Hey people! Sorry I've been gone for a little while, life is being a butt kicker to me so I haven't really been able to find the time to write, plus I had a serious case of writers block. XP So apologies ahead of time sorry if this is a little short and/or rushed. Please don't kill me! There are things ahead in this adventure...

Leo stepped into the dining room, arms filled with plates of waffles. You were only waiting for a couple minutes, but that didn't stop you from being starving. Once you got yours you dug in. David, who was sitting beside you, laughed with b/f/n. "Someone is hungry." You playfully glare at them, but continued shoveling waffle down. 

You were the first to finish so you looked at everyone else around you. Everyone was eating, chatting, laughing...well except Nathen. He looked a little uncomfortable, awkwardly stabbing his waffle. You couldn't blame him, it's tough being surrounded by people you don't know. You were about to get up and walk over to talk with him when you felt David grab your hand, squeezing it gently. You looked into those apple green eyes, "I'll go talk to him." He said, then he got up and walked towards Nathen, who looked happy to talk to someone. 

You started conversation with b/f/n and Zion. You guys joked and laughed just like the good old days, before all this demigod business. It was nice to forget the quest, monsters, and certain death for a little bit. That didn't last long. 

Leo stood and cleared his throat dramatically, getting everyone's attention. 

"Since we are all here I have a few things to discuss." 

"Good or bad?" Zion whimpered, obviously wishing anything but bad. 

"Both." Everyone went silent. Leo continued. "Good news is that by tomorrow morning we will be arriving in Wyoming, presuming nothing unexpected happens. Bad news, Festus reported to me that the aerial gears have been damaged due to resent events and that we should touch down somewhere so I can repair them. That and we only have four days left until the supposed destruction of camp." 

The air tingled with electricity, quite literally since David seemed to have that effect. 

"So I need quit a few supplies so I suggest we break into teams of three. I need one team to come with me to the nearest Home Depot while another team needs to consult some spirit that supposedly has the key to free Nike." Everyone looked at Leo as if he just ordered them to jump off a cliff. He sighed and told us his dream while he was nocked out by a certain person. This doesn't surprise you since dreams like these were frequent for a demigod. 

"So!" Leo said while rubbing his hands together. "Volunteers?" 


You and Jaguar ended up going with Leo while David, Zion, and Nico went to confront the knowledgeable spirit. You advised that b/f/n better stay aboard due to health concerns, Nathen decided to stay behind to seek to her. Which was wise, since most quest were originally allowed only three campers on a quest, it was a sacred number three. And she didn't want b/f/n all alone, stuck on the ship. 

The Argo two landed in a pretty empty park, no one payed them attention. Which was fine by you. And it was close enough to where if anything bad happens, they can run to the ship. 

"Have fun shopping with the troublesome duo." David indicated to Leo and Jaguar who were obviously scheming something up to no good. You gave a weak smile, "oh boy." Causing David to  chuckle lightly. You looked into those apple green eyes that were filled with one clear thing, love. You looked around you to make sure no one was watching before pulling David with you to a spot that was out of view from the others. You suddenly wrapped your arms around David, holding him so close as if you were afraid he would suddenly evaporate. Still surprised, David returned the gesture, as if he feared the same thing. "Be safe will you?" You pleaded with eyes full of tears. He looked into your e/c eyes, his response was smashing his lips to yours. He kissed you passionately and desperate. You returned the kiss with just as much emotion.
