A/N - Warning about periods, and I do not own PJO/HOO or Girl on Fire.

I was just going about my day, it was a normal day, just like every other- or so I thought.

I was getting ready for my favourite show- Olympus of Heroes, the 5th season was going to start airing in 40 minutes. Since this was the final season, I had to make sure I had everything I needed, from tissue boxes to a lighter to a fire extinguisher.

I snuggled into my blankets, ready to watch 40 minutes of random shows and commercials before the airing. I grabbed the remote- but then stopped as I heard my ring tone.

This girl is on fire-

I groaned as I picked up my phone.

"What do you want?" Piper knew that she should never call me when I'm watching my show.

"I-I need you…" She sounded like she was in a lot of pain, so like any other normal person, I grew concerned.

"What? What do you need?"

"T-To go to the store…"

"Store? To get what?!" I had 35 minutes left, there was no way I could make it to the store and back in time, even if I ran or got an taxi, the traffic in Manhatten was horrible.

"Pads…" Pads?! Like pads for periods?

"P-Pads? Why can't you just get one of your maids or someone else to get it for you?" I groaned once more, my show was starting soon. If I miss the first episode my whole schedule would be thrown off and I wouldn't be able to watch the rest of the season without watching the first episode, I would have to wait until they put it up online, which would take at least a year, I would set my house on fire and then myself.

"Because!-" She groaned in pain. "I am in pain!- and they are busy preparing the party my dad is throwing so I don't want to bother them."

"Well, I am busy too! You know my show is coming on! You know I love you, but I don't have time!"

"Leooooo," She pouted dragging the 'o'. I cursed mentally, she knew I hated when she did that, I could never say no.

"Fine!" I jumped up, throwing the blankets off of me and putting my shoes on as fast as I could.

"Love you!" I heard her say before I hung up. I ran towards the door, grabbing my jacket on the way.

I ran through the hallways of my apartment and down the stairs, into the streets. I waved a taxi over and got in. "Hermes's Drug store," I told the driver the closet store there was. I had 25 minutes left, so if it took 13 minutes via car there with a load of traffic, and then 13 minutes back, 5 minutes inside, I would only miss half of it, I could just estimate what happened during that half. Amazing plan.

I drummed my fingers on the taxi seat, impatient. I check my watch, 20 minutes left, almost there.

As soon as the taxi stopped, I threw my money at the driver and ran into the store. I ran into the feminine hygiene aisle and grabbed Piper's favourite brand, and ran towards the cashier. But before I could make it, I stopped halfway, I've never actually bought pads without Piper before… What if they think I'm weird? Or a girl?

I slowly walked up nervously, I will do it for my show!

I put the box onto the checkout area and watched as the boy, who seemed confused for a bit scan it. "I'm on my period." I spat out before I could think of what I had said, I felt my face heat up in embarrassment, why would I say that?!

Embarrassed of what I had just said I grabbed the box and threw a 5 dollar bill at him and ran out of the store hailing another taxi.

I ran through the hallways of Piper's house, dodging the hustling staff.

I slammed Piper's door open only to see her television on, with the Olympus of Heroes, credit screen playing. I dropped the box that I was holding and onto my knees.

"NOOOOOO!"
