Jason

Jason's dreams were untouched, luckily. He went to sleep easily for the first time in days. He was half expecting some crazy god to appear or something, but no psychopath dude came.

When he woke up the next morning, he felt better than he had during the past week.

"Hey Jason." Piper said, hugging him.

"Hey Pipes. What's up?"

"Nothing. Why, does there have to be something up for me to hug you?" Jason grinned.

"Nope." She pulled back for a second.

"You look better."

"Yeah, I got some sleep yesterday—I guess Gaea's giving me a rest." She bit her lip in thought. Her hair was braided down her back, with a flower holding together the strands. She wore a T-shirt and jeans, and even though she was trying to look as worse as possible, Jason thought she looked great.

"That's weird," Piper said. "I didn't have any dreams yesterday either. I wonder what's up." Jason put an arm around her waist.

"Whatever it is, I'm going to enjoy it." Piper smiled.

"Maybe it's because you looked scary yesterday." She teased. "Scared away all the monsters in our dreams."

"Hey!" Jason protested, but he was smiling. Piper kissed him.

"I'm joking, thunder boy." Thunder boy? Jason raised an eyebrow. That was a new one. Piper nudged him with her hip.

"Guys? I'm sorry to break up…This," Jason and Piper turned to see Leo. "But everyone's wondering where you are. So...um…yeah." Jason grinned and nodded.

"We'll be there."

When they got to the dining room, everyone looked up at them. Percy was drinking a blue milkshake. Annabeth was eating pizza with olives, and Leo was enjoying another plate of chicken nuggets. Frank was eating noodles and Hazel was finishing up some soup. Everyone looked upbeat and happy.

"About time you got here." Percy said between sips. "You aren't usually late. We were about to call a search or something."

"Says the boy who fell asleep with his girlfriend out of the bunks." Piper shot back. Jason knew what she was referring to. Before, they were all worried because they couldn't find Annabeth and Percy. It turned out they just fell asleep the night before, outside the bunks.

"Well, if you want we can fall asleep in the beds next time," Percy grinned. Hazel started fanning her face with her hands, and Annabeth reddened.

"It's not like we were doing anything. Or would do anything."

"It's okay Annabeth. You can tell us. There are no secrets between us." Leo joked.

"Well, for starters, there was some ki—" Percy started.

"So, why were you two late?" Annabeth interrupted, forcing a smile passed gritted teeth. She was staring daggers at Percy.

"We were talking." Piper said, with a slightly embarrassed look.

"Yeah, I finally had a good rest last night." Jason grinned. "I almost forgot what it feels like."

"That's funny." Annabeth said thoughtfully. "Now that you mention it, I slept pretty easily too."

"It must be some kind of dude of luck." Percy said. "Like, I don't know, peeing happiness on the ship or something." Percy grinned. "Like, Argo II is some big toilet."

"Did you just call my ship a toilet?" Leo asked seriously. "Tell me you didn't."

"So…um…did anyone else have any dreams last night?" Jason said quickly, hopefully preventing Leo from exploding the ship or something.

"No." Percy replied just as quickly, face paling a bit. Piper glanced at her dagger. She must have seen something. Jason watched both of them closely. Annabeth shot Jason a look—she knew Percy was lying.

Jason decided to let it slip. Everyone seemed happy at the very least, so he hated to ruin it by making Percy and Hazel recite some prophecy or something. He would ask Percy later.

"Anyway, I'm on duty." Jason said, standing. "I should be going out." Percy stood too.

"Yeah, I'm not so hungry anymore. You guys continue. I'll go with Jason." Frank waved a fork at them.

"I'll be there in a second, just gotta finish eating." His mouth was full of noodles, so Jason figured he said something along the lines of "I'll eat you in a second, just get finer ethics." Jason stared at him with confusion, but Percy just nodded like he understood the whole thing.

"Sure, Frank, take your time." Jason shrugged it off—Percy probably spent his life eating, so he probably already knew the language like it was his own. Frank nodded and Jason walked out with Percy.
