My Heart Short Circuits - CALEO -

Calypso

Before Thanksgiving break ended:

"You're gonna lose"

"Ha, you wish"

"Leo has a really steady hand"

"He is a mechanic"

"Stop encouraging him"

"Ha!"

Leo held victoriously the tiny plastic frog he got out of the man's belly.

"Dammit!" Calypso yelled. Tethys clapped in congratulations. "Don't clap for him, this is the third time he wins in Operation! The third time you lost, aren't you mad?" Calypso looked as if she was ready to spit fire at Leo, who kept grinning.

"It's not his fault you are such a sore loser, Calypso" Zoë said.

"I am not a sore loser!" Calypso said through her teeth. Calypso's grandmother let out a laugh. "Stop laughing!" which only made her grandmother laugh more, everyone else starting to join the laughing fest.

"Don't be so tense Cal, it's just a game-" Leo was cut off by Calypso.

"This is not just a game, Leo Valdez! This is now war! I challenge you to a game night."

The tension in the room was high as Calypso glared at Leo. Leo, never one to turn down a challenge, glares back her. He stands up with a sigh.

"Alright," he smirked, "I accept your challenge." He holds out his hand for her to shake, as if sealing a deal. With determination, Calypso shakes his hand.

The three spectators-Zoë, Tethys, and Calypso's grandmother- just looked at each other with confusing looks as to what the hell just happened.
________________________________

Tethys and Calypso's grandmother left to go have a dinner together, a sort of mother and daughter in law dinner. The other three stayed behind and started the challenge.

"The first game of this exciting night is!" Zoë, who had decided to be the host of the challenge, stayed silent to let the tension sink in. Leo seemed calm as he waited, but Calypso was jumping in her seat.

"Is..."

"Is...?"

"Is..."

"Is...?"

"Is-"

"Just say it already!" Calypso was done with Zoë antics and snapped.

"Okay! The game is...Just Dance!"

"Yes!" Calypso punched the air with her fist in excitement. "You're so screwed!"

"You know that even if you win this one there are still other games, right?" Leo said as he stood up and grabbed the wii remote.

"I'll still win" Calypso grabbed the other remote.

"We'll see"

"Okay, so I decided the song since we wouldn't want this to be in favor of anyone, so the song is going to be...." Instead of saying what the song is, she goes to the song on the Wii U and when she stops on "You're the one that I want" from Grease, she grins.

"Um, sis...this song has a few moves that are with the other person..." Calypso looks at Leo and sees that he is blushing a bit.

"Oh, it's nothing to bad. The only real bad move is the last one where the girl jumps on the guy. I'm sure you guys can handle it"

"Wait, why cant we just mimic the moves? I don't actually need to carry her, or have to do moves together, right?"

Calypso realized that Leo must have seen this dance before, just as she has, and seemed embarrassed. She was glad that Leo wouldn't try to take advantage of this, but the competitive side of Calypso told her that she could use this to her advantage.
