Hello again. You maybe asking "Another story?!" Yes, another story. I've wanted to write some PJO/HoO for a while now.

And of course, it's gonna be involving my all-time favorite ship… Liper!

I have no idea how this came to be, but it started with a goddamn rubber band.

Oh lordy, what have I gotten my self into?

LPOV

Leo was having a horrible day. First he had set his pants aflame while down at Marvin's Garage, then God decided to help put the fire out. 2 hours later. With rain. Thanks for the help, Leo thought.

The best part; Leo was walking. He hadn't predicted to onslaught of rain. Who would have?

He trudged up the steps to his apartment 6B. As he neared the door, Leo fished in his pockets for the key. Oh, was this day about to get a lot worse.

Leo found nothing but lint. The lint seemed to be mocking him. He should have expected it though. It was probably the third time this week he's left it somewhere or lost it. Though Leo thinks the lint has been taken them.

He really doesn't like lint.

Leo really hoped Piper was home. He didn't have anything to pick the locks with, having left his tool belt back at Marvin's. And he didn't look to see if her car was there. Well, it was technically theirs.

Leo had brought the truck to Marvin, hoping he would help him fix it up. He found it in a junkyard, which he visited frequently for parts. Leo towed it back to the shop, barrowing the shops tow truck. Getting it there was easy. Fixing it up was a whole nother story.

Leo decided to name the truck Al , after all the incidents he's had with people with that name. He'll spare you the details.

With Al, everything that could go wrong did go wrong; the steering wheel fell off twice. Numerous oil leaks occurred, drenching both him and Marv. The passenger door refused to close. One of the tiers was flat. The list was endless.

Once it was decent (which meant legal to drive), Leo painted it a navy blue. It was originally puke green. Not very appealing.

Piper was iffy about it, but the fact Leo worked on it reassured he a bit. She was happy she didn't have to take the bus or subway. That was, until Al broke down on the way home.

See, Leo and Piper lived in an apartment not far from down town. Not far meaning about 4 miles. So when Murphy broke down ¼ of the way there, Piper wasn't a happy camper.

And the fact that Leo was sick that day and back at the apartment only added. So she was stuck out there on the side of the road waiting for Marvin to arrive.

Ok, back to a miserably Leo.

Leo did the most logical thing. Pounding at the door while calling out for Piper. He was really good at this logical stuff. After 2 minutes of relentless ponding, he sighed and leaned his head on the door.

"I swear to god, Pipes. If you don't open the freaking door in .1 seconds I will break it down with m-" He was cut off by the sudden opening of the door.

Leo stumbled forward, smashing into someone, sending them both to the floor. He quickly looked down to see kaleidoscope eyes glaring at him. He smiled sheepishly, rubbing his neck with the hand that wasn't supporting him.

"You gonna get up, Valdez?" Piper smiled in spite of her self. He was prone to injury. Piper had about 3 first aid kits lying around in case.

Leo stood up, extending his had to the girl below him.

"Sorry, Beauty Queen."

Before Piper took Leo's hand, she noticed the scorched pant leg. She glanced up to the mechanic. What had he done this time, she thought.

Piper gently lifted the burnt fabric, hoping he wasn't too injured. To her surprise though, Piper found no marks. She threw Leo a confused glance.

"Told you these where my lucky pants." He muttered, upset they were damaged.

Piper sighed and walked back to the living room after she stood. Leo followed close behind, plopping down one the worn couch. She entered to kitchen and grabbed a Mello Yello for herself and a Dr. Pepper for Leo.

As she entered the living room, she tossed Leo his drink. He happily drank the fizzy beverage. Suddenly, the silence was broke by a loud burp.

"Is that a challenge, Valdez?" Piper raised an eyebrow at her friend. Leo's face broke into an impish grin.

"I believe it is, Pipes." He said, "And its not like you can beat me."

"Oh really? And why is that?"

"Cause I'm Flaming Valdez! The Leoster! Repair Boy! And-" Piper cut him off before he could continue. His ego was boiling.

"After today, I'd say you were definitely Flaming Valdez." Leo blushed at the reminder of the day's earlier events.

"Whatever. Can I beat you already?"

And so they resumed their burping. 6 cans later; they were leaning against each other, laughing. Leo wouldn't admit it, but Piper won. By a millimeter though.

After a while of laughing (Leo even giggled), they calmed down a bit. Leo would randomly laugh every once and a while. Then he started to doze off, only to jerk awake suddenly.

Piper remembered why she never let Leo near caffeine.

And scene.

Some of you may be wondering as to why I started where I did instead of from the beginning. And its cause I wanted to.

And sorry if there's any mistakes…. I need a beta…

Please review and tell me what you think. I welcome criticism, just don't insult my work. I don't take kindly to it.

Why does Liper not have more shippers? Oh, well. I hope to rope in some more with this story.

And the Liper ship will grow to be a great vessel! I'm getting carried away again…
