Scene 4

''JASON and PIPER are in his cabin. She is staring into her dagger and holding his hand as he sleeps. The images include a man in a purple shirt and a leafy hat standing next to a TOPEKA 32 sign, a strange round room with herself, Jason, and Percy drowning in strange dark water, and two giant thrones, a large bronze jar in between.''

Jason
Hey. (PIPER drops her dagger)

Piper
You're awake!

Jason
Don't sound so surprised. (He rubs his head.) What happened?

Piper
Leo gone crazy. New Rome destroyed. Uh, you do remember who I am, right?

Jason
Last time I checked, you're my awesome girlfriend Piper. Unless something- (PIPER tackles him in a hug)- I guess not, unless you're trying to strangle me.

Piper
Why would- (a thump from upstairs startles her. PERCY, ANNABETH, and FRANK come running down the hall, covered in tar) 

Jason
What the-

Annabeth
Ran into some tar monsters. Glad to see you're awake, Jason. Leo and Hazel back yet?

Piper
Not yet. Can you start on the repairs, Annabeth? I know Leo taught you a bit.

Annabeth
I can try. Send them over, as soon as they're back with the Celestial Bronze. (they run down the hall and disappear. LEO and HAZEL run down. He is covered with tattoos saying Team Leo', 'Hot Stuff, and 'Narcissus is a loser'.)

Piper
What on Earth, Olympus, and the Underworld happened to you?

Leo
TTYL! (He heads to the engine room)

Hazel
Met Narcissus, and Nemesis. Also the Narcissus Fan Club.

Jason
Doesn't explain much. Emergency meeting in- how long do you need?

Leo
(shouting) 'bout fifteen minutes sounds right!

Jason
15 minutes, then. ( cut to dining room. Coach Hedge and the demigods are seated aroung the table, having a snack.)

Hazel
-and then, Leo had me draw a 'Hot Stuff' tattoo on his shoulder with a pen. Honestly, I don't know what he was thinking.

Leo
I try not to. Think, I mean. It interferes with being insane, and completely nuts.

Hazel
Nuts? You don't look like a praline, or a pecan.

Leo
It's an idiom. You missed the last, like, seventy years, right?! Gosh.

Coach Hedge
Mmm. This tin can is amazing. Too bad they don't have mineral percentages, like they have ingredients.

Annabeth
Anyway, we got the tar at the-(the boat rocks violently to starboard side) -what was that?

Hazel
(embarresed) Uh, we might have angered the lake nymphs. Like, the entire 80-nymph Narcissus Fan Club.

Percy
I'll hold 'em off. Jason, Coach- Would you like to help?

Coach Hedge
Are you crazy? Time for the head-bashing! (He grabs his baseball bat and runs upstairs)

Jason
OK. I'll be right there.

Annabeth
Come back to me, Seaweed Brain. (she hugs him fiercely)

Hazel
I'll just- (looking queasy, she points down the hall, and runs off.)
