AN: OK so its been a while and the chapter is sort of a filler chapter, because I had too revise some of the story. I'm sorry but hey, at least it's something

Chapter 12: Let's revise that plan

Piper didn't really have much to do for the next couple of weeks. Filming didn't actually start until every role was filled, and as the minor character's roles were still being filled, Piper had quite a lot of free time. She spent a lot of time on the phone to Jason, or Annabeth, or Hazel... On the Wednesday before the fake date, she phoned Frank to do over the details. The morning of the fake date she iris messaged the Aphrodite cabin and told them about the issue.

"Guys, hey, this is going to sound a little odd. Basically there's a reporter who hates my dad- like a lot. But since my dad is pretty much untouchable, she's trying to ruin me. Now I didn't really want to be in this movie, but I am so not letting her ruin my rep."

"Piper honey, your rep is already so ruined I don't think she could. Stealing a car ringing any bells?"

Piper grimaced, ok that was a point, but that had been a year ago, and she hadn't publically done anything stupid since, so she could just play that off as a sad child whose dad was never home trying to get attention. Play the; I'm grown up now card, look at all these stupid things I did when I was a child. Besides she wouldn't steal a car now unless it was for a quest.

"Point taken Drew, thanks for that input. Basically Frank, you guys know Frank right? Well we were going to pretend he was my boyfriend- then I'd be seen in public kissing Jason, Danno would alert the media, and then we'd reveal the truth. She'll be discredited, a happy ending for everyone."

Mitchell frowned. "Look Piper, it's a good plan in theory, and it probably would discredit Danno at the end- but it would make you look ridiculously vindictive. Like, who does this upstart think she is, discrediting a famous reporter, by deliberately feeding her false info? That makes you and Jason look really bad."

Lacy spoke up too. "Right, and Pipes, could you and Frank keep up the fake boyfriend/ girlfriend thing for as long as you'd need too? Because at some point you'll have to act like a proper couple. Not just kisses on the cheek, but proper snogs, and that's going to make both of you, and Jason and Hazel very uncomfortable. I get you want to take this reporter down, but perhaps you could do it a different way."

Drew spoke up again. "You should just meet up with loads of boys from camp, and be yourself. If this reporter is as vindictive as you say, she'll make up a story about you being promiscuous, oh and look at her array of boy toys, all criminals of some sort. That would make her look really bad when you revealed you were dating Jason."

Piper's brain went back. Was Drew actually helping her? Sure they were sisters, and in the war they had each other's back for a while, but now things were back to normal she thought Drew would go back to being indifferent at best and hostile at worst.

"No need to look so shocked. Aphrodite is a master at revenge, and as her daughter I inherited that. You may be a dumpster queen, but you're still a sibling, and no-one pulls one over on my family without me ruining them later."

"So your plan is, I meet with Frank, and then kiss him on the cheek, next week rinse and repeat with another boy from camp?...But that won't work! Leo already told Danno that Frank and I were dating. If we change that story now, then Danno won't believe Leo if he tells her anything else!"

"So have Hazel turn up and say she's his girlfriend. Danno will take it as you seducing a poor innocent boy away from his girlfriend. Next week you meet up innocently with... Let's go Malcolm; we'll get him on board somehow. I think he's at Harvard now; we'll get you to take him something from camp- get Danno to see it, and suddenly- 'she's moved on what a vulture' will be all over the papers."

Piper grinned. The idea made a lot of sense. She'd basically be meeting up with friends, and Danno would take it all the wrong way. "So when it's eventually revealed that Jason and I are dating, she'll... But revealing Jason and I are dating won't stop it- people will just think I'm cheating on him."

Mitchell frowned. "You really need another reporter on your side. I don't suppose you know anyone?"

Piper thought back, did her Dad know anyone that might come in handy, surely he had too know some reporters after spending so much time in the media. There was that... Perfect.

"I think perhaps I might. I need to call Hazel about the whole fake date thing. Call you guys back later. Or better yet, look at the magazines next week."

Piper got an idea. An awful idea. She got a wonderful, awful idea. She was also apparently quoting the Grinch in her thought processes. If she had a reporter on her side, who could print the truth about her little outings. A reporter who hated Danno. Well- suddenly pulling this off seemed a lot easier.

After all there was a reason that Tristan Mclean wasn't famous for his daughter stealing a car, and it wasn't that Danno was ill that week.
