Piper was sitting in her room of the Argo II when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" she said.
The door opened and she saw Leo.
"Leo? What are you doing here?" Piper asked.
"I have a problem that I think you could help me with," Leo said.
Piper smiled wryly.
"You mean Reyna? Percy told me. He thought you might need help," she said.
"Well, that's the last time I trust him with my secrets," Leo said.
"Anyways, all you have to do is tell her how you feel. I know it sounds sappy, but that's really the only way that she'll know. If you don't tell her, then you'll end up like Percy and Annabeth were. Fighting all the time and everything gets a lot more complicated," Piper said.
"Thanks. I'll think of a way to tell her," Leo said.
Piper sighed as he left the room. Sometimes being a daughter of Aphrodite was exhausting.
_LINE BREAK_
There was another knock on the door.
Well I'm just really popular today, aren't I, Piper thought.
"Come in!" she called.
Reyna came in, looking nervous. Piper and Reyna had never really talked to each other. The whole Jason thing made it kind of awkward between them.
"Reyna! Can I help you?" Piper asked.
"Normally, I wouldn't ask, but you're the only daughter of Aphrodite who has half a brain," Reyna said.
"So what can I do? Guy advice?" Piper asked.
"Well, yesterday Leo carried me around because my legs were hurt, and all of a sudden he-"
"Ran into the ocean cursing Aphrodite," Piper finished for her.
"Is it that known?" Reyna asked.
"No, Percy told me. And Leo came to talk to me," Piper said.
"Really?" Reyna asked.
"Yeah. So, do you like him?" Piper asked.
"I don't know," Reyna said. "It's not like how I felt with Jason. He was my best friend, and I felt comfortable around him. I never had to worry about making a fool of myself. That's why it was so easy for me to delude myself that I was in love with him. With Leo, I want to see him all the time. Whenever he is around me, my brain kind of goes fuzzy. Whenever he touches me my skin tingles. what does that mean?" Reyna said.
"It means you like him," Piper said, smiling smugly.
"So now what do I do?" Reyna asked
"You tell him how you feel!" Piper said.
"Isn't that a bit…. sappy?" Reyna said uneasily.
"Yes, but it is the most direct course. Is that what you Romans want?" Piper asked.
Reyna nodded once.
"So then go tell him!" Piper exclaimed.
After Reyna left, Piper realized just how much of an Aphrodite girl she really was
