So the reviewers voted and it gives me great pleasure to introduce Chapter two!

Piper

Piper woke up with a flushed face."No, Leo."

See, she's been having these,dreams of her life before Jason. Lets just say she had an idea the one she had the previous night must've been the last of had no desire to go into the dream in detail, but to give a summary, she and Leo were going out. They were in love. The possibilities were endless, then with a blinding light the queen of the gods changed all now knew why Leo hated her, well honestly everyone does.

"Stupid Hera." She grumbled when she made her way to the dining hall.

She plunked down next to Jason, and mumbled "Morning."

"Bad dreams?" Hazel asked concerned.

Piper just shrugged and picked at the oats in front of her.

"So guys... The quest. Our course, Leo?" Jason asked after an awkward silence.

"Well thanks to the first night of rest I've had, I can start with a fresh brain today, but the course is already worked out, we'll be going on sea less since... "He paused for a second to look at the two empty chairs at the head of the table where Annabeth would now be arguing with Percy because he was eating pizza for breakfast."And I've given Festus some new upgrades for safety."He finished quickly.

"Eh, ok. Hazel, how's Nico doing?"Jason asked.

Hazel's face seemed to grow older in a matter of milliseconds,"He-"

"Doing a bit of gossiping are we?"Nico said sitting in Annabeth's old place.

"Haha yes Nico, we were just wondering what stilettos you would wear today? You know, so we don't wear the same things."Leo said to Nico winking at him and gesturing to his feet.

"Leo, this is serious. Nico, how are you? Are you feeling okay?" Piper asked, she didn't want Leo making jokes, or even talking, it just made her so confused.

"Besides the terrifying visions, powerful hallucinations, I'm okay." He said.

"Well then. Leo, we're going to be in the sea today right?" She asked trying to keep the blush from her face when she looked at him.

"Mh hmm." He said.

"Ok Nico. Looks like I'm going to teach you how to fish!" She said. Nico nearly choked on his food.

"What?"He asked staring at her in horror as if she had just proposed they go dye Hades' hair pink.

"Oh, yes Mr. di Angelo now eat up!" Piper said grinning at him.

"Fine." Nico grumbled and he started eating his omelette as slowly as he could.

Nearly ten minutes later Piper was decked out in her fishing gear- She and her dad went fishing once- fortunately Percy also had a fishing pole in his room (Leo had taken the liberty of moving it from his cabin at camp to his cabin here.) So she was ready for her attempt to cheer Nico up. Nico was lounging in a chair on the deck, he was still wearing his black jeans/shirt/jacket."Nonononononono! Frank! I can't work with this! Go fix him!" Piper ordered Frank.

"Yes, madame." Frank said all too happy to embarrass Nico.

Nico shot her a death glare.

"Ahh, Beauty Queen strikes again!" Leo said from behind her, sending a shower of chills down her back and a army of butterflies in her belly.

"Aw, buzz off Leo!" please?

"I'd love to, Pipes, but you know Festus gets kinda lonely up here and- aw who am I kidding? Nico, fishing? This I gotta see!" He said grinning at her, in that annoyingly cute way.

"Oh, you evil, evil boy." She said. Frank! What on earth is taking you so darn long?!

"Aw, but you still love me don't you?" you have no idea.

"No, now go play with your tools or take a nap! I have a mission of utmost importaincy."

"How you hurt me!"Leo said putting his hand over his heart mockingly.

Piper was about to say something genius back, when Nico said,"Frank, I swear when you die. I am personally going to punish your soul."

"Haha nice try buddy, but you gotta come out." Franks voice said and he pushed Nico onto the deck, he was wearing, blue beach shorts and a white and blue striped tank top., if they just got to shaving his hair a bit shorter he'd be a real looker.

"Come on Nico, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of fishing!" Piper said, taking his hand and leading him to the side of the ship, where she had set the things out.

"Now take this." Piper handed him her rod.

"Do I have to?"

"Yes." Piper picked up Percy's Deep sea fishing rod and examined it. About an hour later they both had their rods in the water, they had used bread for bait, so they could catch small fish and then use the small fish as bait. Piper told Nico to hold her rod while she set up the chairs. Then Piper took her rod back and sat down.

