Beginning is slow, a little bit action later on. I don't want to bore you to death though, so I'll skip most of the meeting.

Jason

Jason woke up to Leo shouting at his face, "Come on! We're close to Troy! Get your butt upstairs before I throw you up there Leo World Style!"

"Uh, just give me a few minutes." Jason groaned and shooed Leo out. He instantly passed out again.

The next time, he woke up to a bucket of freezing water. Jason gasped instantly shot his hand out, closing around a neck. His vision cleared. "Leo, what the hell?!"

He didn't reply. Kind of hard to do when there's a battle hardened fist closing around your airway.

He choked something that sounded like, "trugidnsie."

Jason let go and instantly Leo fell to his knees, breathing heavily.

"Couldn't…. wake… you….up…. only way," he gasped. He stumbled out before Jason went ballistic again.

Knowing there was no way he could to back to sleep anymore, Jason changed and did his morning routine- shower, brushing teeth and such.

Then he went down to the mess hall for the meeting. Everybody gathered around the table, eating foods from bacon and eggs to guacamole salsa pizza topped with snails (that was Leo, he really had a weird appetite sometimes). Nico was snoring loudly, while Leo tried to stuff some of his pizza up his nose.

Jason cleared his throat. Everyone sat down. Nico woke up, and gagged at the pizza up his nose.

"What's in my nose?" he coughed.

"Pizza," Leo answered, with a smirk on his face. Nico glared at him. "You're crazy."

"You say that as if it's a bad thing."

"As if it's not…" Nico muttered, but didn't argue.

"All right cupcakes! Tell me what to kill and let's do this!" Coach Hedge shouted and banged his baseball bat on the table. He seemed especially hyper.

Leo said, "um Ok, so we're about 2 hours out. A couple cabins from Camp Half Blood and the first cohort are going to support the push. Everyone else will stay offshore and land if the extra support is needed."

"Any ideas where the piece might be?" Hazel asked. She looked pretty happy right now.

"Well, the note said where the hero died. That's Achilles, so it must be somewhere around where Paris shot him in the ankle."

For the next half hour, Jason and the others talked about plans of attack, debating back and forth, and by the time it was over, Jason was about to die from boredom.

When it was finally over, it was all he could to not to let out a huge sigh of relief.

Every scattered, finding something to kill an hour and a half before the ruins of the city came into view. Jason was leaning on the rail, letting his mind wander, when Piper walked up next to him.

"Hey," she said.

"Hi." Jason mentally face palmed himself. Really, Jason? He scolded himself. That's what you say to your girlfriend- HI?

Fortunately, Piper didn't seem to take too much notice. She stared off into the distance, and Jason felt himself getting lost in her wonderful kaleidoscope eyes again.

"What are you looking at?" She asked.

"Nothing… just… you know, you're beautiful," he stuttered.

Piper responded by kissing him full. He felt a spark travel through his body that he got whenever she did that. When they separated half a minute later, Jason sat down, his back against the railing. Piper leaned against him and whispered, "In case you haven't noticed, Leo's been filming us up at the helm. Remember to pulverize him later."

"Will do," Jason whispered back. He glanced towards the helm and sure enough, a figure was standing there, a video camera in his hand. Jason resisted the urge to electrocute Leo right then.

Instead, he took something out of his pocket. Gulping in anxiety, he said to her, "I love you. I always will." And slipped the promise ring he'd been keeping on his finger. Piper looked at it.

The ring fit her finger just right, a silver ring dotted with tiny diamonds all around it. A large one surrounded by gold and ruby circles stood prominently at the base.

"My gods, Sparky… This is so beautiful."

"Only the best for you, Beauty Queen." He smiled at her and kissed Piper again. Piper smacked him on the head and they pulled apart.

"What was that for?" Jason whinnied.

"THAT was for calling me Beauty Queen."

"Oh, come on!"

"Well, anyways, does the ring have any magic powers?" She asked with a grin on her face.

