Review Responses -

thaichick7: Thanks for the really really quick review! Nice haiku! You kinda sound like Apollo, though with the I AM AWESOME! line :D

LazySundayGirl: I heart Stole My Heart. It's my favourite 1D song! Good Time is a newer song but it's really good! I just chose Kaycie and Connor not to be there, because I doubt that Connor would like to beat up Travis and his friends. Thank you for reviewing! :D

IamPiperdaughterofAphrodite: I don't watch or listen to kpop. I know a few bands like Shinee and B2ST but not many. Firstly I don't understand Korean coz I'm Chinese and 2nd, I just don't watch kpop. Are you Korean? I already voted on your poll. For LIAM PAYNE! I have a friend who hates hates hates 1D and she's said Harry's the fugliest dude ever! Avan Jogia is SEXY BEAST! I LOVE HIM! I need him to sing more. I'm gonna die if Tori and Beck don't get together. They were about to kiss and I was so excited but then they stopped. So sad! And if you watch Ariana's live concerts on youtube, her voice is so natural. She doesn't even need editing! I haven't watched Snow White either but I really want to (I like violent movies). I only watched Amazing Spiderman! BTW knickers are underwear. Hehee... I don't really like One Thing and I haven't heard of Animal. Thanks for the review! :D

LeoXPiperXJason: Hahaa.. I love your reviews! They're always so funny. And I am reading the review... No. I'm not British. I was born in Australia and live here, but my background is Chinese! Thanks! :P

a. 'x: Thanks for the review! My friends watched Snow White and they said it was good.. so I dunno. Sarcasm and car spasm... I just used it coz they sounded similar! :)

See what I mean by my AN's getting longer?

Ok, I asked you guys if you wanted Leo and Piper together for this chapter, right? So a lot of people really really really want Piper and Leo to get together in this chapter. And some others want more suspense. I couldn't make up my mind, so I did a tally of which one had the most. I got five for YES and one for NO. So, I'm gonna make them get together in this chapter! Sorry IamPiperdaughterofAphrodite! I'll give you a cookie and make it up to you! (::)

Just to remind you, my characters are very OC, so Piper's actually a good singer, but not a really really good one!

I don't own PJO or HoO. All rights belong to Rick Riordan!


I was bored. Travis, Katie, Percy and Annabeth had gone on a double date for dinner to somewhere I didn't know and it was six. That left Leo and I, but we stayed in our respective houses. There were some days where I went to my music room to have my own space and sing. Since I was small, I had been able to play both the piano and guitar. I loved music with a passion. I also really loved singing. I used to come up to the music room a lot, mainly when Reyna had humiliated me at school. Those times, I would usually play loud angry music and sometimes I would even sing 'Mean' by Taylor Swift. This was like my rehab. Music just naturally happened to calm me down. The only kind of music I didn't like was classical. It's just too... classical? When I thought about it, I hadn't come up here for quite a while, probably because I didn't find the time to with my new found friends. I grabbed a guitar and tuned it correctly. A song name came into my mind and I started playing some chords singing. Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis. It was a love song, but I only sang it because it was an easy and soothing song.

"But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you. They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth. My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing. You cut me open and I, keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love. I keep bleeding. I keep, keep bleeding love. Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love. You cut me open and I, keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love." I trailed off at the end of the song, pleased with what I had just sung. I heard a single person clapping behind me. My eyes widened. Only my parents have seen or heard me sing like this. I didn't even need to turn around to see who was standing at the doorway. But I still turned. I stared at him with wide eyes and gulped.

"That was really good," Leo complimented me.

I blushed, "Thanks." I smiled faintly. Oh good Lord, he had heard me sing. I didn't know if that was a good or bad thing. "How much did you hear?" I asked nervously.

He smirked, enjoying my discomfort, "The whole thing." Oh my god. "Was that for anyone in particular?" he asked tilting his head to the left. I shook my head, not trusting my voice anymore.

"Can you sing another song?" he asked.

"No," I replied, smirking.

