I actually really like Reyna- and it seems like there was something there between Reyna and Jason before he was switched to CHB. Honestly, I cant stand Piper. She annoys me so much, but I do want to like her; I think she's gonna be an important character to come, and it sucks disliking one of the main characters... but I would be totally fine if Jason an Reyna ended up together! She fits him better; they were both praetors, they're both warriors, and they both recognize the bigger picture: the world (and not being upset because you were giving Aphrodite's blessing, which most grateful girls would be happy about... *cough cough* but no, not Piper....)

Lol totally agreeing with u on that
Piper FTW!
Umm...I think Piper and Percy would be cute together. Call me crazy for not 100% shipping Percabeth, but I liked it better when they were picking on each other. I thought it was cute.And plus, Jason so doesn't deserve Piper. If you ask me, she's too good for him.

I hate Piper with a strong and fiery passion that corses through my veins like fire. (I'm not a chill person :p) The only person who can measure to that immense hatred is Jason. So please- stay together, stop being annoying, petty and totally superficial. Just take a step back and let everyone just bask in the awesomeness that is (cue drumroll) PERCABETH!!!
He should totally choose Piper, not Renya. I would want him to pick Piper because she is more of a ladies man. Renya is more of a girl who should be on her tow's, not being behind a man, I still like her but she is not a... good fit for him. He needs someone to break his heart. Not Renya
They both deserve him, but I think that Piper is better for Jason.
the next book is coming out AAAAAAAWWWWWWWSSSOOOMMEE!!!! The House Of Hades is going to be epic because so far Percy and Annabeth are in the underworld. see i dont want to predict i will just let rick ma man do all the creative staff oo baby imm too psyched WOOOO!! :)
i hope he goes with piper
Reyna because Piper is better and I don't like Jason at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Piper, because I think that she really cares about him. Jason should definitely pick Piper.
Piper all the way Reyna is just lost and needs Jason as a friend:)
Whaa dude pipers better then that low life reyna

I don't really like Jason (I think he's a Percy wannabe - but that's just my opinion) and Piper strikes me as a shallow character, especially when she was comparing Jason and Percy together...."wow, I totally agree. Before, I said Reyna, but now I realize a shallow boy deserves a shallow girl. Reyna can do better.
Piper's sucha girl! i'd choose Reyna if i were Jason!
To be honest, Piper and Reyna are better off ditching him. Jason hasn't shown to have any quality other than being a shallow jerk who has no leadership and no loyalty at all.
Jasper isn't going to end well. At best, it's a typical high-school crush that is based on looks. And I'm pretty sure Jeyna is dead.
Until Jason gains some decent qualities in the future books, he doesn't deserve to be with anyone at the moment.

why do people think Reyna and Jason is a thing. There is no love triangle. Jason clearly showed Reyna that he likes Piper and I don't think he was trying to be mean about it but Reyna had to find out he's not intrested at some point and if he could've talked to her to expline that to Reyna he would have, they just didn't have time there. Jaiper or Pison forever. There is no 3rd person here.

