The L.A. streets were littered with traffic. Cars zoomed by as lights flashed wild colors before their eyes. Despite the fast moving world around them, time seemed to slow down as Jason held Piper in his arms.

They must have been like that for hours.

Jason didn't plan on letting go.

Piper knew she must have been soaking up his shirt, but she didn't care. She probably even cried harder.

She breathed in the scent of his purple cotton tee shirt. He hadn't changed.

"Is this a dream? Is it really you, Sparky?" she mumbled into his shirt

She felt his chest bounce as he laughed.

He lifted her chin so she could look at him. "Yeah, it's me, Pipes"

She buried her face in his chest again and held him tighter.

"I'm so sorry… I never meant what I said Sparky. I was wrong, I love you. You mean the whole world to me… I don't know what I would do without you… I-"

Jason cut her off, "It's okay Pipes, I love you too."

He smiled at her as she lifted her head again.

Piper shook her head. "No, it's not okay. You died because of me!"

"And now, I'm alive because of you. Really, Pipes, can we please move past this" he begged

"I missed spending time with you. Way more than spending all that time with those guys at that boarding school," he laughed.

Piper smiled. "Okay,"

They hopped in a taxi to go to Oakland Hills, San Francisco. The whole time Jason held Piper in his arms.

"Pipes," Jason whispered.

He whispered her again and nudged her a little bit. She murmured something and hid herself deeper into his chest to sleep. Jason grinned.

"I've missed you so much, Pipes," he whispered.

"Honestly, when you dumped me, it shattered my heart. I had to get away. I couldn't stand seeing you knowing you didn't love me back.

At the boarding school, I thought of you every fucking day. I kept thinking of how strong you were, how sweet you were, and of course, your gorgeous eyes. I couldn't believe I lost you.

It was the worst pain you could ever imagine. I'd rather get stabbed by Caligula a hundred more times than go through that again.

But I realized you were confused. I can't blame you for that. Your mom faked half of our relationship. But I swear to you… every damn moment with you was so real. You gave me so much strength. And I guess what I'm saying is… I forgive you. It doesn't matter how much pain I went through during our break up, because every moment I was with you more than evened the score. I love you."

He chuckled, "and I hope somewhere in your subconscious you hear this, because I'd hate to have to recite this again."

Piper turned over to look at him, "You don't have to, Sparky," she smiled.

He bent his neck to kiss her head. "Good. Now go back to sleep, we have another 3 hours until we get there."

The moon slipped past them and before they knew it, the sun was already beginning to peak and they reached their stop. They paid their dues and headed to the entrance of Camp Jupiter.

"I can't believe I'm back here. It feels like it's been so long." He stared in awe.

"That's because it has been a long time, Sparky. You were dead."

Jason just laughed and she squeezed his hand as they walked in.

In front of them, a busy street of people ran by, doing their casual business, until someone shouted the obvious.

"THE OLD PRAETOR'S HERE!"

Everyone immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed towards him. Slowly, the crowd began to separate in half to create a path. A path for the praetors themselves.

"I thought I smelled graecus scum somewhere,"

The praetor grinned. Her long, dark brown framed her tanned face and flowed down along with her glittering, purple cape. Her brown eyes glittered with hidden mischievous.

"I'm no more of a graecus scum than you, Praetor."

The two ran forwards and hugged each other.

"Ah, I see you've brought us a gift," Reyna smiled.

Frank stood next to his colleague, gaping. "What… how…? Am I seeing ghosts again?"

He rubbed his eyes and stared at Jason. "You're not real,"

Jason grinned. "I'm real, Frank. I've missed you,"

A small, beautiful, mocha skinned girl with bouncy hair ran to the front of the crowd and jumped on Piper.

"Piper! Where have you been! And YOU! I felt your presence come back and Frank thought I'd lost my mind!"

The five all agreed to meet at a cafe.

Piper and Jason explained everything that had happened in the last few days.

"Where the Hades did you go? You both smell like ass."

Jason rolled his eyes. "Thanks, Frank. They happen to not have showers in Elysium. I mean we were ghosts. I guess after I left all those months of not shower must have caught up to me."

