Love Story – Taylor Swift

Here's Reyna and Jason's Love Story. I changed some lyrics.

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

There had just been some victory… The first quest where no one had died? Well, something like that. But little five-year-old Reyna found it hard to tell. During the celebration in the forum, five-year-old Jason walked up to her.

"Hi," he said. "I've seen you around before. What's your name?"

"I'm Reyna," she said.

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
Though the goddess said stay away from Juliet
And I'd been standing on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere Lupa can't find us
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

Ten years later, Reyna woke up in her bunk; the sounds of something hitting the window had woken her. She made sure that none of her siblings had awaked, and then opened the window and looked out. She ducked just in time to miss a shot to the head.

"Jason!" she hissed. "What are you doing here?"

"Come on out, Reyna!"

"But we'll be caught!"

"Not if we run away. Lupa's not letting me out of camp, but I need to find out what to do. Dakota had some ideas."

Reyna smiled. "I'll get my bag packed. You get yours also. Then we'll meet up at that place we went in September where Lupa won't find us. Then we'll run. 'Kay?"

Jason smiled back at her. "Of course," he said, and mock-bowed.

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if she knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

"Jason, stay quiet! We'll be eaten if Lupa finds us!"

"It's not my fault I'm clumsy!"

"Right. Come on! Camp border's right over there."

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
Though the goddess said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere Lupa can't find us
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh

Reyna had been tossed around by the Titans, them telling her that Jason was no good and that she should stop hanging around him so much. But at camp, Gwendolyn always said that they were perfect for her. Heck, the Venus cabin had even made up a coupling name for them. "Jeyna". Ugh.

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to Lupa, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes

In Reyna's dream, an older version of her had been waiting around all day in a tower. Finally, Jason the prince came along and Reyna came running out, and when she got to Jason, he knelt on one knee.

"Reyna, will you marry me?" he asked. "I've asked, and Lupa said it'd be fine."

Reyna smiled, but just before she could say yes, her dream changed and she saw Juno.

Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
