Pasts Reveled and Future Holds

In Camp Half-Blood…
Piper
Piper got a major headache. No matter what she did her head hurt. Her Aphrodite half family tried to help but nothing worked. Even Drew had compassion on Piper. So they decided to call Mr. Sunshine. Will said it was fine and that she should have some ambrosia. After the ambrosia, her headache got worse. Jason tried to help but even a son of Jupiter couldn't do anything to make her feel better.
"Come on, we'll bring you to Chiron. He might know what to do." Jason said.
"All right, just wait for me. I'll be there soon." Piper responded.
"I will not leave you. You are coming with me."
"Fine. So much for being nice." Piper muttered.
So Piper gathered all her strength, and walked to Jason. Jason helped support her on one side while Lacy did the same on the other side. But, halfway there Piper fainted.
"Wait for me!" A familiar voice called. She turned to see a Latino boy carrying a controller, books, and a pencil yelling to a young girl with choppy brown hair. "All right, let's go." He said. The young girl just started laughing at him. Right then, Piper realized what was happening. It was a vision of her past before Jason came. But, Piper still didn't understand what was happening. She was confused of the scene she was seeing. She watched as he held the door to class for her. As they disappeared through the doors, Piper chased after them.
When she found the room, she opened the door. It was night, and she was outside. Piper looked for those two and where they were. She was very confused at what was happening. Soon, she heard voices and laughing. So, she did the reasonable thing to do and followed the voices. There were two sellouts on a roof. She remembered this night. This was the night where she had her first kiss with Jason. It was Jason, right?
"You got to admit I'm funny! Right?!" Said Leo.
"Fine. I'll agree." Piper said.
"Then say it, say it, say it. I know you want to." Leo chided.
"Ok then, your funny."
"Point for Leo!"
"Oooh! Look at the stars!" Piper exclaimed.
"Make a wish now Pipes."
"Stop calling me 'Pipes'."
"Ok. Shall I have this dance?"
"You may sir." Piper said with a smile. As they danced the stars shone brightly and it seemed as if they were singing to them. Then they kissed. The scene changed right then. Piper looked around and saw that she was on a bus. Then in the back a voice yelled. "Are we there yet?"
"Quite Leo! The coach is not a reasonable person to deal with. Remember when you did this last time!?"
"Fine, be that way. I'm going to take a nap."
"I might take a nap as well."
Soon all the bus was sleeping. Then a beautiful woman appeared on the bus. She held a dark purple spark in her hand. She moved Leo from where he was sitting next to her. She moved him behind her instead. There she laid the spark next to her and it started to grow. She chanted some words and the spark turned into a boy with blonde hair and a purple faded shirt. With a snap of her fingers everyone woke up and she disappeared.
Jason
"Help! Help!" Piper just fainted and I couldn't find Chiron. "What is all this commotion about?" Chiron grumbled. The only words that would come out of my mouth is gibberish. "Hfghrkjghnfjhfjrgha!" Chiron saw Piper and motioned me and Lacy to follow him. He led us to a nurse room. Well, it looked like a nurse room. So Lacy and I set her down on one of the beds.
"Lacy, can you please call Will?" Chiron asked the innocent girl.
"Course, though we already tried. But, we can still try again." Lacy said with a smile.
Man that girl is optimistic 24/7. How can you stay happy for that long? With all this stuff going on. Like, how Drew dumped another guy. Or, how Annabeth got hyper with just M&Ms, cookies, hot chocolate, and books. She was creepy that way. How can Percy stand her? Then Chiron turned to me.
"Now for you my boy-"But, before Chiron could continue I interrupted.
"Don't make me leave! She needs me! Even though she may be asleep, she needs me!"
"Well, I never said that you had to leave."
"Has this happened before?" I asked.
"Maybe."
"Maybe. Maybe! MAYBE! I am not taking "maybes" for a chance. Simple question. Yes or no."
"Yes."
"WHAAT! This happened before and you didn't thought of telling me first! That hurt."
"Let me tell you. Well-"
But before he could start the story, Will entered. Then Piper woke up. She looked scared, confused, and sad. I don't know how that worked, but it did. Then the silence kept going until, Mr. Sunshine jumped up and said, "WILL HAS DONE IT AGAIN! YEAH! No one? No one's with me? Man that hurt everyone, hurt."
Piper spoke up to Chiron and said, "Do any of you have a drachma I could use or borrow?" Everyone looked around and in their pockets. I know I have some I thought. Then I check my pockets and found nothing. The next thing I know, I hear laughter out the window. "STOLLS!" So I ran out the room and chased them all the way to the forest. I flew up and found them. Cornered them and got my money back.
So I ran back to the big blue house and looked for the same room. Then I found them. "Hey, where's Piper?"
"Umm… I don't know? Do any of you guys know? Will said.
Charmspeak I thought. She must've used Charmspeak. So I went outside and looked for her. I found her behind the stables in the middle of an IM. I knew it was dangerous but I stayed and listened.
Rachel
I have to find one of the seven. Chiron? No, he's too far. Percy? Nah, pretty sure he's with Annabeth somewhere in the city. Leo? Dead, forgot. Hazel? Nope, in California with Frank. Piper? Said she needed to be alone. Jason? Where is he? Found him! So I ran all the way to the stables.
"Jason. I need you-"
"Sshh!" He whispered.
So I dragged him away and said, "Were you eves drooping?"
"Maybe."
"Get ready to catch me. Weird favor but can you do that? Good."
"Rachel, what are you-"Jason sputtered. But before Jason could finish his sentence, Rachel said the next big prophecy.
"The Children of death shall come and unite.
The seven and four shall join on that night.
To fight the one that will soon rise.
And save some souls won by a prize."
