"Do we really have to do this?" Piper sighed as the other girls literally pushed her into her room. The boys followed them with the grins etched on their faces.

"Cheer up. It's only ten minutes." Jason said, from the back of the group.

"Yes," Reyna whispered in her ear. "Your free to do whatever you want inside. Um, within reason." She laughed as Piper shuddered at the thought.

"Yuck, Reyna. How can you be so... disgusting?" Piper gagged.

"Come on, then. We have fifteen minutes left before we start for dinner." Percy said. "We don't want to be late for meals. Get on with it, you two."

"Sure," Piper replied, with a scowl. "It's as easy as that."

Jason came over and put an arm over her shoulder in a reassuring way but it still made Piper shiver at his touch. "Come on. It's just a closet."

And with those 'reassuring' words and encouragement from others (in the form of hoots), she got inside the closet followed by Jason who squeezed in beside her. It was really uncomfortable. The door was closed and the others set a timer for ten minutes, without which the group would have probably forgotten about them. This had been Piper's idea.

"So, not very... comfy, eh?" Jason said, as he pulled his hands closer to himself.

"Uh-huh." Piper replied, who was busy with her own problems of space.

"Why don't we play something to pass the time?" Jason asked.

"Sure." Was the reply.

"What, though?" Jason asked, raising his eyebrows.

Piper's heart did a back-flip as it always did when he made that questioning expression. She sighed a little in her heart. Acting normally outside, she replied, "Umm... I don't know. But what about 'Ask me about myself'?"

"What's that?" Jason asked, with a smile.

"It's a game where we both have to ask questions about ourselves to each other and see if they know us. It makes them know more about each other. We don't really know everything about each other. So?"

"Sure, let's play. You first."

"Okay. What's my favorite color?"

"Purple?"

"Nah. It's orange. That kind of sunset-y color. It seems such a mixture of colors and when you look at it, it makes you feel so nice and warm." Piper said, with a smile as she thought of the best sunsets she had seen with her Dad.

"That's a very nice color and I love sunsets. So, I totally agree." Jason said, smiling at her which she felt almost as warm as the orange color she had been describing.

"Your turn." Piper said.

"Hmm. What's my favorite food?"

"Umm... Pizza?" Piper guessed.

"Yeah," Jason grinned. "Must be quite obvious, the way I gobble it up. Your turn."

"My favorite song?"

"Oh, that's gonna be hard. Three guesses; Red by Taylor Swift, Closer by The Chainsmokers, and... umm... Love me like you do by Ellie Goulding?"

"None," Piper laughed. "But one of the singers was right. Burn by Ellie Goulding."

"My favorite song?" Jason asked.

"Sugar by Maroon 5, Animals by Maroon 5 and Demons by Fall Out Boy?" Piper randomly chose out of her head.

"None," Jason grinned. "The singer is right, though. Immortals by Fall Out Boy."

"Well, I can't always be right." She smiled. "My favorite novel series?"

"The Mortal Instruments?"

"Oh, I love that. But Divergent wins."

And they stayed there, discussing about the different things they like and dislike for quite some time when Piper commented. "Hasn't it been more than ten minutes?"

Jason checked his watch. "They're over and a few more minutes have passed. Why didn't they let us out? Can you hear them? 'Cuz I can't hear any noise."

They both listened intently and sure as it was they couldn't hear anything.

"Have they gone and left us to ourselves?"Piper gasped, visibly alarmed.

"No, I'm sure they haven't. Calm down Piper." Jason put his hands on her shoulders in a placating gesture, because she was most definitely freaking out.

"How can I? What if they leave us here? We'll choke out here when the air gets consumed. What will we do then?"

"Sh, sh. Calm down, Pipes. We'll break the door down if that happens. Okay? Just relax." Jason said. He took her face in his hands. "We'll be just fine. Okay? Just fine."

Piper looked in his eyes, the startling blue eyes she had noticed from the very first day she had met him. And she believed him. They would be fine. Someone would open the door and if not, they would break it down.

As if an answer to her thoughts, there was a loud giggle and the door of the closet opened to reveal grinning faces of her friends.

Piper pulled away from Jason and out of the closet, her cheeks warm and probably red.

"Well, this was a nice dare. You forgot all about the time. We thought you'd been waiting for the time to finish and you'd yell at us to let you out. What was going on in there that you forgot all about the time?" Annabeth asked Piper with a sly smile.

Piper cleared her throat. "Nothing, we just got lost in conversation."

"Yeah we could see that quite clearly." Leo grinned as everyone burst out laughing and Annabeth gave Piper a hug.
