"Well, that's a way to go out in style." I said to Calypso. She just finished on the final touches of her "confinement graffiti" or whatever. All this means is that my ADHD accidently kicked in as we were leaving Ogygia and I set fire to the moonlace that was still growing. Calypso didn't care though. She had enough stored for us to get back to Camp and then some. She had the brilliant idea to set fire to everything on the island except her invisible servants. This is why I love this girl so much!

"Shall we?" Bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Shall we what?" I asked stupidly.

"Shall we get off of this island?" She replied with a fake exasperated sigh.

"Oh yeah, right. I totally knew that. Come on Festus! You can do it!" Suddenly Festus rose off of the ground and into the air. Calyso held on tightly to my shirt and I grinned. She was so beautiful when she is scared. And, when she's not scared. Even when she looks like a bomb went off behind her and she is all dusty she's still-.

"Agggh! Leo look!" Calypso shrieked.

"Oh yeah. That is the Colessium. Not any good memories there."

"Oh and over there! Over there! Leo look!" Calypso did this at several more sights, all of which didn't have any good memories. I just smiled like an even bigger idiot than I probably was. I have never seen someone look so happy. She looks like Percy when he sees blue food. This train of thought led back to my friends. Man I miss them.

"Hey, Calypso?" I turned around and looked into her beautiful, dark eyes.

"Yeah?" She was yelling over the wind.

"I know that you really want to see the world but-"

"But you want to go back to Camp Half- Blood to see your friends. It's okay Leo, as long as we have Festus, we can hop on him ang go on an adventure any time." She looked disappointed, but she smiled through it. "Plus, I kind of want your help with something." She whispered her plan into my ear. Man, I love this girl so much.

As soon as we dropped down in the forest, we enacted stage one of "Operation PP" Bad name, I know but it was either that or "PPBHLCOOFF". This all universally translates to "Prank Percy Because He Left Calypso On Ogygia For Forever". Well, considering that it took me from Rome to here to figure out the acronym, that is a new record!

Our plan was pretty much working out. We managed to sneak into Percy's cabin undetected. Actually, it was quite easy. It was really quiet and the whole camp was a mess. It looked like the Stolls' got ahold of some firecrackers and asked Zeus to do the honors of blowing them up. Before anything bad could cross into my mind, Calypso already had the supplies. On the way over the ocean, I taught her what the basic essentials of this century were. Like whipped cream. I had most of the things needed for this prank in my tool belt, but Calypso carried the whipped cream. Together, we put some in Percy's pillow case and then put it back. We started assembling the rest of the parts of the prank. "Now this is no cliche'prank Calypso," Imitating Chrion's low voice. " It takes only the bravest and the most daring-"

"Shhh! Stop talking and start pranking!" Calypso hissed. Then, she giggled. "How do we know this is going to work?"

"How is it not going to work?" I replied. I put the finishing touches of my prank and I found myself out on Percy's deck looking out over the Long Island Sound.

"Man, it's good to be home."

We stayed in the forest near Percy's cabin and watched until he showed up at the door of his cabin. Wait. What is Annabeth doing.

"Hey Wise Girl!" Came Percy's voice. "I'm going to IM my mom and fix the last finishing touches on our trip." Man. Does he always talk this loud?

"O.K. Seaweed brain. I'll just lay down..." Then, you could hear Annabeth's screams echo through the whole camp.

"Come on Calypso. That's our que." I took Calypso's hand and ran to the middle of camp. Annabeth stormed out covered in spray paint, gummy worms and whipped cream. If looks could kill...

"Stolls!" She shouted. Both Travis and Connor appeared at the front of the crowd.

"Sorry, Annabeth. But it wasn't us. We swear!" They said in unison.

"Who did this though?" With that, I set my hands ablaze and Calypso sang a few notes and the wind obeyed her. Suddenly, there was a picture of her and I hugging. It was outlined with the fire from my hands. When the picture dissolved, Annabeth, Percy, Piper, Jason, Hazel and Frank came forward. For everyones information, Annabeth and Piper slapped me.

"What were you thinking Valdez?!" All of them shouted. I just grinned even though my face hurt.

"The supreme mchizzle is back from the dead!" I said, holding my hands up like a zombie. "Well, that would be the case if I was dead for more than two seconds. But seriously, how did it possibly take you this long to figure it out. Festus has been in the strawberry field ever since this afternoon.

"Looking for this?" Nyssa was standing right next to a polished Festus.

"He must've gotten into Bunker 9!"

Piper came up to me and threw her arms around my shoulders and sobbed. Percy, Jason and even Frank came up to give me a "man hug" and Annabeth and Hazel cried along with Piper. Nico just stood back.

"Hey, Hey, HEY! GUYS!!" They finally stopped hugging and crying. "Wanna meet my girlfriend? Calypso, this is everyone. Everyone, this is Calypso. You may know her." I shot an ugly look at Percy.

"Uhh, hey Calypso. Long time, no see. You got to know that I am really sorry about-" Calypso came up to him and slapped him. Then she hugged him

"Ok, I'm cool with it. It just felt really good to do that."

"Don't even get me started..." Annabeth gave her a knowing look.

"Hey!" Percy ruffled Annabeth's spray painted hair. Calypso giggled.

"Nice to see you back in one piece Mr. Valdez." Chiron came up behind me and slapped me on the back. Hard. Like, I shot a couple feet forward.

"Celebratory dessert and war games for everyone! Chiron yelled. Everybody cheered and went to get their armor on. It was the best night ever!
