So for those of you wondering about the last chapter, no it wasn't really based off of AmazingPhil and grav3yardgirl or Phan. I just used whatever youtuber's usernames were most convenient for the character and it's what I'll continue to do for the other characters!

Jason was scrolling through the comments on his most recent video about a tragic work experience (he may or may not have knocked down a child when his arms were piled high with boxes). Despite working for Youtube, he kept his job at the grocery store because it was rewarding in a sense. His job making videos didn't feel very much like a job, it was more like a favorite pastime; stocking the aisles down at Costco made him feel like he was actually doing something, no matter how stupid that sounded.

So yeah, the klutz had knocked over a child when he was carrying six boxes full of Eggos packages over to the frozen section. Everyone knew that IISupermanII was the kind of guy who, although he looked tough and regal, would probably apologize if someone in the room had farted and it wasn't even him. He was a fail, especially when it came to other humans. For some reason, this compelled him to tell his dumb stories online in his junior year of high school and let people laugh at his misfortunes. Jason's subscriber count had quickly grown and now, about to start his third year of college, the number was at four million.

He froze as a notification popped up at the bottom of the screen with a bloop. Piper.

Jason found himself unconsciously smiling at the skype message.

Piper: Just landed :)

He typed quickly.

Jason: I miss you so much!

Piper: ... Jason i landed hERE. in sanfran? I'll be at ur place in like 20 mins...

Jason: Too long! Hurry up!

He quirked a smile at her response, which simply read "Dork". Jason Grace met Kickthepiper some time in his first year of college; she had sat down next to him in the library one day and confronted him about Youtube. She said she watched his channel religiously for pointers on what to and not to do and found his awkwardness endearing, which was something he never thought anyone would ever say to him. Also, at that point, he only had around 700 thousand subscribers, all of them scattered around the world. He didn't ever expect to meet someone who recognized him. It was the weirdest feeling.

As soon as he got back to his dorm that day, he searched her name, Piper McLean, on Youtube and subscribed to the pretty Cherokee girl's channel. He found that she talked a lot about feminism and that he agreed with most of her points.

He texted her that day (yes, he had gotten her number (SCORE)) about her latest video on choice of clothing and society's views. They had a long conversation about freedom of expression and the judgement of peers and ended up becoming close friends. It was only a matter of time before Jason sucked up the courage to ask her out, and now they were one of Youtube's great power couples, right next to Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase.

Annabeth was actually the reason Piper had been away for the second half of the summer; the two close friend went on a big road trip with a couple other friends (Jason wasn't allowed to go; it was a purely female experience and his bro-ness and testosterone weren't welcome). It seemed like from the second she left California, Jason just didn't know what to do with himself. He made a few new videos and immersed himself in the editing, picked up a couple of shifts at Costco, and hung out with his friend Leo, but it just wasn't right. Talking to Piper through a screen wasn't the same as getting to see the expression in her eyes the split second before she laughed when he would tell a really bad joke. The video quality was never good enough. He missed her. A lot.

After getting that message, Jason spent a thousand years tapping his fingers impatiently on his desk. He couldn't focus long enough to watch an episode of Parks and Rec on Netflix and he couldn't bring himself to care about the comments that he had been reading with fervor just a moment ago. Instead, his mind raced. What was taking so long? Did her luggage get lost and end up in Narnia? Did she not manage to get a taxi? Was she in a car accident on the way back and currently on her way to the emergency ro-

His whirlwind of thoughts got cut off as he heard the front door open. Jason pushed himself out of the spinny office chair, tripped over his own feet, and ran to the entrance of the apartment. She quickly shoved the door shut and dropped her bag.

"Pipes!" he shouted and picked her up, spinning her in his arms. He put her down just as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss. It was short and sweet, but full of meaning. I missed you. He pulled away and rested his forehead against hers.

"Hey, Jason," she grinned.

"Guess what?" Jason said.

Piper's eyes were shining. "What?"

"I figured something out."

"Oh?" she said. She gave him a skeptical look. "What is it?"

"Not a bad thing," he assured. "It's probably the best thing ever, actually."

"And what would that be?"

He leaned in and kissed her again. "I'm in love with you, Piper," Jason whispered.

Piper suddenly reeled back and Jason felt the immediate loss of body heat. Piper held onto his shoulders and stood there for a full two minutes, staring into his eyes. Her face was a mask of shock; he couldn't gather any other emotions from her as she continued to watch him. Jason felt like his soul was being thoroughly searched, and the silence was getting uncomfortable. Then she spoke. "Say that again."

He smiled. "I'm in love with you," Jason said and put his hands on her hips, pulling her closer. "You being away for so long gave me a lot of time to think and it could've been about anything. I could have thought about fishing or pie, but all I could think about was you and how much I missed holding your hand and that time you got vanilla ice cream on your nose and how your shampoo smells like strawberries. I have so many good memories with you and I want to make more. It sucks when you're not around, Pipes. I need to make more awesome memories with you. I love you."

Piper's eyes were watery and she buried her face in Jason's shirt. He wasn't sure if she was crying or not. "I'm in love with you too, you big sap!" she exclaimed. "I'm so in love with you!"

He hugged her tight and kissed the top of her head. When she pulled back, she wiped a stray tear from her cheek and laughed. "Come on," she said. "Let's get food."

"Pizza?"

"Read my mind."

How did you guys like this one-shot? Leave me a review and let me know. Also, I guess request what ship or friendship and what you want them doing? Like a circumstance or discussion they're having?

I have a Percabeth idea ready to write!