"Nico, you know you can sit down too?"

"No, what if the I get a bait?"

"Then you jump up and bring it in."

"But what if I'm too late?"

"Then it's not the fish's time to go."

"Oh." He said then he sat down, his butt just touched the seat when his rod jerked hard.

"AHHH! WHAT NOW?" He said panicking.

"Jerk backwards and catrol in!" Piper said trying not to laugh. He did as instructed,

" It must be a shark! This thing is huuuuuuge!"

"Stop whining and catroll!"

"I am! It's a Great White, I'm sure!" He said through clenched teeth.

"Then catrol harder!"

"It's almost at the end!"

"Good."

He then catrolled faster and swung the the fish that was definitly not a great white, into Piper's line of vision.

"Wow! It seems as if your Great White has replaced itself with a Striped Red Mullet."Leo mused from where he was steering.

"Ha-ha, Leo laugh all you want, at least I caught a fish!"

"Great, and now I'll show you how to clean it and use it as bait." Piper said.

"Do I have to?"

Later that night all six of them sat around a campfire on deck(which Leo had constructed on a metal sheet with bricks [don't even ask where Leo had got them from] packed neatly around the burning logs) eating the Sea Bass, Piper and Nico had caught. They were sitting in a circle, Piper, Jason, Frank, Hazel, Leo and Nico. Nico was still wearing the blue outfit and he was laughing and sinning right along with the rest of them, Nico's mood had been getting better ever since, he accidentally pulled out a bunch of seaweed and it slapped Leo in the face.

It was certainly a day to remember.

"Well guys, I think I'm gonna hit the sack! Thanks Pipes for the lesson, we should do it more often!"Nico said giving Piper a one arm hug.

"Sure Nico! Tomorrow you pick our activity!" Piper teased and Nico smiled - a real smile - and got up and bade them a good night.

"Shift up a bit Pipes,please, my feet are asleep."Jason asked. Piper shifted to her right until Jason was satisfied and then she realised she was sitting right next to Leo.

"Okay kids, I think it's time for some ghost stories!" Leo said dramatically.`

"Sure!" They all agreed.

"I'll go first, Connor and Travis Stoll told me this one." Leo said and he made the fire glow eerily weak.

"Thousands of years ago, there was a girl named Peoni, she had a best friend, named Varos. Varos and Peoni, faught wars together and were heroes together, the best of friends if you've ever seen a pair. But poor Peoni fell hopelessly in love with Varos, when he saved her from marrying an old priest of some stuffy old god or something, when he gave him poisoned apples to eat, see Peoni and Varos' parents were both very importaint people in ancient Greece and they had been betrothed at birth, but now that Varos had killed Peoni's betrothed, she was free to marry anyone of her liking, which of course she would have wanted it to be Varos. "If I cannot marry him, then I shan't marry another." she had decided, but Varos couldn't marry anyone, because his betrothed still walked the earth. Peoni then decided to find her and finish her once and for all. So one night she got Varos very drunk and asked him her whereabouts, he didn't know since they were never to meet their betrothed until the day of marrige-"

"Leo, when is the scary part coming?" Jason asked.

"Shhhhhh!"Piper scolded.

"Fine."Jason said and he put his arm around her.

"Any way. So Peoni decided to wait until his wedding day. It wasn't a week later that a princess from a faraway land came into their kingdom and Peoni and Varos became good friends with her, though Varos more than Peoni, for one night when they were counting armour he told Peoni, "Peoni, my friend since birth, my guide in battles, you have known me, you have seen me grow in this world, but never have you seen me love."

"No, Varos, I have not."

"But, I have come to love the fair Princess, more than anyone I've ever met and if you will, my honoured and great friend, find my betrothed and kill her, so I can marry the princess."

