A Tale of Two Connors

A/N: Back again! Aren't you glad I didn't forget you? Anywho, I'm feeling kinda bad for poor Connor, so maybe things will turn around for him in this last chapter…. or not…..

Collin and Travis Stoll were inseparable friends since the moment they'd met. Travis didn't really need Connor, after all, just because Connor was always the brains behind the operations didn't mean Travis never came up with some good ideas too. Travis was comic gold when he needed to be. Besides, just because Connor came up with the idea of defacing the Aphrodite JB and Taylor Laughtner shrine, doesn't mean Travis didn't do a better job of putting the plan into action, because he did… At least, that's what he told himself. Honestly? Travis missed Connor, a lot. He couldn't let it show though, and Collin was OK as a replacement. All it took was a few Connor lessons, and a new last name to match Travis's, and they were the perfect set of brothers… almost.

"So Collin, I just came up with this epic idea for a plan—"

"Naw…"

"…"

Connor, on the other hand, was a complete mess. He had tried to find a Travis replacement, after all, if it worked for Travis is could work for Connor, but it didn't work. At all.

"So you want to be a Travis, huh?"

"Not really…"

"Then why are you here?"

"Because you advertised free food."

"So you don't want to be my new best friend?"

"Not really…"

"Then why did you audition?"

"Free food."

"…"

He definitely needed a plan to be the coolest guy in the Hermes cabin, but his brain was way to fogged up to think about anything. For some reason, Collin had become super-mega-popular. At least, more popular than Connor had ever been. The rumors soared, and suddenly everyone was talking about the super-awesome new Connor. Apparently, he was pretty much just a Connor replica. It was almost like Connor had entered a look-alike contest and lost. How is it possible that Collin could play Connor, better than Connor? No, that was not a possibility. The real Connor definitely needed to step up his game. He needed an experts advice, so of course he went back to Grover.

"Listen," Said Grover in a very un-grover like fashion, "This is what you need to do: You need to play a prank on Collin and Travis." Connor looked at Grover, stunned. "P-play a prank on Travis? He'd see right through it! He's Travis Stoll for Zeus's sake!"

"Yeah," replied Grover, "And you're Connor Steele. You got this."

"I got this…" Connor said, with a tone of defiance against Travis in his voice. I'll pull the biggest prank ever! Now what to do… He thought, and he continued thinking until late into the night.

The next morning, everything was set up for the biggest prank ever. After awhile, Connor finally decided that the best prank to play would be one that scared Travis to pieces, and made Travis realize he couldn't live without Connor. First, he took a note and quickly scrawled something in Collins handwriting. It said: I know away to get out of kitchen duty for that prank we played on the Aphrodite cabin, how about we blame it on Connor? Then he gathered his supplies from the Aphrodite cabin. Yup, you heard right. The Aphrodite Cabin. First he needed to ask them a favor.

"Look Drew, you're head of this cabin, right? I need a favor." He begged, hoping she'd agree. "Eww, why would I do you a favor. Wasn't it you're idea to burn our Taylor/Bieber shrine?" She replied, disgust in her voice. "Well yeah, but this is something to get back at Travis, and we all know how much you hate Travis." He said, trying his best to get her on his side. He won. "Fine," She agreed, "What do I need to do?" Connor smiled. "All you have to do is pretend to be furious at me. That's all, I'll take care of the rest. Oh, and I need to borrow some stuff." He needed a note in Drew's handwriting, lots of confetti hearts and little chocolates, plus some other pretty looking things like fake blood and costume makeup. The Aphrodite cabin was always prepared. All it cost Connor was the price of a few Juicy gift cards. He gathered a few more necessary ingredients from the dining hall, set up by Travis's bunk, let out a blood curdling scream, and waited.

Meanwhile, Collin and Travis were on the training ground, never suspecting a thing. In fact, they were just laughing at their most recent Aphrodite prank. Collin, who knew he hadn't written that note, just played along and pretended that it really was him. After all, it was a great idea. Why not? They were just laughing about it. "I bet he's getting a makeover right now!" Collin laughed. Travis agreed, then the scream came. "What was that?" Travis asked, concern creeping into his voice. "It came from our cabin." Collin looked at him unconcerned. "It was probably just the result of one of our epic pranks. Come on! Lets fight more." They did fight more, but Travis was still a bit worried about his brothers, and one ex-brother in particular. He just felt that something wasn't right. "Oh, I am, well, I'm going to go… uhh… feed my fish! Yeah! I forgot to feed my fish!"

He ran off into the direction of the cabin, opened the door, and walked in slowly. Everything was quiet. Dead quiet. He slowly walked over to his bunk, and that's when he noticed the food cart. It was beautiful, and it was addressed to him. It had a food platter on it, covered up with a golden lid. Sprinkled all around the platter were pink confetti hearts and chocolates. Travis couldn't resist, and he had to see what was the food was for him! On the lid was tied a note, he unwrapped it and read, A Gift to Travis, from the Aphrodite Cabin. Travis was ecstatic. He couldn't wait to see what scrumptious food the Aphrodite's got for him! Looks like it's safe to say that Travis wasn't the brightest poptart in the crayon box.

He opened the lid, and he screamed. Connor's head was covered In blood and lying on the golden platter. Travis sounded like a terrified little girl, "Oh gods! Eeeeeeeeee! What'd I do? Connor! Ahh! EeEeEeEe!" Real tears were flowing down his cheek, and he felt as though all happiness was gone from his body. Then Connor stood up. All of Connor. The table had a hole in it! Connor wasn't really dead! Travis Stoll had been pranked, and he was overjoyed that it was only that.

Connor was dying laughing, in fact, he couldn't remember laughing that hard in his entire life. "Haha! And your face…. with the…. and the…. the real tears… it was priceless!"

"Shut up and hug me!" Travis said, then the two brothers were reunited once again. "Brothers?" Travis asked. "Brothers." Connor confirmed, with genuine happiness in his voice. Travis, who had finally realized the humor in the situation, began dying laughing. "Haha! And the blood… with the glitter… and the… it was…. I thought I… With that… yeah!" Once the two boys were finished hyperventilating, Connor asked, "Wait, where is Collin?"

"Collin who?" Travis replied. Then they both started laughing again.

"You know what's funny?" Travis was said to have commented later, "I wasn't even that freaked out about his head. I was more freaked that the blood ruined the chocolates…"

The End.
