I think that he'll shake his head and say, "Wait till I get my memory back,"

I think Piper might understand, just not Reyna, because she might think that if Percy has his memory back, Jason must have his back. She might be confused, because he doesn't! :-P

STARTS HERE:
Well... while reading The Lost Hero, I was analyzing the character development of each character and I have to say that I was a bit disappointed with Piper's. Sure, there was also something wrong with Leo and Jason but I kind of focused on Piper because she's the one that I'm trying hard to like the most because at first she seemed a decent one. I mean she's so pretty, nice and all those other characteristics that would make you want to tell that that person is perfect but I just kind of didn't 'feel' her character.
So when they were on the quest, I really tried liking her and observing her development and I'm not happy to say that she didn't (in my opinion) developed that much.
Personally, I think the flaws of a person makes that character more real. For example: Drew. She is mean, a flirt and a bully but don't we all have people like her in our lives? Then there's Octavian. He's more of like the antagonist but don't we all have a person like him that we encounter? There's also Rachel coming in between Percy and Annabeth. Then, there's Annabeth's pride and jealousy of Rachel (in the earlier books). But that's what makes them unique.
It's just that with Piper, I can't seem to find anything like those. Sure, her dad ignores her, she hates make-up and is like a tomboy, she gets kicked-out of school and is bullied by Drew, but what is her own flaw that makes her a 3D character?
I was just wondering. I don't mean to offend anyone. Plus, (for me only) she seems to be a bit clingy to Jason and I kind of don't like how she can suddenly 'charm speak' Jason to wake up without practicing with it at all. (For me) It's bad enough that she's overwhelmingly pretty and a bad-ass at the same time but making her have all those 'neat' powers without practicing in camp makes it a bit worse.
I mean I would love and adore her if I read the book when I'm around 9 or 10 but now that I'm five months away from being thirteen, I just can't can't seem to have a fandom of her. She's just flat, in my opinion.
I can't find anything else to make her realistic.
She's a bit too perfect, for me. And judging just from the Lightning Thief, her character is cheap and flat compared to Annabeth's, Percy's and Grover's. I'm sorry I had to write it but I'm merely expressing my own opinion.
Reyna, on the other hand, has things to make her interesting. Yes, she is strict, stiff and somewhat cold to others but that's what makes her mysterious and makes me want to see what's behind all that. She's strong but has a reason to be strong. She had a bad past and is willing to protect her home. She acts like she doesn't care but is willing to give things up for the legion. She's more of the type that I would want to read more about. It just makes me curious. She acts for her people and not only for her sake. It makes her somewhat like Annabeth, Rachel and Thalia: 3D characters.
If you're wondering why I'd say Rachel is a 3d character, I have several reasons:
1. She has a dad she doesn't like because of what he does, yet is willing to face his conditions for her friends.
2. Just as what Percy said, she's brave like Annabeth, only in another way.
3. She wasn't exactly described much physically but rather how she acts which makes me like her. It's more of about liking her because of all the dialogues and movement but not because of what other people think about her.
4. Despite the two stated above, she has flaws that makes her more realistic.
Same goes with Thalia and Annabeth.
Anyway, Piper is ok (even though for me, she's a flat character), and I'm interested in Reyna's character. I'd pick Reyna over Piper.
Reyna is the leader who's more like willing to make herself look bad for the sake of all. She's like willing to sacrifice her wants to satisfy others. It's just my opinion.
And if I was asked to pick who is better off with Jason, then it's Reyna for me.
Yes, they may not have been a couple but they may want to be. Besides, if Reyna is worried about Jason and is glad to have him back, there must have been more that a simple crush there to the point that she's willing to delay the elections.
Besides, we only heard it from Reyna's view. Who knows, Jason may have planned for them to be closer since his feelings may have been strong?
ENDS HERE:
Besides, I doubt that after staying in Camp Jupiter for a few years, nothing made Jason's feelings strong for Reyna. Also, it's not like there's no hope for the two of them. Surely, they have a history and if I were Rick Riordan, I'd start there relationship from there. I just don't think Jason and Piper would be a good couple. They are just too alike. For me, it's like "perfect boy" and "perfect girl".
This is also why I'd pick Piper with Leo.
Anyway, I'd pick Jason/Reyna, and if it becomes Jason/Piper in the book, then I also have no objection. After all, I don't read the series for the sake of romance. I read it because of its substance.
Thanks!

I completely agree with you, I just couldn't relate to Piper as much as I could with Annabeth, Thalia, Reyna, and Rachel. I had something in common with each of them, and I loved them because of their flaws. They all made mistakes, for example, Annabeth wanted to hear the Sirens, but those mistakes made me love them more. Piper was just, there.

Annabeth wanting to hear the Sirens made her even more real for me. =))) I agree with you. I guess it's kind of because I can sort-of relate to them but not at all with Piper since I'm not exactly the "beauty-queen" pretty type and very rich.

I agree, in my opinion Piper thought her life was awful, even though it wasn't bad in demigod standards. Her father did love her, and tried to make her happy even though he wasn't that great at it. I mean look at Annabeth's life or Thalia's life vs. Piper's, whose life is worse?

I agree with you. I mean, compared to others, she already has a great life. Personally, I think that Rick Riordan made her somewhat a 'Mary Sue' that is cleverly hidden by her history. Sorry, it's just an opinion, again.

Think of it this way
reyena is to jason as annabeth is to percy so jason chooseing piper is like percy at the roman camp choosing some random venus girl and if that happpened we would totally bash percy so y should jason be allowed to get another girl
Yeah but y would the author spend so much time building a relationship between Piper and Jason?
