"You guys are boring." Piper announced. Luke glared at her through the mirror, looking as if he would kill her.

The "group" was on their way to a local night club/casino, hoping to find more information about the people the girls were working with.

Annabeth looked out window, sharing irrelevant facts about the buildings they passed by ever few minutes. Piper bounced her leg up and down while Calypso ran her fingers furiously through her hair. "I agreed to this mess, the least you could do was let me brush my hair." Calypso scowled.

"Why?" Leo smirked. "Do you need to look good for all the guys that'll be there?"

Calypso flipped around in her seat."Shutup you-"

"Can we play some music?" Piper asked.

"No." Luke said immediately.

"Why not?"

"Because this isn't an Uber. It's a very serious mission."

Piper and Calypso burst out laughing while Annabeth wore a small smile om her face. "How do you take yourself seriously?"

"JUST SHUTUP!" Luke yelled.

"You need to work on your temper. I could sing, it usually helps people calm down!" Piper snickered.

"SHUT-"

"Just be quiet, alright?" Jason ordered in the calmest voice he could.

For a few minutes, it was silent in the car.

"When light deals us cards," Piper began to sing. "Make everything taste like it is salt."

Calypso swiftly joined in. "Then you come through like the sweetner you are to bring the bitter taste to a halt."

"And then you get it, get it," Calypso and Piper bopped up and down, singing the chorus.

Calypso took the lead. "I like the way, you lick, the bowl."

"You lick the bowl." Piper echoed.

"Somehow your method touches, my soul."

"Touches my soul."

Luke's eye twitched as he continued trying his best to focus on the road in front of him.

The two girls came together again. "When life deals us cards, make everything taste like it is salt." Then, Annabeth joined in, adding a few words here and there.

All the agents could do was sit and listen. Leo had his eyes fixed on Calypso, and every few seconds Luke would look over at him and scoff.

The girls eventually reached the bridge of the song, and Luke reached the end of his patient. "ENOUGH!" He shouted, slamming his hands on the wheel. He flipped around to the girls sitting behind him. "WE'RE HERE. OUT, GET THEM OUT OF MY CAR!"

Hazel opened the door, and the ladies got out of the car, somehow unfazed by Luke's outburst.

"Which game do you want to play first, Valdez?"

Leo stared at Calypso, still not believing what was happening. Her hand was in his, and she was dragging him through a part if the casino. It was a horrible idea for him to be letting the two of them walking around like this, hand in hand, but Leo couldn't bring himself to pull away. It just felt... right?

Calypso stopped in front of a claw machine and looked up at Leo. He smiled a bit. "Why is there a claw machine here?" He looked inside it. "And why are stuffed animals the prize?"
