), Faith is 16, Megan is 16, Connor is 16, Travis is 18

I woke up the next day in the twin bed on the left side of the room confused. I couldn't like him. Could I? No, there was too much history. There was no way that I could like him. Clearing my head of all things Stoll related I got up. I looked out of my window at the beautiful landscape. A thin coating of snow covered most of the grass; it looked like a scene from a picture book. I tore myself away from the window and started to get ready for the day. I woke up Kia who was sleeping in the other twin bed, and then I moved onto Megan and Faith in the other room. after I woke them all up I started to get dressed. I put on a loose fitting green shirt and some jeans. I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth.

"Katie you coming?" Megan called.

"Connor is probably already down there," Kia added.

"Calm down I'm coming," I yelled back. As I was leaving the room I grabbed a ponytail holder, but decided against putting my hair up. As it turns out, Kia was right. We walked into the breakfast place and saw the Stolls sitting at a mostly empty table. I walked over and Travis patted the seat next to him with a hopeful look on his face. Rolling my eyes, I sat down next to him. Kia sat down next to Connor and Faith and Megan sat across from them.

"Hey Gardner, ready to ski?"

"No. I'm just here in Key Stone for the shopping," I replied, my tone practically oozing sarcasm.

"'Cause I am. Every year my mom took me and Connor skiing over presidents day weekend, but the hills in New York are nothing compared to the mountains here!" (a/n I have no idea where Travis is supposed to be from, so let's just say New York 'kay? Also, yes there is skiing in New York.) He got so excited when he talked about skiing; it was kind of cute, in like a puppy dog kind of way though. Not a boyfriend kind of way. No, absolutely not. Why on earth would I think that?

"So will you?"

"What?" I'd been so absorbed in my thoughts that I hadn't even heard Travis start talking. "Sorry I wasn't listening."

"Got lost in my eyes? Don't worry, I'm used to it." I scowled. "Anyway, I was wondering if you wanted to race when we got to the trails."

"You might be a great skier, but I grew up in Georgia. (a/n once again, no idea where she's actually from.) There's no skiing in Georgia, at least where I lived."

"Then I'll just have to teach you, won't I?"

"I suppose you will, but first we should eat something." I went over to the buffet area and got a bowlful of scrambled eggs and cereal, mostly cereal. Travis saw the cereal and laughed.

"What?" I asked him.

"Cereal."

"Your point?" I once again asked, giving him my shut-up-or-I'll-make-you-shut-up glare. Needless to say, he shut up.

"Hey Katie," Kia called from across the big round table. "I was thinking that maybe for my birthday we could go to that restaurant you were telling us about. Maybe Travis and Connor could come."

"Yeah sure, that sounds like fun."

"What restaurant?" Travis asked.

"Oh, it's this fondue place that I read about online. It got amazing reviews. It's up on this secluded mountain top so you have to take a gondola to get there. Did I mention that they have forty-two types of Cheese fondue? Along with thirteen different chocolate fondues?"

"Yep, we're coming," Connor said quickly. I could almost see him drooling at the thought of chocolate fondue.

************************Page Break************************************

I put on my skis and started to skate the way Travis had attempted to teach me. it took about ten seconds for me to fall over. Luckily, Travis was there to catch me. Wait…did I just think that it was lucky that Travis was there to catch me? This mountain air really must be messing with my brain. After about a half an hour, he deemed me ready for the bunny hill. I mastered the bunny hill an about ten minutes. Finally, we were ready to hit the top of the mountain. Connor and Kia were both great skiers, it was obvious that they were both only still down here because of us. Faith was having an even harder time than I was, so we found an instructor, Joshua, to help her out.

After tackling monsters, you'd think that a little something small like getting off of the chairlift wouldn't scare me, but it did. The thought of it scared me so much that I didn't even notice how small the seats were. Travis had the man slow it down a little bit for me so that I was able to make it. Kia and Connor had taken the one before us, we probably wouldn't see them again until dinner. The chair came and, to my surprise and delight, I sat down at exactly the right time. The chair was really small, I could feel Travis's thigh pressed up against mine and I must say, the feeling wasn't entirely unpleasant. I made the mistake of looking down.

"Agh!" I cried out in shock.

"Katie! Katie! What's wrong?" I pointed down. "You can't really be scared of that?" I nodded my head yes. "Katie, you've killed monsters. You have powers. And besides, you have me." I looked in his eyes, and surprisingly I was reassured. I knew he wouldn't let me fall.

Sorry if that was a tad short, I just needed to end it there. Did you like it? Do you have constructive criticism? Do you know where Katie and Travis are actually from? Want to submit a character (I can't guarantee it getting in, but I'll try my hardest )? Just want to say hi?
