Jason and Piper Proposal 8

Carving Pumpkins

Piper and Jason were sitting on a picnic table on Pipers back porch carving pumpkins for Halloween in three days. The "pumpkin guts" as Piper called them were covering the table.

Piper was carving a mediocre 'scary' face into hers, with the triangle eyes and the mouth with fangs. Jason was carving something a little more complex, when he first had the idea he though it would be easy, but carving words into a pumpkin proved much harder than just writing them.

He had been with Piper officially for seven years, after sailing back to the Legion camp and finding out that him and Reyna had broken up a few weeks before he went missing. He wished Piper had always been the girl, and that there never was a Reyna.

Since then he had seen a lot of love at Camp Half-blood. The older capers were getting married left and right, the current Aphrodite cabin had a list of the engaged (and date of wedding) the married and the parents. Jason wanted his and Pipers names added to the list very soon.

The sun had long since set, so they carved off the tops and dropped the candle in. Jason turned off the porch lights and lit their candles.

"What do you think?" Piper asked, turning her pumpkin around to show Jason. One eye resembled more a square than a triangle and the nose looked about as good as Lord Voldemort's, but he still said, "It looks great, what do you think of mine?"

Jason looked at the words "Will you marry me," all lit up shining through the jack-o-lantern. He turned his around, hoping his bad carvings were readable. Apparently they were because Piper nearly started crying and said yes.

Halloween was defiantly Jason's new favorite holiday.
