Octavian went out to his stockpile of teddies and realized that he was beginning to run low on them so he decided that it was time to go raid the local department stores for them. He enlisted the help of his pal Reyna because of course Reyna didn't trust him with a camp SUV.

"What do you need me to help you do?" Reyna asked with an eyebrow raised.

"I just need you to well first off drive, since you won't let me, and then you just need to help me buy some teddy bears." Octavian agreed.

Reyna rolled her eyes, "I'm not going anywhere with you if you're wearing a toga."

"I'll just wear the t-shirt and jeans under this then." Octavian rolled his eyes back at her.

"Fine but you're not going to scare little kids like you did the last time." Reyna threatened, "Plus this keeps you away from the campers' stuffed animals."

"It does indeed keep your little purple teddy Jose safe." Octavian nodded.

Reyna smacked the back of his head and pulled him off toward her SUV, "Just shut up or you're going to have to go without teddies for a month."

"But the gods!" Octavian protested.

Reyna sent him a glare that shut him up for the rest of the ride into town.

They pulled into the Toy R Us parking lot and Octavian ran straight to the toy aisle like a little kid who really wanted to go get a toy for their good behavior. Reyna watched as he piled teddy bears, stuffed kittens, pillow pets, anything that resembled any cute childhood toy any child had ever had, into the cart. Then Octavian picked up a little gold bear that looked like Jose and put it on top. Reyna gave him a weird look but he didn't respond with anything.

They pushed two carts full of stuffed animals to the checkout and Reyna started to wonder how on Jupiter's green Earth Octavian was going to pay for them all. The cashier looked at Octavian who handed her a card, "Oh you better get a discount."

Octavian nodded, "I know your manager, I'm a frequent customer."

So in the end the teddy bears ended up costing over two hundred dollars which oddly enough Octavian was able to pay for himself without the help of Reyna. Octavian oddly enough asked the woman to keep the little gold bear out of the bag and he held it all the way into camp. It was past curfew by the time they got back and everyone was in their bunks.

"Thanks for coming along with me." Octavian said. This was one of the times Reyna could actually stand to go anywhere with Octavian.

"It was nothing besides it was for the good of the camp." Reyna shrugged.

Octavian looked at the little gold bear in his hands, they had already taken the rest of them up to his little layer, "Oh I got this for you, to um you know say thanks for coming with."

Reyna took the bear in her hands, "Um thanks Octavian."

He shrugged, "Jose needed a friend."

Reyna kissed his cheek, "Thanks for not being a complete idiot."

She left him standing there and went back to her private cabin where she placed her new bear Juan next to Jose.
