A few minutes after Annabeth sat down Percy came back down to the table laughing with Piper.

"-but you were the one who hexed the lamp in the first place!" Piper laughed.

"You got me there," Percy responded.

Annabeth looked towards Jason. As usual he was tense because Piper was there.

"Oh hey Annabeth, you were wrong," Percy stated, "Piper does not like me. HA!" He laughed happily.

Annabeth's heart stopped for a nano second.

"Oooh so then who does our friend like," Thalia said.

"I can't say, you might know him," Piper blushed.

"C'mon you can trust us, we're friends again," Jason said. He finally wasn't scared anymore. This is was a big step for him, "Seriously Pipes."

Pipes.

Thalia said the last time Luke had tried to call her that Piper looked like she was going to slap him.

Only her father called her Pipes. He was a muggle. He went off to war and went M.I.A...

"Nope, not yet," she looked at her playe and started blushing furiously now.

She didn't get mad at Jason. Annabeth was never allowed to call her that. No one was.

Well except her father and Reyna.

Reyna went missing at the end of first year. She was Pipers other best friend. After the news broke Piper wasn't the same.

But Piper didn't mind Jason saying it.

Oh my God, Annabeth thought. Piper likes Jason.
