Ok this is a little idea I got last night. Tell me what you think about it and I really don't want to be spammed with Flames about the fact that I ship Jasiper and not Jeyna. So please review and let me know if this is a yay or a nay. If you like it I'll try to update again soon. So please enjoy and review. The fair that takes place is sort of based on a fair that I've been attending since I was an infant...I'm sorry I lived in rural Michigan where nothing really happened besides the local county youth fair LOL. So it takes place in the summer before their senior year and I'm not sure how long this will be.~ Bolts and Trees :D

Jason and Leo walked around the mall. They had just gotten out of their Junior year. Summer was going to be a blast if only the last third of their trio could make it on time to anything. Piper had change since the group had been friends since seventh grade. It was as if something had snapped inside her. She started to look and act more like Jason's sister Thalia. It definitely wasn't natural and they definitely missed the old hipster Piper.

So they weren't shocked when Piper's candy apple red BMW pulled into the lot almost an hour late. It was like Piper to constantly show up at least an hour late to things. They had a BBQ at Percy's on the last day of school and she showed up almost an hour and half late. Jason studied the outfit of the day that Piper had decided upon and sighed; a pair of shiny black combat boots, short camo shorts, a black Paramore tank top, complete with a red bandanna for a scarf. Her gorgeous chocolate brown hair was cropped into a Cleopatra style bob and her purple peek-a-boo layer showed, she wore enough eyeliner that Jason swore his sister Thalia andCleopatra would have enough eyeliner to last themselves a lifetime, her nose ring glinted in the sun, and her crimson lips curled into a smile when she saw Jason and Leo come into view.

"Sorry I'm late." Piper said as she took a seat next to them in the shade.

Leo licked his ice cream and shrugged, "Why are you late this time?"

"My car wouldn't start." Piper shrugged, "So what's the plan for today?"

"Well we're going to be meeting everyone at the fair. Hazel's showing Arion today and she needs our support." Jason said.

Piper snatched his shake and took a sip before stealing one of his fries, "Sounds like fun."

Jason noticed that she left a ring of crimson on the straw where her lips touched it. It was something that Jason hated, as much as he loved Piper, he hated it when she left the ring of crimson on his straw. Leo finally decided to break the silence and passed Piper a thing of fries, "So did you get your rabbits into the fair?"

Piper nodded, "Thor and Jane are waiting to be shown. I think I'm showing tomorrow."

Jason looked at Piper and recalled when they went to take the rabbits. The people who worked the barn, and had known Piper her whole life, barely recognized her when she walked up to the vet for vet check. She had begged Jason to help her get the rabbits settled into the barn and then they enjoyed a corndog from their favorite food stand at the fair which was cleverly enough titled the Korndog Stand.

"Are you showing both of them?" Leo asked.

Piper nodded, "I took them this year because Tony and Pepper just had a litter, Loki is being temperamental, and Natasha and Clint were molting."

Leo nodded, "So are we ready to head out and watch Hazel?"

"Don't forget Reyna." Piper added. Jason rolled his eyes, he was aware of the fact that his ex-girlfriend would be showing her horse and he didn't need to be reminded of it. He and Reyna had broke it off and it was a rather nasty break up. She had accused him of cheating with Piper and he accused her of cheating with Octavian, the school douche. So their relationship went down in flames and it wasn't surprising that Piper would bring up Reyna just to bug Jason. Reyna and Piper had never really gotten along very well so that did put quite a bit of strain on their relationship considering that Jason wasn't about to drop either of them for the other.

Piper twirled her hair around her finger and shrugged, "I'm ready if you guys are."

Leo stood from the table and the others followed suit, "Cal texted me and told me that Hazel's pretty nervous right now."

"We'll calm her down." Piper smiled and they all piled into Piper's car considering that they had Leo's mom drop them off.

