So, this chapter is the sixth day. I'm going to do all the ships in order and the final climax with Annabeth and Luke (and someone else *wink, wink* spoiler alert!)
Anyways let's start with Jasper; it's been a long time with it! Happy Reading!
Piper hid a smile behind her hair as she watched Jason approach her from the corner just as she thought he would do. She immersed herself in the conversation with her friends as she heard his footsteps sound nearer.
The girls were sitting in a group in the living room of the resort which was practically empty with the exception of the staff walking around. It was in the evening that Piper and Jason had decided they would go out somewhere, or as they called it 'disappear into thin air', but the former was making it look like she was busy.
If he wants to go out with me, she thought, slyly. He'll have to ask me in front of my friends. Let's see how he does it.
Jason reached the group of girls. He had been trying desperately to make Piper look at him but in vain. He had to ask her in front of her friends.
"Umm, Piper." Jason started, not quite knowing what to say, because all the girls were staring at him.
Piper bit her lip, trying hard not to grin. "Yes Jason?" she said, she said managing an inquisitive look.
Jason was surprised she didn't do anything to excuse herself from the group. But he saved himself, understanding the plan of Piper. "Aren't you coming? You said we would go out, didn't you?"
All eyes turned to Piper, who turned a bit red. "We weren't supposed to go out." She said, feigning dignity. "Maybe you misunderstood."
Jason couldn't let go of a chance he so badly wanted. After all, his plan would fail. "Hmm. Let it not be a misunderstanding. Want to go out with me then?"
At this bold but sweet proposal, the girls couldn't help but smile. Piper couldn't hold it in any longer and smiled too. "Of course, Jason."
The girls, expert at this game, inwardly laughed as Jason led her off and Piper turned her head and winked at them.
"They look so cute together!" Calypso cooed over the couple as they exited the doors.
"Not as much as you and Leo." Annabeth winked at her. Calypso pouted as the others laughed.
"So, why the whole act?" Jason asked, as soon as they were out of the hotel.
Piper shrugged innocently as they entered the garden. "What act?"
"Come on, don't act so innocent. Why did you say it was a misunderstanding?"
"I just wanted to see your dare." Piper grinned.
Jason stopped on the spot and caught Piper's wrist and deftly pulled her towards him, his arms at her waist. "Seen enough?" He asked in a seductive voice as Piper blushed in his arms. "Or do you want more?"
"Enough." Piper grinned as she pulled herself away from him, her cheeks hot.
"So, what do you wanna do today?" Jason said, putting his arm around Piper shoulders.
"Hmm." She thought about it for a while then answered. "I want to climb a tree, and see far, far off."
She looked at Jason who thought it over and then replied. "Follow me, then."
They ran to the back of the resort where the fountain was tinkling its merry tune on waters. Jason led her to a big, shady sycamore tree. It had broad brown branches that spread widely, long enough and thick enough for two people to sit without the branch breaking.
"Let's climb." Jason grinned at Piper who grinned back. Together they climbed to quite a height and found a thick branch that would support their weight.
"Ladies first." Piper climbed over the branch making place for Jason to sit. Then they both sat down and started talking.
"How do you like it?" Jason smiled at the sight and then looked at Piper.
Piper was marveling at the beauty of the sight. The resort was built such that it overlooked a forest. From up her the forest looked breathtaking and the picture's beauty increased manifold by the orange plumes of the sunset waved in the sky.
"I love it," Piper whispered.
"More than me?" Jason asked, questioningly.
"You're ruining the moment. Also, I would push you hard if we weren't sitting on a branch." Piper rolled her eyes at him.
"Aww. Come on Pipes. You love me more. Admit it." Jason whined like a puppy.
"Nah. I don't. And why are you in such a flirtatious mood today, may I ask?" Piper cocked her head to one side.
"Just like that, I guess." Jason shrugged.
Piper shook her head at him and muttered, "Boys."
"Pipes. Can we play question and answer? Basically truth and dare without dare?" Jason asked, suddenly.
"Sure. You first."
"What would be your idea of a fairytale coming true? Like a love story?"
Strange question. But somewhat related to what I think it is, she thought. "Well, I would want my love to be there and then we would dance together or maybe just talk. Then my Prince would spin me around and confess he loved me. That would be perfect."
"But what if they couldn't-"
"Uh-huh. My chance. Why are you asking me this question?" Piper folded her hands across her chest.
"Umm." Jason struggled to find the words, his hand rubbing the back of his neck. His cheeks were bright red. "I-I just wanted to know."
Piper raised an eyebrow. "Really? You expect me to believe that? I want the truth, Jace."
Jason sighed. This was the moment. Tell her, he thought. "Pipes, I wanted to say that since we've been best friends, I always feel as if I want to be with you more and more. I love making you laugh and you are the sweetest girl I've ever met in my life. I don't know if you like me as much as I do you, but I wanted to be honest."
Silence. The waters of the fountain could be heard tinkling in the background. Piper smiled.
"You, Jason, are the dorkiest dork I've ever met in my life. How can you think that I like you?" Jason raised an eyebrow. "Of course, not. I don't like you, I love you. You may be a dork, but you are my dork."
Jason broke into a grin. "I'll take that as a yes, then."
And the two kissed. Piper had never felt so warm and happy in her life. Jason cradled her face, kissing her tenderly. When they broke apart, both had the brightest grins on their face.
"What about that dance you had dreamed?" Jason asked, holding her hands.
"I'd love to."
Getting down from the tree, in fading light, the two danced. A stupid silly dance, with Piper turning around laughing and falling in Jason's arms, but a dance no less. At last when they got tired, Jason pulled her over to the fountain where they both sat down.
"Whew, that was exhausting!" Piper exclaimed.
Jason put his arms around her and hugged her. "This is the best moment of my life, Pipes."
"We have something in common, then."After a few moments, Piper told Jason, her eyes gleaming. "The other girls are not going to believe this happened."
Jason laughed. "Neither are the guys."
"Are we going to tell them, or should we wait for the right moment?" Piper asked.
"Hmm. I don't know. I think we should tell them but how?"
"You know what? At the singing contest, we're going to take part in? Let's put our feelings in our songs and sing the ones which we think are the best. In the end we can say, 'dedicated to Piper/Jason'? How about it?"
"I love the idea." Jason smiled and kissed her.
"They're gonna be so surprised." Piper grinned.
Little did they know, the last day had in store for them many surprises.
