A/N: Look new chapter story! Kind of, more like Jeyna pre-HoO drabbles collection. This is all centered around one theme: Jason's birthday! Sorry, Jason, I missed your real birthday by few days. Adult life is hard guys! I was on the fence about publishing this as a whole collection or just separating them into bits. I have almost half of them done. I will finish this by the summer end. Hopefully this month. Thank you for reading, favoriting, reviewing and all the other stuff!

Other updates: Café Jupiter and what could have been will be updated eventually. I have a lot of my plate right now with my summer internship (Making some money!) and another Liper project. Thank you all for favoriting, following, and reviewing everything. I'm sorry for the lack of updates.

Prompt: Could you write a one-shot about Jason going back to Camp Jupiter and surprising Reyna? Strictly friendly, if you will. (A/N: This will happen later)

"Where do you think you're going, birthday boy?" Jason groaned at the teasing tone in Dakota's voice as he felt a warm hand on his shoulder. Bobby pulled the short son of Jupiter away from the edge of the tall wall they were patrolling. He turned reluctantly, frowning at his three best friends. Gwen, Bobby and Dakota stood there with matching mischievous grins that looked out of place with their heavy Roman armor.

"Guys, can we not do this?" Jason whined as he shrugged Bobby's hand off. Undeterred, Dakota and Bobby draped their arms around Jason's shoulders, dragging him towards Gwen who had her hands hidden behind her back. "Gwen..." The blonde smiled and brought her hands in front of her, revealing a large cupcake with purple frosting and tiny lightning bolt sprinkles. A single light blue wax candle sat on top of the sweet. "How did you smuggle a cupcake past Felix?"

"Very carefully." Gwen answered as she handed the cupcake to Bobby and pulled the younger boy into a hug. "It's not every day you're turning twelve." She whispered into his ear as she smoothed down a few stray strands of blond locks which stuck up.

"Especially a son of one of the Big Three. It's kind of unheard of." Bobby added, pulling a lighter out of his pocket and carefully lit the candle. Jason pursed his lips at the mention of his lineage, watching the flame as it licked the wick. He had to grow up with that title, son of Jupiter, a heavy reminder of who he was. He wasn't just Jason Grace, demigod. He was destined for greater things just because who his dad was.

"Come on Jason," Gwen urged as she carefully picked the cupcake up and placed it in his hands. Her signature bright smile encouragingly. "It's your birthday." Jason returned it instinctively. Gwen's smiles were infectious.

"Make a wish, birthday boy." Dakota suggested, as the trio crowded around Jason to protect the flame from the wind. "Maybe it'll come true." Jason frowned at his taller friend and glanced at his friends, his cohort family. He loved them but... I wished someone won't treat me like the son of Jupiter. He blew and the flame flickered slightly before extinguishing. Before anyone could cheer, a loud horn cut through the silence.

"Demigod approaching!" Felix's loud baritone voice shouted from his higher post. The four twelve year olds ran to the edge of the wall, looking at the distance. The wall was built right beside the Little Tiber, which created a natural barrier. The whole patrol unit was focused on the Caldecott Tunnel, not sure what to expect. A low deep roar echoed from the tunnel. Jason and Bobby traded worried glances.

"Do you think they're ok?" Bobby asked as another roar rumbled from the tunnel. Before Jason could answer, a figure bolted from the tunnel, running at full sprint. She looked young but ran with confidence despite her tattered jeans and t-shirt. Her dark hair was pulled in a tight braid. An oddly curved sword held clenched in her right hand. At her heels ran a pair of dogs, long legged and slim bodies built for speed. The sun reflected off their fur making it look metallic. Just seconds after she ran through the tunnel, a winged beast flew out after her. It was hideous with leather wings, bulging arms and thick body. Jason unconsciously leaned forward, dropping his cupcake as he watched intently. The monster was three feet away from reaching the bone-tired girl.

"Behind you!' Jason cried, not sure if the young girl could hear him. The Dirae's arms reached out, ready to strangle her thin neck. Effortlessly, the girl dived, ducking underneath its stretched arms. Her dogs moved in for the kill, grabbing the Dirae's arms, pulling the monster down. A horrible cry escaped the monster's mouth as the girl stood up. Her face was stoic as she lifted her sword with both hands and slashed. The Dirae's head rolled off its body before it exploded in a huge pile of ash.

"Wow." Bobby murmured beside Jason as the girl pulled her sword from the grass. She calmly wiped the ash from her forehead before turning, eying the huge wall which surrounded Camp Jupiter. Jason sucked in a breath when she looked at him. She was his age. Dark onyx eyes clashed with sky blue, unwavering and unimpressed. "I don't think she likes you."

"Shut up, Bobby." Jason hissed back as Felix moved beside the twelve year olds.

"That was impressive, Demigod. What's your name?" The Centurion called as he waved towards her. A cool emotionless expression greeted them as her metal canines stopped at the edge of the river. Her eyes surveyed the wall as she crossed her arms.

"Reyna." She answered coolly. Reyna, Jason repeated in his mind.