The fair was already bustling with people who were showing animals and checking the things that they entered to see what the judges gave them. Leo's handmade table got a Grand Champion, as did all of his other word working projects. Thalia's pictures that she took also took most of the champion places like she usually did. This year she entered pictures of her dog Zeus, her boyfriend Nico who happened to be the in a band, and the moon. Rachel's artwork took most of the Champion board as well, Piper's baked goods were prize winners, and Jason's clay pots that he made in art class that year got B awards. He only entered them so he could get his free pass because he didn't want to pay admission for the whole week.

They checked the Horticulture Building and Piper's scarecrow received Honorable Mention, as did her tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers. She only trailed behind Katie Gardner who had gotten Grand Champion. Her flowers got A awards, and Jason's pathetic entry got a B. So finally they made their way back to the horese barns where all their friends were peptalking Hazel. She was pacing nervously.

Piper walked over and gave Hazel a huge hug. She whispered something in Hazel's ear and then a huge smile replaced Hazel's nervousness. Jason couldn't help but smile because that was one of the many amazing things that Piper possessed. She could calm almost anyone's nerves when it came to it. It didn't matter how much of a twister the person's nerves were in, she could calm even the most torrential storms with a hug, a few sweet words, and a smile. It balanced out some of the new Piper's traits.

There was a call made about the English riding competition for the senior showers aged 16-19 and Hazel led Arion out to the arena. The rest of the gang filed out into the stands, Jason immediately pinpointed Reyna who's dark hair was done in an impeccably done French braid, Silena who's dark hair was tied into a tight knot on the top of her head, and Hazel's who's cinnamon toast colored hair was tied into a knot as well. Percy and Frank held up a sign with Hazel's name on it in glittery letters and they watched the competition.

Sure enough like Piper had promised Hazel, she got the Grand Champion for her division and huge trophy for it. After all of it was done Hazel changed out of her riding costume quickly and the gang decided to go see what was going on around the fair. Jason looked over at Piper and made note that even his sister, who never wore anything but black, was wearing a bright blue t-shirt, her favorite pair of black low-top Chucks with blue splatter paint, and a pair of denim shorts.

"So Piper, I've been meaning to ask you where you got your tank-top." Thalia said pulling away from Nico for a moment who had his arm around her shoulders.

"Oh, I went to a t-shirt screening top and got it custom made." Piper replied.

"Cool, you're going to have to take me some time." Thalia smiled.

Piper and Thalia set a date to go get t-shirts made and then they decided that they wanted to go check out the goats. Jason followed along behind the girls next to Nico who was walking behind Thalia. Nico looked uneasy considering that he hated goats, "You know it's almost like Thalia and Piper have gone through a role reversal these past few years."

Jason looked over at the black clad teenager and shrugged, "I think you're right. Thalia hasn't worn as much black as she used to and Piper's worn more than she's ever owned."

Nico chuckled which caused Thalia to turn around and give him a funny look. Nico shrugged her off and continued to try to avoid the goats when the rest of the crew caught up to them. Now they were joined by Grover and Juniper who apologized millions of times to Hazel for missing her show.

"I'm hungry." Piper whispered to Jason as they walked around the Commercial Buildings after Piper got her henna like she did every year. All of the girls got hennas every year and the guys just stood there and helped them pick them out.

Jason popped a cinnamon roasted almond into his mouth and shrugged, "What are you in the mood for?"

"There's that awesome fry place that makes the best fries in the universe." Piper said.

"The vinegar fry place?" Jason asked her raising an eyebrow.

Piper nodded, "Besides, the only other thing I really want is an elephant ear but I've decided that I need something more than an elephant ear for lunch."

Jason laughed, "You can go get your fries and I'm going to grab a pulled pork sandwich."

Piper nodded and took the ten dollars that Jason was handing her to go get her fries and he went to go get his BBQ. They sat at a table in the shade and ate their lunch Piper occasionally would steal a bite of Jason's sandwich. Apparently she had given up on her vegetarian kick and decided that she couldn't live without real bacon anymore so she caved and ate meat.

Leo walked over with Calypso and Percy and Annabeth in tow. Jason looked at them and decided to ask where the others were, "Where is everyone else?"

"They're waiting for their corndogs." Percy replied as he bit into his deep fried cheese on a stick. As disgusting as it sounds it was one of the most delicious things Jason had ever tasted in his life.

