  CHAPTER THREE:How Bad Could Going Over Be?

Disclaimer:Unless Uncle Rick is secretly a Asian girl who doesn't like to wear glasses, types everything on her iPod, wears jammies until 10 am and has four siblings, I am not Rick Riordan and I don't own PJO and HoO.

⚡️⚡️Jason POV⚡️⚡️
   She nearly called me Sparky. Is she really Aria Crakeart? Or is she Piper McLean? I reach my apartment. It's a simple place with my bedroom and a guest room, kitchen, dining room, two bathrooms and a living room. There is also a balcony and a skylight. It's really cool. I grab a plate from the kitchen. It was one of those enchanted plates from camp. I wished for spaghetti and it appeared. It was also enchanted to clean itself, since I was pretty sure I didn't have any lava on hand.
    When I finish, I dig through my bag and start doing homework until it's 2.50. I take a towel and get into the shower.
-time skip 'cause the showering part is a bit awkward----
    I step out of the shower, put on a shirt and shorts. I wait for Aria. After about five minutes, the doorbell rings. I open the door. Aria stands there blowing bubble gum. She's wearing sneakers, shorts and a black tank top with the words:"I'm bored." She's also carrying a notebook and a pen and has headphones around her neck. I say,"Hey, Aria. You look good."
    Aria blushes, then a frustrated expression flickers onto her face. She steps in. She puts her stuff down on the dining table and plops on a seat."Excuse me, young lady, I don't remember telling you to sit down," I say in a mock British accent.
     She replies in a sassy tone,"Well, excuse me, I don't recall you ever saying I couldn't sit down." She smirks playfully. Then, as if she remembers something bad, she purses her lips and opens her notebook."Okay, I assume you took down notes about the project, right?"
     I nod, still a bit confused. What had she remembered that caused her to stop playing around? It must have been bad, because Aria doesn't seem like one to stop joking around. I take my notebook out of my bag and show her the notes. When she leans in to look at it, I smell her scent. She smells nice, of honeysuckle. I shut my eyes and breathe it in.
     "Um, Jason? What in the name of Aphrodite are you doing?"
     My eyes fly open and I find Aria staring at me weirdly. I am very sure that I resemble a rose."Urm, I-I...um..."I stammer. I'm about to open my mouth to come up with a excuse when Aria holds up her hand to stop me."Let's just continue." I nod.
    We continue in silence. We are halfway through the first part of the project when Aria's stomach rumbles. I look up, expecting to see her beet red, but instead her cheeks are only faintly pink and she glares at me."What?" She demands."Girls can't get hungry?" I nod my head yes they can and get up to grab an enchanted bowl. While I'm rummaging through the cutlery and plates, I think about how she reacted. Piper would have probably blushed. Maybe Aria really wasn't Piper. But there are a lot of similarities, argues a voice in my head.
    Finally I find a bowl and walk back to the dining table. Aria's headphones are on and she's looking at something on her iPod.(AN:Let's pretend Hephaestus created Monster-Proof technology for all demigods) She presses a button and sets it down."What are you listening to?" I ask."What did you get?" She asks in return.
    "Enchanted bowl. From CHB."I grin and nod towards her."How 'bout you?" She takes it off and puts on me."Guess." I listen to it.

Baby be the class clown
I'll be the beauty queen
 
"I have no idea." I say. Beauty Queen. Like Leo's nickname for Piper. She pushes me playfully."Listen."

We're so happy
Even when we're smiling out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court
And talk it out like yeah

