A/N: Well, it's my first time. Not writing, just writing here :) Anyway, please read and leave a review, tell me what you think.

Jason I
AS JASON LOOKED DOWN AT CAMP JUPITER, he couldn't help but to jump with enthusiasm. All of his friends were down there: Hazel, Dakota, and Reyna. He couldn't wait to see them again, especially Reyna. He realized he was blushing and hoped Piper wasn't looking, which of course she was.
"Umm, something bothering you Jason?" She asked.
"No," he lied. "I'm just a little overwhelmed. Seeing my friends again, and this camp, it just makes me…"
"I understand," Piper interrupted. Jason felt a little bad, because he knew Piper didn't know what was going on. He did still have feelings for Reyna, and now he felt like he was caught in a situation that, no matter what, would end badly.
When the Argo II landed, there was a little tension at first, but then the Romans greeted the Greeks, except for Octavian, of course.
"Hey, Octavian," Jason said with a smirk.
"Hello, traitor," Octavian grumbled. That was pretty much the whole conversation. Then Jason saw Reyna and they ran to meet one another. When they hugged, everyone began to cheer. Then Jason remembered that Piper was a part of that crowd, and let go of Reyna.
"I can't believe you're really here," said Reyna.
"Me neither," replied Jason. "But before we catch up, we should probably start planning our little trip."
"Yeah, you're probably right. I think Percy had wanted us to come down to the Senate House to discuss that…little trip."
"Ok, let's head down there." Reyna and Jason got everyone into the Senate House, and then Percy began to speak.
"Ok, Romans, Greeks, we haven't really understood what Juno/Hera has been trying to do until this point, and now her plan is beginning to make sense. Be that as it may, I still want to give her a nice goddess-sized smack upside the head." There were a few chuckles at that remark.
"Now," Percy continued, "Piper, Jason, Leo, Hazel, Frank, Annabeth, and I will be the ones going on—"
"Wait a minute," Octavian interrupted. "Why do 4 Greeks get to go when only 3 Romans get to go?" Jason could see Octavian was just trying to cause trouble to make Percy look bad, which no one needed. Luckily, Percy realized it too.
"Do any of you have a problem with this lineup?" he asked the Senate. No one seemed to, but of course Octavian didn't give up so easily.
"I have an idea," Octavian said confidently. "We could play a war game to decide which camp gets the 7th spot—"
"Shut up, Octavian," chided Reyna. "We all see right through you." But the problem was that not everyone did. The Romans began to chant, "War game! War game! War game!"
"All right, fine. We will have a FRIENDLY war game, but it will decide nothing. As for the quest, the lineup is set, as long as the Senate agrees." They all nodded. "Ok," Reyna continued. "We will have a war game tonight, right after dinner. Since the 5th Cohort won last time, they will defend, along with the visiting Greeks and the 4th cohort. Dakota, Gwendolyn, do you want Jason or Percy on your side?"
"We'll take Percy," they said simultaneously. Jason was a little offended that they wanted Percy more, but he was glad that he got to play offense. He saw his opponents go off and work on building the fort for tonight's match. "Ok, give the defenders until 5:00 pm to set up. Then you all will have one hour to eat dinner. Then we will meet on the Field of Mars. Good luck to all!" Reyna said. "Senatus Populusque Romanus!"
The rest of the legion relayed the cheer right back.