idk i think Piper is good with Jason, but Reyna is better
Reyhaneh wrote: "why do people think Reyna and Jason is a thing. There is no love triangle. Jason clearly showed Reyna that he likes Piper and I don't think he was trying to be mean about it but Reyna had to find o..."There may be no love triangle, but I think Reyna and Jason had feelings for each other at some point. Jason wasn't exactly mean to her purposefully, but he ignored her after what she had gone through while he was gone, and didn't seem to think to talk to her a little. He had enough time to have a small conversation with her, and it didn't have to be about his feelings towards piper and her. Which can be really hurtful, though he probably didn't do it purposefully.
And to be truthful, I think that when Jason talks to her about what's happening between him and piper, then she won't be a possibility, thought right now the chance of Jeyna is getting farther and father away.
I don't know why there's a lot of animosity towards Jason and Piper. It seems to me that the main reason why people don't like Jason is due to the fact that he's a "Percy wannabe." I don't think that's true at all. Percy and Jason are two completely different people. The main similarity between the two is that their daddies are two of the Big Three, so of course it's natural for them to compare their powers and strengths to one another (like how their dads always quarrel about their own powers). It doesn't mean that Jason is trying to be better than Percy. In fact, I found it rather sweet that Jason and Percy have started to develop a bromance in the Mark of Athena. It's better than them being at each other throats right? However reading a lot of the comments, it's either Team Percy or Team Jason. I love both characters and both of them have a lot to offer to the story. As far as Piper... well, yeah she can be insecure with herself that makes me wanna pull my hair out haha, but I have to admit, that's one of the reasons why I like her. Most people in relationships have gone through a sense of insecurity. It's almost a miracle if people don't go through that phase. With Jason and Piper, you get to see the challenges that they face being together, and just like all healthy couples, they address those problems and work it out. I guess it's not as adventurous as Percy and Annabeth's relationship, but again: two completely different couples. If I want to be fair, I remember being completely pissed off at Annabeth while reading the Percy Jackson series. The fact that she was always so irritated and jealous towards poor Rachel Dare kind of bugged me, just because Percy is the coolest--and most naive--guy ever, so I don't see why Annabeth had to take her frustration out on Percy and Rachel. Some people say Piper is shallow because she can be so insecure and bossy, but hey, Annabeth has shown to be very vain too. She wanted Percy's attention to herself, not to Rachel or Calypso--and they weren't even going out yet. Long post, but that's my two cents anyways. Overall, I really like each character and to say that Jason is a Percy wannabe really irks me, because I don't think that's how Riordan wanted his readers to see Jason as. I'm sure he tried to have Jason be his own character, but readers keep comparing him to Percy Jackson. Likewise, people compare Piper to Annabeth, and they're all different. It's funny how people pick "teams" but in the book, all of these guys are really good friends... so I don't know why people are hating...
Reading the Lost Hero, I had mixed feelings too. I really like Jason and Piper together, but I felt bad for Reyna, because if that was his girlfriend, that would be so uncool for him to leave her... THEN I read the Son of Neptune!! First of all, Juno/Hera left Percy with only one memory: Annabeth. Why? Because their relationship was strong. The way I saw it, if Jason and Reyna's relationship was strong too, Juno/Hera would've done the same thing for Jason. But Reyna made it clear that they weren't going out... but that they would've eventually because "that's just what praetors do." I'm sure that's not the only reason why they would've went out haha... But here where I was like, "Oh hell no b*tch!" Reyna offered praetorship to Percy, but also offered something "even more." I'm like... "Whoa is she REALLY doing that to Percy? HE'S TAKEN YOU HUSSY!" And then poor, old Jason...
So I don't think there's really anything going on between Reyna and Jason. There could've been, but the opportunity is long gone... or at least I think it is. Don't get me wrong. I actually really like Reyna's character, but I don't think her and Jason should get together. Not after she tried hitting on Percy Jackson haha.
I don't know why a lot of people don't like Jason and Piper, but I think they're pretty cool characters. Yeah they have stuff about them that I don't like, but not everyone is perfect. Piper can be a insecure complainer sometimes, but I remember feeling the same way with Annabeth in the Percy Jackson series. I was irritated when Annabeth was being so mean to Rachel just because Rachel and Percy were friends. I understood that Annabeth was jealous, but she was a literal b*tch to poor old Rachel Dare. I remember this one scene in the Battle of the Labyrinth where Tyson commented that Rachel was pretty, and Annabeth's "nostrils flared." Tyson wasn't trying to be mean. He can think whatever he wants, but Annabeth got pissed because... I don't know, she thought she was being compared to Rachel? So Annabeth was being a jealous twat and it really annoyed me when she was like that... for two books.
So yeah that's my take on the Percy Jackson couples. Percy and Annabeth... Piper and Jason... Frank and Hazel... and... LEO AND REYNA!! Haha they WOULD be cute together though!!