    "Talk it out? Like yeah? Yeah?" I guess to satisfy Aria. She shakes her head in mock disappointment."Tennis Court by Lorde, dummy!"(AN: I was listening to Lorde😆)"Anyway, whadda want for a snack?" I ask her. Aria ponders for a few moments before telling me,"Potato chips!"
     I wish for chips and it appears in the bowl."Thanks, bro," Aria jokes. I look at her. She protests,"What? I'm trying to learn and use slang!""Why?" I ask.
   She opens her mouth to reply before closing it again and tells me,"No reason. Eat." She pushes the bowl towards me.
   I take a chip. Yum. Sour cream and onion. I chew on it slowly. I like to savour the taste. A voice interrupts my thoughts."Yeah, savouring the awesome, MSG filled, artificial flavoured, salty, filled with fat taste.'Cause, you know, best taste in the world." Says a sarcastic voice.
    Aria. Definitely. Also, the fact that no one else was in the room. I blink."How did you read my mind?"
    "You thought aloud, genius."
    "Oh." My face burns."Have another chip?"
------------time skip(eating)-------
   "Thanks for everything." Aria says and gets up. Just as she opens the door, we hear a loud growl. I know that sound."Hellhound," Aria murmurs. She straightens."HELLHOUND!" She yells."Let's go! Let's go!" She runs out of the door, I follow after her, gripping my gold coin in gladius form.
---waiting for lift haha jk running down stairs---
   We spot the hellhound once we reach the ground level. It's in a alley. We race towards it."Awesome," Aria mutters. I shake my head. Aria's sarcasm can be funny, but at a time like this, it's frankly unnecessary. I start to attack the monster.
    Aria pats her side, frustrated."Dang it! I forgot to bring Katoptris!" She cries. Katoptris ... I think. Piper's dagger! The monster swipes at me. I focus back on the monstrous dog."Jason, plug your ears,"Aria warns me. I drop my weapon, cover my ears and dodge the monster's strikes. Even with my ears covered, I still can hear her charmspeak.
    "Lie down." I have a urge to drop too the floor. I look over at the hellhound. It's lying on the floor, panting."Roll over." The dog rolls over. Warily, I lower my hands from my ears."Jason! Stab it!" Aria yells, charmspeak still in her voice.
    Controlled by the charmspeak, I pick up my gladius and stab the hellhound. It dissolves into golden dust. Aria sighs in relief. I eye her."Just now did you say,"Katoptris"?" I ask her.
💔💔Aria/Piper POV💔💔
    I gulp and manage to stammer out,"Um, it's what I call my, um, sword?" It sounds more like a question than a statement. Jason frowns and stares at me suspiciously. I clear my throat."Anyway, I better get going! Um, see you." I wave awkwardly and sprint away.
-------time skip to the evening----
   "Piper! Dinner!" I head downstairs. I hear my best friends' voices. Oh crap! Ari and Crystal are supposed to be coming over! I completely forgot. I see them lounging on the sofa."Yo!" Arianna greets me. Crystal rolls her eyes."Hello, Aria." Now Arianna rolls her eyes at Crystal's formality.
     "Hey, guys," I say, like a normal teen. I slide into the one-seater."Shouldn't you guys be eating?" I ask. Arianna shrugs."Eating? Nah. Not that hungry. Just a bit. To eat or not to eat?"
    "You should eat," Crystal says. Arianna asks,"Are you hungry?" Crystal nods."Yeah, that's exactly why you're sitting here instead of pigging out."Arianna says.
       Crystal grunts."I don't pig out." "You just grunted." Arianna counters. Crystal gives her the can-you-not-be-so-sarcastic-all-the-time look."What?" Ari protests."Sarcasm and humour is my life!""Anyway," I interrupt Crystal who'd opened her mouth to retort,"I'm gonna eat first then."
   I sit at the dining table. Two seconds later, Crystal and Arianna joined me at the table."So much for "can't eat because we walked", huh?" I say, nudging Ari who's sitting next to me.
    Ari shrugs."Change of heart." I sigh. Arianna has to be the most fickle girl I've meant. But most of the time she changes her mind for humour reasons; to entertain people."Actually..." she taps a finger on her chin."Imma gonna go back to the sofa. Yeah. No! Yes. No."
    We watch and laugh as Arianna has a mock "battle" with herself."Yes! That's my final answer." She strolls back to the sofa. After ten seconds(yes I counted, wanted to see Ari's new personal record), she walks back and slides into a chair."Nope."
