Leo groaned. The daughter of love had set his alarm clock the night before (not very loving, in Leo's opinion) in order to get the Latino up for an early start the next morning.

They needed reinforcements. So many things had to be bought/retrieved, even Leo couldn't laugh about it.

The biggest thing: Celestial Bronze. Leo needed that for repairs (that nobody seemed to care about).

He was planning on finding that himself, considering no other one person would go with him (everyone was so clingy to their boyfriend/girlfriend after Percy and Annabeth fell into Tartarus), and they needed 4 groups.

One to get groceries, one to get medical supplies, one to search for Celestial Bronze, and one to guard the ship with Nico and Coach Hedge.

They planned on a quick meeting during breakfast before everyone left.

"Leo!" a familiar voice called (the same one that insisted on setting that darn alarm clock in the first place).

"You better get your butt outta there before I drag it out myself!"

"'M coming, 'm coming!" the fire-summoner grumbled before getting dressed.

He heard sounds of cutlery hitting dishes as he stumbled through the hall, still tired from being woken up so early.

"Morning guys," he greeted the rest of the Seven and Nico as he grabbed a plate, it instantly filling itself with perfectly-toasted pieces of bread.

"Hey, Leo," they replied, though not quite in unison. This made the young demigod smile to himself.

Leo took a seat near the far left corner, an unusual place for him to sit (Jason took his spot, for some reason). Usually he saw the son of Hades slump down over here, but he was over in Coach Hedge's seat, who wasn't even there.

Must still be sleeping, Leo guessed. What, Beauty Queen doesn't see the need to wake the laziest of all satyrs, but the overworked Latino has to get up at 6 in the morning?

Not that Leo was bitter about it, obviously.

"Alright, now that everyone's here," Piper shot a look in Leo's direction, who just grinned innocently in response, "we should get started."

"Me and Annabeth--" Said daughter of Athena cleared her throat, purposefully interrupting her boyfriend.

Percy tried again.

"Annabeth and I volunteer to stay on the ship."

Annabeth didn't protest, so Leo assumed they had either talked about it or silently reached the decision over breakfast.

Piper nodded. "Nico will stay with you. Now, food?"

"We'll go," Hazel chimed in, referring to herself and Frank.

"Then Jason and I'll search for a pharmacy. Perfect!"

The charmspeaker went back to cutting her tofu omelette as Leo sat shell-shocked. What about his Celestial Bronze?

I mean, no difference. I was going by myself to look for it anyway, Leo thought, but the fact that the daughter of Aphrodite forgot to mention it still hurt Leo.

She forgot to mention me, Leo realized.

He cleared his throat and everyone else froze.

"Guys?" His voice sounded a little more pained than Leo had hoped.

Hazel slowly, silently brought a hand to her mouth, Percy winced, and Piper turned to the son of Hephaestus.

"Oh my gods, Leo, I'm so sorry--I--we didn't mean to--!"

"Heh. It's fine, Pipes." Even though it wasn't, not really.

The other teen blinked.

"Well, alright then..."

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

...What?
