For the person (not saying any usernames) who asked for moments with other ships to be included, this is my attempt!

BTW this is before Jason and Piper get together ;D

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE PERCY JACKSON AND OLYMPIANS OR THE HEROES OF OLYMPUS SERIES. RICK RIORDAN DOES.


JASON GRACE

Set after The Lost Hero

Jason noticed an uncanny trend going on in Camp Half-Blood. Whenever the campers talked about about the incredible events from the past few years, the name Percy Jackson always seemed to come up.

Jason knew basic information about the missing camper. Everyone saw Percy as one of leaders of Camp Half-Blood. He was an expert swordsman. Annabeth, or who Leo preferred to call the "tall, scary blonde chick", was his girlfriend. On top of that, Percy was the uber-strong, practically invincible, almost-became-a-god-but-didn't-feel-like-it, handsome son of the Sea God.

The first time Jason asked about Percy, he made the mistake of voicing his question in the middle of a crowd. The people around him were gearing up and were already excited about the game of Capture the Flag. Thus, Jason received a whole flurry of responses at the same time and his ears only caught a few of the answers.

"Percy Jackson... How do I even begin to explain Percy Jackson?"

"Percy Jackson is flawless."

"He went on two quests. Or three if you count the one with the Hunters where he sneaked out of camp to barge in on."

"I hear his sword's insured for 10,000 drachmas."

"I hear he does Hephaestus TV commercials... underwater."

"His favorite color of all time is blue."

"One time he met Aphrodite."

"... and she told him he was cute."

"One time he accidentally shot me with an arrow. It was awesome."

That evening, Jason figured that he needed to try a different approach if he wanted to learn more about the famed Percy Jackson.

The day after, Jason, Piper and Leo carried on a plan. They decided to part their own ways and talk one-in-one with a bunch of campers in order to get more info on the son of the Sea God.

As Jason interrogated several campers, he noticed another uncanny trend. He noticed that the campers often brought up Percy and Annabeth's relationship.

While Travis Stoll was telling a humorous anecdote about chocolate Easter bunnies partying on a roof, Jason couldn't keep his question in anymore.

"Why do people always talk about Percabeth?"

"Percabeth?" Travis Stoll lifted an eyebrow. "The Aphrodite cabin got that ridiculous couple name stuck on you too?"

Jason shook his head to clear it. He talked to Drew earlier and she wouldn't stop with the Percy/Annabeth, a.k.a. Percabeth, gossip.

"To rephrase my question, whenever I ask the other campers about Percy, they always mention him and Annabeth dating. What's up with that?"

Travis scratched the back of his moplike head. "Well they are some sort of power-couple around here."

"What do you mean by that?" enquired Jason.

"I mean..." Travis sighed. "Percy and Annabeth have been best friends for the last four or so years. Since then, they've been practically leading the camp alongside Chiron. And, uh, alongside Mr. D too."

"Huh, they started out as best friends," Jason commented, "Weird that no one mentioned that before."

Travis smirked. "That's because even though they were friends since they were twelve, everyone always saw them as a couple. Or at least, suspected that they were going to start dating. For the longest time, it was super obvious that Percy and Annabeth really, really liked each other."

"But didn't they only start dating in August?" interrupted Jason.

"Yeah. That's the funny thing about it," Travis snickered, "It was like everyone else knew that they were totally crushing each other except them. So when half the camp found them kissing the evening after the Titan War, everyone was all like 'Finally, they're together'."

"Wow." Jason found it strange to watch one of the most notorious trickster in the camp excitedly gush about a couple. "So it must've been really obvious that they were meant to be."

Travis nodded. "In fact, before they started going out, the UST between Percy and Annabeth was one of the highlights of the camp. Seriously. People got excited about going to Camp Half-Blood to do the following: a) chill with friends, b) play capture the flag, c) the food and d) witnessing Percy and Annabeth's wallow in their unrequited love. It was hilarious!"

Yep. Jason was definitely starting to feel like the weirdness of the conversation was escalating.

Jason stood up to leave. In the least awkward way as possible, Jason said, "I think I have to meet up with Piper and Leo now. Thanks man."

Travis shook his hand. "As a matter of fact Jason, thank you for being hilarious. And tell that to Piper too." The son of Hermes walked away, smiling a bit too mischievously to Jason's liking.


Jason, Piper and Leo agreed to meet at exactly four o' clock at the bottom of Half-Blood Hill. When Jason arrived, two minutes after the meeting time, only Piper was there.

"Hey Sparky," Piper greeted, "How were your interviews?"

Jason shrugged. "I don't think I'll ever get used to the fact that one of the biggest pranksters around here is a huge fan of Percabeth."

"Percabeth?" Piper's kaleidoscope eyes twinkled, "I don't think I'll ever get used to the fact that you use that ridiculous couple name my half-sibs made up. You know, people in the Aphrodite cabin won't stop with the Percy/Annabeth gossip. It gets so annoying!"

"Yeah, I already guessed," Jason said with a laugh, "I talked to Drew earlier and all she would talk about is how Percy's black hair perfectly balances out Annabeth's blonde curls."

"Oh, you talked to Drew. For once, I think I agree with her," Piper's smile seemed a bit strained. Jason knew that Piper knew that Drew had a blatant crush on him. However, Piper didn't know that Jason knew it bothered her.

Jason wanted to wrap his arms around Piper and tell her that she had nothing to worry about. On the other hand, Jason was scared that he might scare Piper away. No, that wasn't it. He was scared to tell her, that-

"'Sup guys! Sorry I'm late." Leo jogged up towards Jason and Piper. "I was talking to a little Aphrodite girl and man. That girl wouldn't stop blabbing about 'Percabeth'. And I thought I was an annoying motor mouth!"

"Don't worry Leo, you are," joked Piper.

Leo clutched his hand to his chest, mockingly hurt. "Miss McLean, I am deeply offended by those words."

Piper grinned. "I apologize Mr. Valdez. What I meant was that you are our favourite annoying motor mouth."

The three friends laughed together. Or at least, Jason thought, they were simply three friends for now.


Yes. I did it. I put a Mean Girls reference in this story. Haters gonna hate.

Thanks for reading, review to request, blah blah the regular stuff.

If you're at this chapter, that means that you suffered through my previous POVs. CONGRATS. This is when my words in bold get more informal.
