Hey, everybody! Warning: I am still new at this. I write a lot and I get good grades on creative writing at school, and I LOVE books, so I hope my fanfiction is up to par. But this is only the second thing I've published, and the first thing I have finished before publishing, although I've been writing these for about 2-3 years now. Hopefully my writing continues to grow and get better. This is a fanfic about how Jason and Piper get together. So, I wrote this over a couple of weeks and finished it about a month ago, and I really enjoyed writing it. It sucked me in, and I hope it does the same to you.
DISCLAIMER: I am NOT Rick Riordan. I do not own these places or characters. I know most people will disregard this as usually do, because it's obvious that I'm not Rick Riordan. I am a teenage girl. I do not write like him. I created a few names for characters, but most I don't go into detail. However, I do want to say that I have created quite the number of campers for this story, and I will probably use them in future fanfics. THEY ARE NOT REAL. THEY ARE O/Cs. Thanks. Enjoy!

Jason P.O.V.
Reyna. Reyna. Why can't I remember her clearly? All of the memories are coming back, but Reyna is fuzzy. She definitely liked me. And I kind of liked her. But I don't remember if we were together. And I can't figure out if that's because nothing ever happened, or if Hera's data wipe hasn't completely worn off yet. The kids from the Hypnos cabin told me that it's possible that I just still don't remember, although extremely unlikely. So that leaves me with the next most reliable source, the Aphrodite campers, children of the goddess of love. But of course, I can't talk to the only person from Aphrodite that I really know, Piper, because I REALLY like her, and I know she still likes me, and I don't want to screw anything up before it happens at all by bringing up another girl, a possible long-lost girlfriend.
I would go to Annabeth, but she's a little busy talking to the entire world trying to get in touch with Percy. I still say Leo's her best bet. If she could pull him away from building the ship for maybe two hours, he could probably whip up some device that could allow her to reach him. But Leo is doing nothing but working on the ship, eating in the bunker for two out of three meals a day, and sleeping for about six hours every night. Anyway, that leaves the rest of Aphrodite cabin, minus Drew and Piper. I knock on the door, and Lacy swings it open. She looks at me expectantly. "Is Piper here?" I ask. She smirks at me knowingly. "Sorry, no." She says, starting to close the door. "Good." I breathe, stepping inside.
"So you're saying I almost definitely wasn't with Reyna?" I ask nervously. "Not exactly." Sarah answers. "You weren't in a serious relationship with her, at least. Well, not from your perspective, anyway."
I look at all of the makeup covered faces that surround me, confused. "I still don't understand." Carly sighs, exasperated, "If you truly loved her, he would resonate completely within you. Because she wouldn't be in your mind, she'd be in your heart." She explains. "Yeah, like even if Percy Jackson has no memories, we know he'll remember Annabeth." Sarah adds. "Percy and Annabeth were officially in love?" I say curiously.
Lacy chimes in. "Duh. Well, they haven't actually said it yet, we asked Annabeth, but it's obvious. They've liked each other since their first quest together. That was five years ago. Some psychologists have this theory that once you have feelings for someone for four months and it doesn't fade, it's considered love. It can happen before that too, but that's not the point. I don't know if I really believe that theory, but Percy and Annabeth, well, everyone can see it. The real giveaway was when he snuck on to a quest with your sister and the most lethal, boy-hating huntress in the history of the world. The quest was to save Artemis, who had gone missing. Percy snuck along because he refused to believe that Annabeth, also missing, was dead, and had to save her. That was our clue. It was obvious Percy was only partially clued in to his feelings. We think he figured it out that summer." She explains, and I cannot understand how anyone can talk that fast.
I turn to Mitchell, needing a guy's advice. I give him a look that says, What do you think? He thinks for a second. "Sorry to base everything off of their relationship, but they are perfect. Annabeth gave up Huntress immortality for him, Percy gave up being a god for her. He-" I interrupt him, "He was offered a godship?" Mitchell nods, and I feel a pang of jealousy in my chest. Then reality hits me. "And he gave it up for Annabeth." I say softly.
Carly smiles, "They weren't even together yet." I whistle. "You guys are right. Even Leo would have to admit, that's love." I say. "Anyway," Mitchell continues. "He searched for her the way she's searching for him now. The question is, would you do either for Reyna?" I ponder this for a minute. "No." I tell them. "I mean, I search for her. But not because of love. Because she's my friend.
Sarah nods thoughtfully, "Well, then there's your answer. Somewhere in the back of your head, in your subconscious mind, your instinct is that she is your friend. If you had been together, even for a couple of days, that instinct would be that she's more than a friend. But it's not. So you weren't dating Reyna." I nod and stand up.
Once I'm at the door, I turn around. "Does this mean I can act on feelings I have for another girl?" I ask. Lacy smiles at me. "I think we may be a bit too biased to answer that question, seeing as the girl is our sister, but yes." She responds. I feel my cheeks warm. "Who said this was about Piper?" I say defensively. She raises her eyebrows at me. "You did. I never said which sister." She replies pointedly. I blush again and say my thanks before leaving.
Okay, that's it for Chapter One! Hope you guys are liking it! Please review! See you in chapter Two!
