A/N- If anyone reads any other stories of mine then you should know...

I'm updating every one of them (Except my one-shot) by June 30th and if I'm already finished then I'll update twice in one day or a week.

Depends. Let's start with some talks then a sweet sort of date. For some reason, I've been looking forward to writing this chappie, I enjoy writing every chappipe but this one especially...

3rd Person-

Piper stared blankly at her boyfriend.

Or ex-boyfriend?

She couldn't even decipher what he'd said. Did he mean that he didn't love her anymore? Piper's head swirled around with all these possibilities.

"What do you mean, Jason? Was it me? Reyna?"

Jason sighed, shaking his head. "I'm really sorry, Piper. Just that...Reyna and I."

Piper struggled from getting less air every second. "What about you two?"

"It's not Reyna and I, it's mostly me. I've known Reyna longer and ever since I got my memories back, I just wanted to be more than friends with her."

Piper scowled, tears threatened to erupt. "So you're choosing her over me. I've always been there for you and just because you've got your stupid memories, you're dumping me?"

"Um...yeah."

"You're a jerk, Jason Grace! I hope you die on this quest or something. You played with my heart like it was a toy! And now you're acting like you do this everyday!"

"Listen, Piper. I didn't mean for it to come that way." Jason took her face into his hands, softly caressing her cheek. "I didn't mean it. I love you."

Piper suddenly felt whole again. She laid a hand over Jason's. "Really?"

"No." Jason pulled away from her and headed for the hotel. (I'm sorry I said that they were in tents-when Persia came to talk to Leo-scratch that, I meant hotel room.)

Piper was now alone, crying and lost.

She was broken.

Leo Pov-

"Tell me more."

Persia ran a hand through her hair before responding. "Well, there's not much to say. I'm sure Piper likes you but again, blinded by her love for Jason. And Hazel...she's just waiting for you to make a move."

"Really?" I asked. "So if I went up to her right now, would she go out with me?"

"Most likely."

I had to admit, I did like Hazel, but something held me back.

"Piper." Persia said.

"Excuse me? Did you just read my mind?"

"No. I meant Piper," She pointed to the beach where Piper had head in her hands. "She's crying."

I turned around, she was crying. Persia smiled, encouraging me.

I left the room, heading for the elevator. When the elevator opened, Percy smiled at me tiredly.

"Hey Leo. Have you seen Persia?"

"Yeah, she's in my room."

"Thanks, man." Percy exited the elevator, leaving me alone.

I shrugged, exiting the lobby full of tourists and headed to the beach.

Piper was still on beach, crying but Annabeth sat next to her, comforting and muttering something.

I turned around-I'd check on her later. On the way back to the hotel, I bumped into Hazel.

"Hey Leo." She waved.

"Hey. Watcha doing?"

"Nothing much. I just ran into Jason-he's mighty happy." Hazel said. "Don't know why, though. What are you doing?"

"I was just going to check on Piper-she's crying for some reason. But Annabeth's already with her, so...I'm here."

"You want to grab some lunch?" Hazel's stomach growled. "I'm starving."

"Might as well. Flight's in two hours." I offered my arm to her. "Shall we?"

She giggled but her arm in mine. "We shall."

"Good, cause if I eat that airplane food, I'll get gas-y."

3rd Person Pov-

Percy knocked on the door once and waited patiently.

"Come in!" Persia said.

Percy opened the door to find Persia staring out the window, observing the daughters of Athena and Aphrodite.

"Hey, Persia." Percy closed the door behind him.

"Hey. What's wrong?" She asked, turning to face the son of Poseidon.

"Why would anything be wrong?" Percy said, nervous.

"You and Annabeth's aura. You're not happy." Persia cocked her head to the side. "Did you two get in a fight?"

Percy sighed. "Yeah but it's no big deal. Anyway, I need to talk to you."

Persia turned her head towards Percy. Her silver eyes held his gaze. "About what?"

"I talked to Apollo and Artemis recently and..."

Persia squeezed her eyes shut. Of course, they'd still be alive. They were immortal, after all.

"And?" Persia's voice was shaky. Scared of Percy's answer.

"Artemis says she's sorry."

Persia bit her lower lip. "I don't think I can forgive her, Percy. It's just not happening."

Percy knew what she was going through. After all, he had been through something quite similar to her conundrum.

"Persia," He smiled softly, sitting down next to her. "You're not the first one to tackle this problem. When I told you about Gaea and her giants trying to destroy the very existence of the gods, I didn't mention the second Titan War. It all started with my friend, Luke Castellan. He betrayed his family, his friends, and tried to kill me on several occasions. But in the end, he ended up being a host for the Titan lord, Kronos. The battle was massive. So many of my friends. Gone."

Percy's voice broke off at the end but he continued, "In his last moments, he knew what he'd done. He was sorry. And I forgave him."

"I'm really sorry about your friends and all and I understand the forgiveness part, but why did Luke side with Kronos?"

"He felt alone. The gods ignored their children. They never claimed them and they barely got to go on quests. And when Luke finally got a quest, he also got a terrible scar with it. He was tired of the demigods still being loyal to their uncaring parents, and he decided he wasn't going to part of that."

Persia nodded, she knew what that felt like.

Percy shook his hair out of the way. "All I'm saying is that, because of so many mistakes-the gods' presence in their kids' lives, Luke's choice-Luke never forgave them until he was dying."

"So you're saying that I should pardon Artemis before it turns into a bigger mess?"

"It's up to you, Persia. Just remember: when you think you can never forgive someone, you're just making it harder to forgive that person." Percy stood up and smiled at Persia.

"Get some sleep or something," He advised. "Flight's in hour."

Persia watched as the boy left.

He was so young, yet, had a peaceful, wise soul.

So different.

"You didn't not!"

"I did," Leo sat up a bit proudly. "Then she was all like, 'I'm not hot. I'm very cold.' Or something like that."

"Oh Leo," Hazel sighed, messing around with her shrimp gumbo. "I'm surprised she didn't turn you into a Leo-sickle."

"Good thing she didn't. But if she had then I would have been a very tasty Leo-sickle."

Hazel laughed. Leo was very charming and cute.

Leo laughed also. He was having a great time with Hazel.

"Let's get out of here-everyone's looking at us like they know we're demigods." Leo said, getting up.

Hazel got up also. "Thank you for the lovely meal, my good sir."

Leo tipped his invisible hat. "Mighty welcome, my lady. It has all been charged on Lord Perseus' bill."

"Oh how lovely." Hazel bowed, excepting Leo's outstretched hand.

Hazel brushed her back and placed her hand in Leo's.

They walked out of the restaurant, hand in hand.

A/N- Lazel! Anyway I'll probably update soon or else I was gonna cram the Asia meeting in there. But yeah...um, next chappie will feature some future stories! And for those who care, I probably gonna update the child of time on Tuesday.

Lazel reminds of forbidden love. A Greek in love with a Roman. Ha!

For some reason, my friends think this story is alot like Valentine's day the movie. Everything's connected.

Weird.
