AN: Okay wow, long time. Sorry 'bout that. But just a heads up, this is not priority. I posted because I already had this halfway done. I'll do the other idea I received then either A) wait for an idea to hit me or B) have one of my lovely readers send in a request. Also let me know if there's any of my other stories you want me to update. Majority goes...or if only one person...I guess that's majority.
I didn't run this through my beta (or any beta, just myself) so all mistakes are mine. I'm sorry Moyashi I just really wanted this up asap. Next one will go through you promise. :)
Updates will be sporadic (like all other stories) no promises will be made because I suck at keeping them. Or ask nicely, that's how chapter two of The Last Demon came out. I love you guys! Review please!
Conner and Travis crept up to Demeter's cabin, silently. They had high hopes for this prank, Lou Ellen had finally got fed up with their badgering and made them a potion to use.
Travis had to grab his brother before he fell flat on his face and spilled the potion all over himself. Finally they were under the window.
"Ow! Stop pulling, I understand this braid needs to be tight but really!" They heard Katie exclaim.
"Sorry! I didn't realize!" Annabeth apologized.
"It's fine." There was hesitation. "How are you and Percy?"
"Good...why do you ask?"
"Well, there's this boy I like and was wondering if you could help? I'd rather not involve the Aphrodite cabin."
If anything Travis tried to push his ear closer.
"He's a son of Apollo...he's just so perfect!" Katie exclaimed, her voice desperate.
"Oh, who?" Annabeth asked kindly.
"It's-" Travis ran as fast as he could away. Anger and jealousy making him run faster. Conner shuffled his feet for a second before taking off after his brother, he knew his twin had a huge crush on Katie. It must be tearing him up.
In Demeter's Cabin...
Percy and Annabeth dissolved into laughter.
"Oh man! How long do you think it'll take for them to get together now?" Annabeth asked.
"Not long!"
With the Stolls...
When Conner finally caught up to his brother he was out of breath. Leaning on a tree he tried to catch his breath while watching his twin kick at random forest debris.
"Travis." He called.
"She loves some one else! Apollo's kid! Of course! Sunlight and plants, the perfect match." He grumbled darkly.
"I'm sure you still have a chance."
"A chance! HA! You heard her! She said he was perfect!"
"Well..." Conner trailed off. "Let's just go back to camp and see what we can do."
"Fine." Travis kicked a pile of twigs before stomping off back to camp.
Katie and siblings...
"I wonder why the Stolls ran into the forest so fast." Katie's sister commented.
"Huh? Maybe they put spiders in the Athena cabin again." Both girls thought back to last time. Percy had been over and had helped chase both the spiders and Stolls out. They shivered as they remembered the screams of the twins.
Later after lunch...
"Hey Austin!" Annabeth called after the son of Apollo.
"What's up?" He answered as Annabeth and Percy approached him.
"Wanna help get Travis and Katie together?" Percy asked.
"Oh gods yes. They're way too stubborn to admit it on their own." Austin answered.
"Cool so what we need you to do..." Annabeth started.
Later again though after dinner...
"Hey Katie!" Austin yelled as he ran up to the daughter of Demeter.
"Oh, hey. Uh, Austin right?" She asked.
"Yeah. I was wondering if you'd like to take a walk with me?" Austin asked walking backwards next to her.
"Uh sure." Katie responded smiling. She had to lunge forward to grab him though when he tripped over a rock. He chuckled nervously.
"Ah, I should probably walk the right way round." Katie giggled and blushed.
"Yeah probably. Let's go." And with that they walked into the woods.
With the Stolls...
Conner was was fairly certain he saw smoke coming out of his brother's ears.
"How dare he!? Just whisking her off her feet like that!"
"Dude, calm down."
"Calm down!? Not when she's gallivanting about with him!" Conner shrunk back when Travis glared at him.
"I'm sure it'll work out." Conner paused at his twin's renewed glare. "How about I go talk to Austin. See what he thinks?" Travis visibly calmed.