well we don't know what Reyna and Jason's relationship was like or where it was at before the whole 'Hera switching Percy and Jason's places' thing took place. But my vote is Piper. :)
I don't really like the idea of Jason and Piper. *ducks as rocks are thrown*I support Piper and Leo. *ducks once again*
People who dislike Piper, dislike her because all she does is gush over Jason. "Ooh Jason is so gorgeous" "His scar is soo cute. Did you know he ate a stapler?" "He is soo mine" She's as bad as Bella Swan! I like Piper, only when I look past her talking about Jason. She's not really a bad person, she's caring, and a good friend, but really? Get over Jason. He could tell her to jump off a cliff and she would gladly obey. Their relationship is undeveloped. It's almost like they feel compelled to date because that's what the mist said. I'm just hoping Rick plans on ditching the shallow relationship, which is based pretty much off of looks. Jason likes Piper because she's beautiful, and Piper likes Jason because he's 'hot'.
Leo, on the other hand, knows the real Piper, and likes the real Piper. When she was claimed by Aphrodite, he really couldn't care less. "She's got makeup, it's a miracle!" Words of wisdom. Leo doesn't care about Piper's looks, he care's about her personality. Can you see where I'm going with this? Some of you, maybe.
Forget what I said about Leo, and call off the angry mob. In response to this question, Reyna. I just don't like Jasper as a couple. You can put away your pitchforks and torches.
REYNA! All the way. For those who say you don't know her enough to pick her, I bet after reading The Mark of Athena you'll love her a lot. She's an ideal heroine; responsible, determined, powerful, not annoying, matured. She knows her priorities. And she's a badass.
Reyna cause reyna needs attention also jason and reyna go cute together
Kimber~!! wrote: "Piper disgusts & annoys me"Agreed, I don't like Piper that much, I mean I can see where she's important, but she just annoys me. I think Jason should choose Reyna. I was actually was kind of hoping she would be one of the seven.
Totally Reyna. Piper is, like, crazy. The only reason she's one of the Seven is the charmspeak thing. Reyna is a great leader, and she can hold on her own (ahem, Piper!!). Although, with the way Jason treated Reyna, he's clearly an awful person inside (Annabeth said she didn't trust him). So in a way, Piper deserves him because he's so awful.
PIPER!!! HE HAs TO CHOOSE PIPER!!!
piper, totally! i really think leo should stay single, cuz i totally like him better that way. he's more, well, leo.
Shreya wrote: "i really think leo should stay single, cuz i totally like him better that way. he's more, well, leo."True, but I think him having a girlfriend would be a great way for him to be included.
I'm pretty sure Piper and Jason's relationship is going to be torn up in HoH(I hope). Here's my really crazy theory...
You know how Rick loves to use the Greek myths for PJO and HOO? Like how LT was based off the original Perseus' quest and how LO was based off Achilles and the Trojan War? Yeah, this theory is something like this.
I believe Jason's story with Piper in the HOO series is based off another Greek myth, this time, Jason and the Argonauts.
In the original myth, Medea is bewitched by Hera and Aphrodite to fall in love with Jason so that Jason can succeed in getting the Golden Fleece. As you read in Lost Hero, Jason dumps Medea and his children are slain and yada yada yada, Jason eventually dies. Well, that wasn't the point...The point is that the original Jason dumped Medea and both characters parallel Jason Grace and Piper.
The Jason parallel is a no brainer (one shoe, blessed by Hera, has a ship called the Argo). The Medea parallel is in that Piper and Medea are both charmspeakers and were influenced by Aphrodite and Hera to fall in love with men named Jason so that both men can succeed on their quest.
Other evidence that support this (may or may not be as solid as above)
1. Hercules in MoA mentioned that sons of Zeus were trouble (foreshadowing?).
2. Piper thinks that Aphrodite is influencing Jason's thoughts (questionable but if Piper is right, that means their relationship like the original is fake).
3. That one Mist memory Piper has with her and Jason sneaking out to watch a meteor shower. (Jason was noted not to be a rule-breaker in that scene. Gee, who else do we know won't be so caring for rules himself?)
4. Adding to above point, Piper's memories of Jason can be modified memories of Leo and her. Piper seems to be more at ease with Leo than she is with Jason.
5. Percy Jackson, after regaining his memories, liked Camp Jupiter but knew he didn't belong there. Jason Grace had the same thoughts about Camp Half-Blood at the end of Lost Hero but at the beginning of Mark of Athena, he suddenly turns his back on his home camp without a second thought. So is he acting this way because he's actually a bigger jerk than Octavian or is it because he's being influenced by Aphrodite?
Why I hope this theory is true.
1. It's hard to believe that RR can make a shallow relationship with Jason/Piper when we have seen him done better romance in PJO and KC. Jason/Piper can be his deconstruction on the cliche "love at first sight" romance plot.
2. It can develop Jason and Piper (two of the most disliked characters in HOO) as characters. I really do not believe that Reyna could have liked Jason in the first place if he was almost as big as a jerk as Octavian. Also, Piper is quite a naive and spoiled character and it would be nice to see her realize that not everything can be handed to her on a silver platter.

naw... I'm really sure that Jason and Piper can prove Heracles wrong...they're so cute and in love with each other!

I very much agree.
