Everything has a meaning
Beauty Queen
Leo sighed as he watched Piper and Jason had a picnic together while he was trapped in the Bunker 9 building an airship. Everyone seemed to have a good day at camp, well, less Annabeth and him.
It had been six months since they had saved the queen of the gods of Gaea. Jason and Piper were together, and Leo, well, he was still Leo. He was most of the time only, hidden in the bunker in the middle of the forest with only the company of the head of Festus and Buford.
Festus produced a series of chirps to which Leo had learned to understand. Leo smiled- "Not today Festus, she is busy with Mr. Perfect" -he didn't say it sarcastically, Jason's his best friend, too, but it seemed that he was all for Piper.
She seemed to be blind, not seeing things around, how a friend who needed company, and helps to not go crazy from loneliness. According to Leo, of course.
He remembered one day, two months ago, perfectly. He had been all day locked in the Bunker 9, had not eaten breakfast or lunch and it was almost time for dinner. Piper and Jason had started dating for less than two weeks. He was working in the motor section that day until he heard the sound of a door opening.
"Piper?" -he had asked.
"Umm, no, I'm Annabeth. I thought maybe you might be hungry" -the blonde had said.
"Ohh" -Leo said disappointed.
Then Annabeth had approached him. She had a plate with a burger and a glass of orange juice. "You wanted to see Piper?" -Annabeth had asked Leo with a smile on her face.
"I don't know, I was hoping she would worry a little more about me..." -Leo had shrugged.
"Give her a few more weeks and she will not be more that lovesick girl is now and will be our old Piper"- 'Our old Piper' was repeated in his head.
"Sure..." –he answered- "only a few weeks more"
Annabeth walked to the door and before she left, she had told Leo something he would never forget. "You know Leo, you and I have something in common. Doubts about Jason"- and with that happy note, she was gone.
And now, two months later, Piper was still a lovesick girl and Leo was still waiting for her visit. But, according to Leo, she was still the most beautiful girl in the camp. Yes, Leo had a sort of crush on her, but who doesn't? Her features were soft and delicate; her choppy brown hair was unique, like her eyes. It seemed that all colors danced freely in her eyes.
But that doesn't belong to him. All that beauty was of Jason.
So when, one month later, Piper asked Leo why he called her Beauty Queen, he replied:
"Because everything has a meaning, Beauty Queen"
