Two hours late, but the next chapter is here! So at the beginning, I said I'd have two or three chapters of each couple so the couples I think are going to have three chapters are Frazel and Percabeth. To me, those couples are easier to write and I feel they still have some story material.

6 Months Later

Piper was so close to closing up when a blond guy walked in. Piper groaned silently; she just wanted to go home and relax after a long night.

She turned around. "It's midnight. We're closed." Then, she saw the boy with the blond hair.

Jason Grace.

"Oh, hey Jason," Piper said.

"Hi," Jason said. He seemed disoriented, glancing all over the place, his eyes slightly wild.

"Why are you here this late?" Piper asked.

Jason groaned. "It was dumb, it was so dumb. Never mind, I should probably go-"

"No, it's fine, you can stay. Sit," Piper said, gesturing to a table.

Jason obeyed and sat down. Piper hopped over the counter and sat on the other side of the booth.

"What's bothering you?" Piper asked.

"How do you know something is bothering me?" Jason countered.

"You look disoriented. You seem upset, or maybe confused."

Jason sighed. "I really don't want to burden you with my problems."

"I said it's fine! Now, go ahead, tell me."

"It's going to be a long story."

"I have time."

Jason took a deep breath. "Okay, it all started with the car crash. That damn car crash. It ruined my life. After that, people would only give me sympathy or ignore me.

"Most of my friends stood by me, though. Six months after the car crash, I realized I liked my friend, Reyna. It took me a while, but I asked her out and we became boyfriend and girlfriend."

Piper listened intently. Her heart hurt when he talked about Reyna and she almost winced when he said, "Most of my friends stood by me."

"Reyna said yes, of course. Apparently she's liked me since we first met. We did everything together for a while. We went on dates, texted each other every single day. We even took sparring lessons together. We were the best in the beginner class." Jason had a small grin on his face.

Piper was not exactly pleased. Had she really agreed to listening to her crush go on and on about how much he loves his girlfriend? She took a deep breath. Maybe there's a point to this, she thought.

"Reyna and I have been going out for six months now. I felt happy with her, I did. I swear I did. But I never got butterflies, I never blushed, I never felt for her like that. Maybe I just liked her as a friend. Doesn't matter now, because I dumped her."

Piper gasped. "You dumped Reyna? But- but- woah." She was thoroughly shocked.

"Yeah. I just broke up with her an hour ago. And- oh god, I can't believe I'm doing this, but there's another reason why I broke up with her." Jason covered his face with his hands for a moment before emerging.

Piper cocked an eyebrow. The fact that he didn't reciprocate feelings for Reyna was reason enough to for her. What else could he have reason for?

"When I met you at midnight that one time, two months ago, there was something extremely familiar about you. And I found out what it was."

Piper grimaced. "Look, I can explain, I swear. I'm sorry-"

"Let me finish and you'll see. A month ago I was paging through this album that my sister had." Jason took out a photo and showed it to Piper. "This is you, right?"

The photo showed ten-year-old Piper and Jason on the swings, laughing hysterically. Their smiles were so wide, it looked like they would explode like a piñata.

"Yeah that's me," Piper said quietly. "We used to be friends. I couldn't stand to see you after you got amnesia though, I'm sorry."

"No, I understand. I wouldn't want to see my friend go through that either. I asked Thalia about you. She told me that you and I were best of friends, along with Leo. I'm still friends with Leo, you know that. So I asked him too.

"Leo told me all about what we used to do when we were kids. We used to pretend to ride the dragon, Festus and we would save people from the evil Gaia."

"It was a fun game," Piper said meekly.

"Yeah, it sounds like a lot of fun," Jason chuckled. "When Leo was telling me about it, something clicked. In my mind, gears turned and I remembered a bit."

Piper's mouth hung open. "You- you remember?" Jason nodded. "You remember!" she cheered. Then she stopped. "How much exactly do you remember?"

"That's the odd thing. I only remember hanging out with you and Leo. I remember going to your mom's house once when I was 15 and Drew liked me. I remember going to the movies when we were 13. I remember when we first met when we were 5."

Piper and Jason both had tears in the corner of their eyes. For Piper, it was slightly painful. Just her; only her.

"Nothing else?" Piper asked.

"Nothing else. I even remember the note that you passed to me in class the day I got amnesia. I'd avoid me too, if I were you," Jason said.

"Y-you got the note?" Piper asked shakily.

"Well, if I recall it, the note said, 'Will you go out with me? -Piper' but unless it was meant for someone else..." Jason trailed off.

"No, it was meant for you," Piper blushed.

"That's the second reason I broke up with Reyna. I like you too. And I can tell because every time I see you in the halls, I get butterflies," Jason said.

"So-so, is this you asking me out?" Piper asked.

"Yeah, I guess it is. And what would you say to me asking you out?"

"I'd say yes."

"Great."

"Yeah."
