Third Person's POV
Piper lay on the deck of the Argo II watching the stars bloom in the dark sky. They were silver, not white but sparkling silver. Piper remembered all those times when her father told her about stories involving the sky, wind and spirits. It seemed like a life time ago.
The wind picked up, making her hair go in her face, Piper had to hold her skirt down and survive in the cold. She was now cold. The wind slowly died down like a tornado would after it has eaten some houses and taking a person away from their love ones.
"Jason." Piper muttered. Jason came out of the corner and tiptoed towards her. "I know you're there, Jason." Jason sat down next to her and looked into her eyes.
"May I?" Jason asked holding out his arms. Piper's heart skipped a few beats. She shifted closer to him and went into his warm arms where she felt safe. Jason loved Piper, but was too afraid of realising that he had a girlfriend back at his other camp –Camp Jupiter.
"Why do you keep doing this, Jason?" Piper asked searching deeper in his facial expressions. Because I'm scared was what he had on. Piper wondered why he was so scared; he was the brave, heroic and very very good looking son of Jupiter.
"You only let me hold you when you're cold." Jason admitted. Piper read his facial expressions again. He wasn't lying; there was nothing to prove that. "And I like holding you."
"Then don't stop." Piper replied. "And do it more often when I'm not cold."
Jason chuckled and held her tighter. More grip in his hands. Piper gently slipped her head onto his shoulder and closed her eyes. Piper felt something light go across her cheek. When she realized that it was Jason's lips, she looked at him.
"Did you just kiss me?" Piper asked.
"No. Why?"
"I mean on my cheek." Jason's ears turned red and blushed. "No." His ears turned redder.
I cupped his check and leaned in. We were a center meter away when we heard Annabeth yelling and doing flips around the deck. "Percy Jackson here I come!" Annabeth cheered. Piper laughed at Annabeth's enthusiastic cheer. Jason tried not to laugh. Annabeth stopped for a second and looked out. "Leo!" She yelled. Piper and Jason looked over to Leo, who was filming the whole thing.
"Percy Jackson," Leo said holding the camera to her face. "You're girlfriend is crazy."
"It's not my fault that I haven't seen Percy in eight months, six hours, twenty-three minutes and seventeen seconds!"
"Yeah; it's not your fault," Jason chuckled. "It's Juno's fault for choosing your boyfriend and being my friend."
"You are so on, Grace." Annabeth thrust out her dagger.
"Just wait." Jason kissed Piper on her forehead and let go of her. Piper blushed. "I'm ready."
Percy's POV
I started to run to the warship when someone gripped onto my wrist. They pulled me away from the ship and into the Venus cabin.
It was a Venus child. His hair was shiny and black, like Elvis's hair. His fare skin stood out with his dark clothing and his eyes were a light blue. "We need to make you acceptable for Annabeth." The guy pushed me into a chair and strapped me down. He studied my face. "A little make-up will do. And you need to change into better clothing."
"I'm not wearing make-up, dude." I said looking into the mirror in front of me. "And I want to wear my own clothing. Thanks anyway."
"You are going to wear your own clothing. I'm not into the latest design and all that crap. I'm more… Nothing like my mother."
"Should I be scared?"
"You should be scared if my siblings were doing this." He threw me some clothing. A light blue top and jeans. "Go get changed."
"I'm tied up."
"Stand up!" I stood up and the straps came off. I shrugged and changed. "Good, now you're acceptable for your girlfriend."
"Um… Thanks…"
"No problem, bro." He guy opened the door and pushed me out of his cabin –literally.
"Annabeth!" I ran to my beautiful girlfriend. Her smile wasn't on her face and she was talking to three other people: A boy with sandy blonde chair, Leo and a girl with really uneven brown hair and was shorter than the other girls. "Annabeth!" I called again. Annabeth's head jerked towards me. Then her smile was there. The smile I dreamed of.
I held her close to me, leaving no space between us. I stroked her curly blonde hair and kissed her head. Her breathing deepened, and her breath was shaking. "Is it really you?" Annabeth asked.
"Yes. We're finally together again." I replied.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Annabeth Chase."
"What's my favourite book?"
"Hunger Games."
"Where did we go for our first date?"
"We were in camp Half-Blood. The Fourth of July fireworks; you kissed me when you thought that I was going to die."
"Do you remember everything?"
"Yes. And I remember that I love you."
I cupped her cheek and kiss her. I've waited for her lips on mine for eight months now. I wrap my fingers around her hips and pull her closer to me. Her hands hugged my neck and deepened our kiss even more.
"Hello?" The voice broke our kiss. The girl elbowed Leo in the rib cage, and Leo stumbled back. "I'm Leo." Leo finally said rubbing his ribs. "And this is Piper, and Jason."
"I'm Percy." I replied. I snaked my arms around Annabeth's waist and held her closer than ever before. "I would like you to thank you, for coming here."
"All that's fine, bro; could we get special treatment." Leo said, and this time Jason punched Leo in the shoulder. "Okay. What am I? A punching bag?" Leo asked Piper and Jason. Piper tried not to laugh. "Anyway, you're welcome."
"Jason Grace?" Reyna stepped out behind me and looked at Jason. Jason's eyes suddenly were covered in sadness and pain . . . Almost like he felt trapped. "It is you."
"Yeah, hey." Jason said uneasy.
"You don't remember me?"
"Yeah, I do."
Reyna nodded and tried not to hide the fact that she was really happy to see him again.
"Reyna, this is Piper . . . and Leo." Jason said. He said Leo's name, but kept his eyes on Piper. I'm not that good on love and romance but I could tell that Jason liked Piper maybe more than a friend.
"Hi. We've heard . . ." Piper started. She turned towards Jason. "Nothing about her," She said to Jason. "Huh,"
"Okay . . . Let's do something else." Leo said.
"I'm going to show Annabeth around the camp." I said. "Would you two like to come?" I asked Leo and Piper.
"No, I'll show them around." Jason said giving me a pleading look. I nodded and walked away from the two Roman Demi-Gods, and the two Greek Demi-Gods. Hopefully we'll get along.
