So at the end of TLH, when they are like, teleported back to camp and Piper is standing on Drew's pizza, I was all GASP. Because Drew's PIZZA. What typical mean bitch-queen eats pizza? And also how dare she defile such a beautiful creation with her feet. Like seriously. You can take her crown and her friends but you cannot ruin her pizza. That is too much.
(OhIforgot, thanks so much to The Twins From Mordor. I finally understand your name(s). Because I finally watched LOTR. Just Fellowship. But it's a start.)

She thinks she should get thinner.
Because thinner is hotter is prettier is more popular. So she thinks she should start dieting. And so she does.
And she's strong about it too. No more late night hot-chocolate-and-gossip fests, no more popcorn during chick flick marathons. When Mitchel breaks up with his first girlfriend, she doesn't even cheat with all of the boxes of chocolate they have stocked as comfort food (because no one does just-broke-up like the Aphrodite cabin).
But then, one day, she goes out shopping with the rest of the cabin. A full day of long, hard shopping, getting the best deals and scoring the cutest dress ever, and she's so hungry. "Do you want to get pizza?" someone asks. And she's about to refuse but then they're standing in front of the parlor and it's the smell of sweet, sweet, greasy, melty cheese-and-tomato-and-dough-and-pineapple-and-bliss and she melts like mozzarella.
Who needs to be skinny, she thinks. There's nothing more beautiful than her and pizza, and this is the one relationship she has faith in.
