Leo's POV

As the gold flittered down through the air, I jumped up and down. This is going to be AWESOME!! All of a sudden, Hera's face went emotionless. She blinked a few times like she'd just woken up. She looked at Poseidon and then she said, "Zeus," in a annoyed tone, "I'm going to hang out with Poseidon because he's so much better than you." She smiled flirtatiously at Percy"s dad.

Jason looked at me "How many gods or goddesses are you planning to shoot?" he asked me worridly.

"Three, duh." I said looking at him like he'd gone crazy. Dude! There are three arrows! And you're the savior of New Rome.

"Dude, have you ever thought about what Hera's gonna do to you when she finds out you shot her with a love arrow?" Jason asked me.

"I'm more worried about what Athena's gonna do to me when she finds out that I shot her with an arrow." I told him.

"Athena?!" Annabeth yelped. "For Poseidon?! She's going to KILL you!!"

"Oh god Leo." Piper said, "Who's the third?"

"To correct you beauty queen I think you meen oh gods and it just so happens to be your mom." I smiled at the look on her face.

"LEO!!" She screamed. "My mom already has enough love drama!" I just laughed.

"Um, Leo that won't work. You can't shoot Aphrodite." Annabeth told me.

"Um, yea I can!" I said.

"No you can't! It won't work on Aphrodite!" she said smugly.

"Fine. Beauty Queen, you're lucky Annabeth's here." I grumbled.

I looked back to the screen. Apparently Hera had grabbed Poseidon and disappeared to the beach. "I love the beach," she said batting her eyelashes, "don't you?"

"Um, yeah." Poseidon said looking flustered, "Hera, um, don't you, like, aren't you-"

"Married?" she asked. "Yes, to your brother no less, but you are so much better." She hugged him.

All of a sudden Athena started to walk up to them. Might I mention out of nowhere. I bet this was Eros' planning. Having Athena come to the same place and then shoot her? Genius! Athena's voice interupted my thoughts. "Hera! What are you-" as she was talking I saw gold flittering through the air. Then her face went emotionless just like Hera's. "As I said," Athena told Hera. "why are you hugging my boyfriend?"

Hera glared at Athena. "Back off owl girl, he's MINE!"

Poseidon officially looked scared. "Okay, since the sea is my territory, other gods can't come in without my permission, right?" Hera and Athena both nodded and swooned over him. Athena clutched his arm. Poseidon pulled away from her and said. "Bye then!" and disintegrated into the wind.

"No!!" Hera screamed after him, swipping her hand through the air. A fishing pole was lying on the sand. Athena and Hera looked at it and then looked at each other. "Don't you dare." Hera told Athena.

"It's mine queenie!" Athena shouted. (N/A- Shoutout to my friend Riley!)

"Bring it on owl face!!!" Hera screamed back. The both grabbed it at the same time and started wrestling over it. Then the screen beeped. "Email!!" I screamed.

I heard Annabeth whisper to Piper, "When did Leo get so much caffine?" Piper laughed and so did Percy. Soon everyone was laughing. I didn't care though. They were my friends and I'll admit, I might be just a bit annoying at times. Ussually though I'm amazing and they're so lucky to have such an amazing friend.

I got the email up on the screen. It said:

Dear Leo,

I just remembered Leo. The arrow won't work on my mom. Sorry. On a good note, you have another arrow! Want to use it now or later?

Eros

Well I guess I'll just save it until later. Whatever. I emailed Eros back:

Dear Eros,

I'll just save it until later. Thx man, c ya later dude.

FlameBoy

"FlameBoy?" Piper asked with a smile on her face.

"Yea!" I said defensively, "What's wrong with it?" I wasn't sure why it was so funny. I mean, I can summon fire and I'm flame resistant. I saw my friends amused expressions, so I willed my whole body on fire. "I am FLAME BOY!" I said in a low voice which was, or at least I hoped, was scary.

I willed the flames to stop and they all started laughing. "Oh yea," Annabeth said, "I'm so afraid of FlameBoy."

They all started laughing even harder. "What?" I asked confused. I looded down and realized I had burned all my clothes off except my boxers. Omigods this is so embarrassing!! "Soooo..." I said trying to change the subject, but before I could come up with something, Percy snapped a picture of me.

"Oh yea!" He said. "This is totally going on Facebook!!"

"Percy!!!!!" I screamed as I got some clothes out of the emergency closet I have in Bunker 9. This happens every once and awhile, so I put extra clothes in here.

"Yea. You're so flame resistant FlameBoy!" Jason said.

"Like you should be talking Sparky!" I retorted. A conch shell rang in the distance. "Alright!" I said, "Everyone out!" We said our goodbyes (I finished putting my clothes on) and left. Once I got back to my cabin and got settled into my bed, it was already lights out. I retracted into my room below. I used to be afraid of it, but now I understand people die for good causes and that even though Beckendorf died, he died to save others and if I have to die, that would be the best way.
