I do not own Percy Jackson, but Louisa is my OC/OOC thingy.

Random idea thing, love triangle between Reyna-Jason-Piper.

Please review!

"Hiya, Jason." Piper bounced up to him and linked her arm through his.

"Hey." He grinned. "What's up?"

"The sky, Sparky. Honestly, am I not allowed to see my boyfriend?" Jason kept his smile in place, but his heart thudded nervously.

Ever since he got his memories back, Reyna and Piper had fallen into battle, trying to win him over. Right now, he was bouncing between the two and it gave him a major headache. He liked both of them, but he couldn't decide which girl to stay with, seeing as he didn't want to upset either of them. Piper may have been a sweet daughter of Venus- Aphrodite- but she had a stubborn streak. Reyna's mother was a war goddess, so it wasn't ideal to annoy Reyna.

Piper was talking to him. "Drew's being a pain again. She insists that she didn't move most of her stuff onto Michael's side, but he swears he saw her do it. I've finally gotten rid of the shoes of shame and that poster with my dad." She seemed pleased with her work, staring dreamily up at the blue sky.

They were sat under the pine tree. Peleus was watching them, daring them to so much as breathe on his precious Golden Fleece.

Jason reached forward and took a pinecone from the ground. He threw it up and caught it, threw it up again and caught it again, repeating these two actions while Piper fired questions at him. "How're things at Camp Jupiter? Is Octavian behaving or is still being a jerk? How does being praetor again work for you?"

"Piper, have you nicked some of Leo's coffee?"

"Maybe a bit. But I did get up to go and see him early. It was something 'urgent'," She freed his arm to mark quotations in the air. She took his hand, "Turns out he had run out of coffee himself, so I had to trudge all the way back to the Big House and raid the cupboards while Chiron was sitting in the other room. And the harpies nearly got me as well. They're really cranky in the morning." Piper rested her head on his shoulder. "You haven't answered any of my questions." Jason thought for a minute.

"Things at my camp are going good- the fourth cohort got their asses kicked in war game by the fifth cohort. Seriously, since Percy joined them, they've learnt to kick butt big time." Piper smiled. "Octavian will always be a jerk. I caught him throwing teddies at some new kid."

"What'd you do?"

"Ripped the teddies up, told him to read his future."

"What did he say?"

"He said that I was going to forgive him, but he was shaking and really pale."

"You didn't forgive him, did you?"

"Why would I when he's bullying a newbie?" Jason cleared his throat and did his best imitation of Octavian. "I'm sorry, Jason, praetor, sir, it was all harmless fun. I read that you will forgive me." Piper was giggling. Jason switched to his normal voice. "I kicked the teddies and the stuffing about, took the new kid and told him to clean up." Piper laughed. Her laugh warmed his still thudding heart.

"Oy! Sparky!" Jason turned and saw Percy and his sister, Louisa, racing up the hill. Louisa shoved her brother and gained a head start.

Jason got to his feet, pulling Piper up with him.

"Hey, guys. What's the matter?"

"We're up for that sparring match." Percy told him, grinning. "And the rematch that you still owe me."

"Oh yeah. Nearly forgot about that." Jason looked at Louisa. "Alright, Lou?" She nodded, smiling slightly. "Still haven't pulled Fire boy from his cubby hole?"

"I've run outta ideas. Coffee don't bribe him out anymore."

"What's he working on?"

"Somethin' shiny, big, covered in wires 'n' made of metal." Jason shot the Look at his cousin. "That's all I know, dude. Ya should go 'n' see him later."

Percy and Jason wondered into Bunker 9.

"Leo!" Jason called.

"Jason?" Jason and Percy looked up. Leo was leaning over the edge of a catwalk above their heads. "Dude, you're here!" Leo disappeared. They could hear him moving along the metal catwalk and then down a ladder. A few seconds later, the son of Hephaestus appeared in front of them. "Dude!" He said again, bounding forward and hugging Jason, pinning Jason's arms to his sides.

Jason squirmed uncomfortably.

"Uh… hi to you too, Leo. You've had a lot of coffee haven't you?"

"You should see what I'm working on, Jason." Leo pulled Jason along in insistence. Percy followed, looking around Bunker 9.

Jason and Percy stared up at Leo's latest creation. Louisa had been right- big, shiny, made of metal and covered in wires.

"Leo? What is it?"

"I'm not sure. I'm just putting stuff together and waiting for the result."

"Isn't that dangerous?" Jason countered worriedly.

"As in explosive dangerous?" Percy added.

"That's why I lined the Bunker 9 with god sized Hephaestian metal sheets. I've been throwing bombs at it for ages. The metal just absorbs it and the explosion happens inside the metal. Not a scratch!" He cheered excitedly.

"Leo, I think you need to get some sleep and lay off the coffee for a little while." Jason said, putting his hands on Leo's shoulders. "Calm down, OK?"

"Later. Got work to do." Leo twisted out of Jason's grip and was gone. Percy and Jason stared after him, both bewildered.

"We should catch him and feed him to the- uh, don't worry…" Percy looked around innocently. Jason's glares were as bad as Louisa's. "Anyway, how's it going with your little girl issue?"

"Little?" Jason groaned and leant against a nearby work bench. "It'll be the end of me." Percy grinned, humouring him. Jason nudged his cousin's shin with his foot. "I see you managed to get married and have a kid."

"Yup."

"Something you're very proud of."

"Obviously."

"Do you guys want coffee?" Leo called out.

"You're not allowed anymore!" Jason shouted back.

"Aw what?" Leo complained. Jason and Percy shared a look before leaving to search for their friend.

They found Leo hurriedly making coffee, hiding his mug.

"Leo." Jason warned. Leo looked over his shoulder, his eyes wide with hyperactivity and innocence. "I don't think so, do you?"

"Why not?"

"How many have you had today?" Leo thought for a minute.

"Twelve?"

"Twelve?" Percy repeated, amazed. Leo nodded. "No wonder why you're away with the fairies."

"Away with the fairies?" Jason frowned.

"Lou says it. She comes out with some random stuff and I pick it up real easy. 'Coolio' is one of her words."

"And 'cowbag', 'boosh' and…" Leo scrunched his face up slightly in thought. "Oh, and 'ninja-ree.'"

"I know the last one."

"She should write her own dictionary."

"She probably would. If she wasn't dyslexic."

"She could write it in Greek. Or Latin. Or gibberish."

Five minutes later, with Leo drinking water instead of coffee, the three friends were sat around a hurriedly cleared workbench- 'hurriedly cleared' meaning everything thrown onto the floor.

"Leo, we should help Sparky with his girl problems." Jason mentally groaned.

"Flip a coin." Leo paused. "Actually no, 'cos I don't want you throwing sharp things at me." Jason rolled his eyes at him. Leo smiled sweetly.

"What'd you want to do?" Percy asked Jason, sipping from his coffee. Jason shrugged. "Helpful."

"You like both of them, don't you?" Jason hesitated.

"Yeah." He mumbled eventually. Percy and Leo looked at him sympathetically. Jason rubbed at his forehead, trying to massage away his headache. "It's like I'm… two-timing or something, but I don't like it."

"Heh heh, two timer." Jason kicked Leo under the table. "Ow, ow, ow." Leo rubbed at his bruised shin.

"What are you doing at the moment?"

"Other than slowly going mad, I'm bouncing between the two, pretending I've chose one over the other."

"You'll be dead if they find out."

"Thank-you for your continued support, Leo."

"Any time, Jason." Leo smirked.