Oh, dear Peoni was wounded, in her heart, it was a pain worse than any injury she had gotten in any war and little did Varos know that Peoni already knew who his betrothed was. But the poor girl agreed none-the-less. The pair had gone to battle the week after, it was a hard battle, though Peoni and Varos faught like beasts, side by side and back to back. Only a few enemies were left. When an awful bull-man(minotaur) threw a spear at Varos' back and Peoni jumped in front of him taking the spear in her stomach. Soon the battle was won and Varos had not taken notice of the dying Peoni. Though soon, he called that they search for survivors, while he go speak to Peoni in her tent(where he thought she was) he was almost there when one of his men called him to come quickly. He rushed over to the place where a few soldiers were crowded, there at their feet, lay a sight he thought he'd never have to witness. His best friend, his comrade, his guide, lay there with a spear through her armour.

"My friend, Peoni, can you hear me?"

he asked and took her in his arms, right there on the ground.

"Yes, I can, though my time is almost over."

she managed to say.

"LEAVE US!"

Varos bellowed at his men when he felt the water gather in his eyes, they were not to see him sob.

"Varos, your betrothed. She is near death."

"Who is she, my dear friend?"

"She was a great woman, who faught may battles and loved you dearly,but alas, she never knew, the one she was betrothed to lied and she was really betrothed to you and when she found out her heart was filled with love and joy, but she will now never feel your love, for which she had craved so long."

"What was her name my dear?"

"Her name was Peoni, it was I Varos, but I will go soon, as you wished, so you may marry the princess."

and believe me. Varos' heart broke when she spoke those words, he knew she must've taken the spear for him and he knew now, now that it was too late, that he loved her too.

"I love you my Peoni."

he whispered to her, but it was too late, she died, not knowing that her one and only love also loved her.

And this the fact that she didn't know made her a ghost, made her come back as a spirit for revenge, for if it wasn't for the princess, she would have married Varos, so each night when it was dark and the princess was asleep in her bed with Varos, Peoni would come and cry for the one she lost, until one day when she managed to posess a servant girl, she crept up the stairs to the princess' bedroom, knife in hand, every creak of the wooden boards beneath her feet, every breath she took and every curse she muttered beneath her breath, was with the voice of Zelos- the demon of envy/jealousy- she stood next to the princess' sleeping form, she looked at her beloved Varos, who never loved her, she brought her knife above her head when BOOM!" Everyone screamed at this, Hazel hit Leo in the face (accidentally) and was now saying sorry and going mad over him, which made Piper kinda mad and irritated.

"Sorry, to break up the flirting session, but what happened next?" She said, Frank glared at Leo, Hazel blushed and Leo chuckled.

"Well she killed the princess and only after Varos' death found out that he had loved her."

"Oh."

"Well then, night guys. I'm off to bed, see you all tomorrow!"Jason said, kissed Piper on the head and left.

"Yeah, I think I'll go too, night."Hazel said and followed.

"Me too. Goodnight."Frank said and trailed after Hazel.

Piper got up and walked to the side of the boat looking down at the waves crashing against the hull of the Argo II.

"Whats the matter Pipes?" Leo asked, standing next to her.

"Nothing." too many things Leo, please leave.

"C'mon Beauty Queen, you know you can't hide anything from me."

"No Leo please. Just- just go." She said in a small voice.

The idiot then put a hand on her shoulder,"Pipes, you can tell me anything you know?"

"Not this."

He turned her around to look at him,"Beauty Queen. I am not going to leave until you tell me who's pants I have to set on fire or which words I have to ban the world from speaking ever again."

She didn't answer, she just looked at him and he seemed to realise she couldn't tell him, so he hugged her, to him it was just a hug, to her, it meant the world, it reminded her of the Wilderness days where he would hug her like this.

"Well then, why don't you go catch a few z's, I still have a few things to do here."

She nodded and pulled away from him and walked down to her cabin. Later that night she lay on her bed, thinking, Who would've thought that Leo Valdez, would steal my heart. But no. I can't let Jason down. My heart belongs to him. I have to keep my mind off Leo, use my time to help Nico and to be a girlfriend to Jason. Yes. I can do it easy peasy, I hope.

Hey guys! Silly chapter, I know! fortunately I have been doing some research and I have a couple of good monsters/demons coming the crew's way and I would love to hear your opinions on when the two should confess their feelings and any other suggestions you may have, constructive criticism is appreciated! I'll try to update regularly.

Thanks to all my reviewers who made this story possible!
