Reyna's POV
Me and my fellow praetor Percy Jackson stand by while we and the romans wait for this ship flown by the Greeks, to land. As it slowly sails towards us, my fellow companions raise their weapons. "Romans do not attack!" I yell. They nod, but still have their weapons raised. I'm so nervous. It's not very Roman of me, but at least I show no emotion.
" think that Jason is aboard that ship?I've really missed him." I whispered to Percy. He chuckles.
"I'm sure of it you two can ride off to the sunset in New Rome." he whispered back. I elbowed Percy in the side. Percy has found out I've had an interest in Jason. Oh who am I kidding, the whole CAMP knows I like we were side by side as praetors, we've gotten really close. Jason is like a best friend to me, but I wanted to be more than that. That night he disappeared, that was actually the day I was going to confess my feelings to , I'm back to the start where I'd be too nervous to bring up a topic thats somehow related to it.
Time passed, and the ship landed a good 20 yards away from us. A blonde girl who had princess curls came out first, and judging by the fact Percy is wide-eyed, that was probably Annabeth. Followed by her was a latino-elf looking guy with curly black him was a Cherokee girl with choppy chocolate-brown hair, and color changing eyes. Then, after her it was him. Jason Grace, after several months he hasn't changed much, except that he was wearing an orange t-shirt. Where is his purple toga?Since he's praetor he must wear it. I thought.
I just wanted to run up to Jason, and hug him.I've missed him so much. I still can't believe he's back! Though, all my feelings got crushed when he held the Cherokee girl's hand. My face didn't show emotion, but somehow Percy knew I felt hurt because of this. Gods, does this kid have some telepathy power or what?
"We come in peace Romans, put your weapons down." The Cherokee girl she was a daughter of being with Circe, I know a charm speaker when I see one. Everyone put their weapons on the ground, but I still held mine with a tight grip. The Venus girl looked surprised, and I could see a smirk on Jason's face.
"Welcome um, Greeks. To Camp Jupiter!We are glad to have you all as we'll all have a gathering at the Mess Hall, but for now everyone else please report back to your original tasks." I say firmly. The romans all say "Yes Praetor Reyna!" in a soldierly way, and dispersed.
Percy kept tapping his leg, and then gave me a glance. I already know what he's asking to do, and I nodded. The minute I nod, Percy ran to Annabeth and they kissed. My eyes roll, as the Greeks come closer to the New Rome border.
"Before we have our meeting, you must hand me your weapons and magic items." Annabeth handed me a celestial bronze dagger, and a baseball cap with a yankees sign on it. The latino whose name I soon found out was Leo, gave me his tool belt. I went on to Jason who plopped Ivlivs on my hand. Last but not least I went on to the Cherokee girl, Piper.
"I don't have a weapon" she said.
"Save your charm-speak for the monsters daughter of Venus, just hand over Katoptris, and you can be on your way." Piper looked surprised again, and then took out the weapon out of her boot. I slipped it from her hand, and gave it to Dakota.
He gave me a questioned look. "What am I supposed to do with these?" Dakota asks. "First, ask the smiths to fix any weapon damaged, then keep it somewhere to make sure you don't do otherwise, Gwen will accompany you." I said. Kota nodded, and as he was about to wear Annabeth's baseball cap I shouted out, "And DON'T use any of the magic items!" He stomped his foot, but soon got happy again after Gwendolyn threw a kool-aid to him.
Everyone took a seat in the Senate House. My two dogs Aurum and Argentum both glare at Piper who was sitting next to Jason, and holding his hand. I grin at my dogs. They're such loyal creatures. Once Frank and Hazel joined us, I beckoned the two companions to me, and they obeyed.
While stroking my automatons, I began to speak. "Well, lets get right down to business. Jason, why don't you explain to us how you disappeared, and that quest I've been hearing you, Leo, and Piper did." With that, Jason told all of us about their encounter with cyclopses, how they freed Hera, and how he ended up in this bus heading to the Grand Canyon. Though, when I asked him about how he met Leo and Piper, Aurum and Argentum told me he was lying.
After each of us had our share with the meeting, I said we all could go to the Mess Hall now.
The minute I stood up from my chair, the doors flung open. "FINALLY YOU GUYS ARE DONE! WE'VE BEEN WAITING SINCE THE START OF THE MEETING FOR YOU GUYS!" yelled Dakota. He, Bobby and Gwen with their arms around each other waddled over to me. Not very Roman of them...but, this is Dakota, Bobby, and Gwen I'm talking about. "Hey Reyna!" Bobby said. I waved 'hi'. "So, now that Jason's here...you gonna make your move?" Gwen squealed and whispered. Gwen has always been the first person to know I like Jason, and ever since, we can't go a conversation with that bringing me and him during battles! Though, I couldn't help, but smile at that.
"Uhh Gwendolyn," Dakota said while looking behind him. "Look." All of us look at the direction Kota was looking at, and my smile turned to a frown. Piper hugged Jason and then gave him a full blown kiss on the cheek. I didn't take that well, but it was Gwen who had a tantrum. "That GREEK!" she yelled. Fortunately, only me, Dakota, and Bobby heard , her dirty mouth would've been more pleasant if not graphic. "Don't worry Reyna, we got this." Bobby implied. I was about to protest, but the three stooges already pranced their way towards Piper and Jason. I couldn't help but listen.
"JASON!" Bobby and Dakota shouted, pushing Piper away carelessly. I laugh at that, though only softly.
"Ahh, the two knuckleheads I call my 'friends' are still quiet as always." Jason says sarcastically. He remembered Bobby and Kota? I wonder if he remembered me.
"Aren't you forgetting someone Jase?" Gwen asked.
"I still remember you, Gwendolyn."
"Of course, you had to remember that I HATE it when you call me by my full ,but I don't mean me! What about the other girl who was close to you here?"
I watch Piper who has her arms crossed, is pouting, and glaring at my four closest friends. But when I heard what Gwen asked Jason, I immediately knew she was wondering if Jason remembered me.
"How can I forget the girl who was praetor beside me, the one who always had my back, and the one I first came became closest to the first time I joined this camp." With that my heart just got heated up. The four of them turn around to see me, and Jason beckoned me to join course, being my tempted lovesick-self, I walked towards them. I got a quick glance at Piper who was as red as a tomato of jealousy.
When I got to the group, we all put our arms around each other, and the best part is, is that I had my arm around Jason, and he had his around me.
Dakota, Bobby, and Gwen all give me a thumbs up, and wink. I mouthed the words to them, I owe you guys. And they mouthed the words it's fine.
I'm so lucky to have these guys as my friends.
