A Love Retreat

I almost set my pancakes on fire a couple weeks later at breakfast.

I was thinking too much about her, and I got so excited that my hand set ablaze and my syrup caught the heat. Luckily we had fire extinguishers everywhere around the ship (from horrible ending past experiences).

"You've gotta keep yourself in control before the entire ship gets set on fire," Jason told me, though I didn't really care. I was too happy to be put into bad spirits.

"Sorry, dude, too excited," I told him with one of my famous eyebrow wiggles. He laughed and said, "You must really like this girl, Leo. Or at least a lot more than your letting on."

"Well I can't help it! She's so much cooler than what we've got on the ArgoII," I said with a slight grin.

"Hey!" Piper and Hazel said from the other side of the room.

"Well..."

"Leo," Annabeth said with a threatening glare which told the rest of the sentence.

"Fine, fine," I said under my breath, "Only here to tell the truth."

"Leo," Piper said, "You are by far the most annoying person ever made by a god."

"Well who else is going to bug you?" I said with a wink.

"I'm done with this conversation," Hazel said, slumping down in her chair.

"I thought you would've given up sooner, Levesque," I said wiggling my eyebrows.

"I probably would've, and don't call me that," she tilted her head back, as if trying to fall asleep.

Suddenly Percy came from above deck, a bit out of breath. He looked excited.

"It's the island," he said catching his breath, "It's Ogygia."