"Why are you eating BBQ?" Leo asked as he handed Piper her own Cheddar on a stick.

"I don't know, I guess sounded good at the time and I was right there." Jason shrugged.

Piper took a bite of her cheese and then turned to Leo, "Do you want some fries?"

"With vinegar?" Leo asked.

"What other way is there to have fries?" Piper giggled.

"With ketchup like any normal person would eat them." Jason suggested.

Annabeth laughed as Piper smacked the back of Jason's head, "Don't judge until you've tried."

Jason rolled his eyes and decided to try a fry. He was actually surprised to find out that he did in fact like the fries, "They aren't as bad as I thought they would be."

Piper gave him a satisfied smile and went back to eating her lunch. She stole Jason's pop and once again left a crimson ring around the straw which drove him insanely nuts. There was a moment when the old Piper was beginning to show and Jason loved it.

Piper dropped Jason and Leo off at their houses around eleven and walked in to find her dad sitting up waiting for her. She smiled, "Hi dad."

"Piper, I'm going to have to go away for a movie. Can you handle yourself?" he asked her.

She nodded, "I've done it before besides Mellie and Hedge will be in and out of here."

Tristan smiled at his daughter, "Piper, promise me that when I come home you'll get rid of the nose ring."

Piper rolled her eyes and kissed her father goodnight before running up the stairs, "Don't forget that I show my rabbits tomorrow!"

"I'll try to make it!" her father called up to her.

Piper removed the wig she was wearing and the eyeliner that had remained on her face after a hot day in the sun and changed into her pajamas. She went to bed only to be awoken in the morning by the shrill squawk of her alarm clock. She quickly got ready and headed out to the fair because she wasn't sure what time she had to show her rabbits at. She sat in the rabbit barn and waited for Thalia and Annabeth to get there considering that they showed rabbits too.

Jason walked in and smiled, "Hey, have you been called yet?"

Piper shook her head, "Not yet, I don't think I show until after lunch."

Jason nodded and handed her the iced coffee he had picked up from Dunkin' Donuts on the way out. Piper smiled and took the coffee gratefully considering that she was still dead tired. Today she had gone for something a little more old Piper, but not completely. She wore a pair of denim shorts, purple low-top chucks, and a white blouse over a purple tank-top. Her nose ring still glinted in the sun, her hair was normal and braided over her shoulder, she wore thick purple eyeliner, and purple lipstick. She was almost back to Piper but not quite.

Jason walked over to the cage that housed Piper's gray Mini Rex Thor and got the rabbit out. He set it on his lap and allowed the rabbit to sniff around before he was called to show. Piper reached over and stroked the rabbit's ears and then looked over at Jason, "Are Thalia and Annabeth here yet?"

"Yeah they're getting smoothies, they should be here any moment." Jason shrugged.

Piper nodded and looked at the gray rabbit and smiled. Finally Annebeth and Thalia walked in with Percy and Nico. Thalia was showing a black Netherland Dwarf named Han Solo and a cute otter colored one named Leia, Annabeth was showing a gray Mini Lop named Athena and black one named Poseidon.

"I think we're all showing after lunch so I think we're ok for a little while." Piper said as the girls took out their rabbits and brushed them.

Jason was still holding Thor and Piper had decided to take out Jane who was a broken caster Mini Rex. Thor instantly wanted to run over to Jane but Jason didn't let any of that happen. Finally after the girls showed their rabbits they decided to head out to the rides where everyone else was. Piper ended up taking Best of Breed and Best Opposite, Annabeth and Thalia did the same. They found everyone by the Ring of Fire and Thalia instantly decided to sit that one out considering that she hated heights.

Piper decided that she didn't really want to ride rides either so she and Jason opted to walk around the fair for awhile. Jason decided that he was going to bring back the old Piper, not the reckless one that was standing next to him at the moment. He missed the old Piper. He had all summer to make Piper realize that she didn't need to wear eyeliner and wigs, or ride motorcycles with complete strangers. She needed to be herself, and he was going to prove it even if it took the whole summer.
