Tratie

Katie

Michelle grins at me, looking very much like a hyena.

"Oh come sit next to me Katie." She says, sounding like a snake rising to strike.

I gulp down the fear in my throats, and take a seat next to Travis, with him in between us.

Rachel's eyes widen and she begins. "Welcome everyone to the Argo II and Friends (tm) Truth or Dare!"

Everyone smiled at her imitation of a game show host.

"First up...... we have Leo, to start us off. Leo, please spin the bottle."

Leo rubs his hands together and spins. He pushed a little too hard, we have to wait two minutes for it to come to a stop.

"And it lands on........Thalia!!!! Truth or Dare huntress." Rachel said.

Thalia smirked. "Dare, as always."

Leo's eyes lit up. "I dare you too run into the Athena cabin covered in tarantulas."

Thalia paled slightly. "Alright. Ok. Sounds good."

A few minutes later, Thalia was clearly uncomfortable, covered in twenty tarantulas outside of the Athena cabin. Annabeth had chosen to remain in the cave with Percy.

"I want my tombstone to say 'as brave in death as she was in life'"

Then she ran. She lost about five tarantulas on the way there.

"Oh hey Thalia what do you- AHHHHHHHHHH"
Screams came from the cabin, along with several loud thwacked and grunts.

When Thalia emerged, she had a black eye and bloody nose. Will tried to give her ambrosia, but she refused, saying these were her "battle scars".

Truth or Dare had officially begun.

"Ooooh Frank Truth or Dare" Rachel asked.

"Ummmmm dare I guess" Hazel smiled at him and gently squeezed his arm, and he seemed to relax.

Thalia grinned. "I dare you to transform into a kitten and..... go into the Aphrodite cabin."

Frank gulped, then there was a cute orange tabby sitting in Hazels lap. She smiled, picked it up and tied a pink bow around his neck.

He mewed, as if to say "Why are you doing this to me?"

I went with Piper to drop Frank at the Aphrodite cabin door. We decided Frank could find his way back, and headed back to the cave.

"In absence of Frank Zhang, Hazel shall spin. Ahh Monsieur Jason how would you like to proceed?"

"Dare." Said Jason, clearly underestimating Hazel.

"I dare you to fly around camp wearing nothing but underwear and shouting "I'm captain underpants!!" at the top of your lungs. Oh and Percy get to record it with Leo's video camera."

Jason hung his head in shame, and we all early gathered by the campfire, waiting for the show.

Then on the horizon, emerged a hero with a red cape and... underwear?

We laughed so hard no one could catch their breath as Jason flew around camp yelling "I'm Captain Underpants!!!!"

A few minutes later, we returned to the cave once again.

Jason's spin landed on Miranda.

"Truth or Dare?"

"Truth. I don't have to prove anything to you guys."

"Do you like Connor?"

Her face turned beet red. I shouldn't have, but I laughed. A little bit. Then everyone joined in.

She glared at me and spun the bottle. Somehow, it landed on me.......

Before she could ask me, Frank stumbled in, still in kitten form, acting like he was drunk.

He had lipstick smeared on his lips, fake eyelashes, eyeliner, blush, and a tutu. He looked like a train wreck.

We all roared with laughter.

Hazel picked him up and set him gently on her lap, petting him. "He can't shift when he's stressed," she explained, carefully removing the makeup with a tissue she had in her pocket.

Miranda resumed her spin.

"Katie, I dare you to sit on Travis's lap the entire evening." She said, not giving me a chance to say Truth.

I'm pretty sure my blush was brighter than hers.

I gently pulled myself on top of his lap. He flushed gently too, and it made me feel a bit better.

I couldn't help but notice Michelle frown.

Well she could go screw a goat for all I care.

Travis was mine for this evening.