"The big diamond at the middle opens up to a small, razor sharp blade. In case you ever need to stab anyone without noticing. It's dangerous," he warned.

"I'm a dangerous girl," Piper smiled, and Jason remembered that she had said those exact same words 8 months ago, when they first arrived at Camp Half Blood.

"I know you are. That's why you're so great, Beauty Queen."

"Call me that one more time and I'll stab you with your own promise ring."

He would've kissed her again, but suddenly, the sky darkened and storm clouds appeared out of nowhere.

Piper stood up and helped Jason. "What's happening?"

Jason concentrated on trying to disperse them. He swore when it didn't work. "A god's messing with us again."

Without warning, snow started blowing with category 5 hurricane winds, and Jason almost got thrown overboard with Piper. He managed to grab a shield at the last second. The wolf howled loudly and the ship tipped a little to port.

Leo's voice cracked over the intercom. "Jason! Get your butt downstairs! Khione's messing with us again!

Jason grabbed onto Piper, called for a wind burst, and they shot down, tumbling down the stairs as they watched the unexpected snowstorm batter the Argo II. "And stay down!" Leo's voice said.

"Come on, there's nothing we can do," Piper said and tugged his arm.

Listening to her charmspeak, they went down the mess hall and watched a romantic drama Piper really liked, called The Fountain and listened to Coach Hedge shouting "DIE!" as he attacked the snowflakes.

*Chapter's not over, don't worry! I promise to make this (sort of) long to make up a little for all the short ones recently. Linebreak!*

They weren't 20 minutes into the movie and Jason hadn't even understood the plot yet when the Argo II suddenly tipped to the left. Piper yelped and grabbed Jason as they tumbled off the couch and into the wall. "Ow," Jason murmured as the ship righted itself and he fell AGAIN- this time onto the floor.

"Sorry," Piper muttered as he got off him and withdrew her elbow from his mouth. Jason had even wanted to taste Piper's arm, and it wasn't an experience he wanted to repeat again.

"S'all right." He limped over to the intercom and pinged the helm. "Leo! What the hell just happened?"

No response. "LEO!" Jason said again.

Still nothing.

"Something's wrong. Let me go up and check."

Piper hesitated for a moment then nodded. Jason struggled to get to the helm, as the winds were still strong and the snow still poured down. He couldn't see 10 feet in front of himself.

Jason found Leo still at the helm, some sort of glass wall surrounding him and sealing the helm off in a little glass structure. He opened the door and closed it behind him before Jason could get pushed off the boat by a wind.

"Um, can I ask, why the windows?"

Leo violently shook his left Wii remote and as another wind pushed the boat and tilted it left. "Oh, it's something I designed in case this ever happened so I could stay up here. Don't worry, it won't break. You'd have to drive a truck into the glass to even dent it."

Jason opened his mouth to say something, but something caught his eye. To the left of the ship, a large thing of green was rapidly approaching the ship.

The ship was still at a 45 degree angle as it lost altitude and dropped toward it.

Jason's eyes widened in realization. "RIGHT THE SHIP!" He shouted just as another gust of wind smashed the Argo II and tipped it completely sideways and it smashed into the ground below and exploded.

Cliffhanger BWAHAHAHAHA! I hope this was long enough for you, the next couple will be about 1.5k words (I will try). Hope you enjoyed!

Quote of the chapter- Life is like a circle. NO wonder I'm so dizzy.

Song of the chapter- El Dorado by Two Steps from hell.

Entertainment of the chapter- City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. Just started Mortal Instruments and really liking it. I wanted Clary/Jace, but I guess a brother and sister dating is just plain WEIRD. I don't like Simon D:.

Peace out and see you in the next chapter… I hope. Maybe I'll abandon this story… MWAHAHAHAH! Jk I wouldn't do that to you wonderful people. Review to ensure I see this through to the end! NOW GO MY YOUNG PADAWANS! GOO AND EAT DONUTS! *DUN DUN DUUUUUN*
