Eros sat on his mother's couch watching his favorite couple, Jasper, on her love TV. He was currently house-sitting for her and was extremely bored so indulged him to spying on Jason and Piper. They looked so cute together. (If he was honest with himself, it was probably because they were so much like two certain characters in a book called The Hunger Games)

No. That wasn't it. I mean, an olive-toned, independent, brave girl with a braid in her dark-colored hair falling in love with a blonde- haired blue-eyed boy with screwed-up memories was extremely common. (Yeah, as common as purple gorillas.)

About then, Dionysus knocked on the front door. Eros went to go answer it.

"What are you doing here?" Dionysus asked Eros suspiciously.

"What are you doing here?" Eros mocked.

"Looking for your mother. I wanted to make sure my son's curse had been removed. I have checked his cabin, and found his secret stash of books, which includes The Hunger Games, which is an insanely amazing book, a book that should be blasted into bits, entitled The Orchid and Gumbo Poker Club, and all the damn Twilight books, including the graphic novels, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner and the f*cking illustrated guide. "

"No need to be so potty-mouthed, dear friend. " Eros said. Dionysus shrugged.

"Eh, whatever. But you never did answer my question. What. The. F*ck. Are. You. Doing here?" Dionysus said, making a point of using his colorful vocabulary.

"I was house-sitting but then I started watching my favorite couple Jasper."

"Who?" Dionysus asked, confused.

"Jasper. You know, Jason and Piper."

"I don't care." Dionysus said "And besides, Jasper is the kind of pairing name that takes you a long time before you realize who it's talking about. If you want a good pairing name, try Keeta."

"Oh I love Keeta. But I call them Peetniss" Eros said, off in his Hunger Games obsessed mind. "Wait a second. How dare you trash Jasper!"

"It's a stupid pairing name." Dionysus said, dismissively. "And what in the Hades is Peetniss. Do you even know how gross that sounds?"

"You don't like Jasper, but everyone else does." Eros insisted.

"Ask any gods." Dionysus said, challenging him. "I'd bet anything that the first three gods we ask will agree with me."

"Oh, you're on!"

The two gods headed to Hephaestus's forge. Eros was nervous. His stepfather hated his guts. What was Dionysus trying to prove?

"I'd bet anything that the first three gods we ask will agree with me."

Eros should've known he'd do something like this; take him only to gods who hated him.

"What do you guys want?" The god of the forges asked the two men, glaring at Eros, but trying to hide it. It really didn't work too well.

"Dionysus said my pairing name was stupid." Eros screamed.

"What was the name?" Hephaestus asked his stepson suspiciously. What did they really want? He was pretty sure it wasn't to talk about pairing names. Hermes was probably using them as a distraction so he could prank him.

"Jasper."

"Who is that?" Hephaestus said. He was confused.

"Jason Grace and Piper McLean"

"Dionysus is right. It sounds like the kind of pairing that my wife is always ranting about whenever I actually see her; you know, the kind of pairing that takes forever for you to understand who it is talking about. Now, if you excuse me, I've got to make a fast trap for a certain prankster." He walked away. Eros looked at Dionysus arrogantly.

"You may have won this round, you alcoholic bastard—"

"Eros, you're a bastard too, unless you're mysteriously Hephaestus's kid, which I am 100% sure you're not. "

"Not the point. Anyway, I pick the next god we talk to, and I pick: my father."

Ares stood in his palace leaning on his island counter, staring at his son and half-brother, who stood on the other side.

"Step-father was being mean to me." Said his son. Ares instantly started to think of ways to torture that man in the worst ways possible.

"How was he being mean?" Ares asked him, trying to contain his anger.

"He told me my pairing name was 'the kind of pairing that takes forever for you to understand who it is talking about."

'Really? Pairing names?' thought Ares' He needs to grow up and be a man.'

"What was it?" Ares asked. He really couldn't help himself. So much for being a man.

"Jasper."

"Whose pairing is that?" Ares asked. It confused him.

"Jason and Piper."

"Your stepfather is right. Now leave me alone." Dionysus couldn't help but smirk. Dionysus: 2; Eros: 0. Eros pouted.

Aphrodite headed to her home after a whole day of fishing. She hoped there really was more fish in the sea, because all these potential lovers weren't handsome enough. Yeah. That's right. She wasn't fishing for fish. That was Poseidon's job.

Anyway, she got back and saw that Dionysus and Eros stood outside, leaned up against her pink convertible. She giggled. They looked so ridiculous.

"Hey mom! You're going to be so proud of your son when you hear this. I spied on Jasper!"

"Really! You spied on Jasper Hale? That's awesome."

"Aphrodite, according to Eros here, that's the pairing name for Jason and Piper, whoever they are." Dionysus said.

"Jason is Zeus's son and Piper's my daughter, but their pairing name is Jiper. Not Jasper. Jasper is the kind of pairing that takes forever for you to understand who it is talking about."

Eros decided to go with Dionysus to Camp Half-Blood, trying to get away from his mother. He was afraid to see her. She was probably extremely disappointed in him.

He got there and saw Jason and Piper holding hands by the lake. He knew Jason visited Piper here a lot. So, he was not surprised.

He walked up to them and politely greeted them. "Hello Jason and Piper."

"Who are you?" Jason asked him awkwardly.

"I am Eros." He said in a Mexican accent. Who knew why. "The love god."

"Oh, gods." Said Piper, followed by a groan. "What's our pairing name?" If anyone knew, it would be a love god. She had to know. It better not be ridiculous.

Eros jumped at the chance. While his pairing name didn't work on Olympus, surely it would work with the demigods.

"Jasper." He answered. Piper buried her head in her hand.

"Jasper," Jason said, trying it out. "Sounds like the kind of pairing name—"

"I know. I get it. Jasper is the kind of pairing that takes forever for you to understand who it is talking about." Eros said angrily before storming away.

Jason looked at Piper curiously. "What's his problem? All I was was going to say was it Sounds like the kind of pairing name that's really cool. I mean, it's better than Percabeth."

Piper rolled her eyes. Men
