AN: Hey guys, I'm back! So, I got a few reviews, and guest, I'm sorry, Piper didn't have any previous boyfriends, so Jason unfortunately can't get in a fight with one. However, there will be some guys that he can beat up for flirting with his girl.

I got one of the longest reviews I have ever had, Thank you Lemon Dropz, and too answer your queries, there will be bonding with Piper/ Tristan, and also Tristan/Jason, though not so much. I wasn't planning on having Tristan meet the seven, but it's such an awesome idea, I shall now have to do so. Leo first I think... (after Jason of course). They (Jason/Piper) are not going to break up, and I think that it would just be stupid if they did. No mortal problems can break up those two. The only way they would ever be split up is death, then they'd meet in Elysium.

Read on and you will see how Jason will be involved...

Chapter 1: Who will be Prince Charming?

Piper was nervous. She wasn't going to call it scared, scared was reserved for monsters. Nothing really in the mortal world scared her any longer. Even if it was auditions for the guy she would have to kiss. Though she was an actor's daughter she had never really been involved in any of it, so she really didn't know what to expect.

She was sitting on a panel of judges in a white room, with Sebastian, her father, and a few other main characters. Sebastian was big on communication and co-operation. He wanted to involve his cast in the decisions he made, and he wanted a cast that could work together well. So far, Piper had met the actor who was going to play her father's right hand man, the actress who was going to play her mom, and some of the other actors. She had gotten on with all of them well enough, but she got the feeling they didn't know what to make of her. That was alright by Piper, she would be a bit worried too, if she was an actress and she was told to work with a famous actresses only daughter, who first film this was. She was glad that they were at least giving her a chance.

She had already seen about three auditions for the general, and she didn't want to be mean, but she wasn't very impressed with any of them. They were all so, average. She got the feeling that was what Sebastian was thinking as well. They would all be great for minor roles, but not as a main character.

What she was worried about though, was not the lack of talent so far, but the text message she had received from Jason earlier that day, just one word. "Surprise!" She didn't understand what he was talking about, and she was obsessing over it. Jason hadn't texted her in a while, preferring calls, and he had been a little quieter since she had told him about how she was going to be acting in one of her dad's films.

She had asked him if he was bothered by it, but he had said he wasn't, and as a charm speaker, she could tell when someone was lying. He just said he was thinking about something, and that she didn't need to worry. Then he had gone back to talking normally, so she had figured it wasn't something big. Now she wasn't so sure.

She brought her attention back to the auditions, and heard Sebastian say "Next."

All three of the previous budding actors have walked in and introduced themselves first, then proceeded to get into character to perform their audition piece; she could tell that this next person would be different.

She heard him before she saw him, marching echoing down the corridor, an even step, Left, right, left, right. Then the door opened and Piper barely held in a gasp, now she understood the text message.

The marching continued till the blond haired soldier came to a halt in the dead centre of the room, and, crossing an arm over his chest, bent at the waist, straightened, and spoke. "Jason Grace, son of Jupiter, centurion of the fifth cohort, member of the twelfth legion, and child of Rome. Ave."

Piper leant slightly forward, and looked across at the others, who all looked suitably impressed, though they didn't let it show too much on their faces, she could see it in their eyes. She couldn't help feeling pride in her boyfriend. He sure knew how to make an entrance. She saw Sebastian lean forward slightly, "Ave, Jason, are you prepared for this audition?"

"A centurion should be prepared for all eventualities, a disorganised leader results in unnecessary loss of life. I endeavour to be a good leader before Olympus and the senate of Rome. I am always prepared."

Piper gave a sad smile, and then wiped her face clean before anyone noticed. Jason had told her of the march on the titan's palace, and how, because he and Reyna had been organised, they only lost 20 demigods. But twenty of them had been Jason friends. She could see that he too was remembering that as he replied. That sadness in his eyes, that appeared every time he talked about his dead friends.

Sebastian looked even more excited now, and he lent back in his seat. "Then fire away centurion."

Jason swirled on his heal, and she could just picture a cloak swirling around him, he turned to the four men standing at the back. They were trained actors, whom Sebastian has organised to act as soldiers, so that they could see how each candidate directed them. Sebastian had wanted to see how each actor would respond to an aspect of insubordination on the part of their soldiers. Each of the four had been instructed to commit a breach of protocol, and wait for the potential centurion to react, for one of the previous actors, only one had acted up, but for another all four had. Piper wondered how many would act up for Jason.

Jason's eyes gleamed as he looked at them; Piper figured it had been too long since he had been able to go all out on a bunch of newbie's. He took in their slouching against the wall, and a frown appeared on his face. He marched to and fro in front of them, "You are men of Rome's army. The enforcers of the great empire. You should shelter Rome's allies and strike fear into the hearts of her enemies. I should look at you and see straight backed, proud member's of this legion." Jason's voice lowered dangerously, "But that is not what I see."

"I see four lily-livered boys, who are pretending to be men. I see four cowards who think they can do what they want because their wear Rome's armour. I see four pathetic layabouts who would turn and run at the first sign of trouble. It is my job to turn you from that. To turn you into soldiers of Rome who will die for their country. Who will fight to their last breath, and not run, should it be just them agaist a thousand barbarians." Jason looked up and down the now straight soldiers in a scathing way. "And I see I have my job cut out for me."

Piper glanced sideways at Sebastian, who was looking at Jason like he'd never seen anything like him. He looked like his eyes were about to pop out his head. He came back to himself as Jason finished, and tapped the table discreetly, the signal for the first soldier to act up.

The soldier on the far left broke rank. "You can't talk to me like that, my father is..."

Jason didn't even let him finish. "Your father could be Caesar and still I would not care." His eyes glinted dangerously. "Here my word is law, you are in my legion, and you will obey me. I can talk to you how I will. I own you. For the next ten years, or till your death, you are part of my legion. You will obey my every word, or you will be executed for treason. Do you understand?"

The actor gulped slightly and stepped back into line, "Yes centurion, I understand."

"I am glad."

Sebastian looked almost ready to explode with happiness; he tapped again, the signal for the second actor to misbehave. The one on the far right snickered at the telling of that his fellow soldier had just given. Jason whirled round, his eyes sparking. "Do share what you found so amusing."

The soldier obviously didn't head the implied warning, "Nothing centurion, except the look on his face."

"Oh?" Jason's voice was dangerously quiet, and Piper felt chills run down her back. "There are many things I dislike in this world. But few I hate. One of those I hate is a coward. Another is a soldier who ridicules his compatriots. You fall into two of those categories. I suggest you forget your hilarity, or I will make a mockery of you in front of the entire legion. We will see who is laughing then."

Sebastian signalled for the actors to stop, and stood up from his seat, "Jason, I think we have seen all we need to, please wait outside with the others while we decide on who would fit the part. If you do not get the part of Centurion Marcus, you will likely get a smaller part as one of his soldiers."

Jason approached the front of the room, and once more bowed with his arm across his chest, "Ave", and then left the room. His footsteps echoing behind him.
