Piper

"Hey, Nico." Piper said as she strolled into the hades cabin. "You wanted to talk to me about something?" Nico looked up from what he was doing, startled. "Uh-yeah s-something to talk to you... about. "Nico, are you ok?" Piper asked. "Yeah just a little nervous." Piper sat down by Nico in his bunk and looked around to see if anyone was there. "What is it?" she whispered. "Uh..." Nico shuddered. "It's- it's Will." Nico spat out. "Will Solace?" Piper asked. "Yeah..." Nico said. "I-I think I like him... Ok?" Nico raised his voice, suddenly angry. Piper jumped back a little. "And your supposed to help me!" Nico continued, now yelling, "Because your a daughter of Aphrodite!" Nico then got up from the bed, briskly walking out of the room with tears streaming down his face. Piper just sat there, too shocked to move. That explained a lot. Piper got up and ran out of the hades cabin, looking for Nico, but he was already gone. Instead, she ran into Jason. "Jason!" she said breathlessly, "Nico- have you seen him?" she asked. "Nico? What Nico? Who's Nico? I defiantly don't know anything about Nico!" He said nervously. "Jason... What are you hiding?" Piper asked, taking hold of his hands and using her puppy-dog eyes. "Arrrrgh!" Jason said. "Fine! Nico likes Percy! Ok? Nico likes Percy!" He said. "What?" Piper asked. "You've got it wrong, she said "he just told me he likes Will!" "What?" Jason asked. "What does he see in him?" "Jason!" Piper yelled, tugging his arm. "I'm just kidding!" He laughed. "This is serious!" Piper said. "We've got to help him out!" He can't just be miserable his whole life." "Hey, your the daughter of Aphrodite," said Jason "you know all things love." "I'm sure you can figure this out." Jason said. "You mean your not going to help me?" Piper yelled. "Hey, I'm the son of Zeus!" "Zeus isn't known for being all lovey-dovey!" Jason said. "Do you know how many children he has?" Piper said, exasperated. "I didn't mean it like that!" Jason said, blushing. "Urrrgh!" Piper yelled, and stormed down the hill, Jason was calling after her, but she didn't care. She was on a mission. She knew just the person to go to to help Nico with his problem.
