My humble followers in the land of Liper! How do you do!? *waves regally from the top of a tall tower upon you awesome beings, wearing a pointy princess hat as well as a poofy pink dress*
Anyway, how's life? Life's good for me. Been totally lazy all summer, which I'm wondering if I should be worried about or not. I mean, one day I'll be old (if God permits) and I'll look back at 2013 summer and say... "Oh, I remember that year... I did absolutely nothing... I should have done more with my life."
Anyway...

Piper
Piper got up a lot earlier than everyone else in her cabin. She dressed quickly and snuck outside. A few straying campers wandered about before breakfast, but no one was really truly awake.
The daughter of Aphrodite wished she could continue working on the project without Leo, but he was the one with all the pages. Instead, she went to the camp's school (where you learn all about Greek myths and stuff) and took out a book on Gaea. She took it to a desk and began to read.
Leo joined her a half-hour later. "Good to see you up," Piper commented without lifting her eyes from the page.
"And I brought someone," said Leo.
Piper looked up. "Who?"
Chime fluttered in, whistling while flying in lazy circles around the room. Piper laughed, closing her book gently.
"I thought you might want to see her," said Leo. He pulled a desk up next to Piper's and laid down the sheets on there. He pulled out a mechanical pencil and slammed it down next to them. Chime fluttered down onto Piper's shoulder, peering down at their project obliviously.
"To finish this, I want to skip all the things scheduled for today," said Leo. "It's sort of like skipping school, but for a noble cause."
"Very noble," agreed Piper, nodding. "So, where should we start today?"
They gave themselves five minutes to discuss. Chime pecked at Piper's ear affectionately during this time, unknowing of what Piper and Leo were actually saying. Eventually, Leo came to a decision.
"We need more help," he announced.
"We can't tell; remember?" asked Piper. "If we do the Romans will figure us out and everyone will write us off as liars and the Romans will probably kill us."
"I meant indirectly," said Leo, stashing the pages into his pocket. "Ask some Athena kid for all the myths about Gaea and full detail about the Second Titan war. And Romans."
"Sure," Piper agreed. "That could work."
"I don't think you're going to be visiting anyone today," said a voice behind them. Neither Piper nor Leo had time to whirl around to see who it was before their heads were smashed together in an awesome-on-TV-but-not-so-much-in-real-life way. They were both unconscious before they hit the floor.
Oh, gods, I just realized how truly short that was.
Thousands of apologies! And because of this lack of chapter, I'll answer some reviews

Anyway, please review, and I'm still taking requests. I've got three so far, from Gabsters, The Minun, another one from The Minun. (Though Gabsters, I already have the idea and I don't think that'll happen. But I'll let you in on a secret... hazelandleoandpiperdobecomeanepictriotodefeattheev ilromans.)
Peace out!
