Heyy! Sorry.. I was soooooo busy with studies and stuff so I am reaalllly late.. But I'll cover it up with some good incidents now with Piper (And leave you in suspense with Annabeth and Percy ;)) So... I will stop ranting and say the usual..; Happy reading!

Piper sat on a bench, her chin leaning on her hand and frowned at the sight. Percy making out with Rachel? She could never even have dreamed that this was about to happen, that too, the very first day of the trip! Poor Annabeth! I possibly can't imagine how must have felt when Rachel did that! she thought angrily to herself. After that rude interruption of Rachel, Piper felt that she could punch her. How dare she?! she thought. If I were Annabeth, I would have slapped both of the two on their faces! And Percy hadn't even apologized or called after her. Well, how gentlemanly.

As she was thinking up bad words for Percy: stupid, irrational, mental, psyched... She felt a tap on her shoulder. She looked around to see Jason. Despite her bad mood, she couldn't help giving a smile seeing Jason in such a cute suit. The combination looked just awesome on him and matched with his startling blue eyes. Overall, he looked cute.. Wait, did I think that he looked cute? she thought. What is happening to me?

Jason smiled, and a little scar above his lip (that had been noticed by Piper every time she had met him) disappeared. "Hey, why the fierce look?" Piper looked at him closely to see if he was joking or serious. More than that she wondered if Jason had somehow understood her thoughts; but she realised that can't be true. She saw the mischievous glint in his eyes and understood that he was going to make a joke if she made any thoughtless answer.

Piper replied, rolling her eyes,"I'm not fierce." And just after that line she realized she had made a big mistake.

Jason laughed and sat down next to her,"Yeah right, and that face you made looked like a tigress trying to kill 100 enemies at once." Piper rolled her eyes and looked the other way to hide a smile in vain.

"Uh huh, I see that smile. So, now the tigress is calming down. Good, I didn't want to be her dinner." This time Piper actually laughed even though the joke was on her. But a short one for that. She soon remembered Annabeth and her former thoughts and her face changed to a dismal one as she looked away.

Jason raised an eyebrow. "Woah, looks like the tigress is in a bad mood." When Piper made no reply, Jason took her chin and gently pulled her face forcing her to look at him. "What happened?" Jason asked gently.

Piper sighed. Should she tell him. After all, he was Percy's friend. He might be able to help. "Look," she pointed over to the dance floor. Jason frowned as he saw what Piper had indicated; Percy and Rachel dancing in the middle, close together.

"What the heck?" he muttered as he turned towards Piper again."I thought he liked Annabeth! I never thought he would go out with that freak. Never."

"I know! I don't know how she brainwashed him." She told him everything that she had seen, how Rachel had interrupted the dance, how Percy had never even said a word to Annabeth after that. Jason's eyebrows pulled to the centre of his forehead. "That doesn't sound like Percy. But I believe you." He hastily added thinking about how Piper would react to his first line.

Piper looked down."Well, can you do something? I mean, if he truly likes Rachel that I can't help it and neither can you. But if he has been brainwashed please just.."

"I will," Jason promised. "But on one condition." Piper raised her eyebrows in question. Jason stood up and held out his hand as the song playing ended. "I will if you promise me the next two dances. Oh, and cheer up."

"That's two conditions. But I accept." she grinned as she took the his hand. Jason led her to the middle of the floor (How cute! she thought) as the another song started playing. Piper thought about how Annabeth had been pulled away from Percy when they had been so comfortably dancing. She wondered about where she was and in what state. Her eyes searched around for her but she couldn't find her. Finally her eyes were caught by Jason's and gave a half-hearted smile to show she was okay. They danced a few minutes in silence when Jason interrupted."Hey, don't worry about Annabeth. She is a strong girl. She'll be okay."

Piper narrowed her eyes. "How did you know I was thinking about her?" Jason smiled mischievously and replied,"Telepathy, Piper. Just my great telepathy."

Piper rolled her eyes. "Jason, if you have such great telepathy, tell me what I was thinking about before that."

Jason pretended to think for a minute but then another impish smile played on his face. "You probably were thinking how hot and cute I was."

Piper's face felt hot though she replied in a controlled voice,"I was most definitely not." Jason grinned."Really? Then why are your cheeks red?"

Piper needed no more embarrassment than that and tried to work up an excuse but failed. She sighed,"You are an idiot, aren't you?"

"A cute idiot for that though, don't you think?" Jason responded, making Piper blush all over again. She bit her lip and retorted in an as infuriated voice as she could manage."I should never even have come in the first place."

"But you have. And I know you're enjoying it." Piper was about to reply when Jason placed a finger on her lips. "Okay, okay. I won't talk nonsense any more. Sorry." Piper let out a contented sigh. She was enjoying. It was better than any dance that she had ever witnessed. She whispered against his fingers. "I forgive you Jason."

Then, as if they both were moved by an instinct to do the same, they settled in a hug as the song ended.

FINALLY! I GOT OVER MY FEELS! I WAS GETTING SO MANY OF THEM JUST SITTING HERE AND TYPING WHATEVER MY HEART GAVE OUT! The hug, I'm sorry it wasn't a kiss, but I have a special setting for that so don't worry. :) asdfghjjklfjijfjhASDFGHJKL I can't control sorry! So, I'd better leave before I get mad. Wait, I'm already MAd! Bye!
