Hey, so, I hope you guys reviewed if you like my story so far, or if you hate it, or whatever. Constructive criticism is very much appreciated; flamers will get what's coming to them! Okay, so let's start! Oh, wait disclaimer. I don't own PJO or HOO. Happy? Okay, NOW let's go!

Piper's POV

Chiron turned to Rachel expectantly. She stood up, and I could see the nervousness etched on her face. She sat down again and waited.

All of a sudden, she jerked. Her eyes opened scarily, and she began to speak a prophecy.

"You will go to the cruise of happy and joy

And realize it no more than a simple ploy

Ruins shall fall from a moment of bliss

All breaks yet fix by a passionate kiss."

I shivered. I could see Annabeth across the room already trying to figure out the meaning. Rachel collapsed on the couch, and Nico quickly tended to her. After a few moments, she regained consciousness.

"What did I say this time?" Rachel questioned, after seeing our worried faces.

Jason repeated it to her.

"I'm sorry I can't decode it for you." Rachel apologized.

"You wouldn't be the oracle if you could." Percy pointed out.

Rachel smiled. "I guess that's true."

Annabeth suddenly frowned. "Wait, this is the same cruise that

Leo, Grover, Percy, and I were just on?"

"Yes." Chiron confirmed.

"So, it's with the same captain?" Annabeth continued.

Percy suddenly seemed to get what she was saying and burst out laughing. "She means, it is the same totally-not-able-to-steer-a-ship-because-passengers-keep-falling-off-the-side-and-by-passengers-we-specifically-mean-Annabeth captain?"

"Unfortunately, yes, it's the same captain. However, he now has a first mate who was a captain for a while, so he shouldn't have too many blunders this time." Chiron explained.

"I just had a thought." Hazel spoke up. "How should Nico, Jason, Thalia and I be able to go on the boat? We're kids of Lord Neptune-well, Poseidon's two brothers. Won't he sink us?"

"It's magic." Chiron replied simply. "Not even a god can interfere with this kind of old magic. As long as you children stay on the boat, and don't decide to go swimming with the dolphins or anything, you'll be safe. Well, as safe as you can be on a magical boat with mythical creatures that has all of its safety and nonviolence rules revoked."

"That's really a vivid way of making us want to go." Percy mumbled.

Leo snickered. "Yeah, Chiron has a great way of doing that."

Everyone laughed nervously.

"When do we leave?" Annabeth asked.

"You'll leave tomorrow." Chiron answered.

We all stood up.

"Remember, you're going undercover as a human family, so you come to the Big House tomorrow after breakfast, and we'll remove your demigod scent and change you up so you can actually pass for a family." Chiron suddenly smiled, and I got the feeling I wasn't going to be looking forward to whatever he had in mind.

"I hope it's not painful." Nico murmured.

I saw Hazel squeeze Frank's hand. They were really cute together, and it was obvious they had chemistry. No, that wasn't the inner-Aphrodite I have, that was me, Piper McLean. It's really true; I'm sure their meant for each other. And thank the gods, Aphrodite didn't decide to mess with their hearts and set them up with some ridiculous love triangle that we all originally thought was going to happen. No, Frank and Hazel were meant for each other.

We filed out of the big house, and I located Jason. He was waiting for me outside.

"Hey, Piper." He smiled at me, and my heart fluttered. Unlike what most people think, Aphrodite kids don't automatically know what to say or do to make people fall in love with them. We do actually have to work to steal someone's heart. Dang! Now I'm talking like a magazine!

"Hi, Jason." I murmured. I slipped my hand into his, and we started for my cabin. I wasn't exactly proud of the pink that was everywhere, or the gagging smell of perfume, but as leader, it would have to do. I can't change everything, you know.

We silently walked, both of us drowning in our own separate thoughts. I was worried about how Drew would tyrannize the Aphrodite cabin while I was away, but I knew that they could take it. We may seem weak, but we're just as strong as the Athena kids, or Hermes cabin.

At least, I hope so.

I hope you guys liked it. Please review and tell me if you want me to add anything, like if you really want to see, IDK, Annabeth falling into the ocean and Percy saving her or something, just let me know and I'll try to stick it somewhere! Thanks for reading, it really means a lot to me.
