A/N: This Chapter sorta took me a while to write. But I got busy studying for finals. Next update may take a bit longer considering finals are next week! Well anyways I want to say that before you start saying what couple you like best I already know whom I am pairing with who. But I want it to be a surprise so I won't say until later when it starts becoming obvious. Well Anyways, I'd like to take this time to acknowledge those who did review! Thank you SOO much.
Erin123klien: Thank you very much for your review! I can't wait either!
IlovepercyJ: Thanks for reviewing! I will most defiantly continue! I love the HoO!
Scouti: Thanks! I hate him too for that but I mean he made the whole series so I sorta love him at the same time. It's love-hate relation ship. Lol. And I didn't feel that Percy and Annabeth are too big with PDA but I will most defiantly make other scenes that will make up for the Romance. :)
Thanks everyone for reviewing! These make me update faster. They feul me on knowing people are counting on me! :)
Inspiration Song: Starry Eyed by Ellie Goulding
Next thing, we're touching
You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning
Everybody's Starry Eyed
(I thought the lightning reference was cute. You know Jason and Lightning…. *Sigh*)
Piper POV:
The ship was heading straight for what looked like Annabeths dreams wrapped in one.
"This. Is. The. Best. Thing. Ever." Annabeth sounded out each word. "Holy Zeus! You never said that the camp was near heaven!"
Jason only smiled; she could feel his nervousness like waves off the shore. Annabeth kept rambling on about the city near them. Piper only laughed, and walked over to Jason who looked like he'd have a panic attack at any time. "You excited?" Piper attempted a conversation.
"It's just that I've missed this place so much and I can't believe that I'm finally back. It feels sorta surreal," Jason's answer was brief like there was something he was keeping from her.
"Just look at Annabeth. She practically jumping off the ship," She looked over at Annabeth who had suddenly grabbed hold of the edge of the Argo II and started swaying back and forth.
"Leo, have you sent the message yet?" Thalia asked Leo, "Message, Message…Oh yeah! Lemme do that before we get killed…"
Thalia shook her head in disbelief. "You haven't sent the message? I don't want to be Satyr soup! Pan! This kid wants to get me killed!" Grover shouted.
"Hey! Greetings from Camp-Half Blood, et cetera. This is Leo. I'm the…." Leo looked around the ship, "Hey what's my title? Am I like the admiral, or captain, or-"
"Repair boy!" Piper yelled out.
"Very funny, Piper," Leo grumbled. "So yeah, I'm…ah… supreme commander of the Argo II. Yeah, I like that! Anyway, we're ganna be sailing toward you in about, I dunno, an hour on this big mother warship. We'd appreciate it if you'd not, like, blow us out of the sky or anything. So okay! If you could tell the Romans that. See you soon. Your demigodishness, and all that. Peace out."
"That was incredibly defiant," Piper summed up the message.
"Big words Beauty Queen, are you sure you know what that means?" Leo smirked with his clever retort.
"Ha. Ha. Repair boy." Piper smacked him on his forehead.
"OW! Hands to your self Beauty Queen, I mean I know I'm that irresistible but, I got my eyes on the prize…" Leo's eyes peered over at Thalia.
"Funny," Thalia's eyes sent daggers to him. Jason cracked a grin but felt a little bit stiff.
Piper stood next to Jason, but his stare drifted away from her barely acknowledging her presence. She walked off, knowing where she wasn't wanted. '
'Tough Luck' she thought, her dad used to say that to her all the time. He would ruffle her hair like a little kid, she used to hate it. She wondered what her dad was doing right now. He was probably just sitting in his "Chair" thinking about his new role in some stupid movie where he took his shirt off every five minutes. When she thought about how he didn't remember about anything that had happened it made her sad, but then she felt bad because she knew that if he had known, he'd be too shocked to live day by day knowing that Piper, his daughter, was a child of Aphrodite. She sighed.
"I present to you, CAMP JUPITER," Leo shouted as if he was a captain of the ship or some- oh wait, he "was."
