"Leo," Piper whispered, "do you think Jason is gonna hate us after this?"

"Nah," Leo replied, "how could you hate all o' this?" He gestured to himself.

Piper giggled. "Very funny."

When everyone sat down they started the meeting.

"Jason, when you were missing, where were you?"

"On a Wilderness School bus, for a field trip. I had no memory at all. I was…" He cleared his throat, "holding hands with Piper."

The council gasped and Piper blushed. Reyna's good mood suddenly fell through the floor.

"And…" She asked.

"Coach Hedge, a faun, I don't think you know him, was taking us on this field trip. We went out on this skywalk bridge, and a storm spirit, venti, Dylan, he had called himself, tried to capture us. Gleeson Hedge tried to save us, but then got captured by Dylan, instead," Jason continued.

Piper piped up. "Jason can fly!"

The council grinned and nodded again.

"Anyways, we were rescued by Butch, son of Iris, and Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, and they took us to Camp Half-Blood, the Greek demigod camp. Annabeth meantioned something about Percy being missing. After dinner, we sat around a very big campfire, and it was announced that me, Leo, and Piper must go on a quest. So we went on a quest to save Hera, who was captured by Gaia. We rescued her and now we're here," Jason finished.

"I see," Reyna clearly didn't like the fact that Jason had gone on a quest with Piper.

"Percy," I said, "tell us about your journey." I was a little worried about his relationship with Reyna.

"Umm…I guess while I was asleep for eight months, and then when I woke up, Lupa told me that I needed to find Camp Jupiter. So then I did, and I was put in the Fifth Cohort…" Percy shot a dirty look at the council, "which are the Greeks and geeks, although none are Greeks. And I went on a quest with Hazel and Frank, to defeat a giant. We survived, so that's good."

"I see," Reyna said again.

I was pleased that Percy hadn't said anything about Reyna. I spoke up. "I know that to defeat Gaia and her army, us demigods and the gods must come together."

Everyone in the room nodded.

"I don't really feel like having a big meeting, so this meeting is done." Reyna announced.

The council walked out in pairs and I grabbed Percy by his orange t-shirt and swallowed him in another hug. Reyna dragged Jason back to talk to him. Piper looked sullen as she walked with Leo, who looked like he was just taking everything in positively.

Piper's POV:

I have never been so annoyed and sad to walk along Leo. I thought maybe there was nothing going on with Jason and Reyna. I didn't even know Reyna existed until we got here. I guess Jason forgot her, then remembered her. I like the forgot part better.

"Leo," I whispered, "do you think Jason likes Reyna?"

"I don't know!" Leo said. "I'm not a son of Aphrodite, I'm a son of Hephaestus, we don't think like that."

"You're no help." I sighed.

"No, I guess I'm not." Leo said.

Reyna looked back at them and sneered, and when Jason looked over, she quickly transformed it into a smile at him. I officially hate her.

After dinner, which was not as fun as at Camp Half-Blood, we played a game. The Roman's basically creamed us, but hey, we haven't played this before! Don't judge us! Grrr, REYNA! Reyna led the Romans to victory. But Percy fought amazingly when he returned to our side! After, though, Reyna came up to me and Leo arm in arm with Jason, and Jason pulled his arm out right when he saw me! Points for me!

Instead of staying in the Fifth Cohort, because there wasn't any room for all of us, we stayed on the warship. The little cabins on the ship were for each of the Olympians, just like the cabins at camp. I, luckily, got to go with the Athena kids, because none of the other Aphrodite kids cared to come. Yay! They would have just filed their nails all day, especially Drew, who would probably bring a brush to a battle. Well, the Aphrodite campers are kinder than I thought, although obsessed with looks. Did I mention that most models come from the Aphrodite cabin?

Later, I went up to Leo and asked, "Don't you think we should tell them that we need to get started on Greece? We're wasting time!"

"Yeah…but can we relax first?" Leo pleaded.

"No…"

"Yes! Have you even been inside the city? They have a donut shop, a candy shop, an ice cream place, even a chocolate covered bacon shop! And, they have all of these really nice swimming pools and Jacuzzis, and they have a skydiving place in honor of Zeus! There's really awesome restaurants, too!" Leo listed. "Pleeeaaassee?"

"Fine….no! Fine…." I gave in. I was really in the mood for ice cream. Jason walked over to us. Leo quickly went to go get a donut.

"Hey," he said. Finally, he wasn't with Reyna.

"Hi," I replied, feeling annoyed.

"I just wanted to let you know that Reyna and I were never a thing, she just wanted to rub the pretend in your face." Jason continued and took a deep breath. "And anyways, I don't want her, I want—"

"Hey, guys," Leo interrupted while holding two donuts and one half-eaten one. "Whatcha doing?" He said pretendly obliviously.

"Talking…" Jason trailed off.

"Talking about important stuff and you shouldn't have interrupted us!"

"Okay…" Leo winked at me before walking away. He was getting on my nerves.

"Anyways," Jason turned back to me, "like I was saying, I want—"

This time Annabeth came up to us, "Hate to break up this conversation, but it's time for breakfast."

"Great," I said bitterly. I was this close to Jason admitting who he liked, and two times now, someone has to interrupt.

Jason looked at me. "Talk later?"

I nodded.