"Please?" he pleaded, "For me?" He had his puppy dog face on. It was so adorable! How could I say no?

I sighed dramatically and said, "Fine. What song?"

He shrugged, "Your choice."

I racked my brain for another song. I wanted to sing a pop rock, punkish song. A really old one, but still a good one. Sk8er Boi by Avril Lavigne.

"He was a boy. She was a girl. Can I make it anymore obvious? He was a punk. She did ballet. What more can I say? He wanted her. But she'd never tell. Secretly she wanted him as well. All of her friends Stuck up their nose. And they had a problem with his baggy clothes..." I continued.

"You like it?" I asked when I was done and turned around. Suddenly I was staring into his eyes. Whoaa! How long had he been behind me for? I looked into his eyes and examined them. I realised that they were a beautiful hazel colour and had flecks of green. So captivating and mesmerising. I could stare into them for eternity. I watched him as his eyes flickered down to my lips for a split second. He wanted to kiss me. And I was proven right. He inched closer towards me and I did the same. Our lips were only two centimetres away from each other and we closed our eyes. He filled the minute gap between us and his lips were suddenly pressed to mine. The kiss was soft and sweet. Hmm... he tasted like chocolate. I placed one hand on the back of his neck and entangled the other into his curls. I felt one of his own hands in my hair pulling me closer and the other on the small of my back. This moment could've lasted forever, but it didn't.


I was cuddled up to Leo's side on my couch in the living room watching some episode ofHawaii Five-O on the TV. We were offically dating. As in, real boyfriend and girlfriend. Not a fake couple like we were to put on a show or to prevent Reyna from dating Leo. But actually a real relationship. Thinking about it just made my heart race. It just felt so... right. I never felt this way with Leo as I did with previous boyfriends. He was different. I could feel his eyes on me instead of the TV.

"Stop staring at me," I mumbled and hid my face between his arm and the couch.

"Why? Am I making you uncomfortable?" he teased. I blushed. I could already picture him smirking right now.

"Maybe." He lifted my head up and kissed me. My knees felt weak. I was lucky that I was sitting down. We kissed for a while until we were interrupted.

"Uhhh..."

I blushed, pulled away from Leo and snapped my head to the left only to find the eyes of Percy. Then Travis'. Then Katie's. Then Annabeth's. Then I looked at the clock. It was ten. I didn't know it was that late. Who would've thought time flew by so fast? How long had they seen us? An awkward silence came over us. I cleared my throat.

"Ha! Twenty bucks! Gimme!" Travis cried out, sticking his hand out to Percy. I looked at them in surprise. They. Bet. On. Us? Percy grumbled and handed over the cash.

"You couldn't have waited and gotten together until next month?" Percy asked annoyed. I shook my head slowly along with Leo. Katie and Annabeth were smiling. I could tell they were really happy for us. And so were the guys.

"You guys bet on us?" Leo asked incredulously, voicing my thoughts.

"Yep! And now I'm twenty bucks richer!" Travis said proudly with his head up. I should've expected was something that they would definitely do. Betting. Percy shouldn't have even agreed on betting. The Stoll's always win bets. I rolled my eyes at their behaviour but still laughed quietly.

"Should've seen it coming," I muttered under my breath.

"Mmhmm," Leo agreed.

When the others left in about fifteen minutes, I stated, "I'm gonna go to bed."

"You want me to join you?" Leo asked, waggling his eyebrows.

I rolled my eyes, "Suurreee.." I drawled out sarcastically.

"Ok," he said smirking ignoring my sarcasm.

I narrowed my eyes at him, "You're not joining me. Ever heard of sarcasm?"

"Car spasm? I didn't know there was such thing," he said.

"Hey! You used my own joke against me," I whined. He smirked at me again.

He gave me a short goodnight kiss before he left and said, "Good night, Beauty Queen. Sweet dreams."


YAYY! They're together now, like everyone wanted. The most fluffiness in the whole story so far. BTW, the bet was about WHEN Leo and Piper would get together. And Travis won the bet, as most people wanted!:P