Jason looked at the city, not camp, with gleaming eyes. The "Camp" was way too big to be a camp, it was a City. Piper was jealous, she hated to admit. She wished she knew why the camp was so important. Piper sensed it was because of someone. To be more specific, it was a girl. Her shoulders slumped to the floor. Who ever it was, they had much bigger of a past then Jason and hers. Gods, she hated the mist.
It was the first time she noticed how nervous Annabeth actually was. She'd never seen her or imagined her like this. She was always calm and levelheaded. She was a child of Athena for the God's sake! Annabeth kept pacing, her feet shuffled, her finger danced and her eyes shifted all over the camp, actually for once making her look ADHD. Piper wanted to walk over to her and tell her to take a breather but she, herself, could barely breathe. She hadn't even realized that she was holding her breath.
The ship slowly started to descend into the clearing. It made a horrible lurch that had Piper's stomach doing somersaults.
"Are you sure you know how to drive this thing, Repair boy?" Piper shouted.
"Shut up Beauty Queen, it's impossible to drive a ship. You sail it. And it has name, as do I." Leo shoved his nose into the air. Piper just gave him a 'Whatever' look.
The tension in the air was so thick, she was sure it'd choke her to death.
The ship made an impossible turn and comfortably landed in front of the massive camp.
Piper held her breath until her face started turning a little purple. The camp was silent except for steady 'thump thump' edging closer to the ship. Piper could see some of the campers heading into what looked like gigantic stone buildings but with an ancient feel to it. It was beautiful, she had to admit.
Jason had moved from his earlier stance, he now was standing tall, with his head up high, nose in the air, and everything. He was being weird. Piper noted that Camp Jupiter made him act and look like a jerk face. A cute jerk face…'Stop it!' Piper scolded herself. Jason was probably taken. No matter what the mist tried to tell her brain, she knew it was fake and that Jason was his own person and if he chose someone other than her, she'd move on. Thanks to her lovely mother, that's all she thought about nowadays.
The first thing Piper made out was a tall tan guy, who was most certainly attractive.
It was very obviously Percy. From all the pictures and descriptions she'd heard about him, he fit the bill perfectly. From his tall, buff, lean, figure, to his jet- black hair and deep-sea-green eyes. He wore a small smile on his lips, it seemed to grow as he neared to the ship.
At Percy's side was a dark-skinned girl, who at the same time seemed to look pale. She had dark, long wavy, black hair. She stood small and timid next to a very buff kid with a cute baby face. He stood over the girl protectively.
The next thing she saw, gave her a miniature heart attack. Trotting slightly behind them, on a white Pegasus, was one the prettiest girls in life. Piper timidly shrugged back. The girl held her nose high in the air, with great leadership; she didn't look stupid at all. Her soft brown waves cascaded down on to her shoulder. This had to be the girl, because as soon as she snuck a peek at Jason, she lost all hope. He gazed at her for too long.
The ship seemed to acknowledge what was going on and it too seemed to hold in its breath. It was so silent a pin could be heard drop.
Leo and the rest of them got off the boat anxiously. Piper got off last, watching the scene unfold in front of her.
"Annabeth." Percy whispered gingerly. Annabeth's face was blank, unreadable.
"You remember?" She asked reluctantly. "How could I forget, Wise Girl?"
Annabeth ran straight into Percy's warm welcoming arms. She wrapped her arms around him in a tight embrace and he kissed the top of her head lightly. Piper's heart warmed at the sight of their reunion.
Annabeth let go of him after a long minute of their embrace. She put her hand into a tight fist and punched him the stomach. Percy grunted and clutched his stomach. Piper had not seen that coming. "You Seaweed Brain! You could've called me, them your mom. I would've sent her an iris message," She said the last part softly, realizing their audience.
"I- didn't- think about that. Ughh I forgot how hard you punch," Percy grunted.
The girl on the Pegasus cleared her throat loudly. Piper's head snapped her way.
Percy stood up and also cleared his throat. He stepped up in front of the crew. His grin spread across his face like hot butter. "Hey guys, this is Camp Jupiter. Let me introduce you to a couple of my friends." He motioned to both sides. "I'm Percy Jackson."
