This is my 1st PJO fanfic. I like the Stoll brothers but there are only a few fanfics out there about them, so I thought I'd give it a shot, please rate and review!

Thinking about Luke

Luke. I was thinking about him all the time. I couldn't get him out of my mind. Memories of him would flood my mind. Him fighting, his sword, Backbiter, glinting in the sunlight. Luke talking, seeming agitated. Waving his arms around, trying to get something through to the other person. Wonder who it was. And most disturbing of all, the raspy whisper that filled my dreams that definitely wasn't Luke. Luke Castellan. Luke Castellan, son of Hermes, come to me. Weird.

I mean, Luke was a great guy and all, but lots of demi-gods died, and their deaths never affected me this way. Not even Annabeth had these dreams, I was pretty sure of that. Why me? Maybe it was because Luke was like an older brother to me. A role model of what a perfect son of Hermes should be. Clever, strong, a leader, but with a mischievous streak too. Then he betrayed us. Everyone. He went off and became a servant to Kronos, determined to kill us all. Then he sacrificed himself for us. It's enough to make anyone's head spin, mine especially. I stared up at the ceiling from my bunk bed, wondering why Luke's death would affect me so much. He left me and my brother alone to fend for ourselves, but we could do it. We were now the leaders of the Hermes cabin after all.

"Travis? You all right?" came the sleepy voice of my brother from the bottom bunk. Even late at night, he knew if there was something going on with me.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I replied. "Keep quiet, we don't wanna wake up the others, do we?"

"You bet we don't," Connor chuckled. I bet he was remembering the time we woke the whole cabin up by yelling… actually, I don't think you want to know. But the cabin heard it, and what they did to Connor and me wasn't pretty.

"What's on your mind, dude?" Connor asked me.

"Just thinking about… stuff."

"Stuff? Well, you better stop thinking about 'stuff' and sleep. Remember, we've got a big day tomorrow, if you know what I mean."

As if I didn't know. We've been planning it for days.

"I know, I know," I sighed. I was getting tired of him asking if I remembered the plan.

"Oh! Iknow what's going on," Connor said suddenly.

"You do?" I asked, nervous. As brothers, we were really close, but I wasn't sure I wanted him to know about my dreams of Luke. I didn't know what he would think of it, even though we usually know each other's thoughts. This was different.

"You're nervous, obviously! I know we haven't pulled a prank this big since the Golden Mango, but we'll do fine, Trav. Now sleep, we need rest for the big day!"

I sighed inwardly. My brother could be so clueless sometimes. But this time, it was a good thing.

"Night bro," I said.

Connor was already snoring.

Please R&R! Just trying out the plot, any ideas? Also, any ideas about what the prank should be? Not sure how people would react to this, so I'm gonna wait for at least 5 reviews before continuing. It seems like it's just the Stolls, but it's not. Other characters will be in the next chapter, including Percabeth. ( If not, in the chapters after that!) Also, something might be happening for one of the Stoll brothers too… Keep reading!!
