Here's the third chapter, it's not the most exciting, sorry. Thanks to everyone who reviewed!

The next morning at breakfast, Connor seemed distracted.

I tried joking with him about the Katie thing, but he was just so out of it. If you're wondering (Which I'm sure you are), the daughter of Demeter's face was still bright blue. However she had obviously taken a trip to the Aphrodite cabin; she had more cover up on her skin than the make-up company Sephora probably had in stock. I tried mentioning this to Connor but he just gave me a faint smile, his brain obviously somewhere else.

"What's wrong, dude?" I asked, watching him swirl his spoon around in his cereal. "Girl problems?"

He laughed. "Ha! No. Don't worry, you'll see in a few…"

I cocked an eyebrow curiously. What was he hiding?

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Other than his weird attitude the only odd thing that I'd witnessed that morning was him walking alongside Rachel Dare on the way to breakfast. I mean, I'd given him a questioning look (duh), but he'd shaken his head as if to say, 'It's nothing, man don't worry.' But whether Rachel was related or not, something was definitely up.

My curiosity was cured when Chiron made an announcement.

"Children," he began. Campers slowly lowered their voices, curious as to what he would say. "I hope you're enjoying your breakfast, but I need you to listen for just one moment, Connor Stoll, Son of Hermes has an announcement." He motioned to my brother who stood up.

"What's going on?" I asked him in a whisper.

He just smiled and cleared his throat. "Hey guys, just wanted to let you know, I was talking to the lovely Miss. Rachel Dare earlier today," he waved to her and she rolled her eyes, "And she suddenly went all statue like. Luckily, I am used to this – it's a common response from girls when they see me – and did not find it creepy. After she was all pale and stuff, she sprouted a prophecy of some sort. It was like, 'Aphrodite's necklace has been, like, stolen. You must go retrieve it from the spirit of trickery… Yeah!'" He nodded and gave a thumbs up.

A few people snorted.

"So, I was thinking about who I should take with me."

Suddenly, a million hands shot in the air at once. Everyone was anxious to get out of Camp Half-Blood and make a name for themselves – it was natural for us. But Connor shook his head.

"I've already made my decision, so you can put your hands down. Though, it's nice to see how many of you guys want to spend quality time with me."

An Ares girl snorted. "Yeah, that's what it is, Stoll..."

Connor just winked at her. "You know you love me, Sarah!"

"So," said Mr. D, beginning to get agitated, "Who'd you pick, boy? We don't have all day!" He stared longingly at the strawberry fields.

"I chose…" Connor paused for dramatic effect, "My dear brother Travis!"

I smiled just like a movie star (I'd practiced a lot in my mirror) and waved to the campers.

Everybody groaned, but I'm sure they're just jealous.

I sat down again and Connor continued. "The second, and final, person I chose is none other than the wonderful, beautiful, but extremely annoying, Katie Gardner!"

Katie, who had been walking with her plate right behind me, suddenly dropped it. The plate hit the ground with a loud clang and everyone whirled around.

"Me?" she asked in disbelief. "I've never even been on a quest before!"

I smiled, an evil idea hatching in my brain. I swung my legs over the bench of the picnic table, my water glass still in my hands, and slung my arm around a confused looking Katie.

"Looks like we'll be spending some time together, Garner." I said, taking a sip of water.

She pushed my arm off and leaned down to pick up the food that she'd spilled on the ground. "No way, Stoll. I am backing out of this quest the second I get the chance."

I laughed. "I believe it. I totally buy that you're going to spend the entire time I'm on this quest with that little… Dilemma of yours."

I watched her shoulders tense.

"And," I added, smiling. "What if I die on this quest? What the hades will you do if that happens?"

She growled. "You are so unbelievably immature I could easily mistake you for a five year old."

I chuckled. "You're cute. Now, let me help you with that."

I leaned down to pick up her fallen plate, but at the same time tipped my glass so the water fell right on the top of her head. She let out a very unpleasant squeal and people at nearby tables turned to look as the water tricked down her face, leaving behind a very blue wake.

"What's wrong with her face?" someone asked.

Katie's face was steaming. She stood up, dropping all of the food she had picked up. She grabbed a pancake off the ground and chucked it at my face. It hit me right on the nose before falling to the ground, leaving behind the scent of butter and syrup. I watched amusedly as she stormed off, her face still dripping with cover up stained water.

As she turned away, I couldn't help but notice her eyes were a little teary. I felt a shudder of guilt go through me as she ran off behind a cabin, her hands covering her eyes.

Me, Travis Stoll, feeling guilty? Well this is new.
I sighed, the happy smile suddenly gone from my face.
I did not like the feeling of guilt.

Olympus

Aphrodite watched from her living room as Katie ran away crying.

She groaned. Just leave it to Travis to ruin a perfectly good plan. Whatever, she'd find a way to get Katie on that quest; in fact, she already had an idea taking form in her head. Yeah… That one would work. Aphrodite smiled as she watched Travis's facial expression. It had turned all sad and guilty. Aww! Travis felt bad!

Picking up her phone to call Connor, she sighed and sniffled. Travis was just so adorable. He and Katie would be perfect for each other.

She couldn't wait to make it happen.

Yeah, boring chapter, sorry. I had to set it up somehow. Btw, I'm not quite sure how this story's gonna go yet. I wrote it after I read a Tratie fic thinking it would be a one shot. If anyone has ideas they want me to incorporate just send me a PM!

Btw, the quest is supposed to sound lame, it's fake :D