Piper shrugged. "Monsters, ya know?"

"That's so sweet that you went all the way to the Underworld for him! We missed you guys so much! We have so much to do! We should make plans with Leo, Annabeth, and Percy!" Hazel squealed.

Reyna checked her watch. "Hey, guys, I'm so glad we got back together, but I gotta go."

"Awh, where are you going?" Piper asked.

"I have a date" Reyna winked.

"What? With who?"

"Marcus!"

Hazel stared at her.

"Wow, Reyna! I'm impressed! He's a hunk!"

Frank glared at his girlfriend.

"I mean, not as hunky as you, babe." Hazel laughed.

Piper smiled. She was happy Reyna was getting over Jason.

"That's great, Rey. Can I help you get ready?"

"Me too!" Hazel added.

Reyna laughed. "Of course, guys."

-At Reyna's House-

"So, Pipes, how are you and Jason, now. Are you guys dating again or are you gonna stay friend?" Hazel asked.

Piper used her magic brush her mom gave her to brush Reyna's hair. She never thought she'd have to use it until now.

"Of course we're dating. Breaking up with Jason was the worst mistake I'd ever made. I never want to go through that ever again." Piper explained.

"Gods, the months without him were the worst. I just hate that it'd taken me so long to realise."

Reyna smiled. "I'm glad you guys are back together. I think we all are. We hated seeing Jason so sad after you guys ended things."

Piper grinned. "Thanks, Reyna. Okay, I think you're all ready!"

Reyna turned to look at herself in the mirror.

"Holy Aphrodite! I look amazing!"

Hazel smirked. "Yup! All thanks to Piper's magical makeup kit!"

"And to think I almost chucked it in the River Styx!" Piper laughed.

Reyna wore a simple tee shirt and jeans, but she looked like a goddess. Her long, black hair cascaded down her back. She wore minimal makeup, just some mascara and blush, for a natural look.

"I think the makeup helped a little. But Reyna's natural beauty was definitely the biggest help." Piper smiled.

-Meanwhile, at Frank's House-

"Hey, man, are you good though? I know Elysium's cool and all, but how were you, alone?" Frank asked.

"It was horrible. The worst part was not being with Piper. I was able to see her in on earth and I saw her always crying."

"And honestly, I'm horrified she's gonna leave me again. I love her, you know? She means the world to me. I don't know what I would do without her. I kept wondering if I was crappy boyfriend."

"It scares me to think that she's only with me because she feels guilty."

Frank laughed. "Come on, man. Have you seen the way she looks at you? She's in love with you. I'm no Aphrodite, but that girl clearly cares about you. Besides, from what Hazel tells me, the only reason she broke up with you is because she thought her mom forced it on you guys. She wasn't sure if you loved her or if it was just some magic."

Jason smiled. "Thanks, man."

-Prologue-

3 months later…

PIPER'S POV

"Come on Jason! Now, can I look?"

"Just a few more seconds babe."

Jason took his hands off of my eyes.

"Jason this is amazing. It's just like the night on the roof…"

"But this time it's real. Piper, I know you had doubts about us. That you thought we weren't meant to be and that it was all just your mom messing with us. But when I look into your eyes. I know what we have is real. I promise you, I will always do my best to be you boyfriend. I love you, Piper"

I stared at him and I thought back to everything we've been through. How on earth could I have ever thought that he didn't love me?

I smiled.

"I love you too, Jason"

-NEW STORY?-

Hey guys! I've loved Jasper since, like, fourth or fifth grade. It's been my entire life. Five years later, I just finished my first fanfic. I never would have if it hadn't been for Rick killing Jason off. Personally, I never read The Trials Of Apollo, and I don't plan on it. Damn, the heartbreak I felt from just reading the SPOILER was horrible. Anyways, I'm not sure, but winter break just started so I have a lot of time, but I might start another Jasper story, definitely in high school. If you want a high school story, let me know! Don't worry, all the characters will have their same personalities! (Personally, I don't really like when people change Jason to be a jerk, it just doesn't feel right :(! )
