Leo's POV

We were flying over Manhattan. Calypso had fallen asleep, her arms wrapped around me. I sighed, life was pretty good.

Time Skip.


We were just about over Camp Half-Blood when Calypso woke up. She was so tired.

"Hey Sleeping Beauty. How's it going back there?"

"mmmm.... tired."

"alright then babe, we're almost there. You better wake up.'

"Ugh fine, but never call me babe again, or I'll push you off this dragon."

"Awwww, don't be mad babe, I won't ever call you that again, for a price."

"Uh huh, and what would that be?"

"A kiss" I batted my eyelashes.

Calypso leaned in close, so close I could smell her breath. It smelled like spearmint. That mixed with her smell of cinnamon almost made me fall off the dragon on my own. She was so close. Suddenly her smile turned into a scowl, and she pushed me.

I was free falling for at least a minute. Finally I landed on something hard.

"that enough payment for you."

"Yeah I guess, I was really looking forward to that kiss though." Mm

"I can still push you off this thing."

"No need, look." I saw something flying towards us. "Wait, is that... JASON!" I yelled super loud to make sure he could hear me over the deafening wind. "Calypso hold on." I said, then we flew down to meet my friends half way.

As we flew down I noticed Jason was carrying something, or was it someone?  When we finally got to them I noticed it was Piper, that made sense. "Hey Jason, Beauty Queen, long time no see."

"I should punch you off this dragon. You go missing for like two months!  Then you suddenly appear, ALIVE, with some girl, and a dragon, who should have burned upon contact with Gaea!" Piper basically screamed at me, it was kinda funny since Jason had to hold her, so whenever she moved, he moved too.

"No need hun, I've already taken care of that." Piper looked super confused until I said. "Yeah I have no intent to go free falling again." 

Piper looked at Calypso, held out her hand and said "I like you. Piper, daughter of Aphrodite."

Calypso shook her hand and said, " Calypso, daughter of Atlas."

"Wait,what... THE Atlas, the Titan?!" Piper unsheathed her knife Katoptris.

"Whoa everybody, whoa... As much as Calypso would Love to get impaled by Piper's dagger. She is a lovely lady, and she's on our side."  I told them.

"Thanks, but I could have handled that myself."

"Yeah cause you so had that under control."

She just rolled her eyes, suddenly Jason cleared his throat. " Umm, can you two stop fighting like a married couple long enough to get down to camp. There are some lovely people down there who would love to meet you."

I smiled, " how could I turn down adoring Leo fans?"

Jason and Piper climbed on behind Calypso. I had insisted, for old times sake. I heard Piper ask Calypso if she could move forward a bit. She actually did it which surprised me. My guess was Piper used some charmspeak. Calypso moved forward, which forced her to hold on to me tighter. Ugh stupid daughter of Aphrodite. I can handle my relationships on my own. Although, maybe I was a bit grateful.

We touched down and everyone ran over to see us. Even a little goat boy. I soon realized that he was Coach Hedge's son. He kept on yelling high ya! And there was the frantic coach running after him, yelling come here Chuck! Wow... Coach would be the one to name his son after some fighter in a movie. All I could hope was that his middle name wasn't Norris. I felt super bad for the kid.

Anyway after hugs, and a lot of sentimental biz, I was finally allowed to introduce Calypso. Percy looked super embarrassed, poor guy. I would be if I were him. Anyway, I made sure Calypso didn't tell them Atlas was her father. Piper might understand, but I wasn't sure a ton of people dressed in full battle armor, and holding weapons would.

After all that jazz, I went to the dining pavilion with Calypso. I told her sunset was in like half an hour. So we grabbed a picnic basket and set up a picnic on the beach. We sat there in perfect silence for maybe an hour. Then I broke it, of course. I burst out laughing.

" what's so funny?" She asked

"It's just that this reminds me of the first time you kissed me."

"And why is that funny?"

"I have no idea." Then I pulled her into another kiss. When we broke apart she smiled. "You know, a lot of guys promise to come back for me, but your the first one to succeed. And I mean, you? Of all people, it was Leo Valdez?"

I laughed, "you better believe it babe, and I am not letting you go."

"I will make sure to hold you to that, Valdez."

We both laughed and we left to hit the hay. I was sort of sad. Calypso got a room in the big house before better arrangements could be made. I had gotten used to her sleeping in the bed next me and stuff. Just you know being in the same room together.

Any way I went into the Hephaestus cabin, and was greeted by all my cabin mates throwing a huge party for me. They even let Piper, and Jason in on the fun. I had to say it was one heck of a night.  It was super fun. Maybe the most fun I've had in a while. It must have been one of the best nights of my life. I only wish Calypso had been there to share it with me.
