"Hand it over!" Percy said, motioning for Hazel to place the food in his hand.

"I just don't get how you like this, Percy." Hazel handed Percy a slice of pineapple pizza, and he ate half of it almost immediately.

"Maybe you should slow down." Frank told him.

"I'll be fine." Percy said, but not long after he choked on a piece of pineapple.

After patting his back for what seemed like forever, the group- which consisted of Hazel, Percy, Frank, and Leo- began to eat their food.

Percy looked down from where he was in the passenger seat."Hey, Valdez."

"Yeah?" Leo looked up at him.

"What's this lip gloss doing in your car?" He pulled up a tube of lip gloss- the same lip gloss Calypso owned.

"U-uh. I don't know." Leo lied.

"Oh, come on man. Who is she?"

"Do we know her?" Hazel asked.

"It was uh-" Leo thought. "It was just a hookup."

"Just a hookup?" Percy repeated. "Would she appreciate what you did being called that?"

"No?"

"Then who is she? Is she your girlfriend?"

"Uh...." Leo looked at his hands. "Yeah."

"So who is it?"

Leo looked up at his friends. If there was anyone he could trust with this information, it was Hazel and Frank. Percy he wasn't so sure about. Well, he would have to keep the secret.

"Calypso." Hazel, Frank, and Percy's mouths dropped. "Calypso Nightshade."

"You're... serious?" Frank said.

"Why would I joke about that? I've been meeting up with her every weekend for the past few months."

"Dude," Percy shook his head. "You've been keeping this from us?" Leo nodded. "Do you think things could work out with me and Annabeth if I-"

"Guys!" Hazel butted in. "Leo, I'm happy that you found someone, but they're literally the people we're going after. How long are you gonna keep that a secret? And more importantly how?"

"It's been working so far." Leo explained. "I just don't know what will happen in the next few years. You guys..... you won't say anything, will you?"

Percy patted him on the back. "If we said something at some point, we would get in trouble for knowing and keeping it a secret. We'll have to keep our mouths shut."

"What about Jason?" Frank asked.

"He'll be fine-" His eyes focused on someone on the sidewalk. He rolled down as window and spoke. "Hey!" The person turned around.

"Hello, your majesty." The person was slurring their words.

"Are you okay?"

"Just peachy, your highness."

"Let's get them out of here." The group got out of the car and assessed the person. After some talking, Percy asked. "Where are you headed?" The person told them and Leo winced. "What?"

"That's where Calypso lives." His eyes went wide. "Maybe I shouldn't have said that."

Hazel rolled her eyes. "We won't tell that either."

"I don't recognize them, though."

"It's fine, let's get them home."
