Hey! I've just gotten over some major WB so sorry if this chapter's a little...I don't know. Anyway, super sorry for not updateing in forever! Enjoy this, for I have not much time to say anything.

PIPER

It had been five days. Five days since they had left the old lady's house that seemed to disappear once they had all exited, healthy and replenished and ready for Greece and the Doors.

It had been three days since they had sent an update to the Camps, and told Chiron to send Ella the Harpy and Tyson to Greece within the next few days on Mrs. O'Leary.

It had been two days since the Roman demigods had started a near Civil War with the Greeks and Percy and Jason had their first serious fight.

"If you'd just listen to me, you'd find I know a lot more than it seems!" Percy yelled to the blonde boy that was storming away from him. Piper stood helplessly to the side as she watched, arms crossed, and standing next to Annabeth.

"That's the thing! I don't want to listen to you!" Jason yelled in Percy's face. A crowd started to form. Some were confused Romans who didn't know who's side to take-the son of Neptune/Poseidon who had saved their camp nearly single-handedly or the son of Jupiter who led them to victory in the second Titan War against Krios.

"And why not exactly?" Percy questioned, poking Jason in the chest, bringing his face within an inch of Jason's.

Jason stood straight and glared at Percy, looking him in the eyes, which was a feat in itself.

"Because I have seniority. Because I defeated the Titan Krios with my bare hands. Because I've already got a plan laid out."

"Are you serious?" Percy nearly blew his top. "Those are the three stupidest reasons to not listen to me! In this world, plans backfire, seniority doesn't exactly matter, and it's not about who you battle it's about why you're battling. I really would like to know, have you seen you're friends, people you've known for years, die right in front of your eyes? And you could do nothing to save them? Have you looked into the eyes of a dying man and were only able to stare right back, helpless?" Jason just stood there as Percy yelled in his face. "Well? Have you?"

People were starting to side with one or the other. Most of the members of Camp Half-Blood left to back Percy-Annabeth, Thalia, Nico, the Stolls, and Clarisse included. Many of Camp Jupiter's campers stepped behind Jason.

Piper stood on the sidelines, along with Leo, Reyna, Hazel, Frank, and a few undecided Greek and Roman campers.

Jason looked hurt that his sister was backing Percy instead of her own brother, and that was when he looked back into Percy's eyes. Piper looked at Percy as well and noticed that his eyes had gone cold and tears had started to spill.

"Have you watched helplessly as the people you've known for years died in a near helpless battle….waiting for you to make one small choice?" Percy's voice had become small and distant as memories overwhelmed him.

Piper had enough. She didn't want to see a (almost) seventeen-year-old demigod cry.

"Stop it! This instant!" She screamed so loudly, she felt vocal cords vibrating. "I've had enough! You two need to get your acts together! We're here to battle Gaea and the Giants, not ourselves!"

Percy looked at Piper, his eyes still damp; his sea-green eyes a hurricane of emotions.

"I'm sorry, Piper. I really am. I've just seen too much. I don't need to see it again," Percy said before he stalked off, Annabeth, Thalia, Nico, and nearly all the Greek Campers following him.

Jason glared at where the Camp Half-Blood leader stood. A man who had been supposedly offered immortality and refused (Piper knew Jason didn't totally believe that story). Then Jason's eyes softened as his gaze turned to her.

"Piper," He drew a deep breath as he said her name, "Please forgive me for my pride. I am not used to having to….live up….to someone else's legacy."

Piper could hear the bitterness in her boyfriend's words. She could tell that he did not hate Percy Jackson, just the fact that they were being compared and stacked against each other in odds. She could tell that he hated the fact that people looked down at him when compared to Percy Jackson. She could tell he hated the fact that people seemed to think Percy a more capable leader than he is.

Piper placed a hand on Jason's shoulder, then caressed his cheek with her other.

"I forgive you, but please, for the sake of the world, don't let your pride get the best of you, Jason Grace. He's seen….many disturbing things. He's been through this before. He doesn't want to see you or anyone else die because we only had one plan and it backfired, okay?"

Jason sighed, looked away from Piper for a moment, then brought his attention back to her.

"Fine," He said. "As long as you're there to keep me in check."

Jason smiled at her then leaned in for a quick kiss which she returned. She pulled away and smiled.

"Now go work things out! You two need to talk to each other alone! One-on-one!" She told him as she pushed Jason in the direction Percy and most of the Greek campers had gone.

Piper looked towards a stony faced Reyna. "I'm going to have to be ready to stop a fight aren't I?"

"Oh, yeah. Big time," Reyna nodded as she led everyone else towards the make-shift camp site that the Romans had put up in seconds.

Piper sighed as she made her way after Jason and wondered how long it would take for them to get into another fight.

So...how'd you all like it? Was it eh? Okay? Great? Bad? Could've done better?

Leave a review with your thoughts and/or suggestions for what should happen/what you want to see! I'm always looking for them!
