AN: Oh gods, I'm so sorry, guys! I really wanted to update something but I didn't have time….. I'M SO SO SO SORRY! Here's my apology gift – an AU Tratie fanfic :-) I just freaking love this pairing, even though there isn't much to work with in the books… it's like Sally and Lawrence (is that his name? XD) on Doctor Who's "Blink" episode, or Maria and Robin on The Secret of Moonacre… so… I'm probably boring you right now so… disclaimer please!

I don't own PJO. Sadly.

Katie watered the flowers in the shop window. She was about to close the shop, when she saw a movement in the corner of her eye. She looked at the direction, but when she saw nothing, she decided it was only her imagination. She locked the cashier and changed the sign on the window from 'OPENED' to 'CLOSED'. She looked for the door keys' in her bag when she was grabbed from behind and someone put their hand on her mouth and pointed a gun to her head.

"Shut up and open the door!" she head a manly voice whisper. She reached out her trembling hand and twisted the door handle. The man holding her shoved her inside and released her to close the door.

"Who are you? And what do you want from me?" she asked with a shaky voice.

"Don't worry; I don't want to hurt you," The man said. He was wearing a stocking cap so she couldn't see his face.

"Really? You're really convincing with that gun you're pointing at me."

The guy looked down at his hand, and looked surprised. "This?" He pulled the trigger and Katie shrieked, but then she noticed that the only thing coming out of the gun was a little flame.

"It's – it's a lighter?" she asked.

"Of course it is! Why should I carry a gun?"

"Uh… because you're probably trying to rob my shop?"

"Why on earth would I rob your shop?"

"You pointed your 'gun' at me and made me open the door in the middle of the night when no one but me can see you, plus you're wearing a stocking cup. Sure. You just wanted to chat." Katie put her hands on her hips.

"Do you even know how cold it is outside? I was freezing and the stocking cup was very useful. But since it bothers you so much, here." He took off the cup and Katie finally got to see his face. The guy was somewhere in his twenties, around her own age. He had brown curly hear, and bright blue eyes. He had elfish face, and the look on her face made her think that it isn't such a good idea to fully trust him, but he wasn't very dangerous.

"You didn't answer my question – what do you want from me?"

The guy looked outside, searching for something – or someone – in the street. "I think I pissed off this gang girl –"

"What did you do?" Katie asked.

"Nothing! I just bumped into her, so she and her friends decided chased me. I think I lost them now."

"Wait, you lead some gang members to my shop? Are you insane? I can't –"

"Hey, there, girly! Relax! I said I lost them, so nothing's gonna happen!"

Katie glared at him. "Don't call me 'girly', I'm practically your age."

"Then what do you suggest I call you?" he said, a playful smirk on his lips.

"Katie Gardner." She held out her hand for him to shake.

"Stoll. Travis Stoll." He shook her hand and smiled.

"Don't do that. The fact that you got away from a gang doesn't mean you're James Bond."

"I'm not." He smirked. "I just said, my name is Travis Stoll." Katie rolled her eyes.

"Whatever you say." She headed to the door. "Are you leaving? Or are you planning to stay here for the night?"

Travis looked at her. "Actually… can I stay here? I don't know, maybe that chick is still after me…"

Katie rolled her eyes. "You're paranoid."

"That doesn't mean she's not after me!" he gave her a puppy look. "Please?"

"Oh, no. Don't do the puppy eyes thing."

"Pretty-pretty please?"

Katie sighed. "I'm so gonna regret doing this…"

15 minutes later

"I just met you, and I'm letting you stay in my shop at night. I'm going nuts." Katie muttered, putting a pillow and a blanket she got from her car's trunk.

"Yeah, I know. I'm such a charmer." Travis smirked.

"This is just for tonight."

"Okay."

"Tomorrow morning you'll leave and we'll never see each other again."

"Fine with me."

"While you're here, you won't touch anything."

"Whatever."

"Travis!"

"Okay, okay. Loose for a while, Katie-Kat."

"Yeah, don't call me that." She said, glaring.

"Why? I think it kind of suits you. Katie-Kat. I like it."

"Shut up."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Good boy." She said, satisfied. "Well, I will be back on 7 a.m. and then you'll leave this place."

"Of course."

"Goodnight," she said, getting out of the door.

"Goodnight, Katie-Kat." He pulled his tongue out and she glared at him, locking the door of the shop.

AN: WOW. THAT WAS LAME! Well, it's the first time I'm writing about this pairing, so you'll forgive me about that. I'm not very good with fanfics which don't involve reading the books XD Anyway, PLEASE review. CCs are accepted, flames are not. Okay? And please read and review my other fanfics! I know, most of them are from the 39 Clues fandom, and that crossover is SUPER LAME, but I have this one fanfic about the Stoll brothers and how they got to camp and stuff XD

To the TARDIS I go!

The Girl of the Moon, next companion of the Doctor :P

PS I hope I can update soon, and if I get more reviews maybe that will make me update sooner *hint hint*
