AN: Yes this will have House of Hades spoilers! So, who loved the book? It took me two and a half weeks to read it, but I finished it yesterday! anyway I hope you enjoy!

Jason watched as everyone went to their corners of the ship. Percy and Annabeth were staring at the stars and talking about something. Piper and Hazel were practicing sword fighting on the other end of the deck. Jason looked next to him and saw Frank. He had just been talking to Frank about what it was like take charge at camp. Their conversation had ended about a moment ago, yet Jason could still hear Frank talking about what he could do for the camp when they returned. Jason though of it as an if we return problem.

He now knew that a deadly situation was coming up in at least fourteen days, maybe sooner. He had planed on reaching Athens before then though, but he knew there would be set backs for fights. So far there hasn't been much monster activity since Percy and Annabeth had come back from Tartarus. It seemed way too easy so far for Jason's liking. He knew at some point a monster would attack, and they needed to be ready.

Piper and Hazel finished up their fight and walked over to Jason and Frank. They both had messed up hair and a face dripping with sweat. Piper was wearing dark tank top and yoga pants under her armor. He hair, which used to be in a braid, looked like a rat's nest. Hazel didn't look much better. She was wearing a New Orléans t-shirt and sweatpants with her armor. He hair looked like someone had rubbed a balloon over it. It was sticking all over the place like a tigers mane.

Hazel smiled over at Piper. "She's getting better. She is getting closer to being able to match my skills. I think she'll be amazing in no time."

"Well, what did you expect from me? I'm not just going to sit back and watch you guys get your butts kicked!' Piper laughed.

"Hey! I do a fair amount of butt kicking myself!" Jason mumbled. "I mean you should have seen me fight Cupid!"

Everyone went silent. No one knew about that fight for a reason. The reason being that Nico had confessed his love, and made Jason swear not to tell anyone without his word. Ever since then he had started to understand Nico a little more.

"When did you meet Cupid? You never told us about that." Piper said. Her tone was suggesting that she wasn't happy about hearing about it this late.

"I didn't tell you guys because it was not important. Me and Nico just ran into him when we tried to get the scepter." Jason tried to explain without putting Nico on the chopping block.

"Nico didn't tell me anything about it either. I guess that it wasn't really that big of a deal to him either." Hazel mumbled.

If only Jason could agree with her. He knew that the battle had meant something to Nico, but he wasn't going to share that. It was still too embarrassing for Nico to admit to them. He still was learning how to deal with his feelings. Jason just wished he would've stayed with them.

"Yea, that's why." Jason mumbled under his breath as he walked away.

He started to his cabin. He just needed sometime to rest and think. The others were on the deck, so they would be able to stop any attacks that came their way. He sat down on his bed and sat down. He stared out the window as if waiting for Gaea to appear.

He finally was able to get some sleep, but of course these dreams would not be normal teenage dreams. He knew that if he fell asleep he would get demigod dreams, but he slept anyway.

When he looked around he noticed he was standing on Half-Blood Hill. He was standing right next to his sisters tree which was on fire at the moment. He saw Romans walking toward the camp from the bottom of the hill. There had to be at least a hundred battle ready demigods. He noticed Octavian standing in the front, and he was wearing a purple cape.

Jason thought back to what Reyna had told him when she had first saw them. She had told them that she had come to help, but had to leave the crazy teddy bear killer in charge. Well, she didn't say it exactly like that, but that's how Jason took it.

Rachel stepped out of camp and walked up to Octavian slowly. "Didn't your leader tell you not to attack? Or were you not paying attention to a higher rank officer?" Rachel asked him.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Octavian shrugged. "All I heard was attack the Greeks. So that is what I'm doing."

Rachel snorted. "Yea I guess you forgot to add the word don't in to that sentence."

Octavian did not look pleased. In fact he looked like Rachel had run over his puppy. "How dare you talk that way to an officer of New Rome!"

"Oh I dare!"

Then the scene faded away like dust.

Piper stood over him when he woke up. She was laughing about something , that much he could tell. "Rise and shine sleepy head! I'd hurry to breakfast if you don't want Percy to eat your share of waffles along with his own."

Jason sat up and ran into Percy. "Don't you dare touch my toaster waffles!" He yelled at Percy and ran into the Kitchen.

He grabbed his plate of food and sat down. Percy came in after him and grabbed a plate stacked with eggo waffles. He sat down next to Jason with an evil glint in his eye.

By the time the rest entered the room, Percy had finished his plate. "Hey Jason, are you going to eat those?"

Jason looked down at his plate. He had eaten most of his food, and there were about four waffles left. No chance was he going to give it to Percy though. He would finish them before Jason could said no.

"Percy!" Annabeth gasped. "Your don't ask people something lie that!"

Hearing his girlfriend, he turned and smiled at her. "Come on Annabeth! I'm hungry!" Percy begged.

"Can't you just make more? I mean we have everything you need in the fridge." Leo said sitting down. "I also just fixed the toaster again. And Frank, next time you hide as a mouse, don't get jammed in the toaster. You could have broken it for good!"

Hazel gave Leo a look. "What he means is that you could die!"

"Or get a really bad sun tan!"

Frank laughed. "You do realize that wasn't me right?"

They all stared at him in shock. "We had a random mouse in our toaster, and you gave me these waffles!" Percy asked loudly. "I can't believe I just-"

Then the boat shuddered, and Jason's hope for having an easy ride to Athens no longer existed.
