Katie Gardner walked out of the tool shed with a watering can off to water her plants when her foot hit a rock and she stumbled, crashing into someone and falling down on top of them. When she opened her eyes she was staring into the face of Travis Stoll, who was trying not to laugh.

"Sorry!" Katie squeaked.

"S'okay." Travis grunted. Katie was studying his hazel brown eyes for a while before he asked "So… are you going to get off me or do you feel comfy where you are?" Katie blushed.

"You know, 'stol' means 'table' in Russian." She told him, contemplating that fact.

"Well I am not a table, last time I checked any way. Unless you want me to be." He said and winked. Katie blushed darker but rolled off of him.

"Get a life Stoll." She told him.

"Well, you know, I was on my way to go get one when you tackled me." He said grinning. "Do you want me that badly Katie?"

Katie was sure she couldn't get any redder. "In your dreams Stoll." She said. She got up and brushed herself off. Travis was still on the ground looking at her expectantly.

"What?" She asked

"I'm waiting for you to help me up." He told her

"And why would I do that?" She asked.

"Because you're the one that tackled me." He explained.

Katie blushed again. "I tripped." She told him but he just shrugged.

"Okay but I still want you to help me up." He said.

She sighed and offered him her hand. He took it and she pulled him up. They kept holding hands for a minute his face only inches from hers and she could feel his chest moving up and down and wondered if his heart was beating as hard as hers was.

"You were right you know." He said quietly.

"About what?" She whispered. He was slowly getting closer but she couldn't tell if she was leaning towards him or if it was the other way around.

"You are in my dreams." Travis said running his hand under her chin, his other one still holding hers.

"I know" she whispered raising her head closer to his. His lips were only inches away from her own and still getting closer. She realized what she had said and tried to regain control of herself but was unsuccessful. But she was saved because Connor walked up at that moment.

"Hey man I thought you were right behind me but-"He stopped when he saw how close they were. He blushed and got an awkward look on his face "Am I interrupting something?" Katie finally pulled her eyes away from Travis and looked at Connor, her hand still gripping Travis's tightly.

"Oh, its, um, its," She stuttered "Fine" she managed a confused look on her face. "Bye Travis." She said quickly, and pulled away. She grabbed her watering can off the ground and ran off to water her plants. That's funny. She thought I didn't even realize I dropped it….

"Dude, did I just interrupt a moment there or something?" Connor asked Travis after Katie had left. Travis blinked like he was trying to think strait.

"I don't know…" He said

"Well come on man we have to go before Clarisse realizes what we did to her spear." Connor said grabbing Travis's wrist and pulling his stunned older brother along.


A few days later…

Katie was at archery class, pulling back an arrow, but she was having trouble focusing. The Demeter cabin had archery with the Hermes cabin today. And that was a problem because she had been trying to avoid the two Stoll brothers since the encounter with Travis the other day.

"Hey" a voice whispered next to her ear. She jumped and her hand slipped letting go of the arrow.

"AAGGH!" Connor screamed as he scrambled back. Katie's arrow had lodged itself into a tree inches from where Connors head had been moments ago. "Why is it always me?!" He cried.

"Sorry!" She shouted to him, and then turned around to see who had made her almost kill Connor and found herself looking into the face of Travis Stoll once again. "Oh, hi" she said in a small voice. "What do you want?" she asked.

"It just looked like you needed some help." He said. "You almost killed my brother with your bad aim."

She was about to tell him that he had made her do that but just sighed. "What do you know about archery? You're no son of Apollo." She said.

"No, but I can hit the target." He said. "Take your stance." Travis instructed. Katie rolled her eyes but notched another arrow and pulled back. "Lower your shoulder." He whispered as put his hand on her shoulder, her skin tingled at his touch but her shoulder lowered. "Relax this hand." He said quietly in her ear, his breath tickled her neck and when he wrapped his hand around the hand she had on the bow her heart fluttered, she was very conscious of the fact that his body was pressed closely to her. "Breathe in." He told her and Katie took a deep breath and let the arrow fly. At the center of the target Katie's arrow sprouted. She turned around to look at Travis.

"Bulls eye." She whispered. They were as close together as they had been the other day before Connor had interrupted.

"Yep." He told her. Katie lifted her head so her lips were even closer to his. She was looking into his hazel eyes again and this time she wasn't trying to control herself. Travis had the feeling that she was talking about more than the arrow and his suspicions were confirmed when she leaned forward closing the space between them. Definitely a Bulls eye.

:T I don't like this one very much. I think it's a bust, I got both of these ideas last night (both being the archery part and the part where she calls him a table) and they were to short separately so I put them together. Thanks for reading, please review and tell me what you think.
