I have replaced chapter nine's AN with an actual chapter, so yea…

Hey, sorry if this chapter is too serious. Also, give a round of applause to ANIME PRINCESS! This idea was from this amazing fanfiction user, and if it wasn't for her, (sorry if you're a guy though, but if you are, why the word "princess" in the penname?) you would be stuck with a horrible chapter. One that's even worse than this one.

To those who care about the Jiper or Jeyna situation, I have a poll set up for it one my profile, so yea…right now it's a tie, so if you have a preference, vote!

Okay, now I will allow you to read my horribly written chapter with an amazing idea!

Disclaimer: Do I really need to say it?

Jason's P.O.V.

Jason could hear the jokes made about him and the girl he was liplocked with, but ignored them since knew something was up with the girl as soon as he kissed her. The last time, she was soft and free, but now, she was restrained-stiff. He had just figured this out when Reyna pulled away-too quickly for Jason's liking-and said in a grave voice, "Dinner is over. We have new information on the foe we will be facing." (I'm not sure if those were the exact words…..too lazy to check…..)

They once again entered the Senate house, and many were confused on why a meeting had to be held. Reyna stood up, and Jason was about to follow, when he remembered that he was no longer praetor. He sat down quickly, as his podex (Hey, this is rated K, and I have no other way to say it without being sure it's allowed!) was already halfway off the seat. His eyes traveled to Percy, who gave a small nod, to show that it was alright for Jason to participate as a leader. Jason smiled at that- he and Percy had become great friends after the fight, and he had learned much about him. He knew that there was no way that Percy had made stories about himself- he hated the attention.

Jason walked up to them, and many whispers arose at this. Reyna took a sideways glance at him and announced, "He may approach. This information has a great deal to do with him."

Jason tilted his head to the side-confused-, and opened his mouth to speak when Reyna's glare told him to shut up. He stood straight and proud- like a true roman- and he couldn't help but notice that Percy's posture. His chin was in his left hand, showing boredom, and his right arm hung limply on the other side.

Jason nearly tsked at that, but he knew that Percy had gone through enough stress as it is, and more information usually meant more bad news.

Reyna sighed, before delivering her message in that proud, clear voice of hers, "The foe that the 4 people of the prophecy will be facing is Aeucus, son of Jupiter, king of the Island Aegina, and was a judge for Hades after death."

"Wait!" shouted a new camper who clearly didn't understand the consequences of interrupting Reyna, "What do you mean was a judge for Hades? If he died, wouldn't he be stuck with that position forever?"

Reyna looked over to the direction where the roman had spoken and said, "That is our reason for this meeting. My sources tell me that Gaea has brought him back from the underworld."

Jason was confused and questioned, "But what in the name of Jupiter does it have anything to do with me?"

Reyna glared at him. At least the kid who had interjected before was new, but Jason had no excuse-he had been there for 8 years, (Not sure if this was the correct amount of years…) plus, he was even praetor before. He wasn't exactly showing a good example at the moment.

She muttered under her breath, something like," No good interrupters…..need to consult with Lupa about punishment…."

Before saying, "Well, Aeucus has a grudge against Juno. The history behind this was that Juno was enraged by her husband's infidelity, and caused a plague to destroy Aeucus and his kingdom. Jupiter turned his son and his men into Myrmidons, giant ants, to save them. You guys know that he had become a judge for the dead after his death so I'll skip to why he is most likely targeting Jason. Gaea has brought him back from the dead, correct? Well, the earth goddess had also brainwashed him into hating Jason since he had the blessing of both Jupiter, being his son, and Juno, being her champion. "

Percy sat up straighter and said, "We must be prepared for departure. We shall leave tomorrow, when Apollo's chariot just starts its journey (Really early in the morning). We can't endanger the camp with the presence of Jason," Jason inwardly winced at the thought of being a threat to camp, "or me since I destroyed more than one of her sons."

Percy took a quick look at Jason and gave a miniscule wink, letting Jason know that he wasn't going to be the only one shunned for being a danger to camp. Jason felt a lot better and also a bit guilty for ever thinking he was better or higher than Percy.

Leo stood up and said, "Or me, I would most likely burn the entire camp before they even get back, so Aquaman here" he jabbed a finger to Percy's direction "can keep me in check during the quest."

Everyone swiveled their heads to Frank, waiting for him to tell his reason. Said roman blushed under the attention and struggled to find his answer, "Umm….err…..I-I want to check out the ice creams there!" Many Roman's slapped their foreheads, but Percy and Leo seemed to nod their heads. Percy announced, 'I declare this a proper reason! We may come across many rare ice creams during this quest!" \

Reyna sighed, mumbled, "Idiots", and replied, "Okay, so we all know that they were going on the quest (duh), but now we have valid…..err…important reasons I suppose."