    We bust out laughing. The doorbell rings. I get up and answer the door. It's Jason.
⚡️⚡️Jason POV⚡️⚡️
   I stand at the doorway, staring at Aria. She's still in her clothes from a few hours ago. I can see the monster dust on her from when I stabbed the hellhound. She looks pretty, jumpy and nervous. She kept looking over her shoulder."Uh, hey," I say, rubbing my neck."First, what are you doing here, second, how did you know my address?" She eyes me suspiciously.
    "Crystal told me, and you forgot your notebook and pen." Her face softens."I'm gonna kill her," she grumbles,"And thanks." As I pass the stationary to her, I feel sparks when her fingers touch mine. I know that sounds really cliché, but that's really how I felt.
    I'm sure my face is red. Aria is red too. Someone yelled something behind her. She takes a quick look at me before yelling back,"Coming!" She turns to me."Well, it was nice seeing you. Bye!" She shuts the door in my face.
   I didn't care anyway. My mind was processing slowly. Because I was pretty sure the name that the person behind Aria had yelled was Piper.
        "Coming!"
   No. I still need more proof.
--------time skip after dinner------
    I stare at my bedroom wall. It is covered in pictures of Piper and me. Wow. I'm definitely obsessed. Occasionally the seven too. The pictures are in the shape of a heart. Looking at them, I relive all of them. How do I either get Aria to confess she's Piper or get more proof that Aria is Piper?
   She might really just be Aria Crakeart, a little voice says in my head. Shut up, I think. Then I face-palm. I'm talking to myself. I must be crazy. Suddenly a lightbulb lights up in my brain. I look at the pictures again. I just might have an idea...
💔💔Aria/Piper POV💔💔
    When I get back to my seat, I see Crystal giggling like a madman. I raise my eyebrows at Arianna. She shrugs and gives me a sorry-about-this-but-you're-gonna-have-to-face-this-on-your-own look. Face what? I wonder.
    I look at Crystal. The giggles, the silly expression, maniac grin, squealing-oh. Oh no. Ccrraap. She's-dare I say it-fangirling. The way she's winking at me means that she's shipping me with someone. Wait-don't tell me-"Jiper foreves!" She squeals like a piglet and dashes out of her seat before I can kill her. She rushes upstairs and locks the bathroom door.
    I can still hear her screaming,"I KNEW HE WOULD REMEMBER YOUR ADDRESS!" Arianna yells at Crystal to shut up. I would chase after her, but I am seriously hungry. I sit down and snarf down my dinner.
--time skip after dinner and Crystal is calmed down--
    I tell them about what happened earlier, from the project to just now. Crystal squeals at all of the moments including Jason and I, which means every part. She annoys Arianna so much, she ties her up and duct tapes her mouth. Literally. I am not kidding at all. She says duct tape is magical.
   When I finish, Crystal is smiling like a idiot, and Arianna just sits there."Okay, I don't know what to say. As in, I really don't know. Should I be saying,"Yawn,""Wow," "Eww," or..." Crystal hits Ari on the shoulder and glares at her. She chuckles. I laugh along with Ari.
    "Oh, look at the time!" Crystal shrieks. She drags Arianna, still protesting, off."Thanks, Aria we should be going now!" Suddenly my phone vibrates. I pick it up. I'm just gonna translate it from dyslexia version to normal English.
    Jason: Hi Aria, when do you think we can continue the project?
  Crystal. That 'lil...ugh! I text back:
       Aria: Hi Jason, tomorrow at 4 would be great. I assume Crystal gave you my number?
   He replies almost immediately.
      J: Okay, tomorrow, 4. Got it and yeah Crystal gave it to me. How did you guess?
     A:Just a hunch. Cya tomorrow. G'night.
     J:Night, Ria.
     A:Hey! Who said you could call me by my nickname? Heck, who even told you my nickname?
     J:Crystal.
     A: I should've known... Whatever. Guess you can call me by my nickname.
  I shut the phone off, change into my pyjamas and get into bed. Surprisingly, I had a dreamless sleep. Again, whatever. I'm not going to complain.
   AN:Wow, longest chapter I've written so far. Okay, just because I LUV music, here's a question(I hope someone answers it, it'll be really awkward if no one does):How often does your fav song change?
   Me: Every week. I'm not kidding.
