Stevie sat on a rock picking strawberries for tonight's dinner. Tyler was supposed to help her, but he was an hour late. Where is he?, she thought. She didn't see him in a week and she was worried.

Tyler walked into the strawberry field, looking around for Stevie.
Stevie found a plumb strawberry and took a bite. "Oh my gods!" She exclaimed gagging, "This tastes disgusting! What in Hades is going on?"
"I dunno," he replied, walking up to her. "I'm not much of an expert in strawberries."
She scowled him, "Why are you late? You were SUPPOSED to be here an hour ago!"
"Sorry," he said, sitting down next to her. "I lost track of time."
She rolled her eyes, "Of course you did." She sighed and hugged him, "I'm sorry, i just haven't seen you in forever. Plus, I think the sour strawberry's getting into my head."
He laughed and hugged her back. "I missed you. How have things been?"
"Pretty good, I'm a bit stressed over the quest though. How about you?"
"I'm good," he responded, pulling out of the hug. "I'm a little nervous about it too."
She smiled, "You seem... Different. Like you're keeping a secret, or something."
He laughed. "I'm horrible at keeping secretes," he replied, nudging her with his elbow. "How are you and Ridge doing?"
"Good," she said slowly. "What's the secret? Tell me!"
"There is no secret," he protested, still laughing.
She pouted her lip, "Pleaseeeeee"
"There's no secret," he insisted, shoving her playfully.
She sighed, "I don't trust you, I mean, you have 'I GOT A SECRET' written all over your face."
"What are you even talking about?" he asked, smirking at her. "Nothing is going on."
She threw her hands up, "You know what, WHATEVER. Just help me pick the stinkn' strawberries so we can get this over with."
"Hey, what's wrong?" he asked gently, touching her shoulder.
"Ugh," she looked down. "It's just that we agreed that we would trust each other, and now after a week with out seeing you it's like you don't trust me anymore."
"I do trust you. There's just no secret," he replied softly.
She sighed, "Okay then, but is there something going on that I should know about?"((Aka his girlfriend ;) ))
"Well, I met this girl," he said, smiling shyly.
Stevie exploded (not literately), "OH MY GODS THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?! What is her name, cabin, hair color, I'm just, YAY! I'm SO happy for you!"
He laughed. "Jeez, calm down. Her name's Rhea. She's a daughter of Zeus and she's amazing."
She waited a few seconds to clam down. "I'm so happy for you!! By the way, at your wedding I'm going to be maid-of-honor, just saying."
He groaned and buried his face in his hands. "Gods, we've been dating for a few days now and you're already planning our wedding."
She shrugged, "What's wrong in that?"
He shook his head. "People usually don't start thinking about marriage less than a week after they start dating."
"When was I ever 'usual'?" She asked.
"Never," he replied, grinning at her. "So yeah, things have been going pretty great. How are things with you?"
"Really good. Ridge agreed to be in the quest too, so soon we should go to Rachel."
"So... Uh, did you tell him?" he asked, looking away.
She looked confused, "Tell him what?"
"About the other night," he explained. "You kinda were cheating on him."
"I did it for you, Tyler." She turned around and started picking strawberries. "Plus, you made it clear that it never happened."
"What do you mean you did it for me?" he asked, looking over at her.
"You were..." She took a breath, "so in love with me, I didn't want break your heart. Plus, it was your idea." She stood up and walked away. "It never happened anyways."
"Hey," he protested and stood up, going after her. "I never said I was in love with you and I never told you to do that."
She turned to him glaring, "Yes you did, stop lying." She stormed off again.
He followed after her, grabbing her arm. "I told you repeatedly I was fine with being just friends. Yes I had a crush on you. No I didn't ask you to kiss me."
She shut her eyes, "I made a mistake, got lost in the moment. But that's over now and I'm awake. So, Let. Me. Go." She pulled her arm from his grasp and continued to walk away.
"Where are you going?" he asked angrily, following behind her.
She didn't reply and keep walking farther into the field.
He hurried to keep up with her, walking alongside her. "Hey, can you please talk to me?" he asked. "I thought we agreed to remain friends."
She stopped and turned to him with tears in her eyes. "That was only if we would forget. You seem to be trying so hard to make me feel horrible about myself, and let me tell you that you succeeded. I don't want to be near someone like that."
"I... I didn't..." he stammered. He took her hand and sighed. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel horrible about this. I'm just confused."
