"I didn't know you could think," I teased, leaning against the tree trunk, my legs stretched out on the branch I was sitting on. "Your position right now proves that, you little monkey. Now get up before you fall off."
Leo pouted up at me, hanging upside down off the branch by his legs. "But I'm trying to reach the Fleece - anyways, back to my point, were oranges named orange because they're orange, or is orange called orange because oranges are orange?"
"..... Dude-"
Leo looked at me expectantly, as if he was expecting me to agree with him.
Stupid idiot made my brain get scrambled while trying to figure that sentence out -
I rolled my eyes. "Never mind, I hope you fall off, break your neck and die, because my brain is now malfunctioning, thanks to you."
"Ouch- wait, oh crap, I'm feeling dizzy..."
What am I supposed to do with this adorable idiot's moronic ass?
"Well, looks like I gotta save my damsel in distress before she throws up," I deadpanned, grabbing Leo's hand and pulling him back upright, steadying him with my other hand, only for him to immediately collapse against me.
"Oh, what would I do without you, my brave knight in shining armor?" He said dramatically, batting his lashes at me. "How may I repay you for saving my life? A kiss, perhaps?"
"Well, you could start by getting off and not cracking my ribs-"
Leo pouted. "Aw, no kiss?"
I scoffed, rolling my eyes. "You're just talk, Valdez. All bark, no bite-"
"Are you sure about that, Princess?" He whispered, leaning in closer. "We kissed a few days ago, what's stopping us from doing it again?
Oh gods, there's just a few inches between us-
Suddenly, the screech of tires and a loud honk startled us right out of the tree, and we fell out, landing on poor Peleus' back. The dragon choked, coughing out a stream of fire and smoke, before turning around to glare at us.
"OH MY GODS, WE'RE SO SORRY-"
"Are you okay, you poor baby?"
Peleus let out a grumpy little huff of smoke, jerking his head towards the road as if telling us, "Look, you idiot mortals-"
We turned, spotting a (girl? boy?) with green hair stepping out of a smoky black vehicle (is that a taxi? It looks vaguely like a taxi). "THAT. WAS. SO. AWESOME!!"
A blond staggered out of the car right after (her? him?), retching on the side of the road. "Never. Again. Annabeth, I'm gonna kill you-"
Annabeth? Like....
A girl with curly blond hair stepped out of the taxi, grinning at the retching blond as a black-haired boy stepped out of the car right behind her, standing there for a few seconds before also retching into a bush.
Ohmygods, it's them-
"PERCY!! ANNABETH!!" Leo yelled excitedly, waving at them wildly, but trailing off in shock as another blond stepped out from the taxi, this one wearing glasses and a purple t-shirt, who also seemed to go pale at the sight of Leo.
"L-Leo?"
"I-is that... J-Jason...?"
(A/N: CLIFFHANGER!!!)