"Okay yeah. Find out what you can." He was still tense but Conner was sure he wasn't going to set something on fire.
The archery range...
"Hey Austin!" Conner greeted.
"Oh, hey...uh..." Austin looked away awkwardly. Conner didn't take it personally, the only way people could tell him and his brother apart were when they were standing right next to each other. Travis was slightly taller. (Though Percy and Annabeth could always tell, the twins were sure they were psychic.)
"Conner."
"Sorry dude-"
"It's alright, I understand. Anyway, I saw you hanging out with Katie."
"Uh, I mean, yeah." The son of Apollo's expression scrunched up in thought. "I'm sorry, but why do you care?"
Percy and Annabeth had given Austin the go ahead to tell Conner of their plan but he wasn't entirely sure this was truly Conner. Austin knew the twins loved to prank, often introducing themselves as each other. He glanced around quickly, hoping to find at least a half of Percabeth or the other Stoll.
"No reason. Katie's a friend and-"
"Woah! Hold up. Are you trying to give me the shovel talk?" Austin asked, incredulous.
"Not exactly..."
"What's up guys?" And suddenly Percy was standing there, his hair more crazy than usual and black feathers stuck to him.
"Umm, I think I'm being shovel talked." Austin took a step away to put the bow on the rack and taking off the quiver.
"No! I-" Conner's protest was cut off by Percy laughing. "What?"
"You can tell him, it's Conner." Percy forced out.
"Tell me what!?" The son of Hermes demanded.
"I'm not interested in Katie romantically and she's not interested in me outside of being friends. It's a plot to get her and Travis together. Make him jealous enough to make a move." Austin explained.
"Well, you got the jealous part down...wait, is Katie in on this?"
"No why do you ask?" Percy asked.
"Because we were outside the Demeter cabin and heard Katie talking to Annabeth about liking a son of Apollo."
"That was me." Percy declared, confusing Conner even more. "I can change my voice into anyone's voice. I copied hers."
They walked back to Poseidon cabin to continue explaining everything.
Two weeks later...
"I'VE HAD IT!" Everyone currently eating lunch either jumped or choked on their food because of the loud proclamation. They turned to stare at Hermes' table and the only standing member. Travis had stabbed his fork down and it was now buried into the wood.
"Uh, bro?" Conner's voice definitely did not wobble; he stared, wide eyed the fork that was an inch from his hand that had been reaching for his cup.
"Katie Gardner! I love you and I can't stand seeing you so cosy with Mr. Sunshine Jr.!" Travis glanced at a snickering Percabeth before looking at a smirking Austin. His eyes narrowed further as he took in his smiling twin. "What?"
Almost as one the entirety of Camp yelled, "FINALLY!"
Katie sat stunned until her siblings dragged her up. "I-I, you-I don't know what to say." Katie stuttered out. Travis meanwhile seemed to be freaking out, that wasn't supposed to actually come out of his mouth. Right before he turned to run, "I love you too." Both paused, staring at each other.
The two pieces of Percabeth rolled their eyes. Annabeth grabbed Katie and Percy, Travis. Dragging the two lovebirds they met in the middle before letting go. After a minute more of staring they were once again dragged to another location, the strawberry fields. The plants in the immediate area turned a richer green, the strawberries multiplying in size.
The two dumbstruck teens just stood there, barely aware of the other couple's retreat.
Let's just say that the Aphrodite cabin had a fangirl(guy) freakout session and Chiron was getting to old for this sh...tuff*. He should not have to constantly be wary of walking through the field or forest.
Everyone else was understandably ecstatic.
AN: I feel the ending is a little abrupt but, eh. Finals are next week, but the weekend after is a three day weekened with no homework. I hope to update something then.
*Yes that was intentional. I try not to use any inappropriate words no matter how mild. I have before, though I consider it more the character saying it than me.
Oh, almost forgot...
Idea suggested by LovelyMunchie! Let me know how I did with your idea!
Everyone for that matter! Please!?
