"Will you go on a date with me?" Weasley asked the short daughter of Ares in a tentative voice.
Karl ran around the Ares cabin like a harpy with it's wings cut off. She had kicked all of her siblings out so that her and Weasley could have it to themselves.
'Why are my siblings so messy?!" She inwardly thought to herself. She threw Klarisse's spare gear into the closet and slammed the door shut before any of her other siblings junk fell out.
A knock came from the door, and Karl threw it open with a bang.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" She yelled at the timid nymph standing in front of her.
"I-I," Charlotte stammered. "I was just bringing you the picnic basket that you asked for." Karl groaned out as she snatched the basket from outstretched hands.
"I'm sorry, Llama." She said. "But this is my first date! I've been stressing!"
Charlotte sniggered, "I can see that..." Karl's head whipped towards her.
"What?" She asked in a tone that conveyed that Charlotte say nothing. The nymph flushed and quickly complied.
While the Charlotte laid out on a bunk, a group of girls walked into the cabin. Another ginger and her brunette counterpart jumped into the back of the busy daughter of Ares, while two daughters of Aphrodite watched from a safe distance.
"It's your first date!" Alexandra and OJ screamed in unison, causing Joey and Scarlett to start fangirling
"We're so happy for you!" they squealed in (somewhat) unison; Joey said it way faster. Karl's face slowly started to turn red, and the five girls ran out of the cabin. Karl followed them the the cabin's threshold and blocked the entrance.
"I need time to get the cabin ready!" she screamed. "And I can't do it with you four in here! For all I know, he could be arriving any minute!" OJ raised a hand.
"My Bro-Bro is still getting ready," she said carefully. Karl's face was going from red to purple, and Alexandra smacked OJ upside the head. Charlotte was whispering something about not EVER angering a child of Ares.
Karl's voice went unnaturally low, "I. DON'T. CARE! And you will not spy on my date with Weasley!" The small girl turned into the cabin and slammed the door behind her. The five girls looked at each other.
"We'renotseriouslyleaving, arewe? Joey asked. There was a crash, and the girls looked up to see Chloe setting up a video camera at one of the cabin's windows. She looked up and waved at her audience. An evil grin graced Scarlett's features.
"Aw hell nah."
Weasley arrived at the Ares cabin thirty minutes later. The boy stood in front of the door for a few seconds, trying to psych himself up./span
'Calm down Wesley,' he thought to himself. 'This is just a date, a small gathering of two friends that have a mutual liking of each other. No big deal.' The son of Hermes took a deep breath and raised his hand to knock on the door, but it opened before he could.
"Hey!" Karl said as she pulled Weasley into the cabin. The boy couldn't help but smile at the enthusiasm of the daughter of Ares.
"What's happening?" Alexandra asked as she faced the ginger that was standing next to the door. OJ pressed her ear up to it and shushed the other.
"I'm trying to listen!" The daughter of Athena joined her in listening to the couples conversation through the door. Joey and Scarlett stood behind Chloe to watch what she was filming. Charlotte stood watch at another window, ready to sound the Llama call if either of the lovebirds moved to leave the cabin.
"It'stooquietinthere..." Joey whispered to Chloe, who nodded with a grim look on her face.
"If they don't start getting romantic, they'll be no profit in this video." She muttered. Scarlett looked at the two mumbling girls and then back at the scene in front of her.
'It's obvious that he wants to make a move,' she thought. 'He's just too scared to try...' A grin lit her face as she pointed a finger at Weasley, red sparks flying off it. She glanced at her friends to make sure they weren't looking and sent a small beam of sparks into Weasley's back.
'Maybe he just needs a little nudge.' She thought with a smirk.
Karl gave Weasley an annoyed look, "we've been at this for an hour, and you have yet to compliment me!" No one noticed the sparks flying into Weasley's back. His eyes went wide as he looked at Karl.
"You... Want me to compliment you?" He said slowly. Karl nodded.
"But none of that, 'You have a wonderful personality' or 'You're so pretty'. I want you to be real and mean it." Weasley nodded and zoned out. Karl waited (somewhat) patiently for him to enter reality again.
The blonde boy looked up, "When me and OJ came to the Camp, we were given medicine to suppress our..." He trailed off. "Urges." He had a pained look on his face.
"Hermes kids aren't known for being the most reliable, we just cause trouble. After a week of taking it, we both swore off the medicine. Why would we need to suppress who we are?" he looked to Karl for some sort support, but all he got was a confused look.
Weasley sighed and continued, "I haven't taken the medicine for a long time. Well, until I met you. Then I started taking it again." he looked at her with a look of triumph.
Karl was so confused, confused would be called an understatement.
"How is that a compliment, what do I have to do with it?" Weasley's face flushed and he looked down, refusing to make eye contact with Karl.
"You make me want to be a better man."
Karl was so star-struck and awed, she almost missed the sound of a loud sob outside her cabin. The daughter of Ares's head flew up to look out the window, where she saw a cameo wearing Chloe videotaping her and Weasley, two daughters of Aphrodite standing behind her. The tiny girl's face started to turn pink, then red, then purple. The three girls slowly edged away from the window.
Weasley gave an unmanly yelp as he was hauled off the bunk by Karl and dragged behind her to the door. She threw it open with a bang to see the faces of Lexi, OJ, Chloe, Scarlett, and Joey staring at her.
"Caw Caw!" a voice cried. All eyes went to the nymph that was hiding around the corner. "Caw Caw!" she reiterated, pointing at Karl frantically. OJ rolled her eyes.
"A little late, Charmander." The girl shrugged and took off running to her tree. Once she was up it's branches, Karl turned her attention back to the five girls.
"I. WILL. END. YOU!" Karl took off running at OJ, who grabbed Alexandra and Joey's hands, watching as Scarlett and Chloe grabbed the camera and ran the other way. Karl was still dragging Weasley halfway to the border.
As the group ran, Alexandra smacked Joey across the head.
"Good going, Plastic Prima Donna!" The daughter of Aphrodite was still wiping tears from her eyes.
"I'm sorry," Joey wailed. "It was just too beautiful. If you had a sense of romance, you would've cried too!" A rock was hurled at OJ's head, the only thing keeping her from being a squashed orange was Weasley's warning yell. The ginger started to run faster.
"None of us will have a sense of anything if we don't get across the border soon!" she called to the two girls she was leaving in the dust.
