"We better head back. And thanks. My eye feels a lot better." Perci smiled.

"No problem. Friends?"

"Friends." She said and they both hugged. They both headed back to camp. Travis was waiting patiently by Tyler's old pine tree, giving his brother a thumbs up. Which was met with a groan from both Connor and Perci.

Cabin one was filled with gloom. Tyler had stayed under his covers for the past...since he decided to head back to his cabin after his little flying incident. So it was about a 3 and a half days. Jason had been stuck with him listening to sad songs. One of the being "I'm Not In Love" by 10cc and it was really bringing him down.

"Tyler...come on man. You have to get out of bed. Besides Connor and Perci are back." All Jason got was a groan from a bundle of blankets. "You can't just sulk around all day." Shuffling came from the Tyler's bundle of blankets. Jason was hopeful, thinking that he finally accepted things and was getting out of bed. Sadly, he was met with Tyler's hand flipping him the bird.

"Dude, I've never seen you hung up over a girl so much. Yeah I've seen you ogling over some of the girls from the Aphrodite, Demeter and Hermes cabins. But this is serious." Jason grumbled. "Come on lover boy, you have to get up!"

"No…"

"Get up from under the covers bro. Don't make me ask Piper to force you out of bed…." he was met with silence. "You asked for it…" Jason left to go and retrieve Piper. Coming back moments later with his girlfriend in tow.

"You sure about this?"

"Positive, I can't handle watching my brother mope around and do nothing in the cabin. He hasn't eaten a real meal in three and a half days. He's living off the bags of junk food that he snuck into camp. And he only gets up to use the bathroom..." He explained. "Besides I can't handle all this sad music any longer. You wouldn't believe how many times I was stuck listening to Taylor Swift and Adele's biggest hits for 5 consecutive hours. He isn't listening to Green Day or Fall Out Boy anymore and it's making me worry….."

"Alright Jason. Here it goes." She looked at the bed that was currently housing the troubled teen/technically legal adult. "Tyler Michael Grace you get your sorry arse up and out of bed." she commanded. Almost immediately Tyler got out of bed. Hair a mess, and clothes disheveled and overall disgusting. "Now go clean yourself up." His legs moved on their own to the bathroom. Electric blue glare aimed at both of them as he left to go and get cleaned up.

"Thanks Pipes." Jason said, giving his girlfriend a quick peck on the cheek.

"No problem...but our plans are seemingly failing. Maybe I should ask my mom for help…" Jason looked at her.

"Do you really want your mom to get tangled into this?"

"Not really….maybe as a last resort kind of thing…" They both stood there awkwardly. "Yeah I should go now...maybe we should just let them settle things themselves." Jason nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, that's a good idea."

Tyler grumbled as he went to get cleaned up. The water was running at a reasonably warm temperature. He stepped in and thought about, you guessed it. Perci. He didn't know what to think really. Just that he wanted her. Not just for baby making, like Hera wants. Which is really ironic...because she is the goddess of marriage. They weren't even married and she wanted them to get busy. He shuddered. His so called "mother" was seriously nuts, with a side of crazy. Overall his day was...unproductive and sucky. After finally cleaning up he headed back to his cabin. Hair dripping wet and his overall demeanor reeked of death. Which was mostly Nico's job. Several girls were checking him out but he paid them no mind. He finally made it back to the cabin and was just about to return to his moping. Under the safe covers of his bed, shutting the world out of mind.

But he was interrupted by a knock at the door.

"What do you want?" he called.

"Seriously, is that anyway to treat a guest pinecone face?" It was Perci….

"Mother fu…" he mumbled.