"The questers must also rescue M.I.A. Nico di Angelo, bond over this quest, to show more unity between the Greeks and Romans, and kick Octavian's sorry little-"

"Reyna," Percy interrupted (much to Reyna's dislike), "Language! We have kids here!" He gestured to Leo.

Leo was absently nodding his head before he realize that Percy was implying to him and said, "Hey!"

Though many Romans were also agreeing, Jason even mused, "Yea, that is true…."

Leo pouted a bit, but eventually gave up since nobody was giving in to his puppy-dog face.

"Alright," Percy shouted, "meeting adjourned! He then made a curtain of water vapor, like a magician using smoke to disappear, except when the mist cleared, it only showed a stupid-looking Percy in a…toilet pose?

Someone in the back coughed, "Fail." And Percy's face turned a bright red, bringing even the Are's cabin's bloody crimson to shame.

Everyone there burst out laughing, very similar to the tangle issue during dinner. Even Reyna cracked, a small snicker escaping her defined lips.

Jason looked at Percy's face once more, and saw through the mask of red, a relieved expression. Jason knew that this was simply an act to get people to relax right after given such imposing news, a chance for the campers to laugh in the middle of a soon-to-be war. Actually, Jason was pretty surprised that he understood Percy so well- it was just that the Kelp Head (As Thalia put it) was so open, so trusting.

Slowly, everyone filed out, Jason joining them. He raced over to the Argo II, and prepared his stuff for the upcoming quest.

Jason knew-somehow-that somebody wasn't coming back from their trek. The scary thing was; he thinks he knows who it is.

Percy's P.O.V.

Percy had planned his "mistake" so that the other Romans could just…be normal and laugh for once. He saw Jason's face earlier, when they said that the new foe would most likely be after Jason, and he knew the kid was scared. Percy had purposely added himself as a threat, to reassure the guy some more. He was glad to know the other two had caught on, and placed in their reasons, though Frank's was both off topic, and brilliant.

But the most surprising for Percy was after he had performed his "mishap", he saw Jason's face full of understanding. He thought that he had put up a pretty good act-even timing himself perfectly to hold his breath the exact amount of time during the water vapor, so he could have a red face that wasn't purple or slightly pink.

I guess I'm just an open book to some people, Percy thought.

Once everyone was gone, he raced to the infirmary, and-to his relief-he saw Annabeth still sleeping (well, unconscious) soundly under a thin, linen blanket, his present still propped on the desk beside her. He was glad she wasn't awake because then, she would almost have no chance to stop him. He needed to do this quest, and something almost….compelled him to do so. He gave a small smile at her slumbering figure before slipping out silently.

Somehow, time had managed to speed up, and he was met by the cold, crisp air of the night, a refreshing feeling after being crowded by a ton of sweaty Romans that had just come back from dinner with hot, stinky breath (shiver). The moon shone brightly above, giving comfort to Percy since he knew that the moon was ahead of its usual schedule, and this was Artemis' way to show her encouragement in a way that would not interfere with Zeus' orders. He also acknowledged the fact on how hard it was for the goddess to show her reinforcement when it was distributed to four males.

Huh, Percy thought, she must still be pissed at me for saving her a couple years back. Well, at least she showed her appreciation like this, and not turning me into a jackolope…

Percy jogged to the beach, one of his favorite places, and sat onto the shifting sand, the waves pounding to the rhythm of his heart, fast and strong. Percy stared at the ocean, and his eyes drifted to the starry, twilight sky. He made a silent prayer to Zeus and Poseidon for safe passage through the seas and sky. He stood up and made his way to his cohort, before turning around and saying,

"I won't disappoint you father and Lady Athena. I will keep the world and Annabeth safe with everything I have. After all, they're the only things that matter.

Well, this is my story chapter!

Alright, I only have one review, and it was by PM, so I have already answered by PM…

PLEASE READ THE BOTTOM AN! (Well, unless you're Anime Princess because you've heard all this stuff before when I PMed you….)

I won't beg for reviews, but please do or PM me if ya have ANY suggestions or criticism toward my story! Tell me what you want Percy to give to Annabeth next chapter! Or what activities they do to bond together more. Or the monsters they face. Or the new powers I will give to Percy! Should I make Percy tell them his story? (Or maybe make another story with them reading the series during this quest?)

Should I make a new story? And if yes, what kind?

Does anyone have any Percy Jackson stories they recommend for me? Cause I'm running dry…..

And on that happy note, I bid you good night world!
