Walking up, I realized thunder was rolling around. Wher was I? Oh right! I thought. Cabin One, Cam Half-Blood. I was allowed to stay here after the war. Good news, I didn't die. But, Hazel and Frank did. They were good people, and I kinda felt bad that they had to die so young. Especially for Frank, his life did kinda suck, having to protect a peice of timber from fire his whole life. Rising up from my cot, I realized I was wearing sweats. It was winter, again. I kinda liked winter. Besides it helps, with the offical anniversary on my part. Normally for special events with Piper, I would have dinner, walk on the beach, and slow dance in the sky. It kinda held a nice calm pace, often made her cling onto me, which helped with her a lot.

I glanced at the big statue of my old man and smiled. "Welp, I'm heading out." I sighed. Calmly I grabbed my Orange camp t ahirt a sweater and a pair of boots. Walking outside, I noticed Piper in her fuzzy blue coat, Her hair was coverednin what looked like snow, but that was strange since the camp borders didn't allow snowfall. With a faint smile, I walked toward her and sat down. "Hey." I said.

Piper looked marvelous. Her chocolate brown eyes held me in a trance. I smiled. She gazed at me and held her breath for a moment. With a small peak of laughter, she breathed and kissed me. It wasn't a peck on te lips. It was a long meaninful kiss. Slowly she ran her fingers through my hair. I didn't understand what came over her. Piper was never this affectionate, even for a daghter of Aphrodite. The goddess of love and beauty. Tenderly, my lips broke apart as I gaze at her with concern.

"What's wrong?" I asked her unsure of what she was doing. "You never act like this. Are you ok?" Piper just gazed at me for a minute, then she smiled. "Jason, we've been together for a year now, it's natural to get a little physical. I mean, we're teenagers!" Piper complianed.

She was right.We are teens, and what would Aphrodite say. She would even approve. Gazing at her, I felt a bit sad. I would usually try and make her feel better, but this was a serious thing. It wasn't like a decision on who to bring on a quest. It was about sex.

"I think this is something you should talk about with your mom." I said calmly. Piper smiled as she stared at him uneasy. "Jason, my mom is Aphrodite, do you know how much detail she'd put into the talk." She smiled. Carefully, she grasped his chin. "Jason, I love you. I know this is something I want to do. I only want you." With a calm kiss on the lips, she left.

As she walked away, I watched her. I couldn't get over the feeling like this wasn't completely her idea.

At noon, I hsd to report to the war council. By now, Percy and Annabeth had retired their post temperarily. Annabeth had Malcomn fill in for her, and the seat of Poseidon was held empty. I sat at my usual chair and held up most of the affairs. Chiron at times, butted in and held up his own end of the table. I mostly, tried to forget what Piper had told me, but the more I tired the harder it was.

After the council, we had lunch. Since everyone was kinda busy and I was the only person sitting at the Zeus table, Piper sat down with me. "So, have you made up your mind?" She asked.
I nodded, afraid of what she was thinking. "We could." I murmured.
"So it's a date, I'll ask Leo to make something that will help." With a smile she left. I calmly took a deep breath and burried my face back into my cheeseburger and mountain dew.
