I do not own PJO or HoO, capisce?

WARNING: Piper is the only sane one in this chapter.

Ch 2: Flight Frights

Piper looked up from the book she was reading. Jason was standing there, looking excited.

"Hey Pipes! Guess what- we're going back to Camp Half-Blood!" he said.

"That's not unusual, Jason. We go back and forth all the time, remember?" Piper replied, getting up.

"Yeah, I know," Jason was gesturing, quite over-excitedly. "But this is special. Percy and Leo were infected by a Writer, and now they want to see who is the sassiest. It was originally just them, but then Annabeth decided that all of the seven should be in it."

"Um… okay…" she said. "But why are you so excited? Isn't being infected by a Writer a bad thing?"

"Well, sort of, I guess." Jason shifted around a bit. "But I thought that because we can't stop them from doing it, we might as well get excited about it. What do we have to lose?"

"Alright then! Let's go. I suppose it'll be fun, and it's been a while since we've seen the others," Piper started to get excited.

"Okay, let's go tell Hazel! After that, we'll find Frank, and then ask Reyna if she wants to come and watch," Jason said, grabbing Piper's hand and leading her away. Piper stared in dismay as her book fell on a bench.

"Hazel?" Jason called out. "Guess what? We're going back to Camp Half-Blood! And this time you're coming too!"

Hazel walked out from the armory, brushing herself off. "Why? What's going on?"

Piper cut in. "Apparently, Leo and Percy want to decide who's sassier. They were infected by a Writer, and Annabeth decided it was best to humor them and all of the Seven are participating. Jason's- er- very excited." Beside her, Jason had a huge grin on his face and was bouncing on his toes.

"Okay, they both make weird jokes, but why do we have to join in?" Hazel asked. "I'm not really a fan of that kind of thing… and what's a Writer?"

"Well, Writers are these people who write stories about us. And we can't stop Percy and Leo, so why not join them?" Piper replied.

"Alright. I guess it can't hurt to try. Are we going to get Frank now?" Hazel replied.

"Yeah, and maybe Reyna will come too!" Jason started walking cheerfully towards the Principia.

Ooh look at me I'm another line break

Frank was working quietly. All was well in his world.

Suddenly, Jason appeared in front of him, yelling "Frank!"

Startled, he jumped up. "Jason? What's up? Do you need us to look at more blueprints or something, because that's more Annabeth's department…"

"No! We're going to Camp Half-Blood! And all of the seven are coming, so that includes you!" Jason was, once again, beaming wildly and bouncing on his toes.

"But why?" Frank looked befuddled as to why he would have to come. " I mean, I'm all for going to Camp Half-Blood, but what's the reason for all of us going?"

"Well, Leo and Percy were infected by a Writer. They now want to see who is sassier. Because we can't change their minds, Annabeth figured we might as well participate," Piper said. At this point, she was the only calm one. Hazel was starting to panic, and had already gotten out a notebook to start writing comebacks and jokes.

"Okay. I'll come. Reyna? You should come too!" Frank said.

"I'm sorry, but I can't. We can't leave New Rome without at least one praetor in a time of peace. But you go, Frank. Have fun," she replied. Then Reyna leaned in. "And investigate Jason, will you? He looks an awful lot like hyper!Jason and nobody wins in that."

"Alright, troops! File in! We're going on a flight!" Jason was still quite- well, sparky, so Piper took the lead.

"There is someone willing to take us in New Rome, right Jason?" Jason nodded. "We've flown with him before," she said, this time to the others. The whole group started to follow Jason and Piper.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~LINE BREAK HELLO~~~~~~~~~~~~

As they sat down on the plane's seats, Frank spoke up. "So… how long is this going to take?"

"Um… maybe about a day? Five hours? I'm not really sure," Piper replied.

"Well, while we're waiting," he whispered conspiratorially, "Do you mind if I check out Jason? He seems to be hyper!Jason."

Piper nodded. She had noticed this too, and had been wondering if her boyfriend needed a dose of In Characterness. Frank walked away and started asking Jason simple questions to test if he was In Character. Soon, he came back with a grim look on his face.

"Bad news. Jason is hyper!Jason. When we get to camp, they should have some In Character medicine, but…"

"But the Writer might have made us all Out Of Character. Well, once they get started, you can't stop them. I suppose we'll try anyway. Thanks, Frank," Piper responded dejectedly. Sighing, she whipped out a notebook along with everyone else. Procuring a pencil, Piper started picking her brain-

"Wait, Writer," she stood up, "are you using alliteration on me? Stop! I have about five hours on a plane and I'm not going to spend it alliterating! Leave. Now, if you please. This isn't Mr. Popper's Penguins. Piper sat down with a huff, while the aforementioned Writer decided to leave the characters alone for a bit.

A/N: So this was just a filler chapter. Also, by hyper!Jason I meant more overexcited!Jason, but hyper sounds better. OH, and forgive me for any plot holes.

Was it good? Bad? Tell me in a review! Ya' know, I was going to keep the characters in character, but then I realized this fic wouldn't be good without OOC characters. So far we have one vote for Percy and one for Leo... even though the actual competition hasn't started yet. So, send in your votes (They can be for other characters) and review!
